ISt Joseph ungubaba ongokomoya ozokukulwela
UDon Donald Calloway wabhala umsebenzi wokufudumala ophelele nowomuntu siqu. Ngempela, uthando nomdlandla wakhe ngesihloko sakhe uyabonakala kuwo wonke amakhasi ale ncwadi. Ngakho-ke kufanelekile ukusho okwedlule kwakhe, okuyiqiniso ngaphansi kokuvikelwa kwalesi sahluko kuye, kanye nokuhlonishwa kukaMadonna, ozinikele ngokusobala (ungubaba waseMarian we-Illusionsate Concepts).
Sifunda ukuthi "ngaphambi kokuguquka kwakhe, bekungukulahlwa kwesikole esiphakeme esake saxoshwa kwelinye izwe, nesikhungo kabili futhi saphonswa ejele kaningana". Konke lokhu bekungaphambi kokuthi "aguquke kakhulu". Umuntu ukhangwa yizindaba zokuguqulwa ezinjengale, yize isifinyezo esilingayo sishiya eminye imibuzo ingaphendulwa.
AmaKhatholika amaningi azokwazi ngokunyuswa okuthandwayo kukaSanta Louis de Montfort wokunikezela kwezinsuku ezingama-33 ku-Our Lady futhi kungenzeka ukuthi usevele wazingcwelisa ngokusemthethweni. UDon Calloway ubakhumbuza ukuthi ukuzinikela eSt Joseph kuzoxhasa kuphela futhi kujulise okwandulelayo. "Awulona ilungu lomndeni ongumzali ongayedwa," egcizelela, "uMariya ungunyoko ongokomoya futhi uSt Joseph ungubaba wakho ongokomoya" - kanye neqiniso lokuthi "izinhliziyo zikaJesu, uMariya noJoseph bamunye ".
Manje kungani ukuzinikezela ku-Saint Joseph kubalulekile? Kungumqondo wombhali ukuthi isikhathi sikaJoseph sesifikile. AmaKatolika anomqondo womlando wobuholi azokuqonda lokhu okuphawuliwe futhi, empeleni, uCalloway wengeze imicimbi eminingi eminyakeni eyi-150 eyedlule ukusekela umbono wakhe. Ngo-1870, uPius IX wamemezela uSanta Joseph Patron weSonto Lonke. Ngo-1871 Cardinal Vaughan wasungula i-oda kaJosephite. Ngo-1909, uSanta Pius X wamukela iLitany ye-Saint Joseph. Ngo-1917 eFatima (ngokubabazekayo, kuhlelo lokugcina lwango-Okthoba 13), uSt. Joseph uyavela futhi ubusisa umhlaba.
Ngo-1921 uBenedict XV wengeze ukubizwa okukhethekile kwe-Saint Joseph kwi-Divine Lode. UPius XII wasungula umkhosi weSan Giuseppe Lavoratore ngoMeyi 1. Ngo-1962 uJohn XXIII wafaka igama leSan Giuseppe kuCanon of the Mass. Ngo-2013, uPapa uFrancis wafaka igama likaSt. Joseph kuyo yonke imithandazo ye-Eucharistic.
Lokhu kuphela ukukhethwa kokufakwa okwandayo kukaSt. Joseph ekukhulekeleni okusemthethweni kanye nonembeza beSonto. Basikhumbuza ukuthi uNkulunkulu akenzi lutho ngaphandle kwenhloso yemvelo - kwesinye isikhathi ukuqonda ngemuva komcimbi kuphela. KuDon Calloway, ukuphakama kweSt. Joseph kubaluleke kakhulu ezikhathini zethu, "ukusisiza ukuvikela umshado kanye nomndeni". Nangempela uyaqhubeka ngokubona ukuthi "abantu abaningi abasazi ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba yindoda noma umfazi, kungakhathaleki ukuthi yini eyakha umshado nomndeni". Wengeza ukuthi "umhlaba wonke udinga ukushunyayelwa, okubandakanya nenani elikhulu lamaKristu abhapathiziwe".
Akekho umKatolika olandela izindaba zomphakathi ozokwazi ukungenela lokhu, noma ukuphawula kokuthi "amazwe aseke asungulwa imigomo yeJudeo-Christian aqothulwe yimibono nezinhlangano ezifuna ukuhlwitha umphakathi konke okungcwele".
Iphuzu lokuzinikezela okusemthethweni kusho ukuthi uSt. Joseph uba ngubaba wakhe ongokomoya ukuze "ufuna ukufana naye", kuzo zonke izimfanelo zakhe zobudoda. Kulabo abathanda ukugcina impilo yabo yokuzinikela ilula ngangokunokwenzeka, umbhali uphawula ukuthi uzokwenza umthandazo olula wesabelo, noma angalandela uhlelo lokulungiselela ukuzinikezela okuhlelekile. Naye ngokwakhe wakhetha ukulingisa indlela yezinsuku ezingama-33 yeSt Louis de Montfort.
Incwadi kaCalloway ihlukaniswe izingxenye ezintathu. Ingxenye I ichaza ukulungiswa kwezinsuku ezingama-33. Ingxenye II iqukethe "Izimangaliso zeSt. Joseph" kanye neNgxenye III zibeka emithandazweni yakhe.
Ingxenye I ihlola zonke izici ezingcwele zomlingiswa weSt. Joseph, ngezingcaphuno ezivela emibhalweni kanye nakubangcwele. Abanye balaba, njengo- "Guardian weNtombi", bazojwayela; ezinye, njenge- "Usongo Lamademoni" zingase zibe zintsha. UDon Calloway usikhumbuza ukuthi uSathane ungokoqobo, kanye nemimoya emibi: "Ngezikhathi zokwesaba, ukucindezelwa, ingozi ebulalayo kanye nesilingo esikhulu" kufanele sicele usizo lukaSt. Joseph: "Uzonilwela".
Ingxenye II ifaka ubufakazi obuningi babangcwele abanjengo-André Bessette, uSanta John Paul II noJosemaría Escrivá ukukhombisa ukuthi kubaluleke kangakanani ukuzinikela kuSanta Joseph ekuqhubekeni kwabo ngokomoya.
Ngemuva kwale ncwadi, uBaba Calloway ufaka imisebenzi yobuciko ayithuma eSt Joseph. Kulokhu, engikuthanda kakhulu isithonjana somculi ongaziwa. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ikhombisa ikhwalithi yomkhuleko futhi engapheli yobudala yesithonjana, ngokuhlukile kweminye imisebenzi evame ukuthambekela, isitayela esithile esithandekayo semifanekiso yenkolo edumile, ejwayelekile ezithombeni ezingcwele.
Into ebalulekile kuma Katolika, noma ngabe bakhetha ukungcwelisa iSt Joseph noma cha, ukufunda okwengeziwe ngaleli elingcwele labangcwele, abamiswe uNkulunkulu ukuba abe umvikeli kanye nomvikeli wethu njengoba ayenza kuLwethu noJesu.
