NJANI singakwazi na, njengamaKristu ukuhlala kweli hlabathi ngaphandle kokudliwa lilo? Singahlala njani sinyulu ngentliziyo kwisizukulwana esigxile ekungcoleni? Singaba ngcwele njani ngeli xesha lokungcwele?
Kunyaka ophelileyo, mabini amagama anamandla kakhulu entliziyweni yam endifuna ukuqhubeka nokwandisa. Esokuqala sisimemo esivela kuYesu esithi “Yiza kunye nam siye entlango”(Yabona Yiza kunye nam). Igama lesibini lanwenwela koku: ubizo lokufana “noobawo basentlango”—loo madoda abaleka izilingo zehlabathi aya entlango entlango ukuze akhusele ubomi bawo bomoya (bona Ilixa lokuchas 'umthetho). Ukubalekela kwabo entlango kwakha isiseko se-monasticism yaseNtshona kunye nendlela entsha yokudibanisa umsebenzi kunye nomthandazo. Namhlanje, ndiyakholelwa ukuba abo "beza" noYesu ngeli xesha bazakube besakha iziseko "zobungcwele obutsha nobungcwele" kwixesha elizayo. [1]cf. Ukuza okuNtsha kunye nobuNgcwele obuNgcwele.
Enye indlela yokuchaza esi simemo kukubaphuma eBhabheli", Ukuphuma kwintambo enamandla yetekhnoloji, ukuzonwabisa okungenangqondo, kunye nokuthenga okugcwalisa imiphefumlo yethu ngolonwabo lwexeshana, kodwa ekugqibeleni kubashiye bengenanto kwaye benelisekile.
Phumani kuyo, bantu bam, hleze nibe nenxaxheba kwizono zayo, hleze nibe nenxaxheba kwizibetho zayo. Ngokuba izono zayo ziye zafikelela emazulwini, Nezinto zayo zokungalungisi uzikhumbule uThixo. (ISityhi. 18: 4-5)
Ukuba oku kuvakala ngokukhawuleza, ngoko funda. Kuba lo msebenzi wokomoya uya kuba ngowoMama osikelelekileyo kunye noMoya oyiNgcwele. Into efunekayo kuthi ngu “ewe” wethu, a fiat apho siqala khona ukuzifaka kwezinye izinto ezilula zokuzonwabisa.
UKUBUYELA KWI-ASCETICISM
ukuxhamla | əˌsedəˌsizəm | Umzamo wokomoya okanye ukuziqhelanisa nokuzama ukulunga ukuze ukhule ngokugqibeleleyo kobuKristu.
I-Asceticism yingcinga engenangqondo kwinkcubeko yethu, ethe yondliwa kwiibeleko zesallow zokungakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo kunye nokuthanda izinto eziphathekayo. Kuba konke esinako kulapha kwaye kungoku, kutheni le nto umntu enokuzithiba ngaphandle kokuba, mhlawumbi, aphume entolongweni okanye ubuncinci, aqhubeke nokuzingca (jonga UThixo olungileyo)?
Kodwa imfundiso yamaYuda namaKristu inezityhilelo ezibini ezibalulekileyo. Eyokuqala yeyokuba izinto ezidaliweyo zibonwa “zilungile” nguMdali ngokwaKhe.
Wakubona uThixo konke akwenzileyo, nanko, kulungile kunene. (IGen 1:31)
Okwesibini kukuba ezi zinto zexeshana akufuneki zibekho Izithixo.
Musani ukuziqwebela ubutyebi emhlabeni, apho konakalisa inundu nokubola, nalapho amasela agqobhozayo ebe. Ziqwebeleni ke ubutyebi emazulwini… (Mateyu 6:19-20)
Konke oku kuthetha ukuba imbono yobuKristu ngendalo, yesiqhamo sezandla zomntu, kunye nomzimba wakhe kunye nokuziphatha ngokwesondo kukuba ngokusisiseko zibalulekile. kulungile. Kwiminyaka engama-2000, nangona kunjalo, uqhekeko emva koqhekeko luhlasele oku kulunga kusisiseko kangangokuba nabangcwele abanjengoAugustine okanye uGregory Omkhulu ngamanye amaxesha babedyobheka ngombono omfiliba ngokulunga kwethu. Kwaye oku kuye kwabangela ukuba kubekho ukungakhathali okuyingozi emzimbeni okanye kwiindlela zokuzinyameka ezazingqwabalala ngamanye amaxesha. Ewe, xa wayesele eza kufa, uSt. Francis wavuma ukuba "wayekhohlakele kwiesile lakhe."
Kwelinye icala sisilingo “ekuthambeni”, kusukelo oluqhubekayo lwentuthuzelo nolonwabo, ngaloo ndlela sisiba likhoboka leminqweno yenyama kwaye buthuntu kuMoya kaThixo. Kuba njengoko iSt. Paul isikhumbuza:
Abo bangokwenyama banyamekela izinto zasenyameni; abo ke bangokoMoya banyamekela izinto zaseMoyeni. Ukunyamekela inyama kukufa, kodwa ukunyameka koMoya bubomi noxolo. (KwabaseRoma 8: 5-6)
Ke, kukho ulungelelwano ekufuneka silufumene. UbuKristu abuyiyo "indlela yomnqamlezo" ngaphandle koVuko, kananjalo ngokubhidana. Ayisosidlo esicocekileyo ngaphandle kokuzila ukutya, okanye ukuzila ngaphandle kokuzonwabisa. Eyona nto ibekiweyo kukubeka ubukumkani baseZulwini, uhlala ubeka uThixo nommelwane kuqala. Kwaye ngokuchanekileyo ekuzikhanyeleni oku kufuna oku ukuba siqale ukubufumana uBukumkani bamazulu. UYesu wathi,
Mna ndizele ukuze babe nobomi, babe nabo ke ngokugqithiseleyo. (UYOHANE 10:10)
Ungaqala ukufumana izulu ngoku Okukhona uzinikela kuYesu. Unokuqalisa ukungcamla ubumnandi beParadesi okukhona uzinikela ngakumbi. Unokuqalisa ukungcamla iziqhamo zoBukumkani kokukhona uzixhathisa izilingo zenyama.
Ukuba kukho umntu ofuna ukundilandela, makazincame, athabathe umnqamlezo wakhe, andilandele. Kuba othe wathanda ukuwusindisa umphefumlo wakhe, wolahlekelwa nguwo; ke othe wawulahla umphefumlo wakhe ngenxa yam, wowufumana. (Mat 16: 24-25)
Oko kukuthi, uvuko luza ngendlela yoMnqamlezo — indlela ye ukuzibamba.
ASCETIC ESIXEKWENI
Umbuzo ngowokuba singaphila njani ngokuthembeka kuluntu lwanamhlanje olujikelezwe zizinto ezininzi, ubuqili obuninzi, inkqubela phambili kwezobuchwepheshe, intuthuzelo kunye nolonwabo? Impendulo namhlanje, ngeli lixa, ngeendlela ezithile ayifani kakhulu nooTata basentlango abaleke ngokoqobo umhlaba waya emiqolombeni nakwindawo yokuhlala yedwa. Kodwa umntu ukwenza njani oku esixekweni? Ukwenza njani oku ngaphakathi komxholo wosapho, iiklabhu zebhola ekhatywayo kunye nasemsebenzini?
Mhlawumbi kufuneka sibuze umbuzo ukuba uYesu wangena njani ngamaxesha obuhedeni amaRoma, esitya noonongogo nabaqokeleli berhafu, kodwa ke wahlala "engenasono" [2]cf. Heb 4: 15 Ewe, njengoko iNkosi yethu yatsho, yinto "yentliziyo" -kwindawo apho umntu azibeka khona amehlo.
Isibane somzimba liliso. Xa sukuba iliso lakho lilungile, umzimba wakho uphela wokhanyiseleka. (Mat 6:22)
Kwaye ke, nazi iindlela ezilishumi ezilula ukuba mna nawe siphinde sijonge ngamehlo ethu okomoya nawenyama, kwaye sibe ngabazingxali esixekweni.

Lo mama kaMariya ngendlela yobabalo uqhubeka ngokungaphazanyiswanga kwimvume athe wayinika ngokuthembekileyo kwi-Annunciation kwaye wayigcina ngaphandle kokuxengaxenga phantsi komnqamlezo, de kuzalisekiswe unaphakade kubo bonke abanyuliweyo. Ukunyuselwa ezulwini akazange ayibeke bucala le ofisi isindisayo kodwa ngokuthandazela kwakhe okuninzi kuqhubekeka kusizisela izipho zosindiso olungunaphakade… Yiyo ke le nto iNtombi Enyulu Ebusisiweyo icelwa eCaweni phantsi kwesihloko esithi uMthetheleli, uMncedisi, uMncedisi, noMlamli. -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n.
