WADALITSIDWA ndi amene amapirira.

Nchifukwa chiyani wakhumudwa, m'bale kapena mlongo wokondedwa? Ndi pakupilira pomwe chikondi chimatsimikiziridwa, osati mu ungwiro, womwe ndi chipatso cha kupilira.

Woyera si munthu amene samagwa, koma makamaka amene salephera kudzukanso, modzichepetsa komanso ndi khama loyera. — St. Josemaria EscrivaAnzake a Mulungu, 131

M'chilimwe chathachi, ndimaphunzitsa m'modzi mwa anyamata anga achichepere kusuntha nyundo mu nyumba yathu ina. Manja akunjenjemera polemedwa ndi chidacho, mnyamatayo adayamba kugwedezeka, kuphonya kangapo, kugunda mwa apo ndi apo, mpaka msomali udaweramitsidwa mpaka kufika powongoka. Koma sindinali wokwiya; Zomwe ndidawona, m'malo mwake, zinali kutsimikiza mtima kwa mwana wanga chikhumbo —ndipo ndinamkonda iye koposa kaamba ka icho. Ndikuwongola msomali, ndidamulimbikitsa, ndikukonza kusambira kwake, ndikumulola ayambirenso.

Momwemonso, Ambuye samawerengera zolakwa zanu, zolakwika ndi zolakwika zanu. Koma Iye is kuyang'ana kuti muwone ngati muli ndi mtima wa Iye, osati dziko lapansi; ngati Mutembenukira kwa Iye, kuchokera ku zosokoneza Zanu, kapena kungotembenuka ndikutembenuka; kaya, monga Yesu, mumadzuka mukugwa pansi pa mtanda wanu, kapena muponyeni pambali ndikusankha njira yayikulu komanso yosavuta. Mulungu ndiye wokonda abambo kwambiri, ndipo kwa Iye, zolephera zanu ndi mwayi wakukulangizani ndikuphunzitsani kuti mukule msinkhu. Satana amafuna kuti inu muziwona zolephera zanu ndi zolakwa monga cholepheretsa; koma Mulungu akufuna kuti muwaone ngati mwala wopondera:

Kutsimikiza kolimba mtima kukhala woyera kumandisangalatsa kwambiri. Ndikudalitsa kuyesetsa kwanu ndipo ndikupatsani mwayi wodziyeretsa. Chenjerani kuti musataye mwayi uliwonse womwe kudalira kwanga kukupatsirani kuyeretsedwa. Ngati simukuyesetsa kugwiritsa ntchito mwayiwo, musataye mtendere wanu, koma dzichepetseni kwambiri pamaso Panga ndipo, ndikudalira kwakukulu, mudzidzimiretu m'chifundo Changa. Potero, mumapeza zochuluka kuposa zomwe mwataya, chifukwa munthu amene ali ndi mtima wodzichepetsa amapatsidwa chisomo chochuluka kuposa chomwe mzimuwo wapempha…  -Jesu kwa St. Faustina, Chifundo Chaumulungu mu Moyo Wanga, Diary, n. 1361

Ambuye ali wokonzeka kukuthandizani ndi chisomo chikwi. Ndipo kotero, monga wobvomereza wa St. Faustina adati,

Khalani okhulupirika monga momwe mungathere ku chisomo cha Mulungu. —St. Wovomereza a Faustina, Chifundo Cha Mulungu M'moyo Wanga, Zolemba, n. 1432

Pazifukwa zina lero, Ambuye akufuna kuti ndifuule, “Osataya mtima! Musalole kuti Mdyerekezi akulepheretseni! ” Mverani kachiwiri ku Mawu a Mulungu:

… Ngakhale imfa, kapena moyo, kapena angelo, kapena maufumu, kapena zinthu za tsopano, kapena zinthu zamtsogolo, kapena mphamvu, kapena kutalika, kapena kuya, kapena cholengedwa china chilichonse sichidzakhoza kutisiyanitsa ife ndi chikondi cha Mulungu mwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye wathu . (Aroma 8: 38-39)

Kodi mwawona mawu oyamba pamndandandawo ndi "imfa"? Kodi uchimo ndi chiyani koma imfa ya moyo? Kotero ngakhale tchimo lanu silimatha kukulekanitsani inu ndi kukonda za Mulungu. Tsopano, tchimo lakupha, kapena chomwe timachitcha "tchimo lachivundi" likhoza kukuchotsani kwa Mulungu chisomo. Koma osati chikondi Chake. Sadzasiya kukukondani.

Ngati ndife osakhulupirika amakhalabe okhulupirika, chifukwa sangathe kudzikana yekha. (2 Tim 2:13)

Nanga bwanji za zolakwa zanu za tsiku ndi tsiku ndi zolephera kukula mu chiyero, kapena chomwe timachitcha "tchimo loyipa"? M'ndime imodzi yolimbikitsa kwambiri mu Katekisimu, Mpingo umaphunzitsa kuti:

Tchimo ladala komanso losalapa limatitaya pang'ono ndi pang'ono kuti tichite tchimo. Komabe tchimo loyipa silimaphwanya pangano ndi Mulungu. Ndi chisomo cha Mulungu chimatha kubwezeredwa. "Tchimo lenileni silimachotsera wochimwayo chisomo choyera, kukhala paubwenzi ndi Mulungu, kuthandiza ena, ndipo chifukwa chake amakhala osangalala kosatha." -Katekisma wa Mpingo wa Katolika, N. 1863

Izi zikutanthauza kuti, kukhomerera msomali sikofanana ndi kuphwanya dala. Choncho musamusiye satana kukutsutsani ngati mupunthwa nthawi ndi nthawi; mumuuze iye kuti ndiwe wokondedwa, kenako musanyalanyaze, pemphani chikhululuko kwa Mulungu, ndikuyambiranso.

Kubwerera ku chilengezo changa choyambirira cha Lenten Retreat iyi, ^[1]cf. Lenten Retreat ndi Mark Ndanena kuti izi zikhala za 'osauka; ndi ya ofooka; ndi ya anthu osokoneza bongo; Ndi za iwo omwe akumva ngati kuti dziko lino likuwatsekera ndipo kulira kwawo kwa ufulu kukutayika. Koma ndi kufooka kumene kumene komwe Ambuye adzakhale wolimba. Chofunika, ndiye, "inde" wanu, wanu fiat. ' Ndiye kuti, yanu chipiriro.

Ndipo ndichifukwa chake ndidapempha Amayi Athu Odala Kukhala Mtsogoleri Wathu Wobwerera, chifukwa palibe cholengedwa china chomwe chimakhudzidwa kwambiri ndi chipulumutso chanu kuposa iye. Uku-ndikubwerera monseku kukukhazikitsa njira yoti mulowe nawo nkhondo yankhondo yamasiku athu ano.

Posachedwa ndipo mokwanira bwanji tidzagonjetsa zoipa zomwe zili padziko lonse lapansi? Tikadzilola kutsogoleredwa ndi [Mary] kwathunthu. Iyi ndiye bizinesi yathu yofunika kwambiri komanso yathu. — St. Maximilian Kolbe, Cholinga Chokwera, tsa. 30, 31

 

CHidule ndi LEMBA

Chikondi chimawonetsedwa kwa Mulungu kudzera kupilira, kutsimikiza mtima, ndi chikhumbo… ndipo adzachita zonse.

… Koma za mbeu zinagwera panthaka yolemera, iwo ndiwo amene, atamva mawu, awalandira ndi mtima wowolowa manja, ndi wabwino, nabala zipatso mwa kupirira. (Luka 8:15)
