THE "Igama" elingezantsi livela kumfundisi waseMelika endanikezela inkonzo kuye. Umyalezo ophindaphinda into endiyibhale apha amaxesha ngamaxesha: isidingo esibalulekileyo kwesi sithuba ngexesha lokuvuma izono rhoqo, umthandazo, ixesha elichithwe phambi kweSakramente elisikelelweyo, ukufunda iLizwi likaThixo, kunye nokuzinikela kuMariya, Ityeya yokubalekela.
Nyana wam, uphila kumaxesha oyiko olukhulu. Ngokwenene uphila “kwimeko yonxunguphalo!” Jonga malunga nawe kwaye ubone ukuba ziwa njani kwaye ziyawa:
- Ubomi bugcinwe ngokudelelwa.
- Ukubulala, ukukhupha isisu, amalungelo ezilwanyana abanjwa angcwele ngaphezu kobomi bomntu.
- Ukuwohloka kwezoqoqosho kuzisa uloyiko kubomi bosapho kunye nokhuseleko lomntu.
- Ubunqolobi buzisa uloyiko lokuba akukho khuselo lusebenzayo.
- Inkxalabo ngokusingqongileyo ityhila uloyiko lokuba kungekudala akukho mntu uya kuba nendawo yokuhlala enesidima.
Nyana wam, zonke ezi zinto zifuna abantu ukuba baziphathe ngendlela enocwangco. Nyana wam, ngaphandle kokuba ukholo lwabantu bam luqinile abayi kuqina kwinto eza kuwela phezu kwehlabathi! Nyana wam, njengoko wenzayo uJosefu, kufuneka wenze ngokholo, uthobele, kwaye ndiza kukuzisa kwintlekele ebonakala ngathi yintlekele! Sukwenza njengoAhazi, ukwala ukuthobela ilizwi lam nengcebiso yam [Is 7: 11-13]. Uya kuphelela kwintlekele! Nyana wam, xa uYosefu evukayo, wamthabatha umntwana nonina wamsa ekhayeni lakhe! Kuya kufuneka ubize abantu bakho ukuba bazise ukuzinikela kwi-Ekaristi, iSibhalo, kunye nomama kumakhaya abo. Ewe, ezi ziinkqubo zam zokuphendula ngokukhawuleza eziza kusindisa ubomi babaninzi. —Fr. UMaurice LaRochelle, nge-22 kaDisemba, ngo-2007
Sukuvumela ubulula okanye kwanokuthanda wedwa koku kuzinikezela (iRosari, ukuCelwa, njalo njalo) zikushukumisele ekubeni uziqikelele. Kuba,
… Enamandla amakhulu, anako ukutshabalalisa iinqaba… (2 Kor 10: 4)
Zizixhobo ezizodwa okanye "iinkqubo" ezinikwe iBandla, ngegunya likaKristu, kule "meko yonxunguphalo." Asikuko ukuba intsha; Endaweni yoko, abo babhenele kubo banikwa ubabalo olukhethekileyo nolunamandla kunanini na ngaphambili.
Umntu ongenguye owasemoyeni akazamkeli izipho zoMoya kaThixo; kuba zibubudenge kuye; kanjalo akanako ukuziqonda, ngokuba ziphicothwa ngokoMoya. (1 Kor. 2:14)
Yintliziyo efana nomntwana kuphela eya kuqala ukuqonda kwaye ifumane ubabalo oluyimfuneko. Ngumphefumlo onjengomntwana kuphela oya kuyiva iNkosi kunye noMama osikelelweyo enika imiyalelo yala maxesha njengoko silindile iBastion. Ngabancinci kuphela abaya kuba nakho ukuthemba kwaye babe noxolo njengo Ukutyhileka iyaqala.
UKULALA OKWESITHATHU
Ndithandaza phambi kweSigramente Esikelelweyo, bendinombono kwakhona wokuba abaninzi bahendwa kwakhona ukuba bawele kubuthongo bezinto eziphathekayo nakwezinye izilingo zenyama-ukozela tUkujonga okwesithathu, okanye ngakumbi ngokuthe ngqo, oko kulala ukogqibela ngaphambi kokuba uKristu asivuse, kwaye singena kwimicimbi emikhulu esele iqale ukuvela.
Wabuya okwesithathu, wathi kubo, Lalani ngoku niphumle; kwanele; lifikile ilixa; yabonani, uNyana woMntu uza kunikelwa kuboni; vukani, sihambe. Yabona, lowo undinikelayo usondele. (Mk 14: 41-42)
Hlaziya ukuzahlulela kwakho kuThixo namhlanje: qalisa kwakhona. Amehlo akho masijonge kuYesu. Phila kumzuzu wangoku, ukumamela, ukubukela, nokuthandaza.
kuba sikwimeko yonxunguphalo.
Ndiyabulela kuwe, Bawo, Nkosi yezulu nomhlaba, kuba nangona uzifihlile ezi zinto kwizilumko nakwabafundileyo uzityhilele oku komntwana. (Mat 11:25)
Wonke umntu owamamelayo la mazwi am, awenze, ndomfanekisa nendoda eyingqondi, yona yayakhelayo elulwalweni indlu yayo. Imvula ina, izikhukula zeza, kwavuthuza imimoya, zabetha indlu. Kodwa ayizange iwe; yayimiswe ngokuqinileyo elulwalweni. (Mat 7: 24-25)
