Izinhlangano zobuKristu kanye nemiphakathi inokuthile ekushoyo ngekusasa laseYurophu, futhi kabanzi mayelana nokuthula emhlabeni. E-Timisoara, e-Romania, emhlanganweni waminyaka yonke wenethiwekhi ethi "Ndawonye eYurophu" (kusukela ku-16 kuya ku-19 November), sibone izibonelo eziningi zokuzibophezela eziqhutshwa "isibindi sethemba".
Kodwa kunzima ukukhuluma ngethemba namuhla lapho kunezimpi nobudlova obungaka. Kuze kube manje, abantu abayizigidi ezingu-114 basala dengwane, futhi izimpi ziyimbangela eyinhloko.
“Konke lokhu kungabhebhethekisa ukuphelelwa ithemba. Kodwa silapha namuhla ngoba sikholelwa ukuthi uJesu Kristu usenqobe yonke into,” kusho uMargaret Karram, uMongameli weFocolare Movement.
Ingxoxo, ubuso bethemba
Kulo mongo, “ingxoxo” ibonakala iyigama elingenakwenzeka ukuphinyiswa, kodwa iwubuso obusebenza kahle kakhulu bethemba. Ithi ngifuna ukusondela, ukunothiswa ukwehlukahlukana, ngidlulele ngale kokwesaba. UNkulunkulu usibizela ukuthi sibeke ubuzalwane enhliziyweni. Sidinga imiphakathi ebumbene efakaza ngeVangeli.
Ngo-2007, uChiara Lubich wathi yonke inhlangano iyimpendulo evela kuMoya oNgcwele ngobusuku obuhlangene iYurophu edlula kubo. Bakha amanethiwekhi obuzalwane. M. Karram uqinisekile ukuthi ubuhlakani boMoya buzosivulela izindlela ezintsha.
“UNkulunkulu usibizela ukuthi sinikeze izimpawu zenhlanganyelo ezibonakalayo ezinomsuka wazo ezulwini, kodwa okumele zibonakale lapha emhlabeni. Ukuze senze lokhu, sidinga ukuzijwayeza inkhulumomphendvulwano, sigqamisa izici ezinhle kanye nezithakazelo eziphilisa imiphakathi eyahlukene. Iphupho lokuphilisana elihlanganisa ukuhlukahluka alikwazi ukudluliselwa ezikhungweni zodwa,” usho kanje.
Ephetha ngocingo ukuthi aqhubeke alalele futhi ehle emsebenzini. Umhlaba wonke, hhayi iYurophu kuphela, uyalidinga leli themba.
Ubunye, indlela yesiphambano
UCiprian Vasile Olinici, uNobhala Wombuso Wezamasiko Nezindaba Zenkolo eRomania, wayibekela eceleni inkulumo yakhe ukuze ithuthuke ngemva kwenkulumo kaM. Karram. Uyaqiniseka ukuthi ukunyakaza okuhlangene "Kuhlangene eYurophu" kwenza umnikelo obalulekile.
Isidlo sabo sibalulekile, ngoba siyimpendulo yomthandazo kaKristu othi “Ukuze bonke babe munye”! Lomthandazo wenziwa endleleni eya esiphambanweni. Ngakho ubunye abuyona indlela elula. Yilokho futhi iYurophu eye yabhekana nayo.
“Ngesikhathi uNkulunkulu edala abantu, wadala insimu, insimu. Ingqikithi lapho kukhona ubudlelwano. Ngakho-ke ubumbano alukona ngokuyinhloko uhlelo lwezindinganiso, kodwa ubuhlobo phakathi kwabantu,” usho kanje.
Izindinganiso ezimbili zibalulekile kuye: ukholo kuJesu Kristu, njengoba kuhlongozwa emiBhalweni futhi kuchazwa yiMikhandlu, kanye nempendulo yombuzo othi “ngubani umfowethu”? Uma iYurophu ifuna amafutha obumbano ngaphandle kukaKristu, indima yethu ukuyikhumbuza ngomlando wayo, okuyikusasa layo.
Isibindi sokufakaza
Owayengundunankulu waseSlovakia, ilungu lomphakathi onothando kanye "ne-European Communities Network", u-Eduard Heger uyaqiniseka ngomthelela wemiphakathi emphakathini. Baletha ithemba futhi bazinikele ekubuyisaneni. Ngokwesibonelo, eSlovakia babengabokuqala ukusiza ababaleki abavela e-Ukraine.
Ngesikhathi lapho inani lamaKristu lincipha futhi amaBandla entula umthelela, u-E. Heger wakhuthaza umhlangano ukuba ungayeki: “Sizwile lapha ukuthi konke kuyenzeka kwabakholwayo. UJesu usithumile ukuba sihlanganyele iVangeli. Kwangathi angasinika isibindi, singagcini nje ngokuphila ngokuthandana, kodwa futhi sikumemezele, ukuze kube nokubuyisana”.
Uphethe ngokunxusa okujulile ukuba afakaze kosopolitiki: “Ngicela uxhumane nosopolitiki, noma bengenalo ukholo - nami ngangingakholelwa kuNkulunkulu. Kqokani emnyango wabo izikhathi ezingama-77 kasikhombisa kuze kuvuleke”!
Ubunye ngokuhlukahlukana
U-Ilona Toth waseHungary ufunde ngokuzwana ezinhlobonhlobo ngokudlala ku-orchestra. Wayengazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzosebenzisa lesi senzakalo ukuze aphile ngobunye ngokuhlukahluka njengengxenye ye-Together for Europe. Uyabuza: “Yini esingayenza ukuze senze ubunye buvuleleke kakhudlwana futhi bube namandla, ukuphulukisa amanxeba ethu omlando? Sisekuqaleni kuphela eMpumalanga Yurophu. Ukuhlanganyela phakathi kokunyakaza kwe-“Together for Europe” kungifundisa ubuciko bokuphila ndawonye”.
Ekupheleni kwalezi zinsuku ezinothile, imicabango emibili iphilisa uGerhard Pross, umongameli we-Together for Europe:
“Simi phakathi kokuwohloka kwethu: Ekwaphukeni kwethu, sibheka kuJesu obethelwe esiphambanweni, owabuyisana nezwe ngokungena kulo. Ukubuyisana kusivulela ithuba lokuphila nekusasa. Kodwa akulula futhi kuyasibiza, ngoba kusho ukuphenduka kanye nentethelelo okufanele inikezwe noma icele.
"Ukuxhuma imililo yokuvuselela eYurophu": Ayoba yini amandla esikhathi esizayo? Amandla ezindlu ezinamaphaneli elanga axhumene. Sidinga abakhiqizi abakhulu bamandla, kodwa sidinga nabancane. Okufanayo kuya emiphakathini ehlanganayo. Ngokubambisana eYurophu sisebenzela ukuthuthukisa le nethiwekhi yamandla omoya.
Imbewu yesinaphi!
Ngenhliziyo egcwele injabulo, uJosef-Csaba Pál, umbhishobhi wamaKatolika waseTimisoara, uyaqiniseka ukuthi uNkulunkulu usebenze phakathi kwethu nakithi phakathi nalezi zinsuku.
Kuye, imiphakathi ifakazela iqiniso lokuthi ubudlelwano buyisisekelo sobumbano. Kodwa ubunye abufinyelelwa ngosuku; kufanele siphinde siqale ukusebenza ngakho nsuku zonke. “Sinikezwe amandla okuqhubekela phambili. KuNkulunkulu zonke izinto zingenzeka: masimcele ngokungaphezi ukuthi asiphe isibindi sokusebenzela ubunye”.
Elandela ezinyathelweni zomphostoli uPawulu, usikhumbuza ukuthi uma sihlwanyela noma sitshala, nguNkulunkulu okhulisayo. Kufanele senze ingxenye yethu, kodwa akufanele sikhathazeke ngokukhula. Lokho kuncike kuNkulunkulu.
“Uma sibona into enhle ithuthuka komunye umphakathi, kufanele siyibungaze, sikhuthaze abahle, ikakhulukazi abasha. Umbuso kaNkulunkulu ufana nembewu yesinaphi… Ithemba lami lelo. Kwangathi uMoya oNgcwele ungakusiza ukuba ukhule!”
