Uxolo asikokungabikho nje kwemfazwe…
Uxolo “luzolo.”
-Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-2304
NGENYE ngoku, nanjengokuba ixesha lijikeleza ngokukhawuleza kwaye ngokukhawuleza kwaye nesantya sobomi sifuna ngaphezulu; nangoku kungavisisani phakathi kwamaqabane neentsapho; nangoku ingxoxo ethandekayo phakathi kwabantu iyachitheka kwaye amazwe akhathalele ukuya emfazweni… nangoku sinokufumana uxolo lokwenene.
Kodwa kufuneka siqale siqonde ukuba yintoni "uxolo lokwenene". Umfundi wezakwalizwi ongumFrentshi, uFr. U-Léonce de Grandmaison (d. 1927), wayibeka kakuhle:
Uxolo esilunikwa lihlabathi kukungabikho kokubandezeleka komzimba kunye nolonwabo lweentlobo ezahlukeneyo. Uxolo oluthembisa uYesu kwaye alunika abahlobo bakhe sesinye isitampu. Ayibikho ekubandezelekeni nasexhaleni kodwa kukungabikho kwengxabano ngaphakathi, kubunye bomoya wethu ngokunxulumene noThixo, kuthi nakwabanye. -Thina noMoya Oyingcwele: Uthetha nabantu abangooLayman, iZibhalo zoMoya zikaLéonce de Grandmaison (Abapapashi beFides); cf. Yimagnificat, NgoJanuwari 2018, iphe. 293
Ingaphakathi isiphithiphithi ophanga uxolo lwenene lomphefumlo. Kwaye oku kuphazamiseka sisiqhamo esingakhange siqwalaselwe ngeke kunye nokungalawulwa inkanuko. Yiyo loo nto izizwe ezizizityebi emhlabeni zinabemi abangonwabanga nabangazinzanga: uninzi lunayo yonke into, kodwa okwangoku alunanto. Uxolo lwenene alulinganiswa ngento onayo, kodwa kwinto onayo.
Kwaye ayingombandela nje hayi ukuba izinto. Kuba njengoko iSt. John of the Cross icacisa, "oku kuswela akuyi kuwukhupha umphefumlo ukuba usanqwenela zonke ezi zinto." Endaweni yokuba ngumcimbi wokulahlwa okanye ukuhluthwa kweenkanuko zomphefumlo kunye neziyolo ezishiya zihluthi kwaye zingenasiphelo.
Kuba izinto zehlabathi azinakungena emphefumlweni, azizizo ngokwazo ukusokoliswa okanye ukwenzakala kuyo; Endaweni yoko, ngumnqweno kunye nokutya ngaphakathi okubangela ukonakala xa kusetelwe kwezi zinto. -Ukunyuka kweNtaba yeKarmele, Incwadi yokuQala, Isahluko 4, n. 4; Imisebenzi eqokelelweyo yaseSt.Yohane woMnqamlezo, iphe. 123; Ikhutshwe ngu-Kieran Kavanaugh kunye no-Otilio Redriguez
Kodwa ukuba umntu unazo ezi zinto, uthini ke? Umbuzo, endaweni yoko, kukuba kutheni unabo kwasekuqaleni? Ngaba usela iikomityi zekofu yonke imihla ukuze uvuke, okanye uzithuthuzele? Ngaba uyatya ukuba uphile, okanye uphilela ukutya? Ngaba wenza uthando kwiqabane lakho ngendlela ekhuthaza umthendeleko okanye ethatha ukwanelisa? UThixo akayilahli into ayenzileyo kwaye akagwebi ukonwaba. Yintoni uThixo ayivumeleyo ngohlobo lomyalelo ukuguqula ulonwabo okanye izidalwa zibe nguthixo, zibe sisithixo esincinci.
Uze ungabi nathixo bambi ngaphandle kwam. Uze ungazenzeli umfanekiso oqingqiweyo, nokuba ngowayiphi na into emilise esezulwini phezulu, nesemhlabeni phantsi, nesemanzini aphantsi komhlaba. Uze ungaqubudi kwezo nto, ungazikhonzi; (IEksodus 20: 3-4)
INkosi eyasidala ngothando iyazi ukuba yiyo yodwa ukuzalisekiswa kwayo yonke iminqweno. Yonke into ayenzileyo, okona kulungileyo, ikukubonakaliswa kokulunga kwaKhe kwalatha kuMthombo. Ukurhalela into okanye esinye isidalwa kukuphosa injongo kwaye ube likhoboka lazo.
Yimani ngoko enkululekweni, athe uKristu wasikhululela kuyo; yima uqinile kwaye ungabuyeli kwakhona kwidyokhwe yobukhoboka. (Gal 5: 1)
Yiminqweno yethu, kunye nokungazinzi okuvelisayo, okuba uxolo lwenene.
… Inkululeko ayinakuhlala entliziyweni elawulwa yiminqweno, entliziyweni yekhoboka. Ihlala entliziyweni ekhululiweyo, entliziyweni yomntwana. —St. UJohn woMnqamlezo, Ibid. 6, iphe. 126
Ukuba ufuna ngokwenene (kwaye ngubani ongafuniyo?) “Uxolo olugqithisele kuko konke ukuqonda” Kuyimfuneko ukuba uzityumze ezi zithixo, uzenze zithotyelwe kwintando yakho-hayi ngenye indlela. Yile nto uYesu ayithethayo xa esithi:
… Nabani na kuni ongalahli konke anako akanakuba ngumfundi wam. (Luka 14:33)
UYesu uyafuna, kuba unqwenela ulonwabo lwethu lwenene. -UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, uMyalezo weSuku loLutsha kwiHlabathi liphela wowama-2005, eVictoria City, Agasti 27, 2004, Zenit.org
Ukungena koku kuzincama kufana "nobusuku obumnyama", utshilo uJohn woMnqamlezo, kuba umntu uthintela izivamvo “zokukhanya” kokuchukumisa, ukungcamla, ukubona, njl. Njl. U-God Catherine Doherty, "ngumqobo oma phakathi kwam noThixo." [1]IPoustinia, p. 142 Ke, ukuzikhanyela kufana nokungena kubusuku apho kungasekho zivamvo ezikhokelela omnye empumlweni, kodwa ngoku, ukholo lomntu kwiLizwi likaThixo. Obu “busuku bokholo”, umphefumlo kufuneka wamkele ukuthembela okomntwana ukuba uThixo uyokwaneliseka ngokwenyani-nanjengoko inyama ikhala ngenye indlela. Kodwa endaweni yokukhanya kokuqonda kwezidalwa, umntu ulungiselela intliziyo ukuba ibe nokuKhanya okungabonakaliyo kukaKristu, oluyinyaniso lokuphumla noxolo lwethu.
Yizani kum nonke nina nibulalekayo, nisindwayo ngumthwalo, ndoninika ukuphumla. Thabathani idyokhwe yam niyithwale, nifunde kum; ngokuba ndinobulali, ndithobekile ngentliziyo; noyifumanela ukuphumla imiphefumlo yenu. Kuba idyokhwe yam imnandi, nomthwalo wam ulula. (Mat 11: 28-30)
Ekuqaleni, oku kubonakala kungenakwenzeka. “Ndiyayithanda iwayini yam! Ndiyakuthanda ukutya kwam! Ndiyayithanda icuba lam! Ndiyayithanda isini sam! Ndiyazithanda iimuvi zam!…. ” Siyaqhankqalaza kuba siyoyika- njengendoda esisityebi eyashiya uYesu ilusizi kuba yayisoyika ukuphulukana nezinto zayo. Kodwa uCatherine ubhala ukuba into eyahlukileyo ichanekile kulowo ulahlayo abangaboniyo iminqweno:
Apho kukho i-kenosis [ukuzikhuphela ngokwakho] akukho loyiko. -UMkhonzi kaThixo Catherine de Hueck Doherty, IPoustinia, p. 143
Akukho loyiko kuba umphefumlo awusavumeli iinkanuko zawo ziwenze ube likhoboka elilusizi. Ngesiquphe, iziva inesidima ebingazange ibekho ngaphambili kuba umphefumlo uphalaza ubuxoki kunye nabo bonke ubuxoki awabuzalayo. Endaweni yokoyika, endaweni yoko luthando-ukuba kuphela ziimbewu zokuqala zothando oluyinyani. Kuba enyanisweni, ayikokulangazelela okungapheliyo kolonwabo, ukuba akunjalo engalawuleki Ukunqwenela, oyena nobangela wokungonwabi?
Zivela phi iimfazwe kwaye zivela phi iimbambano eziphakathi kwenu? Ngaba ayibangelwa ziinkanuko zakho ezenza imfazwe ngaphakathi kwamalungu akho? (Yakobi 4: 1)
Asikhe saneliswe yiminqweno yethu ngokuchanekileyo kuba into ebonakalayo ayinako ukwanelisa oko kokomoya. Endaweni yoko, “Ukutya kwam,” UYesu wathi, Kukwenza ukuthanda kwalowo undithumileyo. [2]John 4: 34 Ukuba "likhoboka" likaKristu, ukuthatha idyokhwe yokuthobela iLizwi lakhe, kukuthatha indlela yenkululeko yokwenene.
Nawuphi na omnye umthwalo uyakucinezela kwaye akutyumze, kodwa uKristu ngokuthatha umthwalo kuwe. Nawuphi na omnye umthwalo unzima, kodwa uKrestu ukukunika amaphiko. Ukuba ususa amaphiko entaka, ungabonakala uthabatha ubunzima, kodwa okukhona ususa ubunzima, kokukhona ubotshela emhlabeni. Nantsi ke emhlabeni, kwaye ubufuna ukuyisusa kubunzima; buyisela ubunzima bamaphiko ayo kwaye uza kubona ukuba ibhabha njani. —St. UAugustine, Iintshumayelo, n. I-126
Xa uYesu ekucela ukuba "uthabathe umnqamlezo wakho", "nithandane", "nilahle konke", kukhangeleka ngathi ubeka umthwalo kuwe onokuphulukanisa nolonwabo. Kodwa ngokuchanekileyo kukuthobela yena oko “Niyakufumana ukuphumla.”
Uya kuyifumana uxolo lokwenene.
Nonke nina nihamba nithuthunjiswa, nixhwalekile, nisindwa ngamaxhala neminqweno yenu, hambani kubo, yizani kum ndiza kunihlaziya; kwaye uya kufumana ukuphumla kwemiphefumlo yenu ethi iminqweno isuse kuni. —St. UJohn woMnqamlezo, Ibid. Ch. 7, n. 4, iphe. 134
Ukuba ungathanda ukukuxhasa oku
inkonzo yexesha elizeleyo,
cofa iqhosha apha ngezantsi.
Ndikusikelele kwaye ndiyabulela!
Ukuhamba noMark kwi The Ngoku iLizwi,
cofa kwibhena engezantsi ukuya rhuma.
I-imeyile yakho ayizokwabelwana naye nabani na.
