Ngokunyamezela kwenu, noyigcina imiphefumlo yenu.
(Luka 21: 19)
A ileta evela kumfundi...
Ndiyibukele nje ividiyo yakho noDaniel O'Connor. Kutheni uThixo eyilibazisa inceba yakhe nobulungisa bakhe?! Siphila kumaxesha amabi ngakumbi kunangaphambi komkhukula omkhulu naseSodom naseGomora. Isilumkiso esikhulu sinokubonakala "sishukumisa" ihlabathi kwaye sibangele ukuguqulwa okukhulu. Kutheni le nto siqhubeka siphila ebubini nasebumnyameni obungaka kweli hlabathi, apho amakholwa angenakukwazi ukuma kwakhona?! U-AWOL uThixo [“uhambe ngaphandle kwemvume”] yaye usathana ubulala amakholwa mihla le, yaye uhlaselo alupheli… Ndilahlekelwe lithemba kwicebo lakhe.
Ubizo Lokunyamezela
Amaxesha ethu eneneni ebeya kubonakala emabi ngakumbi kunaso nasiphi na esinye isizukulwana esingaphambi kwethu. Ubuncinci, yiloo nto iZulu libonakala liyicinga:
Lishiye ihlabathi, nikhonze uYehova ngokuthembeka. Niphila kwixesha elibi kunexesha loMkhukula, yaye lifikile ixesha lokubuya kwenu. Sukusonga iingalo zakho. Phethukela kuLowo uyiNdlela yakho, iNyaniso noBomi. -UMama wethu kuPedro Regis, Oktobha 2, 2021
Apho ukwanayo nempendulo yethu ekufuneka ibe yiyo: sukusonga iingalo zakho… sukujula itawuli… unganikezeli… kodwa buyela kuYesu, uPawulos athi “uyinkokeli nomgqibelelisi wokholo.” Ngapha koko, eso sibhalo siphela sifanelekile kule ngxoxo:
Ngoko ke, sínelifu elingakanana nje elisingqongileyo lamangqina, masithi, siwukhwebule kuwo wonke umthwalo nesono esisinamatheleyo, sizingise ekubalekeni ugqatso oluphambi kwethu, sikhangele kuYesu, inkokeli nomgqibelelisi wosindiso. ukholo. Ngenxa yovuyo olwalukho phambi kwakhe, wawunyamezela umnqamlezo, elidelile ihlazo lawo, waza wahlala ewongeni kwitrone kaThixo. (Heb 12: 1-2)
Imbali yeCawa iqatywe ngegazi labafeli-nkolo kunye nemiphefumlo emininzi eyathi ngenkalipho yabandezeleka ngenxa kaKristu. Okubaluleke ngakumbi kunombingelelo abawunikelayo bubungqina bawo njani 
banikela ngayo: ngokuzithandela, ngaphandle kokubala iindleko, ngaphandle kokujonga ngasemva phezu kwekhuba. Ngaloo ndlela, kwabakho ukutshintshiselana ngentando yawo yobuntu, intuthuzelo nonqabiseko, ngovuyo noxolo olungaphezu kwendalo. Kungenxa yokuba bawagcina amehlo abo kuYesu ngobomi bomthandazo onzulu kunye nokuthembeka ukuba bafumana amandla okunyamezela kwizinto ezingenakwenzeka.
Umthandazo uhambela kubabalo esilufunayo… -I-CCC, n.2010
Ukuba siqalisa ukuphelelwa lithemba, ngaba kusenokwenzeka ukuba siyekile ukuthandaza kuqala?
Qwalaselani ukunyamezeleka kwakhe ukumchasa okungaka kwaboni, ukuze ningadinwa, ningatyhafi. Kumzabalazo wenu nxamnye nesono, anikachasani ukusa kwinqanaba lokuphalaza igazi. (iv. 3)
Phambi kokusasazwa kwethu kwiwebhu, mna noDaniel besixoxa ngokuba bangaphi ababongoza ukuba “iSilumkiso” size nokuba uThixo angenelele. Kodwa khawuqwalasele oko amaKristu akunyamezeleyo ukutyhubela iinkulungwane kwanakutshanje, njengakwiRashiya yobuKomanisi, eTshayina nakuMntla Korea; oko amaKristu ahluphekayo ngoku eNigeria nakwezinye iindawo apho ubuKristu bubekelwe bucala. Ngamafutshane, uninzi lwethu alukaxhathisi ukusa kwinqanaba lokuphalaza igazi—kungekhona nokuvala.
Ewe, sifuna ububi esibubona buqhuma kwihlabathi liphela, kwaye kukho into entle nebalaseleyo apho:
Banoyolo abalambela banxanelwe ubulungisa; ngokuba baya kwaneliswa bona. (UMateyu 5: 6)
Kwangaxeshanye, iSibhalo sisixelela ukuba eyona nto iphambili kuBawo wethu waseZulwini kukusindisa imiphefumlo, hayi intuthuzelo yethu:
INkosi ayilibali idinga layo, njengoko abanye becinga “ukulibazisa,” kodwa inomonde kuni, inganqweneli ukuba kutshabalale nabani na kodwa ukuba bonke beze enguqukweni. (2 Peter 3: 9)
NjengamaKristu, kufuneka siwenze lo msebenzi wethu - hayi izicwangciso zethu zomhlala-phantsi, njengoko ziyimfuneko.
UKristu akazange athembise ubomi obulula. Abo banqwenela ukuthuthuzelwa batsalele inombolo engeyiyo. Endaweni yoko usibonisa indlela eya kwizinto ezinkulu, ezilungileyo, kubomi bobunyani. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Idilesi yeePilgrim zaseJamani, ngoAprili 25, 2005
Siphila kwiyure apho iindawo ezininzi zeCawa zixakeke ngayo nantoni na ngaphandle kosindiso lwemiphefumlo, ngakumbi apha kuMntla Melika. Siphila phakathi kokuvunwa okukhulu koko sikuhlwayeleyo ngokudibeneyo. Ngaba siyamangaliswa ukuba isilingo somlilo singene kwiindawo esihlala kuzo, kwiintsapho, emitshatweni nakwimiphefumlo yethu?
Senilulibele nokhuthazo olubhekiswa kuni njengoonyana: “Nyana wam, musa ukukucekisa ukuqeqesha kweNkosi, okanye ungatyhafi wakohlwaywa yiyo; kuba lowo imthandayo iNkosi iyamqeqesha; Ubatyakatya bonke oonyana abathabathileyo. (Heb 12: 5-7)
Uqhwithela olukhulu
Usapho lwam lujongene nezilingo ezinzima ngoku. Kubonakala ngathi izinto ziya zisiba mbi ngakumbi xa ndibongoza uThixo ukuba andincede! Isihendo kukumbeka ityala okanye ngenene ukumbeka ityala lokuhamba 
AWOL. Endaweni yoko, ndiyabona ukuba ezi zilingo, ukuba siyazivumela, zingunobangela wokuzihlolisisa kunye nokuthobeka okunzulu kunye nokuthembela. Ngapha koko, uYesu wamisela oku emnqamlezweni xa wadanduluka wathi, Thixo wam, Thixo wam, undishiye ngani na? ... kodwa kulandele, “Bawo, ndiyawunikela ezandleni zakho umoya wam.”
Ndifuna ukukushiya nesibongozo sikaYesu ngezityhilelo ezivunyiweyo eziya ku-Elizabeth Kindelmann. Akenzi mathambo ngayo: “Isiqhwithi Esikhulu” asiyi kunyanyezelwa ngabangasebenziyo abangcwaba italente yabo emhlabeni, okanye yintombi enyulu engenaoli esibaneni sayo, okanye ngomphefumlo olivila oxhalabele ngakumbi ukulungiselela kunokuthandaza.
Isaqhwithi esikhulu siyeza kwaye siya kuthwala imiphefumlo engakhathaliyo egqitywe bubuvila. Ingozi enkulu iya kugqabhuka xa ndisusa isandla sam sokhuseleko. Lumkisa wonke umntu, ngakumbi ababingeleli, ukuze bashukunyiswe kukungakhathali… Musani ukuthanda intuthuzelo. Musani ukuba ngamagwala. Musa ukulinda. Jongana neNkanyamba ukuze usindise imiphefumlo. Zinikeleni emsebenzini. Ukuba awenzi nto, uwuyekela umhlaba kuSathana kwaye wone. Vula amehlo akho kwaye ubone zonke iingozi ezibanga amaxhoba kwaye zisongela imiphefumlo yakho. —UYesu kuElizabhete, Idangatye Lothando, iphe. 62, 77, 34; Uhlobo loHlelo; nangemvume Ngu-Archbishop Charles Chaput wase-Philadelphia, PA
Eli lityala ebesilungiselela lona iNenekazi lethu; esi siSitshingitshane esaxelwa kwangaphambili esibangela ukwehla ngoku. Ewe, mhlawumbi sisonke sinetyala ngokuwohloka kokuziphatha okusijikelezileyo, ekubeni siwushiyile umhlaba kuSathana kunye nesono ngelixa sizingcwaba ngokungakhathali nokuthuthuzeleka. I bume bento ibikukufa kwamarhamente ethu kwaye ngoku uninzi lwazo alunanto okanye luvala.
… Akukho ndlela ilula yokuyithetha. Icawe eMelika iwenzile umsebenzi ombi wokudala ukholo kunye nesazela samaKatolika ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-40. Kwaye ngoku sivuna iziphumo-kwindawo kawonke-wonke, kwiintsapho zethu nakwisiphithiphithi sobomi bethu. -Ubhishophu omkhulu uCharles J. Chaput, OFM Cap., Ukunikezela kuKesare: Ubizo lwezopolitiko lwamaKatolika, NgoFebruwari 23, 2009, eToronto, eCanada
Andikwazi ukukuthethela, kodwa ndiyazi ukuba ndiphazamiseka ngokulula, nditsaleleka ngokulula kwezinye iindawo apho ixesha namandla anokuchithwa. Alikho ixesha elininzi eliseleyo lokulungisa izindlu zethu, okwangoku - kwaye okwangoku! - kusekho namhlanje. Kusekho abantu esinokubathanda kwaye sibaphembelele ngobukho bethu kunye nencoko yethu, ngobungqina bethu kunye nokunyaniseka. Bazalwana noodade bam, isiphithiphithi, intshabalalo nobubi ziya kuba mbi ngakumbi; “Ububi buya kuzidla”, uYesu waxelela uMkhonzi kaThixo uLuisa Piccarreta. Ngoxa kusempilweni ukuyiqonda “imiqondiso yamaxesha,” kutheni uzimisele ukuyijonga nje? Umtyholi wenza umdaniso wakhe wokugqibela, kodwa asinyanzelekanga ukuba siwubukele. Endaweni yoko, “wamilisele amehlo akho kuYesu inkokeli nomgqibelelisi wokholo”… kubukho bakhe kwenye, kuthando lwakhe oluthe gqolo olubonakaliswa kwindalo, nangobulula kodwa isipho esinzulu soMthendeleko. Ngapha koko, ngaba uMamkeli-zindwendwe akabobungqina bubonakalayo bokuba uYesu akangoAWOL?
Niyabona, mna ndinani yonke imihla, kude kube sekuphelisweni kwephakade eli; zigqaleni njengovuyo olukhulu, bazalwana bam, xa nijamelene nezilingo ngezilingo, nisazi nje ukuba ucikido lokholo lwenu lusebenza unyamezelo. Umonde ke mawube ngabazalisekileyo, ukuze nibe ngabazalisekileyo, abagqibeleleyo, ningaswele nto... ( Mateyu 28:20; Yakobi 1:2-4 )
ndiyeza ngokukhawuleza. Kubambe ngokuqinileyo koko unako, ukuze kungabikho bani usithabathayo isithsaba sakho. (ISityhilelo 3: 11)
Ndinqwenela ukumema abantu abatsha ukuba bavule iintliziyo zabo kwiVangeli kwaye babe ngamangqina kaKristu; ukuba kunyanzelekile, Lakhe bafela ukholo, ekungeneni kwewaka leminyaka lesithathu. —ST. UJOHN PAUL II kulutsha, eSpain, ngo-1989
