NDIBENE le imvakalelo sasiyiyo hayi uya kwamkelwa e-United States.
UBUSUKU OBUTSHA
NgoLwesine weveki ephelileyo, sifike eCanada / e-US xa sinqumla umda sazisa amaphepha ethu ukuba singene kweli lizwe ukuze sithathe inxaxheba kubulungiseleli. "Molo, ndingumthunywa waseKhanada…" Emva kokubuza imibuzo embalwa, iarhente yomda yathi mandisondele yayalela usapho lwethu ukuba lume ngaphandle kwebhasi. Njengokuba umoya obandayo owawusondela ubabamba abantwana, ubukhulu becala benxibe iibhulukhwe ezimfutshane kunye nemikhono emifutshane, iiarhente zorhwebo zikhangela ibhasi ukusuka esiphelweni ukuya esiphelweni (ndikhangela ntoni, andazi). Emva kokukhwela kwakhona, ndacelwa ukuba ndingene kwisakhiwo sokungenisa elizweni.
Into ebekufanele ukuba yinkqubo elula iguqulwe yaziiyure ezimbini zokuncinwa. Iarhente yokungenisa elizweni yayingakholelwa ukuba siza eMelika nomsebenzi wobuvangeli ngenxa yendleko zethu neecawa. Undibuze, emva koko umfazi wam wahlukana, waphinda wandibuza. Ndathathwa iminwe, ndafota, ekugqibeleni ndala ukungena. Yayiyintsimbi yesithathu ekuseni xa sibuyela kwidolophu ekufutshane yaseCanada, abantwana bethu abasixhenxe kunye nekharavani ezele izixhobo zesandi.
Ngentsasa elandelayo, safowunela iicawa apho ndandisiya khona ukuba ndithethe kwaye ndicule, sabacela ukuba bacacise kwiileta zabo kuthi ulungiselelo lwemali. Emva kokuqokelela zonke iifeksi zethu, sabuyela umda. Ngeli xesha, imibuzo yayiyinkohlakalo kwaye isoyikiso esigutyungelweyo senziwa kum ukuba ndinyanzelekile ukuba ndixoxe ngalo mbandela. "Buyela eCanada," utshilo iarhente elawulayo.
Ndabuyela kubhasi wethu wokhenketho, ndiziva ndindisholo ngaphakathi. Sineziganeko ezilithoba ezikhethiweyo-ezinye zazo zibhukishe kwiinyanga ezidlulileyo. "Kuphelile," ndatsho kumfazi wam, uLea. "Siyagoduka."
Ndiqale ngeyure ezintandathu xa ndigoduka xa uLea ngequbuliso ebuza ukuba ndiza kudlula ukuze enze umnxeba wokugqibela. Ndizokubiza umda, utshilo. "Intoni? Baza kundivalela ngeli xesha!" Ndakhalaza. Kodwa wanyanzelisa. Ukufika kwakhe emnxebeni nomphathi owandigocagoca ngemibuzo, wathi akukho nto iphosakeleyo: "Ayisiyo mali. Size apha ukwenza ubulungiseleli, kwaye abantu abaninzi bathembele kuthi. Ukuba siyavuma ukurhoxisa iifizi zethu kwaye iicawe zikuthumele ngefeksi ngenxa yoko, ungaphinda ucinge kwakhona? " Iarhente yaqala ukuqhankqalaza, kodwa yeka ngesiquphe, yaphefumlela phezulu yathi, "Kulungile, bangazithumela ngefeksi ngaphezulu-kodwa andenzi zithembiso."
INYANISO IYA KUKUKHULULELA
Ndiqokelele abantwana ndaya nabo kwindawo yokutya iilori besitya isidlo sakusasa silindile. Njengokuba abantwana betshonile, bendicinga ngento eyenzekileyo kwisakhiwo sesiko… kodwa amazwi omfazi wam ngawona athe nca entlokweni yam: "Sinobulungiseleli ekufuneka sisenzile."
Kwalayita izibane. Ngesiquphe, ndaqonda ukuba iNkosi izama ukundibonisa iiyure ezi-24 zokugqibela zengcinezelo: bendisenza konke endinako ukukwenza my fihla… kodwa bendingenzanga konke endinako ukuzisa iVangeli apho iNkosi indikhokelela khona. Andizange ndikulungele ukuza ngaphandle kweendleko. Ndeva iNkosi isithi,
IVangeli ayizi ngexabiso. Ihlawulwe nguNyana wam… kwaye jonga kwixabiso awalihlawulayo.
Ndagcwaliswa ngesiquphe kukudana okuxubene novuyo. "Ewe, unyanisile Nkosi. Kufanele ukuba ndikulungele ukuya naphina apho undithuma khona ngenxa yemiphefumlo ethembele ngokupheleleyo kulungiselelo lwakho. Bendingahamba ngaphandle kweendleko!"
Ukubuyela kwam ebhasini yokhenketho, ndabelana noLea ukuba ndiziva ukuba iNkosi ithi kufuneka sitshintshe indlela ebesisebenza ngayo. Ayikuko ukuba sisebenzisa imali-uThixo uyazi ukuba besikhe saphantse sanamaxesha amaninzi. Kwaye ayisiyiyo le yokuba besicela imali eninzi kakhulu. Kodwa besicela ixabiso, kwaye ezinye iicawa nezikolo ziye azakwazi ukuyibhatala.
Ndaguqa ebhedini yethu ndalila, ndicela uxolo kuThixo. "Nkosi, usicelile ukuba sizise iVangeli yakho emhlabeni. Siya kuya naphi na apho ucela khona ngaphandle kwendleko. Sibeka ithemba lethu ekulungeni kwakho nasekuboneleleni kwakho. Sixolele ngokungathembeli kuwe, Abba Bawo." Emva kokuba sithandazile, sobabini noLea sazaliswa yimvakalelo enzulu inkululeko.
Malunga neyure kamva, yakhala iselfowuni. Yayingummeli womda. "Kulungile, siza kukuvumela ungene." Emva kweeyure ezintathu, safika xa sasibhukisha okokuqala — kanye kuloo mzuzu wawuza kuqala ngawo.
UMOYA WEST. Indlela yokubhengezwa Frances
Ngosuku olulandelayo, ndaya ecaweni ukuya kuthandaza ngaphambi kweSidlo seNkosi esikhethekileyo. Ndaliphosa ixesha lam lokuthandaza kusuku olungaphambi kwalonto ngenxa yayo yonke ingxwabangxwaba kunye nesiphithiphithi emdeni. Ndigqibe kwelokuba ndibuyele emva ndicamngce ngokufundwa kwosuku lwangaphambili, kokubini kwiMisa nakwiOfisi yokuFunda. Ndothuka xa ndiqala ukufunda…
Usuku lwangaphambili lomthendeleko St Francis wase-Assisi. Le yingcwele eyashiya ngasemva ukhuseleko lobutyebi bayo, endaweni yayo, yaxhomekeka ngokupheleleyo kulwalathiso lukaThixo ngelixa eshumayela iVangeli ngobomi bakhe.
Ukufundwa kweOfisi yokuqala yolo suku yayivela eSt.
Ngenxa yakhe ndamkele ukulahleka kwezinto zonke kwaye ndizithatha njengenkunkuma, ukuze ndimzuze uKristu ndifumaneke kuye… (Phil 3: 8-9)
Ngelixa ndizama ukufunxa elo gama, ndiye ndajonga kufundo lwesibini olwaluyileta evela eSt.
UYise wathanda ukuba uNyana wakhe osikelelweyo ozukileyo, awasinika yena, wazalelwa thina; athi ngelakhe igazi, azenze idini, abe sisisulu sedini lomnqamlezo. Oku kwakungeke kwenziwe kuye ngaye zonke izinto zenziwe ngaye, kodwa ngenxa yezono zethu. Yenzelwe ukusishiya nomzekelo wendlela yokulandela ekhondweni lakhe.
Hayi uyolo kwaye banoyolo abo bayithandayo iNkosi kwaye benza njengoko iNkosi ngokwayo yathi kwiindaba ezilungileyo: Uze uyithande ke iNkosi uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho iphela, nangomphefumlo wakho uphela, nommelwane wakho njengawe siqu.
Amadoda aphulukana nazo zonke izinto eziphathekayo abazishiya ngasemva kweli hlabathi, kodwa bahamba nembuyekezo yesisa sabo kunye namalizo abapha wona ... Akufuneki silumke kwaye silumke ngokwenyama. Endaweni yoko kufuneka silula, sithobeke kwaye sinyulu. -I-Liturgy yeeyure, IVol IV, iphe. 1466.
Okwangoku, iinyembezi ziphinde zagcwala amehlo am xa bendibona ukuba iNkosi indiphatha ngothando, inobubele ngokwaneleyo ukuba indilungise-mna bendizama ukuba "sisilumko silumke" kodwa ndingenalo ukholo kunye nentliziyo esulungekileyo. Kodwa akazange agqibe ukuthetha. Ndijonge kufundo lweMisa lwangosuku olungaphambili.
Namhlanje yingcwele kuNdikhoyo uThixo wakho. Musani ukuba lusizi, kwaye musani ukulila… kuba ukonwaba eNkosini kumele ukuba kube ngamandla enu… Yithi cwaka, kuba namhlanje ingcwele, kwaye ningabi buhlungu. (Neh 8: 1-12)
Ewe, ndayiva le nkululeko imangalisayo emphefumlweni wam, kwaye ndandonwabile! Kodwa bendothukile cwaka yile nto ndiyifundileyo kwiVangeli elandelayo:
Isivuno sikhulu kodwa abasebenzi bambalwa, cela inkosi yesivuno ukuba ithumele abasebenzi kwisivuno sayo. Hambani indlela yenu; niyabona, mna ndinithuma njengeemvana phakathi kweengcuka. Musa ukuphatha ingxowa yemali, akukho ngxowa, nazimbadada… yitya usele into oyinikwayo, kuba umsebenzi ufanelwe yimbuyekezo yakhe. (ULuka 10: 1-12)
UXOLO
Uninzi lwenu luyazi, o
Ngawo la mazwi ndiyivileyo iNkosi iyithethileyo, kwaye endiyibhalileyo apha, yile iminyaka yobufundisi iyaphela. Oko kukuthi, indlela yakudala yokwenza izinto, iimodeli zehlabathi esisekele kuzo sasebenza kubulungiseleli bethu, iyaphela. Kufanelekile ke ngoko, ukuba iqale kum.
Ndifuna ukucela uxolelo kuMzimba kaKristu ngokucela umrhumo ngomsebenzi endiwenzayo kwezinye zeendawo endiye ndaya kuzo, ngakumbi kwezo ndawo bezingenakho ukuhlawula ubulungiseleli bam. Mna noLea sivumelene ukuba siza kuya apho siziva ukuba iNkosi isithumela khona ngaphandle kwendleko. Ngokuqinisekileyo siyakwamkela iminikelo yokuxhasa umsebenzi wethu nokondla abantwana bethu. Kodwa asifuni ukuba oko kube ngumqobo osisikhubekiso ekushunyayelweni kweVangeli.
Sithandazele, ukuze sithembeke njengoko iNkosi isithumela esivunweni…
Ndiya kuqhayisa ngokukhulu kubuthathaka bam, ukuze amandla kaKristu ahlale nam. (2 Kor. 12: 9)
Nonke nina ninxaniweyo, yizani emanzini, Wena ungenamali, yiza, yamkele ingqolowa utye; Yiza ngaphandle kwentlawulo ngaphandle kwexabiso, usele iwayini nobisi! (Isaya 55: 1)
