1Cor 15,35-37.42-49
Bazalwane, omunye uzothi: «Abafileyo bavuswa kanjani? Bazoza ngaluphi umzimba? ». Siwula! Lokho okutshalile akuphili ngaphandle kokuthi kufe kuqala. Ngokuqondene nalokho okuhlwanyelayo, awuhlwanyeli umzimba ozozalwa, kodwa uhlwanyela uhlamvu lukakolweni olulula noma olunye uhlobo. Kunjalo-ke ngokuvuka kwabafileyo: kuhlwanyelwa kunokonakala, kuvuswa kungonakali; kuhlwanyelwa kunosizi, kuvuka kunenkazimulo; kuhlwanyelwa kunobuthakathaka, kuvuka ngamandla; kuhlwanyelwe umzimba wesilwane, kuvuswe umzimba kamoya.
Uma kukhona umzimba wesilwane, kukhona nomzimba womoya. Ngempela, kulotshiwe ukuthi umuntu wokuqala, u-Adamu, waba yisidalwa esiphilayo, kodwa u-Adamu wokugcina waba ngumoya ophilisayo. Kwakungekho umzimba womoya kuqala, kodwa owesilwane, bese kuba okomoya. Umuntu wokuqala, othathwe emhlabeni, wenziwe ngomhlabathi; umuntu wesibili uvela ezulwini. Njengoba umuntu wasemhlabeni enjalo, banjalo nalabo basemhlabeni; futhi njengoba umuntu wasezulwini enjalo, banjalo nalabo abasezulwini. Futhi njengoba nje sasifana nomuntu wasemhlabeni, ngakho-ke sizofana nomuntu wasezulwini.
IVANGELI LOSUKU
Kusuka eVangelini ngokusho kukaLuka
Lk 8,4-15
Ngaleso sikhathi, njengoba isixuku esikhulu sabuthana futhi abantu bevela kuye yonke imizi beza kuye, uJesu wathi ngomfanekiso: «Umhlwanyeli waphuma wayotshala imbewu yakhe. Ngesikhathi ehlwanyela, ezinye zawela ngasendleleni zanyathelwa ngezinyawo, zadliwa izinyoni zezulu. Enye ingxenye yawela etsheni futhi, lapho nje ihluma, yabuna ngenxa yokushoda komswakama. Enye ingxenye yawela phakathi kwamabhuleki, amabhuleki akhula kanye nayo ayiminyanisa. Enye yawela emhlabathini omuhle; yahluma, yathela okuphindwe kayikhulu. " Esho lokhu, wababaza: "Noma ubani onezindlebe zokulalela, lalela!"
Abafundi bakhe bambuza ngencazelo yalo mfanekiso. Futhi wathi: "Kunikezwe kuwe ukwazi izimfihlakalo zombuso kaNkulunkulu, kodwa kwabanye kuphela ngemifanekiso, ukuze
ukubona kaboni
futhi ngokulalela abaqondi.
Incazelo yalo mzekeliso yile: imbewu iyizwi likaNkulunkulu.Izimbewu eziwele endleleni yilabo abezilalele, kepha bese kufika uSathane athathe iZwi alisuse ezinhliziyweni zabo, ukuze kungenzeki ukuthi, ngokukholwa, zisindisiwe. Labo abasetsheni yilabo okuthi, uma bezwa, bamukele iZwi ngenjabulo, kepha bengenazimpande; bakholwa okwesikhashana, kodwa ngesikhathi sokulingwa bayehluleka. Labo abawela emabhulabhulwini yilabo okuthi, ngemuva kokulalela, bazivumele bancishwe indlela ukukhathazeka, ingcebo nobumnandi bempilo futhi bangafiki ekuvuthweni. Labo abasenhlabathini enhle yilabo okuthi, ngemuva kokulalela iZwi ngenhliziyo ebumbene nenenhliziyo enhle, baligcine futhi bathele izithelo ngokubekezela.
AMAZWI KA BABA OYINGCWELE
Lo mhlwanyeli ngandlela thile "ungumama" wayo yonke imifanekiso, ngoba ukhuluma ngokulalela iZwi. Kusikhumbuza ukuthi iyimbewu ethelayo futhi esebenzayo; futhi uNkulunkulu uyisakaza ngomusa yonke indawo, kungakhathalekile ukuthi imfucuza kanjani. Injalo nenhliziyo kaNkulunkulu! Ngamunye wethu uyinhlabathi lapho imbewu yeZwi iwela phezu kwayo, akekho umuntu okhishelwa ngaphandle. Singazibuza ukuthi: ngiwumhlaba onjani? Uma sifuna, ngomusa kaNkulunkulu singaba inhlabathi enhle, elinywe ngokucophelela futhi ihlwanyelwe, ukuze kuvuthwe imbewu yeZwi. Isivele ikhona ezinhliziyweni zethu, kepha ukuyenza ithele izithelo kuncike kithi, kuya ngokwamukelwa esikugcinele le mbewu. (Angelus, 12 Julayi 2020)
