Sichikumbukira zoipa, kapena kusangalala ndi choipa. Chimakwirira zinthu zonse, chimakhulupirira zinthu zonse, chimayembekezera zinthu zonse, ndiponso chimapirira zinthu zonse. (1 Akor. 13: 4-7)
Kodi ndingakhale nkhope ya Khristu kwa wina? Yesu akuti,
Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit.-Yoh 15: 5
Kupyolera mu pemphero ndi kulapa, tidzapeza mphamvu zachikondi. Titha kuyamba ndi kutsuka mbale usikuuno, ndikumwetulira.
POPANDA kulingalira za Yesu mu Zinsinsi Zaulemerero usiku watha, ndimaganizira zakuti nthawi zonse ndimaganiza za Mariya akuimirira pomwe Yesu adamuveka korona wa Mfumukazi Yakumwamba. Malingaliro awa adadza kwa ine…

Ndipo pachisangalalo cha Kumwamba, adaikidwa pa mpando wachifumu wawo.
Tchalitchi cha Katolika sichilambira Maria, cholengedwa chonga iwe ndi ine. Koma timalemekeza oyera athu, ndipo Maria ndiye wamkulu kuposa iwo onse. Pakuti samangokhala mayi wa Khristu (taganizani za izo — Iye mwina anatenga mphuno Yake yabwino Yachiyuda kuchokera kwa iye), koma iye anali chitsanzo cha chikhulupiriro changwiro, chiyembekezo changwiro, ndi chikondi changwiro.
Atatu awa atsalira (1 Cor 13: 13), ndipo ndiwo miyala yamtengo wapatali kwambiri mu korona wake.
AWA kuwala kisanu, kochokera mumtima wa Mkhristu,

UMPHAWI WA KUDZIPEREKA
Chiyero, uthenga wotsimikizira popanda kufunika kwa mawu, ndiye chinyezimiro cha nkhope ya Khristu. —JOHANE PAUL II, Novo Millennio Ineunte
NGATI kukhala ndi Mwana wa Mulungu ngati mwana wanu sikutsimikizira kuti zonse zidzakhala bwino. M'chisanu chachisanu chosangalatsa chachinsinsi, Maria ndi Yosefe adazindikira kuti Yesu akusowa pagulu lawo. Atafufuza, adampeza m'kachisi kumbuyo ku Yerusalemu. Lemba limanena kuti "adadabwa" ndikuti "sanamvetse zomwe ananena kwa iwo."
Umphawi wachisanu, womwe ungakhale wovuta kwambiri, ndi wa kudzipereka: kuvomereza kuti tilibe mphamvu zopewera zovuta, zovuta, komanso zobweza zomwe zimaperekedwa tsiku lililonse. Amabwera — ndipo timadabwa — makamaka ngati mwadzidzidzi ndipo akuoneka kuti siwofunika kwenikweni. Apa ndipomwe timakumana ndi umphawi wathu… Kulephera kwathu kumvetsetsa chifuniro chodabwitsa cha Mulungu.
Koma kuvomereza chifuniro cha Mulungu ndi kufatsa kwa mtima, kupereka ngati mamembala achifumu achifumu kuvutika kwathu kwa Mulungu kuti tisandulike chisomo, ndi njira yomweyo yomwe Yesu adalandirira Mtandawo, nati, "Osati chifuniro changa koma chanu chichitike." Momwe Khristu adakhalira wosauka! Ndife olemera bwanji chifukwa cha izi! Ndipo moyo wa wina udzalemera pamene golidi wamasautso athu amaperekedwa kwa iwo kuchokera mu umphawi wakudzipereka.
Chifuniro cha Mulungu ndicho chakudya chathu, ngakhale nthawi zina chimakoma kuwawa. Mtanda unali owawa ndithu, koma panalibe Kuuka popanda iwo.
Umphawi wodzipereka uli ndi nkhope: chipiriro.
I know your tribulation and poverty, but you are rich... Do not be afraid of anything you are going to suffer... remain faithful until death, I will give you the crown of life.(Chibv. 2: 9-10)
MALINGALIRO kwa malamulo a Alevi, mkazi wobala mwana azibwera naye kukachisi:
mwanawankhosa wa chaka chimodzi wa nsembe yopsereza ndi njiwa kapena njiwa ya nsembe yopepesera machimo… Ngati sangakwanitse kupereka mwanawankhosa, atenga njiwa ziwiri… ” (Lev. 12: 6, 8)
M'buku lachinayi lachimwemwe, Mary ndi Joseph akupereka mbalame ziwiri. Mu umphawi wawo, ndizo zonse zomwe akanatha kukwanitsa.
Mkhristu weniweni amatchulidwanso kuti azipereka, osati nthawi yokha, komanso chuma - chakudya, chakudya, katundu - "mpaka kupweteka", Mayi Wodala Teresa anganene.
Monga chitsogozo, Aisraeli amayenera kupereka chakhumi kapena magawo khumi a "zipatso zoyamba" za ndalama zawo ku "nyumba ya Ambuye." Mu Chipangano Chatsopano, Paulo sanatchulepo kanthu za kuchirikiza Mpingo ndi iwo amene amatumikira Uthenga Wabwino. Ndipo Khristu amayika patsogolo pa osauka.
Sindinayambe ndakumanapo ndi aliyense amene ankapereka chakhumi pa magawo khumi a ndalama zawo amene ankasowa kalikonse. Nthawi zina "nkhokwe" zawo zimasefukira pomwe amaperekanso kwambiri.
Kupatsa ndi mphatso zidzapatsidwa kwa inu, muyeso wabwino, wokutidwa pamodzi, wogwedezeka, wosefukira, udzatsanulidwira m'manja mwanu " (Lk. 6:38)
Umphawi wadzipereka ndi womwe timawona zochulukirapo, zochepa ngati ndalama zosewerera, komanso chakudya chotsatira cha "m'bale wanga". Ena amatchedwa kugulitsa zonse ndikupereka kwa osauka ( Mateyu 19:21 ). Koma tonsefe akuti "tisiye chuma chathu chonse" - kukonda kwathu ndalama ndi kukonda zinthu zomwe zingagule - ndikupatsanso, ngakhale zomwe tiribe.
Kale, titha kumva kusowa kwathu chikhulupiriro mchisamaliro cha Mulungu.
Pomaliza, umphawi wodzipereka ndikukhazikika kwa mzimu momwe ndimakhalira wokonzeka kudzipereka ndekha. Ndikuuza ana anga kuti, "Tengani ndalama mchikwama chanu, kuti mwina mungakumane ndi Yesu, wobisika mwaumphawi. Khalani ndi ndalama, osati yoti mugwiritse ntchito, monga kuperekera."
Umphawi wamtunduwu uli ndi nkhope: ndi kuwolowa manja.
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and try me in this, says the Lord: Shall I not open for you the floodgates of heaven, to pour down blessing upon you without measure?(Mal. 3:10)
...this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood.(Mar 12: 43-44)
WE lingalirani mu Chinsinsi Chachitatu Chokondweretsa kuti Yesu sanabadwire kuchipatala chobowolera kapena m'nyumba yachifumu. Mfumu yathu idagona modyeramo ziweto "chifukwa adasowa malo m'nyumba ya alendo."
Ndipo Yosefe ndi Mariya sanaumirire kuti atonthozedwe. Iwo sanafunefune abwino koposa, ngakhale kuti moyenerera akanatha kuwafuna. Iwo anali okhutitsidwa ndi kuphweka.
Moyo wa Mkhristu weniweni uyenera kukhala wopepuka. Munthu akhoza kukhala wolemera, komabe nkumakhala moyo wosalira zambiri. Zimatanthauza kukhala ndi zomwe munthu amafunikira, m'malo mongofuna (mwa zifukwa). Zotsekera zathu nthawi zambiri zimakhala zoyambira kutentha kwambiri.
Ngakhale kuphweka sikutanthauza kukhala mosakhazikika. Ndikutsimikiza kuti Yosefe adatsuka modyeramo ziweto, kuti Maria adachikulunga ndi nsalu yoyera, komanso kuti nyumba yawo yaying'ono idakonzedwa mokwanira momwe Khristu amabwera. Momwemonso mitima yathu iyenera kukonzekereratu kubwera kwa Mpulumutsi. Umphawi wa kuphweka kumamupangira malo.
Ili ndi nkhope: kukhutira.
I have learned the secret of being well fed and of going hungry, of living in abundance and being in need. I have the strength for everything through him who empowers me.(Afil. 4: 12-13)
IN Chinsinsi Chosangalatsa Chachiwiri, Mary akuyamba kuthandiza msuweni wake Elizabeti yemwe akuyembekezeranso kubereka. Lemba limanena kuti Mariya adakhala komweko "miyezi itatu."

Mkhristu weniweni ndi amene amadzipereka kuti atumikire mnzake.
Mulungu ndiye woyamba.
Mnansi wanga ndi wachiwiri.
Ndine wachitatu.
Uwu ndiye mtundu wamphamvu kwambiri wa umphawi. Ndi nkhope yake ndi ya kukonda.
...he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave... becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross.(Afil 2: 7)
POPANDA kusinkhasinkha mu "sukulu ya Maria", mawu oti "umphawi" adasinthanso kukhala ma radiation asanu. Choyamba…

Zikachitike kwa ine monga mwa mawu anu.
Aliyense wa ife amabadwa ndi ndondomeko ya moyo wake, ndipo amapatsidwa mphatso kuti achite. Ndipo, ndi kangati pomwe timadzipeza tikusilira anzathu maluso? "Amayimba bwino kuposa ine; ndiwanzeru; ndiwowoneka bwino; ndi waluso kwambiri…" ndi zina zambiri.

Umphawi uwu uli ndi nkhope: umatchedwa kudzichepetsa.
Blessed are the poor in spirit.(Mateyu 5: 3)
THE dziko ladzala ndi “mawu Achikristu.” Koma chimene chimamva ludzu ndicho “Chikhristu” chenicheni mboni.
