Inhliziyo Engcwele, nguLea Mallett
NGAPHAMBI iSakramente elibusisiwe, ngezwa:
Yeka indlela engifisa ngayo ukubona inhliziyo yakho igqamuka ilangabi! Kepha inhliziyo yakho kumele izimisele ukuthanda njengoba ngithanda. Uma umncane, ugwema ukuthintana naye emehlweni, noma ukuhlangana nalowo, uthando lwakho luyathandwa. Akulona neze uthando, ngoba umusa wakho kwabanye ekugcineni uzithanda wena.
Cha, Ngane yami, uthando lusho ukuzikhandla, ngisho nasezitheni zakho. Ngabe lesi akusona isilinganiso sothando engisibonisile esiphambanweni? Ngithathe isishayo kuphela, noma ameva — noma uThando uzikhandle ngokuphelele? Lapho uthando lwakho ngomunye lubethelwa esiphambanweni; lapho kukugoba; lapho livutha njengesishayo, lapho likubhoboza njengameva, lapho likushiya usengozini — ngakho-ke, usuqale ukuthanda ngokweqiniso.
Ungangiceli ukuthi ngikususe kulesi simo okuso njengamanje. Kuyisikole sothando. Funda ukuthanda lapha, futhi uzobe usukulungele ukuthola iziqu ekupheleleni kothando. Vumela Inhliziyo Yami Engcwele ebhoboziwe ibe ngumhlahlandlela wakho, ukuze nawe uqhume ube yilangabi eliphilayo lothando. Okokuzithanda kuvusa uthando lwaphezulu ngaphakathi kuwe, futhi kuguqule inhliziyo ibande.
Ngemuva kwalokho ngaholwa kulo mBhalo:
Njengoba senizihlambululile ngokulalela iqiniso ngothando oluqotho, thandanani kakhulu ngokusuka enhliziyweni emsulwa. (1 Petru 1:22)
AMALANGABI OKUPHILA OTHANDO
Sikulezo zinsuku lapho:
… Ngenxa yokwanda kokwenza okubi, uthando lwabaningi luzophola. (Math 24:12)
Ikhambi lale nkinga ebandayo akuzona ezinye izinhlelo.
HAbantu abodwa bodwa bangasivuselela ubuntu. —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, Umlayezo oya eNtsha Yomhlaba, Usuku Lomhlaba Lwentsha; n. 7; ICologne Germany, 2005
"Uhlelo" luzoba yi- lilangabi lothando!—Umphefumulo obasa imililo ezinhliziyweni zabanye ngoba ubezimisele ngokuthatha isiphambano sakhe, aziphike, futhi alandele ezinyathelweni zePassion yeNkosi yethu. Umphefumulo onjalo uba Ukuphila Kahle yothando ngoba akusenguye ophilayo (ngentando yakhe), kepha nguJesu ophila ngaye.
Siyini isiphambano sakho? Ubuthakathaka, ukucasuka, okudingayo, kanye nokukhungatheka abantu abaseduze kwakho abakulethela khona usuku nosuku. Lokhu kwakha isiphambano okufanele ulale kuso. Izenzo zabo ezihlukumezayo yisiswebhu eside esishaya, amazwi abo ngameva ahlabayo, ukungazinaki kwabo izipikili ezihlaba. Futhi i-lance ukuthi amanxeba ukubonakala engekho kukaNkulunkulu ukukukhulula kukho konke: "Ungishiyelani?"Ngaleso sikhathi, ukulingwa kubonakala kungenangqondo futhi kungubuwula bokukubekezelela. Ngempela, iSiphambano siwubuwula emhlabeni, kodwa kulabo abasamukelayo, ukuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu. Kulowo okhuthazelayo, ukuvuka komusa imifudlana phambili, futhi ingaguqula umhlaba okuzungezile.
Maye, sivame kakhulu ukufana nabaPhostoli engadini yaseGetsemane. KwakunguJesu owabanjwa ngenkani — nokho kwaba ngabaPhostoli ababaleka ngesibonakaliso sokuqala sosizi! O Nkosi, yiba nesihawu… Ngibona umphefumulo wami kubo. Nginganqoba kanjani umuzwa wami wokubalekela ukuhlupheka?
UKUSHAYA KWENHLIZIYO YOTHANDO
Impendulo ilele ngqo kulowo owenze kanjalo hhayi balekela — Umphostoli uJohane othandekayo. Mhlawumbe wagijima ekuqaleni, kodwa simthola kamuva emi ngesibindi ngaphansi kweSiphambano. Kanjani?
Omunye wabafundi bakhe, uJesu ayemthanda, wayelele eduze kwesifuba sikaJesu. (Johane 13:23)
UJohn akazange abaleke ngoba wayelalele ukushaya kwenhliziyo kukaJesu. Wafunda e-Divine Breast the ikharikhulamu wesikole sothando: Isihe. Umfundi uJohn wezwa kunanela ngaphakathi komphefumulo wakhe ikusasa elikhulu labo bonke abadalwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu: uku bonisa isihe seNkosi uqobo. Ngakho-ke, uMphostoli othandekayo akazange akhombe ngenkemba kunogada wompristi omkhulu. Esikhundleni salokho, ukuba khona kwakhe ngaphansi kweSiphambano kwaba isenzo sokuqala somusa weSonto, ukududuza iNkosi Yakhe eyayishayiwe futhi ilahliwe, eceleni kukaMama. KaJohn uqobo com-uthando uphuma esikoleni afundiswa kuso.
Yebo, kunezingxenye ezimbili kulesi sikole — ulwazi nokusetshenziswa kwalo. Umthandazo ideski lapho sifunda khona ikharikhulamu, kanti iSiphambano yilabhorethri lapho sisebenzisa khona lokho esikufundile. UJesu ulingise lokhu eGetsemane. Lapho, waguqa ngamadolo akhe, etafuleni lomkhuleko, uJesu wancika enhliziyweni kaYise futhi wanxusa ukuthi inkomishi yokuhlupheka ihoxiswe. UBaba waphendula wathi:
Isihe…
Ngalokho-ke, uMsindisi wethu wasukuma, futhi kwaba njalo, wazinikela e-laboratory yokuhlupheka, isikole sothando.
NGAMANXEBA ETHU.
Ngemuva kokuthola lowo mBhalo ku-1 Peter, ngezwa igama elilodwa lokugcina:
Ngokusebenzisa yakho amanxeba, lapho ehlangene neMine, abaningi bazothola ukuphola.
Kanjani? Ngokusebenzisa i- ubufakazi. Ubufakazi bethu buveza kwabanye amanxeba nezimpawu zesipikili esazithwala ngenxa kaKristu. Uma ubabekezelele ngokuzithandela, ungena ebumnyameni bethuna, khona-ke nawe uzophuma unamanxeba afana neNkosi yethu okuthi manje, esikhundleni sokopha, kukhanye ngokukhanya kweqiniso namandla. Abanye-ke bangathi, ngobufakazi bakho, bafake iminwe yabo engabazekayo ohlangothini lwakho olugwazwe, futhi njengoTomas, bakhala bathi, "Nkosi yami noNkulunkulu wami!"njengoba bethola uJesu ehlala kuwe, evutha futhi egxumela ezinhliziyweni zabo njengo ilangabi eliphilayo lothando.
Ukusuka lapha kumele kuphume 'inhlansi ezolungiselela umhlaba ukufika [kukaJesu] okokugcina (IDayari kaSt. Faustina, 1732). Le nhlansi idinga ukukhanyiswa ngomusa kaNkulunkulu. Lo mlilo womusa udinga ukudluliselwa emhlabeni. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Ukunikezelwa kwe-Divine Mercy Basilica, eCracow Poland, ngo-2002.
Banqoba [ummangaleli wabazalwane] ngegazi leWundlu nangezwi lobufakazi babo; ukuthanda impilo akuzange kubavimbe ekufeni. (IsAm 12:11)
Manje ngiyathokoza ezinhluphekweni zami ngenxa yakho, futhi enyameni yami ngigcwalisa okusilele ezinhluphekweni zikaKristu egameni lomzimba wakhe, okuyisonto .. (Col 1:24)
Umhlaba ubethelwe kimi, nami ngibethelwe emhlabeni. (Gal 6:14)
Si ... njalo sithwala emzimbeni ukufa kukaJesu, ukuze impilo kaJesu ibonakale nasemizimbeni yethu. (2 Kor 4: 8-10)
