UyiMpiliso Yethu-Ilizwi Ngoku

Ukuphilisa ukuChukumisa by UFrank P. Ordaz

EMVA oku kubhala ubupostile lelinye inqanaba lenkonzo elenzeka ngokubhalelana kwam nemiphefumlo evela kwihlabathi liphela. Mva nje, kukho umtya ohambelana Ukoyika, nangona olo loyiko lungezizathu ezahlukeneyo.

Olona loyiko luxhaphakileyo phakathi kwabafundi bam ngeli xesha nguPope Francis, uloyiko lokuba uya kugalela inyaniso okanye atshintshe “uqheliselo lokwalusa”, oluya kutshintsha imfundiso ngempumelelo. Aba bafundi bathanda ukuphonononga onke amarhe, yonke intshukumo, lonke ixesha lokuqeshwa, onke amagqabantshintshi, zonke izenzo zikaBawo Oyingcwele, bezitolika rhoqo Umoya wokurhanela.

Kwaye kukho abo boyikayo oko banokukubona ngokucacileyo okwenzekayo ngeenxa zonke kubo: ukuwa kwempucuko yaseNtshona, ukunyamezela ukunyamezela ubuKatolika bokwenyani, ukwanda kwemfazwe kunye nobundlobongela kwihlabathi jikelele njengoko bebukele ngexesha lokwenyani. ukuvulwa kwe AmaTywina aSixhenxe oVukelo.

Kuphinde kubekho abo boyikayo ubunyani; yokujonga imiqondiso yamaxesha nokuvuma ukuba sisondele Ukuphela Kweli Xesha nawo wonke umdlalo owaxelwa kwangaphambili ziZibhalo, iNenekazi Lethu nooPopu. Badla ngokuba ngabo bangafuni kwanto yakwenza nabo bonke “obo bumnyama nentshabalalo” nabasuka nje benze ngathi yonke into iza kuphinda izisebenzele. ^[1]Kutheni le nto ooPopu bengekhwaza?

Kwaye kukho abo baphila nje imihla ngemihla besoyika ukujongana nodandatheko, ukuba likhoboka, ukungavisisani kwentsapho, usizi lomtshato, nobunzima bemali.

Kwaye ke, abaninzi benu bangamalolo kwaye badakumbile; udidekile, ulahlekile, kwaye ubhidekile. Uzikhathaza ngonqabiseko lwakho, enoba uya kuba nokutya okwaneleyo, amanzi nephepha langasese kusini na; ingaba amandla okanye irhasi yendalo iya kuhlala ikhona; ingaba inzala iza kunyuka; nokuba uya kuphulukana nemali oyigcinileyo; nokuba abantwana bakho baya kusindiswa na… kwaye ngale ndlela yokuphelelwa lithemba, abanye bafikelela kwintuthuzelo yokutya, utywala, icuba, imifanekiso engamanyala, ukusefa okungapheliyo kuFacebook, kumabonwakude, okanye kwimidlalo. Kwaye oku kukhokelela kolona loyiko lubi: ukuba uThixo ngoku ukulahlileyo; ukuba Wanele ngawe; ukuba Ukubona ulusizi, ulizothe, olalanisayo, ongenamsebenzi, nongendawo.

ITHEMBA ELISEMTHETHWENI

Kwaye ke, ndifuna ukukunika ithemba namhlanje. Ayilothemba lobuxoki. Ayilothemba elenza ngathi eli “xesha lenceba” elithi St. Faustina kunye noPopu Francis siphila kulo ngandlel’ ithile luthando olunye olukhulu ngokuchasene noko likuko ngokwenene: ixesha lokubuyela koonyana bolahleko ngaphambi kokuba uThixo abahlambulule. Umhlaba ngokohlwaywa (kwaye loo nto ibeka abanye kwi-tizzy embi kakhulu. Kodwa ungafa ebuthongweni bakho ngobu busuku, ngoko ungakhathazeki.)

Kwaye hayi, ithemba endifuna ukulinika namhlanje ayisosigwebo esikhawulezayo; iliza elilula lesandla ukwenza zonke iingxaki zakho zinyamalale. Hayi, ithemba endifuna ukukunika lona lelo UYesu Kristu ulapha, phezu kwazo nje iimvakalelo zakho ezichaseneyo noko. Ukuba uziva ukuba uzifihlile kuye kuwe, kungenxa yokuba ufuna ukuba uhlale umfuna. Kuba kungolu luvo lokungabikho kunye nokulahlwa apho lonke uloyiko lwakho, izinyanzelo, kunye nobuthathaka bakho bufika phezulu; ukuba ukuzithanda kwakho, ukuncamathela, kunye nezithixo zityhiliwe. Ngoba? Ukuze ubabone kwaye, ngethemba, ngokuzithoba, ubanikele kuYesu. Ithetha ntoni le nto? Kuthetha uku phila kulo moya wentlupheko ekuzinikeleni ngokupheleleyo kuThixo. Ukuthi, “Nkosi, andiyazi into eyenziwa nguPopu. Andazi ukuba kuzakwenzeka ntoni ngomso. Andazi ukuba ndiza kuzibonelela njani mna okanye usapho lwam. Andazi nokuba ndizakwenza iintlawulo zam zokubambisa. Ngaphezu koko, Nkosi, andinguye indoda (okanye umfazi) endifanele ukuba yiyo. Ndinyanzelekile; Ndibuthathaka; Ndifuna ukwenza okulungileyo, kodwa ndikwenza okubi. Ndifuna ukuba msulwa kuni, kodwa ke ndonza okubi. Ndiyafuna ukutshintsha, kodwa andinakunceda ... Sekunjalo, Yesu, ndithembele ngawe. Sekunjalo, Yesu, ndithembele ngawe. Nangona kunjalo, ndiza kuqala kwakhona ngalo mzuzu kwaye, ngalo mzuzu, ndikuthande kangangoko ndinako. "

Kwaye ukuba uyasilela kulo mzuzu ulandelayo ukwenza loo nto, njengoko siqhele ukwenza, kufuneka uqale kwakhona kumzuzu olandelayo emva koko. Uyabona, uThixo ufuna ukutyhila kuwe ukuba ezona zigqibo zilungileyo, ngaphandle kwaKhe, ngaphandle kobabalo lwaKhe—bagwetyelwe ukungaphumeleli. Ngokuba Wathi, “Ngaphandle kwam, aninakwenza nto.” ^[2]John 15: 5

UKHUSELEKO KUBABALO

Ke ngoko, ndifuna ukuphinda kwakhona kuwe namhlanje amazwi eNkosi yethu: ukuba anithanga nibe njengomntwana, aninakungena ebukumkanini. Nantsi into omawuyenze ukuze ungene eBukumkanini.

Uthando lokuqala kuqala

Into yokuqala kukuguquka koko kukuthabathe “kuthando lwakho lokuqala”, kukuthanda uYehova uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho yonke, ngomphefumlo, nangamandla akho ephela.^[3]I-Matt 22: 36-37 Uninzi lwenu luqala usuku ngaphandle umthandazo. Uqala ngaphandle koThixo. Ufuna kuqala ubukumkani bakho, kunobakhe, kwaye ukusuka ekuhambeni, unentliziyo eyahluleleneyo:

Akukho mntu unako ukukhonza nkosi mbini. Uya kuyithiya le, athande leya; athi mhlawumbi abambelele kule ayidele leya; Aninako ukukhonza uThixo nobutyebi. (Mat 6: 24)

Ukususela kumzuzu wokuqala wosuku, uqala ukuhlwayela akho ubukumkani, "enyameni", kwaye emva koko uzibuze ukuba kutheni imini yonke uvuna isivuno senyama-ukungabi nomonde, ukucaphuka, iminqweno, ukuzingca, okanye yintoni onayo.

ngokuba lowo uhlwayelela eyakhe inyama, wovuna ukonakala ngokwasenyameni; lowo uhlwayelela umoya wovuna ubomi obungunaphakade ngokwaseMoyeni. Ke ekwenzeni okulungileyo masingethi amandla; kuba sovuna ngexesha elililo, ukuba asityhafi. ( Gal 6:8-9 )

Qala yonke into ngokujonga intando kaThixo, hayi eyakho… kwaye ubukele ubomi bakho buqalisa ukuthwala isiqhamo soMoya oyiNgcwele.

Ukuthanda "Uthando"

Umthandazo ubalulekile—ubalulekile ithemba. Mphefumlo othandekayo, niya kutshabalala ukuba anithandazanga. ICatechism ifundisa ukuba “umthandazo bubomi bentliziyo entsha.”^[4]I-CCC, 2697 Kaloku uninzi lwenu aluthandazi, oko kukuthi, ukuncokola, ukukhala, ukuva, ukufunda eNkosini, kuya kufa ngaphakathi. Naziphi na iinceba ukuba nako guqula ukuba ushiywe ungankcenkceshelwanga, njengembewu kwindlela enamatye, kwaye ushiywe kwimeko efanayo okanye embi kunangaphambili.

Kodwa uThixo akafuni symphony yamagama, kodwa a i-symphony yothando. Ngoko thandaza kuYe ngokusuka entliziyweni. Thetha ngokuphandle, ngokuphandle, njengakuMhlobo...

Yiphalaze njengamanzi intliziyo yakho phambi koYehova. ( IZililo 2:19 )

…kwaye ke umamele Yena xa ethetha nawe ngeSibhalo, ingxowa
ukufunda okubomvu kwabaNgcwele, okanye "ivangeli yendalo", ubuhle bendalo. Thanda Lowo uluthando, kwaye Uthando luya kukuthanda ngokupheleleyo.

Qala yonke imihla ngomthandazo. Phelisa yonke imihla ngomthandazo. Ukuba akunakwenzeka ukuba uthathe imizuzu eyi-15 ukuya kwengama-30 ekuseni, okungenani umeme uThixo kwimini yakho, uyingcwalise kuye ngomthandazo onje:

O Yesu,
ngeNtliziyo eNgcwele kaMariya,
Ndinikela kuwe imithandazo yam, imisebenzi,
uvuyo neembandezelo
yale mini kuzo zonke iinjongo
Ngentliziyo Yakho Engcwele,
ngokumanyene neDini eliNgcwele loMthendeleko
kulo lonke ihlabathi,
ndihlawulela izono zam;
ngeenjongo zabo bonke izalamane nabahlobo bam,
kwaye ngokukodwa
ngeenjongo zikaBawo Oyingcwele.
Amen.

Akukho bani unokukunceda ukuba uthandaze, ukukuzisela imfundiso yeNkosi kwaye akuncede ukhule elubabalweni kunalowo wenza okufanayo kuYesu kwiminyaka yokuqala yobomi bakhe: uMama wethu osikelelekileyo. Yenza i Irosari, eso “sikolo sikaMariya” siyinxalenye yobomi bakho bomthandazo othe rhoqo, ukuba akunjalo yonke imihla. ngokukhawuleza. Zila ukutya kwaye uthandaze.

Mjongile

Xa ndisithi uYesu ulapha ndiyathetha Ulapha! Asizonkedama! Qhuba uye kwirhamente yakho namhlanje, hamba uye kuhlala phambi koMthendeleko oSikelelekileyo nokuba kuseMnqubeni okanye eMthendelekweni, ubone ngamehlo akho ukuba akulahlwa. Yena, kukuzifihla kweSonkaukho, ukho, uhleli kuwe, unothando, nenceba kuwe. I-Eucharist ayingomfanekiso othandekayo, kodwa uYesu-Krestu-ukhona. Ndiva amazwi eengelosi engcwabeni likaKristu xa zazifuna ukuyifumana iNkosi:

Yini na ukuba ophilileyo nimfune phakathi kwabafileyo? Akakho apha, uvukile; ( Luka 24:5-6 )

Kutheni ufuna ukuphiliswa kuyo yonke indawo kodwa kuMphilisi? Ewe, inxenye kuni imfunayo phakathi kwabafileyo; igama elifileyo leengcali zokuzingca, i-pop psychology, kunye nezenzo zexesha elitsha. Ufuna intuthuzelo kunye nentuthuzelo ngesonka newayini, kodwa kungekhona kwiSonka esiPhilayo kunye neGazi elixabisekileyo. Yiya kuye; Mfuneni kwiMisa eNgcwele; Mfuneni ngokuNqubuda… kwaye niya kumfumana.

Sonke, sijonge kubuso obutyhiliweyo ebuqaqawulini beNkosi, senziwa similise okwaloo mfanekiselo, sivela ebuqaqawulini sisinge ebuqaqawulini, njengeNkosi enguMoya. (2 Kor. 3:18)

Mjonge kuye kwabanye

ukufuna kuqala uBukumkani bakhe, ukumfuna apho akhona, kumele sikhokhelele ekubeni simbone kummelwane wethu. Kungenjalo, imeko yethu yokomoya ixhomekeke kuthi; lugqunywe ngolwethu ulusu, ke yena ummelwane wethu ushiywe ze; Sizibeka emngciphekweni wokuba ngabaFarisi abaxhwalekileyo abanemithetho elungileyo, kodwa injongo ingalunganga. Injongo kukusindiswa kwehlabathi. Leyo yinjongo yakho kunye neyam.

Hambani ke ngoko niye kubenza abafundi abantu beentlanga zonke. ”(Mat. 28:19)

Ukuba siyasilela ukuvumela Uthando esilufumanayo Ukuhamba ngathi, emva koko ibeka emngciphekweni wokuba lichibi elimileyo, ichibi lokuzithanda elityhefa thina nabanye kwaye likhokelela ekuvuneni ngakumbi isivuno esifanayo sokungasebenzi.

Nanini na xa ubomi bethu bangaphakathi bubanjiswa kwiminqweno yabo kunye neenkxalabo zabo, akusekho ndawo yabanye, akukho ndawo yamahlwempu. Ilizwi likaThixo alisaviwa, uvuyo oluzolileyo lothando lwakhe alusavakala, nomnqweno wokwenza okulungileyo uyaphela… Ubomi buyakhula ngokuphiwa, buze bube buthathaka xa bubodwa nentuthuzelo. -IPOPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium, “Uvuyo lweVangeli”, n. 2, 10

Uthando olugqibeleleyo lugxotha lonke uloyiko, watsho uSt. “Uthando olugqibeleleyo” kuxa sithanda bobabini uThixo kwaye ummelwane.

Namhlanje, ukuze ukholo lukhule, kufuneka sikhokele thina kunye nabantu esidibana nabo ukuba sidibane nabangcwele kwaye sinxibelelane nabahle… ukholo nokhanyiso oluphuma ebusweni babangcwele, ekubonakalaliswa ngabo ukukhanya kwakhe. —UKhadinali uJoseph Ratzinger (uPOPE BENEDICT XVI), iNtlanganiso yoMthendeleko neNkululeko, eRimini, eItali, ngoAgasti 2002; crossroadsinitiative.com

Ukuqala kwakhona

Uza kusilela, kungengakuba uzimisele, kodwa ngenxa yokuba yimeko yomntu leyo. Kodwa nokusilela kwakho nokwam okuninzi, okuphinda-phindayo, nokulusizi kukungaphumeleli silungiselelwe ngobabalo. Ukuba ufuna ukukhula elubabalweni, ukuba ufuna ukukhula ethembeni, ulonwabo, nobungcwele, ayisoze yenzeke ngaphandle kokuvuma rhoqo. Apho, kwiSakramente yoXolelwaniso, uMsindisi akayi kukukhulula nje kuphela esonweni: Uya kukomeleza, akuqinisekise, akucebise, kwaye ukuba kuyimfuneko, akhuphe nayiphi na imibutho yeedemon ethe yanamathela kuwe ukuya kwinqanaba lokuvuma kwakho. ngokucokisekileyo kwaye ngokunyanisekileyo (oko kukuthi, izono zakho uzikhankanya ngokunyaniseka, kwanenani lezihlandlo ozenzileyo). I-Exorcists ithi i-Confession inamandla kakhulu kwiimeko ezininzi kunemithandazo yokukhupha umoya abayithethayo ukususela, kwi-Confession, amabango asemthethweni uSathana anayo kuwe. isono zahlulwe.

Kungayinto engekhoyo ukufuna ubungcwele, ngokobizo umntu alufumene kuThixo, ngaphandle kokutya rhoqo kule sakramente yenguquko noxolelwaniso. —UPopu John Paul Omkhulu; IVatican, ngoMatshi 29 (CWNews.com)

Ukuvuma isono, okukuko ukuhlanjululwa komphefumlo, akufuneki kwenziwe kungadlulanga iintsuku ezisibhozo; Andikwazi ukunyamezela ukugcina imiphefumlo kude nokuvuma izono ngaphezu kweentsuku ezisibhozo. —St. IPio yePietrelcina

ISakramente saNgoku

Ekugqibeleni, iSt.

Musani ke ukuthatha isimilo sabantu beli phakade, kodwa manibe kumila kumbi ngokuhlaziyeka kwengqiqo yenu, ukuze nikuqonde into okuyiyo ukuthanda kukaThixo okulungileyo, okukholekileyo, okuzalisekileyo (KwabaseRoma 12:2).

Abaninzi badandathekile ngenxa yokuba bevumela iingqondo zabo ukuba zibhadule ekucingeni ngendlela yehlabathi. Azisekho
ephila kulo mzuzu—ekuphela kwendawo apho uThixo akhoyo “kwixesha”. Ngokuba ixesha elidluleyo lidlule; ikamva alikenzeki—yaye ngoxa begxalathelana ukufuna izinto ezininzi zobukumkani babo, basenokungaphili ngaphaya kobu busuku. Ukuba siza “kufuna kuqala ubukumkani” njengoko uYesu wafundisayo, ngoko qalisa ukukhangela apho akhoyo: kanye apha, kanye ngoku.

Cinga nje ngomjikelo wolonwabo, uhlobo olubona kumabala okudlala. Khumbula xa bejikeleza ngempela ngokukhawuleza? Abantwana kwelinye icala babebhabhela emithini nasezinqwelweni zentsimbi. Abantwana kwelinye icala babedlula kwaye begabha. Kodwa emva koko, lowo wayehleli phakathi uthe cwaka wancuma iingalo zakhe esonge izandla njengoko abo wayehamba nabo babejikeleza kukwenzakala.

Umzuzu wangoku liziko ekufuneka siye kulo. Kwaye kanye uMziko weziko nguThixo (kungenjalo iziko liba ngokwethu, kwaye siya kuzifumana sibhabha sisuka kumqheba kungekudala). Ke, yilumkele imiqondiso yamaxesha, kodwa ungakhathazeki ngengomso.

Musani ukuxhalela ingomso; ingomso lizakuzenzela…. Funani ke tanci ubukumkani bukaThixo nobulungisa bakhe, zaye zonke ezo zinto ziya kongezelelwa kuni. ( Mateyu 6:34, 33 )

Vumela ixesha elidlulileyo likugcine uthobekile kwaye umncinci, kodwa ungaze uyivumele ikutsalele kwimikhosi yokuphelelwa lithemba eya kukuphosa ebumnyameni awathi uKristu ngokwakhe wakufa ukuze akukhulule kubo.

Wasihlangula egunyeni lobumnyama, wasifudusela ebukumkanini boNyana wakhe oyintanda, esinayo ngaye inkululeko ngokuhlawulelwa, uxolelo lwezono. ( Kol 1:13 )

Ngelizwi, bazalwana noodade abathandekayo, qalani ukuphila kwakhona ukholo. Ungukuphilisa kwethu… kwaye kuphela ngokholo uya kukhululwa kuloyiko, uphiliswe ngothando, kwaye womelezelwe idabi, obu bomi buya kuba bulandelayo.
