IT wawungumbuzo olungileyo ovela kwindoda enentliziyo entle:
Mna ngokwam ndithandaza ngaphezu kweyure ngosuku ngelixa ndihamba kwi-treadmill kusasa. Ndinayo i Dumisa app kwifowuni yam apho ndimamela ukufundwa kwemihla ngemihla, ndimamele umboniso wePresentation Ministries emva koko ndimamele umntu okhokela irosari. Ngaba ndithandaza ngokusuk’ entliziyweni njengoko uncomela kwiincwadi zakho?
Ewe, ndibhale kwaye ndathetha kwiindawo ezininzi malunga nemfuneko yokuthandaza kuphela, kodwa thandaza ngentliziyo. Ngumahluko, eneneni, phakathi kokufunda malunga nokuqubha… kunye nokutsibela intloko kuqala echibini.
UTHIXO WETHU OLUTHANDAYO-UPHAMBANE
Into eyenza ubuKristu bume bodwa phakathi kwazo zonke iinkonzo zehlabathi kukutyhilwa kokuba uThixo wethu, okuphela koThixo oyinyaniso, unguThixo onothando nonobuntu.
UThixo wethu akalawuli kuphela ephuma phezulu, kodwa wehlela emhlabeni, wathabatha inyama yethu nobuntu, kunye nayo, zonke iimbandezelo zethu, ulonwabo, ukulindela, kunye nokulinganiselwa kwethu. Waba ngomnye wethu ukuze thina, izidalwa Zakhe, sazi ukuba uThixo wethu akangomandla akude, angenabuntu, kodwa unguMntu osondeleyo nonothando. Ayikho enye inkolo emhlabeni enoThixo onjalo, okanye inyaniso enjalo engazange iguqule iintliziyo kuphela, kodwa amazwekazi ephela.
Ngoko, xa ndisithi "thandaza ngokusuka entliziyweni” Nditsho ngenene: phendula kuThixo ngendlela aphendula ngayo kuwe—ngentliziyo evuthayo, evuthayo, ezinikele ngokupheleleyo. Ukunxanelwe, Lowo ukunikileyo “amanzi aphilileyo” othando lwakhe nobukho bakhe ukuze anelise eyona minqweno inzulu yentliziyo yakho.
“Ukuba ubusazi isipho sikaThixo!” Ummangaliso womthandazo utyhilwe ecaleni kwequla apho siza kufuna amanzi: Apho, uKrestu uza kudibana nabantu bonke. Nguye oqala ukusifuna kwaye wacela ukuba sisele. UYesu unxaniwe; ukubuza kwakhe kuvela ezinzulwini zomnqweno kaThixo ngathi. Nokuba siyakuqonda okanye akunjalo, umthandazo kukuhlangana kukaThixo nokunxanwa kwethu. UThixo unxanelwe ukuba simnxanelwe. -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika (CCC), n. I-2560
UMTHANDAZO OMTHANDAZO
Ngoko, kwelinye icala, ukuthandaza kwi-treadmill yinto enhle, indlela efanelekileyo yokuzalisa ixesha ngexesha lokuzilolonga. Enyanisweni, kufuneka "thandazani ngamaxesha onke”, njengoko uYesu watshoyo.[1]Luke 18: 1
"Simele sikhumbule uThixo rhoqo kunokuba siphefumla." Kodwa asikwazi ukuthandaza "ngamaxesha onke” ukuba asithandazi ngamaxesha athile, sivuma ngokuzithandela. La ngamaxesha akhethekileyo omthandazo wobuKristu, ngokunzulu nangobude bexesha. —ICCC, n. I-2697
Ngoko ke, kuhle ukuthandaza ngamaxesha athile njengalowo umfundi wam. Kodwa kukho okungakumbi: kukho umbandela 'wobunzulu' bomthandazo wethu. Ngaba “ndithandaza ngentliziyo” okanye ngentloko kuphela?
... ekunikeni igama umthombo womthandazo, isiBhalo ngamanye amaxesha sithetha ngomphefumlo okanye umoya, kodwa amaxesha amaninzi entliziyweni (ngaphezu kwewaka lamaxesha). Ngokutsho kweZibhalo, yintliziyo ethandazayo. Ukuba intliziyo yethu ikude noThixo, amazwi omthandazo alilize. —ICCC. 2697
Ngoko ke, sifanele silumke, ukuba umthandazo wethu awungombandela nje wokufunda okanye wokuphindaphinda amazwi, okanye ukuphulaphula nje ungenzi nto, njengoko ebeya kwenjenjalo ukuba unomathotholo uvulelwe ngasemva. Cinga ngomfazi ohleli etafileni ethetha naye 
umyeni ngelixa efunda iphephandaba. Nguye kanjalo ukuphulaphula, kodwa intliziyo yakhe ayikho kuyo, kuye-iingcinga zakhe, iimvakalelo zakhe, iimvakalelo zakhe, imfuno yakhe elula ukuba ingaviwa kuphela, kodwa. mamela ukuya. Kunjalo ke nakuThixo. Kufuneka simanyane Naye ngentliziyo, hayi nje ingqondo; sifanele “sikhangele” kuYe, njengoko ejonge kuthi. Oku kubizwa ngokuba kukucamngca. Umthandazo kufuneka ube kukutshintshiselana kungekuphela nje amazwi, kodwa uthando. Umdla. Ngumthandazo lowo. Omnye umzekelo ocace ngakumbi ngulowo wesibini esitshatileyo esibelana ngesondo ngenjongo yokuzonwabisa sodwa ngokuchaseneyo “nokwenza uthando”. Owokuqala uyathabatha; lo wokugqibela uyapha.
UKUTSHINTSHISWA KUKATHIXO
Umthandazo kukunika uThixo, kwangaxeshanye ufumana oko akunikelayo. Lutshintshiselwano lweziqu zethu: yam 
uhlwempuzekile, ngenxa yobuThixo bakhe; umfanekiso wam ogqwethekileyo womfanekiso wokwenene kaThixo endidalwe ngawo. Kwaye nguye kuphela onokunikela oku: Intlawulelo sisipho saKhe njengembuyekezo yokholo lwam kuye.
Ukucamngca kukujongwa kokholo, kumiliselwe kuYesu. “Ndimjongile naye ejonge kum”… Oku kujolisa kuYesu kukuzilahlela nofele. Amehlo akhe ahlambulula iintliziyo zethu; ukukhanya kobuso bukaYesu kukhanyisa amehlo entliziyo yethu yaye kusifundisa ukuba sibone yonke into ekukhanyeni kwenyaniso yakhe nemfesane yakhe ngabantu bonke. Ukucamngca kukwajika ukujonga iimfihlakalo zobomi bukaKristu. Ngaloo ndlela ifunda “ulwazi lwangaphakathi lweNkosi yethu,” kokukhona ukuyithanda nokuyilandela. -CCC, n. 2715
Ngaphezu koko, uThixo owakudalayo akasayi kuze akuphoxe. Oku, kwakhona, yinxalenye yeNdaba yothando olukhulu lobuKristu.
Ukuba asithembekanga uhlala ethembekile, kuba akanako ukuzikhanyela. (2 Tim 2:13)
UKUTHEMBA UTHANDO
Kukwayinyaniso ukuba abanye bethu banamanxeba anzulu nabuhlungu athintela ukukholosa kwethu ngoThixo—ukungcatshwa, ukuphoxeka, amanxeba ootata, amanxeba oomama, amanxeba abefundisi, iinkumbulo ezaphukileyo namathemba atyumkileyo. Ke ngoko, sizijolisa kuThixo; sithi mhlawumbi ukhohlakele, akakhathali, uyasohlwaya…okanye akakho.
Kwaye ngoku, khangela eMnqamlezweni. Ndixelele ukuba akakhathali. Ndixelele ukuba, nini we abembethelela emnqamlezweni, abe yena emohlwaya. Ndixelele ukuba, nini we babebethelela izandla Zakhe emthini, ezakhe zaziphakanyiswe ngumsindo. Ndixelele, emva kweminyaka engama-2000 okoko wabandezelekayo, wafa, wavuka kwabafileyo, ukuba ayinguye lo ukukhokeleyo kulo mbhalo. Ewe, iNdaba yoThando iyaqhubeka, kwaye igama lakho libhalwe kwiphepha elilandelayo. Ubomi, ixesha, kunye nembali ziyaqhubeka ukutyhileka kuba uThixo uyaluthanda olu luntu lwaphukileyo, uThixo unxanelwe, kwaye uThixo ukulindile… ukuba umthande.
...Bandishiyile mna, thende lamanzi aphilileyo; bazimbele amaqula, amaqula aqhekekileyo, angagcini manzi. ( Yer 2:13 )
Unge ubucele kuye wena, wakupha amanzi aphilileyo. …Umthandazo yimpendulo yokholo kwisithembiso sasimahla sosindiso kwaye ukwayimpendulo yothando ekunxanweni kokuphela koNyana kaThixo. -CCC, n. 2561
Ukumthanda ke, kukuthandaza kuye ngentliziyo, okanye ngamanye amazwi, ukuba naye ngamaxesha onke nakuyo yonke indawo, 
indlela abathandanayo ababini bafuna ukuhlala kunye. Ukuthandaza kukuthanda, yaye ukuthanda kukuthandaza.
Umthandazo wokucingisisa ngokokubona kwam awuyonto yimbi ngaphandle kokwabelana ngokusondeleyo phakathi kwezihlobo; kuthetha ukuthabatha ixesha rhoqo ukuba yedwa kunye naye esimaziyo ukuba uyasithanda. —ISt. UTeresa kaYesu, Incwadi yoBomi baKhe, 8, 5; kwi Imisebenzi eqokelelweyo yaseSt Teresa yaseAvila, Kavanaugh noRodriguez, iphe. 67
Umthandazo wokucingisisa ufuna lowo “lowo uthandwa ngumphefumlo wam”… umthandazo lubudlelwane obuphilayo babantwana bakaThixo kunye noYise wabo olungileyo ngaphaya komlinganiselo, kunye noNyana wakhe uYesu Krestu kunye noMoya oyiNgcwele… Ke, ubomi bomthandazo ngumkhwa. lokuba sebusweni bukaThixo ongcwele kathathu, ebudlelaneni naye. -CCC, n. 2709, 2565
KUFUNDWA NGOKUBA
Thatha uhambo lukaMarko lweentsuku ezingama-40 ngomthandazo, nangaluphi na usuku, nanini na, ngaphandle kweendleko. Ibandakanya iaudio ukuze umamele ngelixa usebenza okanye uqhuba: Ukuthandaza umva
Ndikusikelele kwaye ndiyabulela.
Ukuhamba noMark kwi The Ngoku iLizwi,
