ITHEMBA NGUMUNTU

Phezulu, imibhalo yami kuleli sonto Ngokuba Ngcwele nokulandela Indlela Encane kungabonakala kunganikeli ngethemba elincane maqondana nokuwa kwamahhala komhlaba ekujuleni kobumnyama nezinxushunxushu. Kepha, empeleni, Indlela Encane ngumthombo wamanzi we weqiniso ithemba. Kanjani?

Yini okuphambene nethemba? Umuntu angase athi ukuphelelwa yithemba. Kepha enhliziyweni yokuphelelwa ithemba kukhona okujule nakakhulu: ukwesaba. Umuntu uphelelwa yithemba ngoba usephelelwe yithemba; Ukwesaba ikusasa-ke kuletha enhliziyweni ukukhanya kwethemba.

Kepha uSt. John wembula umthombo wethemba leqiniso:

UNkulunkulu uluthando, nalowo ohlala othandweni uhlala kuNkulunkulu noNkulunkulu kuye… Akukho ukwesaba othandweni, kepha uthando oluphelele luxosha ukwesaba… Siyathanda ngoba yena wasithanda kuqala. (1 Johane 4: 16-19)

Uvalo lususwa endaweni yothando, futhi uNkulunkulu uluthando. Lapho umuntu ehamba The Indlela Encane, kulapho umuntu engena kakhulu empilweni kaNkulunkulu, nempilo kaNkulunkulu ingena kuye. Ukwesaba kuqhutshwa uthando lukaNkulunkulu njengoba ikhandlela likhipha ubumnyama egumbini. Ngithini lapha? Ithemba lobuKristu, ukholo, injabulo, ukuthula… lokhu kuza kuphela kulabo abalandela ezinyathelweni zikaJesu. Yebo! Lapho sihamba ngokuhlanganyela futhi sihambisana nentando kaNkulunkulu, lapho-ke sinokukhanya kukaNkulunkulu okuqeda ithemba.

INkosi ingukukhanya kwami ​​nensindiso yami; ngizakwesaba bani? (IHubo 27: 1)

Lapho siqala ukuphila njengabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, siqala ukuthola ifa lezibusiso zomndeni. Lapho siqala ukuphilela uMbuso kaNkulunkulu, lapho-ke siba ngabamukeli besikhwama seNkosi:

Babusisiwe abampofu emoyeni, ngokuba umbuso wezulu ungowabo… Babusisiwe abamnene, ngokuba bayakudla ifa lomhlaba. Babusisiwe abalambele bomele ukulunga, ngokuba bayakusuthiswa. Babusisiwe abanesihe, ngokuba bayakwenziwa isihe. Babusisiwe abahlanzekile enhliziyweni, ngokuba bayobona uNkulunkulu…. (Math 5: 3-8)

Leli themba lizalwa ngaphakathi kwethu njengoba siqala ukuhamba ngesikhathi ngesigqi sokushaya kwenhliziyo Engcwele, ukushaya okubili isihe futhi umusa.

 

ITHEMBA NGOMUSA

Ngenkathi amagama engenza njengenhlansi, afana nesibonakaliso esikhomba ethembeni kunokuthola ithemba uqobo. Ithemba langempela leqiniso livela ekwazini uNkulunkulu, kusuka umvumele akuthande. Njengoba uSt. John abhala, "Siyathanda ngoba yena wasithanda kuqala." Noma omunye angathi, "Angisenakwesaba ngoba Uyangithanda." Ngempela, uSt. John wabhala:

Akukho ukwesaba othandweni, kepha uthando oluphelele luxosha ukwesaba ngoba ukwesaba kuhlobene nokujeziswa, ngakho-ke lowo owesabayo akakapheleli othandweni. (1 Johane 4:18)

Lapho siyeka ukuhamba singene Indlela Encane, okuyindlela yothando, bese siqala ukuhamba ebumnyameni besono. Futhi kusukela ekuqaleni kwethu bazali, siyazi ukuthi impendulo yomuntu esonweni iyini: “fihla” —casha ngamahloni, ucashe ngokwesaba, ucashe ngokuphelelwa yithemba… ^[1]UGenesise 3: 8, 10 Kepha lapho umuntu esazi isihe sikaNkulunkulu nothando lwaKhe olungenamibandela, lapho-ke noma umuntu engona, umphefumulo othembekile onjengomntwana ungaphendukela kuBaba ngokushesha, uncike ngokuphelele esiphambanweni esibuyisene naye.

Wathwala isijeziso esisiphulukisayo… Niphilisiwe ngamanxeba akhe. (Isaya 53: 5; 1 Pet 2:24)

Ngakho-ke, umphefumulo onjalo "ungaba nothando oluphelele" ngomqondo wokuthi, noma enamaphutha nokungapheleli, lowo mphefumulo ufunde ukuzijikijela ngokuphelele emuseni kaNkulunkulu. Njengoba ilanga likhipha ubumnyama ebusweni bomhlaba, lishiya izithunzi kuphela lapho kunezinto ezisendleleni, kanjalo futhi, umusa kaNkulunkulu uxosha ubumnyama bokwesaba enhliziyweni yesoni esithembayo, noma ngabe zisekhona izithunzi ezilahliwe ubuthakathaka bethu.

Isono esiphikisayo asincishi isoni umusa wokungcwelisa, ubungane noNkulunkulu, isisa senhliziyo, futhi ngenxa yalokho injabulo yaphakade. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 1863

Uyabona, uNkulunkulu akavinjelwa usizi lwethu, kepha kunalokho, yilabo ababambelela kulo:

Ungazibandakanyi nosizi lwakho — usabuthakathaka kakhulu ukuba ungakhuluma ngalo — kodwa, kunalokho, bheka Inhliziyo Yami egcwele ubuhle, bese ngigcwele imizwa Yami… Akufanele udikibale, kepha phokophela ukwenza uthando Lwami lubuse esikhundleni sothando lwakho. Yiba nokuzethemba, Ngane yami. Ungapheli amandla ngokuza uxolelwe, ngoba ngihlala ngikulungele ukukuxolela. Njalo lapho ucela khona, ukhazimulisa umusa Wami. —UJesu kuya eSt Faustina, Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, IDayari, n. 1486, 1488

Lapha, uJesu usitshela ukuthi singafihli, kodwa ukuthi siphume ethunzini bese sijabulela umusa waKhe. Umphefumulo onjalo, noma ethambekele esonweni nokwehluleka, ngeke wesabe — empeleni, uzoba ngumphefumulo ogcwele ithemba eliyisimanga.

Woza-ke ngokuthembela ukuzodonsa umusa kulo mthombo. Angikaze ngiyilahle inhliziyo ephendukayo. Usizi lwakho luye lwanyamalala ekujuleni kwesihe Sami. Ungaphikisani Nami ngobuhlungu bakho. Uzongijabulisa uma ungidlulisela kimi zonke izinkathazo nosizi lwakho. Ngizonqwabelanisa phezu kwakho amagugu omusa Wami. —UJesu kuya eSt Faustina, Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, Idayari, n. 1485

 

ITHEMBA NGOMUSA

Inhliziyo yomuntu idonsa igazi ngokushaya okukodwa, bese ikhipha ngokulandelayo. Ngenkathi inhliziyo kaJesu ngasikhathi sinye idonsela esonweni sethu (“ihlatshwe”), ekushayweni okulandelayo, igcwala amanzi negazi isihe futhi umusa. Leli “yifa” alinikezayo kulabo abathembela kuyezonke izibusiso zikamoya emazulwini. " ^[2]I-Eph 1: 3

Umusa womusa Wami udonswa ngesitsha esisodwa kuphela, futhi lokho-ukuthembana. Lapho umphefumulo uthembela ngokwengeziwe, yilapho ezothola khona ngokwengeziwe. Imiphefumulo ethembela ngokungenamkhawulo iyinduduzo enkulu Kimi, ngoba Ngithululela yonke ingcebo yomusa Wami kuyo. Ngiyajabula ukuthi bacela okuningi, ngoba kuyisifiso Sami ukunikela kakhulu, kakhulu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ngibuhlungu lapho imiphefumulo icela okuncane, lapho inciphisa izinhliziyo zayo.  —UJesu kuya eSt Faustina, Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, Idayari, n. 1578

Lezi zimfanelo ziyiqiniso wazibonela kulowo ohamba ngokukholwa. Yingakho nje kunzima ukuthi umuntu ongakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu athole “ubufakazi” bukaNkulunkulu abufunayo: ngoba uMbuso kaNkulunkulu unikezwa kuphela labo "abampofu emoyeni", abafana nezingane. UPapa Benedict ukuchaze lokhu encwadini yakhe yokubhala Khuluma uSalvi, kususelwa emazwini kaSt. Paul kumaHeberu 11: 1:

Ukholo luyisisekelo (i-hypostasis) wezinto ezithenjwayo; ubufakazi bezinto ezingabonwayo.

Leli gama elithi "hypostatis", kusho uBenedict, belizohunyushwa lisuselwa esiGrekini liye esiLatin ngaleli gama i-substantia noma “into.” Lokho kusho ukuthi, lolu kholo olungaphakathi kwethu kufanele lutolikwe njengeqiniso elingokoqobo - “njengento” engaphakathi kithi:

… Sezivele zikhona kithi izinto ezinethemba: yonke, impilo eyiqiniso. Futhi impela ngoba le nto uqobo lwayo isivele njengamanje, ukuba khona kwalokhu okuzayo kudala ukuqiniseka: le "nto" okumele ize ayikabonakali emhlabeni wangaphandle (ayi "veli"), kodwa ngenxa yokuthi, njengeqiniso lokuqala nelinamandla , siyiphatha ngaphakathi kwethu, umbono othile wayo usuvele ukhona. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, I-Spe Salvi (Saved In Hope),n. 7

Yile ndlela kanye mina nawe esiba ngayo izimpawu zethemba emhlabeni. Hhayi ngoba singacaphuna imibhalo yezithembiso zikaNkulunkulu noma siveze impikiswano ekholisayo ngempilo yangemva kokufa. Kunalokho, ngoba thina babe Yena ohlala ngaphakathi kwethu ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele. Sesivele sinemali ekhokhelwa phansi yethonifa laphakade.

Ubeke uphawu lwakhe kithi futhi wasinika uMoya wakhe ezinhliziyweni zethu njengesiqinisekiso… okuyisisekelo sokuqala sefa lethu… Ithemba alisidumazi, ngoba uthando lukaNkulunkulu lutheliwe ezinhliziyweni zethu ngoMoya oNgcwele esinikezwe thina. (2 Kor 1:22; Efe 1:14; Rom 5: 5)

 

ITHEMBA LEQINISO

Yebo, bangane abathandekayo, kukhona izinto ezehlela umhlaba, futhi maduze, ezizoshintsha zonke izimpilo zethu. ^[3]qhathanisa Ngakho-ke, Isikhathi Sini lesi? Labo abesabayo (noma abazosaba) yilabo abangakabi “abaphelele othandweni.” Lokho kungenxa yokuthi basazama ukubambelela kulo mhlaba, kunokulandelayo; abazilahlanga ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu, kodwa bafuna ukugcina ukulawula; bafuna kuqala imibuso yabo kunokufuna uMbuso kaNkulunkulu.

Umkhuleko uyimpilo yenhliziyo entsha…. Umkhuleko ubhekisisa umusa esiwudingayo… -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, n. 2697, 2010

Umkhuleko udonsa ukumuncwa kukaMoya oNgcwele ngoMvini, onguKristu, ezinhliziyweni zethu. Ngiluqale kangaki usuku lwami ngefu lobumnyama nokukhathala phezu komphefumulo wami… bese umoya onamandla kaMoya ungena enhliziyweni yami ngomkhuleko, uvunguza amafu bese ungigcwalisa ngemisebe ekhanyayo yothando lukaNkulunkulu! Ngifuna ukukhala emhlabeni: kwenze! Thandaza, thandaza, thandaza! Uzohlangana noJesu ngokwakho; uzothandana Naye ngoba Yena ukuthanda kuqala; Uzokuqeda ukwesaba kwakho; Uzobukhipha ubumnyama bakho; Uzokugcwalisa nge ithemba.

Ukuthandaza akusikho ukuphuma emlandweni bese siziyela ekhoneni lethu langasese lenjabulo. Uma sithandaza kahle senza inqubo yokuzihlanza kwangaphakathi okusivulela kuNkulunkulu kanjalo nakwabanye abantu nathi ... Ngale ndlela sithola lokho kuhlanzwa esivulekele uNkulunkulu futhi sikulungele ukusebenzela abanye abantu. Siyakwazi ukuba nethemba elikhulu, ngalokho-ke siba yizikhonzi zethemba labanye. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, I-Spe Salvi (Saved In Hope),n. 33, 34
