THE Ubukumkani bezilwanyana ngokuqinisekileyo banelisekile. Iintaka ziyaneliseka. Iintlanzi zinelisekile. Kodwa intliziyo yomntu ayikho. Asinakuphumla kwaye asonelisekanga, sihlala sifuna ukuzalisekiswa ngeendlela ezininzi. Siphishekela ulonwabo olungapheliyo njengoko ilizwe lijikeleza izibhengezo zalo zithembisa ukonwaba, kodwa sisa ulonwabo kuphela-ulonwabo oludlula ngokungathi sisiphelo ngokwalo. Kutheni le nto emva kokuthenga ubuxoki, ngaba ngokuqhubekekayo siqhubeka nokufuna, ukukhangela, ukuzingela intsingiselo kunye nexabiso?

Nguye inxeba wase-Eden. Yintlungu engapheliyo yethemba elidlulileyo elaphukileyo. Kukudibana kobudlelane obulahlekileyo noThixo kunye nabanye. 

Bandifuna imihla ngemihla, banqwenela ukwazi iindlela zam… “Kutheni ukuba sizile ukutya, kodwa wena ungaboni? Siyabandezeleka, ube wena ungakuhoyi oko? ” (Ufundo lokuqala)

INkosi ayikuboni ukuzila kwethu ukuba kukuphela kwayo, ngokungathi sidibanisa amanqaku. Ngaba uThixo uyakhathala ukuba uyayishiya itshokholethi ngenxa yeLente? Endaweni yokuzila okwenyani sisenzo sokujika amehlo akho asuke okwexeshana aye kunaphakade. Ukuzila ukutya, amasiko, iisimboli, imithandazo… yonke le yindlela yokusinceda sibuyisele iintliziyo zethu kuThixo. Phantse zonke iinkolo ehlabathini ziyimbonakalo yolu langazelelo lokuzalwa noThixo (kwaye enyanisweni, inyaniso ephawulekayo kuloo nto, uThixo usilangazelele):

Umthandazo kukuhlangana kukaThixo nokunxanwa kwethu. UThixo unxanelwe ukuba simnxanelwe. -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-2560

Kwaye ke singxwelerhiwe, kwaye siyakhala emthandazweni… kodwa kubani? UYesu Kristu uyimpendulo yeli nxeba: Ngamanxeba Akhe siphilisiwe. ^[1]cf. 1 Pet 2: 24 Ubuso bukaYesu businika indawo yekhonkrithi yokulungisa amehlo ethu; nge-Ekaristi, ikhonkrithi ithetha ukuMchukumisa; Ngokuvuma, ikhonkrithi kuthetha ukuMva evakalisa inceba yaKhe. Intliziyo uqala ukuphiliswa xa siqonda ukuba sithandwa kakhulu nguThixo kangangokuba wathumela uNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo, sabeka owethu themba kuye:

Owu Thixo, umoya wam wonakele; intliziyo etyumkileyo ethobekileyo, Thixo, akuyi kuyidela. (INdumiso yanamhlanje)

Ukanti, uYesu wasifundisa ukuba inxeba lase-Eden alinakuze linyangeke ngokujonga nje ngaphakathi, ngokungathi inkolo yinto nje ethandwayo. Njengoko uPopu Benedict wabuza:

Yayinokwenzeka njani into yokuba umbono kaYesu ungabantu abodwa kwaye ujolise kumntu ngamnye kuphela? Silufike njani olu toliko "losindiso lomphefumlo" njengendawo yokusaba uxanduva luphela, kwaye kwenzeka njani ukuba siyibone le projekthi yobuKristu njengokhangelo lokuzingca losindiso oluchasa ingcamango yokukhonza abanye? -IPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Thetha uSalvi, n. I-16

Oku, endaweni yoko, kukuzila endikunqwenelayo: ukukhulula abo babotshwe ngokungekho sikweni, ukhulule imitya yedyokhwe; ukukhulula abacinezelweyo, besaphula zonke iidyokhwe; Ukwabelana ngesonka sakho nendlala, Ubeka abacudisiweyo nabangenamakhaya; unxibe oze ze xa ubabona, kwaye ungfulathele wedwa. Kuya kwandula ke ukukhanya kwakho kuthi qhiphu njengokusa, kwaye inxeba lakho liya kuphola ngokukhawuleza… (Ufundo lokuqala)

Ukuthanda uThixo nommelwane: le, u Yesu wathi, yeyona mithetho mikhulu kuba kuyo kuphela apho intliziyo yomntu iya kubuyiselwa kwisidima sayo esipheleleyo, kwaye ifumane ukuphumla.
