Isiqu sakho sangaphakathi

UKUHLAWULWA KWELENTEN
Usuku 5

ZI usenam? Ngumhla wesihlanu wokurhoxa kwethu, kwaye ndiqinisekile ukuba uninzi lwenu luyasokola kwezi ntsuku zokuqala ukuhlala nizimisele. Kodwa thatha loo nto, mhlawumbi, njengomqondiso wokuba ungayidinga le retreat ngaphezu kokuba ucinga. Ndingatsho ukuba le yimeko yam.

Namhlanje, siyaqhubeka nokwandisa umbono wokuba kuthetha ntoni ukuba ngumkristu kwaye sikuko kuKristu…

Zimbini izinto ezenzekayo xa sibhaptizwa. Eyokuqala yeyokuba sihlanjululwe kuso sonke isono, ngakumbi isono santlandlolo. Okwesibini kukuba siba indalo entsha kuKristu.

Ngoko ke, ukuba ubani ukuKristu, usisidalwa esitsha; ezindala zidlule, yabona, zifikile. (2 Kor. 5:17)

Inyaniso, iCatechism ifundisa ukuba ikholwa "lihlanjululwe" ^[1]cf. I-CCC, 1988 by ubabalo olungcwalisayo ngokholo nobhaptizo. 

Ubabalo ngu ukuthatha inxaxheba kubomi bukaThixo. Isazisa ngokusondeleyo kubomi bukaBathathu Emnye... -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-1997

Esi sipho sasimahla sobabalo, ke, sisenza ukuba sikwazi babe "ngamadlelane endalo kaThixo nobomi obungunaphakade." ^[2]CCC, 1996

Kucacile ke ukuba ukuba ngumKristu ayisiyonto yokujoyina iklabhu, kodwa kukuba ngumntu omtsha ngokupheleleyo. Kodwa oku akuzenzekeli. Ifuna ukusebenzisana kwethu. Ifuna ukuba sisebenzisane noMoya oyiNgcwele ukuze ubabalo lusiguqule ngakumbi nangakumbi sifane nomfanekiselo kaThixo esadalwa ngawo. Njengoko uPaul Paul wafundisa:

Abo wabazi ngenxa engaphambili, wabamisela ngenxa engaphambili ukuba bafane nomfanekiselo woNyana wakhe… (Rom 8:29)

Ithetha ntoni le nto? Kuthetha ukuba uBawo unqwenela ukuguqula "umntu wethu wangaphakathi", njengoko uSt. Paul ebiza njalo, ngakumbi nangakumbi kuYesu. Oko akuthethi ukuba uThixo unqwenela ukucima ubuntu bakho nezipho zakho ezizodwa, kodwa endaweni yoko, uzenze ngobomi obungaphezu kwendalo bukaYesu, thanda umntu. Njengokuba ndihlala ndisitsho kulutsha xa ndithetha ezikolweni: “UYesu akazelanga kuzothatha ubuntu bakho; Uze kususa isono sakho esonakalisa ukuba ungubani kanye kanye! ”

Ke, injongo yoBhaptizo ayisiyiyo usindiso lwakho kuphela, kodwa kukuzisa ngaphakathi kwakho isiqhamo soMoya oyiNgcwele, osisi Uthando, uvuyo, uxolo, ukuzeka kade umsindo, ububele, ukulunga, intembeko, ubulali, nokuzeyisa. ” ^[3]Gal 5: 22 Musa ukucinga ngezi zinto zintle njengeyona migangatho iphakamileyo okanye imigangatho engenakufezekiswa. Kunoko, bajonge njengabantu uThixo awayefuna ukuba babe nabo kwasekuqaleni.

Xa umi apho evenkileni ukuze ukhethe itowaster, ngaba uyayithenga imodeli yomgangatho enesifotho, amaqhosha alahlekileyo, kwaye ngaphandle kwesikhokelo? Okanye uyayichola entsha ebhokisini? Ewe uyakwenza. Uhlawula imali elungileyo, kwaye kutheni kufanele ukuba uhlawule kancinci. Okanye ungavuya nolo lwaphukileyo luthi xa ufika ekhaya, lukhuphuke lutshaywa ngumsi?

Kutheni le nto sihlala kancinci xa kufikwa kubomi bethu basemoyeni? Uninzi lwethu luhlala luphukile kuba akukho mntu usinike umbono wokuba ungaphaya koko. Uyabona, ubhaptizo sisipho esenza ukuba, ungathi, sikhethe eyona toaster siyifunayo-ukuba ngcwele, okanye ukunamathela kumfuziselo womgangatho owaphukileyo. Kodwa mamela, uThixo akanelisekanga yintliziyo yakho ifiphele, umphefumlo wakho ulahlekile amaqhosha, kunye nengqondo yakho ibhadula ngaphandle kwendlela ecacileyo. Jonga uMnqamlezo kwaye ubone indlela uThixo awakubonisa ngayo ukungonwabi kwakhe ngokuqhekeka kwethu! Yiyo le nto uSt.

… Musani ukumilisa okweli hlabathi; manibe kumila kumbi ngokuhlaziyeka kwengqiqo yenu, ukuze nikucikide into okuyiyo ukuthanda kukaThixo okulungileyo, okukholekileyo, okuzalisekileyo. (Roma 12: 2)

Uyabona, ayizenzekeli. Utshintsho luza xa siqala ukuhlaziya iingqondo zethu ngelizwi likaThixo, ngeemfundiso zeNkolo yamaKatolika, nokuzilungelelanisa neVangeli.

Njengoko besele nditshilo kule retreat, ngokungathi le ndoda yangaphakathi okanye umfazi enjalo ikhulelwe ngaphakathi kwethu kuBhaptizo. Kuseza kukhuliswa ngu Iisakramente, Yenziwe yi ILizwi likaThixo, kwaye yomelezwa nge mthandazo ukuze sithathe inxaxheba kubomi bukaThixo, sibe ngcwele, sibe "netyuwa nokukhanya" kwabanye abadinga ithemba nosindiso.

Wanga anganomeleza ngamandla omoya wakhe owangaphakathi, ukuze noKrestu ahlale ezintliziyweni zenu ngokholo. (Efese 3:17)

Bazalwane noodade, akwanele ukuba ngumntwana obhaptiziweyo ongumKatolika. Akwanele nokuya kwidini leMisa rhoqo ngeCawa. Asidlelani kwiklabhu yelizwe, kodwa kwindalo kaThixo!

Ke ngoko masiyishiye imfundiso esisiqalo kaKristu, siqhubele kwelokukhula. (Heb 6: 1)

Kwaye besithetha ngale ndlela yokuvuthwa izolo: ngokungena kwi "Ukufa okuhle. ” Njengoko kufundisa iCatechism:

Indlela yokugqibelela idlula ngendlela yoMnqamlezo. Akukho bungcwele ngaphandle kokulahla kunye nemfazwe yokomoya. Inkqubela phambili yokomoya ibandakanya i-ascesis kunye nodaka olukhokelela ngokuthe ngcembe kukuphila eluxolweni naselonwabeni lweMbeko. -CCC, n. 2015 ("ascesis and mortification" ethetha "ukuzikhanyela")

Ke ngoku lixesha lokuba singene nzulu kule ndawo yokubaleka, siqale sihlolisise iindlela esinokuthi someleze ngazo kwaye sikhuthaze umntu wangaphakathi, kwaye siqale ukwenza "uxolo novuyo lweeNgcombolo." Vumela uMama wethu osikelelweyo, emva koko, aphindaphinde kuwe into eyathethwa nguSt. Paul kubantwana bakhe bokomoya:

Bantwana bam, endibuye ndasebenza ngenxa yabo, ade uKristu amiliswe ngaphakathi kwenu. (Gal 4:19)

ISISHWANKATHELO NESIBHALO

UBawo akazimisele ukusihlambulula esonweni ngoBhaptizo kuphela, kodwa nokusinceda ukuba sibe sisidalwa esitsha, esenziwe ngokomfanekiselo woNyana wakhe.

Ke ngoko, asidimazeki; kunokuba, nangona umntu wethu wangaphandle ewohloka, umntu wangaphakathi uyahlaziyeka imihla ngemihla. (2 Kor. 4:16)
