UKUHLAWULWA KWELENTEN
Usuku 32
THE ukuqala komthandazo kukuthi umnqweno, sinqwenela ukuthanda uThixo, osithande kuqala. Umnqweno “sisikhanyisi somqhubi” esigcina isibane somthandazo sikhanyisile, sihlala silungele ukudibana ne “propane” yoMoya oyiNgcwele. Nguye ke otshisayo, ophilayo, kwaye ugcwalisa iintliziyo zethu ngobabalo, esenza ukuba sikwazi ukuqala ukunyuka, ecaleni kweNdlela kaYesu, ukuya kumanyano noYise. (Kwaye, xa ndisithi "umanyano noThixo", into endiyithethayo yeyokwenyani kunye nomanyano lwentando, iminqweno nothando kangangokuba uThixo aphile ngokupheleleyo nangokukhululekileyo kuwe, nawe ukuye). Ke ngoko, ukuba uhlale nam ixesha elide kule Lenten Retreat, andithandabuzi ukuba ukukhanya kokukhanya kwentliziyo yakho kukhanyisiwe kwaye kukulungele ukugqabhuka!
Into endifuna ukuthetha ngayo ngoku ayiyondlela yomthandazo, kodwa yintoni esisiseko kuyo nayiphi na imeko yokomoya, kuba ihambelana nendalo yethu yomntu: umzimba, umphefumlo kunye nomoya. Oko kukuthi, umthandazo kufuneka ubandakanye ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo iimvakalelo zethu, intelekelelo, ingqondo, ukuqiqa, kunye nentando yethu. Kubandakanya isigqibo sethu sokwazi kunye "Uze uyithande iNkosi uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho iphela, nangomphefumlo wakho uphela, nangengqondo yakho iphela, nangamandla akho ephela." [1]UMarko 12: 30
Singumzimba nomoya, kwaye sifumana isidingo sokuguqulela iimvakalelo zethu ngaphandle. Kufuneka sithandaze ngomphefumlo wethu uphela ukunika onke amandla anokwenzeka kwisikhungo sethu. -ICatechism yeCawa yamaKatolika (CCC), n. I-2702
Ngoko ke,
Isithethe sobuKristu sigcine amagama amathathu omthandazo: amazwi, ukucamngca, kunye nokucamngca. Baneempawu ezisisiseko ezifanayo: ukuzola kwentliziyo. -CCC, n. I-2699
Ezi ntetho zintathu ze Ndithatha kuThixo, ukucinga kaThixo, kwaye Khangela kuThixo yonke into isebenzela ukuvuselela, ukwandisa, nokuqinisa amadangatye omthandazo ukuze kuzaliswe “ibhaloni”—intliziyo—ngothando lukaThixo.
Ukuthetha noThixo
Ukuba ucinga ngesibini esitshatileyo esithandanayo, nanini na xa bedibana, batshintshiselana ngothando magama. Emthandazweni welizwi, sithetha noThixo. Siqala ukumxelela indlela entle ngayo (ebizwa ngokuba yindumiso); sinombulelo kuba edibana nathi kwaye wasisikelela (umbulelo); size ke siqalise ukuyivula intliziyo yethu kuYe, sabelane ngeenkxalabo zethu kunye naKhe (uthethelelo).
Umthandazo welizwi yinto "etshisa" intliziyo evuthayo, nokuba ngumthandazo weLiturgy, ukucengcelezwa kweRosari, okanye ukubiza nje ngokuvakalayo igama elithi "Yesu." KwaneNkosi yethu yathandaza ngokuvakalayo, kwaye yasifundisa ukuba sitsho Bawo wethu. Kwaye…
Nomthandazo wangaphakathi… awunakungawuhoyi umthandazo welizwi. Umthandazo wenziwa ngaphakathi ukusa kumkhamo wokuba simqonde lowo “sithetha naye;” ngaloo ndlela umthandazo welizwi uba yindlela yokuqala yomthandazo wokucamngca. -I-CCC, n. I-2704
Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba sijonge ukuba yintoni na umthandazo wokucamngca, makhe sihlolisise oko kubizwa ngokuba “ngumthandazo wengqondo” okanye ukucamngca, oko kukuthi ukucinga KaThixo.
Ukucinga ngoThixo
Xa isibini siqala ukuthandana ngokwenene, siqala ukucinga omnye komnye ngalo lonke ixesha. Emthandazweni, oku ukucinga kubizwa ngokuba kukucamngca. Emthandazweni welizwi, ndithetha noThixo; kwiZibhalo, okanye ezinye iindinyana zomoya, uThixo uthetha nam. Oko kuthetha ukuba ndiqala ukufunda nokuphulaphula oko uThixo akutshoyo entliziyweni yam (lectio Divina). Kuthetha ukuba umthandazo uyayeka ukuba a uhlanga ukuyigqiba, kodwa ngoku a kuphumla kuyo. Ndiphumla kuThixo ngokuvumela amandla aguqulayo eLizwi lakhe eliphilayo agqobhoze intliziyo yam, akhanyise ingqondo yam, kwaye ndondle umoya wam.
Khumbula, ngaphambili kwiRetreat, ndathetha "ngomntu wangaphakathi", njengoko iSt. obu bomi bungaphakathi kuKrestu obufuna ukondliwa nokukhuliswa ukuze ukhule ekuqoleni. Kuba uYesu wathi,
Umntu akaphili ngasonka sodwa, uphila ngamazwi onke aphuma emlonyeni kaThixo. ( Mateyu 4:4 )
Ukuze babe "ilangatye" elaneleyo lokuzalisa ibhaluni yomoya oshushu, kufuneka uvule ipropane. Ukucamngca kunje; wamkela uMoya oyiNgcwele ukuba angene entliziyweni yakho, akufundise, akukhokelele enyanisweni, eya kukukhulula. Kwaye ke, njengoko iCatechism isitsho, "Ukucamngca ngumnqweno." [2]I-CCC, n. I-2705 Yindlela oqala ngayo ukuba yiyo "utshintshwe kukuhlaziywa kwengqondo yakho." [3]I-Rom 12: 2
Kangangoko sithobeke kwaye sithembekile, sifumanisa ngokucamngca iintshukumo ezishukumisa intliziyo kwaye siyakwazi ukuzibona. Kungumbuzo wokwenza inyaniso ukuze singene ekukhanyeni: “Nkosi, uthanda ukuba ndenze ntoni na?” -I-CCC, n. I-2706
Funa ukufunda yaye uya kufumana ekucamngceni; nkqonkqoza ngomthandazo wengqondo kwaye uya kuvulelwa ngokucingisisa. -UGuigo waseCarthusian, Scala Paradisi: PL 40,998
Ukukhangela kuThixo
Xa isibini sazana ngokuncokola, ngokumamelana nangokuchitha ixesha kunye, amagama adla ngokuthatyathelw’ indawo “luthando oluthe cwaka”, ngokujonga nje kancinci kodwa kubukhali emehlweni omnye. Yinkangeleko ebonakala ngathi, ukudibanisa iintliziyo zabo.
Emthandazweni, oku kubizwa ngokuba ukucamngca.
Ukucamngca kukujongwa kokholo, kumiliselwe kuYesu. "Ndijonge kuye kwaye ujonge kum"... -I-CCC, 2715
Kwaye oku kujongwa kukaYesu yintoni Utshintsho kuthi ngaphakathi—njengoko wamguqulayo uMoses ngokwangaphandle.
Ukungena kukaMoses phambi koYehova, esiya kuthetha naye, wasisusa isigqubuthelo ebusweni bakhe, wada waphuma. Balubona oonyana bakaSirayeli, ukuba ulusu lobuso bukaMoses luyakhazimla. ( Eksodus 34:34-35 )
Kanye njengokuba uMoses engazange enze nto ukuze afanelekele oku kukhazimla, ngokunjalo nakubudlelwane boMnqophiso Omtsha noThixo, ukucamngca “sisipho, lubabalo; inokwamkelwa kuphela ngokuthobeka nobuhlwempu.” [4]I-CCC, n. I-2713 Kuba…
Umthandazo wokucingisisa ngumthendeleko apho uBathathu Emnye Ongcwele ufanisa umntu, umfanekiselo kaThixo, “ngokufana naye.” -I-CCC, n. I-2713
Xa ucinga, ivalve "yepropane" ivuleke kakhulu; Idangatye lothando livutha phezulu kwaye liqaqambile, kwaye intliziyo iqala ukwanda ngaphaya kwamandla ayo omntu osikelwe umda njengoko ixutywa nentliziyo kaThixo, ngaloo ndlela iwuphakamisela umphefumlo kwistratosphere apho ifumana ukumanyana naye.
ISISHWANKATHELO NESIBHALO
Umthandazo wamazwi, ocamngcayo, nowokucamngca uyasihlambulula kwaye usilungiselele ukumbona ubuso ngobuso, ngoku, nangonaphakade.
Sonke, sijonge kubuso obutyhiliweyo ebuqaqawulini beNkosi, senziwa similise okwaloo mfanekiselo, sivela ebuqaqawulini sisinge ebuqaqawulini, njengeNkosi enguMoya. (2 Kor. 3:18)
Enkosi ngenkxaso nemithandazo yakho!
