Ukuguqulwa kukaSaint PaulnguCaravaggio, c. 1600/01,
PHA ngamagama amathathu endiva ngathi ndichaza idabi langoku esihamba kulo: Ukuphazamiseka, Ukudimazeka kunye noxinzelelo. Ndiza kubhala malunga nezi kungekudala. Kodwa kuqala, ndifuna ukwabelana nawe ngeziqinisekiso endizifumeneyo.
'INDLELA EZA KUDAMASKO'
Kuhambo lwakhe, xa wayesondela eDamasko, ngesiquphe wabanekelwa kukukhanya okuvela ezulwini. Wawa emhlabeni, weva izwi lisithi kuye, Sawule, Sawule, unditshutshiselani na? Wathi, Ungubani na, mhlekazi? Yaphendula ke yathi, Mna ndinguYesu omtshutshisayo wena. (IZenzo 9: 3-5)
Njengokuba uSt.Paul ngequbuliso wajongana nomzuzu wokukhanyiselwa, ngokunjalo ndiyakholelwa ukuba oku kungasondela kungekudala ebantwini. Ukusukela ukubhala Iimpawu ezivela esibhakabhakeni, abafundi abaliqela bayiqinisekisile le mvakalelo yokuza “ukukhanya kwesazela. "
Ndithethile nomnye umntu endisebenza naye ngefowuni ongenayo ikhompyutha. Wayenamava alandelayo emthandazweni ngala mhla ndandiposa ngawo Iimpawu ezivela esibhakabhakeni:
Ndathandaza xa ngequbuliso ndabona into engathi ngumkhonto ophakanyiswayo, emva koko kwavela ukukhanya kwayo kum. Okomzuzwana, ndiye ndaqala ukubona ukuba nesono kwam… emva koko oku kukhanya kuyeke, ndabuva ubukho bukaThixo. Ndandinoluvo lokuba kuninzi okuzayo, hayi okwam kuphela, kodwa elehlabathi liphela.
Iyahambelana le mxholo othi "umkhweli wehashe elimhlophe" "enomkhonto." Isuka kumfundi:
Ngentsasa yokuqala ye-3 kaNovemba, ndaba nephupha elifutshane ngale ndlela: Kwakukho izakhelo ezininzi zemifanekiso emgceni, ezinje ngomtya ohlekisayo. Umfanekiso kwisakhelo ngasinye wawukwi-silhouette kwaye nganye nganye ibonisa ihashe kunye nomkhweli. Umkhweli wayephethe umkhonto kwaye wabonwa kwisakhelo ngasinye kwindawo eyahlukileyo, kodwa uhlala ngathi usemfazweni.
Kwaye kuvela komnye umfundi owayenephupha elifanayo ngobo busuku:
NgoMgqibelo ebusuku, ezinzulwini zobusuku, ndavuka ndaza ndabona ubukho bukaYesu kwiHashe elimhlophe, ubuqaqawuli bakhe kunye namandla aPhezulu ayamangalisa. Uye wandikhumbuza ukuba ndifunde iNdumiso 45: Ingoma yomtshato wasebukhosini, endingenakukwazi ukuyifunda ngemvakalelo endiyifumana entliziyweni yam!
Bhinqa ikrele lakho ethangeni, ligorha elinobukroti. Ngobungangamsha nobungangamsha ukhwele kuloyiso! Kwindlela yenyaniso nokusesikweni isandla sakho sokunene sikubonise imisebenzi ebalulekileyo. Iintolo zakho zitsolile; izizwe ziya kugoba ezinyaweni zakho. Ziya kutyhafa iintshaba zokumkani. (INdumiso 45: 4-6)
Lo mama ubalisa amava unyana wakhe kwiinyanga ezintandathu ezidlulileyo:
Ngenye intsasa ndandihleli ebhedini yam ndithandaza xa kungena unyana wam wahlala nje ixeshana kunye nam. Ndibuzile ukuba ulungile na, wathi ewe (ibingelo siko lakhe ukungena egumbini lam azondibona ngaphambi kokuya esidlweni sakusasa.) Wayebonakala ethule kakhulu.
Kamva ngala mini, ndandicinga malunga nokuba ndithini kwaye ndizothini kunyana wam njengoko wayekhula malunga imiqondiso yamaxesha. Ngexesha elinye emini, unyana wam weza wandixelela ukuba wayenephupha elothusayo. Undixelele ephupheni lakhe yena Wabona umphefumlo wakhe. Uthe kunzima kakhulu wathi xa evuka esoyika wangathi akakwazi ukuphakama ebhedini esoyika ukona! Kungenxa yoko le nto wangena egumbini lam — kodwa wayengakulungelanga ukundixelela ngoko. Ngapha koko sakuxoxa okomzuzwana, emva koko ndaziva ngathi uThixo undixelela ukuba ndingazikhathazi ngokuxelela abantwana bam ngezinto ezinokwenzeka ezizayo, ukuba Yena, ngokwakhe uzakubalungisa kwaye abakhathalele okoko ndiqhubayo ukubakhokela. kuye.
IQALILE
Ndiyakholelwa ukuba "isilumkiso" sele siqalisile kwimiphefumlo emininzi. Ndiye ndeva ndiphindaphinda indlela amanye amakholwa ajamelana ngayo nezilingo ezibuhlungu nezinzima kakhulu. Ngenceba kaThixo, abo bebephendula imiqondiso yamaxesha Ndiyakholelwa, ndingena kwizilingo ezityhila iindawo ezomeleleyo zangaphakathi kunye nezakhiwo zesono ezifuna ukucocwa. Kubuhlungu. Kodwa kulungile. Kungcono ukuba ezi zinto ziphume ngoku, kancinci kancinci, kunoko zonke ngaxeshanye xa kufika isilumkiso okanye "Usuku lokuKhanya". Kungcono ukuba indlu ilungiswe igumbi ngokwamagumbi kunokuba yonke indlu idilizwe ukuba yakhiwe kwakhona.
Izazela zala bantu zibathandayo mazishukunyiswe ngobundlobongela ukuze “babeke indlu yabo ngocwangco”… Umzuzu omkhulu uyasondela, lusuku olukhulu lokukhanya… lixesha lokwenza isigqibo loluntu. —UMaria Esperanza, oyintsomi; (Ngo-1928-2004), icatshulwe kwi Umchasi-Kristu kunye namaxesha okugqibela, P. 37, uFr. UJoseph Iannuzzi; (Ref: IVolumne 15-n.2, iNqaku eliFakiwe elivela www.sign.org)
Yiyo loo nto uMama wethu osikelelweyo ebesibizela emthandazweni nasekukhawulezeni ukutya, isohlwayo kunye nokuguquka, ngaphezulu kweminyaka engamashumi amabini anesihlanu. Ebesilungiselela ngokuyinxenye, ndiyakholelwa, kulo mzuzu uzayo xa zonke iimbombo ezifihlakeleyo zeentliziyo zethu ziya kutyhilwa. Ngomthandazo, ukuzila ukudla kunye nenguquko, iindawo eziqinileyo zeedemon ziye zaphulwa, imilenze eyaphukileyo ibotshiwe, kwaye isono saziswa ekukhanyeni. Imiphefumlo enjalo eye yangena kule nkqubo ayinaloyiko ekukhanyeni kwezazela zayo. Oluphi ulungiso olushiyekileyo aluyi kunciphisa ukothuka, kwaye kungonobangela wovuyo lokuba uThixo amthande kakhulu, ade afune ukumenza agqibelele kwaye abe ngcwele!
Ke kwakhona, thabatha yonke imihla ukulungisa ubomi bakho kwaye uzise ekukhanyeni naziphi na iindawo zesono athe uThixo wakubabala ngazo. Lubabalo-Kunye nesizathu sokufa kukaYesu: ukususa izono zethu. Yizise kuYesu onamanxeba okuphiliswayo. Yizise ekuNgqineni apho isono sakho sichithakele njengenkungu kunye neoli ephilisayo yenceba ifakwe kwisazela sakho.
Ewe, yithathe ngokungathí sina le nto. Hlala entliziyweni yakho njengomntwana omncinci, uthembele kuThixo ukuba nokuba isono sakho sibonakala sibi kangakanani, ukuba uthando lwaKhe lukhulu. Kukhulu kakhulu, kwaye kungaphaya komlinganiselo.
Emva koko ubomi bakho buya kuba ngumqondiso wovuyo olungunaphakade.
… Ukuba sihamba ekukhanyeni njengokuba yena esekukhanyeni, sinobudlelane omnye nomnye, lithi negazi loNyana wakhe uYesu lisihlambulule kuso sonke isono. Ukuba sithi, “Asinasono,” siyazikhohlisa, nenyaniso ayikho kuthi. Ukuba siyazivuma izono zethu, uthembekile, ulilungisa, uya kuzixolela izono zethu, asihlambulule kuko konke ukungalungisi. (1 Yohane 1: 7-9)
