Namuhla, uPapa Francis ukhulule uMkhosi Wezwe Woxolo Wonyaka January 1, 2017, ebizwa ngokuthi "Ukungabi Nesizotha-Isitayela Sombusazwe Sokuthula." Lona ngumyalezo we-World Day of Peace we-Vatican, kodwa kuyisitatimende sokuqala sokungabi nampofu, ngokwesiko likaMahatma Gandhi noDkt Martin Luther King, Jr.-emlandweni .

Sidinga ukwenza "ukungabi nodlame okusebenzayo kube yindlela yethu yokuphila," kubhala uFrancis ekuqaleni, futhi uphakamisa ukuthi ukungabi nodlame kube yindlela yethu entsha yezepolitiki. "Ngicela uNkulunkulu asisize sonke sihlakulele ukungabi nodlame emicabangweni nasezimisweni zethu zomuntu siqu," kubhala uFrancis. “Kwangathi isisa nokungabi nodlame kungabusa indlela esiphatha ngayo thina ngabanye, emphakathini kanye nasempilweni yamazwe omhlaba. Lapho izisulu zodlame zikwazi ukumelana nesilingo sokuziphindisela, ziba abagqugquzeli abathembeke kakhulu bokwenza ukuthula okungenabudlova. Ezimweni zasendaweni ezijwayelekile kanye nasezingeni lomhlaba jikelele, kwangathi ukungabi nodlame kungaba uphawu lwezinqumo zethu, ubudlelwane bethu nezenzo zethu, nempilo yezombusazwe ngazo zonke izindlela. ”

Enkulumweni yakhe emlandweni, uPapa Francis ukhuluma ngobudlova bezwe, indlela kaJesu yokungabi nabuthakathi, kanye nokunye okungahle kwenzeke kokungabi nampofu namuhla. Isigijimi sakhe singumoya womoya omusha kithi sonke, futhi unikeza uhlaka lwethu sonke ukucabanga ngempilo yethu kanye nezwe lethu.

"Ubudlova Akuyona Impilo Yezwe Eliphukile"

"Namuhla, ngokudabukisayo, sizithola sisempini eyethusayo yempi yomhlaba," kubhala uFrancis. “Akulula ukwazi ukuthi ngabe umhlaba wethu manje unodlame oluncane kakhulu kunalolo olwalukhona, noma ukwazi ukuthi izindlela zokuxhumana zesimanje nokuhamba kakhulu kusenze sazi kangcono ngodlame, noma ngakolunye uhlangothi, saqiniswa ngokwengeziwe it. Kunoma ikuphi, siyazi ukuthi lolu dlame 'oluncane', lwezinhlobo ezahlukene namazinga, lubangela ukuhlupheka okukhulu: izimpi emazweni ahlukene nasemazwekazini; ubuphekula, ubugebengu obuhleliwe nezenzo zodlame ezingalindelekile; ukuhlukunyezwa okwenziwa ngabokufika kanye nezisulu zokushushumbiswa kwabantu; nokonakala kwemvelo. Kuholela kuphi lokhu? Ngabe udlame lungafinyelela noma yimuphi umgomo wenani elihlala njalo? Noma ingabe kumane kuholele ekuziphindiseleni nasemjikelezweni wezimpi ezibulalayo ezisiza 'abaphathi bezimpi' abambalwa kuphela? ”

UFrancis uyaqhubeka: “Ukulwa nodlame ngodlame kuholela ekufudukeni okuphoqelekile nasekuhluphekeni okukhulu, ngoba izinsizakusebenza eziningi ziphanjiselwa emabuthweni ezempi futhi zikude nezidingo zansuku zonke zabantu abasha, imindeni ebhekene nobunzima, asebekhulile, abagulayo kanye iningi labantu emhlabeni wethu. Okubi kakhulu, kungaholela ekufeni, ngokwenyama nangokomoya, kwabantu abaningi, uma kungenjalo bonke. ”

Ukuzikhandla Ukungabi Nesivikelo sikaJesu

UJesu wayephila futhi wafundisa ngokungabi nodlame, okuyinto uFrancis ayibiza ngokuthi “indlela enhle kakhulu.” UJesu “washumayeza uthando lukaNkulunkulu olungenamibandela, olwamukelayo futhi luthethelele. Wafundisa abafundi bakhe ukuthanda izitha zabo (cf. Mt 5:44) nokuguqula esinye isifuba (cf. Mt 5:39). Ngenkathi emisa ababemmangalela ukukhanda ngamatshe owesifazane obanjwe ephinga (jn 8: 1-11), kwathi ngobusuku bangaphambi kokufa kwakhe, watshela uPetru ukuthi abeke inkemba yakhe (cf. Mt 26:52), UJesu wakhomba indlela yokungabi nodlame. Wahamba leyo ndlela waze wayofika ekugcineni, esiphambanweni, lapho aba khona ukuthula kwethu futhi waqeda ubutha (cf. Efe 2: 14-16). Noma ngubani owamukela izindaba ezinhle zikaJesu uyakwazi ukwamukela udlame olungaphakathi futhi aphulukiswe ngumusa kaNkulunkulu, abe yithuluzi lokubuyisana. ”

UFrancis uyabhala: "Ukuba abalandeli bakaJesu beqiniso namuhla kuhlanganisa nokuvuma ukufundisa kwakhe mayelana nokungabi nabuthakathi." Ucaphuna uPapa Benedict owathi umyalo wokuthanda izitha zethu "yi-magna carta yobuKristu obungenasivikelo. Lokhu akubandakanyi ekunqobeni okubi ..., kodwa ekuphenduleni okubi ngokuhle futhi ngaleyo ndlela kuphule uchungechunge lokungabi nabulungisa. "

Ukungabi Nesihluku Kunamandla Kunokudlwengula 

"Umkhuba wokuthatha isinqumo futhi ongaguquguquki wokungabi nodlame uveze imiphumela emihle," kuchaza uFrancis. “Impumelelo kaMahatma Gandhi noKhan Abdul Ghaffar Khan ekukhululekeni kwe-India, nakuDkt Martin Luther King Jr ekulweni nokucwaswa ngokobuhlanga ayisoze yakhohlakala. Abesifazane ikakhulukazi bavame ukuba ngabaholi bokungabi nodlame, ngokwesibonelo, kwakunguLeymah Gbowee kanye nezinkulungwane zabesifazane baseLiberia, ababehlela ukukhuleka nokubhikisha okungenabudlova okwaholela ezingxoxweni ezisezingeni eliphakeme zokuthula zokuqeda impi yombango yesibili eLiberia. ISonto libambe iqhaza kumasu okwakha ukuthula angenabudlova emazweni amaningi, libandakanya namaqembu anobudlova emizameni yokwakha ukuthula okulungile nokuhlala njalo. Masingalokothi sikhathale ukuphinda sithi: 'Igama likaNkulunkulu alinakusetshenziselwa ukuthethelela udlame. Ukuthula kukodwa kungcwele. Ukuthula kukodwa kungcwele, hhayi impi! '

"Uma udlame lusuka enhliziyweni yomuntu, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuthi kwenziwe ubudlova emindenini," kubhala uFrancis. “Ngincenga ukuphuthuma okulinganayo ngokuphela kodlame lwasekhaya nokuhlukunyezwa kwabesifazane nezingane. Ipolitiki yokungalwi kufanele iqale ekhaya bese isakazeka kuwo wonke umndeni wesintu. ”

Uthi uFrancis uyaqhubeka wathi: "Ukuziphatha komphakathi nokuthula phakathi kwabantu ngabanye naphakathi kwabantu akukwazi ukusekelwe enkulumweni yokwesaba, ubudlova nokuzibophezela, kodwa ngokuzibophezela, inhlonipho nokukhulumisana okuqotho," kusho uFrancis. "Ngiyanxusa ukungenwa kwezikhali kanye nokuvinjelwa nokuqedwa kwezikhali zenuzi: ukuvinjelwa kwezikhali zenuzi kanye nokusongela ukuthi ukubhujiswa okuqinisekisiwe kungenakukwazi ukubeka imithethonqubo enjalo."

I-Vatican Conference on Nonviolence

Ngomhlaka-Ephreli odlule kithi emhlabeni wonke usuhlangana izinsuku ezintathu eVatican ukuze sixoxisane noJesu nokungabi nabuthakathi neziphathimandla zaseVatican, futhi sibuze uPapa ukuba abhale incyclical entsha ekungabikho kobudlova. Imihlangano yethu yayinempilo kakhulu futhi eyakhayo. Ngesikhathi sisekhona, uKardinal Turkson, oyinhloko yehhovisi lePontifical of Justice and Peace, wangicela ukuba ngibhale uhlelo lwe-2017 World Peace of Peace on nonviolence for Pope Francis. Ngathumela ku-draft, njengabangane bami uKen Butigan, Marie Dennis kanye nobuholi bePax Christi International. Siyajabula ukubona amaphuzu ethu amakhulu, ngisho nolunye ulimi lwethu oluqondile, emlayezo wanamuhla.

Ngeviki elilandelayo, sibuyela emuva eRoma ukuze sithole imihlangano eminingi ngenhloso yokuba ne-encyclical ekungabikho kwempi. Ngeke sazi ukuthi uPapa Francis ngokwakhe uzothola yini kuze kube usuku lomhlangano wethu wokuqala, kodwa sithemba ukuthi kuzokwenzeka. Sizokhuthaza iVatican ukuba inqabe inkolelo nje yempi kanye kuphela, yamukele ngokugcwele indlela kaJesu yokungabi nabuthakathi, futhi yenze isibopho sokungabi nesikhuthazo esivumelekile kulo lonke iSonto Lombuso.

Isimemo sikaPapa Francis sokungenzi lutho

"Ukwakhiwa kokuthula ngokusebenzisa ukungabi nodlame okusebenzayo kuyindlela ephelele futhi edingekayo emizamweni eqhubekayo yeSonto yokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla ngokusebenzisa izimiso zokuziphatha," kuphetha uFrancis. “NoJesu uqobo unikeza 'incwadi' yale ndlela yokwenza ukuthula eNtshumayelweni Yasentabeni. Ama-Beatitudes ayisishiyagalombili (cf. Mt 5: 3-10) anikeza isithombe somuntu esingamchaza njengobusisiwe, omuhle futhi oyiqiniso. Babusisiwe abamnene, uJesu usitshela, abanesihe nabenza ukuthula, labo abahlanzekile enhliziyweni, nalabo abalambele futhi bomele ubulungiswa. Lolu futhi luhlelo futhi luyinselelo kubaholi bezepolitiki nabezenkolo, izinhloko zezikhungo zamazwe omhlaba, nabaphathi bezebhizinisi nabezindaba: ukusebenzisa ama-Beatitudes ekusebenziseni izibopho zabo. Kuyinselelo yokwakha umphakathi, imiphakathi kanye namabhizinisi ngokwenza njengabenzi bokuthula. Kungukukhombisa isihe ngokwenqaba ukulahla abantu, ukulimaza imvelo, noma ukufuna ukuwina nganoma iyiphi inkokhelo. Ukwenza kanjalo kudinga 'ukuzimisela ukubhekana ngqo nezingxabano, ukuyixazulula nokwenza kube isixhumanisi kunqubo entsha.' Ukwenza ngale ndlela kusho ukukhetha ubumbano njengendlela yokwenza umlando nokwakha ubungani emphakathini. ”

Amazwi akhe okuphetha kufanele abe ngumthombo wenduduzo kanye nenselelo kithi ezinsukwini ezizayo:

Ukungabi nodlame okusebenzayo kuyindlela yokubonisa ukuthi ubunye bunamandla amakhulu futhi bunezithelo ngaphezu kwengxabano. Konke emhlabeni kuxhumene. Umehluko ungadala ukungqubuzana, kepha ake sibhekane nakho ngokwakhayo nangaphandle kodlame.

Ngithembisa usizo lweSonto yonke imizamo yokwakha ukuthula ngokusebenzisa ukungabi naluvivinyo okusebenzayo nokudala. Zonke izimpendulo ezinjalo, nakuba zizithobekile, zisiza ekwakheni umhlaba ngaphandle kobudlova, isinyathelo sokuqala esibhekele ubulungiswa nokuthula. Ku-2017, kwangathi singazinikezela ngomthandazo futhi sizimisele ngokuqeda ubudlova ezivela ezinhliziyweni zethu, ngamazwi nezenzo zethu, futhi sibe ngabantu abangenasivikelo futhi sakha imiphakathi engeyona impi eyanakekela ikhaya lethu elivamile.

Njengoba silungiselela iminyaka yokuphikisa, ngithemba ukuthi singakhuthazeka ekubizweni kukaPapa kaFacebook okungahambi kahle, ukusiza ukusabalalisa umlayezo wakhe, nokwenza ingxenye yethu ukuba sibe ngabantu abangenasidingo, ukwakha ukunyakaza okukhulu komhlaba wonke wokungabi nabuthakathi, nokusekela Umbono wezwe elisha lokungabi nabuthakathi.
