PHA akukho kuvangela ngaphandle kukaMoya oyiNgcwele. Emva kokuchitha iminyaka emithathu bemamele, behamba, bethetha, beloba, besitya kunye, belele ecaleni kwabo, kwaye bebeka nokuba phezu kwebele leNkosi yethu… abaPostile babebonakala bengakwazi ukungena iintliziyo zezizwe ngaphandle IPentekoste. Kude kwafika uMoya oyiNgcwele wehlela phezu kwabo ngeelwimi zomlilo apho umsebenzi weCawa wawuza kuqala.
Ngokunjalo, nomsebenzi ka Yesu-ngokuzolileyo ufukama iminyaka engamashumi amathathu- wawungazukuqala ade abhaptizwe, xa uMoya oyiNgcwele wehla phezu kwakhe njengehobe. Kodwa ukuba uyaqaphela, u-Yesu khange aqale kwangoko ukushumayela. Endaweni yoko, iVangeli kaLuka isixelela ukuba “ezaliswe nguMoya oyiNgcwele"UYesu"bakhokelwa nguMoya entlango. ” Emva kokunyamezela iintsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku bokuzila ukutya kunye nokulingwa, uYesu wavela “ngamandla oMoya oyiNgcwele. " [1]cf. ULuka 4: 1, 14 Yilapho siva amazwi kaMsindisi wethu kwiVangeli yanamhlanje:
Eli lixesha lokuzaliseka. Ubukumkani bukaThixo busondele. Guqukani, kwaye nikholwe kwiVangeli.
Ukuba ungumKatolika, utywinwe ngoMoya oyiNgcwele ngobhaptizo lwakho kunye nesiQinisekiso. Kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba umntu uyinyani umkhenkce UMoya ungaphantsi kakhulu kwi amandla zoMoya oyiNgcwele. Kwenzeka njani ukuba uYesu, lo mchweli ungaziwayo waseNazarete, atsalane ngokukhawuleza nangamandla kangako uSimon, uYakobi noAndreya? Ngaba yayiliqhinga? Ngaba yayingumnqweno wokutshintsha? Ukukruquka? Hayi, “kwakunguYe, kwaye kuye, kwaye kuye… kubunye” [2]isuka e Isithethe soBudlelane namandla oMoya oyiNgcwele ukuze iintliziyo zabo zivulwe.
UMoya Oyingcwele ngummeli ophambili wovangelo: nguYe onyanzela umntu ngamnye ukuba abhengeze iVangeli, kwaye nguYe lowo kubunzulu bezazela owenza ukuba ilizwi losindiso lamkelwe kwaye liqondwe. —UPawulos VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, n. I-75
UYesu uqulunqa indlela yomshumayeli ngamnye emva kwakhe, kwaye yile: ukuze sikwazi ukuhamba ngamandla kaMoya oyiNgcwele, kufuneka kuqala sikulungele ukukhokelwa nguMoya. Kwaye oku kuthetha ukukhokelwa, hayi kuphela emadlelweni aluhlaza, kodwa kwintlambo yethunzi lokufa: entlango. Intlango ingumfuziselo wezilingo, izilingo, nemizabalazo yemihla ngemihla ethi, ukuba sithobela ukuthanda kukaThixo kuzo, zicoce ukholo lwethu kwaye zisikhuphele kuthi ukuze sizaliswe ngakumbi nangakumbi amandla oMoya.
Ngaba uHana, ekufundweni kokuqala, ngumzekelo omhle wentlango esihamba ngayo sonke ngendlela enye okanye enye? Ungumphefumlo oxabisekileyo, othandwa ngokunzulu ngumyeni wakhe. Kodwa akanakumitha, nangona ethembekile eNkosini. Ngenxa yoko, ukhethwa ngabanye. Ngaba kubonakala ngathi ngamanye amaxesha uThixo ukulibele? Ngaba ukhetha wena? Ukuba uyabasikelela abakhohlakeleyo ngelixa uhlangabezana nesilingo esinye emva kwesinye? Mzalwana, ngulo Moya ukukhokelela entlango; dade, oku kukuhlanjululwa nokuvavanywa kokholo lwakho okukhuphela ngaphandle kwesiqu sakho ukuze unikwe amandla nguMoya, “kuba amandla enziwa agqibelele kubuthathaka. ”
INdumiso yanamhlanje ithi:
Kunqabile emehlweni kaYehova Ukufa kwabanyanisekileyo bakhe.
UThixo akakho sadist. Akakonwabeli ukusibona sihlupheka kanye njengokuba utata engakhethi abantwana bakhe. Kodwa into exabisekileyo eNkosini kukubona abantwana baKhe besifa ngesiqu sabo: ukuzingca, ukuzingca, intiyo, umona, ubudlakudla, njalo njalo. Kuxabisekile eNkosini kuba iyasibona ke ukuba siyile nto sayidalayo; kubalulekile kuba akasishiyi singenanto kwaye sihamba ze, kodwa usinxibisa ukuthobeka, umonde, ubulali, ululamo, uvuyo, uthando… isiqhamo soMoya oyiNgcwele.
Ekugqibeleni uHana wazala unyana sele ekhulile. Kutheni engenakuba nosapho olukhulu njengaye wonke umntu? Oku kuhlala kuyimfihlakalo, njengoko uninzi lweembandezelo zethu ziya kuhlala ziyimfihlakalo. Kodwa unyana wakhe uSamuweli waba yibhulorho eyayikhokelela ebukumkanini bukaDavide, eyayingumanduleli wolawulo lukanaphakade lukaKristu. Ngokukwanjalo, uYesu akazange enze abafundi behlabathi liphela. Kodwa izilingo zaKhe entlango zabeka isiseko sokukhetha amadoda alishumi elinambini athi ekugqibeleni alinyikimise ilizwe lonke. Kwaye oko, khange kuqale de babe abaPostile ngokwabo begqithe kwintlango yegumbi eliphezulu.
UNyana nangona wayekhona, wafunda ukuthobela kwimbandezelo awayekuyo… waziqongqotha konke… ethobela de kwasekufeni… Ngenxa yoku uThixo wamphakamisa kakhulu. (Heb 5: 8; Fil 2: 7-9)
Ke musa ukugweba entlango. Vumela uMoya ukukhokele. Impendulo ayisiyo "Kutheni Nkosi?" kodwa “Ewe, Nkosi.” Kwaye emva koko, njengoYesu noHana kwiintlango zabo, thandaza, ukhalimele izilingo zikaSathana, hlala uthembekile, kwaye ulinde uMoya oyiNgcwele ukuba atshintshe ubuthathaka amandla, inzalo ekuchumeni ngokomoya, entlango ibe yindawo entle.
… Sibongoza bonke abavangeli, nokuba bangobani na, ukuba bathandaze ngokungapheziyo kuMoya oyiNgcwele ngokholo nangenkuthalo kwaye bazivumele ngobulumko ukuba bakhokelwe nguYe njengomgqugquzeli ogqibeleleyo wezicwangciso zabo, amalinge abo nomsebenzi wabo wobuvangeli. —UPawulos VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, n. I-75
Isiseko esikhulu nesomeleleyo sobomi bokomoya kukuzinikela kwethu kuThixo kwaye sithobele intando yakhe kuzo zonke izinto…. Ngokwenene uThixo uyasinceda nokuba singaziva njani ukuba siphulukene nenkxaso yakhe. —Fr. UJean-Pierre de Caussade, Ukulahla kulungiselelo lukaThixo
