Ukuba Iphunga LikaNkulunkulu

 

NINI ungena ekamelweni elinezimbali ezintsha, empeleni zihlezi lapho. Nokho, yabo iphunga ifinyelela kuwe futhi igcwalise izinzwa zakho ngokujabula. Kanjalo futhi, indoda noma owesifazane ongcwele angase angadingi ukusho noma ukwenza okuningi phambi komunye, ngoba iphunga elimnandi lobungcwele babo lanele ukuthinta umoya womuntu.

Kunomehluko omkhulu phakathi kwabanekhono yedwa, kanye ne ngcwele. Kunabantu abaningi emzimbeni kaKristu abachichima izipho… kodwa abenza umthelela omncane kakhulu ezimpilweni zabanye. Bese kuba khona labo okuthi, naphezu kwamakhono abo noma ngisho nokuntula, bashiye “iphunga likaKristu” lihlala emphefumulweni womunye. Lokho kungenxa yokuthi bangabantu abasebunyeni noNkulunkulu, okhona uthando, obese egcwalisa wonke amazwi, izenzo, kanye nobukhona babo ngoMoya oNgcwele. ^[1]qhathanisa Ubungcwele Obuthembekile Njengoba indoda nomfazi beba nyamanye, kanjalo nomKristu ohlala kuJesu uba umzimba munye naye ngempela, ethatha iphunga laKhe, iphunga elimnandi. ukuthanda.

... uma nginamandla okuprofetha, futhi ngiqonda zonke izimfihlakalo nokwazi konke, futhi uma nginokukholwa konke ngangokuba ngigudluza izintaba, kodwa ngingenalo uthando, angiyinto yalutho. (Funda eyoku-1 Korinte 13:2.)

Ngokuba lolu thando lungaphezu kwemisebenzi emihle, edingekayo njengoba injalo. Ukuphila kukaNkulunkulu okungaphezu kwemvelo okubonisa sona impela isimilo sikaKristu:

Uthando luyabekezela futhi lunomusa; uthando alunamhawu, aluzigabisi; alizikhukhumezi noma lingenanhlonipho. Uthando aluphikeli ngendlela yalo; akucasuki noma ukucasuka; aluthokozi ngokubi, kepha luthokozela okulungileyo… (1 Korinte 13:4-6)

Lolu thando luwubungcwele bukaKristu. Futhi kufanele sishiye leli phunga elimnandi elingaphezu kwemvelo nomaphi lapho siya khona, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kusehhovisi, ekhaya, esikoleni, ekamelweni lokushintshela, emakethe, noma endaweni yokulala.

ISonto lidinga abangcwele. Bonke babizelwe ebungcweleni, futhi abantu abangcwele kuphela abangavuselela ubuntu. —SAINT JOHN PAUL II, Umlayezo Wosuku Lwentsha Lomhlaba ka-2005, Vatican City, Aug. 27th, 2004, Zenit.org

 

UKUVANGELA NGAMANDLA

Isibonelo esiphelele kanye nephethini yokuba yiphunga likaNkulunkulu sitholakala ku-Joyful Mysteries of Rosary.

UMariya, naphezu “kobuthakathaka” bakhe esemncane, intombazane eneminyaka eyishumi nanhlanu ubudala, umnika “ukufaneleka” okuphelele kuNkulunkulu. Ngokunjalo, uMoya oNgcwele imbobo wakhe, futhi uqala ukuthwala ubukhona bukaJesu, “uLizwi enziwe inyama.” UMariya ulalela, uthobekile, uthobekile, ulahliwe kakhulu entandweni kaNkulunkulu, ukulungele ukuthanda umakhelwane wakhe, kangangokuthi khona kanye ukuba khona kwakhe kuba “izwi.” Iba yi- amakha kaNkulunkulu. Ngakho lapho efika emzini ka-Elizabethe umzala wakhe, ukubingelela kwakhe okulula kwanele ukuthungela a ilangabi lothando enhliziyweni kamzala wakhe:

Kwathi u-Elizabethi ezwa ukubingelela kukaMariya, usane lwagxuma esiswini sakhe, no-Elisabethe egcwele uMoya oNgcwele, wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, wathi: “Ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazane, futhi sibusisiwe isithelo sesisu sakho. Kwenzeke kanjani kimi lokhu, ukuba unina weNkosi yami eze kimi na? Ngokuba lapho izwi lokubingelela kwakho lifika ezindlebeni zami, umntwana waxhuma esiswini sami ngokujabula. Nibusisiwe nina enakholwa ukuthi kuyakugcwaliseka okwakhulunywa kini yiNkosi. ( Luka 1:41-44 )

Asitshelwa ukuthi u-Elizabeth kanjani uyazi ukuthi uMsindisi ungaphakathi kukaMariya. Kodwa yena umoya uyazi futhi uyabubona ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu, futhi ugcwalisa u-Elizabethi ngenjabulo.

Leli izinga elihluke ngokuphelele lokuvangela elidlula amagama—ubufakazi bokuthi a ongcwele. Futhi sibona lokhu kwenzeka ngokuphindaphindiwe empilweni kaJesu. "Ngilandele,” Uthi kulendoda noma kulowo wesifazane, bashiye konke! Ngisho, lokhu akunangqondo! Ukushiya indawo yokunethezeka yomuntu, ukushiya isivikelo somsebenzi, ukuzenza usulu noma ukuveza izono zakho esidlangalaleni akukhona okwenziwa abantu “abanengqondo”. Kodwa yilokhu kanye okwenziwa uMathewu, uPetru, Magdalena, uZakewu, uPawulu, njll. Kungani? Ngoba umoya wabo wawudonswa yiphunga elimnandi likaNkulunkulu. Bakhangwa umthombo we amanzi aphilayo, okuyinto wonke umuntu omele. Somela uNkulunkulu, futhi lapho simthola kwenye, sifuna okwengeziwe. Lokhu kukodwa kufanele kunikeze wena kanye nami ukuzethemba kokungena ngesibindi ezinhliziyweni zabantu: kukhona abakufunayo, noma kunalokho, Umuntu othile... futhi izwe liyalinda futhi lilindele leli phunga likaKristu ukuba lidlule futhi.

Yebo, lapho abanye bengase bahlangane noNkulunkulu kithi, ukusabela kwabo akufani njalo nalokhu okukhulunywe ngakho ngenhla. Ngezinye izikhathi, bayosenqaba ngokuphelele ngoba iphunga lobungcwele libalahla ngecala ukunuka kwesono ezinhliziyweni zabo. Ngakho, uSt. Paul uyabhala:

... makabongwe uNkulunkulu osihola njalo ekunqobeni kuKristu, futhi usakaza ngathi amakha okumazi ezindaweni zonke. Ngokuba thina siyiphunga likaKristu kuNkulunkulu phakathi kwabasindiswayo nakwababhubhayo, kwabanye siyiphunga elimnandi lokufa kube ngukufa; sikuKristu. (2 Kor 2: 14-17)

Yebo, kumelwe sibe njalo “kuKristu” ukuze ulethe leli phunga laphezulu...

 

INHLIZIYO EHLANZEKILE

Siba kanjani iphunga likaNkulunkulu? Nokho, uma nathi siphethe iphunga lesono, ubani oyosikhanga? Uma inkulumo yethu, izenzo, kanye nemizwelo yethu ibonisa lowo "osenyameni", ngakho-ke asinalutho esingalunikeza umhlaba, ngaphandle kokuthi mhlawumbe, ihlazo.

Enye yezindikimba ezinamandla ezivela kuPontificate kaPapa Francis isexwayiso ngokumelene “nomoya wezwe” osusa uKristu enhliziyweni yomuntu.

'Lapho umuntu eqongelela isono, ulahlekelwa amandla akho okusabela bese uqala ukubola.' Ngisho noma inkohlakalo ibonakala ikunikeza injabulo, amandla futhi ikwenza uzizwe wanelisekile ngawe ngokwakho, wathi, ekugcineni akukwenzi. ngoba akushiyi indawo yeNkosi, yokuguquka… Okubi kakhulu [ukonakala] kuwumoya wezwe!' —UPOPE FRANCIS, Homily, Vatican City, November 27th, 2014; Zenit

Ngakho yibani ngabalingisa uNkulunkulu njengabantwana abathandekayo, niphile othandweni, njengalokho uKristu wasithanda, wazinikela ngenxa yethu njengomhlatshelo kuNkulunkulu, abe yiphunga elimnandi. Ukuziphatha okubi, noma yikuphi ukungcola, noma ukuhaha makungaphathwa nakuphathwa phakathi kwenu, njengokuba kufanele phakathi kwabangcwele, namanyala, noma inkulumo eyichilo, noma inkulumo eyichilo, okuyihlazo, kepha esikhundleni salokho makube ngukubonga. ( Efesu 5:1-4 )

UPawuli oNgcwele ufundisa izici ezimbili zempilo yobuKristu, i Ingaphakathi futhi Ingaphandle ukuphila okuhlanganisa ukuba “kuKristu.” Ndawonye bakha i- ukuhlanzeka kwenhliziyo kuyadingeka ukukhipha iphunga likaNkulunkulu:

I. Impilo Yangaphakathi

Enye yezingqinamba ezinkulu eBandleni namuhla ukuthi ambalwa amaKristu anempilo yangaphakathi. Kuyini lokhu? Impilo yobungane, umthandazo, ukuzindla, nokuzindla ngoNkulunkulu. ^[2]qhathanisa Ngomkhuleko futhi Okuningi Emthandazweni Kwamanye amaKatolika, ukuphila kwawo komkhuleko kuqala ngeSonto ekuseni futhi kuphele ngemva kwehora. Kodwa amagilebhisi ngeke akhule abe nempilo ngokulenga ihora elilodwa ngesonto emvinini njengoba umphefumulo obhapathiziwe ungakhula ebungcweleni ngokuba nobuhlobo obungalindelekile noBaba. Ngoba,

Umkhuleko uyimpilo yenhliziyo entsha. —Ikhathekizimu yeSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 2697

Ngaphandle komthandazo ukuphila, ngaphandle kokuthi "uxhunywe" eVini ukuze kugeleze iSap kaMoya oNgcwele, inhliziyo ebhapathiziwe iyafa, futhi iphunga lokubola nokubola ekugcineni kuyoba ukuphela kwephunga elithwala umphefumulo.

II. Impilo Yangaphandle

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, umuntu angathandaza izikhathi eziningi, aye eMiseni nsuku zonke, futhi ahambele imicimbi eminingi engokomoya… ukwenziwa kwemali yenyama nezinkanuko zayo, ngaphandle uma ingaphakathi lembulwa ngaphandle, khona-ke imbewu emangalisayo yeZwi likaNkulunkulu, etshalwe emthandazweni, iyoba...

…minyaniswe izinkathazo nengcebo nezinjabulo zokuphila, futhi [bayohluleka] ukuthela izithelo ezivuthiwe. ( Luka 8:14 )

Yilesi “sithelo esivuthiwe” esiletha iphunga likaKristu emhlabeni. Ngakho, ukuphila kwangaphakathi nengaphandle kuhlangana kwakhe iphunga lobungcwele bangempela.

 

UNGABA KANJANI IKHAKA LAKHE...

Ngivumele ngiphethe ngokwabelana ngala mazwi amahle, okuthiwa avela ku-Our Lady, kuqhubeke Kanjani ukuba yiphunga likaNkulunkulu emhlabeni...

Iphunga lempilo kaNkulunkulu uqobo mayibe kini: iphunga lomusa okugqokisayo, lokuhlakanipha okunikhanyiselayo, lothando oluniholayo, lomkhuleko olusekelayo, lokudabukisa okunihlambululayo.

Thuthukisa izinzwa zakho...

Amehlo mawabe izibuko zomphefumulo ngempela. Bavule ukuze bamukele futhi banikeze ukukhanya kobuhle kanye nomusa, futhi bavale kubo bonke ububi nethonya lesono.

Ulimi maluzikhulule ukuze lwakhe amazwi obuhle, othando neqiniso, ngakho-ke ukuthula okujule kakhulu kuzungeze njalo ukwakheka kwegama ngalinye.

Ingqondo mayivuleke kuphela emicabangweni yokuthula nesihe, yokuqonda nensindiso, futhi ingalokothi ingcoliswe ukwahlulela nokugxekwa, ingasaphathwa eyobubi nokulahlwa.

Inhliziyo mayivaleke ngokuqinile kukho konke ukuzihlanganisa ngokweqile, nezidalwa kanye nomhlaba ohlala kuwo, ukuze izivuleke kuphela ekupheleleni kothando lukaNkulunkulu nomakhelwane.

Angikaze, njenganamuhla abaningi bamadodana ami abawile badinga uthando lwakho olumsulwa nolwemvelo, ukuze basindiswe. Enhliziyweni yami Engaphelele ngizonenza ngamunye wenu ngobumsulwa bothando. Lokhu kungukuphenduka engikucela kini, madodana athandekayo; lokhu kuwukuzilimaza okufanele nikwenze, ukuze nizilungiselele umsebenzi onilindile futhi nibalekele izingibe eziyingozi ezinibekela zona iSitha sami.
