I inzwa sekunge awa yega yega kuverenga ikozvino. Kuti ini ndakadaidzwa kune shanduko huru. Chinhu chisinganzwisisike, uye zvakadaro chinofadza zvisingaite. Kristu ari kutigadzirira chimwe chinhu… chimwe chinhu zvinoshamisa.
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, Kiss yaKristu)
PASHURE Kureurura nhasi, mufananidzo wenhandare yehondo wakauya mupfungwa.

THE mazwi e Elizabeth Anne Seton ramba uchirira mumusoro mangu:
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.(Kubva pamusangano kuenda kuvanasikana vake vemweya)
KUFUNGWA...
Hupenyu hwedu hwakafanana nenyeredzi inopfura. Mubvunzo - iwo mubvunzo wemweya - uri mune ino orbit inopinda.
Kana isu takapedzwa nezvinhu zvepasi rino: mari, chengetedzo, simba, zvinhu, chikafu, bonde, zvinonyadzisira… saka isu takafanana nemeteor iyo inopisa mumhepo yepasi. Kana isu takapedzwa naMwari, saka isu takaita semeteor yakanangiswa kuzuva.
Uye heuno mutsauko.
Iyo meteor yekutanga, yakadyiwa nemiyedzo yenyika, inozopedzisira yaparara kuita chinhu. Iyo meteor yechipiri, sezvo inozopedzwa pamwe naJesu Mwanakomana, haina kuparara. Asi, rinoputika mumurazvo wemoto, richinyungudika rova chinhu chimwe neMwanakomana.
Wekutanga anofa, kuchitonhora, kusviba, uye kusava neupenyu. Iyo yekupedzisira inorarama, ichiita kudziya, mwenje, uye moto. Iyo yekutanga inoita kunge inopenya pamberi pemeso epasi (kwekanguva)… kusvikira rava guruva, richinyangarika murima. Iyo yekupedzisira yakavanzwa uye isingazivikanwe, kudzamara yasvika kune inoparadza mwaranzi yeMwanakomana, yakakwidzwa nekusingaperi muchiedza Chake chinopisa nerudo.
Uye saka, pane mubvunzo mumwe chete muhupenyu wakakosha. Chii chiri kundidya?
What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?(Mat. 16:26)
manheru ano, zvakare, ndinoona kukurumidza kudzura chero zvinokanganisa uye zvakaipa zvandichiri kunamatira. Kune nyasha dzakawanda ipapo kuti uzviite… nyasha, ndinotenda, kune chero munhu anokumbira zvechokwadi.
Hapana nguva yekutambisa. Tinofanira kutanga ikozvino kugadzirira zvichauya "sembavha husiku". Uye chii chichauya?
Ane meso, ona; Ndiani ane nzeve, teerera.
THE Ishe vanoona iyo zvido yemwoyo yedu. Anoona chishuwo chedu chekuita zvakanaka.
Uye nekudaro, kunyangwe tichikundikana, uye kunyangwe chitadzo, Anomhanya kuzotimbundira… sekumhanya kwakaita Baba kumumbundira mwanakomana mupambadzi, uyo akafukidzwa nekunyara kwekumukira kwake.
Naizvozvo, Gabrieri akazivisa kuna Maria, "Usatya!"; boka rinobwinya rakazivisa vafudzi, "Musatya!"; vatumwa vaviri vakakurudzira vakadzi paguva, "Musatya!"; uye kuvadzidzi vake mushure mekumuka kwake, Jesu akadzokorora, "Usatya."
KUSVIRA munamato svondo rapfuura iri, ndanga ndakatsauswa mundangariro dzangu zvekuti ndinotadza kunyengetera mutongo ndisina kukukurwa.
Manheru ano, apo ndaifungisisa pamberi pechiitiko chemombe chisina chinhu pakereke, ndakachema kunaIshe kuti ndibatsirwe uye ndinzwire tsitsi. Nekukurumidza senyeredzi inodonha, mazwi acho akauya kwandiri:

KUSVIRA kune zvakasiyana uye vanhu ndizvo zvinodzidziswa nekutenda kwechiKristu, Aihwa, inoda. Zvisinei, izvi hazvirevi “kushivirira” zvivi. '
… [Kwedu] kudana kununura nyika yese kubva kune zvakaipa nekuishandura muna Mwari: nemunamato, nekutendeuka, nerudo, uye, pamusoro pezvose, netsitsi. -Thomas Merton, Hakuna Munhu Chitsuwa
Irwo rudo kusangopfekedza vasina kupfeka, kunyaradza vanorwara, uye kushanyira musungwa, asi kubatsira hama yemumwe kwete kushama, kurwara, kana kusungwa kutanga. Nekudaro, basa reChechi nderekutsanangura izvo zvakaipa, saka zvakanaka zvingasarudzwa.
Rusununguko haruite mukuita zvatinoda, asi mukuva nekodzero yekuita zvatinofanira. —PAPA JOHANI PAURO II
WHEN Ndave ndakasununguka kwenguva kubva kumiyedzo nemiyedzo, ndinobvuma kuti ndakafunga kuti ichi chiratidzo chekukura muhutsvene… pakupedzisira, ndichifamba mumatanho aKristu!
… Kusvika Baba vadzikisa tsoka dzangu pasi kutambudzika. Uye zvakare ndakaona kuti, ndega, ndinongotora nhanho dzevacheche, ndichigumburwa uye ndichirasika.
Mwari haandigadzise nekuti haachandida, kana kundisiya. Asi, saka ndinoziva kuti nhanho huru muhupenyu hwemweya dzinoitwa, kwete kusvetukira kumberi, asi kumusoro, adzokere mumaoko Ake.
