NGINGU inhloko engokomoya yomkami nezingane. Ngenkathi ngithi, “ngiyakwenza,” ngangena eSakrameni lapho ngathembisa khona ukuthanda nokuhlonipha umkami kuze kube sekufeni. Ukuthi ngizokhulisa izingane uNkulunkulu angasinikeza zona ngokukholwa. Le yindima yami, kungumsebenzi wami. Kuyindaba yokuqala engizokwahlulelwa ngayo ekupheleni kwempilo yami, ukuthi ngabe ngiyithande noma cha iNkosi uNkulunkulu wami ngayo yonke inhliziyo yami, umphefumulo namandla.
Kepha iningi lamadoda licabanga ukuthi umsebenzi wawo ukuletha ubhekeni ekhaya. Ukuziphilisa. Ukulungisa umnyango wangaphambili. Lezi zinto mhlawumbe umsebenzi wesikhashana. Kepha akuwona umgomo wokugcina. [1]qhathanisa Inhliziyo kaNkulunkulu Umsebenzi omkhulu womuntu oshadile ukuhola umkakhe nezingane angene eMbusweni ngobuholi nangesibonelo sakhe. Ngoba, njengoba uJesu esho:
Zonke lezi zinto ezifunwa ngabahedeni. UYihlo osezulwini uyazi ukuthi niyazidinga zonke. Kodwa funani kuqala umbuso kaNkulunkulu nokulunga kwakhe, khona-ke zonke lezi zinto niyonikwa zona ngaphandle. (Math 6: 30-33)
Lokho wukuthi, amadoda, uNkulunkulu ufuna ubaba wena. He ifuna ukuhlinzekela izidingo zakho. Ufuna wazi ukuthi uqoshwe entendeni yesandla saKhe. Futhi ukuthi yonke imizabalazo nezilingo obhekene nazo azinamandla njengoba umusa Wakhe utholakala emphefumulweni wakho…
… Ngokuba lowo okini mkhulu kunalowo osezweni. (1 Johane 4: 4)
Namathela kulelo gama, mfowethu. Ngezikhathi esiphila kuzo simema abantu ukuba babe nesibindi, bangesabi; abalalelayo, hhayi abathembekile; ukuthandaza, hhayi ukuphazamiseka. Kepha ungesabi noma uhlehle emuva kuleveli obizelwe kuyo:
Nginamandla akho konke ngakho ngalowo ongipha amandla. (Fil 4:13)
Manje yihora lapho uJesu ebiza amadoda abuyele endimeni efanele njengabapristi emakhaya ethu. Ngoba akukaze nangaphambilini umkami nezingane badinge inhloko yezindlu zabo ukuba yindoda yangempela, ukuba yindoda engumKristu. Ngoba, njengoba uFr. UJohn Hardon wabhala, imindeni ejwayelekile ngeke isinde kulezi zikhathi:
Kufanele babe yimindeni engajwayelekile. Kufanele babe, enginganqikazi ukukubiza, imindeni yamaKatolika angamaqhawe. Imindeni ejwayelekile yamaKhatholika ayimelana noDeveli njengoba esebenzisa imithombo yezokuxhumana ukukhathaza umphakathi nokuwususa emphakathini. Awekho amaKatolika angajwayelekile angaphila, ngakho-ke imindeni ejwayelekile yamaKatolika ayinakusinda. Abanakukhetha. Kumele abe ngcwele — okusho ukuthi angcweliswe — noma azonyamalala. Imindeni kuphela yamaKhatholika ezosala iphila futhi ichuma ngekhulu lamashumi amabili nanye yimindeni yabafel 'ukholo. Ubaba, umama nezingane kumele bazimisele ukufela izinkolelo zabo abazinikwe nguNkulunkulu… Okudingwa kakhulu ngumhlaba namuhla yimindeni yabafel 'ukholo, abazozala kabusha emoyeni naphezu kwenzondo yobudlova ebhekene nokuphila komndeni yizitha zikaKristu nezakhe. Isonto esikhathini sethu. -Intombi Ezibusisiwe Nokungcweliswa Kwemindeniy, Inceku kaNkulunkulu, uFr. UJohn A. Hardon, SJ
Ungawuhola kanjani-ke umndeni wakho ukuze ube yi okungavamile umndeni? Kubukeka kanjani lokho? Yebo, uSt. Paul waqhathanisa indoda nomfazi nomshado kaKristu nomlobokazi Wakhe, iSonto. [2]cf. Efe 5:32 UJesu futhi ungumPristi Ophakeme walowo makoti, [3]isib. Heb 4: 14 ngakho-ke, ukuguqula uphawu lukaPawulu, singasebenzisa lobu bupristi bukaJesu futhi kumyeni nobaba. Ngakho…
… Masisuse yonke imithwalo nezono ezisinamathele futhi siphikelele ekugijimeni umjaho ophambi kwethu ngenkathi sigcine amehlo ethu ethe njo kuJesu, umholi nomphelelisi wokholo. (Heb. 12: 1-2)
UKUHLALELA EMVINI
Noma ngabe kwakusengumfana ethempelini, noma ekuqaleni kwenkonzo Yakhe ehlane, noma ngesikhathi senkonzo Yakhe ezixukwini, noma ngaphambi kokuKhathazeka kwakhe, uJesu wayehlala njalo, ephendukela kuYise ngomkhuleko.
Wavuka ekuseni kakhulu ngaphambi kokuntwela kokusa, wahamba waya endaweni eyihlane, lapho athandaza khona. (UMakho 1:35)
Ukuze sibe ngumpristi osebenzayo futhi othela izithelo emizini yethu, kumele sibheke emthonjeni wamandla ethu.
Mina ngingumvini, nina ningamagatsha. Ohlala kimi, nami kuye, uyakuthela izithelo eziningi, ngokuba ngaphandle kwami ningenze lutho. (Johane 15: 5)
Konke kuqala enhliziyweni. Uma inhliziyo yakho ayilungile kuNkulunkulu, khona-ke lonke usuku lwakho lusengozini yokuwela ekuphazamisekeni.
Ngoba enhliziyweni kuvela imicabango emibi, ukubulala, ukuphinga, ubufebe, ukweba, ukufakaza amanga, ukuhlambalaza. (Math 15:19)
Singaba kanjani abaholi bemindeni yethu uma siphuphuthekiswe umoya wezwe? 
Izinhliziyo zethu zilungiswa lapho okwethu izinto ezibalulekile ziyalungiswa, lapho 'sifuna kuqala umbuso kaNkulunkulu.' Okusho ukuthi, kufanele sibe ngamadoda azinikele kuwo umthandazo wansuku zonke, ...
Umkhuleko uyimpilo yenhliziyo entsha. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika, n. 2697
Uma ungathandazi, inhliziyo yakho entsha iyafa — igcwaliswa futhi yakhiwe ngenye into ngaphandle koMoya kaNkulunkulu. Ngeshwa, umthandazo wansuku zonke kanye no ubuhlobo bomuntu noJesu awaziwa kwamanye amadoda amaningi amaKatolika. Asikhathazeki nje ngomkhuleko, ikakhulukazi umthandazo osuka enhliziyweni lapho sikhuluma khona noNkulunkulu njengomngane komunye nomunye. [4]qhathanisa CCC hhayi. 2709 Kepha kufanele sikunqobe lokhu kubekisa futhi senze lokho uJesu asiyala ngakho: "thandaza njalo." [5]isib. Mat 6: 6; ULuka 18: 1 Ngibhale imicabango emifushane ngomthandazo engithemba ukuthi izokusiza ukuthi uyenze ibe yingxenye yosuku lwakho:
Futhi uma ufuna ukungena ujule, thatha ukuhlehla kwami kwezinsuku ezingama-40 emthandazweni lapha, okungenziwa nganoma yisiphi isikhathi sonyaka.
Thatha okungenani imizuzu eyi-15-20 ngosuku ukukhuluma neNkosi ngokusuka enhliziyweni ufunde iZwi likaNkulunkulu, okuyindlela Yakhe yokukhuluma nawe. Ngale ndlela, ukumuncwa kukaMoya oNgcwele kungagobhoza kuKristu uMvini, futhi uzoba nomusa odingekayo wokuqala ukuthela izithelo emndenini wakho nasemsebenzini.
Ngaphandle komkhuleko, inhliziyo yakho entsha iyafa.
Ngakho-ke, thatha izinto ngokungathi sína futhi uzithibe emithandazweni. (1 Pet. 4: 7)
INKONZO ETHOBEKILE
In Ingxenye I, Ngikhulume ngendlela amanye amadoda afisa ukuphatha ngayo kunokukhonza amakhosikazi awo. UJesu wakhombisa enye indlela, indlela yokuthobeka. Ngoba ngisho…
… Yize wayenesimo sikaNkulunkulu, akazange abheke ukulingana noNkulunkulu njengento okumele ayibambe. Kunalokho, wazidela, wathatha isimo sesigqila, eza ngomuntu; futhi wathola umuntu ebukeka, wazithoba, walalela kwaze kwaba sekufeni, yebo, ekufeni esiphambanweni. (Fil 2: 6-8)
Uma singabapristi emakhaya ethu, kufanele silingise ubupristi bukaJesu, obaphetha ngokuthi azinikele njengomhlatshelo wobupristi
.
Ngakho-ke ngiyanincenga, bazalwane, ngobubele bukaNkulunkulu ukuba ninikele imizimba yenu ibe ngumhlatshelo ophilayo, ongcwele, othokozisayo uNkulunkulu, okuyinkonzo yenu yomoya. (Rom 12: 1)
Yilesi sibonelo sothando lokuzidela, lokuzidela oluthonya lethu elinamandla kakhulu ekhaya. Futhi kuyindlela "emincane futhi enzima kakhulu" [6]isib. Mat 7:14 ngoba ifuna ukungabi nabugovu okungandile namuhla.
Izenzo zikhuluma kakhulu kunamazwi; vumela amazwi akho afundise nezenzo zakho zikhulume. —USt. U-Anthony wasePadua, iNtshumayelo, Umbhalo wamahora, Umq. III, ikhasi. 1470
Yiziphi izindlela esingakwenza ngazo lokhu cishe? Singayishintsha inabukeni lengane esikhundleni sokuyishiyela abafazi bethu ukuthi bayenze. Singavala isembozo sendlu yangasese bese sibeka umuthi wokuxubha kude. Singenza umbhede. Singashanela phansi ekhishini futhi sisize ngezitsha. Singavala ithelevishini bese sithatha ezimbalwa zalezo zinto ohlwini lwethu lwezinto okumele zenziwe ngumkethu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, singaphendula ekugxekeni kwakhe ngokuthobeka esikhundleni sokuzivikela; bukela amabhayisikobho angathanda ukuwabuka; lalelisisa kuye kunokumsika; ukunaka izidingo zakhe ezingokomzwelo kunokufuna ngenkani ucansi; ukumthanda esikhundleni sokumsebenzisa. Mphathe ngendlela uKristu asiphathe ngayo.
Wabe esethela amanzi endishini, waqala ukugeza izinyawo zabafundi… (Johane 13: 5)
Lolu wulimi lwakhe lothando mfowethu. Hhayi ulimi lwenkanuko olungolomhlaba. UJesu akazange athi kubaPhostoli, “Manje nginikeze umzimba wakho ngenhloso yami yobungcwele!” kodwa kunalokho…
Thatha udle; lokhu kungumzimba wami. (Math 26:26)
Yeka ukuthi iNkosi yethu iwubhekisa kanjani phansi umbono wanamuhla womshado! Sishadela lokho esingakuthola, kepha uJesu “washada” neBandla ngalokho akwazi ukunikela ngakho.
KUKHULU KUNAMAZWI
Isifingqo sikaSt. Paul of the qualification of umbhishobhi singasebenza kahle kubapristi "besonto lasekhaya":
… Umbhishobhi kumele angabi nakusoleka… abe nesizotha, aziphathe kahle, abe nesizotha, abe nomoya wokungenisa izihambi, akwazi ukufundisa, hhayi isidakwa, hhayi ulaka, kodwa abe mnene, angabi umbango, angabi umthandi wemali. Kufanele aphathe kahle umndeni wakhe, agcine izingane zakhe zilawulwa ngenhlonipho ephelele… (1 Thim 3: 2)
Singazifundisa kanjani izingane zethu ubuhle bokuzithiba uma zibuka 
sidakwe ngempelasonto? Singabafundisa kanjani isizotha uma ngolimi lwethu, izinhlelo esizibukayo, noma amakhalenda esiwalengise egalaji kungudoti? Singalubonisa kanjani kubo uthando lukaNkulunkulu uma sizikhandla futhi sinolaka olusheshayo kunokuba mnene nesineke, sithwale amaphutha amalungu omndeni wethu? Kungumsebenzi wethu – ilungelo lethu, ukufakaza ezinganeni zethu.
Ngomusa wesakramente lomshado, abazali bathola umthwalo kanye nelungelo lokushumayeza izingane zabo. Abazali kufanele baqale izingane zabo zisencane bangene ezimfihlakalweni zokholo okuyizona "ezingabamemezeli bokuqala" bezingane zabo. -CCC, hhayi. 2225
Ungesabi ukucela intethelelo lapho uwe! Uma izingane zakho noma oshade naye behluleka ukubona ubuhle obuboniswa kuwe ngesikhathi esithile, mabangaphumeleli ukubona ukuthobeka kwakho kokulandelayo.
Ukuziqhenya komuntu kubangela ukuthotshiswa kwakhe, kepha onomoya othobekileyo uthola udumo. (IzA 29:23)
Uma silimaze amalungu emindeni yethu, konke akupheli, noma ngabe izono zethu zazisenziwa kudala.
… Ngoba uthando lumboza inqwaba yezono. (1 Pet. 4: 8)
UKUTHANDAZA NOKUFUNDISA KOMKHAYA
UJesu akagcinanga ngokuzinika isikhathi sokuthandaza eyedwa; akagcinanga nje ngokunikela ngokuphila Kwakhe ngenxa yabantwana Bakhe; kodwa wabuye wabafundisa futhi wabahola ngomkhuleko.
Walihamba lonke elaseGalile efundisa emasinagogeni abo, ememezela ivangeli lombuso. (Math 4:23)
Njengoba kushiwo ngenhla, imfundiso yethu kumele ize kuqala ize kuqala Fakaza ezindabeni zansuku zonke zokuphila. Ngikusingatha kanjani ukucindezeleka? Ngibheka kanjani izinto ezibonakalayo? Ngimphatha kanjani umkami?
Umuntu wanamuhla ubalalela ngokuzithandela ofakazi kunothisha, futhi uma ebalalela othisha, kungenxa yokuthi bangofakazi. —I-POPE PAUL VI, Ukushunyayelwa Kwevangeli Emhlabeni Wanamuhla
Kepha senza kahle ukukhumbula isiyalo somprofethi uHoseya:
Abantu bami bayabhubha ngokuswela ulwazi! (Hoseya 4: 6)
Imvamisa, abazali abaningi bacabanga ukuthi kuyindima yompristi wabo noma isikole samaKatolika ukufundisa izingane zabo ukholo. Kodwa-ke, lelo iphutha elibi eliphindaphindwa kaninginingi.
Abazali banesibopho sokuqala semfundo yezingane zabo. Bafakazela lo mthwalo kuqala ngokwakha ikhaya lapho ubumnene, ukuthethelela, inhlonipho, ukwethembeka, kanye nensizakalo engenantshisekelo kungumthetho. Ikhaya liyilungele kahle imfundo ebuhleni…
Abazali banesibopho esikhulu sokunikeza isibonelo esihle ezinganeni zabo. Ngokwazi ukuthi bangavuma kanjani ukwehluleka kwabo ezinganeni zabo, abazali bazokwazi kangcono ukubaqondisa nokubalungisa. -CCC, hhayi. 2223
Cishe uke wayizwa inkulumo ethandwayo ethi, “Umndeni othandaza ndawonye, uhlala ndawonye.” [7]kukhonjwe nguFr. UPatrick Peyton Lokhu kuyiqiniso, kepha hhayi ngokuphelele. Mingaki imindeni ethandaze ndawonye, kepha namhlanje, isenkingeni njengoba izingane zayo sezilahle ukholo ngemuva kokushiya ikhaya. Kunokuningi empilweni yobuKristu kunokungqubuzana nemithandazo embalwa noma ukugijima ngeRosari. Kufanele sifundise izingane zethu okulungile nokungalungile; ukubanika izisekelo zoKholo lwethu lwamaKatolika; ukubafundisa ukuthandaza; indlela yokuthanda, ukuxolela, nokuqonda okubaluleke kakhulu empilweni.
Abazali banomsebenzi wokufundisa izingane zabo ukuthandaza nokuthola ubizo lwabo njengezingane zikaNkulunkulu… Kumele baqiniseke ukuthi ubizo lokuqala lomKrestu ukulandela uJesu ... — CCC. n. 2226, 2232
Noma kunjalo, izingane zethu zinenkululeko yokuzikhethela ngakho-ke zingakhetha umgwaqo “obanzi futhi olula”. Yize kunjalo, esikwenzayo njengobaba kuzoba nomthelela ezimpilweni zabo, noma ukuguqulwa kokuzinikela kwezingane zethu kuza kamuva kakhulu empilweni. Empeleni, lokhu kuhilelani? Akudingeki ukuthi ube yisazi semfundiso yenkolo! Ngenkathi iNkosi yethu ihamba phakathi kwethu, yaxoxa imizekeliso nezindaba. Indodana Yolahleko, umSamariya Omuhle, Abasebenzi Esivinini ... izindaba ezilula ezidlulisa iqiniso elinamandla lokuziphatha nelingcwele. Kanjalo futhi kufanele sikhulume ezingeni eliqondwa yizingane zethu. Noma kunjalo, ngiyazi ukuthi lokhu kuyabethusa abesilisa abaningi.
Ngikhumbula ngidla noMbhishobhi u-Eugene Cooney eminyakeni eminingana edlule. Besikhuluma ngenkinga yokushumayela emindenini nokuthi mangaki amaKhatholika azizwa namuhla ukuthi awondliwa epulpiti. Uphendule wathi, “Angiboni ukuthi noma yimuphi umpristi ochitha isikhathi ethandaza futhi azindla ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu angaqhamuka kanjani nomndeni ozwakalayo ngeSonto.” [8]qhathanisa Ukuhumusha iSambulo Ngalokho sikubona ukubaluleka komthandazo empilweni kababa! Ngomzabalazo wethu, ukwelashwa, ukukhula nokuhamba neNkosi, kukhanyiswe impilo yangaphakathi yomkhuleko, sizokwazi ukuhlanganyela olwethu uhambo ngokuhlakanipha uNkulunkulu asinika kona. Kepha ngaphandle kokuthi useMvinini, lolu hlobo lwesithelo luyoba nzima ukuthola ngempela.
UMbhishobhi Cooney wanezela: “Angazi noyedwa umpristi oshiye ubupristi ongazange ayeke ukuthandaza kuqala.” Isixwayiso esizwelayo kulabo bethu "abangenaso isikhathi" salesi sisekelo sempilo yobuKrestu.
Nazi izinto ezithile ezingokoqobo ongazenza usuku ngalunye nomndeni wakho ukuziletha ebukhoneni bukaJesu obuguqulayo:
Isibusiso ngesikhathi sokudla
… Washo isibusiso, wahlephula izinkwa, wazinika abafundi, bona bazinika izixuku. (Math 14:19)
Iyanda imindeni ehambisa uGrace ngesikhathi sokudla. Kepha lesi sikhashana esifushane futhi esinamandla senza izinto eziningana. Okokuqala, kuyinto embi njengoba sibeka amabhuleki enyameni yethu futhi silambele 
yazi ukuthi "isinkwa sethu semihla ngemihla" yisipho esivela "kuBaba wethu". Kubeka uNkulunkulu futhi enkabeni yomsebenzi womndeni wethu. Kusikhumbuza ukuthi…
Umuntu akaphili ngesinkwa sodwa, kodwa nangawo wonke amazwi aphuma emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu. (Math 4: 4)
Lokhu akusho ukuthi kufanele uhole njalo emithandazweni, njengoba nje noJesu aphathisa abafundi bakhe ukwaba isinkwa. Ekhaya lethu, ngivame ukucela izingane noma umkami ukuthi basho umusa. Izingane zifunde ukuthi lokhu kuhilelani ngokuzwa ukuthi umama nobaba basho kanjani umusa, kungaba ngamagama okuzenzakalela, noma umthandazo wasendulo othi "Sibusise O Nkosi nalezi zipho Zakho…".
Umkhuleko ngemuva kwesikhathi sokudla
Umusa ekudleni, noma kunjalo, awenele. Njengoba uSt. Paul esho,
Madoda, thandani omkenu, njengalokho noKristu walithanda ibandla, wazinikela ngenxa yakhe, ukuze alingcwelise, emhlanza ngokumgeza ngamanzi ngezwi. (Efe 5: 25-26)
Sidinga ukugeza imindeni yethu ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu, ngoba futhi, umuntu akaphili ngesinkwa sodwa. Futhi iZwi likaNkulunkulu linjalo enamandla:
… Izwi likaNkulunkulu liyaphila futhi liyasebenza, libukhali kunanoma iyiphi inkemba esika nhlangothi zombili, lingena phakathi komphefumulo nomoya, amalunga nomnkantsha, futhi liyakwazi ukubona ukubonakaliswa nemicabango yenhliziyo. (Heb 4:12)
Sithole ekhaya lethu ukuthi emva kokudla isikhathi esihle sokukhuleka kwazise sesibuthene ndawonye. Sivame ukuqala umthandazo wethu ngokubonga ukudla esikudlile. Kwesinye isikhathi, sizungeza umbuthano, futhi wonke umuntu kusuka phezulu kuye kosana ubonga ngento eyodwa abayibongayo ngalolo suku. Lokhu phela, abantu bakaNkulunkulu babezongena kanjani ethempelini eTestamenteni Elidala:
Ngenani esangweni lakhe ngokubonga, nasemagcekeni akhe ngokudumisa! (IHubo 100: 4)
Ngemuva kwalokho, kuya ngokuthi uMoya uhola kanjani, sizothatha ukufundwa okungokomoya kusuka kosanta noma ukufundwa kweMisa kosuku (kusuka kumissal noma kwi-inthanethi) bese siyashintshana 
ukuzifunda. Okokuqala, ngivame ukuthandaza ngokuzithandela ngicela uMoya oNgcwele ukuthi avule izinhliziyo namehlo ethu ukuze sizwe futhi siqonde ukuthi uNkulunkulu ufuna senzeni. Imvamisa ngiba nengane eyodwa ifunde ukuFundwa kokuqala, enye ifunde iHubo. Kepha ngokuhambisana nemodeli yobupristi besakramente, imvamisa ngangifunda iVangeli njengenhloko yekhaya engokomoya. Ngemuva kwalokho, ngivame ukuthatha umusho owodwa noma emibili ekufundweni okusebenza empilweni yomndeni wethu, odabeni olusekhaya, noma ekuvuseleleni ikholi kabusha noma indlela yokuphila iVangeli ezimpilweni zethu. Ngikhuluma nezingane ngokusuka enhliziyweni. Kwesinye isikhathi, ngiyababuza ukuthi bafundeni futhi bazweni kanjani eVangelini ukuze babambe iqhaza ngezingqondo nezinhliziyo zabo.
Sivame ukuvala ngokunikela ngemikhuleko yokuncenga abanye nezidingo zomndeni wethu.
IRosari
Ngibhalile kwenye indawo lapha ngamandla eRosari. Kepha ake ngicaphune uJohn Paul II obusisiwe ngokwesimo semindeni yethu:
… Umndeni, iseli eliyinhloko lomphakathi, [li] songelwa kakhulu ngamandla okuqhekeka kuzindiza zombono nezingokoqobo, ukuze sisabe ikusasa lalesi sikhungo esibalulekile futhi esisemqoka, kanye naso, nekusasa yomphakathi wonkana. Ukuvuselelwa kweRosari emindenini yamaKrestu, ngokwesimo senkonzo yokwelusa ebanzi emndenini, kuzoba usizo olusebenzayo ekulweni nemiphumela emibi yale nkinga ejwayelekile kule minyaka yethu. -URosarium Virginis Mariae, Incwadi yabaPhostoli, n. 6
Ngoba sinabantwana abancane, imvamisa sihlukanisa iRosari ibe amashumi amahlanu eminyaka, eyodwa yosuku ngalunye lweviki (futhi ngoba sivame ukufaka eminye imithandazo noma ukufundwa). Ngimemezela iminyaka eyishumi yosuku, futhi kwesinye isikhathi ngiphawule ukuthi isebenza kanjani kithi. Isibonelo, ngingasho uma sizindla ngeMfihlakalo Yosizi Yesibili, Ukushaywa Kwinsika… ”Bheka ukuthi uJesu wakhuthazelela kanjani buthule ukushushiswa nokushaywa abamnika kona, yize wayengenacala. Masithandazeleni-ke ukuthi uJesu asisize sithwale amaphutha omunye nomunye futhi sithule lapho abanye bekhuluma izinto ezilimazayo. ” Ngemuva kwalokho siya kumbuthano, ngamunye ethi Bongelela uMariya kuze kuphele iminyaka eyishumi.
Ngale ndlela, izingane ziqala ukuhamba esikoleni sikaMariya ziye ekuqondeni okujulile kothando nesihawu sikaJesu.
Ukulungiswa Komndeni
Ngoba singabantu, ngakho-ke sibuthakathaka futhi sithambekele esonweni nasekulimaleni, kunesidingo esiqhubekayo sokuxolelwa nokubuyisana ekhaya. Lokhu empeleni kwakuyinjongo esemqoka yobuPristi Obungcwele bukaJesu — ukuba ngumnikelo owawuzobuyisana abantwana bakaNkulunkulu noBaba wabo.
Futhi konke lokhu kuvela kuNkulunkulu, osibuyisene naye ngoKristu futhi wasinika inkonzo yokubuyisana, okungukuthi, uNkulunkulu wayebuyisana nomhlaba kuye ngoKristu, engazibali iziphambeko zabo kubo futhi ebeka kithi umyalezo wokubuyisana. (2 Kor 5: 18-19)
Futhi ngalokho, njengenhloko yekhaya, ngokuhlanganyela namakhosikazi ethu, kufanele sibe "abenzi bokuthula." Lapho kufika izinkinga ezingenakugwemeka, owesilisa 
Impendulo ivamise ukuhlala egalaji, ukusebenza emotweni, noma ukucasha komunye umhume olula. Kepha lapho isikhathi silungile, kufanele siqoqe amalungu omndeni abandakanyekayo, noma wonke umndeni, futhi sisize ukwenza lula ukubuyisana.
Ngakho-ke ikhaya liyisikole sokuqala sokuphila kobuKristu futhi "liyisikole sokucebisa abantu." Lapha umuntu ufunda ukukhuthazela nenjabulo yomsebenzi, uthando lobuzalwane, ukuphana - ngisho nokuphindaphinda - ukuthethelela, futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke ukukhulekelwa kukaNkulunkulu ngomthandazo nokunikela ngempilo yomuntu. -CCC,n. 1657
UKUBA NGUMPRISTI EMHLABENI WABASHESHINI
Akungatshazwa ukuthi, njengobaba, sibhekene nelinye lamagagasi amakhulu obuqaba aziwa emlandweni wesintu. Mhlawumbe sekuyisikhathi sokulingisa ngezinga elithile oFata basehlane. Laba kwakungabesilisa nabesifazane ababalekela umhlaba babalekela ehlane laseGibhithe ngekhulu lesithathu. Kusukela ekuphikeleni kwabo umhlaba nasekucabangeni ngemfihlakalo kaNkulunkulu, kwavela isiko lezindela eSontweni.
Yize singeke sakwazi ukubalekela imindeni yethu futhi siye echibini elikude (njengoba lokho kungakhanga abanye benu), singabalekela umoya wezwe ngokungena ogwadule lwangaphakathi nengaphandle ukwenziwa kwemali. Lelo igama elidala lamaKhatholika elisho ukunqoba ngokuzincisha, ukubulala lezozinto ezikithi eziphikisana noMoya kaNkulunkulu, ukumelana nezilingo zenyama.
Ngoba konke okusezweni, inkanuko yenyama, ukuheha kwamehlo, nokuphila kokuzenzisa, akuveli kuBaba kepha kuvela ezweni. Nokho umhlaba nokuyenga kwawo kuyadlula. Kepha owenza intando kaNkulunkulu uhlala kuze kube phakade. (1 Johane 2: 16-17)
Bafowethu, siphila ezweni lezithombe zocansi. Kukuyo yonke indawo, kusukela kumaphosta alingana nempilo ezitolo ezinkulu, ezinhlelweni zethelevishini, komagazini, kumawebhusayithi wezindaba, embonini yomculo. Sigcwele umbono osontekile ngobulili — futhi sidonsela obaba abaningi ekubhujisweni. Angingabazi ukuthi abaningi benu abafunda lokhu balwa nokulutha kwezinga elithile. 
Impendulo ukubuya futhi ngokuthembela emseni kaNkulunkulu, futhi balekela ehlane. Lokho kusho ukuthi, sidinga ukwenza izinqumo ezinjengamadoda mayelana nezindlela zethu zokuphila nokuthi sizivezela ini. Ngikubhalela njengamanje, ngihleli egumbini lokulinda esitolo sokulungisa izimoto. Njalo lapho ngibheka phezulu, kunowesifazane onqunu onqunu kwizikhangiso noma kumavidiyo omculo. Siwumphakathi ompofu! Silahlekelwe ubuhle bangempela besifazane, samnciphisa entweni. Lesi ngesinye sezizathu esenza singabi nayo ithelevishini ekhaya lethu. Mina, mathupha, ngibuthakathaka kakhulu ukubhekana nokuqhunyiswa ngebhomu kwalezi zithombe. Lokho, futhi imvamisa kungukucabanga okungenangqondo, okundindizelayo kokushayela okungenangqondo okukhipha isikrini esichitha isikhathi nempilo. Abaningi bathi abanasikhathi sokuthandaza, kepha banesikhathi esanele sokubuka umdlalo webhola wamahora amathathu noma amahora ambalwa wombhedo.
Isikhathi sokuthi amadoda ayicishe! Eqinisweni, nginomuzwa wokuthi sekuyisikhathi sokusika ikhebuli noma isathelayithi bese ngibatshela ukuthi sigula ngokukhokhela udoti wabo. Yeka leso sitatimende ebesingaba yiso uma amakhaya ayisigidi amaKhatholika engathi “akusekho.” Imali iyakhuluma.
Uma kukhulunywa nge-inthanethi, wonke umuntu uyazi ukuthi usekuchofozwe kabili kude ne-sleaze emnyama kunazo zonke ingqondo yomuntu engazicabanga. Nakulokhu, ngifikelwa amazwi kaJesu:
Uma iso lakho lokunene likukhubekisa, likhiphe, ulilahle; Kungcono ukuthi ulahlekelwe yilungu elilodwa lamalungu akho kunokuba umzimba wakho wonke uphonswe eGehena. (Math 5:29)
Kunendlela engebuhlungu kangako. Beka ikhompyutha yakho lapho abanye bangabona ngaso sonke isikhathi isikrini; faka isoftware yokuphendula; noma uma kungenzeka, lahla ngokuphelele. Tshela abangane bakho ukuthi ifoni isasebenza.
Angikwazi ukubhekana nazo zonke izilingo esibhekana nazo njengamadoda. Kepha kunesimiso esisodwa esiyisisekelo ongaqala ukusiphila manje ukuthi, uma uthembekile kuso, kuzoqala inguquko yempilo yakho obucabanga ukuthi ayinakwenzeka. Futhi yilokhu:
Gqokani iNkosi uJesu Kristu, futhi ningenzi malungiselelo ngezifiso zenyama. (Rom 13:14)
Ku-Act of Contrition kufanele sithandaze ngemuva kokuvuma izono, sithi,
Ngiyathembisa, ngosizo lomusa Wakho, ukungabe ngisona futhi gwema isikhathi esiseduze sesono.
Izilingo zosuku lwethu ziyakhohlisa, ziyaphikelela, futhi ziyaheha. Kepha azinamandla ngaphandle kokuthi sibanika amandla. Ingxenye enzima kakhulu ukungavumeli uSathane athathe lokho kuluma kokuqala esinqumweni sethu. Ukumelana nalolo mbono wesibili kowesifazane okhangayo. Ukungenzi ukuhlinzekelwa kwezifiso zenyama. Ukungahlali nje wenze isono, kepha ngisho nokugwema i- eduze nesikhathi kwalo (bheka Ingwe Esibayeni). Uma ungumuntu okhulekayo; uma uhambela ukuvuma izono njalo; uma uzibophezela kuMama kaNkulunkulu (owesifazane weqiniso); futhi uba njengomntwana omncane phambi kukaBaba oseZulwini, uzonikezwa umusa wokunqoba ukwesaba nezilingo empilweni yakho.
Futhi ube ngumpristi obizelwe ukuthi ube.
Ngoba kasinaye umpristi omkhulu ongakwazi ukuzwelana nobuthakathaka bethu, kepha olingiwe njengaye ngezindlela zonke, engenasono. (Heb 4:15)
