PHA Isicwangciso esikhulu kude emva kweLenten Retreat ethe uninzi lwenu lwathatha inxaxheba kulo. Ubizo kweli lixa lokuthandaza ngamandla, ukuvuselelwa kwengqondo nokunyaniseka kwiLizwi likaThixo Ukulungiselela uLawulo-Ukulawula kobukumkani bukaThixo nasemhlabeni, njengasezulwini.
UNGABUVUMELI UBUBI BUKUPHazamise
Kwakungo-2002, xa ndandihamba kwindlela ende emantla eKhanada, ngequbuliso ndeva la mazwi:
Ndiphakamise I restrainer.
Andizange ndiyazi ukuba kuthetha ukuthini oku. Kodwa kamva ngobo busuku, ndavula ibhayibhile yam ngqo kwi-2 KwabaseTesalonika Isahluko 2 apho ithetha ngexesha lokuchasana nomthetho okwakuza, enkulu uwexuko enokufikelela kwiziqhamo kwi ongenamthetho nje ukuba uThixo asuse “umbambisi” Ubhishophu waseCanada wandicela ukuba ndibhale malunga noku, ukuze ufunde okungakumbi malunga noku apha: Ukususa isithintelo.
Ukusukela ngelo xesha, sibukele okwenyani kuqhuma urhwaphilizo phantse kuzo zonke iinkalo zoluntu. Oko kukuthi ukuchas 'umthetho, ngakumbi ukugwetywa komthetho, kuthintelwe kule yure (yabona Ilixa lokuchas 'umthetho).
Kodwa mamelani, bazalwana noodade abathandekayo, ukuba ukuchasana nomthetho kuya kuzanda kwaye ububi buzimilise phantse kuzo zonke iintlobo ezinokuthelekelelwa, njengoko sele kunjalo… kulungile ukuba sijongane ebusweni? Ukuchitha ixesha elaneleyo ucinga ngezinto ezimbi kuyakuguqula ingqondo yakho: ukusuka kuloyiko ukuya kolunye. Hayi, iyeza lokuqinisekisa ukuba umchasi kristu umele acinge ngalo UYesu. Kwaye yayiyinto ebalulekileyo yeLenten Retreat.
Kodwa ngoku, khawuphakamise amehlo akho, uze ubone ukuba yintoni eza… i Ulawulo lukaYesu.
IXESHA Lothando
Kule nkulungwane idlulileyo, isigqubuthelo besisenyuka ngakumbi njengoko uThixo ethumela abathunywa—Abaprofeti, ukusinceda ukuba siqonde oko sele kutyhilwe kwiSityhilelo esingcwele kunye neNkcubeko eNgcwele, kodwa engakhange iqondwe ngokupheleleyo.
… Nokuba isiTyhilelo sele sigqityiwe, asicaciswanga ngokucacileyo; Ihlala ikukholo lobuKristu ngokuthe ngcembe ukuze ikubambe ngokupheleleyo ukubaluleka kokuhamba kweenkulungwane.-IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-66
Omnye wale miphefumlo, uMkhonzi kaThixo uLuisa Piccarreta, ethobela, wabhala imiqulu yamazwi kaKrestu awathethwayo kuye, izityhilelo ezibonisa ubunzulu bentliziyo yakhe nothando olunzulu ngoluntu — uthando oluza kuqhutyelwa phambili Ixesha elizayo:
Ah, ntombi yam, esi sidalwa sihlala sibaleka ngakumbi ebubini. Zingaphi iindlela zentlekele abazilungisayo! Baya kuhamba ke, bade bazibhinqise ebubini. Kodwa bathi besazibhokoxa ekuhambeni kwabo, ndiya kuzibandakanya ekuphelisweni nasekugqibeleleni kwam I-Fiat Voluntas Tua (“Intando yakho mayenziwe”) ukuze intando yam ilawule emhlabeni-kodwa ngendlela entsha. Ah ewe, ndifuna ukudanisa umntu kuThando! Ke ngoko mamela. Ndifuna wena nam ukuba nilungiselele lo Mhla woMumo wezulu kunye nothando lobuthixo… —UYesu waya kuMkhonzi kaThixo, uLuisa Piccarreta, kwiMibhalo-ngqangi, Feb 8th, 1921; isicatshulwa esivela Ubungangamsha beNdalo, UMfu Joseph Iannuzzi, iphe. 80
Kutheni le nto uYesu wasifundisa ukuba sithandaze, “Mabufike ubukumkani bakho, makwenziwe ukuthanda kwakho nasemhlabeni, njengokuba kusenziwa emazulwini” ukuba bekungenjalo? Ewe, suku ngalunye kunokuba njalo… kodwa iNkosi ikwanenjongo yokuba kubenjalo kude kuse eziphelweni zehlabathi.
Kwaye ezi ndaba zilungileyo zobukumkani ziya kuvakaliswa kulo elimiweyo liphela, zibe bubungqina kuzo zonke iintlanga; kwandule ke ukufika ukuphela. (Mat 24:14)
Kuba ukuthanda kukaThixo kufana nembewu ehambisa ngaphakathi kuyo amandla okudala akhulelweyo, anyanzeliswa, kwaye andisa uMhlaba. Ngapha koko, ukuthanda kukaThixo kwaba ukwimo yomntu: ilizwi waba yinyama ukuze ilizwe eliwileyo likwazi ukutsalwa lize liBuntu bukaYesu Krestu kwaye lenze ntsha ngokupheleleyo. Kungoko, ngokumanya kwethu kulo Nyama wenziwe ngeLizwi, umntu ngamnye kuthi uya kuba sisidalwa esitsha, kwaye ngokuguqulwa komzimba wonke kaKristu, iBandla, indalo ngokwayo iyakuba namava amandla akhululayo oMnqamlezo…
… Ngethemba lokuba nayo indalo ngokwayo iya kukhululwa ebukhobokeni bokonakala, ibe nenxaxheba enkululekweni yozuko lwabantwana bakaThixo. Siyazi ukuba yonke indalo iyancwina inenimba kwada kwaba ngoku… (Roma 8: 21-22)
Ke ngoko, okuzayo kwihlabathi ayisosiphelo; ayikokuphela kobomi emhlabeni okubonakala ngathi uSathana kunye namaxhoba akhe bazimisele ukukuzisa. 
Endaweni yoko, kukudubula kweenyibiba zoMnqamlezo, ekugqibeleni ityhila loMtshakazi kaKrestu elungiselela ukubuya kukaYesu esebuqaqawulini "Ukuze azizise phambi kwakhe icawe ngobuqaqawuli, ingenabala okanye mibimbi okanye nantoni na enjalo, ukuze ibe ngcwele, ingenasiphako." [1]I-Eph 5: 27 INgcwele uJohn Paul II yathetha ngolu lubabalo luzayo apho iBandla liza kuthweswa isithsaba ngaphambi kokuphela kwexesha:
NguThixo ngokwakhe owalungiselela ukuzisa ubungcwele "obutsha nobungcwele" apho uMoya Oyingcwele unqwenela ukucebisa amaKristu ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yesithathu, ukwenzela "ukumenza uKristu intliziyo yehlabathi." -POPE JOHN PAUL II, Idilesi eya kubaseki beRogationist, n. 6, www.vatican.va
UKULUNGISELELA UKULAWULA
Kungoko "iintlungu zomsebenzi" zeli xesha langoku, eziza kuxhalabisa zonke izizwe, kodwa zilungiselela ulawulo lukaYesu Krestu ukuya eziphelweni zomhlaba xa eya kuba "yintliziyo yehlabathi." Ukusebenza nomzimba kaKristu kukwayiNkosikazi yethu, uMlamli wobabalo, uMfazi weSityhilelo 12 okhulelweyo kwaye ukulungele ukuzala lonke UKristu, oko kukuthi, iiNtlanga kunye namaJuda. Uyasebenza kweli "xesha lobabalo" ukuze sifumane "ubabalo lobabalo":
Lubabalo lokundifundisa, lokuphila nokukhula emphefumlweni wakho, ungaze ulushiye, ukuba ube ngumnini kunye nelungelo lokufumana ubunini bakho ngento enye. Ndim endiwunxibelelanisa nomphefumlo wakho kuxinzelelo olungenakuqondwa: lubabalo lweendawo zobumbeko ... Yinto yomanyano olufana nolomanyano lwasezulwini, ngaphandle kwalomhlaba isigqubuthelo esifihlela ubuThixo inyamalala… —UYesu kuKonchita Ohloniphekileyo, Isithsaba kunye nokuGqitywa kwako konke ukungcwatywa, nguDaniel O'Connor, iphe. 11-12; nb. URonda Chervin, Hamba nam, Yesu
Oko sithetha ngako apha ayisiyiyo yakudala ingqumbo Millenarianism okanye amasebe awo (jonga I-Millenarianism-Iyintoni, kwaye ayikho). Kwaye ayikokuza kukaYesu enyameni yakhe ezukileyo ekupheleni kwexesha, kodwa ukuza kukaYesu ukuze alawule kwabangcwele baKhe ngendlela entsha, kodwa nangoku ugqibelele kwaye 
Izipho ezisebenzayo azinike iCawe, ezizezi, iiSakramente. Oku kwaqinisekiswa yi Magisterium kwi Theological Commission yango 1952
Ukuba phambi kwesiphelo sokugqibela kuya kubakho ixesha, elingaphezulu okanye elingaphantsi, lobungcwele boyiso, eso siphumo asizukuziswa kukuvela komntu onguKrestu kuKhulu kodwa ngokusebenza kwala magunya okungcwaliswa ngoku kuyasebenza, uMoya oyiNgcwele kunye neSakramente zeCawa. -Imfundiso yeCawa yamaKatolika: Isishwankathelo semfundiso yamaKatolika, London Burns Oates & Washbourne, iphe. 1140, evela kwiKhomishini yezeNkolo ka-1952, eluxwebhu olunguMantyi. [2]Njengokuba lo msebenzi ukhankanyiweyo uqinisekisa ukutywinwa kweCawa, okt nangemvume kwaye i hayi obstat, ngumsebenzi weMagisterium. Xa ubishophu ngamnye enikezela ngokusesikweni ngokusesikweni kweCawe, kwaye nokuba uPapa okanye umzimba webhishophu awuchasanga nokunikezelwa kwetywina, sisenzo seMagisterium esiqhelekileyo.
Ke ngoko, ukuba uKristu uza kuba, phambi kwesiphelo sezinto zonke, abe "yintliziyo yehlabathi," ngokuchanekileyo Intliziyo yakhe Uya kuba ngukumkani kude kuse eziphelweni zehlabathi. Intliziyo Engcwele kaYesu, ethe yagqobhoza usindiso loluntu, iyinyani kwaye iyinyani Umthendeleko. Ngapha koko, ukuhlala kwintando kaThixo kukuphila kwiLizwi likaThixo; kwaye uYesu nguye ILizwi lenziwe inyama, Lowo wathi:
Ndim isonka esiphilileyo, esi sehlayo emazulwini. Lowo usidlayo esi sonka, uya kuphila ngonaphakade. ke isonka endiya kumnika sona mna, siyinyama yam, endiya kuyidla ubomi behlabathi. (UYohane 6:51)
Ubomi behlabathi yi-Eucharist, kanye nentliziyo yomntu ubomi yomzimba. Khumbula amazwi kaKristu: Okwam ukutya kukuba ndenze ukuthanda kowandithumayo, ndiwufeze umsebenzi wakhe. [3]John 4: 34 Kuba u Yesu “liLizwi likaBawo”, uMthendeleko ngoko nangoko kukuthanda kukaThixo, okuchazwe ngokugqibeleleyo phakathi kwethu. Kwaye,
UMthendeleko “ngumthombo nengqungquthela yobomi bobuKristu”…. -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-1324
Ukuba uyazibuza ukuba umanyano lwabantu bakaThixo luza kwenzeka njani kwixesha ukuza 
yiza, ungajongi ngaphaya kweTabernakele.
UMthendeleko ngophawu olusebenzayo kunye nolona lubalaseleyo lwolo lwalamano kubomi bobuThixo kwanomanyano lwaBantu bakaThixo olugcinwa lukho iCawe. Sisiphelo sesenzo sikaThixo sokungcwalisa ihlabathi ngoKristu nakunqulo lwabantu abalunikela kuKristu ngaye ngaye kuYise ngoMoya oyiNgcwele. -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-1325
Ukulungiselela uLawulo lukaYesu, oluza emva kolawulo olufutshane "lochasene nomthetho", ngokutsho kwabaSeki beCawa bokuqala, [4]cf. ISityhi 20: 1-6; Yabona Indlela elahlekile ngayo iXesha ayisiyonto yokwenza amacebo amatsha okanye iindlela ezintsha zokuthandaza. Endaweni yoko, kukuya kuye apho akhoyo, apho akhoyo, kwiSigramente Esikelelekileyo. Kukuvuselela uthando olunzulu nolomlilo lukaYesu olulindele yonke imihla kwiparadesi yakho. Kukulandela i Iindlela ezisixhenxe ngaphakathi kwiiNgingqi ukuze coca intliziyo kwaye ikulungiselele ukwamkela uKumkani ngokupheleleyo. Kule meko, ubizo lwethu lweLenten Retreat kubomi obungaphakathi bomthandazo kukuqhubekeka kothando lwethu nokumnqula Lowo simamkelayo esibingelelweni. Kukuthetha naLowo "wayekho" kodwa ngoku "ulapha" ngaphakathi kwam. Kukumthwala naye, njenge umnquba ophilayo, kuye wonke umntu endidibana naye ukuze babone, bazi, kwaye bafumane uthando nothando lwaKhe ngam. Olu thando kunye nokuzinikela kwi-Ekaristi, eyiNtliziyo eNgcwele kaYesu, yeyona ndlela iqinisekileyo yokulungiselela uLawulo lwaKhe.
Oku kuzinikela yayiyinzame yokugqibela yothando lwaKhe awayeza kuyinika abantu kule minyaka izayo, ukuze abarhoxe kubukumkani bukaSathana awayenqwenela ukubutshabalalisa, aze ngaloo ndlela ababazise kwinkululeko emnandi yolawulo lwaKhe. uthando, awayenqwenela ukulubuyisela ezintliziyweni zabo bonke abo bamkele oku kuzinikela. —St. UMargaret Mary, www.sacredheartdevotion.com
Kwaye okwangoku, lulungiselelo lwento esele iyaziwa yimiphefumlo embalwa kuphela — ngakumbi uMama oSikelelweyo — esele iyazi, kodwa ethe abaninzi bazoyenza kungekudala… lungiselela uLawulo:
BuBungcwele abukaziwa, kwaye ndiza kubazisa, obuya kuthi bubeke umhombiso wokugqibela, obona buhle kwaye buqaqambe phakathi kwazo zonke ezinye izinto ezingcwele, kwaye buya kuba sisithsaba kunye nokugqitywa kwazo zonke ezinye izinto ezingcwele. -UYesu esiya kuMkhonzi kaThixo, uLuisa Piccarreta, kwiMibhalo-ngqangi, Feb 8, 1921; Isicatshulwa kwiThe Splendor of Creation, uMfu Joseph Iannuzzi, iphe. 118
… Yonke imihla xa sithandaza kuBawo Wethu Osezulwini sicela iNkosi: “Makwenziwe ukuthanda kwakho nasemhlabeni, njengokuba kusenziwa emazulwini” (Mat 6:10)…. Siyaqonda ukuba "izulu" kulapho intando kaThixo yenziwa khona, kwaye "umhlaba" uba "lizulu" -ie, indawo yobukho bothando, yokulunga, yenyaniso kunye nobuhle bukaThixo-kuphela ukuba emhlabeni intando kaThixo yenziwe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Abaphulaphuli Jikelele, ngoFebruwari 1, 2012, kwisiXeko saseVatican
