"Indawo Yam Eyimfihlo", nguYvonne Ward
SITHANDWA bazalwana noodade,
Imibuliso efudumeleyo kuthando noxolo lweNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu.
Phantse iminyaka emithathu ngoku, bendihlala ndibhala rhoqo amazwi endiva ukuba iNkosi iwabeka entliziyweni yam ngenxa yenu. Uhambo beluphawuleka, kwaye lundichaphazele ngokunzulu.
Ndifumene inani lezicelo ngalo lonke elixesha lokuba le mibhalo ibhalwe kwifom yencwadi. Umphathi wokomoya wale mibhalo undicebisile ukuba ndenze njalo. Ingcebiso yakhe kukuthatha intliziyo yalo msebenzi ubanzi kwaye uwubonakalise kwifom engaphezulu. Ngale ndlela, uya kuba nomfanekiso omfutshane ngakumbi wento iNkosi izama ukuyidlulisa kwisitya esibuthathaka njengam. Ke ngoko, ndiqalisile ukubhala le ncwadi kwaye ndihlanganisa imibhalo ngokufanelekileyo. Ukuba uThixo uyathanda, iya kupapashwa.
Kuyenzeka ukuba oku kudibane kugqitywe uthotho lweenxalenye ezili-10, Ityala leminyaka esixhenxe. Olu luhlu, kwezinye izinto, luyi-distillation ngokwayo kule minyaka mibini idlulileyo, idibanisa aBaseki beCawa, imfundiso yeCatechism, kunye neNcwadi yeSityhilelo zibe nye. Ndiyakwazi ukukuxelela ukuba iziphumo zasemva kwemfazwe eziqhubekayo ngexesha lokubhalwa kwazo zisahleli. Ndidiniwe. Kodwa iNkosi iyaqhubeka indithumela "iingelosi" ukuze zomeleze xa ndiziva ukuba andinakukwazi ukuqhubeka. Umnqophiso wam awukagqitywa; tukujonga inokuba yinxalenye yomsebenzi wam wobufundisi xa incwadi igqityiwe: isishwankathelo esibhaliweyo semibhalo… kodwa inyathelo elinye ngexesha. Sisondela entliziyweni yesi siqhwithi sangoku, kwaye iNkosi ayisayi kusishiya ngokuhlala sithe cwaka (Amosi 3: 7). Kwabo bafuna, baya kufumana. Kwabo unkqonkqozayo, ucango luya kuvulelwa. Abo bevayo baya kuva.
Njengakwixesha elidlulileyo, ukuba iNkosi indinike igama elithile okanye imfundiso ukuba ndiyidlulise kuwe, ndiya kuyenza njalo. Kodwa eyona nto ndijolise kuyo iya kuba kulencwadi- kunye notshintsho oluzisa kusapho lwam…
IXESHA ELITSHA
Umntwana wethu wesibhozo kulindeleke ngo-Okthobha. Ngenkqubo yokuqonda okude, umfazi wam kunye nam ndiziva ilixesha lokuthengisa ibhasi yethu yokhenketho. Njengokuba uninzi lwenu lusazi, ibiyinjongo yethu kule minyaka isibhozo idlulileyo ukuhamba eMntla Melika nakwamanye amazwe nabantwana bethu, sishumayela iVangeli ngelizwi nangomculo. Ndibe nenyhweba yokubhengeza uYesu kumashumi amawaka emiphefumlo! Kodwa intlawulo yenyanga, indleko zepetroli, kunye nokungazinzi oku kongeza kubomi bosapho kusikhokelele ekubeni sikholelwe ukuba eli xesha liza kufikelela esiphelweni. Ewe, sixhomekeke phantse ngokupheleleyo kule ndlela yokulungiselela ukondliwa kwethu. Ke, esi ayisosigqibo silula, kwaye sishiya sixhomekeke ngokupheleleyo kulwalathiso lukaThixo njengoko ndiqhubeka nomsebenzi odla ixesha lokudala le ncwadi. Kodwa akasayi kusishiya. Akakaze. Ndiyathandaza ukuba ndingaze ndimshiye.
EZINYE IIMBONO NGAMAXESHA…
Ndingabonisa kuphela usizi olunzulu njengoko ndibukele imvukelo ekhulayo emhlabeni, ukanti, oku nako kuvunyelwe yintando kaThixo. Kwakukho umngcelele wamabhongo esitabane eSan Francisco, e-USA. Amadoda nabafazi babehamba ze begcwele izitrato bejonge abantwana abancinci. Ukuba nawuphi na omnye ummi wayenokwenza oku ngalo naluphi na usuku olunikiweyo okanye nakweyiphi na enye indlela, uya kubanjwa kwaye ohlwaywe. Kodwa abaphathi abenzi nto kuphela, bayayamkela ngokuthatha inxaxheba kwimingcelele enjalo, njengoko bekunjalo kwiminyhadala yaseMelika naseCanada yakutshanje nakwezinye iindawo zehlabathi. Luphawu lwe ubunzulu bokugula elixhakamfule umhlaba ngoku ojonga ububi njengokulungileyo nokulungileyo njengokubi. Xa bendicinga kwakhona ukuba iNkosi iqhubeka kanjani nokukuvumela oku, impendulo yakhawuleza:
Kungenxa yokuba xa ndithatha isenzo, iya kuba yelizwe liphela kwaye iyakuba yinto eyiyo ngokupheleleyo. Kuya kuphelela ekucocweni kwabangendawo ebusweni bomhlaba.
INkosi inomonde omangalisayo, ilinde ixesha elide kangangoko kunokwenzeka ngaphambi ngokupheleleyo ukususa isithinteli ukuvumela ukungabi namthetho kufezekise incopho yayo emfutshane. Xa esi saqhwithi sikhoyo siphelile, umhlaba uya kuba yindawo eyahlukileyo. Abanye abantu bandicelile ukuba ndibeke izimvo ngonyulo lwaseMelika oluzayo. Into endizakuyithetha kukuba ndiyakholelwa ukuba ezi zinto zikwanceda ukubeka inqanaba kwinto esele ndiyibhalile. Ndibuhlungu, kuba uninzi lwabantu aluwazi amaxesha esiphila kuwo:
Yazini ke le nto kuqala, ukuba ngemihla yokugqibela abagxeki baya kuza bahlekise, bephila ngokweminqweno yabo… (2 Pet. 3: 3)
Kwiinyanga ezimbini ezidlulileyo, kuqhume ubundlobongela obunoburhalarhume-ukubonakaliswa kobubi obungenangqondo obugqubayo kuluntu kwihlabathi liphela. Oku nako kungumqondiso, mhlawumbi obaluleke ngakumbi kunenkanyamba kunye nezikhukula.
Kuya kubakho amaxesha ayoyikekayo ngemihla yokugqibela. Abantu baya kuba ngabazithandayo nabathandi bemali, abanekratshi, abanekratshi, abakhohlakeleyo, abangathobeli bazali babo, abangenambulelo, abangenankolo, abangenabubele, abangenatarhabaxa, abanyolukileyo, abakhohlakeleyo, abathiye okulungileyo, abancethezi, izityhuthutyhuthu, abathiwe lwale likratshi, abathandi beziyolo. endaweni yokuthanda uThixo… (2 Tim 3: 1-4)
Endaweni yokoyisa ububi, le yimiqondiso yokuba inkcubeko yethu ebulalayo sele iza kuphela. La maxesha oxolo alala ngaphaya komda ophukileyo we-post-modernism. Ithemba liyakhanya….
UKUKHUTHAZA
Kukho imiqondiso yeNceba kaThixo esebenzayo: amazwi anamandla kunye nesikhokelo sikaBawo oyiNgcwele; ukuqhubeka kokubonakala kunye nobukho boMama wethu enathi; Inzondelelo kunye nokuzinikezela ngokupheleleyo ndikubonile kwimiphefumlo endikhe ndadibana nayo kuhambo lwam. Siphila "kwixesha lenceba," kwaye kufuneka siqhubeke silindele imimangaliso emikhulu yenceba yakhe.
Uninzi luphantsi kwezilingo ezomeleleyo-ukuhendwa ukuba ulale, ukonakalisa, ukonqena. Izilingo ngoku zahlukile ndiyakholelwa… iziphazamiso ezibonakala zingenabungozi kuzo kodwa sezihleli ziziphazamiso. INkosi iyabazi ubuthathaka bethu, kwaye ke kufuneka siluhlaziye ukholo kunye nokuzinikela kwethu kuyo ngamnye usuku ngaphandle kokuthandabuza, nokuba siwe nzima kangakanani. Akayi kusishiya, nangona sihendwa ukuba simshiye.
Hlala uqinile, njengesikhonkwane phantsi kwesando. Umdlali olungileyo kufuneka athathe isohlwayo ukuze aphumelele. Ngaphezu kwako konke kufuneka sinyamezele yonke into ngenxa kaThixo, ukuze nathi asinyamezele. Yandisa inzondelelo yakho. Funda imiqondiso yamaxesha. Khangela ongaphandle kwexesha, ongunaphakade, ongabonakaliyo oye wabonakala kuthi… —St. UIgnatius wakwa-Antiyokwe, Ileta eya kuPolycarp, I-Liturgy yeYure, Vol III, iphe. 564-565
Masibize ukuthethelelwa kwabangcwele, amadoda nabafazi abanjengoIgnatius, Faustina, noAugustine ababebazi ubuthathaka bethu, kodwa, bathembela kwinceba yakhe kude kube sekupheleni.
Funa ukukholisa amajoni akho kunye nomrhumo wakho; Makungabikho namnye kuni oba ngumphambukeli… UMkristu akazenzi inkosi yakhe; ixesha lakhe lelikaThixo. —St. UIgnatius wakwa-Antiyokwe, Ileta eya kuPolycarp, I-Liturgy yeYure, Vol III, iphe. 568-569
Sisemfazweni — ayonto intsha le. Into entsha linqanaba lomlo esiya kuwo ngoku.Kufuneka sibe neentloko zethu zokomoya malunga nathi; lixesha lokuba njalo
inyhweba kunye nokulinda, kodwa ngomoya wenkululeko noxolo.
Ngoku iNkosi isazisile esidlulileyo nesikhoyo ngoku ngabaprofeti bayo, kwaye usinike amandla okuba singcamle iziqhamo zekamva kwangaphambili. Yiyo loo nto, xa sibona iziprofeto zizalisekiswa ngolungelelwano olumiselweyo, kufuneka sikhule ngokuzeleyo nangokoyikeka kwakhe ... iindlela zeNkosi. Ngaloo maxesha, uloyiko kunye nonyamezelo ziya kuluqinisa ukholo lwethu, kwaye siya kufumana isidingo unyamezelo kunye nokuzibamba njengokuba. Ngaphandle kokuba sibambelele kwezi zinto zilungileyo kwaye sijonge eNkosini, ubulumko, ukuqonda, ulwazi kunye nokuqonda kuya kwenza ubudlelwane obonwabisayo kunye nabo. -Ileta ibhalwe nguBharnabhas, Liturgy yeYure, Vol IV, iphe. 56
Andinakuthetha ngokwaneleyo ukuba ingaba uMthendeleko noVumo luya kukuqinisa kangakanani; indlela iRosari eya kukufundisa ngayo; indlela iZibhalo eziza kukukhokela ngayo. Ungqinelane nezi ntsika zine, kwaye ndiyakholelwa ukuba uyakuba nayo yonke into oyifunayo, okoko nje ubopha ezi zinto zokuzinikela ngentambo yesisa. Ngale ndlela, izidima athetha ngazo uBharnabhas ziya kunkcenkceshelwa ngokufanelekileyo kwaye zichumise kwaye zikhule ngokukhawuleza.
UNXIBELELWANO LOMTHANDAZO

Ikhuriya yakhe encinci,
