CINGA Yentliziyo yakho njengeengqayi zeglasi. Intliziyo yakho injalo Zenziwe Ukuqulatha ulwelo olumsulwa lothando, lukaThixo, oluthando. Kodwa ngokuhamba kwexesha, uninzi lwethu luzalisa iintliziyo zethu ngothando lwezinto-ezingcolise izinto ezibandayo njengelitye. Akukho nto banokuyenza ngentliziyo zethu ngaphandle kokugcwalisa ezo ndawo zibekelwe uThixo. Yiyo ke loo nto uninzi lwethu singamaKristu lusizi kakhulu… sithwele uxanduva lwamatyala, ungquzulwano lwangaphakathi, usizi… kuncinci esinokukunika kuba nathi ngokwethu asisafumani.
Uninzi lwethu luneentliziyo ezibandayo ngamatye kuba sizizalisile ngothando lwezinto zehlabathi. Kwaye xa ilizwe lidibana nathi, silangazelela (nokuba bayayazi okanye abayazi) "ngamanzi aphilayo" kaMoya, endaweni yoko, sigalela entloko kubo amatye abandayo okubawa, ukuzingca, nokuzingca kwethu kuxubene netad yenkolo engamanzi. Bayaziva iimpikiswano zethu, kodwa baqwalasele uhanahaniso lwethu; bayakuxabisa ukuqiqa kwethu, kodwa ababoni "sizathu sokuba", nguYesu. Yiyo le nto uBawo oyiNgcwele esibizele ukuba singamaKristu, kwakhona, ukulahla ukuthanda izinto zehlabathi, eli…
… Iqhenqa, umhlaza woluntu kunye nomhlaza wesityhilelo sikaThixo notshaba lukaYesu. —UPOPA UFRANCIS, Irediyo yaseVatican, Oktobha 4th, 2013
AKUKHO OKULUNGILEYO OKANYE OKUBI
Kufuneka silumke singazenzi iidemon ngezinto eziphathekayo, ngokungathi "ukungabi nazinto" ngandlel 'ithile luphawu lobungcwele. USt. Francis de Sales wakha wathi,
Ke nawe unokuba nobutyebi ngaphandle kokufakwa ityhefu ngabo ukuba ubugcina nje ekhayeni lakho nakwipaji kwaye hayi entliziyweni yakho. -Intshayelelo kuBomi bokuzinikela, Icandelo III, Ch. 11, iphe. 153
Uninzi lwenu luyazi ngokubhala kwam kokugqibela, Inguquko yaseFranciscan, Mna nomfazi wam, emva kwexesha elide lokuqonda, sithathe isigqibo "sokuthengisa yonke into" kwaye siqale kwakhona ngomoya onzulu wobuhlwempu kunye nokulula. Ukuphila ngokwamandla ethu; ukunqanda ukulingwa kokufumana okona kulungileyo, okanye ukuphucula ukuya kokulandelayo, okanye uzame ukunqanda ukungonwabi. Kodwa xa uYesu esithi, "thengisa yonke into," kufuneka siyiqonde le nto kwi 
imeko efanelekileyo. Xa wabiza abapostile ukuba bashiye yonke into bamlandele, abakhange bathengise konke "konke". Bazigcinile iimpahla zabo. UPeter wada wasigcina isikhephe sakhe. Oko kukuthi, ezo zinto zisafuneka ukuze siphile kwaye sakhe uBukumkani bukaThixo akufuneki ukuba zithengiswe, kuphela kukujika kwaye uzithenge kwakhona ngokuchanekileyo kuba ziyafuneka. Ingqiqo sisipho esivela kuThixo.
Endaweni yoko, u-Yesu ufuna ukuba umhlaba ulahlwe ngokukuko ihlabathi. Kwaye wayengenangxaki ngale nto. Njengokuba umakhi ebala iindleko ngaphambi kokuba akhe, no Yesu wathi, abafundi bakhe mabaqonde ukuba babizelwe ukwakha uBukumkani baKhe- hayi obabo.
Kwangokunjalo, wonke umntu kuni ongazishiyiyo zonke iimpahla zakhe, akanakuba ngumfundi wam. (Luka 14:33)
Ngokwenyani kufuneka sihle kulololiwe ungxamisekileyo ungxamisekileyo uluntu lwanamhlanje, olusityhala luze lusitsalele ukuthenga eyona nto ilandelayo, kwaye siphinde sivavanye ubomi bethu. Kufuneka "sibale indleko": ngaba ndiphilela ukwakha ubukumkani bam, okanye uBukumkani bukaThixo?
Kuba othe wathanda ukuwusindisa umphefumlo wakhe, wolahlekelwa nguwo; ke othe wawulahla umphefumlo wakhe ngenxa yam, nangenxa yeendaba ezilungileyo ezi, wowusindisa. Iyintoni inzuzo yokuba ubani azuze lonke ihlabathi aze aphulukane nobomi bakhe? (UMarko 8: 235-36)
Icawe sisonke kwaye kufuneka sonke sizihlube kolu hlanga. Ihlabathi liyasenzakalisa. Kubuhlungu ukufumana umKristu wasemhlabeni… INkosi yethu isixelele ukuba: Asinakho ukukhonza iinkosi ezimbini: nokuba sisebenza imali okanye sikhonza uThixo. -IPOPE FRANCIS, Irediyo yaseVatican, Oktobha 4th, 2013
UMOYA OBULALAYO
Ewe, ayisiyonto incinci leyo. AmaKatolika amaninzi ayacaphuka namhlanje kuba uBawo oyiNgcwele ebaxelela ukuba bajonge kwiziseko njengezona zinto ziphambili ngokubaluleka, kunokuba bajonge imicimbi ephambili yenkcubeko. Isizathu sicace gca: asisabambeki ngokuthembeka emehlweni ehlabathi. Ngubani ophulaphule iCawa yamaKatolika? Amanani ethu okuqhomfa kunye noqhawulo-mtshato awahlukanga kangako kunelizwe inkoliso yamaKatolika isebenzisa izinto zokuthintela inzala; kwaye siphakathi kwabona baphi baphantsi kwingobozi yokuqokelela kuyo yonke iNgqobhoko. Nokuba uninzi lwezinto zethu zonqulo ziye zaluphepha uphawu lwangaphandle olunamandla lokukhetha kwabo u-Yesu, kwaye batshintsha imikhwa yabo kunye neekhola banxiba iisuti kunye nezikipa. UbuKatolika ngamanye amaxesha bubonakala ngathi yenye iklabhu, enye intlanganiso yeveki, eneneni eyenza umahluko omncinci kubomi bomntu okanye kwabanye babangqongileyo.
Eyona nto iyilangazelelayo imiphefumlo eyanxanelweyo namhlanje kukudibana noYesu, hayi ukuxolisa okanye ukuthandabuza. Ezi zinto ziyimfuneko, kodwa ayithathi ndawo yinyaniso esisiseko anayo wonke umKristu obhaptiziweyo
ukuba ngumthwali kaKristu; umthengisi wothando lwamanzi lukaThixo. Oku kuthetha umphefumlo otshisa umlilo kaThixo; ngubani ohlala kwihlabathi elilandelayo ngelixa uhlala ngoku; iintliziyo zabo zingakhathalelanga kuphela umphefumlo womnye, kodwa ngolonwabo kunye nentlalo-ntle yabo. Hayi! Xa sidibana namaKrestu anje, sifuna ukusela ezintliziyweni zabo kuba banikela ngeLiquid engeyoyeli hlabathi. Bajonge emehlweni kwaye bayasithanda, nangona besazi isono sethu! La ngamandla othando, othando lukaThixo.
Wajonga uPetros noYohane, wathi: "Khangela kuthi." … UPetros wathi, “Andinayo isilivere negolide, kodwa endinako ndikunika kona: egameni likaYesu Krestu waseNazoretha, vuka uhambe.” (IZenzo 3: 4-6)
Kodwa ke kungenxa yokuba iCawe sele isemhlabeni, phantse ukuba ayinakho ukubonelela ngala Manzi aPhilayo, ukuba ubungqina bethu buyinyumba. Ngoku sibe yiCawe ethi ngeendlela ezininzi ikwazi ukunikela ngesilivere negolide yokwenyani, endaweni yokuba ibe lulwelo oluxabisekileyo lothando lukaThixo. 
Ukutyelela kwiCawe yakho yamaKatolika ophakathi namhlanje kwilizwe laseNtshona ngokukhawuleza libalisa ibali lebandla emva kwebandla abonwabileyo, kodwa abangonwabanga; Utyebile, kodwa ayisiyonto intle ngokwasemoyeni. Sinexhala kwaye sixhalabile ngezinto ezininzi, njengaye wonke umhlaba. Kwaye ke, ubungqina beCawe buye babanamandla kwaye abukholeleki.
Umoya wehlabathi uyabulala; ibulala abantu; iyabulala iBandla—UPOPU UFRANCIS, Irediyo yaseVatican, Oktobha 4th, 2013
I-St. James iyichaza ngale ndlela:
Zivela phi iimfazwe kwaye zivela phi iimbambano eziphakathi kwenu? Ngaba ayibangelwa ziinkanuko zakho ezenza imfazwe ngaphakathi kwamalungu akho? Uyanqwenela kodwa awunazinto. Uyabulala kwaye uyakhweleta kodwa awukwazi ukufumana; niyalwa nenze imfazwe. Awunayo into kuba awuceli. Uyabuza kodwa awamkeli, ngenxa yokuba ucela ngokungalunganga, ukuze uchithe inkanuko yakho. Bakrexezi! Anazi na ukuba ukuthanda umhlaba kuthetha ubutshaba kunye noThixo? Ke ngoko, nabani na ofuna ukuthanda umhlaba uzenza utshaba lukaThixo. (Yakobi 4: 1)
MUSA UKUTHETHA NOTHIN '
Siyabuza ngokungalunganga, uthi. Oko kukuthi, silandela "izinto" ngenxa yaso, ngenxa yezizathu rhoqo, utshilo uPopu, "yento engento yanto, ikratshi nokuzingca." Siguqula izinto zibe zizithixo. Indlela esibahleka ngayo amaSirayeli ngokunqula ithole legolide-kwaye ujike ujonge ngokungapheliyo kwizikrini ze-LCD kunye nee-smartphones, ukuba awulali nazo. Olu luhlobo lwehlabathi oluthi kumele ziphetshwe. Nangona kunjalo, utshilo uSt ukuthenga kwi umoya wehlabathi.
… Asixoxi ngokungabikho kwezinto; Oku kusilela akuyi kuwukhupha umphefumlo ukuba unqwenela zonke ezi zinto. Sijongene nokuchaswa kwenkanuko yomphefumlo kunye nokwanelisa. Yile nto iyishiya isimahla kwaye ingenanto kuzo zonke izinto, nangona inazo. —St. UYohane woMnqamlezo, Ukunyuka kweNtaba yeKarmele, Incwadi I, Ch. 3, iphe. 123
Kusimahla ukugcwaliswa lulwelo lukaThixo. Kwaye, watsho uSt Paul,
Ndiyazi ngenene ukuhlala phantsi kweemeko eziphantsi; Ndiyazi kananjalo ukuba kunjani ukuba nezinto. Kuzo zonke iimeko nakuzo zonke izinto ndiye ndayifunda imfihlelo yokuba ndonele, ndilambe, ndityebile, ndiswele. Ndinamandla ayo yonke into ngaye lowo undomelezayo. (KwabaseFil 4: 12-13)
Kuya kufuneka sifunde imfihlelo kwakhona: ukusebenzisa yonke into ukuzisa thina kunye nabanye kwindibano kaThixo, nokuba yifolokhwe yesilivere okanye iplastiki. Singakwenza oku kuphela ngokubeka intembelo efana neyomntwana kuYise esiyidingayo, nokuba iyiCadillac okanye inqwelo mafutha, eya kuthi isinike yona. Kodwa ukuzinzisa eyokugqibela xa singayifuni eyangaphambili.
Ubomi bakho mabube kukungathandi mali kodwa yaneliseka koko unako, kuba uthe, "Andiyi kuze ndikushiye." (Heb 13: 5)
Ndifuna ukwabelana nani ngengoma ekwicwecwe lam elitsha malunga nokuzama ukubona izinto ngendlela uSt Paul awazibona ngayo… ezona zinto "azithethi nto" xa kuthelekiswa nothando lukaThixo nothando lwabanye. Ngamana nathi, njengoSt. Paul, singaqala ukubona izinto njengoko zinjalo.
Zonke izinto ndizibalela ekuthini ziyilahleko ngenxa yokulunga kakhulu ekumazini uKristu Yesu iNkosi yam. Ngenxa yakhe ndamkele ukulahleka kwezinto zonke kwaye ndizithatha njengenkunkuma, ukuze ndimzuze uKrestu kwaye ndifumaneke kuye… (Phil 3: 8-9)
Siyaqhubeka nokunyuka ukuya kwinjongo yabantu abayi-1000 abanikela nge- $ 10 / ngenyanga kwaye malunga ne-65% yendlela apho.
Enkosi ngenkxaso yakho kule nkonzo yexesha elizeleyo.
