LENTEN YOBWERETSEDWA
tsiku 5

KODI udakali ndi ine? Lero ndi Tsiku 5 labwerera kwathu, ndipo ndikutsimikiza kuti ambiri a inu mukuvutikira m'masiku oyamba kuti mukhalebe odzipereka. Koma tengani izi, mwina, ngati chizindikiro kuti mungafune kuthawira kumeneku kuposa momwe mukuzindikira. Ndikhoza kunena kuti ndi choncho kwa ine ndekha.

Lero, tikupitiliza kukulitsa masomphenya a zomwe zikutanthauza kukhala Mkhristu ndi amene tili mwa Khristu…

Zinthu ziwiri zimachitika tikabatizidwa. Choyamba ndikuti tidatsukidwa machimo athu onse, makamaka tchimo loyambirira. Chachiwiri ndikuti timakhala a chilengedwe chatsopano mwa Khristu.

Chifukwa chake, ngati wina ali mwa Khristu ali wolengedwa watsopano; zakale zapita, tawonani, zakhala zatsopano. (2 Akor. 5:17)

M'malo mwake, Katekisimu amaphunzitsa kuti wokhulupirira amakhala "wopatutsidwa" ^[1]cf. CCC, 1988 by chisomo choyeretsa kudzera mu chikhulupiriro ndi Ubatizo. 

Chisomo ndi a kutenga nawo mbali m'moyo wa Mulungu. Zimatidziwitsa ku chiyanjano cha moyo wa Atatu... -Katekisma wa Mpingo wa Katolika, N. 1997

Mphatso yaulereyi ya chisomo, ndiye, imatithandiza kutero khalani "ogawana nawo za umulungu ndi moyo wosatha." ^[2]CCC, 1996

Chifukwa chake zikuwonekeratu kuti kukhala Mkhristu si nkhani yolowa nawo kalabu, koma kukhala munthu watsopano. Koma izi sizimangochitika zokha. Pamafunika mgwirizano wathu. Zimafunikira kuti tigwirizane ndi Mzimu Woyera kuti chisomo chitisinthe mochulukira kukhala chifanizo cha Mulungu momwe tidapangidwira. Monga St. Paul adaphunzitsira:

Pakuti iwo amene iye anawadziwiratu iye anawalamuliratu kuti afanane ndi chifaniziro cha Mwana wake… (Aroma 8:29)

Kodi izi zikutanthauza chiyani? Zikutanthauza kuti Atate akufuna kusintha "umunthu wathu wamkati", monga amatchulira Paulo Woyera, mochulukira kukhala Yesu. Sizitanthauza kuti Mulungu akufuna kufufuta umunthu wanu ndi mphatso zanu, koma, kuti mumve nawo zauzimu, za Yesu, amene kukonda thupi. Monga ndimanenera kwa achinyamata ndikamalankhula kusukulu: “Yesu sanabwere kudzatenga umunthu wanu; Anabwera kudzachotsa tchimo lanu lomwe limasokoneza zomwe inu muli! ”

Chifukwa chake, cholinga cha Ubatizo si chipulumutso chanu chokha, koma kubweretsa mwa inu chipatso cha Mzimu Woyera, chomwe chiri “Chikondi, chimwemwe, mtendere, kuleza mtima, chifundo, kukoma mtima, kukhulupirika, chifatso, ndi chiletso.” ^[3]Gal 5: 22 Musaganize kuti izi ndizabwino kwambiri kapena miyezo yosatheka. M'malo mwake, awone monga omwe Mulungu adafuna kuti mukhale pachiyambi pomwe.

Mukaimirira m'sitolo kuti musankhe chojambulira, kodi mumagula mtundu wapansi wokhala ndi mano, osowa mabatani, komanso wopanda buku? Kapena mumatenga yatsopanoyo m'bokosi? Inde mumatero. Mukulipira ndalama zabwino, ndipo bwanji mukuyenera kukhalira zochepa. Kapena mungasangalale ndi yophwanyidwayo yomwe mukafika kunyumba, ikukwera utsi wambiri?

Chifukwa chiyani ndiye kuti timakhazikika pazokhudza moyo wathu wauzimu? Ambiri aife timakhalabe osweka chifukwa palibe amene watipatsa masomphenya oti adzakhale otsogola kuposa amenewo. Mukuwona, Ubatizo ndi mphatso yomwe imatipangitsa, mutha kunena, kusankha chochita chomwe tikufuna - kukhala oyera, kapena kungotsatira zomwe zidasweka. Koma mverani, Mulungu sali wokhutitsidwa ndi mtima wanu kukhala wovundikira, mzimu wanu ukusowa mabatani, ndi malingaliro anu akuyendayenda popanda malangizo omveka. Yang'anani pa Mtanda ndikuwona momwe Mulungu adawonetsera kusakondwa kwake ndi kusweka kwathu! Ichi ndichifukwa chake Woyera Paulo akuti,

… Osafanizidwa ndi dziko lino lapansi; koma musandulike mtima watsopano, kuti mukazindikire chimene chiri chifuniro cha Mulungu, chabwino, ndi chovomerezeka, ndi changwiro. (Aroma 12: 2)

Mukuwona, sizimangochitika zokha. Kusintha kumadza pamene timayamba kukonzanso malingaliro athu ndi mawu a Mulungu, ndi ziphunzitso za Chikhulupiriro chathu cha Katolika, ndikudzifananitsa ndi Uthenga Wabwino.

Monga ndanenera kale mmbuyomu, zili ngati kuti mwamuna kapena mkazi watsopanoyu ali mimba mkati mwathu pa Ubatizo. Iyenera kusamaliridwa ndi Masakramenti, wopangidwa ndi Mawu a Mulungu, ndikulimbikitsidwa kudzera pemphero kotero kuti titengapo gawo m'moyo wa Mulungu, kukhala oyera, ndi "mchere ndi kuunika" kwa ena omwe akusowa chiyembekezo ndi chipulumutso.

[Akupatseni mphamvu kuti alimbikitsidwe ndi mphamvu kudzera mwa Mzimu wake mwa munthu wamkati, ndi kuti Khristu akhale m'mitima yanu mwa chikhulupiriro. (Aef.3: 17)

Abale ndi alongo, sikokwanira kuti mukhale mchikatolika wobadwayo. Sikokwanira kupita ku Misa Lamlungu lililonse. Sitimagawana nawo kalabu yamdziko, koma mikhalidwe yaumulungu!

Chifukwa chake tisiye chiphunzitso choyambirira cha Khristu ndikupita ku uchikulire. (Ahebri 6: 1)

Ndipo tidayankhula za njira yakukhwima iyi dzulo: polowa mu "Imfa Yabwino. ” Monga Katekisimu amaphunzitsira:

Njira yangwiro imadutsa pa Mtanda. Palibe chiyero popanda kukana ndi nkhondo yauzimu. Kupita patsogolo kwauzimu kumakhudzana ndi ascesis ndi ziwopsezo zomwe pang'onopang'ono zimapangitsa kukhala mumtendere ndi chisangalalo cha Madalitso. -CCC, n. 2015 ("ascesis and mortification" kutanthauza "kudzikana")

Ndipo tsopano ndi nthawi yoti tidziwike kwambiri pothawira pano, kuti tiwone njira zomwe tingalimbikitsire ndikulimbikitsa umunthu wamkati, ndikuyamba kukhazikitsa "mtendere ndi chisangalalo cha madalitsidwe." Lolani Amayi Athu Odala, ndiye, abwereze kwa inu zomwe St. Paul adanena kwa ana ake auzimu:

Ana anga, amene ndigwiranso ntchito kufikira Khristu adzaumbika mwa inu. (Agal. 4:19)

CHidule ndi LEMBA

Atate samangofuna kutitsuka tchimo kudzera mu Ubatizo, koma kutithandiza kuti tikhale cholengedwa chatsopano, chopangidwanso m'chifanizo cha Mwana Wake.

Chifukwa chake, sitinataye mtima; M'malo mwake, ngakhale umunthu wathu wakunja ukuwonongeka, mkati mwathu mukukonzedwa tsiku ndi tsiku. (2 Akor. 4:16)
