NDINGU intloko yokomoya yomfazi nabantwana bam. Xa ndathi, "Ndiyayenza," ndangena kwiSakramente apho ndathembisa khona ukuthanda nokuhlonipha umfazi wam de kuse ekufeni. Ukuze ndikhulise abantwana uThixo angasinika ngokokholo. Le yindima yam, luxanduva lwam. Ngumbandela wokuqala endiya kugwetywa ngawo ekupheleni kobomi bam, emva kokuba ndiyithande na iNkosi uThixo wam ngentliziyo yam yonke, ngomphefumlo wam, nangamandla am onke.
Kodwa uninzi lwamadoda lucinga ukuba luxanduva lwabo kukuzisa ibhekoni ekhaya. Ukuziphilisa. Ukulungisa umnyango wangaphambili. Ezi zinto mhlawumbi uxanduva lomzuzu. Kodwa ayizizo iinjongo eziphambili. [1]cf. Intliziyo kaThixo Ubizo lwendoda etshatileyo kukukhokelela umfazi nabantwana bayo eBukumkanini ngobunkokheli kunye nomzekelo. Kuba, njengoko uYesu watshoyo:
Zonke ezi zinto zifunwa ngabahedeni. UYihlo osemazulwini uyazi ukuba niyazidinga zonke. Funani ke tanci ubukumkani bukaThixo nobulungisa bakhe, zaye zonke ezo zinto ziya kongezelelwa kuni. (Mat 6: 30-33)
Oko kukuthi, amadoda, uThixo ufuna utata kuwe. He ifuna ukubonelela ngeemfuno zakho. Ufuna ukuba wazi ukuba ukrolwe entendeni yesandla saKhe. Kwaye yonke imizabalazo nezilingo ojamelene nazo azinamandla njengobabalo lwaKhe olufumanekayo emphefumlweni wakho…
… Kuba lowo ukuni mkhulu kunalowo usehlabathini. (1 Yohane 4: 4)
Bambelela kwelo lizwi, mzalwana. Kuba la maxesha siphila kuwo abongoza amadoda ukuba abe nesibindi, angoyiki; bayathobela, bangathembeki; thandaza, ungaphazanyiswa. Kodwa musa ukoyika okanye urhoxe kulo mgangatho ubizelwe kuwo:
Ndinamandla ayo yonke into ngaye lowo undomelezayo. KwabaseFilipi 4:13.
ngoku ilixa apho uYesu abiza abantu ukuba babuyele kwindima yethu efanelekileyo njengababingeleli kumakhaya ethu. Kuba zange ngaphambili umfazi nabantwana bethu badinga intloko yamakhaya abo ukuba abe yindoda yokwenyani, ukuba abe ngumyeni ongumKristu. Kuba, emva kwexesha uFr. UJohn Hardon wabhala, iintsapho eziqhelekileyo ngekhe isinde kula maxesha:
Bamele ukuba ziintsapho ezingaqhelekanga. Kufuneka ukuba babe, into andithandabuzi ukuyibiza, ziintsapho zamagorha obuKatolika. Iintsapho eziqhelekileyo zamaKatolika azinakulinganiswa nomtyholi njengoko esebenzisa imithombo yeendaba kunxibelelwano ukwenza abantu bangabinanto kwaye bangabinanto yakutshanje. Ngaphantsi kwamaKatolika aqhelekileyo anokuphila, ke iintsapho eziqhelekileyo zamaKatolika azinakuphila. Abanakukhetha. Kufuneka babe ngcwele-oko kuthetha ukuba bangcwalisiwe-okanye baya kutshabalala. Iintsapho zamaKatolika kuphela eziza kuhlala ziphila kwaye zichuma kwinkulungwane yamashumi amabini ananye ziintsapho zabafeli-nkolo. Utata, umama nabantwana kufuneka bakulungele ukufela iinkolelo zabo abazinikwe nguThixo… Eyona nto ifunwa lihlabathi namhlanje ziintsapho zabafeli-nkolo, abaya kuzala kwakhona emoyeni ngaphandle kwentiyo yobuKrestu ngokuchasene nobomi bosapho ziintshaba zikaKristu nezakhe. Icawe kule mihla yethu. -Intombikazi eyiNtombikazi kunye nokuNgcweliswa kweFamily, Mkhonzi kaThixo, Fr. UJohn A. Hardon, SJ
Ungalukhokela njani ke usapho lwakho ukuba lube engavamile kusapho? Injani le nto? Ewe, uPaul uPaul uthelekisa indoda kunye nomtshato kaKristu nomtshakazi waKhe, iBandla. [2]cf. Efe 5:32 UYesu ukwanguMbingeleli oMkhulu walo mtshakazi, [3]cf. Heb 4: 14 kwaye ke, ukuguqula umfuziselo kaPawulos, sinokubusebenzisa obu bubingeleli bukaYesu nakwindoda nobawo. Ngaloo ndlela…
… Masisuse wonke umthwalo nesono esisincamatheleyo sizingise ekubalekeni ugqatso oluphambi kwethu ngelixa sigcine amehlo ethu ethe ntsho kuYesu, inkokeli nomphelelisi wokholo. (Heb 12: 1-2)
UKUHLALELA EMVINI
Nokuba wayeyinkwenkwana etempileni, okanye ekuqaleni kobulungiseleli bakhe entlango, okanye ngexesha lolungiselelo lwaKhe esihlweleni, okanye ngaphambi kokuKhathazeka kwakhe, uYesu wayesoloko eguqukela kuYise ngomthandazo.
Wavuka kwakusasa kakhulu, wemka waya endaweni eyintlango, wathandaza. (UMarko 1:35)
Ukuze sibe ngumfundisi osebenzayo kwaye onesiqhamo kumakhaya ethu, kufuneka sibuyele kumthombo wamandla ethu.
Umdiliya ndim, nina ningamasebe; Lowo uhleli kum, ndibe mna ndihleli kuye, yena uthwala isiqhamo esininzi, ngokuba ngaphandle kwam aninakwenza nto. (UYohane 15: 5)
Yonke into iqala entliziyweni. Ukuba intliziyo yakho ayilunganga phambi koThixo, yonke loo mini yosuku lwakho isemngciphekweni wokuwela kukuphazamiseka.
Kuba kuyo intliziyo kuphuma izicamango ezingendawo, ukubulala, ukukrexeza, ubuhenyu, ubusela, ubungqina bobuxoki, ukunyelisa. (Mat 15:19)
Singaba njani iinkokeli zeentsapho zethu ukuba simfanyekiswe ngumoya wehlabathi? 
Iintliziyo zethu zilungisiwe xa wethu Priorities zilungiswa, xa "sifuna kuqala ubukumkani bukaThixo." Oko kukuthi, kufuneka sibe ngamadoda azinikeleyo ukuthandaza mihla le, ye…
Umthandazo bubomi bentliziyo entsha. -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. 2697
Ukuba awuthandazi, intliziyo yakho entsha iyafa-iyazaliswa kwaye yenziwa yenye into ngaphandle koMoya kaThixo. Ngelishwa, umthandazo wemihla ngemihla kunye a ubudlelwane bomntu noYesu aziqhelekanga kumadoda amaninzi amaKatolika. Asikhe "sikhululeke" ngomthandazo, ngakumbi umthandazo osuka entliziyweni apho sithetha noThixo njengomhlobo omnye komnye. [4]cf. CCC n. I-2709 Kodwa kufuneka soyise le miqobo kwaye senze oko uYesu asiyalele kona: "thandaza rhoqo." [5]cf. Mat 6: 6; ULuka 18: 1 Ndibhalile ukucamngca ngokufutshane ngomthandazo endithemba ukuba uza kukunceda uwenze ube yinxalenye yosuku lwakho:
Kwaye ukuba ufuna ukungena nzulu, thatha iintsuku zam ezingama-40 ndibuyela emthandazweni Apha, enokwenziwa nangaliphi na ixesha lonyaka.
Thatha imizuzu eli-15 ukuya kwengama-20 ngosuku ukuthetha neNkosi ngokusuka entliziyweni kwaye ufunde iLizwi likaThixo, eliyindlela yakhe yokuthetha nawe. Ngale ndlela, incindi yoMoya oyiNgcwele inokuhamba ngoKristu uMdiliya, kwaye uya kuba nobabalo olufanelekileyo lokuqalisa ukuthwala isiqhamo kusapho lwakho nasemsebenzini.
Ngaphandle komthandazo, intliziyo yakho entsha iyafa.
Yibani nobungqongqo ngokuzimisela ukuze nithandaze. (1 Pet 4: 7)
INKONZO ETHOBEKILEYO
In Icandelo INdathetha ngendlela amanye amadoda anqwenela ukulawula ngayo endaweni yokukhonza abafazi bawo. UYesu wabonisa enye indlela, indlela yokuthobeka. Nokuba ...
… Nangona wayekubume boThixo, engakhange acinge ukulingana noThixo kuyinto enokuxatyelwa. Usuke wazihluba, wathabatha ubume bomkhonzi, enziwe wafana nabantu; wamfumana ngokubonakala, wazithoba, waba ngolulamileyo, wada wesa ekufeni, ukufa ke kwasemnqamlezweni. (KwabaseFil 2: 6-8)
Ukuba singababingeleli emakhayeni ethu, kufuneka sixelise ububingeleli bukaYesu, obuye bafikelela ekuzinikeleni njengedini lobubingeleli.
.
Ndiyanivuselela ngoko, bazalwana, ngeemfefe zikaThixo, ukuba niyinikele imizimba yenu ibe lidini eliphilileyo, elingcwele, elikholekileyo kuThixo. (Roma 12: 1)
Ngulo mzekelo wothando lokuzincama, lokuzincama olweyona mpembelelo yethu inamandla ekhayeni. Ikwayenye yeyona ndlela "imxinwa kwaye inzima" [6]cf. Mat 7:14 kuba ifuna ukungazingci kunqabile namhlanje.
Izenzo sithetha ngaphezulu kunamazwi; vumela amazwi akho afundise kunye nezenzo zakho zithethe. —St. Anthony wasePadua, iNtshumayelo, Imini yeeYure, IVol. III, iphe. Ngo-1470
Zeziphi iindlela esinokukwenza ngazo oku? Singayitshintsha ilweyile lomntwana endaweni yokuyiyekela kubafazi bethu. Singavala isiciko sendlu yangasese size sibeke intlama yamazinyo kude. Singalungisa ibhedi. Singatshayela phantsi ekhitshini kwaye sincedise ekuhlambeni izitya. Sinokucima umabonwakude kwaye sithathe ezimbalwa kwezo zinto kuludwe lwethu lokwenza izinto. Ngaphezu koko, sinokumphendula ngokugxeka ngokuthobeka endaweni yokuzikhusela; bukela iimovie angathanda ukuzibukela; umphulaphule ngenyameko kunokuba umsike; ukunikela ingqalelo kwiimfuno zakhe zeemvakalelo kunokufuna ngesondo; ukumthanda endaweni yokumsebenzisa. Mphathe ngendlela uKristu asiphathe ngayo.
Emva koko wagalela amanzi esityeni sokuhlambela waqalisa ukuhlamba iinyawo zabafundi…. ”(Yohane 13: 5)
Olu lulwimi lwakhe lothando, mzalwana. Hayi ulwimi lwenkanuko olusehlabathini. UYesu akazange athi kubapostile, “Ngoku, ndinike umzimba wakho ngenxa yeenjongo zam zobuthixo!” kodwa kungcono…
Thabatha udle; ngumzimba wam lo. (Mat 26: 26)
Hayi indlela iNkosi yethu ejika ngayo le mbono yanamhlanje ngomtshato! Sitshata ngento esinokuyifumana, kodwa uYesu "watshata" iBandla ngento anokunika ngayo.
KUKHULU NGAPHEZU KWAMAZWI
Isishwankathelo sika-St. Paul semfundo sobhishophu sinokusebenza kakuhle kubabingeleli "becawa yasekhaya":
… Ubishophu kufuneka angabi nakukhalazeleka… abe nobungcathu, azibambe, aziphathe kakuhle, abuk 'iindwendwe, akwazi ukufundisa; Umele ukuwulawula kakuhle umzi wakhe, egcina abantwana bakhe phantsi kolawulo ngesidima esigqibeleleyo… (1 Tim 3: 2)
Singabafundisa njani abantwana bethu isidima sokuzibamba ukuba bayabukela 
sinxila ngempelaveki? Singabafundisa njani ukuba bafaneleke ukuba ngolwimi lwethu, iinkqubo esizibukeleyo, okanye iikhalenda esizixhwele kwigaraji ziinkunkuma? Singalubonisa njani kubo uthando lukaThixo ukuba siyaluphakamisa uxinzelelo size sikhawuleze ukucaphuka kunokuba sithambe kwaye sibe nomonde, sithwala iziphoso zamalungu osapho lwethu? Luxanduva lwethu – lilungelo lethu, ukungqina kubantwana bethu.
Ngobabalo lomthendeleko womtshato, abazali bafumana uxanduva kunye nelungelo lokushumayela abantwana babo. Abazali kufuneka baqalise abantwana babo besebancinci kwiimfihlakalo zokholo abathi "bangabavakalisi bokuqala" babantwana babo. -I-CCC, n. I-2225
Musa ukoyika ukucela uxolo xa usiwa! Ukuba abantwana bakho okanye iqabane lakho liyasilela ukubona isidima sibonakalisiwe kuwe ngexesha elithile, mabangasileli ekuboneni ukuthobeka kwakho kokulandelayo.
Ikratshi lomntu liya kumthoba; Ke yena omoya uthobekileyo ufumana uzuko. (IMiz. 29:23)
Ukuba sawonzakalisa amalungu osapho lwethu, konke akupheli, nokuba izono zethu zazisenziwa kwakudala.
… Ngokuba uthando lugubungela inkitha yezono. (1 Pet 4: 8)
UMTHANDAZO WOSAPHO NOKUFUNDISA
UYesu akazange aphelele nje ekuthandazeni yedwa; akazange anikezele ngobomi bakhe ngokuthobekileyo ngenxa yabantwana baKhe; kodwa wabafundisa kwaye wabakhokelela emthandazweni.
Walijikeleza lonke elaseGalili, efundisa ezindlwini zabo zesikhungu, evakalisa iindaba ezilungileyo zobukumkani. (Mat. 4:23)
Njengoko sele kutshiwo ngentla, ukufundisa kwethu kufuneka kuqala kuze kuqala kuthi ubungqina kwimicimbi yemihla ngemihla yobomi. Ndiluphatha njani uxinzelelo? Ndizijonga njani izinto eziphathekayo? Ndimphatha njani umfazi wam?
Indoda yanamhlanje iphulaphula ngokuzithandela amangqina kunabafundisi, kwaye ukuba iyabamamela ootitshala, kungenxa yokuba bangamangqina. —UAPOPE PAUL VI, Ukuhambisa ivangeli kwiLizwe lale mihla
Kodwa senza kakuhle ukukhumbula isiluleko somprofeti uHoseya:
Bayatshabalala abantu bam kukuswela ukwazi; (Hoseya 4: 6)
Rhoqo, abazali abaninzi bacinga ukuba yindima yababingeleli babo okanye isikolo samaKatolika ukufundisa abantwana babo inkolo. Nangona kunjalo, leyo yimpazamo enkulu ephindaphindwe rhoqo.
Abazali banoxanduva lokuqala kwimfundo yabantwana babo. Banikela ubungqina kolu xanduva kuqala ngokwenza ikhaya apho ukuthantamisa, uxolelo, intlonipho, ukuthembeka, kunye nenkonzo engenamdla ngumgaqo. Ikhaya liyilungele ngokufanelekileyo imfundo kwizidima…
Abazali banoxanduva olukhulu lokunika abantwana babo umzekelo olungileyo. Ngokwazi indlela yokuvuma ukusilela kwabo ebantwaneni babo, abazali baya kubanakho ukubakhokela nokubalungisa. -I-CCC, n. I-2223
Mhlawumbi uvile ibinzana elithandwayo, "Usapho oluthandazayo kunye, luhlala kunye." [7]yenziwa nguFr. UPatrick Peyton Kuyinyani, kodwa akunjalo. Zingaphi iintsapho eziye zathandaza kunye, kodwa namhlanje, zisezintsingxweni njengoko abantwana babo beshiye ukholo emva kokushiya ikhaya. Kukho okungakumbi kubomi bobuKristu kunokungxengxezela kwimithandazo embalwa okanye ugqatso ngeRosari. Kufuneka sifundise abantwana bethu okulungileyo nokubi; ukubanika iziseko zenkolo yethu yamaKatolika; ubafundise ukuthandaza; indlela yokuthanda, ukuxolela, kunye nokuqonda okubaluleke kakhulu ebomini.
Abazali banomsebenzi wokufundisa abantwana babo ukuthandaza nokufumanisa ubizo lwabo njengabantwana bakaThixo… Kufuneka baqiniseke ukuba ubizo lokuqala lomKristu kukulandela uYesu ... —ICCC. n. 2226, 2232
Nangona kunjalo, abantwana bethu banenkululeko yokuzikhethela kwaye ke banokukhetha indlela "ebanzi nelula". Nangona kunjalo, oko sikwenzayo njengootata kuya kuba nefuthe kubomi babo, nokuba abantwana bethu abaguqukileyo baguqukile emva kwexesha ebomini. Ngokwenyani, oku kubandakanya ntoni? Akunyanzelekanga ukuba ube ngumfundi wezakwalizwi! Xa iNkosi yethu yayihamba phakathi kwethu, yaxelela imizekeliso kunye namabali. Unyana wolahleko, umSamariya olungileyo, Abasebenzi esidiliyeni ... amabali alula ahambisa imilinganiselo yokuziphatha enamandla nenyaniso yobuthixo. Ngokunjalo kufuneka sithethe kwinqanaba eliqondwa ngabantwana bethu. Nangona kunjalo, ndiyazi ukuba oku kuyaboyikisa abantu abaninzi.
Ndikhumbula ndisitya no-Bishop Eugene Cooney kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo. Sasixoxa ngengxaki yokushumayela kumakhaya kunye nokuba mangaphi amaKhatholika aziva namhlanje ukuba awondliwa epulpitini. Uphendule wathi, “Andiboni ukuba umfundisi ochitha ixesha ethandaza kwaye ecamngca ngeLizwi likaThixo akanakho ukuza nosapho olunentsingiselo ngeCawa.” [8]cf. Ukutolika iSityhilelo Kwaye ke siyakubona ukubaluleka komthandazo kubomi bukatata! Ngomzabalazo wethu, ukuphilisa, ukukhula kunye nokuhamba neNkosi, sikhanyiselwe bubomi obungaphakathi bomthandazo, siya kuba nakho ukwabelana nohambo lwethu ngobulumko uThixo asinika bona. Kodwa ngaphandle kokuba ukuMdiliya, olu hlobo lweziqhamo luya kuba nzima ukulufumana ngenene.
UBhishophu Cooney wongeze wathi: "Andazi mfundisi mnye oshiye ububingeleli ongazange ayeke ukuthandaza kuqala." Isilumkiso esisexesheni kuthi abo "bangenalo ixesha" lale meko isisiseko yobomi bobuKristu.
Nazi izinto ezithile onokuzenza suku ngalunye nosapho lwakho ukuzisa kubukho bukaYesu obuguqulayo:
Iintsikelelo Ngexesha Lokutya
… Wathi akubusisa, waqhekeza izonka, wanika abafundi, bathi bona babanika ezo zihlwele. (Mat 14:19)
Ziyanda iintsapho ezihambisa uGrace ngexesha lesidlo. Kodwa eli khefu lifutshane nelinamandla lenza izinto ezininzi. Okokuqala, kukungazinzi njengoko sibeka iziqhoboshi kwinyama yethu kwaye silambele 
Yazi ukuba "isonka sethu semihla ngemihla" sisipho esivela "kuBawo wethu". Ibeka uThixo kwakhona kwiziko lomsebenzi wosapho. Isikhumbuza ukuba…
Umntu akaphili ngasonka sodwa, kodwa ngamazwi onke aphuma emlonyeni kaThixo. (Mat 4: 4)
Oku akuthethi ukuba kuya kufuneka ukhokele yonke imithandazo, kanye njengokuba uYesu wanika abafundi bakhe ukuba babele isonka. Ekhaya lethu, ndihlala ndicela abantwana okanye umfazi wam ukuba athethe ubabalo. Abantwana bafunde ukuba oku kubandakanya ntoni xa besiva ukuba umama notata bathethe njani na, nokuba kungokuzenzekelayo ngamazwi, okanye umthandazo wamandulo othi "Sikelela O Nkosi kunye nezi zipho Zakho…" umthandazo.
Umthandazo emva kwexesha lesidlo
Ubabalo kwizidlo, nangona kunjalo, alwanele. Njengoko uPaul Paul esitsho,
Nina madoda, bathandeni abafazi benu, njengokuba naye uKristu walithandayo ibandla, wazinikela ukuba alingcwalise; ukumcoca ngokumhlamba ngamanzi ngelizwi. (Kwabase-Efese 5: 25-26)
Kufuneka sizihlambe iintsapho zethu eLizwini likaThixo, kuba kwakhona, umntu akaphili ngasonka sodwa. Kwaye iLizwi likaThixo linjalo enamandla:
… Ilizwi likaThixo liphilile, lisebenza, libukhali ngaphezu kwalo naliphi na ikrele elintlangothi-mbini, lingena phakathi komphefumlo nomoya, amalungu nomongo, liyakwazi ukuqonda ukubonakalisa neengcinga zentliziyo. (Heb 4:12)
Sifumene kumakhaya ethu ukuba emva kwesidlo lixesha elifanelekileyo lokuthandaza kuba sele sihlanganisene kunye. Sihlala siqala umthandazo wethu ngombulelo ngesidlo esele sinaso. Ngamanye amaxesha, siza kujikeleza ngesangqa, kwaye wonke umntu ukusuka phezulu kuye kumntwana omncinci uyabulela ngento enye abanombulelo ngayo ngaloo mini. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, indlela abantu bakaThixo abangena ngayo etempileni kwiTestamente eNdala:
Ngenani ngesango lakhe ninombulelo, Neenkundla zakhe ngokudumisa; (INdumiso 100: 4)
Emva koko, kuxhomekeke kwindlela akhokelwa ngayo nguMoya, siza kuthatha ukufundwa komoya oyingcwele okanye ukufundwa kweMisa kosuku (kwi-missal okanye kwi-intanethi) kwaye sijike 
ndizifunda. Okokuqala, ndihlala ndithandaza ndicela uMoya oyiNgcwele ukuba avule iintliziyo zethu kunye namehlo ukuze sive kwaye siqonde ukuba uThixo ufuna sithini. Ndihlala ndinomntwana ofunda ukuFunda kokuqala, omnye iNdumiso. Kodwa ngokuhambelana nemodeli yobubingeleli besakramente, bendihlala ndifunda iVangeli njengentloko yekhaya. Emva koko, ndihlala ndithatha isivakalisi esinye okanye ezibini kufundo olusebenza kubomi bosapho, ukuya kumba, okanye kumnxeba ohlaziyiweyo wokuguqula okanye indlela yokuphila iVangeli ebomini bethu. Ndithetha nje nabantwana ngokusuka entliziyweni. Ngamanye amaxesha, ndibabuza oko bakufundileyo nabakuvileyo kwiVangeli ukuze bathathe inxaxheba ngengqondo neentliziyo zabo.
Sihlala sivala ngokwenza imithandazo yokuthandazela abanye kunye neemfuno zosapho lwethu.
IRosari
Ndibhalile kwenye indawo apha kumandla eRosari. Kodwa mandikhe ndicaphule uJohn Paul II osikelelekileyo kwimeko yeentsapho zethu:
… Usapho, olona seli luluntu, [luye] lusongelwa ngamandla yimikhosi yokwahlulwa kuzo zombini iinqwelo-moya ezinesidima, ukuze sikwazi ukoyika ikamva leli ziko libalulekileyo nelibaluleke kakhulu, kunye nalo, nekamva yoluntu ngokubanzi. Ukuvuselelwa kweRosari kwiintsapho zamaKristu, ngaphakathi kobulungiseleli bobufundisi ngokubanzi kusapho, kuya kuba luncedo olusebenzayo ekuchaseni iziphumo ezibi zeli xesha lobunzima. -URosarium Virginis Mariae, Ileta yabapostile, n. 6
Ngenxa yokuba sinabantwana abancinci, sihlala siyophula iRosari ukuya kumashumi amahlanu eminyaka, enye yosuku ngalunye lweveki (kwaye kuba sihlala sibandakanya eminye imithandazo okanye ukufunda). Ndibhengeza iminyaka elishumi yosuku, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ndinike ingxelo ngendlela esebenza ngayo kuthi. Umzekelo, ndingathi xa sicamngca ngemfihlakalo yesibini ebuhlungu, ukukhafula ngentsika… ”Jonga indlela uYesu awanyamezela ethe cwaka ngayo intshutshiso nokubethwa abamnika kona, nangona wayengenatyala. Masithandazeleni ngoko ukuba uYesu asincede sithwale iziphoso zabanye kwaye sithule xa abanye bethetha izinto ezenzakalisayo. Emva koko sihamba ngesangqa, ngamnye esithi Aho uMariya kude kube kugqityiwe iminyaka elishumi.
Ngale ndlela, abantwana baqala ukuhamba esikolweni sikaMariya besiya kulwazi olunzulu ngothando lukaYesu nenceba yakhe.
Isigqibo soSapho
Ngenxa yokuba singabantu, kwaye ngenxa yoko sibuthathaka kwaye sithambekele esonweni nokwenzakala, kukho imfuneko yokuxolelwa noxolelwaniso ekhaya. Le yayiyinjongo ephambili yoBubingeleli obuNgcwele bukaYesu-ukuba ngumrhumo oxolelanisa abantwana bakaThixo noBawo wabo.
Konke oku kuphuma kuThixo, owasixolelanisa naye ngokwakhe ngoKristu, wasinika ulungiselelo loxolelaniso; oko kukuthi, uThixo ulixolelanisa naye ngokwakhe ihlabathi kuKristu, engazibaleli kubo iziphoso zabo, asiphathise nesigidimi soxolelaniso. (2 Kor. 5: 18-19)
Kwaye ke, njengentloko yekhaya, kubudlelane nabafazi bethu, kufuneka sibe "ngabanoxolo." Xa kufika iingxaki ezingenakuphepheka, indoda 
Impendulo ihlala ihlala kwigaraji, isebenze emotweni, okanye ifihle komnye umqolomba olungeleyo. Kodwa xa umzuzu ulungile, kufuneka siqokelele amalungu osapho, okanye usapho luphela, kwaye sincede ekwenzeni ngokufanelekileyo uxolelwaniso.
Yiyo loo nto ikhaya sisikolo sokuqala sobomi bobuKrestu kwaye "sisikolo sophuhliso lomntu." Apha umntu ufunda unyamezelo kunye novuyo lomsebenzi, uthando lobuzalwana, isisa-nokuba siphindaphindwe-ukuxolelwa, kwaye ngaphezu kwako konke ukunqula kukaThixo ngomthandazo nokunikela ngobomi bakhe. -CCC, n. I-1657
UKUBA NGUMPRISTI KWIHLABATHI LABASHISHINO
Alithandabuzeki elokuba, njengootata, sijamelene nolunye lolona tshintsho lukhulu lwabahedeni kwimbali yoluntu. Mhlawumbi lixesha lokulinganisa kwinqanaba elithile Ootata baseDesert. La ngamadoda nabafazi abasindayo emhlabeni babalekela entlango eYiphutha ngenkulungwane yesithathu. Ukusuka ekukhanyeleni kwabo umhlaba kunye nokucamngca ngemfihlelo kaThixo, isithethe seemonki eCaweni sazalwa.
Ngelixa singenako ukubaleka iintsapho zethu kwaye sihambe siye echibini elikude (ngokungathi oko kunokuba nomtsalane kwabanye benu), singabaleka umoya wehlabathi ngokungena kwintlango yangaphakathi nangaphandle. ukungcola. Ligama elidala lamaKatolika elithetha ukuthoba ngokuzincama, ukubulala ezo zinto kuthi ezichasene noMoya kaThixo, ukuxhathisa izilingo zenyama.
Yonke into esehlabathini, inkanuko yenyama, ukuthanda amehlo, nokuphila ngokuqhayisa, akuveli kuBawo, kodwa kuphuma ehlabathini. Nangona kunjalo ihlabathi kunye nomtsalane walo uyadlula. Ke yena owenza ukuthanda kukaThixo uhleli ngonaphakade. (1 Yohane 2: 16-17)
Bazalwana, siphila kwilizwe elinamanyala. Kuyo yonke indawo, ukusuka kubungakanani beepowusta ezivenkileni, kwiinkqubo zikamabonwakude, kwiimagazini, kwiiwebhusayithi zeendaba, kumzi mveliso womculo. Sanele yimibono egqwethekileyo ngesini-kwaye itsalela ootata abaninzi kwintshabalalo. Andithandabuzi ukuba uninzi lwenu olufunda oku lusokola ukuba likhoboka leziyobisi kwinqanaba elithile. 
Impendulo kukujika kwakhona ngentembelo kwinceba kaThixo, kwaye sabelani entlango. Oko kukuthi, kufuneka senze ukhetho olulinganiswa nomntu malunga neendlela zethu zokuphila kunye nento esizibeka kuyo. Ndikubhalela ngoku, ndihleli kwigumbi lokulinda kwivenkile yokulungisa iimoto. Ngalo lonke ixesha ndijonga phezulu, kukho owasetyhini ohamba ze kwiintengiso okanye kwiividiyo zomculo. Olunjani uluntu oluhluphekileyo! Silahlekelwe bubuhle bokwenyani bomfazi, simnciphisa ngento. Esi sesinye sezizathu zokuba singabinaye umabonakude ekhaya. Mna, ngokobuqu, ndibuthathaka kakhulu ukujongana nokuqhushumisa imifanekiso enjalo. Oko, kwaye kuhlala kuyinto engenangqondo, engenanjongo yokuqhubekeka ngaphandle kokuchitha iscreen esichitha ixesha kunye nempilo. Uninzi luthi abanalo ixesha lokuthandaza, kodwa banexesha elaneleyo lokubukela umdlalo webhola oweyure ezi-3 okanye iiyure ezimbalwa zobubhanxa.
Lixesha lokuba amadoda ayicime! Ngapha koko, ndiziva ngathi lixesha lokusika intambo okanye isathelayithi kwaye ndibaxelele ukuba sigula ngokuhlawula inkunkuma yabo. Inokuba ibiyintoni ingxelo enjalo ukuba sisisigidi samakhaya amaKatolika athi "akusekho." Imali iyathetha.
Xa kuziwa kwi-intanethi, wonke umntu uyazi ukuba unonqakrazo kabini kude nolona mnyama lumnyama ingqondo yomntu inokudala. Kwakhona, amazwi kaYesu athi qatha engqondweni:
Ukuba ke iliso lakho lasekunene liyakukhubekisa, linyothule ulilahle kude; Kukulungele ukuba ulahlekelwe lilungu elinye lomzimba kunokuba umzimba wakho uphela uphoswe eGehena. (Mat. 5:29)
Kukho indlela engebuhlungu kangako. Beka ikhomputer yakho apho abanye banokuhlala bebona isikrini; fakela isoftware yokuphendula; okanye ukuba kunokwenzeka, lahla ngokupheleleyo. Xelela abahlobo bakho ukuba ifowuni isasebenza.
Andikwazi ukulungisa zonke izilingo esijamelana nazo njengamadoda. Kodwa kukho umgaqo omnye osisiseko onokuthi uqale ngoku ukuba, ukuba uthembekile kuwo, uya kuqala inguqu ebomini bakho owawucinga ukuba ayinakwenzeka. Kwaye yile:
Yambathani iNkosi uYesu Kristu, kwaye ningenzi malungiselelo ngeminqweno yenyama. (Roma 13:14)
KuMthetho woKhuphiswano kufuneka sithandaze emva kokwenza isivumo, sithi,
Ndiyathembisa, ngoncedo lobabalo lwaKho, ukungoni kwakhona kwaye thintela isihlandlo esikufutshane sesono.
Izilingo zomhla wethu zikhohlakele, ziyazingisa, kwaye zikhohlisa. Kodwa azinamandla ngaphandle kokuba sibanika amandla. Elona candelo linzima kukungavumeli uSathana athathe oko kuluma kuqala kwisigqibo sethu. Ukuxhathisa okokujonga okwesibini kumfazi onomtsalane. Ukungenzi malungiselelo enkanuko yenyama. Ukungenzi nje kuphela isono, kodwa nokuthintela i kufutshane nesiganeko ngayo (jonga I-Tiger kwiNdlwana). Ukuba uyindoda ethandazayo; ukuba ubakho rhoqo kwizono; ukuba uzibophelela kuMama kaThixo (umfazi oyinyani); kwaye ube njengomntwana omncinci phambi koBawo waseZulwini, uyakunikwa izipho zokoyisa uloyiko kunye nezilingo ebomini bakho.
Kwaye ube ngumbingeleli obizelwe ukuba ubenjalo.
Kuba asinambingeleli mkhulu ungenako ukuvelana nezilwelwe zethu; ke, sinowahendwayo ngeento zonke, ngokokungabi nasono. (Heb 4:15)
Ubomi bosapho bunokubuyiselwa kuluntu lwethu kuphela ngenzondelelo yabapostile yeentsapho ezingcwele zamaKatolika-ukufikelela kwezinye iintsapho ezisweleyo namhlanje. UPopu John Paul II wakubiza oku, "kukuhlubuka kweentsapho kwiintsapho." -Intombi Enyulu Ebusisiweyo kunye nokuNgcwaliswa koSapho, Mkhonzi kaThixo, Fr. UJohn A. Hardon, SJ
