Imibhalo yeLigugu Apha

I sukucinga ukuba ndim kuphela. Ndiyiva kwabancinci nakwabadala: ixesha libonakala ngathi liyakhawuleza. Kwaye ngayo, kukho intsingiselo yeentsuku ezithile ngokungathi umntu uxhonywe ziinzipho emngceleni wentshukumo ejikelezayo. Ngamazwi ka-Fr. UMarie-Dominique Philippe:

Sisingise esiphelweni sexesha. Ngoku sisondela esiphelweni sexesha, kokukhona siya kukhawuleza-yile nto ingaqhelekanga. Kukho, ngokungathi kunjalo, ukukhawulezisa okubaluleke kakhulu ngexesha; kukho ukukhawulezisa ngexesha njengoko kukho ukukhawulezisa kwisantya. Kwaye sihamba ngokukhawuleza nangokukhawuleza. Kuya kufuneka sikhathalele oku ukuze siqonde okwenzekayo kwihlabathi lanamhlanje. -ICawa yamaKatolika Ekupheleni kweXesha, URalph Martin, iphe. 15-16

Kufuneka sinikele ingqalelo kuba ingozi kukuba sizivumela ukuba sibanjwe sesi saqhwithi sikhulu ukwenza Ukutsalwa yimimoya ekhohlisayo yesi saqhwithi siwele emnyango woluntu -ukufakwa kwiziphazamiso ezizigidi, imisebenzi eliwaka, iminqweno elikhulu… kude nenye into ebaluleke kakhulu: kukuba UThixo ungowokuqala.

INgcwele uJohn Paul II yabhala:

Ixesha lethu lixesha lokuhamba rhoqo okuhlala kukhokelela ekuphumleni, ngomngcipheko wokuba "sikwenzele". Kufuneka sisichase esi silingo ngokuzama "ukubakho" ngaphambi kokuzama "ukwenza". —UAPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Novo Milenio Ineunte, n. I-15

Kuyinyani: sikwisiqhwithi esikhulu ngeli lixa, kwaye ke, kubalulekile ukuba Sabela, ikwayinto enye nokuthi, "ukuphumla kuThixo" okanye "ukubakho." Kodwa kanjani? Yonke imihla, ndifumana unogumbe wezinto ezikhuphisana nexesha lam. Ayisiyo ukuba eminye imicimbi ayibalulekanga. Kodwa okubalulekileyo kukufumana izinto eziphambili ngokubaluleka. Kwaye kuqala ngokwenza uThixo kuqala.

Funa kuqala ubukumkani bukaThixo nobulungisa bakhe, kwaye zonke ezi zinto [ufuna] ziya kunikwa ngaphandle. (Mat 6:33)

Ukuba into yokuqala endiyenzayo xa ndivuka ekuseni ndifunda iindaba, jonga i-imeyile, uskrole u-Facebook, uskene i-Twitter, ujikeleze i-Instagram, uphendule kwizicatshulwa, funda iindaba ezingakumbi, ubuyisele umnxeba… kulungile, andifane ndibeke uThixo phambili . Endaweni yoko, kufuneka sihlangane kusasa, sijonge ngaphaya kwehlathi leziphazamiso kunye nezilingo, kwaye sijolise amehlo ethu "kuYesu, inkokeli kunye nomphelelisi wokholo." ^[1]cf. Heb 12: 2 Mnike imizuzu elishumi elinesihlanu yokuqala… Kwaye iyakuqala ukutshintsha ubomi bakho.

Uthando olungagungqiyo lweNkosi alupheli, inceba yakhe ayipheli; zintsha ntsasa nganye… kusasa uyandiva; kusasa ndithandaza kuwe, ndibukele ndilindile. (IZili.3: 22-23; Nd 5: 4)

Ke ngoku, uqala usuku lwakho eNkosini. Ngoku, uba lelo "sebe" lidityaniswe "noMdiliya", onguYesu, ukuze "incindi" yoMoya oyiNgcwele iwele kuwe. Lowo ngumahluko kwabaninzi, nangaluphi na usuku, phakathi kobomi bokomoya nokufa.

Mna ndingumdiliya, nina ningamasebe. Lowo uhleli kum, ndibe mna ndihleli kuye, yena uthwala isiqhamo esininzi, ngokuba ngaphandle kwam aninakwenza nto. (UYohane 15: 5)

[UBawo] akasiniki isipho sakhe soMoya. (IVangeli yanamhlanje)

Ukufuna kuqala ubulungisa baKhe ngoko, ayikokumfuna kuphela ngomthandazo, kodwa kukufuna yakhe ngeke, Lakhe indlela, yakhe icebo. Kwaye oku kuthetha ukuba ngumntwana, ulahliwe, uzikhethele my ingaba, my indlela, yam iplani. Yiyo ke le nto kuthetha ukuba "ulungile" kwiZibhalo: ukuba ngumntu ozinikezeleyo, othobekileyo, kwaye athobele intando engcwele kaThixo. Kodwa jonga ukuba zeziphi na izithembiso “kwabalungileyo”:

Xa udanduluka kakuhle, uyabeva, yaye uyabahlangula kuko konke ukubandezeleka kwabo. (INdumiso yanamhlanje, 34)

Kwaye kwakhona,

Zininzi iingxaki zomntu olilungisa, kodwa uNdikhoyo uyamhlangula kuzo zonke.

Uyabona, INkosi ayihlangulanga abanye benu kwizilingo zenu kuba anikafundi ukubeka uThixo tanci. Ulonwabo lwakho luxhomekeke ekubekeni kuye ukuxhomekeka kwakho kuye. Kwaye ufuna ukuba wonwabe! Ndiyaphinda:

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

Ufuna ukuba ube evuyayo!

Ukuba nithi niyigcine imithetho yam, hlalani eluthandweni lwam; njengokuba mna ndayigcinayo imithetho kaBawo, ndahlala eluthandweni lwakhe. Ezi zinto ndizithethile kuni, ukuze uvuyo lwam luhlale kuni, luthi novuyo lwenu luzaliseke. Nguwo lo umthetho wam: thandanani, njengoko ndinithandayo nina. (UYohane 15: 10-12)

Ke, ngoku siyabona ukuba indlela eya eluxolweni ngokwenyani novuyo-nokuba kuphakathi kwesi saqhwithi-kukubeka uThixo phambili, nommelwane wam okwesibini. Ndingowesithathu.

Okokugqibela, ukubeka uThixo kuqala akuthethi kuthi kuyasuswa iminqamlezo kunye nezilingo, kodwa kunoko, kunika ubabalo olungaphaya kwendalo lokuthwala, ukulala, nokuxhoma kubo. Le yindlela yokomoya ekhokelela kutshintsho lwenene, ekuvukeni komntu uThixo awenze ukuba ube nguye. ^[2]cf. Makhe aphakame kuwe Ngaba le asiyonto wayithethayo uYesu?

… Ngaphandle kokuba ukhozo lwengqolowa luwele emhlabeni luze lufe, luhlala lukhozo nje lwengqolowa; kodwa ukuba iyafa, ivelisa isiqhamo esininzi. Lowo uwuthandayo umphefumlo wakhe, wolahlekelwa nguwo; lowo uwuthiyayo umphefumlo wakhe kweli hlabathi, wowulondolozela ubomi obungunaphakade. (UYOHANE 12: 24-25)

Kufuneka ubeke uThixo kuqala ukuze ube nethemba lokuthwala isiqhamo.
