Thoughts to the first Sunday of Advent
Our world is full of small and large armed conflicts that cost thousands of people their lives or their physical and mental integrity. It is simply inconceivable that we humans learn nothing from our history.
Katika uhusiano na hii, ungeweza kuzingatia mstari kutoka Mathayo 5,39: "Wakati mtu akikupiga kwenye shavu la kuume, kugeuka nyingine moja na yeye pia. "hekima, ambayo inakera nasi mara moja. Nini nina kuteseka madhara mara mbili na kuwa kudhalilishwa kupata amani? – Si chache kuuliza jambo lililo jema kwa. Ni hakuna tofauti kuliko hekima Wagiriki wa kale walikuwa tayari kutambuliwa, yaani ile ya msamaha. There it was prescribed by law and executed in all its consequences. Hiyo ina maana gani?
Nini kilichotokea haiwezi kutenguliwa, na sisi wote tunajua hii na uzoefu mara nyingi chungus. wito na kutaka kulipiza kisasi, retribution, na (zinatakiwa) haki ni imara. Lakini jinsi gani moja kufanikiwa kuponyoka ond hii ya kuteswa, mauaji, manslaughter, and ongoing mutual violence? It is a dilemma that has plagued human history for thousands of years and we see the best example of this in the events in the Middle East. War and suffering only lead to new war and suffering.
Katika Ugiriki ya kale, ilikuwa alitambua kuwa mpya, untouched page must be opened in the Book of Life. Hata hivyo, haya yanaweza kufanyika kama zamani kila “matusi na kuwaumiza” do not continue to burden. Kwa hiyo “ujumla kusahau” – msamaha, mara kwa mujibu wa sheria. ukiukaji au kupuuza sheria hii ilitolewa chini ya adhabu ya kifo au sawa kutengwa kutoka jamii (Outlaw = mara kushoto na kujitunza wenyewe), juu cha adhabu zote. Hivyo, msamaha inaweza kuonekana kama aina ya kusahau masharti. Hii inahitaji ujasiri mkubwa kutoka kwa watu katika suala la kawaida na kuvumiliana. Hii ni mara nyingi si rahisi. Lakini tu kwa maumivu hii mwanzo mpya succeed, na mpya, common life possible.
imani ya Kikristo anaelewa yenyewe kama dini ya amani. Lakini nini utata tunaona na kusoma katika habari za kila siku?
Leo kusherehekea Jumapili ya kwanza ya ujio. Hii lazima kukumbuka Kuingia kwa Yesu Yerusalemu. (Luke 21,25-28.34-36). Ripoti hii ya kuingia hii kwa shangwe ni mpango tofauti. Lakini tofauti hizi kutuonyesha mifano kwa matumizi ya maisha ya mtu mwenyewe. Ni hadithi ya Mfalme ajaye kama mtumishi cha punda, si katika mavazi ya kifalme, lakini katika nguo ya maskini na wanyenyekevu. Jesus Christ does not come as an earthly king to conquer by force but with love, neema, mercy, and sacrifice for his people. ufalme wake hapa duniani hana majeshi, utajiri, au mapambo, lakini unyenyekevu na utumishi. Yeye hana kushinda mataifa au masoko; yeye hataki kutawala mtu yeyote. Hapana, yeye inakaribisha na anaongea na mioyo ya watu, yake Ujumbe ni ule wa amani.
Kila amani siku zote huanza kwa kiwango kidogo, katika sisi wenyewe, licha ya hali ya nje inaweza kuwa na. Kila amani huanza kuisha ambapo mipaka baina yangu na jirani yangu ni shilingi. Kama kuna mfarakano ndani ya sisi wenyewe, kwa kawaida huonyesha nje kwa maneno na matendo yetu. Mapema au baadaye, hii ndani “vita” inaongoza kwa ugomvi wa nje. That’s why it’s so important to be at peace with yourself, “to function smoothly”. I haiwezi kuomba kitu kutoka kwa watu wengine kwa sababu mimi si tayari kutoa kwa mamlaka yangu.
hatua muhimu kwa amani ya ndani ni msamaha. Tu kwa kuwasamehe wengine na mwenyewe inaweza hisia hasi kuwa na kushinda. Hii si kusema vitendo au matukio walikuwa alright. Wakati mwingine tu kusahau maagizo husaidia hapa. Basi inakuwa wazi, mambo Yesu maana kwa, “Mtu akikupiga kofi shavu la kulia, kugeuka nyingine moja na yeye pia.” Hii haiwezi kufanya kazi bila maumivu. Ni ngumu mapambano, lakini ni kazi kama pande zote mbili na nia ya kweli ndani yake. Amani inaanza katika hatua ndogo na ishara. Mkuu uelewa na ubunifu ni zinahitajika kutatua migogoro, pia nyingine, mbinu isiyo na vurugu. Ni mchakato mrefu kujifunza na inahitaji ukomavu hisia. Hebu kuweka mbali pamoja katika barabara ya amani ya kawaida siku ya Jumapili hii ya kwanza ya ujio …
Kwa maana hii:
shalom aleikhem - salt-ahis'Alaykum -
amani iwe juu yako -
Amani iwe nanyi –
Amani na wewe –
Amani iwe nanyi –
Amani kwenu –
Amani iwe nanyi ...!

There are many different approaches to Salvatorian Universality. While the sisters and brothers of the religious communities see in it more the all-embracing love of God that is given to every human being without exception, we Lay Salvatorians seek a more practical application of it. For it is a truly universal instrument to give and make our neighbor experience the love of God.
As mentioned before, one of our most important guiding principles is the words of Blessed Francis Jordan: "Maadamu kuna mtu mmoja duniani ambaye hamjui Mungu na hampendi Mungu kuliko vitu vyote, usithubutu kujiruhusu kupumzika kwa muda.” Endelea kusoma
Even if there are local Salvatorian communities in several countries of the world, we must now find a common path to the future. We are now a Private Association of the Faithful dotted with juridical personality recognized by the dicastery of laity, familia, and life at the Vatican. This indicates leaving some fond and cherished practices and taking over and becoming familiar with some new ones. In particular, we need to pay more attention to becoming a true community.
In a true community, it’s not enough to meet on a superficial conversational level, make a little more than small talk, and leave out all the areas that really get to the heart of a person and bring us closer together. True communities have passed 4 phases: Endelea kusoma
Tangu Wasalvatoriani wa Lay walianza kuendeleza katika miaka ya 70 na 80 ya karne iliyopita, sura zao zimebadilika sana. Wakati Wasalvatoriani wa kwanza wa Walei walikuwa walioacha kutoka katika jumuiya mbili za kidini za Kisalvatoriani, watu wa kawaida wa kweli wamezidi kujenga jamii za sasa. Na kwa hilo, roho au mtazamo tofauti ulijitokeza. Sawa katika maudhui ya kiroho lakini inaonyeshwa tofauti na maisha.
Katika zifuatazo nataka kuchora taswira ya Wasalvatoriani Walei leo sasa na jinsi maendeleo yanavyoweza kwenda mbele katika siku zijazo.
Ulimwengu tunaoishi una sura nyingi tofauti na pamoja na maswala na changamoto nyingi tofauti za maisha. Kuishi imani yetu ya Kikatoliki ya Kikristo si jambo rahisi katika maeneo mengi na inazidi kuwa vigumu hata katika maeneo yale ambayo hapo awali ilichukuliwa kuwa ya kimapokeo.. Sababu za hili ni tofauti na zinaendana sana na mabadiliko ya maadili na mitazamo yetu ya jamii. Endelea kusoma
In today’s increasingly globalized world, where challenges must be addressed locally and globally at the same time, basic and comprehensive education is inevitable. Even if some people will not like going back to school, our world and life today afford lifelong learning everywhere. It is a slogan but if you think about it more closely at all times it was necessary to face new challenges and experiences and analyze them. Without doing so nobody would have been able to survive at any time. Today of course in a globalized world the amount of information is enormous and increasing. But to be interested in multifaceted topics can only marginally be compared with going to school again. Endelea kusoma
