INTONI Ngaba kuthetha ukuba ube ukuhlala kakuhle?
NGCONO UBONE
Uthini ngemiphefumlo ethe yafikelela kwinqanaba lobungcwele? Kukho umgangatho apho, "into" umntu afuna ukuhlala kuyo. Uninzi luye lwashiya abantu batshintshile emva kokudibana noMama oSikelelweyo uTeresa okanye uJohn Paul II, nangona ngamanye amaxesha kwakuthethwa kancinci phakathi kwabo. Impendulo yile yokuba le miphefumlo engaqhelekanga yayisele amaqula aphilayo.
Lowo ukholwayo kum, njengoko isibhalo sithi: 'Imilambo yamanzi aphilileyo iya kumpompoza iphuma embilinini wakhe.' (UYohane 7:38)
Umdumisi ubhala athi:
Yivani, nibone ukuba ulungile uYehova. (Nd 34: 8)
Abantu balambile kwaye banxanelwe ngcamango kwaye ukubona INkosi namhlanje. Bayamfuna kuOprah Winfrey, kwibhotile yotywala, kwifriji, kwisini esingekho mthethweni, kuFacebook, kubugqwirha… ngeendlela ezininzi, bezama ukufumana ulonwabo abadalelwe lona. Kodwa icebo likaKristu yayikukuba uluntu luya kumfumana eBandleni laKhe-Hayi iziko, ngomntu ngamnye-Kodwa kumalungu ayo aphilayo, its amaqula aphilayo:
Singoonozakuzaku bakaKristu, ngokungathi uThixo ubhenela kuthi. (2 Kor. 5:20)
Le nkulungwane inxanelwe ukunyaniseka… Ihlabathi lilindele kuthi ubomi obulula, umoya wokuthandaza, ukuthobela, ukuthobeka, ukuzincama nokuzincama. —UAPOPE PAUL VI, Ukuhambisa ivangeli kwiLizwe lale mihla, 22, 76
Yile nto wayeyithetha nguSt.
Ndibethelelwe emnqamlezweni noKristu; ayisendim ke odlalayo, nguKristu ke oselesidla ubomi kum (Gal 2: 20)
Ukuba sizahlula esi sivakalisi sibe ziinxalenye ezintathu, sifumana i-anatomy "wokuphila kakuhle."
"NDIBEThelelwe"
Xa kugrunjwe iqula lamanzi, lonke ulwandle, ilitye, kunye nomhlaba kufuneka ususwe ngaphezulu. Yile nto ke ithethwa kukuba "ubethelelwe emnqamlezweni noKristu": kukuzisa ekukhanyeni yonke isilika yesiqu sakho, iliwa lemvukelo, kunye nomhlaba wesono. Kunzima kakhulu kumphefumlo wamaKristu ukuba ube sisitya saManzi aPhilileyo amsulwa kunye nala axutywe nawo. Ihlabathi liyanambitha, kodwa lishiywa lingonelisekanga ngamanzi amtyuba amdyobhe ngobabalo ababelangazelela ukusela kuwo.
Okukhona umntu esifa, kokukhona uKristu evuka ngaphakathi.
Ngaphandle kokuba ukhozo lwengqolowa luwele emhlabeni luze lufe, luhlala lukhozo nje; kodwa ukuba iyafa, ivelisa isiqhamo esininzi. (UYOHANE 12:24)
Ukanti, "umngxunya owombiweyo" awanelanga. Kufuneka kubekho indawo enokuthi "iqulathe" Amanzi aPhilayo oMoya oyiNgcwele…
"AKUSASEKHO MNA NDIPHILAYO"
Emingxunyeni, kwakhiwa ilitye okanye ikhonkrithi ecaleni kweendonga zangaphakathi ukugcina umhlaba "ungaphambuki" uye equleni. 
Sakha isiseko esinjalo "ngemisebenzi elungileyo." La matye yile imo yomKristu, uphawu olungaphandle oluthi "Ndisisikhongozeli saManzi aPhilayo." Njengoko isibhalo sithi,
Ukukhanya kwakho makukhanye phambi kwabanye, ukuze babone imisebenzi yakho elungileyo kwaye bazukise uYihlo osemazulwini… Bonakalisa ukholo lwakho kum ngaphandle kwemisebenzi, kwaye ndiza kubonisa ukholo lwam kuwe ngemisebenzi yam. (Mat 5:16; Yakobi 2:18)
Ewe, kufuneka umhlaba ungcamle kwaye bonani ukuba uNdikhoyo ulungile. Ngaphandle kwequla elibonakalayo, amanzi aPhila kunzima ukuwafumana. Ngaphandle kwendlwana, iqula liya kuqala ukuzimela phantsi "kwenkanuko yenyama nenkanuko yamehlo nekratshi lobomi" (1 Yohane 2:16) lize likhule ngameva "oxinzelelo lwehlabathi nomtsalane yobutyebi "(Mat 13: 22). Kwelinye icala, imithombo ene kuphela "imisebenzi elungileyo," kodwa uswele "into" yokholo lwenene kuKristu-aManzi aPhila-ahlala "enjengamangcwaba aqatywe mhlophe, abonakala emahle ngaphandle, kodwa ngaphakathi kugcwele amathambo abantu abafileyo nalo lonke uhlobo lokungcola … Ngaphandle ubonakala ulilungisa, kanti ngaphakathi uzele luhanahaniso nokwenza ububi. " (Mat 23: 27-28).
Kwincwadi yakhe yokuqala yokubhaliweyo, uPopu Benedict ugxininisa ukuba ukuthanda ummelwane wakho kunamacandelo amabini: inye isenzo zothando, isenzo esihle ngokwaso, kunye nolunye uthando ngubani sidlulisela komnye, oko kukuthi, uThixo oluthando. Bobabini kufuneka babekhona. Ngaphandle koko umngcipheko wobukristu uza kuncitshiselwa ekubeni ngunontlalontle hayi ingqina elimiselwe nguThixo. Uphawula ukuba abaPostile kwakungamelanga…
...wenza umsebenzi oqhelekileyo wokusasazwa: babeza kuba ngabantu "abazele nguMoya nobulumko" (cf. iZenzo 6: 1-6). Ngamanye amagama, inkonzo yentlalontle ebeyenzelwe ukuba ibonelele yayiqinisekile, kodwa kwangaxeshanye yayiyinkonzo yokomoya. -IPOPE BENEDICT XVI, UDeus Caritas Est, n. 21
Ukulandela imiyalelo kaYesu, ukuvelisa imisebenzi elungileyo apha endleleni, kuthetha ukuba ayisendim ophilayo, okanye mandithi, ndiziphilela mna, kodwa ndiphila ngummelwane wam. Nangona kunjalo, ayinguye "mna" endinqwenela ukukunika, kodwa nguKristu…
"UKRISTU OHLALA KUM"
Uhlala njani uKristu kum? Ngesimemo sentliziyo, Oko kukuthi, mthandazo.
Yabona, ndimi emnyango ndinkqonkqoza; ukuba uthe umntu waliva izwi lam, waluvula ucango, ndongena kuye, ndidle naye, naye adle nam. (ISityhi. 3:20)
Ngumthandazo othi utsala uMoya oyiNgcwele entliziyweni yam, ezalisa amazwi am, izenzo, kunye neengcinga ngobukho bukaThixo. Yibubukho obu ke obuphuma buye kum bungena kwimiphefumlo eyomileyo yabo bafuna ukuphelisa unxano lwabo lokomoya. Ngandlela thile namhlanje, siphulukene nokuqonda kwesidingo somthandazo kubomi bobuKristu. Ukuba ubhaptizo ngumkhukula wobabalo wokuqala, ngumthandazo oqhubeka uzalisa umphefumlo wam ngaManzi aPhilayo ukuze asele umntakwethu. Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba abalungiseleli abangamaKristu abaxakekileyo, nabakhutheleyo, nabanetalente namhlanje banikela ngamanye amaxesha njengothuli nje kwihlabathi? Ewe kunokwenzeka, kuba esikunika kona ayilulo ulwazi lwethu okanye inkonzo nje kuphela, kodwa nguThixo ophilayo! Simnika ngokuziqongqotha ngokuqhubekayo-sisuke endleleni-kodwa ngokuqhubeka sizigcwalisa naYe ngobomi obungaphakathi bomthandazo "singayeki." Ubishophu, umfundisi, okanye umntu oqhelekileyo othi "akanalo ixesha lokuthandaza" ngoyena mntu kufuneka athandaze kakhulu, kungenjalo, umpostile wakhe uya kuphulukana namandla okuguqula iintliziyo.
Ikwangumthandazo ondenza ndifumanise kwaye ndakhe, ngokwe m
Ubizo, amatye ayimfuneko ukuze abe yindawo ebonakalayo entlango yehlabathi:
Umthandazo uya kubabalo esilufunayo kwizenzo ezifanelekileyo. -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-2010
Njengempompo ejikelezayo, imisebenzi emihle ngokwabo, ukuba yenziwe ngomoya wesisa sokwenene, baqhubeke nokutsala aManzi aPhilayo emphefumlweni kwinto eba ngumfuziselo onesingqi phakathi kobomi bangaphakathi nobangaphandle bobuKristu: inguquko, imisebenzi emihle, umthandazo… nzulu, uyile ubume bayo, kwaye uyizalisa ngoThixo.
Uthando lukhula ngothando. -IPOPE BENEDICT XVI, UDeus Caritas Est, n. 18
Hlalani kum, njengokuba mna ndihleli kuni. Lowo uhleli kum, ndibe mna ndihleli kuye, yena uthwala isiqhamo esininzi, ngokuba ngaphandle kwam aninakwenza nto. Ukuba niyayigcina imiyalelo yam, niya kuhlala eluthandweni lwam. (UYohane 15: 4-5, 10)
Loluphi uhlobo oluhle onqwenela ukuba lulo?
Oku akuthethi ukuba uThixo akanakusebenza ngokuzithandela nangabantu abangafuniyo. Ewe baninzi "abanesisa" esibonakala sinamandla. Kodwa bahlala befana neenkwenkwezi zokudubula eziqaqamba okomzuzwana, emva koko zilibaleke ngokukhawuleza, ubomi babo bukhanya okomzuzwana nje, kodwa kungashiyi khampasi ihlala ihleli. Into endithetha ngayo apha zezi iinkwenkwezi ezizinzileyo, la malanga aqaqambileyo abizwa ngokuba "ngabangcwele" abakhanya kubo ngokuqhubekayo kuthi nakude emva kokuba ubomi babo basemhlabeni butshisiwe. Ngumthombo ophilayo lo! Iqula elinika aManzi aPhilayo atshintsha atshintshe umhlaba okujikelezileyo, eshiya uBukho baKhe kwakude emva kokuba ubukho bakho bungekho.
Makhe ndishwankathele yonke into endiyithethileyo apha kumazwi ka-St Paul -mnye weyona mithombo iphambili kubuKrestu esisaqhubeka ukubhiyozela uNyaka wayo. Ubomi bomKristu bakhelwe kuYesu, njengoko iqula lakhelwe emhlabeni.
Ukuba nabani na wakha phezu kwale siseko ngegolide, isilivere, amatye anqabileyo, imithi, ifula, okanye iindiza, umsebenzi walowo nalowo uya kubonakala, kuba loo mini iya kutyhilwa. Iya kutyhilwa ngomlilo, kwaye umlilo uya kuvavanya umgangatho womntu ngamnye. (1 Kor. 3: 12-13)
Wakha ntoni iqula lakho? Igolide, isilivere, namatye anqabileyo, okanye umthi, ifula, kunye nomququ? Umgangatho weli qula umiselwe "bubomi bangaphakathi" bomphefumlo, ubudlelwane onabo noThixo. Nomthandazo is ubudlelwane-ubudlelane bothando nenyaniso ebonakaliswe ngokuthobela nokuthobeka. Umphefumlo onjalo uhlala ungazi nokuba wakha iqula leempawu zexabiso ... kodwa abanye bayazi. Kuba bangcamla babone ukuba iNkosi ilungile. UYesu wathi umthi waziwa ngesiqhamo sawo. Bubomi obungaphakathi obufihliweyo bomthi obumisela isiqhamo: impilo yeengcambu, incindi, kunye nomongo. Ngubani onokubona umphantsi wequla? Obo bubomi obunzulu bangaphakathi bequla, apho kutsalwa khona Amanzi amatsha, apho kukho ukuzola, kunye nokuzola, kunye nomthandazo wokuba uThixo akwazi ukungena emphefumlweni ukuze abanye behlise indebe yomnqweno wabo entliziyweni yakho bafumane Lowo babemlangazelela.
Olu luhlobo lomKristu uMama uMariya ebelubonakala amashumi eminyaka ngoku ukuvelisa. Abapostile abathi, bayilwa esibelekweni sokuthobeka kwakhe, baya kuba amaqula aphilayo kwiNtlango enkulu yamaxesha ethu. Ngaloo ndlela uthi, "Thandaza, thandaza, thandaza"oya kubanika aManzi ukubanika.
Abangcwele-baqwalasele umzekelo ka-Teresa waseCalcutta osikelelekileyo-bahlala behlaziya amandla abo okuthanda ummelwane ukusuka ekudibaneni kwabo neNkosi ye-Ekaristi, kwaye ngokuchaseneyo le ntlanganiso yafumana ubunyani bayo kunye nobunzulu kwinkonzo yabo kwabanye. Uthando lukaThixo nothando ngommelwane alunako ukwahlukana, zenza umthetho omnye… Kumzekelo kaTeresa waseCalcutta osikelelweyo sinomzekeliso ocacileyo wokuba ixesha elinikelwe kuThixo emthandazweni aliphazamisi kwinkonzo esebenzayo nothando kuphela. kummelwane wethu kodwa enyanisweni ingumthombo ongapheliyo wenkonzo. -IPOPE BENEDICT XVI, UDeus Caritas Est, n. 18, 36
Obu butyebi sibuphethe ngezitya zodongwe… (2 Kor 4: 7)
