CHIKUMBUTSO CHA ST. PIO WA PIETRELCIAN
ONE mwa zinthu zomvetsa chisoni kwambiri mu Tchalitchi chamakono cha Katolika, makamaka Kumadzulo, ndi kutaya kupembedza. Zikuwoneka lero ngati kuti kuimba (mtundu umodzi wamatamando) mu Tchalitchi ndizosankha, osati gawo limodzi la pemphero lachikumbutso.
Pamene Ambuye adatsanulira Mzimu Wake Woyera pa Mpingo wa Katolika kumapeto kwa zaka makumi asanu ndi limodzi mu zomwe zidadziwika kuti "kukonzanso kwachikoka", kupembedza ndi kutamanda Mulungu kunaphulika! Ndidawona kwa zaka makumi angapo momwe miyoyo yambiri idasinthidwa pomwe idadutsa malo awo abwino ndikuyamba kupembedza Mulungu kuchokera pansi pamtima (ndigawana umboni wanga pansipa). Ndidawonekeranso kuchiritsidwa kwakuthupi ndikungoyamika!
Kutamanda kapena kudalitsa kapena kupembedza Mulungu si "Pentekosti" kapena "Chokokomeza". Ndikofunikira ku maziko a munthu; ndicho chidzalo cha kukhalako kwake:
Madalitso imafotokoza kayendedwe ka pemphero lachikhristu: ndiko kukumana pakati pa Mulungu ndi anthu… chifukwa Mulungu amadalitsa, mtima wa munthu ungathenso kudalitsa Iye amene ali gwero la madalitso onse… pomupembedza ndiye lingaliro loyamba la munthu kuvomereza kuti ndi cholengedwa pamaso pa Mlengi wake. -Katekisimu wa Mpingo wa Katolika (CCC), 2626; 2628
Nayi chinsinsi cha chifukwa chake kutamanda Mulungu kumadalitsa ndikuchiritsa ndi kumasula mtima wa munthu: ndi zochitika zaumulungu zomwe timapereka matamando athu kwa Mulungu, ndipo Mulungu amatipatsa ife eni ake.
… Ndinu woyera, wokhala pampando wachifumu pa matamando a Israeli (Salimo 22: 3, RSV)
Mabaibulo ena amati:
Mulungu amakhala m'matamando a anthu ake (Masalmo 22: 3)
Tikamayamika Mulungu, amabwera kwa ife, nakhazika mitima yathu pansi, ndikukhala momwemo. Kodi Yesu sanalonjeze kuti izi zidzachitika?
Ngati munthu andikonda Ine, adzasunga mawu anga, ndipo Atate wanga adzamkonda, ndipo tidzabwera kwa iye, ndipo tidzayesa kwa iye mokhalamo. (John 14: 23)
Kutamanda Mulungu ndiko kumukonda Iye, chifukwa kuyamika ndiko kuzindikira kwa ubwino wa Mulungu ndipo lake chikondi. Mulungu amabwera kwa ife, ndipo ifenso timalowa pamaso pake:
Lowani kuzipata zake ndi chiyamiko, ndi kumabwalo ake ndi chilemekezo. (Salmo 100: 4)
Pamaso pa Mulungu, zoyipa zimathawa, zozizwitsa zimamasulidwa, ndikusintha kumachitika. Ndidawona ndikudziwona izi ndekha, komanso m'malo opembedzera. Tsopano, ndikukulemberani nkhani yankhondo yauzimu. Mverani zomwe zimachitika ku mphamvu zamdima pomwe timayamba kutamanda:
Okhulupirika akondwere mu ulemerero; mulole matamando apamwamba a Mulungu akhale pakhosi pawo, ndi malupanga akuthwa konsekonse m'manja mwawo, kuti abwezerere amitundu ndi kulanga anthu, kuti amange mafumu awo ndi maunyolo ndi olemekezeka awo ndi maunyolo achitsulo, kuti awachite pa iwo chiweruzo chinalembedwa! Uwu ndi ulemerero kwa okhulupirika ake onse. Ambuye alemekezeke! (Masalimo 149: 5-9)
Monga Paulo akukumbutsira Mpingo wa Chipangano Chatsopano, nkhondo yawo siyinso ndi mnofu ndi magazi koma ndi:
… Maulamuliro, ndi mphamvu, ndi olamulira adziko lapansi amdima uno, ndi mizimu yoyipa kumwamba. (Aefeso 6:12))
Ndi matamando athu, makamaka tikamaimba kapena kutchula zoonadi za Mulungu zochokera mu Mawu a Mulungu (cf. Aef 5:19) omwe amakhala ngati lupanga lakuthwa konsekonse, omanga maulamuliro ndi mphamvu ndi maunyolo aumulungu ndikuweruza angelo ogwawo! Kodi ichi chimagwira ntchito bwanji?
… Pemphero lathu kukwera mu Mzimu Woyera kudzera mwa Khristu kupita kwa Atate - timamudalitsa chifukwa chotidalitsa ife; kumapempha chisomo cha Mzimu Woyera kuti amatsika kudzera mwa Khristu kuchokera kwa Atate amatidalitsa. -CCC, 2627
Khristu Mkhalapakati wathu akugwira ntchito kudzera mwa ife, amamanga adani athu auzimu mu mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera. Kutamandidwa ndi njira yathu yochita nawo ntchito yopulumutsa ya Khristu monga Thupi Lake. Matamando ali chikhulupiriro chikuchita, ndipo "chikhulupiriro ndicho chiyamiko chokha" (CCC 2642).
… Mugawana nawo chidzalo ichi mwa iye, amene ali mutu wa ukulu uliwonse ndi mphamvu. (Akol. 2: 9)
Kuthokoza kwa ziwalo za Thupi kumachita nawo mutu wawo. -CCC 2637
Pomaliza, matamando ndi malingaliro a mwana wa Mulungu, malingaliro omwe popanda ife sitingalandire ufumu wakumwamba (Mat 18: 3). Mu Chipangano Chakale, mawu oti "kuyamika" ndi "zikomo" nthawi zambiri amakhala osinthana. Mawu oti "zikomo" amachokera ku Chiheberi yadah lomwe limatanthawuza kuyamika, komanso anayankha lomwe limatanthauza kupembedza. Mawu onsewa amatanthauzanso "kutambasula kapena kutulutsa manja". Chifukwa chake, mu Mass panthawi ya Pemphero la Ukaristia (mawuwa Ukaristia limatanthauza "kuthokoza"), wansembe amatambasula manja ake mothokoza ndikuthokoza.
Ndi zabwino, ndipo nthawi zina ngakhale kupembedza Mulungu ndi thupi lathu lonse. Kugwiritsa ntchito thupi lathu kungakhale chizindikiro ndi chikhulupiriro chathu; zimatithandiza kumasula chikhulupiriro chathu:
Ndife thupi ndi mzimu, ndipo timawona kufunikira kotanthauzira malingaliro athu kunja. Tiyenera kupemphera ndi moyo wathu wonse kupereka mphamvu zonse zotheka kuchonderera kwathu.-CCC 2702
Koma chinthu chofunikira kwambiri ndi kaimidwe ka mtima. Kukhala mwana kumatanthauza kudalira kwathunthu Mulungu lililonse momwe zinthu ziliri, ngakhale mabanja athu kapena dziko lapansi likugwa.
Nthawi zonse yamikani chifukwa ichi ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu kwa inu mwa Khristu Yesu. (1 Ates. 5: 18)
Sizitsutsana kutamanda Mulungu m'masautso. M'malo mwake, ndi mtundu wamatamando omwe amabweretsa madalitso a Mulungu ndi kupezeka pakati pathu kuti Iye akhale Mbuye wazinthu zonse. Kunena kuti, “Ambuye, Inu ndinu Mulungu, ndipo mwalola ngakhale izi kuti zindichitikire. Yesu, ndimadalira inu. Ndikukuthokozani chifukwa cha mlanduwu womwe mwalola kuti undipindulire… ”
Matamando ndi mawonekedwe kapena pemphero lomwe limazindikira nthawi yomweyo kuti Mulungu ndiye Mulungu. -CCC 2639
Matamando otere monga awa, kapena kani, otero mtima wonga wa mwana popeza ili limakhala malo oyenereradi komanso osiririka oti Mulungu azikhalamo.

III. MUTHANDIZENI KUMANGIDWA MWAUZIMU — UMBONI WANGA
M'ZAKA zoyambirira za utumiki wanga, tinkachita misonkhano pamwezi mu tchalitchi china cha Katolika. Unali maola awiri madzulo a nyimbo zotamanda ndi kupembedza zokhala ndi umboni waumwini kapena kuphunzitsa pakati. Inali nthawi yamphamvu yomwe tinawona kutembenuka kambiri ndikulapa kwakukulu.
Sabata imodzi, atsogoleri a gululi adakonza msonkhano. Ndikukumbukira ndikupita kumeneko ndi mtambo wakuda uwu utandiphimba. Ndakhala ndikulimbana ndi tchimo linalake kwanthawi yayitali. Sabata ija, ndinali nawo kwenikweni adalimbana, ndipo adalephera momvetsa chisoni. Ndidadzimva wopanda thandizo, ndipo koposa zonse, ndimachita manyazi kwambiri. Apa ndinali mtsogoleri wa nyimbo… ndikulephera komanso kukhumudwitsidwa.
Pamsonkhano, adayamba kupereka mapepala a nyimbo. Sindimamva kuyimba konse, kapena, sindimamva woyenera kuyimba. Koma ndimadziwa mokwanira monga mtsogoleri wopembedzera kuti kupereka matamando kwa Mulungu ndichinthu chomwe ndimamuyenera, osati chifukwa ndikumverera, koma chifukwa ndi Mulungu. Kuphatikiza apo, kuyamika ndichikhulupiriro… ndipo chikhulupiriro chitha kusuntha mapiri. Chifukwa chake ndidayamba kuyimba. Ndinayamba kutamanda.
Pamene ndimatero, ndidamva kuti Mzimu Woyera atsikira pa ine. Thupi langa linayamba kunjenjemera. Sindinapite kukayang'ana zochitika zamatsenga, kapena kuyesera kupanga gulu lachinyengo. Zomwe zimandichitikira zinali kwenikweni.
Mwadzidzidzi, ndimatha kuwona mumtima mwanga ngati kuti ndikukwezedwa pa chikepe chopanda zitseko… ndikukwezedwa mu zomwe ndimaganiza kuti ndi chipinda chachifumu cha Mulungu. Zomwe ndidaziwona zinali galasi lamagalasi. Ine Ankadziwa Ndinali kumeneko pamaso pa Mulungu. Zinali zosangalatsa kwambiri. Ndimamva chikondi chake ndi chifundo chake kwa ine, ndikutsuka kulakwa kwanga ndi dothi ndi kulephera. Ndinali kuchiritsidwa ndi Chikondi.
Ndipo nditachoka usiku womwewo, mphamvu yakundilowerera m'moyo wanga inali osweka. Sindikudziwa m'mene Mulungu adachitira, zomwe ndikudziwa ndikuti adachita: Anandimasula - ndipo adatero, mpaka lero.
Yambani kutamanda Mulungu m'mayesero anu, m'mabanja mwanu, m'mipingo yanu, ndipo muwone mphamvu ya Mulungu akuchita zomwe adalonjeza:
Wandidzoza kuti ndibweretse uthenga wabwino kwa osauka. Iye wandituma ine kulengeza za ufulu kwa iwo ogwidwawo, ndi kupenyanso kwa akhungu, kumasula ozunzidwa, ndi kulengeza chaka chovomerezeka kwa Ambuye. (Luka 4: 18-19)
