KUNYE iminyaka eliqela, ndimbuzile uYesu ukuba kutheni ndibuthathaka kangaka, ndingenamonde ekulingweni, ndibonakala ndingenamandla. “Nkosi,” bendikhe ndatsho kalikhulu, “Ndithandaza yonke imihla, ndiya kwi-Confession veki nganye, ndithi kwiRosari, ndithandaza e-Ofisini, bendiye kwiMisa yemihla ngemihla iminyaka… kutheni, ke, ukungangcwele? Kutheni le nto ndithontelana phantsi kwezona zilingo zincinci? Kutheni ndikhawuleza ndicaphuke kangaka? ” Ndingawaphinda kakuhle amazwi ka-St. Gregory Omkhulu xa ndizama ukuphendula ikhwelo likaBawo oyiNgcwele lokuba "ngumlindi" wamaxesha ethu.
Nyana womntu, ndikwenze umboniseli kwindlu kaSirayeli; Qaphela ukuba indoda eyathunyelwa yiNkosi njengomshumayeli ibizwa ngokuba ngumlindi. Umlindi uhlala emi endaweni ephakamileyo ukuze abone kude kude oko kuza. Nawuphi na umntu omiselwe ukuba abe ngumlindi wabantu makaphakamise ubomi bakhe bonke ukuze abancede ngokubona kwangaphambili.
Kunzima kangakanani kum ukuthetha oku, kuba ngawo la magama ndiyazigxeka. Andikwazi ukushumayela ngobuchule, kwaye nangona ndiphumelela, kunjalo nje andibuphili ubomi bam ngokushumayela kwam.
Andilukhanyeli uxanduva lwam; Ndiyaqonda ukuba ndiyonqena kwaye andikhathali, kodwa mhlawumbi ukuvuma kwesiphoso sam kuya kundenza ndixolelwe ngumgwebi wam olungileyo. —St. UGregory Omkhulu, usapho, Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyure, Umqu. IV, iphe. 1365-66
Njengokuba ndandithandaza phambi kweSakramente elisikelelekileyo, ndicela iNkosi ukuba indincede ndiqonde ukuba kutheni ndisisono kangaka emva kwemizamo emininzi kangaka, ndajonga phezulu emnqamlezweni ndayiva iNkosi ekugqibeleni iphendula lo mbuzo uqaqambileyo nosasazekayo…
UMHLABA WEDWA
Impendulo yeza kumzekeliso womhlwayeli:
Umhlwayeli waphuma waya kuhlwayela… Enye yawela endaweni elulwalwa, apho kwakungekho mhlaba mncinane. Yantshula kwangoko kuba umhlaba ubungekho nzulu, yaza yathi lakuphuma ilanga yatsha, yaza yabuna ngenxa yokungabi nangcambu. Abo basemhlabeni unamatye ngabo abathi, baliva, balamkele ngovuyo ilizwi, Andinangcambu; Bakholelwa okwexeshana kwaye bawe ngexesha lokulingwa. (Mt 13: 3-6; Luk 8:13)
Ndithe ndisajonge umzimba ka Yesu ohlatyiweyo nowakrazukileyo exhonywe entla kweTabernakele, ndeva eyona ngcaciso imnandi emphefumlweni wam:
Unentliziyo enamatye. Yintliziyo eswele uthando. Nifuna mna, ukuze nindithande, kodwa niyilibale inxalenye yesibini yomthetho wam omkhulu: ukuthanda ummelwane wakho njengawe siqu.
Umzimba wam unjengentsimi. Onke amanxeba am angene nzulu enyameni yam: iinzipho, ameva, isibetho, isikhubekiso emadolweni am
nomngxuma okrazukileyo egxalabeni lam. Inyama yam ikhuliswe luthando-ngokuzinikela okupheleleyo okumba kunye nokulima kunye neinyembezi enyameni. Olu luhlobo lothando lommelwane endithetha ngalo, apho kugqitha khona kufuna ukusebenzela umfazi nabantwana bakho, uyazikhanyela-uzimba emzimbeni wakho.
Ke, ngokungafaniyo nomhlaba onamatye, intliziyo yakho iyakulinywa nzulu kangangokuba iLizwi lam linokumila ngaphakathi kuwe lithwale iziqhamo ezityebileyo… endaweni yokutshiswa bubushushu bezilingo kuba intliziyo ikho phezulu kwaye ayinzulu.
Ewe, emva kokuba ndife — emveni kokuba ndinikezele ngayo yonke into—ukuba kuxa intliziyo yam yahlatywa, Intliziyo ingeyiyo eyelitye, kodwa eyenyama. Ukusuka kule Ntliziyo yothando kunye nedini kuphume amanzi negazi ukuba zigeleze ezintlangeni zibaphilise. Ngokukwanjalo ke, xa ufuna ukukhonza kwaye uzinikele konke kummelwane wakho, ke iLizwi lam, olinikwe ngazo zonke iindlela ondifuna ngazo-umthandazo, ukuvuma isono, umthendeleko oNgcwele- uyakufumana indawo entliziyweni yakho. inyama ukuhluma. Kwaye kuwe, Mntwana wam, entliziyweni yakho kuya kuphuma ubomi obungaphezu kwendalo kunye nobungcwele obuya kubachukumisa bubaguqule abo bakungqongileyo.
Ekugqibeleni, ndaqonda! Kukangaphi ndithandaza okanye "ndisenza ubulungiseleli bam" okanye ndixakekile ndithetha nabanye "ngoThixo" xa umfazi wam okanye abantwana bendifuna. "Ndixakekile ndikhonza iNkosi," ndandiqinisekile. Kodwa amagama ka-St. Paul athatha intsingiselo entsha:
Ndingafanelana ndithetha ngolwimi lomntu neengelosi, uthando ke ndingenalo, ndisuke ndaba yixina ehlokomayo, necangci elikhenkcezayo. Ndingafanelana ndinabo nobuprofeto, ndizazi iimfihlelo zonke, ndinako konke ukwazi; ukuba ndinalo lonke ukholo lokususa iintaba kodwa ndingenalo uthando, andinto yanto. Ewe, nokuba ndinganikisa ngempahla yam yonke, ndide nam ngokwam ndizinikele ukuba ndiziqhayise, uthando ke ndingenalo, akundincedi lutho. (1 Kor. 13: 1-3)
UYesu uyishwankathela:
Kutheni undibiza ngokuthi, 'Nkosi, Nkosi,' kodwa ungakwenzi oko ndikuyalelayo? (ULuka 6:46)
THE WOKWENENE INGQONDO KAKRESTU
Ndiweve kaninzi kulo nyaka uphelileyo amazwi eNkosi,
Kodwa ndinento le kuwe: Ulahlekelwe luthando owawunalo kuqala. Qaphela ukuba uwe kude kangakanani. Guquka, kwaye wenze imisebenzi owawenza ekuqaleni. (Isityh. 2: 4-5)
Uthetha neCawe, Uthetha nam. Ngaba sithanda kakhulu ukuxolisa, ukufunda iZibhalo, izifundo zakwalizwi, iinkqubo zerhamente, ukufunda ngokwasemoyeni, imiqondiso yamaxesha, umthandazo nokucamngca… sade salulibala ubizo lwethu- uthando-Ukubonisa abanye ubuso bukaKristu ngokwenza izenzo zokuzincama zenkonzo ethobekileyo? Kungenxa yokuba le nto iyakuqinisekisa umhlaba, indlela ye-Centurion
Wayeqinisekile-hayi ngokushumayela kukaKristu-kodwa ekugqibeleni koko wakubonayo kwenzeka phambi kwakhe eMnqamlezweni eGolgotha. Kufanele ukuba siqiniseke ngoku ukuba umhlaba awuyi kuguqulwa ziintshumayelo zethu ezinobuciko, iiwebhusayithi ezingacacanga, okanye iinkqubo ezikrelekrele.
Ukuba igama alikaguquki, iya kuba ligazi eliguqukayo. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, usuka kumbongo “Igama loqhagamshelwano Stanislaw"
Ndifumana iileta mihla le zichaza ngesikhukula sonyeliso esiqhubeka siphuma kwimithombo yeendaba zaseNtshona. Kodwa ngaba oku kukunyelisa ngokwenene?
Igama lam lihlala linyeliswa ngabangakholwayo, utsho uYehova. Yeha umntu owenza ukuba igama lam lihlanjelwe! Kutheni igama leNkosi linyeliswa? Kungenxa yokuba sithetha enye into size senze enye. Xa besiva amazwi kaThixo emilebeni yethu, abangakholwayo bayamangaliswa bubuhle namandla abo, kodwa xa bebona ukuba loo mazwi akanampembelelo kubomi bethu, ukunconywa kwabo kujika kube kukugculelwa, kwaye bayawayeka amazwi anje ngeentsomi neentsomi.. -Kusuka kwikhaya elabhalwa ngenkulungwane yesibini, Imini yeeYure, IVol. IV, iphe. 521
Kukuhlanjululwa kwenyama yethu yonke imihla, ukulinywa kweentliziyo zethu ezinamatye ukuze Uthando lwaKhe luvele kuzo-yile nto umhlaba ulangazelela ukuyingcamla ubone: UYesu uhlala kum. Emva koko ukushumayela kwam, i-webcasts yam, iincwadi zam, iinkqubo zam, iingoma zam, iimfundiso zam, ukubhala kwam, iileta zam, amagama am athatha amandla amatsha-amandla kaMoya oyiNgcwele. Kwaye ngaphezulu kwalonto-kwaye nantsi ke umyalezo-ukuba injongo yam kukuncama ubomi bam ndenzela abanye umzuzu ngamnye, ndikhonza kwaye ndinika kwaye ndikhulisa ukuzincama, ngoko xa kufika izilingo neembandezelo, andizukuwa kuba “Nxiba ingqondo kaKristu,” sele ndiwuthwele emagxeni umnqamlezo wokubandezeleka. Intliziyo yam ibe yinyama yenyama, ngumhlaba olungileyo. Imbewu encinci yomonde nokunyamezela ayinike ngomthandazo, ukufunda, njl.njl mhlaba wothando, kwaye njalo, ilanga elikhanyayo lesilingo aliyi kubagqatsa kwaye abayi kuqhutywa ngumoya wezilingo.
Uthando luthwala zonke izinto… (1 Kor 13: 7)
Lo ngumsebenzi obekwe phambi kwam, phambi kwethu sonke:
Ngoko ke ekubeni uKristu eve ubunzima esenyameni, xhobani nani kwaloo ngcingane; kaThixo. (1 Pet 4: 1-2)
Esi simo sengqondo ukuthanda ukuzincama, yile nto yaphula umnqophiso wethu wesono kunye nesono! Yile "ngqondo kaKristu" eyoyisa izilingo kunye nezilingo kunenye indlela. Ewe, uthando lukholelwa ekusebenzeni.
Uloyiso oloyisa umhlaba lukholo lwethu. (1 Yoh 5: 4)
UQHELISELO AND UMSEBENZI
Ayinakuba ngumthandazo uwedwa, ukucinga ngaphandle kwentshukumo. Aba babini kufuneka babe utshatile: ukuthanda iNkosi uThixo wakho kwaye ummelwane wakho. Xa umthandazo kunye nesenzo sitshatile, bazala uThixo. Olu ke luhlobo lokwenyani lokuzalwa: kuba uYesu utyalwe emphefumlweni, wondliwe ngomthandazo nangesakramente, emva koko ngokunikela ngenyameko nokuzincama kwam, uyaqhubeka inyama. Inyama yam.
… Sihlala sithwele emzimbeni kaYesu ukufa kwakhe, ukuze nobomi bukaYesu bubonakalaliselwe emzimbeni wethu. (2 Kor. 4:10)
Ngubani ongumzekelo ongcono woku ngaphandle kukaMariya, njengoko kubonisiwe kwiiMfihlelo eziVuyayo zeRosari? Wamitha uKristu ngo "fiat" wakhe. Wayecamngca ngaye apho esibelekweni sakhe. Kodwa akuphelelanga apho. Ngaphandle kwezidingo zakhe, wawela ilizwe lakwaYuda esiya kunceda umzala wakhe uElizabhete. Isisa. Kwezi mfihlelo zimbini zokuqala sonwabile sibona umtshato ka ukucamngca kwaye nyathelo. Kwaye le manyano ivelise iMfihlakalo yesiThathu evuyayo: ukuzalwa kukaYesu.
UKUFELA
UYesu ubiza iBandla laKhe ukuba lilungiselele ukufela ukholo. Ingaphezulu kwayo yonke into, kwaye kuninzi, a mhlophe ukufela ukholo. Lixesha… Owu Thixo, lixesha lokuba phila.
Nge-11 kaNovemba ka-2010, umhla esikhumbula ngawo abo banikela ngobomi babo ngenxa yenkululeko yethu, ndafumana eli lizwi emthandazweni:
Umphefumlo othululweyo, njengoNyana wam waziqongqotha, ungumphefumlo apho imbewu yeLizwi likaThixo inokufumana indawo yokuphumla. Apho, imbewu yemostade inegumbi lokukhula, lokusasaza amasebe ayo, kwaye ke ugcwalise umoya ngevumba lesiqhamo sikaMoya. Ndinqwenela ukuba ube
umphefumlo onjalo, Mntwana wam, lowo uhlala egalela ivumba loNyana wam. Ewe kunjalo, kukuhlakulela inyama, ekumbeni amatye nokhula, apho kukho indawo yokuba iMbewu ifumane indawo yokuphumla. Shiya ilitye lingatshintshiyo, kungekho nokhula olulodwa. Yenza umhlaba utyebe ligazi loNyana wam, elixutywe negazi lakho, elaphalalayo ngokuzincama. Ungoyiki le nkqubo, kuba iyakuthwala esona siqhamo sihle kwaye simnandi. Shiya ilitye elitshisiweyo kwaye kungekho khula lumi. Akukho nto—isifo sikaKenosis—kwaye ndiya kukugcwalisa ngoBuqu bam.
UYesu:
Khumbula, ngaphandle Kwam akukho nto unokuyenza. Umthandazo yindlela owamkela ngayo ubabalo lokuphila ubomi obungaphaya kwendalo. Ukufa kwam, inyama yam ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ukuba ngumntu yayingakwazi ukuzibuyisela ebomini, kodwa njengoThixo, ndakwazi ukoyisa ukufa ndavuselwa ebomini obutsha. Ngokunjalo nasenyameni yakho, yonke into onokuyenza kukufa-uzife. Kodwa amandla oMoya akuwe, owanikwa kuwe ngeSakramente nomthandazo, aya kukuphakamisela kubomi obutsha. Kodwa kumele ukuba kukho into efileyo eza kuvuswa, Mntwana wam! Ke, uthando lilawulo lobomi, ukuzinikela okupheleleyo ukuze ubuNtsha oMtsha bubuyiselwe.
QALISA KWAKHONA
Ndandisele ndiza kuyishiya icawe xa, iNkosi ngenceba yayo (ngoko ke andizukuphelelwa lithemba), yandikhumbuza ngala mazwi amangalisayo ethemba:
Uthando lugubungela inkitha yezono. (1 Petros 4: 8)
Masingajongi phezu kwekhuba emhlabeni ukuzithanda kwethu kushiye kungaguqukanga kwaye kunamatye. Kodwa ukuseta ngamehlo kumzuzu wangoku, qalisa kwakhona. Akukaze kulunge kakhulu ukuba ube ngcwele kuYesu ukuba nje unomoya kwimiphunga yakho kunye nelizwi elulwimini lwakho: i-fiat.
Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Ngaphandle kokuba ukhozo lwengqolowa luwele emhlabeni luze lufe, luhlala lukhozo nje; ke ukuba luthe lwafa, luthwala isiqhamo esininzi… Wanga uKristu angahlala ezintliziyweni zenu ngokholo, ukuze nendele nizimaseke eluthandweni… (Efe.3: 17)
KUFUNDWA NGOKUBA:
