ISUKA usinikeze izindlela ezinjengalezi zokungena impi lemiphefumulo. Ngishilo okubili kuze kube manje, ifayela le- I-Rosary futhi IChaplet of Divine Mercy.
Ngoba lapho sikhuluma ngamalungu omndeni abanjwe esonweni sokufa, abashade abalwa nemilutha, noma ubudlelwane obuboshwe ngentukuthelo, intukuthelo, nokwehlukana, imvamisa sibhekene nempi yokulwa izinqaba:
Ngokuba umzabalazo wethu awuhlangene nenyama negazi kepha ngowababusi, namandla, nababusi bezwe balobu bumnyama bamanje, kanye nemimoya emibi esezulwini. (Efesu 6: 12)
Noma ubani ocabanga ukuthi lokhu kuyizinganekwane kufanele aqashe imuvi I-Exorcism ka-Emily Rose—indaba enamandla, eshukumisayo, neyiqiniso enesiphetho esimangalisayo. Nakuba eyakhe iyimpahla eyeqisayo, abantu abaningi, kuhlanganise namaKristu, bangathola imimoya ukucindezelwa futhi kukhathazeka.
I-chain link ibanjwe kuzo zombili iziphetho. Ukuze agqashule yena noma omunye ezibopho zobubi ezimweni ezithile, uJesu wanikeza izindlela ezimbili, izindlela ezimbili zokukhululeka kuzo zombili iziphetho:
Lolu hlobo alunakuxoshwa yinoma yini ngaphandle Umthandazo futhi ukuzila ukudla. (Maka 9: 29)
Ngokwengeza ukuzila ukudla emithandazweni yethu, uJesu usinika iresiphi enamandla yomusa yokunqoba umsebenzi nokuba khona kobubi emndenini wethu, ikakhulukazi uma buqinile. (Isiko lethu lisifundisa nangomusa wamanzi angcwele noma izinto ezibusisiwe. Umxoxisi wemimoya onolwazi angakutshela ukuthi uJesu usebenza ngamandla kangakanani ngalawa masakramente.)
O... Ngiyazi ukuthi yilokho abaningi benu abakucabangayo... iRosari... ukuzila ukudla… uhg. Kuzwakala njengomsebenzi! Kodwa mhlawumbe kulapho ukholo lwethu luvivinywa khona futhi luhlanzwe uthando lwethu. UBaba Ongcwele ngokwakhe usephinde wethula lezi nkonzo ngo lokhu isikhathi emlandweni weBandla—-isikhathi lapho mhlawumbe sibhekana novivinyo lwethu olukhulu maduzane. Sidinga izindlela eziphumelela kakhulu ezitholakala kithi zokwakha ukholo lwethu, nokuvikela imindeni yethu.
Eqinisweni, lapho abaphostoli bengenakulikhipha idemoni, uJesu uthi kubo linjalo
Ngenxa yokholo lwakho oluncane. (Math 17: 20)
Futhi umusa awubizi. Ukukholwa kwethu kuKristu kufanele ekugcineni kuhlangabezane nesiphambano—okungukuthi, nathi kufanele sizimisele ukuhlupheka. UJesu wathi noma ubani oyomlandela kumelwe “azidele” athabathe isiphambano sakhe. Ngokuthandazela nangokuzila ukudla ngenxa yabanye, sithwala ezethu, kanye neziphambano zabanye.
Akakho onothando olukhulu kunalolu, lokuba umuntu adele ukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yabangane bakhe. (UJohn 15: 13)
Yeka ilungelo esinalo lokuthanda abanye ngokoqobo kangaka ngokubathandazela nokuhlupheka kwethu!
Ngakho-ke njengoba uKristu wahlupheka enyameni, hlomani nani lowo mcabango... (I-1 Peter 4: 1)
Uma sizihlomisa ngaloku kuzimisela kokuthanda ngomnikelo, kuzokwenzeka izimanga. Ngoba ke ukuhlupheka kwethu kuwuphawu lokukholwa uJesu akusho inganyakazisa izintaba—izintaba ezimpilweni zomuntu esimthandayo.
Ngihawukele, Nkosi, Ndodana kaDavide! Indodakazi yami ihlushwa idemoni… Waphendula wathi: “Akulungile ukuthatha ukudla kwabantwana ukuphonse ezinjaneni. Wathi: “Ngiyakuncenga, Nkosi, ngokuba nezinjana zidla imvuthuluka ewa etafuleni labaninizo.”
Khona-ke uJesu waphendula wathi kuye: “O mame, lukhulu ukholo lwakho! Makwenzeke kuwe njengokufisa kwakho.” Indodakazi yakhe yasinda kusukela kulelo hora. (Math 15: 22-28)
Yebo, ngisho nezinsalela zethu zokholo nokuzikhandla kwanele, nakuba zingangembewu yesinaphi kuphela.
