Yiba nentlonipho kubafuduki yayiyindawo yengxoxo kunye noSekela Mongameli wase-US uVance iiyure ngaphambi kokusweleka kukaPope Francis.
UPope Francis unqwenelele wonke umntu iPasika emyoli izolo. Emva koko, wacela uBhishophu omkhulu uRavelli ukuba afunde umyalezo wakhe we-Ista, obongoza uxolo kunye nentlonipho yobomi bomntu: abangekazalwa, abantu abadala, abagulayo, abahluphekayo kunye nabafudukayo. UPapa uFrancis wazalwa nguJorge Mario Bergoglio ngomhla we-17 kaDisemba 1936 eFlores, eBuenos Aires, eArgentina, unyana wabafuduki.
UPope uFrancis uye wakhuthaza ngokuqhubekayo isidima kunye namalungelo abafuduki kunye neembacu, egxininisa ukuba abasisongelo kodwa babonakalisa abantu bakaThixo kuhambo. Ubongoze iCawe kunye nehlabathi ukuba lamkele abaphambukeli ngobubele, beqaqambisa isidima sabo esingenasiphelo nesigqwesileyo. UPapa uFrancis uye wagxeka imigaqo-nkqubo eyakhiwe ngamandla ecalula abafuduki, ebabiza ngokuthi "banesono" kunye "nobugebenga".
IPasika emnandi, nguPope Francis
UKrestu uvukile, haleluya! Bazalwane noodade abathandekayo, iPasika emnandi!
Namhlanje, ekugqibeleni, ukucula kuka-“alleluya” kuvakala kwakhona eBandleni, kudlula emlonyeni ukuya emlonyeni, entliziyweni ukuya entliziyweni, kwaye oku kwenza abantu bakaThixo kulo lonke ihlabathi baphalaze iinyembezi zovuyo.
Kwingcwaba elingenanto eYerusalem, siva iindaba ezilungileyo esingazilindelanga: UYesu, owayebethelelwe emnqamlezweni, “akakho apha, uvukile” ( Yoh.Lk 24:5). UYesu akakho engcwabeni, uyaphila!
Uthando luyoyisile intiyo, ukukhanya phezu kobumnyama nenyaniso phezu kobuxoki. Uxolelo loyisile ngaphezu kwempindezelo. Ububi abukapheli kwimbali; iya kuhlala ide iphele, ingabi saphakama; ayisenagunya phezu kwabo balwamkelayo ubabalo lwalo mhla.
Mawethu, ingakumbi abo niva iintlungu neentsizi, isikhalo senu sivakele kwaye iinyembezi zenu zibaliwe; akukho namnye kubo ulahlekileyo! Ngemfesane nokufa kukaYesu, uThixo ubuthabathele kuye bonke ububi obukulo mhlaba kwaye ngenceba yakhe engapheliyo waboyisa. Ulincothule ikratshi ledemon elityhefa intliziyo yomntu, libangele ugonyamelo nobuqhophololo macala onke. IMvana kaThixo iyoyisa! Kungenxa yoko, namhlanje, sinokudanduluka ngovuyo sithi: “UKristu, ithemba lam, uvukile! (Ukulandelelana kwePasika)
Uvuko lukaYesu lusisiseko sethemba lethu. Kuba ekukhanyeni kwesi siganeko, ithemba alisekho inkohliso. Ndiyabulela kuKristu - wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni wavuswa kwabafileyo - ithemba alidanisi! I-Spes non confundit! (cf. igumbi 5:5). Elo themba asikokubaleka, kodwa lucelomngeni; alukhohlisi, koko lusinika amandla.
Bonke abathembele kuThixo babeka izandla zabo eziwileyo esandleni sakhe esomeleleyo, esomeleleyo; banduluka banduluka. Bekunye noYesu ovusiweyo, baba ngabahambi bethemba, amangqina oloyiso lothando namandla oBomi ahluthiweyo.
UKristu uvukile! La mazwi ayichaza yonke intsingiselo yobukho bethu, kuba asidalelwanga ukufa kodwa senzelwe ubomi. I-Ista ngumbhiyozo wobomi! UThixo wasidala ukuba siphile yaye ufuna intsapho yoluntu ivuke kwakhona! Emehlweni akhe, bonke ubomi buxabisekile! Ubomi bomntwana osesibelekweni sikanina, kwanobomi babalupheleyo nabagulayo, abathi kumazwe amaninzi ngakumbi nangakumbi bajongwa njengabantu abalahliweyo.Olunjani lona ukuba lukhulu unxano lokufa, lokubulala, esilubona suku ngalunye kwiimfazwe ezininzi ezigqubayo kwiindawo ezahlukahlukeneyo zehlabathi lethu! Olunjani lona ugonyamelo esilubonayo, ngokufuthi kwanaphakathi kweentsapho, olujoliswe kumabhinqa nabantwana! Ingakanani indelelo evuselelwa ngamaxesha athile kwabo babuthathaka, abajongelwe phantsi, nabafudukayo!
Ngolu suku, ndingathanda ukuba sonke sibe nethemba elitsha kwaye sivuselele ukuthembela kwethu kwabanye, kuquka abo bahlukileyo kunathi, okanye abavela kumazwe akude, bezisa amasiko angaqhelekanga, iindlela zokuphila kunye neengcamango! Ngokuba sonke singabantwana bakaThixo.
Ndingathanda ukuba sihlaziye ithemba lethu lokuba uxolo lunokwenzeka! Ukusuka kwi-Holy Sepulchre, iCawe yoVuko, apho kulo nyaka i-Ista ibhiyozelwa ngamaKhatholika kunye namaOthodoki kwangolo suku lunye, ngamana ukukhanya koxolo kungakhanya kulo lonke iLizwe eliNgcwele nakwihlabathi liphela. Ndibonisa ukusondela kwam kwiimbandezelo zamaKristu ePalestina nakwaSirayeli, kunye nabo bonke abantu bakwaSirayeli kunye nabantu basePalestina. Imo yezulu ekhulayo yokuchaswa kwamaYuda kwihlabathi lonke iyothusa. Nangona kunjalo, ndicinga ngabantu baseGaza, kunye noluntu lwamaKristu ngokukodwa, apho ungquzulwano olubi luqhubeka lubangela ukufa kunye nokutshatyalaliswa kunye nokudala imeko ephawulekayo kunye neyobuhlungu yobuntu. Ndibongoza amaqela alwayo: biza ukupheliswa, khulula abathinjwa, kwaye uncede abantu abalambileyo abalangazelela ikamva loxolo!
Masithandazele uluntu lwamaKristu eLebhanon naseSyria, olujongene notshintsho olubuthathaka kwimbali yalo. Banqwenela uzinzo kunye nokuthatha inxaxheba kubomi bezizwe zabo. Ndibongoza iCawe yonke ukuba igcine amaKrestu oMbindi Mpuma oyintanda kwiingcinga kunye nemithandazo.
Ndikwacinga ngakumbi ngabantu baseYemen, abajongene nenye yezona ngxaki zinzima kakhulu kwaye zithatha ixesha elide emhlabeni ngenxa yemfazwe, kwaye ndimema bonke ukuba bafumane izisombululo ngengxoxo eyakhayo.
Wanga uKrestu ovukileyo angayinika iUkraine, ephanziswe yimfazwe, isipho sakhe se-Ista soxolo, kwaye akhuthaze onke amaqela abandakanyekayo ukuba alandele iinzame ezijolise ekufumaneni uxolo olunobulungisa noluhlala luhleli.
Ngolu suku lomthendeleko, masikhumbule i-South Caucasus kwaye sithandazele ukuba isivumelwano soxolo sokugqibela phakathi kwe-Armenia ne-Azerbaijan kungekudala siza kusayinwa kwaye siphunyezwe, kwaye sikhokelela kuxolelwaniso okudala lulindelwe kulo mmandla.
Ngamana ukukhanya kwePasika kungakhuthaza iinzame zokukhuthaza imvisiswano kwintshona yeBalkans kunye nokuzinzisa iinkokeli zezopolitiko kwiinzame zabo zokuphelisa ukuxhatshazwa kunye neengxabano, kunye, kunye namazwe abo angamahlakani kulo mmandla, ukugatya izenzo eziyingozi neziphazamisayo.
Wanga uKrestu ovukileyo, ithemba lethu, angabanika uxolo nentuthuzelo abantu baseAfrika abangamaxhoba obundlobongela neengxabano, ingakumbi eDemocratic Republic of the Congo, eSudan, naseSouth Sudan. Ngamana angabaxhasa abo babandezelekayo ngenxa yengxwabangxwaba ekwiSahel, kuphondo lweAfrika, nakummandla weGreat Lakes, kwanaloo maKristu athi kwiindawo ezininzi angakwazi ukuvakalisa ukholo lwawo ngokukhululekileyo.
Akunakubakho uxolo ngaphandle kwenkululeko yonqulo, inkululeko yokucinga, inkululeko yokuthetha, nokuhlonela iimbono zabanye.
Noxolo alunakubakho ngaphandle kokuthotywa kwezixhobo ngokwenene! Imfuneko yokuba wonke umntu abonelele ngokhuselo lwayo kufuneka ingajiki ibe lugqatso lokuphinda kukhuselwe izixhobo. Ukukhanya kwePasika kusiqhubela ekubeni siqhawule imiqobo edala iyantlukwano kwaye izaliswe ziziphumo ezibi kwezopolitiko nezoqoqosho. Kusikhuthaza ukuba sikhathalelane, sandise umanyano lwethu, kwaye sisebenzele uphuhliso oludibeneyo lomntu ngamnye.
Ngeli xesha, masingasileli ukunceda abantu baseMyanmar, abathwaxwa yimfazwe iminyaka emininzi, abathi, ngenkalipho nangomonde, bajongana nemiphumo yenyikima etshabalalisayo eSagaing, eyabangela ukufa kwamawaka kunye nokubandezeleka okukhulu kwabaninzi abasindileyo, kuquka iinkedama nabantu abadala. Sithandazela amaxhoba kunye nabo babathandayo, kwaye sibulela ngokusuka entliziyweni onke amatsha-ntliziyo anesisa aphumeza olu ncedo. Isibhengezo sokupheliswa komlilo ngabadlali abahlukeneyo kweli lizwe luphawu lwethemba kulo lonke elaseMyanmar.
Ndibongoza bonke abo bakwizikhundla zoxanduva lwezopolitiko kwihlabathi lethu ukuba banganikezeli kwingqiqo yoloyiko olukhokelela ekubeni babe likheswa kwabanye, koko basebenzise izibonelelo ezikhoyo ukunceda abasweleyo, ukulwa nendlala kunye nokukhuthaza amaphulo akhuthaza uphuhliso. Ezi “zizixhobo” zoxolo: izixhobo ezakha ikamva, endaweni yokuhlwayela imbewu yokufa!
Kwanga umgaqo wobuntu ungaze usilele ukuba luphawu lwezenzo zethu zemihla ngemihla. Xa sijamelene nenkohlakalo yeengxabano ezibandakanya abantu abangakhuselekanga kunye nokuhlaselwa kwezikolo, izibhedlele kunye nabasebenzi bokunceda abantu, asikwazi ukuzivumela ukuba silibale ukuba akusiyo into ekujoliswe kuyo, kodwa abantu, ngamnye unomphefumlo kunye nesidima somntu.
Kulo nyaka weJubhile, yanga iPasika ingalixesha elifanelekileyo lokukhululwa kwamabanjwa emfazwe nawezopolitiko!
Bazalwana noodade abathandekayo,
KwiMfihlakalo yePasika yeNkosi, ukufa nobomi kwasukuzana kumlo onzima, kodwa ngoku iNkosi iphila ngonaphakade (cf. Ukulandelelana kwePasika). Uzalisa ngengqiniseko yokuba nathi sibizelwe ukuba nesabelo kubomi obungenasiphelo, xa ukungqubana kwezixhobo nendudumo yokufa ingasayi kuphinda ivakale. Masithembele kuye, kuba nguye yedwa onokwenza zonke izinto zibe ntsha (cf. IsAm. 21:5)
IPasika emyoli kuye wonke umntu!
Ukuhlonipha abanye!
Lo ibinguMyalezo wePasika kaPope Francis izolo (ngeCawa yePasika), kanye emva kokuba edibene noSekela Mongameli wase-US uPence. Ukhumbuze abongameli baseMelika malunga nenkxalabo yakhe nge-US kwaye wakhankanya ngokuthe ngqo abafuduki.
Namhlanje, iUnited States of America idlulisa uvelwano olunzulu kubahlobo kunye namahlakani ethu eHoly See ngokusweleka koBungcwele bakhe uPope Francis.

“Akunakubakho uxolo ngaphandle kwenkululeko yonqulo, inkululeko yokucinga, inkululeko yokuthetha, nokuhlonela iimbono zabanye,” watsho lo myalezo.
