CHIKHRISTU si malingaliro; ndi nkhope.
Ndipo nkhope ili kukonda.

Ndidayima panjira yanga kuti ndimvetsere, mzimu wanga ukuyaka mkati mwanga:

Kenako kanyumba kenakake kanakwera pa nsanjayo kukayatsa moto wochenjeza — mbendera yochenjeza anthu apadziko lapansi kukonzekera nkhondo.
Mulungu watitumiziranso "ana omwe timakonda" - ana ang'onoang'ono omwe Amayi awo adawonekerako ndikuwalamula kuti ayatse moto wa chowonadi, kuti kuwalako kuwale mumdima… Lourdes, Fatima, ndipo posachedwapa, a Medjugorje amabwera m'malingaliro ( Otsatirawa akudikirira kuvomerezedwa ndi Tchalitchi).

Tsopano tayimirira pankhondo yayikulu kwambiri yomwe anthu adakumana nayo. Sindikuganiza kuti magulu azambiri zaku America kapena magulu azachikhristu amazindikira izi kwathunthu. Tsopano tikukumana ndi mkangano womaliza pakati pa Mpingo ndi wotsutsa-Mpingo, wa Uthenga Wabwino ndi wotsutsa-Uthenga. Kukumana kumeneku kuli m'manja mwa Mulungu.

WAMKULU magawano akuchitika mdziko lapansi masiku ano. Anthu akuyenera kusankha mbali. Ndimagawano makamaka a makhalidwe abwino ndi chikhalidwe values, a Uthenga mfundo motsutsana amakono malingaliro.
Ndipo ndizomwe Khristu adati zichitike kwa mabanja ndi mayiko akadzakumana ndi kukhalapo kwake:
Kodi mukuganiza kuti ndabwera kudzakhazikitsa mtendere padziko lapansi? Ndikukuuzani, Ayi, koma magawano. Kuyambira pano banja la anthu asanu ligawika, atatu kutsutsana ndi awiri ndipo awiri kutsutsana ndi atatu ... (Luka 12: 51-52)
I kumva ngati ora lililonse limawerengera tsopano. Kuti ndikuyitanidwira kutembenuka kwakukulu. Ndi chinthu chodabwitsa, komabe chosangalatsa modabwitsa. Khristu akutikonzekeretsa ku china chake… china chake zodabwitsa.
Yes, repentance is more than penitence. It is not remorse. It is not just admitting our mistakes. It is not self-condemnation: "What a fool I've been!" Who of us has not recited such a dismal litany? No, repentance is a moral and spiritual revolution. To repent is one of the hardest things in the world, yet it is basic to all spiritual progress. It demands the breaking down of pride, self-assurance, and the innermost citadel of self-will.'' (Catherine de Hueck Doherty, Mpsompsono ya Khristu)
Pambuyo pake Kuulula lero, chithunzi cha bwalo lankhondo chidakumbukira.
Mdani akutiwombera mivi ndi zipolopolo, kutipusitsa ndi chinyengo, mayesero, ndi kuneneza. Nthawi zambiri timadzipeza tavulala, tikukha magazi, komanso tili olumala, ndikubisalira ngalande.
Koma Khristu amatikoka ife kulowa mu Bunker of Confession, ndiyeno… amalola bomba la chisomo chake liphulike mu gawo lauzimu, kuwononga zomwe mdani amapeza, kutenganso zoopsa zathu, ndikutipatsanso zida zauzimu zomwe zimatipangitsa kuti tizichita nawo kamodzinso "maulamuliro ndi mphamvu," kudzera mchikhulupiriro ndi Mzimu Woyera.
Tili pankhondo. Ndi nzeru, osati mantha, kuti mupite ku Bunker pafupipafupi.
THE mawu a Elizabeth Anne Seton pitilizani kulira m'mutu mwanga:
Be above the vain fears of nature and efforts of your enemy. You are children of eternity. Your immortal crown awaits you, and the best of Fathers waits there to reward your duty and love. You may indeed sow here in tears, but you may be sure there to reap in joy.(Kuchokera pamsonkhano kupita kwa ana ake auzimu)
ZOTHANDIZA…
Miyoyo yathu ili ngati nyenyezi yowombera. Funso-funso lauzimu-liri mu njira yomwe nyenyezi iyi ilowa.
Ngati tadyedwa ndi zinthu zapadziko lino lapansi: ndalama, chitetezo, mphamvu, katundu, chakudya, kugonana, zolaula… ndiye tili ngati meteor yomwe imayaka mlengalenga. Ngati tidyeredwa ndi Mulungu, ndiye kuti tili ngati meteor yolunjika kudzuwa.
Ndipo apa pali kusiyana.
Chimwala choyamba, chodyedwa ndi mayesero adziko lapansi, chimasanduka chopanda pake. Meteor yachiwiri, pomwe idadyedwa ndi Yesu Mwana, sichitha. M'malo mwake, umayaka moto, kusandulika ndikukhala umodzi ndi Mwanayo.
Woyamba amafa, kuzizira, mdima, komanso moyo. Wachiwiri amakhala, amakhala wofunda, wopepuka, ndi moto. Zakale zimawoneka zowoneka bwino pamaso pa dziko lapansi (kwakanthawi)… kufikira itasanduka fumbi, ikusowa mumdima. Wotsirizirayo ndi wobisika ndipo sakudziwika, kufikira atafika pamawala a Mwana, otengedwa kwamuyaya mu kuwala Kwake kotentha ndi chikondi.
Chifukwa chake, pali funso limodzi lokha m'moyo lofunikira: Chondiwonongerani?
What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?(Mat. 16:26)
MASIKU ANO, Apanso, ndikuwona kuti changu ndichangu kuti ndisiye zosokoneza ndi zoyipa zilizonse zomwe ndimamatirabe. Pali zabwino zambiri pamenepo kuti muchite… chisomo, ndikukhulupirira, kwa aliyense amene amafunsa moona mtima.
Palibe nthawi yowononga. Tiyenera kuyamba tsopano kukonzekera zomwe zikubwera "ngati mbala usiku". Ndi chiyani chomwe chikubwera?
Mulole iye amene ali ndi maso, onani; amene ali ndi makutu, kumvetsera.
THE Ambuye amawona zilakolako za mtima wathu. Amaona kufunitsitsa kwathu kukhala abwino.
Ndipo chotero, ngakhale zolephera zathu, ngakhale tchimo, akuthamangira kutikumbatira… monga Atate adathamangira kukakumbatira mwana wolowerera, yemwe adakutidwa ndi manyazi chifukwa cha kupanduka kwake.
Chifukwa chake, Gabrieli adalengeza kwa Mariya, "Usaope!"; khamu laulemerero linalengeza kwa abusa kuti, "Musaope!"; angelo awiriwo adalimbikitsa azimayi kumanda, "Musaope!"; ndipo kwa ophunzira ake ataukitsidwa, Yesu anabwereza kuti,Musaope."
KULIMA Kupemphera sabata yatha, ndakhala ndikusokonezeka m'malingaliro mwanga mwakuti ndimatha kupemphera chiganizo osatengeka pang'ono.
Madzulo ano, ndikulingalira pamaso pa malo odyetserako ziweto kutchalitchiko, ndinalira kwa Ambuye kuti andithandize ndi kundichitira chifundo. Mofulumira ngati nyenyezi yakugwa, mawuwa adadza kwa ine:
"Odala ali osauka mumzimu".
KUSONYEZA kwa kusiyanasiyana ndi anthu ndi zomwe chikhulupiriro chachikhristu chimaphunzitsa, ayi, amafuna. Komabe, izi sizikutanthauza "kulekerera" tchimo. '
… [Ntchito yathu] ndikupulumutsa dziko lonse lapansi ku zoipa ndikusintha mwa Mulungu: mwa pemphero, ndi kulapa, ndi chikondi, ndipo koposa zonse, ndi chifundo. -Thomas Merton, Palibe Munthu ndi Chilumba
Ndi chikondi osati kuvala amaliseche, kutonthoza odwala, ndi kuchezera mkaidi, koma kuthandiza m'bale wake osati kukhala amaliseche, kudwala, kapena kumangidwa poyamba. Chifukwa chake, cholinga cha Tchalitchi ndikutanthauzanso zomwe zili zoyipa, kuti zisankhidwe zabwino.
Ufulu sutanthauza kuchita zomwe timakonda, koma kukhala ndi ufulu wochita zomwe timayenera. —PAPA JOHN PAUL II
LITI Ndakhala womasuka kwakanthawi kuchokera kumayesero ndi mayesero, ndikuvomereza kuti ndimaganiza kuti ichi ndi chizindikiro chokula mu chiyero… pomalizira pake, kuyenda mu mayendedwe a Khristu!
… Mpaka Atate atatsitsa mapazi anga pansi chisautso. Ndipo ndinazindikiranso kuti, pandekha, ndimangotenga masitepe aana, ndikupunthwa ndikulephera kuchita bwino.
Mulungu samandikhazika pansi chifukwa sakundikondanso, kapena kundisiya. M'malo mwake, kotero ndikuzindikira kuti kupita patsogolo kwakukulu m'moyo wauzimu kumachitika, osati kudumpha kupita patsogolo, koma pamwamba, kubwerera mmanja Ake.
NTHAWI ndi mphatso ya Mzimu Woyera,

THE tsankho za "kulolerana!"
Ndizosangalatsa kudziwa momwe iwo omwe amaneneza akhristu za

Ndiwowonekera kwambiri - komanso wosavuta kuyang'anitsitsa
