THE Umbuso wezilwane ukwaneliseka ngokuyisisekelo. Izinyoni ziyenelisa. Izinhlanzi ziyenelisa. Kepha inhliziyo yomuntu ayikho. Asihlaliseki futhi asenelisekile, sihlala sifuna ukugcwaliseka ngezindlela eziningi. Siphishekela ubumnandi obungapheli njengoba umhlaba ujikeleza izikhangiso zawo zethembisa injabulo, kepha siletha ubumnandi kuphela — injabulo edlulayo, kube sengathi lokho kuyisiphetho ngokwako. Kungani-ke, ngemuva kokuthenga amanga, ngokungenakugwemeka siqhubeka nokufuna, ukusesha, ukuzingela injongo nokubaluleka?

Kuyinto isilonda yase-Edene. Ubuhlungu obulibele bokuthembana kwasendulo okuqhekekile. Kungukuhlanganiswa kokuhlangana okulahlekile noNkulunkulu kanye nomunye nomunye. 

Bangifuna usuku nosuku, futhi bafisa ukwazi izindlela zami… “Kungani sizila ukudla, wena ungakuboni na? Siyazihlupha, nina aninaki? ” (Ukufunda kokuqala)

INkosi ayikuboni ukuzila kwethu uma kuyisiphetho ngokwako, sengathi sengeza amaphuzu. Ngabe uNkulunkulu unendaba ngempela uma uyeka ushokoledi weLent? Esikhundleni salokho, ukuzila ukudla kwangempela kuyisenzo sokuguqula amehlo akho asuke kwesikhashana aye kokuphakade. Ukuzila ukudla, amasiko, izimpawu, imithandazo… konke kuyindlela yokusisiza siphendulele izinhliziyo zethu kuNkulunkulu. Cishe zonke izinkolo emhlabeni kumane nje kuyisibonakaliso salokhu kulangazelela okungokwemvelo kokuhlangana noNkulunkulu (futhi ngokweqiniso, iqiniso eliphawulekayo ngalokho, uNkulunkulu usilangazelele):

Umkhuleko ukuhlangana kokoma kukaNkulunkulu nezethu. UNkulunkulu womele ukuthi simmelele. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 2560

Ngakho-ke silimele, futhi sikhala ngomkhuleko… kodwa kubani? UJesu Kristu uyimpendulo yalesi silonda: Ngamanxeba Akhe siphilisiwe. ^[1]isib. 1 Pet. 2:24 Ubuso bukaJesu businikeza indawo kakhonkolo yokulungisa amehlo ethu; ngoMthendeleko, ukhonkolo usho ukumthinta; Ngokuvuma, ikhonkolo kusho ukuMuzwa ebiza umusa waKhe. Inhliziyo iqala ukusindiswa lapho sibona ukuthi sithandwa kakhulu nguNkulunkulu waze Wathumela iNdodana Yakhe ezelwe yodwa, sabeka eyethu ukwethemba kuye:

O Nkulunkulu, umhlatshelo wami umoya odabukile; inhliziyo edabukile futhi ithobekile, Nkulunkulu, awuyikulahla. (Ihubo lanamuhla)

Kodwa-ke, uJesu wasifundisa ukuthi inxeba lase-Edeni alisoze laphola ngokuphelele ngokubheka kwangaphakathi kuphela, sengathi inkolo imane nje iphishekela ukuzithoba. Njengoba uPapa Benedict abuza:

Bekungenzeka kanjani ukuthi umqondo wokuthi umyalezo kaJesu wawunabantu abancane futhi ubhekiswe kumuntu ngamunye kuphela? Sifike kanjani kule ncazelo “yensindiso yomphefumulo” njengembalekela ukuzibophezela kukho konke, futhi kwenzeka kanjani ukuthi sithathe iphrojekthi yobuKrestu njengososesho lokuzicelela usindiso olwenqaba umqondo wokusebenzela abanye? —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Isikhulumi uSalvi,n. 16

Lokhu, kunalokho, lokhu kuzila engikufisayo: ukukhulula ababoshwe ngokungafanele, kukhumule imichilo yejoka; ukukhulula abacindezelweyo, bephula wonke amajoka; wabelana nabalambile isinkwa sakho, ukhoselisa abacindezelwe nabangenamakhaya; gqokisa abanqunu lapho ubabona, futhi ungafulatheli wedwa. Lapho-ke ukukhanya kwakho kuyophuma njengokuntwela kokusa, futhi inxeba lakho lizosheshe liphole… (Kufundwa kokuqala)

Ukuthanda uNkulunkulu nomakhelwane: le, uJesu wathi, iyimiyalo emikhulu kunayo yonke ngoba kuyo le kuphela inhliziyo yomuntu izobuyiselwa esimeni sayo esigcwele, futhi ithole ukuphumula.
