Indlela encinci

 

DO ungachithi xesha ucinga ngamagorha abangcwele, imimangaliso yabo, ubugwenxa obungaqhelekanga, okanye ukonwaba ukuba oko kukuzisela nje ukudimazeka kule meko ukuyo (“Andisoze ndibengomnye wabo,” siyadibana, sibuyele kwangoko ubume bekho phantsi kwesithende sikaSathana). Endaweni yoko, zixakeke ngokuhamba nje kwi Indlela encinci, engakhokeleli kungaphantsi, kwiimbono zabangcwele.

 

INDLELA ENCINANE

UYesu wavula iNdlela encinci xa wathi kubalandeli bakhe:

Nabani na onqwenela ukundilandela makazincame, athabathe umnqamlezo wakhe, andilandele. (Mat 16: 24)

Ndingathanda ukuphinda ndichaze oku ngenye indlela: Yala, Faka isicelo, kwaye unqule.

Kuthetha ukuthini ukuzincama? UYesu wakwenza oko ngalo lonke ixesha lobomi bakhe basemhlabeni.

Ndihle emazulwini, ndingaze kwenza ukuthanda kwam; ndize kwenza ukuthanda kwalowo wandithumayo. Amen, amen, ndithi kuni, Unyana akanakwenza nto ngokwakhe, engathanga abone uyise esenza. ( Yohane 6:38; 5:19 )

Inyathelo lokuqala leNdlela eNcinci kumzuzu ngamnye kukukhanyela ukuthanda kukabani okuchasene nemithetho kaThixo, umthetho wothando—ukugatya “ubuhle besono,” njengoko sisitsho kumadinga ethu oBhaptizo.

Kuba konke okusehlabathini, inkanuko, inkanuko yamehlo, nobuqhophololo, asikokuphuma kuye uYise, kokuphuma ehlabathini. Ukanti ihlabathi nenkohliso yalo liyadlula. Ke yena owenza ukuthanda kukaThixo uhleli ngonaphakade. ( 1 Yohane 2:16-17 )

Ngaphezu koko, kukubeka uThixo nommelwane wam phambi kwam: "Ndingowesithathu".

kuba uNyana woMntu engezanga kulungiselelwa; ( Marko 10:45 )

Ngaloo ndlela, inyathelo lokuqala kumzuzu ngamnye a Unyango, ukuziqongqotha “kwisiqu sakho” ukuze azaliswe sisonka sasezulwini, esikukuthanda kukaBawo.

Okwam ukudla kukuba ndenze ukuthanda kowandithumayo. ( Yohane 4:34 )

 

II. Faka

Sakuba sikuqonde ukuthanda kukaThixo, simele senze isigqibo sokwenza oko sicelo ngayo ebomini bethu. Njengoko ndibhale Ukuba Ngcwele, intando kaBawo ibonakaliswa ngokuqhelekileyo ebomini bethu “ngomsebenzi welo xesha”: izitya, umsebenzi wasekhaya, umthandazo, njalo njalo. “Ukuthwala umnqamlezo kabani” kukwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo. Ngaphandle koko, inyathelo lokuqala elithi "Ukukhanyela" kuku-introspection okungenantsingiselo. Njengoko uPope Francis etshilo mva nje,

… hayi indlela ekukuhle ngayo ukuba kunye naYe kwaye kuphosakele kangakanani ukuhlukanisa phakathi kuka ‘ewe’ no ‘hayi,’ ukuthi ‘ewe,’ kodwa ukwaneliseka nje ngokuba ngumKristu nje ngegama. —Unomathotholo weVatican, ngoNovemba 5, 2013

Eneneni, mangaphi amaKristu akwaziyo into okuyiyo ukuthanda kukaThixo, kodwa angakwenzi!

Kuba umntu, ukuba ungumphulaphuli nje welizwi, engemenzi walo, lowo ufana nendoda eqiqa ubuso bayo esipilini. Uyazibona, aze ahambe aze alibale kwangoko ukuba wayenjani. Ke yena oqondela emthethweni ogqibeleleyo wayo inkululeko, ahlale ehleli, lowo engenguye umphulaphuli olibalayo, esuke waba ngumenzi wesenzo, lowo uya kuba noyolo ekwenzeni kwakhe. ( Yakobi 1:23-25 ​​)

UYesu ulibiza ngokufanelekileyo eli nyathelo lesibini kwiNdlela encinci “umnqamlezo”, kuba kulapha sidibana nokuchasa inyama, ukutsalwa kwehlabathi, idabi elingaphakathi phakathi kuka “ewe” okanye “hayi” kuThixo. Ke, kulapha apho sithatha inyathelo ngobabalo.

Kuba nguThixo okusebenzayo Ngaphakathi kwenu ukuthanda oko, kwanokusebenza oko, ngenxa yenkolelo yakhe. ( Fil 2:13 )

Ukuba uYesu Kristu wayefuna uSimon waseKirene ukuba amncede athwale umnqamlezo Wakhe, ngoko qiniseka ukuba, sifuna “iiSimons” ngokunjalo: iiSakramente, iLizwi likaThixo, ukuthethelelwa kukaMariya nabangcwele, nobomi bomthandazo.

Umthandazo uya kubabalo esilufunayo kwizenzo ezifanelekileyo. -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-2010

Kungenxa yoko le nto uYesu wathi:thandazani ngamaxesha onke, ningadinwa" ^[1]Luke 18: 1 kuba umsebenzi wexeshana ngumzuzu ngamnye. Sifuna ubabalo lwaKhe ngamaxesha onke, ngakumbi ukuze sikwazi zenzele imisebenzi yethu….

 

III. Qinisekisa

Kufuneka sizincame size sizibhokoxe ekwenzeni ukuthanda kukaThixo. Kodwa njengoko iSt. Paul isikhumbuza:

Ukuba ndithe ndanikela ngezinto zonke endinazo, nokuba ndithe ndawunikela umzimba wam ukuba ndiqhayise, kodwa ukuba ndingenalo uthando, akuncedi nto. (Funda eyoku-1 kwabaseKorinte 13:3.)

Ngokucacileyo, “imisebenzi yethu elungileyo” ayilunganga ngaphandle kokuba inento kaThixo ongumthombo wako konke ukulunga, oluthando ngokwalo. Oku kuthetha ukwenza izinto ezincinane ngenyameko enkulu, ngokungathi sizenzela thina.

Uze umthande ummelwane wakho ngoko uzithanda ngako. ( Marko 12:31 )

Sukujonga izinto ezinkulu, yenza nje izinto ezincinci ngothando olukhulu…. Eyona nto incinci, inkulu kufuneka ibe luthando lwethu. —Imiyalelo kaMama uTeresa eya kwiMC Sisters, ngo-Oktobha 30, 1981; ukusuka Yiza ube sisikhanyiso sam, p. 34, uBrian Kolodiejchuk, MC

UYesu wathi, “Ndilandele.” Wazolula iingalo Zakhe emnqamlezweni, wafa. Oku kuthetha ukuba andiyishiyi loo ngqushu phantsi kwetafile endiyaziyo ukuba ikhona, kodwa ndiziva ndidinwe kakhulu ukuba ndingaphinda ndikhuphe umtshayelo ukuze nditshayele. Kutsho ukuba umntwana ndiyamtshintsha idiaper xa ekhala kunokuba ndimyekele umfazi wam. Kuthetha ukuthatha kungekuphela nje kwintsalela yam, kodwa nakwindlela yam yokubonelela umntu osweleyo. Kuthetha ukuba ngowokugqibela xa ndinokuba ngowokuqala. Ngamafutshane, kuthetha ukuba, njengoko uCatherine Doherty wayedla ngokuthi, ndingqengqa “kwelinye icala lomnqamlezo kaKristu”—ukuba “ndimlandele” ngokuzifela mna.

Ngale ndlela, uThixo uqalisa ukulawula nasemhlabeni, njengasezulwini kancinci kancinci, kuba xa sisenza ngothando, uThixo “oluthando” usoloko elawula izenzo zethu. Yiloo nto eyenza ukuba ityuwa ilunge kwaye ikhanye. Ke ngoko, ezi zenzo zothando aziyi kundiguqula ngakumbi nangakumbi ukuba ndiZithande, kodwa ziya kuba nefuthe kwabo ndibathandayo ngothando lwakhe.

Malukhanye ngokunjalo ukhanyiselo lwenu phambi kwabantu; ukuze bayibone imisebenzi yenu emihle, bamzukise uYihlo osemazulwini. ( Mateyu 5:16 )

Uthando lulo oluyikhanyisa imisebenzi yethu, kungekuphela nje ekuthobeleni kwethu, kodwa nasekuyenzeni njani siyazikhupha:

Uthando luzeka kade umsindo, lunobubele. Alunakhwele, uthando aluzigwagwisi, alukhukhumali, alunabukrwada, alufuni ezalo izilangazelelo, alucaphuki, alucingi ngobubi; ngenyaniso. Luthwala iinto zonke, lukholelwa izinto zonke, luthemba iinto zonke, lunyamezela iinto zonke. Uthando soze lwehluleka. ( 1 Korinte 13:4-8 )

Uthando, ke, yintoni na unqula imisebenzi yethu, eyifaka ngamandla kaThixo oluthando, ukuguqula iintliziyo nendalo ngokwayo.

 

TATA

Chala, Faka isicelo, kwaye ukhonze. Benza isishunqulelo esithi TATA Indlela encinci ayisosiphelo ngokwayo, kodwa yindlela eya kumanyana noBawo. Tata, ngesiNgesi, ngu “abba” ngesiHebhere. UYesu weza ukuze asixolelanise noBawo wethu, uBawo wethu, uAbba wethu. Asinakuze sixolelaniswe noBawo oseZulwini ngaphandle kokuba silandela emanyathelweni kaYesu.

Lo nguNyana wam oyintanda, endikholisiweyo nguye; mphulaphuleni yena. ( Mateyu 17:5 )

Kwaye ekuphulaphuleni, ekulandeleni uYesu, siya kufumana uBawo.

Lowo unayo imiyalelo yam aze ayigcine, nguye ondithandayo. Lowo ke undithandayo, uya kuthandwa nguBawo; nam ndiya kumthanda, ndizityhile kuye. ( Yohane 14:21 )

Kodwa uBawo wethu naye uyazi ukuba le Ndlela i indlela emxinwa. Kukho amajiko-jiko, iinduli namatye; kukho ubusuku obumnyama, amaxhala, kunye namaxesha oyikekayo. Ke ngoko, usithumelele uMthetheleli, uMoya oyiNgcwele, ukuba asincede sidanduluke ngaloo maxesha, "Abba, Bawo!" ^[2]cf. Roma 8:15; Gal 4:6 Hayi, nangona iNdlela encinci ilula, isenzima. Kodwa apha kulapho kufuneka sibe nokholo olufana nolwabantwana ukuze xa sikhubeka kwaye siwe, xa singcolisa ngokupheleleyo kwaye sisona, siguqukele kwinceba yakhe ukuze siqale kwakhona.

Esi sigqibo siqinisekileyo sokuba ngcwele sithandeka kakhulu kum. Ndiyayisikelela imizamo yakho kwaye ndizakukunika amathuba okuzingcwalisa. Lumka ungalahleki naliphi na ithuba ubonelelo lwam ekubonelela ngalo ngokungcwaliswa. Ukuba awuphumeleli ekusebenziseni ithuba, musa ukuphulukana noxolo lwakho, kodwa zithobe kakhulu phambi Kwam kwaye, ngokuzithemba okukhulu, zitshonise ngokupheleleyo kwinceba yam. Ngale ndlela, uzuza ngaphezulu kokulahlekileyo, kuba ubabalo lunikwa umphefumlo othobekileyo kunokuba umphefumlo uqobo ucele ... —UYesu ukuya eSt. Faustina, Inceba kaThixo kumphefumlo wam, Iidayari, n. 1361

Kufuneka sizixakekise ngenceba nentando yakhe, hayi ngokusilela kwethu nokona kwethu!

Zama konke okusemandleni akho, ngaphandle kokukhathazeka okugqithisileyo, zintombi zam, ukwenza ngokugqibeleleyo into omele uyenze kunye nento ongathanda ukuyenza. Kanye wena wenze into, nangona kunjalo, ungacingi ngayo kwakhona. Endaweni yoko, cinga kuphela ngezinto ekusafuneka uzenze, okanye onqwenela ukuzenza, okanye ozenzayo ngoko. Hambani ngeendlela zeNkosi, ningabi nakuzohlwaya; Kufuneka uzijongele phantsi iintsilelo zakho kodwa ngokuzola kunokuba ube nexhala nokungazinzi. Ngeso sizathu, yiba nomonde ngabo kwaye ufunde ukuxhamla kubo ngokuzithoba okungcwele…. —ISt. Pio, Ileta eya koodade baseVentrella, ngoMatshi 8, 1918; Isikhokelo soMoya sikaPadre Pio kwiMihla yonke, UGianluigi Pasquale, iphe. 232

Simele sizincame, Sizibhokoxe, size siyihlonele imisebenzi yethu ngokwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo ngothando. Le yiNdlela eqhelekileyo, engenamtsalane, encinci. Kambe ke aziyi kukhokelela wena wedwa, kodwa nabanye abantu, ebomini bukaThixo, apha nakwiphakade elingunaphakade.

Ondithandayo uya kuligcina ilizwi lam;
wothi uBawo amthande;
kwaye siya kuza kuye senze
ukuhlala kwethu naye. ( Yohane 14:23 )
