Ametamalaki ~ Kwaya ya Mt. JudeThaddeus Mbeya[Mp3 Review & Lyrics]
by FriendHoodie
The life of man - to know and love God
God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man, to make him share in his own blessed life. For this reason, at every time and in every place, God draws close to man:
He calls man to seek him, to know him, to love him with all his strength. He calls together all men, scattered and divided by sin, into the unity of his family, the Church. To accomplish this, when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son as Redeemer and Saviour.

Artist: Kwaya ya Mt. JudeThaddeus Mbeya
Song: Ametamalaki
In his Son and through him, he invites men to become, in the Holy
Spirit, his adopted children and thus heirs of his blessed life. So that this call should resound throughout the world, Christ sent
forth the apostles he had chosen, commissioning them to proclaim the
gospel.
He said to them: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am
with you always, to the close of the age."
Strengthened by this
mission, the apostles "went forth and preached everywhere, while the
Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that
attended it.
Those who are with God's help have welcomed Christ's call and freely
responded to it are urged on by the love of Christ to proclaim the Good
News everywhere in the world. This treasure, received from the
apostles, has been faithfully guarded by their successors.
All Christ's
faithful are called to hand it on from generation to generation, by
professing the faith, by living it in fraternal sharing, and by celebrating
it in liturgy and prayer.
Hope of the New Heaven and the New Earth
At the end of time, the Kingdom of God will come in its fullness.
After the universal judgment, the righteous will reign for ever with
Christ, glorified in body and soul. the universe itself will be renewed.
The Church . . . will receive her perfection only in the glory of heaven,
when will come the time of the renewal of all things. At that time,
together with the human race, the universe itself, which is so closely
related to man and which attains its destiny through him, will be
perfectly re-established in Christ
Sacred Scripture calls this mysterious renewal, which will
transform humanity and the world, new heavens and a new
earth. It will be the definitive realization of God's plan to bring
under a single head "all things in [Christ], things in heaven and things
on earth.
In this new universe, theFor man, this consummation will be the final realization of the
unity of the human race, which God willed from creation and of which
the pilgrim Church has been in the nature of sacrament.
Those
who are united with Christ will form the community of the redeemed, the holy city of God, the Bride, the wife of the Lamb. She will
not be wounded any longer by sin, stains, self-love, that destroy or
wound the earthly community. The beatific vision, in which God
opens himself in an inexhaustible way to the elect, will be the everflowing well-spring of happiness, peace, and mutual communion.
Heavenly Jerusalem, God will have his
dwelling among men. He will wipe away every tear from their
eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor
crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away.
For the cosmos, Revelation affirms the profound common
destiny of the material world and man. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons
of God . . . in hope because the creation itself will be set free from its
bondage to decay....
We know that the whole creation has been
groaning in travail together until now; and not only the creation, but
we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as
we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
The visible universe, then, is itself destined to be transformed, so
that the world itself, restored to its original state, facing no further
obstacles, should be at the service of the just, sharing their
glorification in the risen Jesus Christ.
We know neither the moment of the consummation of the earth
and of man, nor the way in which the universe will be transformed. the
form of this world, distorted by sin, is passing away, and we are taught
that God is preparing a new dwelling and a new earth in which righteousness dwells, in which happiness will fill and surpass all the
desires of peace arising in the hearts of men.
Far from diminishing our concern to develop this earth, the
expectancy of a new earth should spur us on, for it is here that the
body of a new human family grows, foreshadowing in some way the
age which is to come. That is why, although we must be careful to
distinguish earthly progress clearly from the increase of the kingdom of
Christ, such progress is of vital concern to the kingdom of God, insofar
as it can contribute to the better ordering of human society.
When we have spread on earth the fruits of our nature and our
enterprise...according to the command of the Lord and in his Spirit,
we will find them once again, cleansed this time from the stain of sin,
illuminated and transfigured, when Christ presents to his Father an
eternal and universal kingdom. God will then be "all in all" in
eternal life.
True and subsistent life consists in this: the Father, through the Son
and in the Holy Spirit, pouring out his heavenly gifts on all things
without exception. Thanks to his mercy, we too, men that we are, have
received the inalienable promise of eternal life.
Kiukweli kazi ya mungu I juu ya wote wamchao na kumwamini mungu awabariki na kuwatia nguvu kuieneza injili
