Kukho ifestile encinci yelanga apha eNtshona Canada apho ifama yethu incinci ikhoyo. Kwaye yifama exakekileyo yiyo! Kutshanje songeze iinkukhu kwinkomo yethu yobisi nembewu kwigadi yethu, nanjengoko mna nomfazi wam nabantwana bethu abasibhozo besenza konke okusemandleni ukuze sikwazi ukuzimela kweli hlabathi lixabisayo. Imelwe kukuna yonke impela-veki, kwaye ke ndizama ukubiyela edlelweni ngelixesha sinako. Kananjalo, khange ndibenalo ixesha lokubhala nantoni na entsha okanye ndenze i-webcast entsha kule veki. Nangona kunjalo, iNkosi iyaqhubeka nokuthetha entliziyweni yam ngenceba yayo enkulu. Apha ngezantsi kukho ukucamngca endikubhalileyo malunga nexesha elifanayo Ummangaliso Wenceba, ipapashwe ekuqaleni kwale veki. Kwabo bahlala kuloo ndawo ibuhlungu kunye neentloni ngenxa yesono sakho, ndincoma ukubhala oku kungezantsi kunye nolunye lwezinto endizithandayo, Igama elinye, enokufumaneka kuFundo oluDibeneyo ekupheleni kokucamngca. Njengoko besenditshilo ngaphambili, endaweni yokundinika into entsha ukuba ndiyibhale, iNkosi ihlala indikhuthaza ukuba ndiphinde ndiyibhale into ebhalwe ngaphambili. Iyandimangalisa indlela endifumana ngayo iileta ngalo maxesha… ngokungathi ukubhala kwakulungiselelwe ngaphambili moreso walomzuzu.
Oku kulandelayo kwapapashwa okokuqala nge-21 kaNovemba ka-2006.
NDA andifundanga kufundwa kweMisa ngoMvulo kude kube semva kokubhalwa Icandelo I kolu ngcelele. Kokubini ukuFunda kokuQala kunye neVangeli ngokuqinisekileyo sisipili sento endiyibhalileyo kwiCandelo I…
UKULAHLEKA IXESHA NOTHANDO
Ukufundwa kokuqala kuthi:
Isityhilelo sikaYesu Kristu, awamnika sona uThixo, ukuba abonise abakhonzi bakhe izinto ezimele ukubakho kamsinya… banoyolo abo basivayo isiprofeto esi, bagcine okubhaliweyo kuso; kuba ixesha elikufuphi likufuphi. (Izityhilelo 1: 1, 3)
Ukufundwa kuqhubeka ukuthetha malunga nezinto ezilungileyo ezifezekiswe yiCawe: imisebenzi yayo elungileyo, unyamezelo lwayo, imfundiso yayo yokuziphatha, ukukhusela inyaniso, kunye nokunyamezela. Kodwa uYesu ulumkisa ukuba eyona nto ibalulekileyo ilahlekile: uthando.
… Ulahlekelwe luthando owawunalo ekuqaleni. Qaphela ukuba uwe kude kangakanani. (Izityhilelo 2: 5)
Ndiyakholelwa ukuba ayizenzekeli ukuba incwadi yokuqala kaPapa Benedict yayiyiyo UDeus Caritas Est: "Uthixo Luthando". Kwaye uthando, ngakumbi uthando lukaKristu, luye lwaba ngumxholo wobupapa bakhe ukususela ngoko. Ukuhlangana kwam noPopu kwiiveki ezintathu ezidlulileyo, ndabona kwaye ndaluva olu thando emehlweni akhe.
Ukufunda kuyaqhubeka:
Guquka, kwaye wenze imisebenzi owawenza ekuqaleni. Kungenjalo, ndiya kuza kuwe ndize ndisuse isiphatho sezibane sakho endaweni yaso, ngaphandle kokuba uyaguquka. (Ibid.)
IXESHA ELIMISWEYO LISondele
Kungenxa yothando lwakhe kuthi awathi uPopu Benedict wasilumkisa, esithi ukwala uthando, olunguThixo, kukwala inkokhelo yakhe phezu kwethu.
Isoyikiso somgwebo sikwasichaphazela, iBandla laseYurophu, iYurophu kunye neNtshona ngokubanzi… INkosi iyakhala nasezindlebeni zethu… "Ukuba awuguquki ndiza kuza kuwe ndisuse isiphatho sesibane sakho endaweni yaso." Ukukhanya kungasuswa kuthi kwaye senza kakuhle ukuvumela esi silumkiso siphume kunye nokuzimisela okupheleleyo ezintliziyweni zethu, ngelixa sikhala eNkosini: "Sincede siguquke!" -Upopu Benedict XVI, Ukuvula iHomily, Isinodi yoBhishophu, Okthobha 2, 2005, eRoma.
Ayisiyongozi. Ngu ithuba.
INCEBA IDLULA NGAYO
IVangeli isixelela ukuba njengokuba uYesu esondela eYeriko, indoda eyimfama ehleli endleleni ingqiba ibuza ukuba kwenzeka ntoni.
Bayixelela ke ukuba kudlula uYesu waseNazarete. (ULuka 18: 35-43)
Umngqibi ngequbuliso uyaqonda ukuba unemizuzwana nje yokufumana ingqalelo kuYesu ngaphambi kokuba kuhlwe. Kwaye ke uyakhwaza:
Yesu, Nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba!
Mamela! UYesu uyadlula ngakuwe. Ukuba umfanyekiswe sisono, ebumnyameni beentlungu, uxinana nokuzisola, kwaye ubonakala ngathi ulahliwe ngabo bonke ecaleni kwendlela yobomi… Kudlula uYesu! Khala ngentliziyo yakho yonke:
Yesu, Nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba!
Kwaye uYesu, oshiye iigusha ezingamashumi alithoba anesithoba akhangele imvu enye elahlekileyo, uyakuma eze kuwe. Nokuba ungubani na, nokuba ungaboni, nokuba uneentliziyo ezilukhuni, nokuba ukhohlakele kangakanani, Uyakuza kuwe. Uyakukubuza umbuzo omnye awubuze imfama eyayingqiba:
Ufuna ndikwenzele ntoni?
Hayi, uYesu akabuzi ukuba zeziphi izono ozenzileyo, zeziphi izinto ezimbi ozenzileyo, kutheni ungakhange uye eCaweni, okanye kutheni unokuba nobuganga bokubiza igama lakhe. Endaweni yoko, ujonge ngothando lwakho, ade athi cwaka uMtyholi, athi,
Ufuna ndikwenzele ntoni?
Eli asiloxesha lokuzichaza. Ayiloxesha lokuzithethelela kwaye uthethelele ngezenzo zakho. Lixesha lokuba uphendule ngokulula. Kwaye ukuba ulahlekelwe ngamazwi, ke uboleke amazwi omngqibi:
Nkosi, ndicela undibonise.
Ewe, uYesu. Makhe ndibubone ubuso bakho. Makhe ndibone uthando lwakho nenceba yakho. Makhe ndibone ukuKhanya kwehlabathi ukuze bonke ubumnyama obungaphakathi kwam buchithakale ngephanyazo!
UYesu akayivavanyi impendulo yomngqibi. Akalinganisi ukuba kuninzi kakhulu ukucela, okanye kucace kakhulu isicelo, nokuba ngaba umngqibi ufanelekile okanye cha. Hayi, umngqibi Uphendule ngeli xesha lobabalo. Ke uYesu uyamphendula,
Bona; ukholo lwakho lukusindisile.
Owu mhlobo wam, sonke singqiba, noKrestu uyasondela kuye ngamnye wethu. Kucacile ukuba imeko yethu yentlupheko yokomoya ayijiki, kodwa itsala uvelwano lweKumkani. Ukuba umngqibi wathi ukungaboni kwakhe yayingelotyala lakhe kwaye ukungqiba yayingekuko ukuzikhethela kwakhe, uYesu ngewayemshiye apho eluthulini lwekratshi lakhe- -ukuba nekratshi, ukwazi nokuqonda, kuthintele ubabalo uThixo afuna ukusinika lona . Okanye ukuba umngqibi uthe cwaka esithi "Andikufanelanga ukuthetha nale Ndoda," ngewayesehleli eyimfama kwaye ethe cwaka ngonaphakade. Kuba xa uKumkani ebonelela ngesipho t
Isicaka sakhe, impendulo echanekileyo kukufumana isipho ngaphakathi thobeka kunye nokubuyisa isenzo nge uthando.
Wabona kwaoko, wamlandela, ezukisa uThixo;
UYesu uya kuvula amehlo akho ukuba umemele kuye, kwaye isikali sobumfama bokomoya kunye nenkohliso ziya kuwa njengoko zenzayo ngamehlo kaPaul Paul. Kodwa ke, kufuneka uvuke! Sukuma kwindlela yakho endala yobomi kwaye ushiye ngasemva indebe yakho yethini yobubi kunye nebhedi emdaka yesono, umlandele.
Ewe mlandele, kwaye uyakufumana kwakhona olo thando ulahlekileyo.
… Kuyakubakho uvuyo emazulwini ngomoni eba mnye oguqukayo kunamashumi asithoba anesithoba amalungisa angadingi nguquko. (Luka 15: 7)
KUFUNDWA NGOKUBA:

Ukulungele kangakanani uThixo ukuxolela nokusisindisa? Kwi Igama elinye
-
Ummangaliso Wenceba: ubungqina bothando xa konke kwabonakala kulahlekile.
