Kondwerani nthawi zonse, pempherani kosalekeza

KUCHOKERA Ndinakulemberani pomaliza, miyoyo yathu yalowa m’chipwirikiti pamene tayamba kuchoka m’chigawo china kupita ku china. Kuonjezera apo, ndalama zosayembekezereka ndi kukonzanso zawonjezeka pakati pa kulimbana kwanthawi zonse ndi makontrakitala, masiku omalizira, ndi maunyolo osweka. Dzulo ndinaphulitsa gasket ndipo ndinayenda ulendo wautali.

Pambuyo popumira pang'ono, ndinazindikira kuti ndinali nditataya malingaliro; Ndagwidwa munthawi yanthawi, kusokonezedwa ndi zambiri, kukokeredwa muvuto lazovuta za ena (komanso zanga). Pamene misozi inali kutsika, ndinatumiza uthenga kwa ana anga aamuna ndi kuwapepesa chifukwa chotaya mtima. Ndinataya chinthu chimodzi chofunikira—chimene Atate akhala akundifunsa mobwerezabwereza komanso mwakachetechete kwa zaka zambiri:

Muthange mwafuna Ufumu wa Mulungu ndi chilungamo chake, ndipo zonse zimenezo [zimene mukufunikira] zidzawonjezedwa kwa inu. ( Mateyu 6:33 )

Kunena zoona, miyezi ingapo yapitayi ndaona mmene kukhala ndi kupemphera “m’Chifuniro cha Mulungu” kwabweretsera mgwirizano waukulu, ngakhale m’kati mwa mayesero.^[1]cf. Mmene Mungakhalire M'chifuniro Chaumulungu Koma ndikayamba tsiku mu chifuniro changa (ngakhale ndikuganiza kuti chifuniro changa ndichofunika), chirichonse chikuwoneka ngati chikutsika kuchokera pamenepo. Ndi malangizo osavuta: Funani choyamba Ufumu wa Mulungu. Kwa ine, izo zikutanthauza kuyamba tsiku langa mu chiyanjano ndi Mulungu mu pemphero; ndiye zikutanthauza kuchita udindo wa mphindi iliyonse, chimene chiri chifuniro chowonekera cha Atate pa moyo wanga ndi ntchito yanga.

KUYIMBILA PHONE

Pamene ndinali kuyendetsa galimoto, ndinalandira foni kuchokera kwa wansembe wa Basilian Fr. Clair Watrin yemwe ambiri aife timamuyesa woyera mtima. Anali wotanganidwa kwambiri m'magulu apansi ku Western Canada ndi mtsogoleri wauzimu kwa ambiri. Nthawi zonse ndikapita kukaulula naye, nthawi zonse ndinkagwetsa misozi ndi kukhalapo kwa Yesu mwa iye. Ali ndi zaka zoposa 90 tsopano, ali m'nyumba ya akuluakulu (sawalola kuti azichezera ena chifukwa cha "Covid", chimfine, ndi zina zotero, zomwe ndi zankhanza kwambiri), motero akukhala m'ndende yokhazikika. zovuta zake. Koma kenako anandiuza kuti,

…komabe, ndikudabwa momwe Mulungu wakhala wabwino kwa ine, momwe amandikondera komanso kundipatsa mphatso ya Chikhulupiriro Choona. Zomwe tili nazo ndi nthawi yomwe ilipo, pakali pano, pamene tikulankhulana pafoni. Apa ndi pamene Mulungu ali, panopa; izi ndi zonse zomwe tili nazo popeza mwina tisakhale ndi mawa.

Iye anapitiriza kulankhula za chinsinsi cha kuzunzika, chimene chinandipangitsa ine kukumbukira zimene wansembe wathu wa parishi ananena pa Lachisanu Labwino:

Yesu sanafe kuti atipulumutse ku zowawa; Anafa kuti atipulumutse kudzera kuvutika.

Ndipo apa ife tikubwera ndiye ku St. Paul's Little Way. Palembali, Fr. Clair anati, “Kuyesa kutsatira Malemba amenewa kwasintha moyo wanga”:

Kondwerani nthawi zonse, pempherani kosalekeza ndi kuyamika muzochitika zonse, pakuti ichi ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu kwa inu mwa Khristu Yesu. ( 1 Atesalonika 5:16 )

Ngati tifuna “funa Ufumu wa Mulungu coyamba,” ndiye kuti lemba limeneli ndilo njira…

ST. NJIRA YOCHEPA YA PAULO

“Kondwerani Nthawi Zonse”

Kodi munthu amasangalala motani akamavutika, kaya ndi akuthupi, amaganizo, kapena auzimu? Yankho lili pawiri. Choyamba ndi chakuti palibe chimene chimatichitikira chimene sichili Chifuniro cholekerera cha Mulungu. Koma kodi n’chifukwa chiyani Mulungu amalola kuti ndizivutika, makamaka ngati n’zopwetekadi? Yankho ndi lakuti Yesu anabwera kudzatipulumutsa kudzera kuvutika kwathu. Adawauza Atumwi ake kuti: “Chakudya changa ndicho kuchita chifuniro cha Iye amene anandituma Ine. . . . ^[2]John 4: 34 Ndiyeno Yesu anationetsa njira kupyolera mu kuzunzika Kwake komwe.

Chinthu champhamvu kwambiri chomwe chimamanga mzimu ndikusungunula chifuniro chake mwa Ine. —Yesu kwa Mtumiki wa Mulungu Luisa Piccarreta, March 18th, 1923, Vol. 15

Yankho lachiwiri la chinsinsi ichi ndi maganizo. Ngati ndimayang'ana kwambiri zachisoni, chisalungamo, zosokoneza kapena zokhumudwitsa, ndiye kuti ndikutaya malingaliro. Kumbali ina, ndingathenso kudzipereka ndikuvomereza kuti ngakhale ichi ndi Chifuniro cha Mulungu, ndipo motero, chida cha kuyeretsedwa kwanga.

Pakali pano kulanga konse kumawoneka kowawa koposa kokondweretsa; pambuyo pake, chipereka chipatso cha mtendere, kwa iwo wozoloweretsedwa nacho, ndicho chilungamo. ( Ahebri 12:11 )

Izi ndi zomwe timatcha "mtanda". M'malo mwake, ndikuganiza kugonja ulamuliro pazochitika zina zimakhala zowawa kwambiri kuposa momwe zimakhalira! Tikavomereza Chifuniro cha Mulungu “monga kamwana” ndiye kuti tingasangalale ndi mvula popanda ambulera.

“Pempherani Nthawi Zonse”

M'ziphunzitso zokongola za pemphero mu Katekisimu wa Katolika akuti,

Mu Pangano Latsopano, pemphero ndi ubale wamoyo wa ana a Mulungu ndi Atate wawo womwe ndi wabwino kwambiri, ndi Mwana wake Yesu Khristu komanso ndi Mzimu Woyera. Chisomo cha Ufumu ndicho “chigwirizano cha Utatu wonse woyera ndi wachifumu . . . ndi mzimu wonse wa munthu.” Chotero, moyo wa pemphero ndi chizoloŵezi cha kukhala pamaso pa Mulungu woyera katatu ndi m’chiyanjano ndi iye. Mgonero uwu wa moyo ndi wotheka nthawi zonse chifukwa, kudzera mu Ubatizo, talumikizidwa kale ndi Khristu. (CCC, n. 2565)

Mwa kuyankhula kwina, Mulungu amakhalapo kwa ine nthawi zonse, koma kodi ndimakhala kwa Iye? Ngakhale munthu sangathe kusinkhasinkha nthawi zonse ndikupanga "mapemphero", ife mungathe chitani ntchito yanthawiyo - "zinthu zazing'ono" - ndi chikondi chachikulu. Tingatsuka mbale, kusesa pansi, kapena kulankhula ndi ena mwadala ndi mwachikondi. Kodi munayamba mwachitapo ntchito yonyozeka ngati kumangitsa bawuti kapena kuchotsa zinyalala ndi chikondi cha pa Mulungu ndi mnansi? Ilinso ndi pemphero chifukwa “Mulungu ndiye chikondi”. Kodi chikondi sichingakhale chopereka chapamwamba bwanji?

Nthaŵi zina m’galimoto ndikakhala ndi mkazi wanga, ndimangofikira kumgwira dzanja. Ndizokwanira "kukhala" naye. Sikuti nthawi zonse kukhala ndi Mulungu kumafunika kuchita “ie. kunena zopembedza, kupita ku Misa, ndi zina zotero.” Ndiko kungomulola Iye kuti afikitse ndikugwira dzanja lanu, kapena komanso mbali inayi, kenako pitirizani kuyendetsa.

Zomwe akuyenera kuchita ndikukwaniritsa mokhulupirika ntchito zazing'ono zachikhristu ndi iwo omwe amafunidwa ndi moyo wawo, kulandira mosangalala mavuto onse omwe amakumana nawo ndikugonjera chifuniro cha Mulungu mu zonse zomwe ayenera kuchita kapena kuzunzika — popanda, mwanjira iliyonse , kudzifunira okha mavuto… Chimene Mulungu wakonza kuti tichite nthawi iliyonse ndicho chinthu chabwino kwambiri ndi chopatulika koposa chomwe chingatichitikire. —Fr. Jean-Pierre de Caussade Kusiya Kukonzekera Kwaumulungu, (DoubleDay), masamba 26-27

“Yamikani muzonse”

Koma palibe chimene chingasokoneze kukhala mwamtendere pamaso pa Mulungu kuposa kuzunzika kosayembekezereka kapena kwanthaŵi yaitali. Ndikhulupirireni, ndine Exhibit A.

Fr. Clair wakhala akulowa ndi kutuluka m'chipatala posachedwapa, komabe, analankhula kwa ine moona mtima madalitso ambiri omwe ali nawo monga kukhala wokhoza kuyenda, kulembabe maimelo, kupemphera, ndi zina zotero. Zinali zosangalatsa kumva. kuthokoza kwake kochokera pansi pamtima kumayenda kuchokera mu mtima weniweni ngati wamwana.

Kumbali ina, ndinali kubwereza mndandanda wamavuto, zopinga, ndi zokhumudwitsa zomwe takhala tikukumana nazo. Kotero, apa kachiwiri, St. Paul's Little Way ndi imodzi yobwereranso maganizo. Munthu amene nthawi zonse amakhala woipa, amalankhula za kuipa kwa zinthu, momwe dziko limatsutsira ... amadzakhala poizoni kwa omwe amawazungulira. Ngati titsegula pakamwa pathu, tiyenera kukhala osamala pa zomwe timanena.

Chifukwa chake, mulimbikitsane wina ndi mnzake, ndi kumangirirana wina ndi mnzake, monga muchitira. (1 Atesalonika 5:11)

Ndipo palibe njira ina yabwino ndi yosangalatsa yochitira zimenezi kuposa kuyamika Mulungu chifukwa cha madalitso onse amene wapereka. Palibe njira yabwino komanso yamphamvu yokhalirabe “wabwino” (ie dalitso kwa iwo amene akuzungulirani) kuposa iyi.

Pakuti pano tiribe mudzi wokhalitsa, koma ife tikufunafuna umene uli nkudzawo. Chifukwa chake, mwa Iye tipereke chiperekere kwa Mulungu nsembe yakuyamika, ndiyo chipatso cha milomo yovomereza dzina lake. ( Ahebri 13:14-15 )

Iyi ndi Njira Yaing'ono ya Paulo… sangalalani, pempherani, thokozani, nthawi zonse - chifukwa zomwe zikuchitika panthawi ino, pakali pano, ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu ndi chakudya chanu.

…musadandaulenso… M’malo mwake funani ufumu wake
ndipo zosowa zanu zonse zidzapatsidwa kwa inu.
Musachitenso mantha, kagulu ka nkhosa inu;
pakuti Atate wanu akonda kukupatsani Ufumu.
( Luka 12:29, 31-32 )

Ndikuthokoza chifukwa cha thandizo lanu ...
