UngukuPhulukiswa Kwethu

Ukuphulukisa Ukuthinta by UFrank P. Ordaz

NGEMUVA lobu buphostoli bokubhala bungesinye isigaba senkonzo esenzeka ngokuxhumana kwami nemiphefumulo evela emhlabeni wonke. Muva nje, kunentambo ehambisanayo ye- ukwesaba, noma ngabe lokho kwesaba kungenxa yezizathu ezahlukahlukene.

Ukwesaba okuvame kakhulu phakathi kokufunda kwami ngalesi sikhathi kukaPapa Francis, ukwesaba ukuthi uzonisela iqiniso noma aguqule "umkhuba wokwelusa", ongashintsha imfundiso ngempumelelo. Laba bafundi bavame ukubhekisisa wonke amahemuhemu, konke ukunyakaza, konke ukuqokwa, konke ukuphawula, isenzo ngasinye sikaBaba Ongcwele, behumusha kaningi ku Umoya Wokusola.

Futhi-ke kukhona labo abesaba lokho abangakubona ngokusobala kwenzeka nxazonke: ukuwa kwempucuko yaseNtshonalanga, ukuncipha kokubekezelelana kobuKhatholika beqiniso, isibalo esandayo sempi nodlame emhlabeni wonke njengoba bebuka ngesikhathi sangempela ukuvulwa kwe- IziMpawu eziyisiKhombisa zeRevolution.

Bese kuba khona labo abesaba iqiniso; yokubuka izimpawu zezikhathi nokwamukela ukuthi sisondela Ukuphela Kwalesi Sikhathi ngayo yonke idrama ebikezelwe yiMibhalo, uMama wethu, kanye noPapa. Imvamisa yilabo abangafuni kwenza lutho ngabo bonke “lobubumnyama nalobo bubi” futhi abamane benze sengathi konke kuzovele kusebenze futhi. ^[1]Kungani Abapapa Bengamemezi?

Futhi-ke kukhona labo abaphila nje usuku nosuku besaba ukubhekana nokudana, umlutha, ukungezwani komndeni, usizi emshadweni, nobunzima bezezimali.

Futhi-ke, abaningi benu banesizungu futhi badabukile; udidekile, ulahlekile, futhi udidekile. Ukhathazeka ngokuphepha kwakho, ukuthi uzoba nokudla okwanele, amanzi, nephepha langasese; ukuthi amandla noma igesi yemvelo izohlala ivuliwe yini; ukuthi amanani enzalo azokhuphuka yini; ukuthi uzolahlekelwa imali oyongile yini; noma ngabe izingane zakho zizosindiswa… futhi ngalo mqondo wokuphelelwa yithemba, abanye bazama ukuthola induduzo ngokudla, utshwala, ugwayi, izithombe zobulili ezingcolile, ukuntweza okungapheli ku-Facebook, ithelevishini, noma imidlalo. Futhi lokhu kuholela ekwesabeni okubi kakhulu: ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukushiyile manje; ukuthi usenele ngawe; ukuthi Ubona njengosizi, onengekayo, oxegayo, ongenamsebenzi, nomubi.

ITHEMBA ELISEMTHETHWENI

Futhi-ke, ngifuna ukukunika ithemba namuhla. Hhayi ithemba elingamanga. Akusilo ithemba elenza sengathi lesi "sikhathi somusa" uSt. Faustina noPapa Francis abathi siphila kuso ngandlela thile sothando olukhulu kunokuphikisana nalokho okuyikho ngempela: isikhathi sokubuyela kwamadodana alahlekile ngaphambi kokuba uNkulunkulu ahlambulule umhlaba ngokujeziswa (futhi ngisho nokusho ukuthi lokho kufaka ezinye ku-tizzy esesabekayo. Kepha ungafela ebuthongweni bakho kulobubusuku, ngakho ungakhathazeki.)

Futhi cha, ithemba engifuna ukulinikeza namuhla akusona isigwebo esisheshayo; igagasi elilula lesandla lokwenza zonke izinkinga zakho zinyamalale. Cha, ithemba engifuna ukukunika lona yilokho UJesu Kristu ulapha, ngaphandle kwemizwa yakho ngokuphambene. Uma uzwa ukuthi Uzifihle wena, kungenxa yokuthi Ufuna ukuthi uqhubeke umfune. Ngoba kungalesi sizathu sokungabikho nokushiya lapho lonke uvalo lwakho, ukuphoqelelwa, nobuthakathaka kuveza obala; ukuthi ukuzithanda kwakho, okunamathiselwe, nezithixo kuyabonakala. Kungani? Ukuze ubabone futhi, ngethemba, ngokuzithoba, ubanikele kuJesu. Kusho ukuthini lokho? Kusho uku phila kulomoya wobuphofu ngokuzinikela okuphelele kuNkulunkulu. Ukuthi, “Nkosi, angazi ukuthi uPhapha wenzani. Angazi ukuthi kuzokwenzekani kusasa. Angazi ukuthi ngizozondla kanjani mina noma umndeni wami. Angazi noma ngizoyikhokha yini imali yami yokubambisa ngempahla. Ngaphezu kwalokho, Nkosi, angisiyo indoda (noma owesifazane) obekufanele ngibe yilo. Ngiyaphoqa; Ngibuthakathaka; Ngifuna ukwenza okuhle, kepha ngenza okubi. Ngifuna ukuba ngqo nawe, kepha ngenza okungalungile. Ngifuna ukushintsha, kodwa angikwazi ukuzisiza… Noma kunjalo, Jesu, ngithemba wena. Noma kunjalo, Jesu, ngithemba wena. Noma kunjalo, ngizoqala futhi kulo mzuzu futhi, kulo mzuzu, ngikuthande ngangokunokwenzeka. ”

Futhi uma wehluleka kulowo mzuzu olandelayo ukwenza lokho, njengoba sithambekele ekwenzeni kanjalo, kuzofanela uqale futhi emzuzwini olandelayo ngemuva kwalokho. Uyabona, uNkulunkulu aze afune ukwembula kuwe ukuthi izinqumo ezinhle kakhulu, ngaphandle kwaKhe, ngaphandle kokuthola usizo emseni waKhe- uzokwehlulelwa. Ngoba wathi, “ngaphandle Kwami, ungeke wenze lutho.” ^[2]John 15: 5

VUSELELA KUMUSA

Ngakho-ke, ngifuna ukuphinda kuwe namuhla futhi amazwi eNkosi yethu: ngaphandle kokuthi uba njengomntwana omncane, awukwazi ukungena eMbusweni. Nakhu-ke okufanele ukwenze ukungena eMbusweni.

Uthando Lokuqala Kuqala

Into yokuqala ukuphenduka kulokho okukususe “othandweni lwakho lokuqala”, okungukuthi ukuthanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, umphefumulo, namandla.^[3]I-Matt 22: 36-37 Abaningi benu baqala usuku ngaphandle umkhuleko. Uqala ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu. Ufuna kuqala umbuso wakho, hhayi owakhe, futhi kusukela ekuhambeni, unenhliziyo ehlukene:

Akekho ongakhonza amakhosi amabili. Uyozonda enye athande enye, noma azinikele kokunye adelele enye. Anikwazi ukukhonza uNkulunkulu noMamona. (Math 6:24)

Kusukela kumzuzu wokuqala wosuku, uqala ukuhlwanyela ngaphakathi yakho umbuso, “enyameni”, bese uyazibuza ukuthi kungani usuku lonke uvuna isivuno senyama — ukungabi nokubekezela, ukucasuka, izifiso, ukuzicabangela wena, noma yini onayo.

… Ngoba lowo ohlwanyela inyama yakhe uyovuna ukonakala enyameni, kodwa ohlwanyela umoya uyovuna ukuphila okuphakade kuMoya. Masingakhathali ngokwenza okuhle, ngoba ngesikhathi esifanele sizovuna isivuno sethu, uma singayeki. (Gal 6: 8-9)

Qala konke ngombono wentando kaNkulunkulu, hhayi eyakho… bese ubheka impilo yakho iqala ukuthela isithelo sikaMoya oNgcwele.

"Uthando" Lothando

Umthandazo ubalulekile — ubalulekile ukuze ngethemba. Mphefumulo othandekayo, uzobhubha uma ungathandazi. ICatechism ifundisa ukuthi “umthandazo uyimpilo yenhliziyo entsha.”^[4]CCC, 2697 Ngoba iningi lenu alithandazi, okusho ukuthi, ukuxoxa nalo, ukukhala nalo, ukulalela nokufunda eNkosini, nifela ngaphakathi. Noma imuphi umusa wokuthi ayengakwenza guqula ushiywe unganiselwa, njengembewu endleleni enamadwala, futhi ushiywe usesimweni esifanayo noma esibi kakhulu kunakuqala.

Kepha uNkulunkulu akafuni ukuvumelana kwamazwi, kepha a i-symphony yothando. Ngakho thandaza kuye ngokusuka enhliziyweni. Khuluma ngokusobala, ngokusobala, njengoMngane…

Thela inhliziyo yakho njengamanzi phambi kweNkosi. (IsiLilo 2:19)

… Bese umlalela Ekhuluma nawe ngomBhalo, isikhwama
ukufundwa okubomvu kwabaNgcwele, noma "ivangeli lemvelo", ubuhle bendalo. Thanda Lowo oLuthando, noThando bazokuthanda baphelele.

Qala nsuku zonke ngomkhuleko. Qeda nsuku zonke ngomkhuleko. Uma kungenzeki ukuthatha imizuzu eyi-15-30 ekuseni, okungenani memela uNkulunkulu osukwini lwakho, ulungcwelise kuye ngomkhuleko onje:

O Jesu,
ngeNhliziyo Engaqondakali kaMariya,
Nginikela Wena imithandazo yami, imisebenzi,
injabulo nokuhlupheka
zanamuhla zazo zonke izinhloso
Yenhliziyo Yakho Engcwele,
ngokuhlangana noMhlatshelo Ongcwele weMisa
emhlabeni wonke,
ngenhlawulo yezono zami,
ngezinhloso zazo zonke izihlobo zami nabangane,
futhi ikakhulukazi
ngezinhloso zikaBaba Ongcwele.
Amen.

Akekho omunye umuntu ongakwazi ukukusiza uthandaze, wokuletha imfundiso yeNkosi futhi akusize ukhule emseni kunalowo owenza okufanayo kuJesu eminyakeni yokuqala yokuphila Kwakhe: Umama Wethu Obusisiwe. Yenza ifayili le- Irosari, leso “sikole sikaMariya”, okuyingxenye yempilo yakho yokuthandaza ejwayelekile, uma kungenjalo nsuku zonke. fast. Zila ukudla uthandaze.

Mbuke

Uma ngithi uJesu ulapha, ngiqonde ukuthi Ulapha! Asizintandane! Shayela epherishi lakho namuhla, hamba uhlale phambi kweSakramente elibusisiwe noma eTabernakele noma eMiseni, ubone ngamehlo akho ukuthi awulahliwe. Yena, ngokufihla iSinkwa, kukhona, okuphilayo, okunothando, nokushayisana ngesihe kuwe. UMthendeleko awulona uphawu oluthandekayo, kodwa nguJesu-Christ-Present. Ngizwa amazwi wezingelosi ethuneni likaKristu lapho beza bezofuna iNkosi:

Kungani nifuna ophilayo phakathi kwabafileyo? Akekho lapha, kodwa uvusiwe. (Luka 24: 5-6)

Kungani ufuna ukwelashwa kuyo yonke indawo ngaphandle koMphilisi? Yebo, abanye benu bamfuna ngokoqobo phakathi kwabafileyo: igama elifile labelaphi abazisebenzelayo, i-pop psychology, kanye nemikhuba yobudala obusha. Ufuna induduzo ngesinkwa newayini, kepha hhayi eSinkwa Esiphilayo naseGazini Eliligugu. Iya kuye; mfune eMiseni eliNgcwele; mfune ekudumiseni… futhi uzomthola.

Sonke, sibuka ngobuso obembuliwe enkazimulweni yeNkosi, siguqulwa sibe ngumfanekiso ofanayo sisuka enkazimulweni siye enkazimulweni, njengaseNkosini enguMoya. (2 Kor. 3:18)

Mbuke Yena kwabanye

Ukufuna uMbuso waKhe kuqala, ukuMfuna lapho ekhona, kumele kusiholele ekumboneni komakhelwane bethu. Ngaphandle kwalokho, ingokomoya lethu liyazikhethela wena; isikhumba sethu simboziwe, kepha umakhelwane wethu usala nqunu emakhazeni okuphelelwa yithemba. Sizibeka engcupheni yokuba ngabaFarisi abadabukisayo abanemithetho eyiyo, kepha umgomo ungalungile. Umgomo ukusindiswa komhlaba. Lokho kuyinjongo yakho nami.

Ngakho-ke hambani niyokwenza zonke izizwe zibe abafundi ... (Math 28:19)

Uma sehluleka ukuvumela Uthando esilutholayo flow ngathi, khona-ke iba sengcupheni yokuba yisiziba esimile, ichibi lokuzithanda okusifaka ubuthi thina nabanye futhi liholele ekuvuneni isivuno esifanayo sokungasebenzi kahle.

Noma nini lapho impilo yethu yangaphakathi iba nezifiso zayo kanye nokukhathazeka, akusekho ndawo yabanye, ayisekho indawo yabampofu. Izwi likaNkulunkulu alisazwakali, injabulo ethulile yothando lwakhe ayisazwakali, futhi isifiso sokwenza okuhle siyaphela… Impilo ikhula ngokunikezwa, futhi iba buthakathaka ngokuzihlukanisa nokunethezeka. —I-POPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium, ”Injabulo yeVangeli”, n. 2, 10

Uthando oluphelele luxosha konke ukwesaba, kusho uSt John. "Uthando oluphelele" kulapho sithanda bobabili uNkulunkulu futhi umakhelwane.

Namuhla, ukuze ukholo lukhule, kufanele sizikhokhele thina nabantu esihlangana nabo ukuze sihlangane nabangcwele futhi sihlangane nabahle ... Akukho okungasondeza ebuhleni bukaKristu uqobo ngaphandle komhlaba wobuhle owadalwa ukukholwa nokukhanya okukhanyisa ebusweni babangcwele, okukhanya ngaye uqobo. —Ukhadinali uJoseph Ratzinger (UPAPA BENEDICT XVI), Umhlangano Nesidlo Nenkululeko, eRimini, e-Italy, ngo-Agasti 2002; thundzela.com

Ukuqala Futhi

Uzohluleka, hhayi ngoba uzibekele lokho, kodwa ngoba leso yisimo somuntu. Kepha ngisho nokwehluleka kwakho okuningi nokuningi, okuphindaphindayo nokuzisizayo kuyikho kuhlinzekelwe ngomusa. Uma ufuna ukukhula emseni, uma ufuna ukukhula ethembeni, enjabulweni, nasebungcweleni, lapho-ke ngeke kwenzeke ngaphandle kokuvuma njalo. Lapho, eSigrameni Sokubuyisana, uMsindisi ngeke nje akukhulule esonweni: Uzokuqinisa, akuqinise, akweluleke, futhi uma kudingeka, akhiphe noma yiziphi izinhlangano zamademoni ezixhumene nawe kuze kube sezingeni lokuthi Isivumo sakho ngokuphelele futhi eqotho (okungukuthi, uqamba izono zakho ngokuthembeka okuluhlaza, noma isibalo sezikhathi ozenze ngazo). Ama-Exorcists athi Ukuvuma izono kunamandla kakhulu ezimweni eziningi kunemithandazo yokukhipha imimoya abathi njengoba, kuConfession, isimangalo esisemthethweni uSathane anaso kuwe Isono ahlukanisiwe.

Kungaba yinkohliso ukufuna ubungcwele, ngokobizo umuntu aluthole kuNkulunkulu, ngaphandle kokudla kaningi ngaleli sakramente lokuguquka nokubuyisana. —UPapa uJohn Paul Omkhulu; IVatican, Mashi 29 (CWNews.com)

Ukuvuma izono, okungukuhlanzwa komphefumulo, kufanele kwenziwe kungakadluli zonke izinsuku eziyisishiyagalombili; Angikwazi ukubekezelela ukugcina imiphefumulo kude nokuvuma izinsuku ezingaphezu kweziyisishiyagalombili. —USt. UPio kaPietrelcina

ISakramente Lamanje

Ekugcineni, uSt. Paul uthi:

Ningazifanisi nalenkathi kodwa niguqulwe isimo ngokwenziwa ibentsha ingqondo yenu, ukuze nikwazi okuyintando kaNkulunkulu, okuhle nokujabulisayo nokupheleleyo (Rom 12: 2)

Abaningi bakhathazekile ngoba bavumela izingqondo zabo zizulazule zicabange ngendlela yezwe. Azisekho
ukuhlala esikhathini samanje — ukuphela kwendawo lapho uNkulunkulu “asesikhathini”. Ngoba okwedlule akusekho; ikusasa alizange lenzeke — futhi ngenkathi bejaha ukuthola impahla ethe xaxa yombuso wabo, kungenzeka bangaphili ngaphesheya kwalobu busuku. Uma kufanele "sifune kuqala umbuso" njengoba uJesu afundisa, bese uqala ukubuka lapho ekhona: khona lapha, khona manje.

Cabanga ngokujabula ojikelezayo, uhlobo olubona ezinkundleni zokudlala. Khumbula lapho zifika ngempela ngokushesha? Izingane komunye umkhawulo zazindiza ezindiza ezihlahleni nasezinqoleni ezihamba ngensimbi. Izingane ngakolunye uhlangothi bezidlula ziphosa. Kodwa ke, lowo owayehlala phakathi wathula kancane wagoqa izingalo zakhe ngesikhathi ozakwabo bezulazula ngenxa yokuhlukumezeka.

Isikhathi samanje yisikhungo okufanele siye kuso. Futhi sona kanye isikhungo salesi sikhungo nguNkulunkulu (ngaphandle kwalokho isikhungo siba yithina, futhi sizozithola sindiza endlebeni ngokushesha). Ngakho-ke, qaphela izimpawu zezikhathi, kepha ungakhathazeki ngekusasa.

Ungakhathazeki ngekusasa; kusasa lizozinakekela…. Kepha funa kuqala umbuso (kaNkulunkulu) nokulunga kwakhe, futhi zonke lezi zinto uzonikezwa zona ngaphandle. (Math 6:34, 33)

Vumela okwedlule kukugcine uthobekile futhi umncane, kepha ungalokothi, ukuvumele kukudonsele emandleni okuphelelwa yithemba okuzokufaka ebumnyameni uKristu uqobo afela ukukukhulula kubo.

Wasikhulula emandleni obumnyama futhi wasidlulisela embusweni weNdodana yakhe ethandekayo, esinokuhlengwa kuye, ukuthethelelwa kwezono. (Kol 1:13)

Ngamafuphi, bafowethu nodadewethu abathandekayo, qala ukuhlala futhi ukholo. Ungukuphulukiswa kwethu… futhi kungokholo kuphela lapho uzokhululwa khona ngokwesaba, uphulukiswe othandweni, futhi uqiniselwe impi, le mpilo ezoba yiyo kuze kube ngokulandelayo.
