UKUTHOBELA
UYESU Wajonga phantsi iJerusalem walila xa ekhala:
Ukuba namhlanje ubusazi kuphela ukuba yintoni ebangela uxolo-kodwa ngoku ifihlakele emehlweni akho. (IVangeli yanamhlanje)
Namhlanje, uYesu ujonga ihlabathi, kunye namaKristu amaninzi ngokukodwa, kwaye kwakhona uyakhala: Ukuba ubusazi ukuba yintoni na eyenza uxolo! Ingxoxo yobugcisa bokuqala kwakhona ayiyi kugqitywa ngaphandle kokubuza, "apho ndiqale kwakhona?" Impendulo kuloo nto, kunye “nento esingisa eluxolweni”, ziyafana: i intando kaThixo.
Njengoko benditshilo Icandelo I, ngenxa yokuba uThixo uluthando, yaye wonke umntu udalwe ngokomfanekiselo wakhe, senziwe ukuba sithande yaye sithandwe: “umthetho wothando” ubhalwe ezintliziyweni zethu. Nanini na siphambuka kulo mthetho, siyaphambuka kumthombo woxolo novuyo lokwenyaniso. Ndiyambulela uThixo, ngoYesu Krestu, sinokuphinda siqale kwakhona.
Ngobubele obungasidanisi, kodwa obusoloko bukwazi ukubuyisela uvuyo lwethu, wenza ukuba sikwazi ukuphakamisa iintloko zethu kwaye siqale ngokutsha.-IPOPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium, n. I-3
Kodwa qala ngokutsha phi? Eneneni, kufuneka siziphakamisele kude iintloko zethu kwiindlela zentshabalalo, sizibeke kwindlela elungileyo—ukuthanda kukaThixo. Kuba uYesu wathi:
Ukuba nithi niyigcine imithetho yam, hlalani eluthandweni lwam… Ezi zinto ndizithethile kuni, ukuze uvuyo lwam lube kuni, luthi novuyo lwenu lugqibelele. Nguwo lo umthetho wam, wokuba nithandane, njengoko ndinithandayo nina. Kuba wonke umthetho uzaliswe ngelizwi elinye, elithi, Uze umthande ummelwane wakho ngoko uzithanda ngako. ( Yohane 15:10-12; Galati 5:14 )
Khawucinge nje ngomhlaba nendlela ukujikeleza kwawo ilanga okuwavelisa ngayo amaxesha onyaka, nto leyo ebangela ukuba kubekho ubomi nokhuseleko kwesi sijikelezi-langa. Ukuba umhlaba ubunokutenxeka nakancinane kwindlela yawo, bekuya kubangela ukuba kubekho imiphumo ebuhlungu eya kuthi ekugqibeleni ifikelele incopho yokufa. Ngokunjalo, utsho uSt. “Umvuzo wesono kukufa, kodwa isipho sikaThixo bubomi obungunaphakade kuKristu Yesu iNkosi yethu.” [1]I-Rom 6: 23
Akwanelanga ukuthi ndicela uxolo. NjengoZakeyu, simele senze izigqibo notshintsho olucacileyo—maxa wambi oluphawulekayo nolunzima—ukuze silungise “umjikelo” wobomi bethu ukuze, kwakhona, sijikeleze uNyana kaThixo. [2]cf. Mat 5:30 Kungale ndlela kuphela esiya kuthi sazi ngayo “yintoni eyenza uxolo.” Ubugcisa bokuqalisa kwakhona abunakuguquka bube kubugcisa bobumnyama bokubuyela kwiindlela zethu zakudala—ngaphandle kokuba sikulungele ukuhluthwa uxolo kwakhona.
Yibani ngabenzi belizwi, ningabi ngabaphulaphuli kodwa, nizikhohlisa. Ngokuba umntu, ukuba ungumphulaphuli nje welizwi, engemenzi walo, lowo ufana nendoda eqiqa ubuso bayo bobuso esipilini. Uyazibona, emva koko ahambe kwaye alibale ngokukhawuleza ukuba wayenjani. Kodwa umntu oqondela kumthetho ogqibeleleyo wenkululeko, aze azingise, aze angabi ngumphulaphuli olibalayo, kodwa abe engowenzayo, uya kusikelelwa kuloo nto ayenzayo. (Yakobi 1: 22-25)
Yonke imiyalelo kaThixo—indlela esimele siphile ngayo, siyithande yaye siziphathe ngayo—icaciswe kakuhle Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, esisishwankathelo seemfundiso zikaKrestu njengoko bezityhileka kwiminyaka engama-2000. Njengokuba umjikelo womhlaba “ulungisiwe” ujikeleze iLanga, ngokunjalo, “inyaniso esikhululayo” ayitshintshi (njengokuba abezopolitiko nabagwebi bethu bebeya kufuna ukuba sikholelwe ngenye indlela). I “umthetho ogqibeleleyo wenkululeko” kuphela luvelisa uvuyo noxolo, ukuba sithi silulamele oko; okanye siphinde sibe ngamakhoboka esono;
Inene, inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Bonke abenza isono bangamakhoboka esono. (UYohane 8:34)
Ke ngoko, ubugcisa bokuqalisa kwakhona abubandakanyi nje ukuthembela kuthando lukaThixo nakwinceba yakhe engapheliyo, kodwa ukuthemba nokuba kukho iindlela esingenako ukuzihla, nokuba ithini na imvakalelo yethu okanye inyama yethu, ukukhala, okanye ukusiyalela. iimvakalelo zethu.
Kuba nabizelwa enkululekweni, bazalwana; Kodwa musani ukuyisebenzisa le nkululeko ukuvulela inyama ithuba; Ndaweni yaloo nto khonzanani niqhutywa luthando. ( Gal 5:13 )
Kuyintoni ukuthanda? ICawa, njengomama olungileyo, isifundisa kuzo zonke izizukulwana oko kuqulethwe luthando, olusekelwe kwisidima somntu, owenziwe ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo. Ukuba unqwenela ukonwaba, ukuba noxolo, ukonwaba... ukuba ndikhululeke... umamele ke lo Mama.
musani ke ukuthatha isimilo sabantu beli phakade, kodwa kumila kumbi ngokuhlaziyeka kwengqiqo yenu… Yambathani iNkosi uYesu Kristu, ningalungiseleli iinkanuko zenyama.”— Roma 12:2; 13:14 .
Ubugcisa bokuqalisa kwakhona, ke, abupheleli nje ekubambeni kwakhona isandla senceba sikaBawo, kodwa sikwathatha isandla sikaMama wethu, iCawe, kwaye sibavumele bahambe nathi kwindlela emxinwa yeNtando yobuThixo ekhokelela kwi. ubomi obungunaphakade.
