Ubhapathizo umcimbi wenkolo nowomndeni ophawula ukuqala kwengane enkolweni yamaKatolika. Yiziphi izinyathelo okufanele uzithathe ukuze ubhapathize ingane yakho? Ungayilungiselela kanjani? Uhamba kanjani umcimbi? Izimpendulo zayo yonke imibuzo yakho ngokubhapathizwa ngokwenkolo.

Igama elithi "ubhapathizo" livela esiGrekini bhabhadisa okusho ukuthi “ukutshuza, ukucwilisa”. Ungu "isakramente kusukela ekuzalweni kuye empilweni yobuKristu: okumakwe ngophawu lwesiphambano, ukucwiliswa emanzini, osanda kubhapathizwa uzalwa kabusha empilweni entsha”, Kuchaza iSonto LamaKatolika eFrance ngo iwebhusayithi. KumaKhatholika, ukubhabhadiswa kukhomba ukungena kwengane eSontweni kanye nokuqala kwemfundo yobuKrestu abazinikele kuyo. 

Ukubhapathizwa ngokwenkolo

Enkolweni yamaKhatholika, ukubhabhadiswa kungokwokuqala kwamasakramente ayisikhombisa. Kwandulela uMthendeleko (isidlo), isiqinisekiso, umshado, ukubuyisana, ukugcotshwa (ukuba ngumfundisi), nokugcotshwa kwabagulayo.

Ngokuvamile kubhapathizwa ngeSonto ekuseni ngemva kwemisa.

Ngaphambi kokusetha usuku lokubhabhadiswa futhi uqale amalungiselelo omkhosi, kufanele uqale uthinte isifunda esiseduzane nawe. Okuhle kakhulu ukukwenza ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ngaphambi kosuku olufunayo ukusetha umcimbi. 

Lapho isonto selitholakele, uzocelwa ukuthi uqhubeke nesicelo sokubhapathizwa bese ugcwalisa ifomu lokubhalisa.

Ukubhabhadiswa akukhona okwenzelwe izingane nezingane kuphela: kungenzeka ukuthi ubhapathizwe kunoma yimuphi unyaka. Kodwa-ke, ukulungiswa kuhlukile ngokuya ngeminyaka yomuntu. 

Eyengane engaphansi kweminyaka emibili

Uma ingane yakho ingaphansi kweminyaka emibili ubudala, kuzodingeka ukuthi uye emhlanganweni owodwa noma eminingi (kuya ngamapherishi). Ngale mihlangano, nizoxoxa ngesicelo nencazelo yokubhabhadiswa, futhi nizoxoxa ngokulungiswa komkhosi (ukukhetha imibhalo okufanele ifundwe ngokwesibonelo). Umpristi nabantu abavamile bazokuphelezela uma wenza lokhu. 

Enganeni eneminyaka ephakathi kwemibili nesikhombisa

Uma ingane yakho iphakathi kweminyaka emibili nesikhombisa ubudala, kuzodingeka ukuthi ubambe iqhaza ekulungiseleleni nengane yakho. Isikhathi nobufundisi buzoguqulelwa kubudala bengane. Ngokuyinhloko, ingane ichazwa isiko lokubhapathizwa, kodwa futhi nokuthi kungani wonke umndeni wabo umenyiwe kulo mcimbi. Ngalesi sikhathi sokulungiselela, kuhlelwa imihlangano yokuphaphama okholweni nabanye abazali abafisa ukubhapathiza ingane yabo. 

Okomuntu ongaphezulu kweminyaka eyisikhombisa

Uma ingane yakho ingaphezu kweminyaka eyisikhombisa ubudala, kuthatha isikhashana ukuyilungiselela. Kwenziwa maqondana nekhathekisisi (zonke izenzo ezihlose ukwenza izingane, abantu abasha kanye nabantu abadala zikhule empilweni yobuKristu). 

Isimo esibalulekile sokubhapathizwa ukuzibophezela kwabazali ekunikezeni ingane yabo imfundo yobuKristu (ngokumthumela ekhathekizimu emva kwalokho). Ngakho-ke, empeleni, abazali abangabhapathiziwe bangabhapathiza ingane yabo. Kusasho ukuthi abazali kumele babe ngamakholwa. Isifunda sidinga nokuthi okungenani kubhapathizwe noyedwa unkulunkulukazi waso nonkulunkulukazi waso. 

Kukhona nezimo zomthetho zokuthi ingane ibhabhadiswe. Ngakho-ke, ubhapathizo lungenzeka uma nje bobabili abazali bevuma. Uma omunye wabazali ababili ephikisana nokubhapathizwa, akunakubungazwa.

Ingane ingaba no-godfather noma unkulunkulukazi noma bobabili. Bobabili noma okungenani oyedwa kulaba ababili kumele abe ngumKatolika. "Kumele ngabe bathole amasakramente okuqala kobuKristu (ubhapathizo, isiqinisekiso, uMthendeleko) ”, ake iSonto LamaKatolika lazi eFrance. 

Laba bantu, ngaphandle kwabazali bababhapathiziwe, kumele babe neminyaka engaphezu kwengu-16 ubudala. Ukukhethwa kuka-godfather no-godmother kuvame ukuba nzima kepha kubalulekile: indima yabo ukuhamba nengane endleleni yokholo, kukho konke ukuphila kwayo. Bazomeseka ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi sokulungiselela kanye nokugubha amasakramente (uMthendeleko nokuqinisekiswa). 

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, unkulunkulukazi nonkulunkulukazi abanaso isimo esisemthethweni uma kwenzeka kushona abazali.

Ukubhabhadiswa kwenzeka ngokwamasiko athile. Amaphuzu avelele kulo mcimbi yilawa:

• ukuthela kathathu (ngesimo sesiphambano) samanzi angcwele ebunzini lengane ngumpristi. Ngesikhathi esifanayo lapho enza lesi senzo, umpristi ubiza ifomula “Ngiyakubhaphathiza egameni likaYise neleNdodana nelikaMoya oNgcwele”. Ngemuva kwalokho, ugcoba (ahlikihle isiphongo) ingane nge-Holy Chrism (ingxube yamafutha emifino yemvelo namakha), akhanyise ikhandlela bese elinika i-godfather noma i-godmother. Leli khandlela liwuphawu lokholo nokukhanya komKrestu impilo yakhe yonke. 
  
• ukusayinwa kwerejista okwenza ubhapathizo lwenkolo lube semthethweni ngokwenziwa ngabazali, unkulunkulu nobaba. 

Imisa lokubhabhadisa lingahlanganiswa, okusho ukuthi izingane eziningana zibhapathizwa phakathi nomkhosi (ngayinye ibusiswe ngumpristi). 

Ekupheleni komkhosi, umpristi unikeza abazali isitifiketi sokubhapathizwa, idokhumenti edingekayo ekubhaliseni kwengane ikhathekizimu, isidlo sokuqala, isiqinisekiso, umshado noma ukuba ngunkulunkulu noma unkulunkulukazi ozoza. 

Umgubho uvame ukuqhubeka ngephathi nomndeni nabangane lapho ingane ithola izipho eziningi.
