DO iwe unonyatsoda kuona shanduko muhupenyu hwako? Iwe unonyatsoda here kuona simba raMwari iro rinoshandura uye rinosunungura munhu kubva kumasimba echivi? Hazviitike zvega. Hakuna davi rinokwanisa kukura kunze kwekunge ratora kubva pamuzambiringa, kana mwana achangoberekwa anogona kurarama kunze kwekunge ayamwa. Hupenyu hutsva muna Kristu kuburikidza nekubhabhatidzwa hausi mugumo; ndiko kutanga. Asi mweya yakawanda sei inofunga kuti izvo zvakakwana!
HUNYANYA HWENYAYA HURI KUuraya VAKRISTU
Mukubhabhatidza, tinoitwa chisikwa chitsva. Takachenurwa muzvivi uye tikaitwa vakakwana. Asi zvinoita sekunge tiri zvarwa mumutsetse wekubhabhatidza. Isu tinongova vacheche vanofanirwa kukura nekukura…
… Kudzamara isu tese tasvika pakubatana kwekutenda neruzivo rweMwanakomana waMwari, kusvika pahunhu hwakakura, kusvika pachimiro chakazara chaKristu, kuti tirege kuramba tiri vacheche, tinokandirwa nemafungu uye tichipepetwa nemhepo dzese yekudzidzisa kunobva mukunyengera kwevanhu, kubva kunenjere kwavo mukuda kwekunyengera kwekunyengera. (VaEfeso 4: 13-14)
Chirwere chinotyisa muChechi, kunyanya munyika dzekuMadokero, kwave kusagadzikana kwekutenda, kuchengetedza chimiro uye kuchisemesa chero chinhu chingashora icho. Chero bedzi paunouya kuMisa musi weSvondo, unogona kuzvirova musana uye kuzvikorokotedza "nekuita zvinopfuura zvizhinji." Kana kuenda kuMisa yaive tikiti rekuenda Kudenga, saka nenzira dzese, nei uchinetsekana nekuita zvimwe?
Asi haisi tikiti. Muchokwadi, kune vamwe, ichave iri kunyunyuta- kuti mushure mekupihwa zvakawanda, takaita zvishoma. Asi, muchokwadi, makwai anga ariwo yakapihwa zvishoma. Mapurpiti munzvimbo zhinji akanyarara pakutsanangura kutenda kweKaturike; minyengetero, yakadai seRosary, yakadzoserwa kuchinyakare pamwe chete netsika yokuremekedza nounyanzvi hutsvene; uye maSakaramende mune dzimwe nzvimbo ave chimwe chinhu chatinoita, pane kusangana. Nekuda kweizvozvo, pakave nekurasikirwa kwakawanda kwenzara yaMwari, yekuda Chokwadi, uye kushingairira mweya; maKristu mazhinji munyika yanhasi vakaramba vari vacheche, uye chii chakanyanya kurwadza, "vacheche, vanokandwa nemafungu uye vanofutwa nemhepo yese yedzidziso inomuka kubva mukunyengera kwevanhu ..."
Kuva nekutenda kwakajeka, zvinoenderana nechikumbiro cheChechi, kunowanzo kunzi ndiko kwechokwadi. Asi, kuzvidzora, ndiko kuti, kurega uchikandwa uye 'uchipeperetswa nemhepo ipi neipi yedzidziso', kunoratidzika kungori chimiro chega chinogamuchirwa kumipimo yanhasi. —Cardinal Ratzinger (PAPA BENEDICT XVI) pre-conclave Homily, Kubvumbi 18, 2005
Kuva muKristu hazvirevi kuve nhengo yechimwe kirabhu, asi kuchinja zvachose mararamiro ehupenyu. Zvinoreva kugadziridzwa kwakazara kwemararamiro ako zvinoenderana nemaitiro nyowani, maitiro matsva ekuve. Ehe, zvine mutsindo. Zviri ropa zvakanyanyisa! Nekuti zvakaitwa nekudeurwa kweropa raKristu. Jesu akafira paMuchinjikwa kukusunungura kubva musimba rerufu kuti ugone kurarama zvechokwadi, uve mupenyu zvizere. Mumwe murume akafira iwe. Izvi zvingava sei chinhu chidiki, chinhu "chakanaka", chakavanzika? Zviri ari chinhu. Inofanira kuve musimboti wehupenyu hwako, musimboti wemifungo yako, simba riri shure kwezviito zvako zvese. Kana zvisiri, saka ndiwe ani? Ndiwe here murume kana mukadzi akasikwa naMwari kuti uve, kana achiri mucheche akabvutwa nenyika?
Pfeka Pfungwa dzaKristu
Ini ndakakunyorera kare nezvekuva ne Mwoyo waMwari uye kuva Chiso cheRudo kune vamwe. Asi hausi mweya nemuviri chete; iwe zvakare une mweya. Ndiyo nzvimbo iyo panogara kuda nehungwaru. Kuda Ishe Mwari wako nemoyo wako wese, nemweya wako wese, uye nesimba rako rose (Deut 6: 5) kuenzanisa kukwana kwako kuzere naye. Izvi zvinoreva kuti iwe unofanirwawo kuisa pfungwa dzaKristu.
Jesu anoratidza kuti izvi zvinorevei. Paaingova mukomana mudiki, Jesu akangoerekana asiya vabereki Vake:
Mushure memazuva matatu vakamuwana mutembere, akagara pakati pevadzidzisi, achivateerera, achivabvunza mibvunzo… (Ruka 2:46)
Kana Jesu, Mwari-Munhu, akaona zvakafanira kutsvaga vadzidzisi uye kuwana mhinduro, zvakadii isu, vane pfungwa dzakasviba nehunhu hwevanhu, tinoda chiedza chezivo kuti tiratidze nzira yatinofanira kutora?
Iwe wakaudzwa, haiwa iwe murume, chii chakanaka, uye izvo zvinodiwa naJehovha kwauri: chete kuti uite zvakanaka uye ude zvakanaka, uye kufamba uchizvininipisa naMwari wako. (Mika 6: 8)
Chii chakarurama? Chii chakanaka? Tiri kurarama munyika inotinwisa makondomu, mapiritsi ekudzivirira kubereka, matekinoroji ekubereka, dzimwe nzira dzekuroora, kubvisa nhumbu, uye runyorwa rwuri kukura rwehunhu hwakaomarara. Chii chakarurama? Chii chakanaka? MuKristu anofanira kupfeka pfungwa yaKristu, nekuti zviito zvehunhu zvinounza hupenyu-kana rufu. Tinofanira kudzima terevhizheni uye kutanga kukura "muzivo yeMwanakomana waMwari" kuti tigone kurarama.
Saka ndinotaura uye ndinopupura muna She kuti hamuchazorarama savaHedheni, mukusava nepfungwa kwavo. vakasviba mukunzwisisa, vakaparadzaniswa nehupenyu hwaMwari nekuda kwekusaziva kwavo, uye nekuda kwekuoma kwemoyo yavo, vakaoma moyo uye vakazvipa kuhunhu hwekuita kwese kusachena. Haisi iyo nzira yawakadzidza nayo Kristu, uchifungidzira kuti iwe wakanzwa nezvake uye wakadzidziswa maari, sezvo chokwadi chiri muna Jesu, kuti iwe ubvise hunhu hwekare hwehupenyu hwako hwekare, wakashatiswa nekuchiva kwekunyengera, uye uvandudzwe mumweya wepfungwa dzenyu, uye mufuke munhu mutsva, akasikwa nenzira yaMwari mukururama uye noutsvene hwechokwadi. (VaEfeso 4: 17-24)
Shanduko NEMPFUNGWA
Muono waSt.Paul wekushanduka pamweya wakazvarwa. Haagare pasi akangomirira kuti Mwari amushandure. Asi, anotikurudzira kuti tivandudze pfungwa dzedu.
Musazvifananidza nezera rino, asi mushandurwe nekuvandudzwa kwepfungwa dzenyu, kuti muzive chiri kuda kwaMwari, zvakanaka, zvinofadza uye zvakakwana. (VaR. 12: 2)
Saka maKristu mazhinji nhasi anoumbwa naOprah Winfrey kana wekupedzisira-wekubatsira guru pane naAmai vavo, Chechi. Vanoteerera vadzidzisi venhema avo vanofadza nzeve dzavo nekodhi dzeDa Vinci, fungidziro, uye hunyengeri husiri hwechokwadi pane chokwadi chingavasunungura. Ivo dzimwe nguva vakaita vacheche vanosarudza zvihwitsi pane chikafu chine hutano.
Ngakurege kuva nemunhu anokunyengera namashoko asina maturo… Kunyangwe iwe uchifanira kuve vadzidzisi panguva ino, unofanirwa kuve nemumwe munhu anokudzidzisa zvakare zvekutanga zvekutaura kwaMwari Iwe unoda mukaka, uye kwete chikafu chakasimba. Wese munhu anorarama nemukaka haana ruzivo rweizwi rechokwadi
usness, nekuti mwana. Asi chikafu chakasimba ndechevanhu vakuru, kune avo vane hunyanzvi hwakadzidziswa nemaitiro ekuziva zvakanaka nezvakaipa. (VaEfe 5: 6; VaH 5: 12-14)
Tinofanira kudzidza "nekudzidzira" kusiyanisa pakati pezvakanaka nezvakaipa. Tinoita izvi, anodaro St. Paul, nekutora "pfungwa dzose dzakatapwa kuteerera Kristu " (2 VaK. 10: 5). Uku kusefa, zvisinei, hakusi kuzviisa pasi. Chokwadi hachisi chimwe chinhu chatinosarudza nekuti "Ndakanamata ndikafunga nezvazvo." Chokwadi chakadzika mumutemo wepanyama uye mukuzarurirwa kwetsika kwaJesu, sekupihwa kuChechi kwake, uye kuchizarurirwa kuburikidza neMweya Mutsvene. Kunyangwe Mweya unongotaura chete izvo zvakapihwa:
… Kana auya, Mweya wechokwadi, achakutungamira kuchokwadi chose. Haazotauri zvake, asi achataura zvaanonzwa… (Johane 16:13).
Kuziviswa kwaKristu, kuziviswa kweHumambo hwaMwari kunofungidzira kuteerera kuzwi rake muzwi reChechi. "Haatauri zvake" zvinoreva: kutaura muchinangwa cheChechi…-Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), Ihwo Evhangeri Idzva, Kuvaka Huchengetedzo rweRudo; Kero kune maKatekisiti uye Vadzidzisi vechitendero, Zvita 12, 2000
MWARI ANOKUFUNGA
Kuva nepfungwa dzaKristu kuve nepfungwa dzeChechi. Pfungwa dzeChechi ndidzo pfungwa dzaKristu. Haana kupatsanurwa neMuviri wake sezvo iwe usingakwanise kupatsanurwa mukufunga kwako kubva kumusoro. Asi pane chimwe chinhu chakadzama uye chakawedzera pano. Mwari anoda kutaura naye iwe, mumoyo mako (ona Mwari Anotaura… kwandiri?). Kupfeka iyo pfungwa yaKristu ndiko pamusoro pezvose kuuya kwa ziva pfungwa dzaMwari-kuziva Moyo Wake. Izvi zvinoshamisa, hongu, nekuti Mwari anoda kuzarurira Hunhu hwake hwemukati kwauri. Vanoda kuti ugare mumatunhu eMoyo wavo iro ziso harina kuona, nenzeve harina kunzwa, nezvisina kupinda mumoyo wemunhu, zvakagadzirirwa naMwari avo vanomuda"(1 VaK. 2: 9). Anoda kukupa Huchenjeri, huchenjeri husingazivikanwe nenyika. Anoda kuti mumwe nemumwe wevanhu vake ave asinganzwisisike. zvenguva yekuenda mukusingaperi, uyo anotora nguva yekutarisa mumaziso aRudo.Izvi zvinogoneka, kune imwe nhanho kana imwe, kune mumwe muKristu mumwe chete.
… Kuti Kristu agare mumwoyo yenyu nokutenda; kuti imi, makadzika midzi uye makadzika murudo, muve nesimba rekuziva pamwe nevatsvene vese kufara nekureba nekukwirira nekudzika, nekuziva rudo rwaKristu runopfuura ruzivo, kuti muzadzwe kuzara kwaMwari. (VaEfeso 3: 17-19)
Ruzivo urwu runouya chete kwauri se, zuva nezuva, iwe tanga kutsvaga Humambo hwaMwari, kushandisa nguva yenguva dzose mumunamato, kuvhura moyo wako kune Mumwe ndiani achataura newe. Iye achataura kwauri, pamusoro pezvose, muIzwi rake, iro Gwaro Dzvene, iro iro kana richigamuchirwa semwana mudiki, rine simba rekukuchinja nekukushandura. Asi sebazi rinofanira kukweva muto kubva pamuzambiringa, kana mucheche, mukaka kubva kuna mai vake, unofanira kuzvishandira pakuratidza kwaMwari kuburikidza kuzvininipisa, munamato, uye kuteerera.
Kufungisisa kutarisa kwekutenda, kwakanangidzirwa pana Jesu. "Ndinomutarisa uye iye anonditarisa"… Kufungisisa kunotenderera zvakare kutarisa pazvakavanzika zvehupenyu hwaKristu. Saka inodzidza iyo "zivo yemukati yaIshe wedu," kunyanya kumuda uye kumutevera. -Katekisimo yeChechi yeKaturike, n. 2715
Izwi raMwari-kuteerera nekufungisisa paIzwi raMwari kusangana kwezuva nezuva ne "iyo inopfuura zivo yaJesu Kristu". Kanzuru "inokurudzira zvine simba uye zvakananga vatenderi vese vechiKristu, kunyanya avo vanorarama hupenyu hwechitendero, kuti vadzidze ruzivo rwakanyanya" (Dei Verbum 25). —Eduardo Kadhinari Pironio, Mutungamiriri, Iyo Yekufungidzira Dimension yeRudzidziso Hupenyu, 4-7 Kurume 1980; www.haav.va
