Umkhuleko uhambela umusa esiwudingayo… -ICatechism yeSonto LamaKatolika (CCC), n.2010
Abantu abaningi baqala unyaka omusha benza "Isinqumo Sonyaka Omusha" - isithembiso sokushintsha indlela ethile yokuziphatha noma ukufeza inhloso ethile. Bese bafowethu nodadewethu, zimisele ukuthandaza. Ambalwa amaKhatholika abona ukubaluleka kukaNkulunkulu namuhla ngoba awasathandazi. Uma bekhuleka ngokungaguquguquki, izinhliziyo zabo bezizogcwala kakhulu ngamafutha okholo. Babezohlangana noJesu ngendlela yomuntu uqobo, futhi baqiniseke ngaphakathi kwabo ukuthi ukhona nokuthi uyilokho athi Unguye. Bazonikezwa ubuhlakani obungokwasezulwini abangaqonda ngabo lezi zinsuku esiphila kuzo, kanye nombono wasezulwini wazo zonke izinto. Bebazohlangana Naye lapho beMfuna ngokuthembela okunjengokwengane…
… Mfune ngobuqotho benhliziyo; ngoba utholwa yilabo abangamhloli, futhi uzibonakalisa kulabo abangamkholwa. (Ukuhlakanipha 1: 1-2)
IZIKHATHI EZIJWAYELEKILE, IZINYATHELO ZOKUPHEPHA
Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi ngemuva kweminyaka engama-2000, uNkulunkulu uthumela umama wakhe lokhu isizukulwane. Uthini? Emiyalezweni yakhe eminingi, usibiza ukuthi sithandaze— ku “thandaza, thandaza, thandaza.”Mhlawumbe kungaphindwa ngenye indlela:
Gcwalisa izibani zakho! Gcwalisa izibani zakho! Gcwalisa izibani zakho!
Kwenzekani lapho singathandazi? Imiphumela ingaba mibi. ICatechism ifundisa ukuthi,
Umkhuleko uyimpilo yenhliziyo entsha. -CCC, n. 2697
Uma ungathandazi, kusho ukuthi inhliziyo entsha oyinikezwe kuBhaphathizo yile befa. Imvamisa ayicaci, indlela umuthi ofa ngayo isikhathi eside. Ngakho-ke, amaKatolika amaningi namuhla ayaphila, kodwa awaphili Ephila—Ukuphila ngokuphila kukaNkulunkulu okungaphezu kwemvelo, kuthela izithelo zikaMoya: uthando, injabulo, ukuthula, ukubekezela, umusa, ubumnene, ukwethembeka, ukuphana nokuzithiba — izithelo ezingaguqula umhlaba ngaphakathi nangaphakathi kwabo.
UMoya oNgcwele unjengamanzi omvini kaBaba othela izithelo emagatsheni awo. -CCC,n. 1108
Umkhuleko nguyena odonsa ubisi lukaMoya oNgcwele emphefumulweni, ukhanyise ingqondo yomuntu, aqinise isimilo sakhe, futhi asenze sifane kakhulu nobuNkulunkulu. Lo musa awuzi ngentengo ephansi. Idonswa ngokulangazelela, ukufisa, nokufinyelela komphefumulo kuNkulunkulu.
Sondelani kuNkulunkulu, naye uzosondela kini. (Jakobe 4: 8)
Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi “umkhuleko wenhliziyo,” ukukhuluma noNkulunkulu ngokusuka enhliziyweni, njengokungathi ukhuluma nomngani:
Umkhuleko ocabangayo ngombono wami akuyona enye into ngaphandle kokwabelana okusondele phakathi kwabangane; kusho ukuthatha isikhathi kaningi ukuba yedwa naye esaziyo ukuthi uyasithanda. -CCC, USt. Teresa wase-Avila, n. 2709
Uma umusa weza ngentengo ephansi, imvelo yethu yokuwa kungekudala izokuthatha kalula (bheka Kungani Ukholo?).
INGOZI YOKUPHENDUKA
Ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa ngumusa ongaphezu kwemvelo, inhliziyo engathandazi ibeka engcupheni yokulahlekelwa ukukholwa kwayo ngokuphelele. ENsimini yaseGetsemane, uJesu waxwayisa abaPhostoli ukuba "babuke futhi bathandaze." Kunalokho balala. Futhi lapho bevuswa ukusondela okungazelelwe konogada, babaleka. Labo abangathandazi nabasondela kuNkulunkulu namuhla, abadliwe ezindabeni zabantu, basengozini yokulala. Lapho isikhathi sesilingo sifika, bangawa kalula. Lawo maKrestu asaziyo lesi yisikhathi sokuzilungiselela, kepha angakunaki, azivumele ukuthi aphazanyiswe izinkathazo, ingcebo, nezinjabulo zalokhu kuphila, babizwa ngokufanelekile nguKristu ukuthi “bayiziwula” (Lk 8:14; Mat 25: 8).
Ngakho-ke uma ubuyisiwula, qala futhi. Khohlwa ukwazi ukuthi ngabe uthandaze ngokwanele noma uthandaze nhlobo. Mhlawumbe ukukhala okusuka enhliziyweni namuhla kuzoba namandla amakhulu kunemithandazo esakazekile yonyaka. UNkulunkulu angagcwalisa isibani sakho, futhi asigcwalise ngokushesha. Kepha angikuthathi kalula lokho, ngoba awazi ukuthi impilo yakho izocelwa nini, lapho uzobhekana neJaji nethemba lobuphakade eZulwini noma esihogweni.
UHAMBO LOMTHANDAZO
Ngakhula ngiwumntwana okhuthele kakhulu, ophazamiseka kalula, onesithukuthezi. Umqondo wokuchitha isikhathi uthule phambi kweNkosi wawuyithemba elinzima. Kodwa lapho ngineminyaka engu-10, ngakhangwa iMisa lansuku zonke elaliseduze kwesikole engangifunda kuso. Lapho, ngafunda ubuhle bokuthula, ngakha ukuthanda izinto zokucabangisisa nokulambela iNkosi yethu Eucharistic. Ngemihlangano yomkhuleko abazali bami abaya kuyo esontweni, [1]qhathanisa I-Charismatic - Ingxenye VII Ngikwazile ukuzwa impilo yokuthandaza yabanye abathola i "Ubuhlobo bomuntu" noJesu. [2]qhathanisa Ubudlelwano bomuntu noJesu
Ukuba ngumKristu akuwona umphumela wokukhetha okuhle noma umbono ophakeme, kepha ukuhlangana nomcimbi, umuntu, onikeza impilo umkhathizwe omusha nesiqondiso esinqumayo. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI; Incwadi Encyclical: UDeus Caritas Est, “uNkulunkulu Uluthando”; n.1
Ngokujabulisayo, ngabongwa ngabazali abangifundisa ukuthandaza. Lapho ngisemusha, ngangikhuphuka izitebhisi ngesidlo sasekuseni bese ngibona ibhayibheli likababa livulekile etafuleni nekhophi ye IZwi Phakathi Kwethu . Ngangifunda ukufundwa kweMisa nsuku zonke nokuzindla okuncane. Ngalo msebenzi olula, ingqondo yami yaqala ukuguqulwa.
Ningalingisi leli zwe kodwa niguqulwe isimo ngokwenziwa musha kwengqondo yenu… (Rom 12: 2)
Ngaqala ukuzwa uNkulunkulu ekhuluma nami uqobo ngeZwi laKhe. UKristu waba ngokoqobo ngokwengeziwe kimi. Nami ngaqala ukuzwa…
… Ubudlelwano obubalulekile nobomuntu ophilayo noNkulunkulu weqiniso — CCC,n. 2558
Ngempela, kusho uSt. Jerome, “ukungazi imiBhalo ukungamazi uKristu.” Ngokufunda imiBhalo nsuku zonke, uhlangabezana nobukhona bukaNkulunkulu ngoba leliZwi liyaphila, futhi leliZwi lifundisa futhi liguqule ngoba uKristu uyiZwi! Eminyakeni embalwa eyedlule, umpristi nami sachitha isonto sifunda imibhalo futhi silalela uMoya oNgcwele ukhuluma nathi ngayo. Kwakunamandla amakhulu ngendlela yokuthi iZwi langena kanjani emiphefumulweni yethu. Ngelinye ilanga, ngokungazelelwe wababaza, “LeliZwi liyaphila! Esikoleni sokufundela ubufundisi, besiphatha ibhayibheli njengokungathi luhlobo lwezinto eziphilayo okufanele luhlinzwe futhi luqedwe, umbhalo obandayo nobhaliwe ongenawo amandla angaphezu kwawemvelo. ” Ngempela, i-modernism ukhiphe imiphefumulo eminingi nezikole zokufundela ubungcwele nokungaqondakali.
“Sikhuluma Naye lapho sithandaza; siyamuzwa uma sifunda izwi laphezulu. ” -Umthethosisekelo we-Dogmatic on the Catholic Faith, Ch. 2, KuSambulo: IDenzinger 1786 (3005), iVatican I
Ngaqhubeka nokuya eMiseni eyunivesithi. Kepha ngabingelelwa ngesilingo ngemuva kwesilingo futhi ngaqala ukuthola ukuthi ukholo lwami nempilo yami yezikamoya bezingaqinile ngendlela ebengicabanga ngayo. Ngangimdinga ngempela uJesu kunanini ngaphambili. Ngangiya e-Confession njalo, ngizwa uthando oluqhubekayo nesihe sikaNkulunkulu. Kwakukulo mbhoshongo walezi zivivinyo lapho ngaqala khona ukukhala kuNkulunkulu. Noma kunalokho, ngangibhekene nokuthi ngilahle ukholo lwami, noma ngiphendukele kuye kaninginingi, naphezu kobuthakathaka obumunyama benyama yami. Kwakukulesi simo sobumpofu ngokomoya engakufunda lokho ukuthobeka kuyindlela eya enhliziyweni kaNkulunkulu.
… Ukuthobeka kuyisisekelo somkhuleko. -CCC,n. 2559
Futhi ngathola ukuthi akasoze angixosha, noma ngabe nginesono kangakanani, lapho ngibuyela kuYe ngeqiniso nangokuzithoba:
… Inhliziyo edabukile, ethobekile, Nkulunkulu, awuyikukuklolodela. (IHubo 51:19)
Makungabikho muntu owesabayo ukusondela kimi, noma izono zawo zibomvu kabuhlungu… Usizi olukhulu lomphefumulo alungangicasuli; kodwa kunalokho, Inhliziyo Yami ishukumiseleka kuyo ngomusa omkhulu. -Dusa Umusa Emphefumulweni Wami, IDayari kaSt. Faustina, n. 699; 1739
Ukuvuma-ke, ngakho-ke, futhi kufanele kube yingxenye ebalulekile yempilo yakho yomkhuleko. UJohn Paul II watusa futhi wenza ukuvuma izono masonto onke, manje esibe ngomunye wemisebenzi emikhulu empilweni yami:
Kungaba yinkohliso ukufuna ubungcwele, ngokobizo umuntu aluthole kuNkulunkulu, ngaphandle kokudla kaningi ngaleli Sakramente lokuguquka nokubuyisana. —UBUSISEKILE UJOHANE PAUL II; IVatican, Mashi 29 (CWNews.com)
Kamuva empilweni, ngaqala ukuthandaza iRosari ngokungaguquguquki. Ngalobu budlelwane nomama kaKristu — uMama wami — impilo yami engokomoya yabonakala ikhula kakhulu. UMary uyazi izindlela ezisheshayo zokuthola ubungcwele kanye nobudlelwano obujulile neNdodana yakhe. Kunjengokungathi, by ebambe isandla sakhe, [3]nb. Ngivame ukucabanga ngobuhlalu beRosari, obuzungezwe isandla sami, njengesandla sakhe kwesami… sivunyelwe ukufinyelela emakamelweni eNhliziyo kaKristu okungenjalo sizoba nobunzima bokukuthola. Usiholela ekujuleni nasekujuleni kwenhliziyo yothando lapho imililo yayo engcwele isiguqula kusuka ekukhanyeni kuye ekukhanyeni. Uyakwazi ukwenza njalo ngoba ubumbene kakhulu noMlingani wakhe, ummeli wethu, uMoya oNgcwele.
ISIQONDISO
Angingabazi ukuthi uMary ubambe iqhaza ekukhetheni abaqondisi abangokomoya kimi — amadoda okuthi, naphezu kobuthakathaka bawo, abe yizitsha zomusa omkhulu. Ngabo, ngaholwa ukuthandaza i-the Imfundo yamahora, okuwumthandazo weSonto Lendawo Yonke ngaphandle kweMisa. Kuleyo mithandazo nasemibhalweni yezimfundiso zenkolo, ingqondo yami iyaqhubeka nokuhambisana nekaKristu, kanye neyeSonto Lakhe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abaqondisi bami bangiqondisile ezinqumweni ezinjengokuthi ngingazila kanjani, ngithandaze nini, nokuthi ngilinganise kanjani impilo yomndeni nenkonzo yami. Uma ungakwazi ukuthola umqondisi ongcwele kamoya, cela uMoya oNgcwele ukuthi akunikeze, bese uthembela okwamanje ukuthi uzokuholela emadlelweni okudingeka ube kuwo.
Okokugcina, ngokuchitha isikhathi ngedwa noJesu eSigrameni Esibusisiwe, ngihlangane Naye ngezindlela ezingachazeki kaningi, futhi ngizwe ukuqondisa kwakhe ngqo emthandazweni wami. Ngasikhathi sinye, ngiphinde ngibhekane nobumnyama obudingwa ukucwengwa kokholo: izikhathi zokoma, ukukhathala, ukungahlaliseki, nokuthula okuvela esihlalweni sobukhosi okwenza umphefumulo ububule, ucela ubumnandi bokubona ubuso bukaNkulunkulu. Yize ngingaqondi ukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu esebenza ngale ndlela noma ngaleya ndlela, sengibonile ukuthi konke kuhle. Konke kuhle.
KHULEKA UNGASEKILE
Kufanele sizibekezelele. Kepha kufanele siqhubeke sithandaze. Ungapheli amandla! Ukuze ufunde ukuthandaza, thandaza njalo. Ukuze ufunde ukuthandaza kahle, thandaza kakhulu. Musa ukulinda “umuzwa” wokufuna ukuthandaza.
Umkhuleko awukwazi ukwehliselwa ekuthululelweni okuzenzekelayo kwesifiso sangaphakathi: ukuze umuntu athandaze, kumele abe nentando yokuthandaza. Futhi akwanele ukwazi ukuthi imibhalo yembulani ngomthandazo: umuntu kufanele futhi afunde ukuthandaza. Ngokudluliselwa okuphilayo (Isiko Elingcwele) ngaphakathi "kweSonto elikholwayo nelikhulekayo," uMoya oNgcwele ufundisa abantwana bakaNkulunkulu ukuthi bathandaze kanjani. -CCC, 2650
Thandaza ngokungapheli umgomo wakho (1 Thes. 5:17). Futhi kuyini lokhu? Kuwukwazi njalo ngoNkulunkulu, ukuxhumana njalo Naye kunoma isiphi isimo sempilo okuso, kunoma isiphi isimo okuso.
Impilo yomkhuleko umkhuba wokuba sebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu ongcwele kathathu futhi sihlanganyele naye… asikwazi ukuthandaza “ngaso sonke isikhathi” uma singathandazi ngezikhathi ezithile, sikuvuma ngokuzithandela. -CCC n. 2565, 2697
Ungacabangi ukuthi lo mthandazo ungapheli uyingxoxo eqhubekayo. Kufana nokubuka kwendoda ebhekise kunkosikazi wayo kulo lonke igumbi, "ukwazi" komunye okhona, uthando olukhuluma ngaphandle kwamagama, ukuhlala okungaphezu kwalokho, njengehange elingamafathomu angamashumi amahlanu ngezansi ekuthuleni okujulile ulwandle, kuyilapho isiphepho sinamandla ngaphezulu. Kuyisipho ukuthandaza kanjena. Futhi kunikezwa labo abafuna, labo abangqongqozayo, nalabo abacelayo.
Ngakho-ke, ulindeni? Zixazulule ukuthandaza.
