UKUHLAWULWA KWELENTEN
Usuku 30
UTHIXO uyazi, bekukho iincwadi ezizigidi ezibhalwe kwisayensi yomthandazo. Kodwa hleze sidimazeke kwasekuqaleni, khumbula ukuba yayingengababhali nabaFarisi, abafundisi bomthetho uYesu awayebambe kufutshane nentliziyo yakhe… zincinci.
Bayekeni abantwana beze kum, ningabaleli; kuba ubukumkani bamazulu bobabo banjalo. (Mat 19:14)
Ngoko ke masithandaze ngendlela efanayo, njengabantwana abaza kuthandana, kwaye bathandwe edolweni likaKrestu--edolweni likaBawo. Kwaye ke, into efunekayo ukuthandaza, kukulungela ukuthandaza; ukufunda ukuthandaza ngcono, uthandaze ngakumbi. Kodwa ngaphezu kwayo yonke into, kufuneka sifunde ukuyenza thandaza ngokusuka entliziyweni.
Ukubuyela umva kwibhaluni yomoya oshushu, into efunekayo ukufuthisa "iintliziyo" zethu kukutshisa umthandazo. Kodwa ngale nto andithethi ngomthamo wamagama nje, endaweni yoko, kunjalo uthando eyonyusa intliziyo.
Xa sibhaptiziwe kwaye siqinisekisiwe kubomi bobuKrestu, ngokungathi uThixo usinika esi sitshisi, kunye nesibonelelo esingenasiphelo sepropane, oko kukuthi, uMoya oyiNgcwele. [1]cf. Roma 5: 5 Kodwa into efunekayo ukuphelisa lo manyano luthando yi intlantsi yomnqweno. UThixo akafuni ukuba siphindaphinde amagama ephepheni, kodwa ukuba sithethe naye ngokusuka entliziyweni. Kwaye singayenza le nto xa sithandaza iiNdumiso Imini yeeYure, Into ebangela isitshisi kuxa sithetha amagama ngentliziyo; xa sithetha ngokulula neNkosi, njengomhlobo, ngokusuka entliziyweni.
… Ukumnqwenela kusisiqalo sothando… Ngamazwi, ngengqondo okanye ngezwi, umthandazo wethu uthatha inyama. Kodwa okona kubaluleke kakhulu kukuba intliziyo kufuneka ibekho kulowo sithetha naye emthandazweni: “Nokuba umthandazo wethu uviwa okanye awuviwe, akuxhomekekanga kwinani lamagama, kodwa kukuchwayita komphefumlo wethu.” -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-2709
Ndidibene nabantu abaninzi abakwaziyo ukuthandaza. “Ndithini? Nditsho njani? ” USteresa waseAvila wayekhe wathi kuye, umthandazo…
… Ayikho enye into ngaphandle kokwabelana ngokusondeleyo phakathi kwabahlobo; oko kuthetha ukuthatha ixesha rhoqo ukuba wedwa kunye nomntu esaziyo ukuba uyasithanda. -Incwadi Yobomi Bakhe, n. 8, 5;
"Ngokuqinisekileyo, zininzi iindlela zokuthandaza njengokuba kukho abantu abathandazayo," [2]I-CCC, n. I-2672 kodwa into efunekayo kukuba umendo ngamnye wenziwe ngentliziyo. Ukuthandaza, ke, kufuna isenzo sentando-isenzo sika uthando. Kukumfuna Lowo wayesele efuna thina, kwaye siqale ukumthanda ngokwenene njengoMntu. Kwaye sonke siyazi ukuba eyona ndlela inamandla yokunxibelelana ihlala iliso elingenamagama emehlweni abanye.
Bubuso beNkosi esibufunayo nobunqwenelayo… Uthando ngumthombo womthandazo; Nabani na okhupha kuyo ufikelela encotsheni yomthandazo. -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. Ngo-2657-58
So Sukoyika yomthandazo-ukuba awungekhe uthandaze ngenxa yokuba ungazi imithandazo emininzi, okanye iivesi ezaneleyo zeBhayibhile, okanye awuchazi ukholo lwakho. Mhlawumbi akunjalo, kodwa unako uthando… Kwaye lowo uqala ukuthanda uThixo ngamazwi abo, athethwe ngokusuka entliziyweni, uyayitshisa i "propane" kaMoya oyiNgcwele, oqala ke ukuzalisa nokwandisa intliziyo kabani, eyenza ukuba ingakwazi ukubhabhela emazulwini kaThixo kuphela. ubukho, kodwa ukunyukela kwezona ndawo ziphakamileyo zomanyano kunye naYe.
Nokuba uziva ngathi uyabhibhidla oku kosana, ndixelele, ingaba umama uyayiva icos yomntwana wakhe? Ngaba akatsalwa nangakumbi emntwaneni wakhe xa Bukeka kuye kwaye uyazama ukuthetha naye, nangona amagama ayo engavakali? Akukho mthandazo uphuma entliziyweni ongazukuviwa nguThixo uBawo. Kodwa lowo ungathandazi akasoze amkelwe.
Ngaloo ndlela, ubomi bomthandazo ngumkhwa wokuba phambi kobuthixo obungcwele kathathu kwaye nokunxulumana naye… Kodwa asinakho ukuthandaza “ngamaxesha onke” ukuba asithandazi ngamaxesha athile, siyazi ngokuzithandela. -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-2658, 2697
Xa ndithetha kwiinkomfa okanye kwimishini yamarhamente, ndihlala ndixelela abaphulaphuli bam ukuba: “Njengokuba nizongela ixesha lesidlo sangokuhlwa, kufuneka nibekele bucala ixesha lokuthandaza; kuba ungaphoswa isidlo sangokuhlwa, kodwa awunakuphuthelwa ngumthandazo. ” Hayi, Watsho uYesu, ngaphandle kwam aninakwenza nto. Ke namhlanje kwakhona, yenza ukuzibophelela okuqinileyo kuThixo ukwenza ixesha lokuthandaza yonke imihla, ukuba kunokwenzeka, into yokuqala ekuseni. Ukuzibophelela okulula kwanele ukukhanyisa ubomi bakho bokomoya, kunye nemililo yothando kaThixo eqala ukutshintsha ikuguqule njengoko nidibana "emfihlakalweni" noThixo wakho, kwaye nithandaze. intliziyo ukuba intliziyo.
ISISHWANKATHELO NESIBHALO
Umthandazo osuka entliziyweni yintlantsi efunekayo ukukhanyisa umlilo wothando ukukhawulezisa inkqubo yenguqu kunye nokwenza nzulu umanyano noThixo.
… Xa uthandaza, ngena egumbini lakho elingaphakathi, uvale umnyango, uthandaze kuYihlo ngasese. Kwaye uYihlo obona emfihlekweni uya kukubuyekeza… Kuba apho bukhona ubutyebi bakho, yoba lapho nentliziyo yakho. (Mat 6: 6, 21)
UMark, kunye nosapho kunye nenkonzo, baxhomekeke ngokupheleleyo
kuLungiselelo lukaThixo.
Enkosi ngenkxaso nemithandazo yakho!
Ukujoyina uMarko kule Lenten Retreat,
cofa kwibhena engezantsi ukuya rhuma.
I-imeyile yakho ayizokwabelwana naye nabani na.
