Times Square Paradhiso, naAlexander Chen
WE vari kurarama munguva dzine ngozi. Asi vashoma ndivo vanozviziva. Zvandiri kutaura hazvisi zvekutyisidzira kwehugandanga, kushanduka kwemamiriro ekunze, kana hondo yenyukireya, asi chimwe chinhu chakajeka uye chinonyengera. Ndiko kufambira mberi kwemuvengi akatowana nzvimbo mudzimba zhinji nemwoyo uye ari kugona kuparadza kuparadzwa kunotyisa sezvakunopararira pasi rose:
ruzha.
Ndiri kutaura nezveruzha rwemweya. Ruzha runonzwika zvakanyanya kumweya, ruchivharira pamoyo, zvekuti parunongopinda chete, rwunovharidzira izwi raMwari, runodzima hana, uye runopofomadza maziso kuti aone chokwadi. Iyo ndeimwe yevavengi vane njodzi yenguva yedu nekuti, nepo hondo nemhirizhonga zvichikuvadza muviri, ruzha rwunouraya mweya. Uye mweya wakavharira izwi raMwari unotyira kuti usazombomunzwa zvakare mukusingaperi.
Mheremhere
Muvengi uyu agara akavanda, asi pamwe haatombopfuura nhasi. Mupostori St John akayambira izvozvo ruzha Ndiye mucherechedzo wemweya waantikristu:
Usade nyika kana zvinhu zvepanyika. Kana munhu achida nyika, rudo rwaBaba harusi maari. Kune zvese zviri munyika, kuchiva kwepanyama, kukwezva kwemaziso, uye hupenyu hwekunyepedzera, hazvibvi kuna Baba asi zvinobva munyika. Asi nyika nekunyengera kwayo kuri kupfuura. Asi ani nani anoita kuda kwaMwari anogara nekusingaperi. Vana, yava nguva yekupedzisira; uye sezvamakanzwa kuti anopesana naKristu ari kuuya, saka zvino vanhu vanopesana naKristu vazhinji vaonekwa. (1 Johani 2: 15-18)
Kuchiva kwenyama, kukwezva kwemaziso, hupenyu hwekunyepedzera. Idzi ndidzo nzira dzinoshandiswa nehukuru nemasimba kudzora ruzha kurwisa vanhu vasina fungidziro.
RUZIVO RWECHIVO
Munhu haakwanise kusevha internet, kufamba nepanhandare yendege, kana kungotenga girosari pasina kurwiswa neruzha rweruchiva. Varume, kupfuura vakadzi, vanotapukirwa neizvi nekuti kune mhinduro yakasimba yemakemikari muvarume. Iruzha runotyisa, nekuti harudhonzeri maziso chete, asi muviri chaiwo wemunhu munzira yawo. Kutopa zano nhasi kuti mukadzi akapfeka hafu haana hunhu kana kuti haana kufanira anokwezva kuvhiringidzika kana kusiri kushorwa. Yakave inogamuchirwa munzanga, uye pazera diki nediki, kuita zvepabonde nekufungira muviri. Haisisiri mudziyo wekutumira, kuburikidza nekuzvininipisa uye nerudo, chokwadi chekuti munhu chaiye ndiani, asi chave gudzanzwi rinoburitsa meseji yakatsveyama: kuzadzikiswa ikoko kunouya pakupedzisira kubva kune pabonde uye pabonde, pane Musiki. Ruzha urwu rwoga, zvino rwunotepfenyurwa nemifananidzo yakashata uye mutauro munenge mumativi ose enzanga yazvino uno, riri kuita zvakawanda kuparadza mweya kupfuura zvimwe zvipi nezvipi.
Mheremhere YOKUDZIDZA
Munyika dzokuMadokero zvikurukuru, mheremhere yokudisa zvenyika—kukwezva kwezvinhu zvitsva—yakasvika pamwero wakaoma, asi vashomanene vari kuramba. Ipads, ipods, ibooks, iphone, ifashions, zvirongwa zvekurega basa…. Kunyangwe iwo mazita pachawo anoratidza chimwe chinhu chenjodzi inogona kuvanda kumashure kwekuda kwekunyaradzwa kwemunhu, kurerukirwa uye kuzvifadza. Izvo zvese nezve "ini", kwete hama yangu inoshaya. Kutengeswa kunze kwenyika yekugadzira kune yechitatu nyika 
nyika (dzinowanzo kuunza kusaruramisira mukati mako kuburikidza nemubhadharo unonzwisa tsitsi) kwaunza tsunami yezvinhu zvakachipa, zvichitungamirwa nemafungu ekushambadzira kusingaperi anozviisa wega, uye kwete muvakidzani wemunhu, pamusoro pe totem yezvakakosha.
Asi ruzha rwacho rwakasiyana nerweseri muzuva redu. Indaneti uye tekinoroji isina waya inoramba ichipa huwandu hwakakura hwetsananguro yeruvara rwepamusoro, nhau, makuhwa, mapikicha, mavhidhiyo, zvinhu, masevhisi - zvese mumasekondi. Ndiwo musanganiswa wakakwana wekupenya nekunakisisa kuchengetedza mweya inofarirwa-uye kazhinji matsi kunzara nenyota mumweya yavo yevanopfuura, kuna Mwari.
Hatingarambe kuti shanduko dzinokurumidza kuitika munyika yedu dzinopawo zviratidzo zvinokatyamadza zvekuparadzana uye kudzokera mukuzvisarudzira. Kuwedzera kushandiswa kwekutaurirana kwemagetsi mune zvimwe zviitiko kwakakonzera kuzviparadzanisa nevamwe… —PAPA BENEDICT XVI, hurukuro kuChechi yaSt. Joseph, Kubvumbi 8, 2008, Yorkville, New York; Catholic News Agency
Mheremhere YEMAZWI
St. John anonyevera nezvemuedzo we "kudada kwehupenyu." Izvi hazvingogumiri pakungoda kupfuma kana mukurumbira. Nhasi, zvakatora muedzo wehunyengeri, zvakare, kuburikidza nehunyanzvi. “Social 
networking”, nepo ichiwanzo kushandira kubatanidza shamwari dzekare nemhuri, zvakare inodyisa muunhu hutsva. Nemasevhisi ekutaurirana seFacebook kana Twitter, maitiro ndeekuisa pfungwa dzese uye chiito kunze uko kuti nyika ione, ichikurudzira muitiro uri kukura wenarcissism (kuzvibata). Izvi chaizvoizvo zvinopesana nenhaka yakapfuma yemweya yeVatendi umo kutaura kusina maturo uye zvisina maturo zvinofanira kudziviswa, sezvavanosakurira mweya wenyika nokusangwarira.
CUSTODY YOMWOYO
Ehezve, ruzha rwese urwu harufanire kutariswa sekushata. Muviri wemunhu uye zvebonde zvipo zvinobva kuna Mwari, kwete chinonyadzisa kana chakasvibisa chipingamupinyi. Zvinhu zvepanyama hazvina kunaka kana kushata, ivo vanongova… kusvikira tazviisa paartari yemoyo yedu tichivaita zvidhori. Uye iyo internet inogona zvakare kushandiswa zvakanaka.
Mumba maNazareta uye mushumiro yaJesu, maivepo 
nguva dzose ruzha rwekumashure kwenyika. Jesu akatopinda “mugomba reshumba,” achidya nevateresi nemahure. Asi akaita saizvozvo nokuti Aigara achitsigira Kuchengetwa kwemoyo. St. Paul akanyora,
Musazvifananidza nezera rino asi mushandurwe nekuvandudzwa kwepfungwa dzenyu… (VaR. 12: 2)
Kuchengetwa kwemoyo kunoreva kuti ini handina kugadzikana pazvinhu zvepasi, pakuenderana nenzira dzayo dzisiri dzamwari, asi paHumambo, nzira dzaMwari. Zvinoreva kuwana zvekare zvinoreva hupenyu uye kuenzanisa zvibodzwa zvangu kwazviri…
… Ngatibvisei pese patinoremerwa uye nezvivi zvinonamatira patiri uye nekushingirira kumhanya mujaho uri pamberi pedu takatarisa maziso edu akatarisa kuna Jesu, mutungamiri nemukwanisi wekutenda. (VaH 12: 1-2)
Mumhiko dzedu dzekubhabhatidzwa, tinovimbisa “kuramba kunaka kwezvakaipa, uye kuramba kutongwa nechivi.” Kuchengeta mwoyo kunoreva kudzivisa danho rekutanga rinouraya: kukweverwa murunako rwehuipi, urwo, kana tikatora chirauro, runotungamira mukukundwa nacho.
… Wese anoita zvivi muranda wechivi. (Johani 8:34)
Jesu akafamba pakati pavanhu vane zvitadzo, asi akachengeta mwoyo wake usina kusvibiswa nokuramba achitanga kutsvaka kuda kwaBaba. Akafamba muchokwadi chokuti vakadzi vakanga vasiri zvishongo, asi ratidzirwo dzomufananidzo Wake amene; muzvokwadi yokuti zvinhu zvokunyama zvinofanira kushandiswa nokuda kwembiri yaMwari nezvakanaka zvavamwe; uye nokuva mudiki, anozvininipisa, uye akavanzika, munyoro uye munyoro womwoyo, Jesu akadzivisa simba renyika norukudzo izvo vamwe vangadai vakapa paAri.
KUCHENGA KUCHENGA CHENJERA
MuMutemo weKuzvidemba wegamuchidzanwa unonamatwa muKureurura kwesakaramende, munhu anotsunga 'kusazotadzazve uye kudzivisa chiitiko chiri pedyo chechivi.' Kuchengeta mwoyo kunoreva kudzivisa kwete chete chitadzo pachacho, asi iyo misungo inozivikanwa kwazvo inogona kundikonzera kuwira muchivi. “Gadzira hapana zvekupa nyama,” akadaro St. Paul (ona Iyo Tiger muCage.) Shamwari yangu inoti ava nemakore asingadyi zviwitsi kana kunwa doro. “Ndine unhu hwakapindwa muropa,” akadaro. "Kana ndikadya keki imwe chete, ndinoda bhegi rose." Kutendeseka kunozorodza. Murume anonzvenga kunyange nhambo iri pedyo yechivi—uye unogona kuona rusununguko mumeso ake.
Chido
Makore akawanda apfuura, mumwe waanoshanda naye akaroora akanga achichiva vakadzi vaipfuura. Achiona kutadza kwangu kuita chimwe chinhu, akaridza ngonono achiti, “Munhu anogona kuramba akatarisa pamenu pasina kuhodha!” Asi Jesu akataura chimwe chinhu chakasiyana zvikuru:
… Wese anotarisa mukadzi nekuchiva atoita upombwe naye mumoyo make. (Mat. 5:28)
Sei, mutsika yedu yekuona zvinonyadzisira, murume angadzivisa sei kuwira muchivi chehupombwe nemaziso ake? Mhinduro ndeyekuisa menyu kure 
pamwechete. Chokutanga, vakadzi havasi zvinhu, zvinhu zvokuva nazvo. Iwo maratidziro akaisvonaka oMusiki Woumwari: hunhu hwavo hwevatano, hunoratidzirwa sechigadziko chembeu inopa upenyu, mufananidzo weChechi, muganhu weShoko raMwari rinopa upenyu. Nokudaro, kunyange chipfeko chisina mwero kana kuti chitarisiko chevatano musungo; ndiko kutsvedza kunotungamira kukuda kuwanda. Chinodiwa, ipapoka, kuchengeta kuchengetwa kwemaziso:
Rambi remuviri iziso. Kana ziso rako rakanaka, muviri wako wose uchazara nechiedza. asi kana ziso rako rakaipa, muviri wako wose uchava murima. (Mat. 6: 22-23)
Ziso "rakaipa" kana tikaribvumira kupenya ne "kunaka kwezvakaipa": kana tikaribvumira kudzungaira mukamuri, kana tikatarisa zvivharo zvemagazini, mapikicha epa internet, kana kuona mafirimu kana zviratidzo zvisina kunaka. .
Dzora meso ako pamukadzi wakanaka; usatarira runako rwomukadzi womumwe, nekuti nokuda kworunako rwomukadzi vazhinji vanoparara, nokuti ruchiva runopfuta somoto. (Siraki 9:8)
Ipapo haisi nyaya yokungodzivisa zvinonyadzisira, asi marudzi ose okusachena. Zvinoreva-kune vamwe varume vanoverenga izvi-shanduko yakakwana yepfungwa pamusoro pekuti vakadzi vanoonekwa sei uye kunyangwe maonere atinoita isu pachedu-zvisirizvo zvatinopembedza izvo, muchokwadi, zvinotiteya, uye zvinotikwevera munhamo yechivi.
Kunyanya kuda pfuma
Mumwe aigona kunyora bhuku nezvehurombo. Asi St. Paul pamwe anopfupikisa zvakanyanya.
kana tine zvokudya nezvokufuka, tichagutsikana nazvo. Avo vanoda kupfuma vanowira mukuidzwa nomumusungo nomukuchiva kwoupenzi kuzhinji kunokuvadza, zvinovanyudza mukuparadzwa nokuparadzwa. ( 1 Tim. 6:8-9 )
Tinorasikirwa nekuchengetwa kwemoyo nekugara tichitenga-tarisa kune chimwe chinhu chiri nani, chechinhu chakanakisa chinotevera. 
Mumwe weMirairo ndeye kusachiva zvinhu zvemuvakidzani wangu. Chikonzero, Jesu akayambira, ndechekuti munhu haagoni kupatsanura moyo wake pakati paMwari nepfuma (pfuma).
Hakuna munhu anogona kushandira vatenzi vaviri. Angavenga mumwe agoda mumwe, kana kuti anozvipira kune mumwe uye agozvidza mumwe. (Mat. 6:24)
Kuchengeta kuchengetwa kwemoyo kunoreva kuwana, kune chikamu chikuru, izvo isu vanoda pane izvo isu chido, kwete kuunganidza asi kugovana nevamwe, kunyanya varombo.
Hupfumi hwakawandisa hwawakaunganidza ukatendera kuti huve pawaifanira kunge wakavapa varombo, hanzu dzakashata dzawaive nadzo ukasarudza kuona dzichidyiwa nezvipfukuto pane kupfeka varombo, nendarama nesirivheri iwe wakasarudza kuona nhema mukusashanda pane kupedzera chikafu chevarombo, izvi zvinhu zvese, ndinoti, zvichakupupurira pazuva reKutongwa. —St. Robert Bellarmine, Huchenjeri hweVatsvene, Jill Haakadels, p. 166
Kufungidzira
Kuchengetwa kwemoyo kunoreva zvakare kutarisa pamusoro pemashoko edu, kuve nawo kuchengeta ndimi dzedu. Nokuti rurimi rune simba rokuvaka kana kuparadza, kuteya kana kusunungura. Kazhinji kazhinji, tinoshandisa rurimi nokuda kworudado, tichitaura (kana kuti kutaipa) ichi kana icho tichitarisira kuzviita kuti tiratidzike kuva vanokosha zvikuru kupfuura zvatiri, kana kuti kufadza vamwe, kuwana tendero yavo. Dzimwe nguva, tinongoburitsa madziro emazwi kuti tizvivaraidze nekutaura zvisina basa.
Pane izwi mukunamata kwechiCatholic rinonzi "recollection". Zvinoreva kungorangarira kuti ndinogara ndiri pamberi paMwari, uye kuti ndiye vavariro yangu nguva dzose uye kuzadzikiswa kwezvishuwo zvangu zvose. Zvinoreva kuziva kuti kuda Kwake ndiko kudya kwangu, uye kuti, semuranda Wake, ndakadanwa kuti ndiMutevere munzira yerudo. Kurangarira zvino, kunoreva kuti “ndinozviunganidza” pandinenge ndarasikirwa nokuchengeta mwoyo wangu, ndichivimba netsitsi Dzake neruregerero, uye zvakare kuzvipira pachangu kumuda nokuMushumira mu. nguva iripo nemoyo wangu wese, mweya, pfungwa, uye simba.
Panyaya yesocial network, tinofanira kungwarira. Kuzvininipisa here kunamira mapikicha angu anorova zvisina maturo? Pandino “tweet” vamwe, ndiri kutaura chimwe chinhu chakakosha here kana kuti kwete? Ndiri kukurudzira makuhwa here kana kutambisa nguva yevamwe?
Ndinokuudza, pazuva rekutongwa vanhu vachazvidavirira pamashoko ese asina hanya avanotaura. (Mat. 12:36)
Funga nezvemoyo wako sechoto. Muromo wako ndiwo mukova. Pese paunovhura musuwo, urikurega kupisa kuchibuda. Paunovhara musuwo, uchiramba uchirangarira pamberi paMwari, moto werudo Rwake rweVamwari unoramba uchipisa uye uchiwedzera kuti, kana nguva yacho yakwana, mazwi ako anogona kushanda kuvaka, kusunungura, uye kufambisa kupora kwevamwe- ku kudziya vamwe norudo rwaMwari. Panguva idzodzo, kunyangwe tichitaura, nekuti iri muizwi reRudo, rinobatira kupisa moto mukati. Zvikasadaro, mweya wedu, uye wevamwe, unotonhora patinochengeta suo rakazaruka mukutaura kusina zvakunoreva kana kuti kusinganzwisisike.
Unzenza kana kusachena kupi nekupi kana makaro hazvifanire kutaurwa pakati penyu, sezvakakodzera pakati pevatsvene, hapana zvinonyadzisa kana zvinyengeri kana kutaura kwenyonganiso, kuri kunze kwenzvimbo, asi panzvimbo pezvo, kuonga. (VaEfeso 5: 3-4)
Vatorwa NEVANHU VASHANDI
Kuchengeta kuchengetedza kwemoyo kunzwika kwekunze uye kunopesana netsika. Tiri kurarama munyika inokurudzira vanhu kuti vaedze zviito zvebonde nemararamiro akawanda, kuzviputira paYouTube pese, kutsvaga kuve kuimba kana kutamba “Idhori”, uye “kushivirira” chero chinhu uye chero ani zvake (kunze kwevaKatorike vanoshingaira) . Mukuramba rudzi urwu rworuzha, Jesu akati taizoratidzika sechienzi mumeso enyika; kuti vaizotitambudza, vatinyomba, vatisarudze nokutivenga nokuti chiedza muvatendi chaizoratidza rima mune vamwe.
Nekuti umwe neumwe unoita zvakaipa unovenga chiedza, uye haauyi pachiedza, kuti mabasa ake arege kuratidzwa pachena. (Johani 3:20)
Kuchengeta tarisiro yomwoyo, ipapoka, haisati iri imwe tsika yechinyakare yamazera akapfuura, asi inzira isingachinji, yechokwadi, uye nhete inoenda Kudenga. Kungoti vashoma vanoda kuitora, kuramba ruzha kuti vanzwe inzwi raMwari rinotungamirira kuupenyu husingaperi.
Nokuti pane pfuma yako, ndipo pachavawo nemwoyo wako… Pindai nesuwo rakamanikana; nekuti suwo rakafara nenzira yakapamhamha inoenda kukuparadzwa, uye vazhinji vanopinda naro. Suo rakamanikana sei uye nzira yakamanikana inoenda kuupenyu. Uye vanoiwana vashoma. ( Mateu 6:21; 7:13-14 )
Rudo rwezvinhu zvepanyika imhando yenguva yeshiri, iyo inosunga mweya uye ichidzivirira kuti ibhururukire kuna Mwari. —Augustine weMvuu, Huchenjeri hweVatsvene, Jill Haakadels, p. 164
