THE NgeCawa yesibini yePasika ICawa kaThixo yenceba. Lo ngumhla uYesu wathembisa ukuthulula ubabalo olungenakulinganiswa ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba labanye “Ithemba lokugqibela losindiso.” Okwangoku, amaKatolika amaninzi awazi ukuba uyintoni na lo msitho okanye akaze eve ngawo epulpitini. Njengoko uza kubona, ayilo suku oluqhelekileyo…
Ndiyakholelwa ukuba uninzi lweNcwadi yeSityhilelo alubhekiseli esiphelweni sehlabathi, kodwa esiphelweni seli xesha. Zizahluko ezimbalwa zokugqibela kuphela ezijonge esiphelweni umhlaba ngelixa yonke enye into ngaphambili ichaza ikakhulu "ukungqubana kokugqibela" phakathi "komfazi" kunye "nenamba", nazo zonke iziphumo ezibi kwindalo nakuluntu lwemvukelo ngokubanzi oluhamba nayo. Okwahlula okokugqibela ukungqubana sisiphelo sehlabathi kukugwetywa kwezizwe — eyona nto siyivayo kufundo lweMisa lwale veki njengokuba sisondela kwiveki yokuqala yeAdvent, amalungiselelo okuza kukaKristu.
Kwezi veki zimbini zidlulileyo ndihlala ndisiva entliziyweni yam la mazwi, "njengesela ebusuku." Kuluvo lokuba iziganeko ziyeza kwihlabathi eliya kuthatha uninzi lwethu ngalo ukumangaliswa, ukuba abakho baninzi ekhaya. Kufuneka sikwimo “yobabalo,” kodwa singoyiki, kuba nabani na kuthi angabizwa ekhaya nangaliphi na ixesha. Ngale nto, ndiziva ndinyanzelekile ukuba ndiphinde ndiyipapashe le nto ibhaliweyo ngexesha elifanelekileyo ukusuka nge-7 kaDisemba, 2010…
IF uyafunda Ukugcinwa kwentliziyo, emva koko uyazi ngoku ukuba kukangaphi sisilela ukuyigcina! Kulula ukuba siphazanyiswe yinto encinci, sisuswe eluxolweni, kwaye siphume kwiminqweno yethu engcwele. Kwakhona, kunye noPaul Paul siyakhala:
Andenzi le ndiyifunayo, kodwa ndenza le ndiyithiyileyo…! (Roma 7:14)
Kodwa kufuneka sive kwakhona amazwi kaSt.
Kubaleleni ekuthini kuluvuyo olukhulu, bazalwana bam, xa nithe nagaxeleka ezilingweni ngezilingo, nisazi nje ukuba ucikido lokholo lwenu lusebenza umonde. Umonde ke mawube ngogqibeleleyo, ukuze nibe ngabazalisekileyo abagqibeleleyo, ningaswele nto. (Yakobi 1: 2-4)
UGrace akatshiphu, unikezelwa njengokutya okukhawulezayo okanye ucofe imouse. Kufuneka siyilwele! Ukukhumbula, okuphinda kugcine intliziyo, kuhlala kungumzabalazo phakathi kweminqweno yenyama kunye neminqweno kaMoya. Kwaye ke, kuya kufuneka sifunde ukulandela iindlela kaMoya…
