Imfihlakalo yesihlanu Ejabulisayo: Ukutholwa Kwethempeli, ngu-Michael D. O'Brien.
KAKHULU ngesonto, uBaba oNgcwele wathumela abapristi abasanda kumiswa abangama-29 emhlabeni ebacela ukuba "bamemezele futhi bafakaze ngenjabulo." Yebo! Kumele sonke siqhubeke nokushumayeza abanye injabulo yokwazi uJesu.
Kepha amaKrestu amaningi awazizwa nokujabula, ingasaphathwa eyokufakaza ngakho. Eqinisweni, abaningi bagcwele ukucindezeleka, ukukhathazeka, ukwesaba, kanye nomuzwa wokulahlwa njengoba ijubane lempilo lishesha, izindleko zokuphila zikhuphuka, futhi babuka izihloko zezindaba ezenzeka ngakubo. "Kanjani, ”Abanye bayabuza,“ ngingaba yini kwenjabulo? "
KUFANELEKELWE UKWESABA
Ngiqale isigaba sayo esibizwa ngokuthi “Kukhubazeke Ngenxa Yokwesaba”Kubha eseceleni. Isizathu ukuthi, yize kunezibonakaliso zethemba emhlabeni, iqiniso lisitshela ukuthi kunesiphepho esikhulayo sobumnyama nobubi, esinokuduma kwezulu Ukushushiswa iqala ukwakhiwa. Njengomvangeli nobaba wezingane eziyisishiyagalombili, nami kufanele ngibhekane ngezikhathi ezithile nemizwa yami njengoba inkululeko yokukhuluma nokuziphatha kwangempela kuqhubeka nokunyamalala. Kodwa kanjani?
Into yokuqala ukubona injabulo engikhuluma ngayo ayikwazi ukukhiqizwa ngokuthanda noma ukuhlanganiswa. Kungukuthula nenjabulo okuvela kwenye indawo:
Ukuthula ngikushiya kuwe; ukuthula kwami ngikunikeza. Hhayi njengoba umhlaba unikeza ngikunikeza wena. Inhliziyo yenu mayingakhathazeki noma yesabe. (Johane 14:27)
Angisakwazi ukukhiqiza injabulo nokuthula njengoba ngingenza ukushaya kwenhliziyo. Inhliziyo yami ipompa igazi yodwa. Kodwa-ke, mina can khetha ukuyeka ukuphefumula, ukuyeka ukudla, noma ngokudabukisayo, ukuzilahla eweni, futhi inhliziyo yami izoqala ukuntenga, ize yehluleke.
Kunezinto ezintathu okumele sizenze ukuze izinhliziyo zethu zikamoya zikwazi ukumpompa ukuthula nenjabulo engaphezu kwezemvelo ezimpilweni zethu — umusa ongabekezelela ngisho nasezivunguvungwini ezinkulu kakhulu.
UMTHANDO
Umkhuleko ngumoya wethu. Uma ngiyeka ukuthandaza, ngiyeka ukuphefumula, futhi inhliziyo yami engokomoya iqala ukufa.
Umkhuleko uyimpilo yenhliziyo entsha. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika, n. 2697
Wake waphelelwa umoya, noma wezwa inhliziyo yakho yeqa ukushaya? Ukuzizwa kungenye yokwethuka okusheshayo nokwesaba. UmKrestu ongathandazi yilowo ofikelwa ukwesaba. Imicabango yakhe igxile emhlabeni kunangezinto ezingaphezulu, ezintweni ezibonakalayo kunokungaphezu kwemvelo. Esikhundleni sokufuna umbuso, uqala ukufuna okokusebenza - lezo zinto eziveza ukuthula kwesikhashana nokwamanga nenjabulo (unesifiso sokuzifuna, bese ekhathazeka ngokulahlekelwa zona uma sezinaye.)
Inhliziyo elalelayo ixhunywe kuMvini, onguKristu. Ngomkhuleko, umuncu kaMoya oNgcwele uqala ukugeleza, futhi nami, igatsha, ngiqala ukuzwa izithelo zokuthula nenjabulo ezinikezwa nguKristu yedwa.
Ohlala kimi, nami kuye, uyakuthela izithelo eziningi, ngokuba ngaphandle kwami ningenze lutho. (Johane 15: 5)
Isimo sokwamukela lezi zimfanelo ngomkhuleko, noma kunjalo, ukuthobeka nokwethemba. Ngoba uMbuso kaNkulunkulu unikezwa kuphela "abantwana": labo abazinikela kuNkulunkulu ezilingweni nasekubuthakathakeni kwabo, bathembela emseni waKhe futhi bathembele ngokuphelele esikhathini sezixazululo Zakhe.
UKUPHILA KWOMHLANGANO: “ISINKWA SAMANDLA”
Enye indlela inhliziyo kamoya eqala ukwehluleka ngayo ukungadli —ngokuzisusa eSakrameni le-Eucharist Engcwele, noma ngokungazilungiseleli kahle ukuthola umzimba weNkosi negazi.
Lapho ethola iSidlo Esingcwele ngenhliziyo ehlukene phakathi, uJesu wathi kuSt. Faustina:
… Uma kukhona omunye umuntu enhliziyweni enjalo, angikwazi ukukuthwala futhi ngiyishiye ngokushesha leyo nhliziyo, ngihambe Nami zonke izipho nomusa engiwulungiselele umphefumulo. Futhi umphefumulo awukuqapheli ngisho nokuhamba Kwami. Emva kwesikhathi esithile, ubuze bangaphakathi nokungagculiseki kuzonaka [emphefumulweni]. -Idayari kaSt. Faustina,n. 1638
Inhliziyo yakho injengesitsha. Uma uya kuMthendeleko inhliziyo yakho ibheke phezulu, ivulekile, futhi ilungele ukwamukela, uJesu uzowugcwalisa ngomusa omningi. Kepha uma ungakholelwa ukuthi ukhona noma uxakeke ngezinye izinto, kufana nokuthi inhliziyo yakho ibheke phezulu… nazo zonke izibusiso abengakunika zona zisuke enhliziyweni njengamanzi endishini ebheke phansi.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, uma umphefumulo ucwile esonweni esibi futhi esingaxolelwe, imiphumela yokwamukela uJesu ekulesi simo ingaba mibi kakhulu kunokumane ulahlekelwe ukuthula:
Umuntu kufanele azihlole, ngakho-ke adle isinkwa aphuze nenkomishi. Ngoba noma ngubani odla futhi aphuze ngaphandle kokuqonda umzimba, uzidlela futhi aziphuzele ukwahlulela yena. Kungakho abaningi phakathi kwenu begula futhi begula, futhi isibalo esikhulu sifa. (1 Kor. 11:27)
Ukuzihlola kwethu kusho nokuxolela labo abasilimazile. Uma ungabathetheleli abanye, kusho uJesu, nawe ngeke uxolelwe (Math 6:15).
AmaKhatholika amaningi engiwaziyo angafakaza ngokuthula okumangalisayo okugcwalisa imiphefumulo yabo ngemuva kokuthola uMthendeleko oNgcwele, noma ukuchitha isikhathi noJesu kuKhuleka. Kungakho imiphefumulo efana neNceku kaNkulunkulu, uCatherine Doherty, eyayingathi, “Ngiphila kusuka eMiseni kuya eMiseni!"
Isidlo esingcwele siyangiqinisekisa ukuthi ngizonqoba; futhi kunjalo. Ngiyalusaba usuku lapho ngingatholi iSidlo Esingcwele. Lesi sinkwa seStrong singinikeza wonke amandla engiwadingayo ukuze ngiqhubeke nomsebenzi wami kanye nesibindi sokwenza noma yini iNkosi engicela kimi. Isibindi namandla akimi akuwona owami, kepha ngokaLowo ophila kimi – kunguMthendeleko. -Idayari kaSt. Faustina, n. 91 (hlola 1037)
JABULA INDODA
Uyajabula umuntu onembeza wakhe ongamsoli, ongalilahli ithemba. - USiraki 14: 2
Isono sifana nokuheha isifo senhliziyo esingokomoya. Isono sokufa sifana nokugxuma eweni, siletha ukufa empilweni yokomoya.
Ngibhalile kwenye indawo mayelana nomusa omangalisayo uNkulunkulu asinika wona ekuvumeni okungcwele. Kungokwangana nokuqabula kukaYise endodaneni noma kwendodakazi yolahleko ebuyela kuYe. njalo Ukuvuma izono kuyikhambi lokwesaba, ngoba “ukwesaba kuhlobene nokujeziswa” (1 Jn 4:18). Kunconywa uPapa John Paul II kanye noSt masonto onke ukuvuma.
UJesu ufuna ngenkani ngoba ufisela injabulo yethu. —UPOPA JOHN PAUL II
KWABAKHAWULELAYO
Izwi lesikhuthazo kulabo abalwa nobunzima: Ukuvuma izono kaningi akufanele kucatshangelwe njengesidingo sokupheleliswa umzuzu ngamunye. Ngabe ungaphelela ngempela? Uzokwenza kanjalo hhayi pheleliswa uze ube seZulwini, futhi uNkulunkulu kuphela ongakwenza ngaleyo ndlela. Esikhundleni salokho, iSakramente lika-R ukubuyisana linikezwa ukuze welaphe amanxeba esono futhi likusize sikhule ekupheleleni. Uyathandwa, noma wenza isono! Kepha ngoba uyakuthanda, ufuna ukukusiza unqobe futhi uqede amandla esono empilweni yakho.
Ungavumeli ukungapheleli kwakho kube imbangela yokudangala. Esikhundleni salokho, ithuba lokuba mncane futhi ube mncane, uye ufane nengane encike kuNkulunkulu: “babusisiwe abampofu.” Umbhalo uthi Akaphakamisi abaphelele, kepha abathobekile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lezi zono eziyingozi olwa nazo azihlukanisi noKristu.
Isono esiphikisayo asincishi isoni umusa wokungcwelisa, ubungane noNkulunkulu, isisa senhliziyo, futhi ngenxa yalokho injabulo yaphakade. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 1863
Yiba nokuzethemba-ke othandweni lwaKhe, futhi injabulo yangaphakathi nokuthula kuzoba ngokwakho ngaphandle kokubagijimela ekuvumeni izono njalo lapho wenza isono esikhulu (bheka inombolo 1458 kwiKhathekizima.) Ulimala kakhulu ngokungathembeli kwakho emseni waKhe kunokuba ngobuthakathaka bakho. Kungenxa yalokhu ukwamukela kwakho kokubili ubuthakathaka bakho futhi Isihe sakhe esikhiqiza a ubufakazi. Futhi kungenzwi lobufakazi bakho ukuthi uSathane unqotshiwe (bona IsAm 12:11).
UKUPHENDUKA KWANGEMPELA
Uyajabula umuntu onembeza wakhe ongamsoli. Kumuntu okholelwa eTestamenteni Elisha, le njabulo akusiyona eyami kuphela ngoba angitholanga sono kunembeza wami. Kunalokho, kusho ukuthi lapho ngenza isono, ngingaqiniseka ukuthi uJesu akangilahli (Johane 3:17; 8:11), nokuthi ngaye, ngingaxolelwa futhi qala futhi.
Lokhu akusho ukuthi sinelayisense lokuqhubeka nokona! Injabulo yangempela itholakala ku ukuphenduka okusho ukuthi akusikho ukuvuma isono kuphela, kodwa ukwenza konke uKristu asiyale ukuba sikwenze.
Bantwanyana, masithandeni ngesenzo nangeqiniso hhayi nje ukukhuluma ngakho. Le yindlela yethu yokwazi ukuthi sizinikele eqinisweni futhi sinokuthula phambi kwakhe… (1 Jn 3: 18-19)
Yebo, intando kaNkulunkulu ingukudla kwethu, umsebenzi wesikhashana ukuthula kwethu. Ngabe ufisa ukujabula?
Uma nigcina imiyalo yami, niyakuhlala othandweni lwami… Nginitshele lokhu ukuba intokozo yami ibe kini, nokuthokoza kwenu kuphelele. (Johane 15: 10-11)
Umuntu akakwazi ukuyithola leyo njabulo yeqiniso ayilangazelela ngamandla onke omoya wakhe, ngaphandle kokuthi agcine imithetho uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke ayiqophile esimweni sakhe uqobo. —I-POPE PAUL VI, I-Humanae Vitae, Encyclical, n. 31; Julayi 25, 1968
UKUQHAMUKA KWENJABULO
Isithelo sikaMoya oNgcwele “uthando, injabulo, ukuthula…” (Gal 5:22). Kuhlelo Ukuza kwePentekoste, kuleyo miphefumulo ebilinde noMariya egumbini eliphezulu lomkhuleko nokuphenduka, kuzoba khona ukuqhuma komusa emiphefumulweni yabo. Kulabo abesaba ushushiso kanye nezilingo ezizayo ezibonakala ziseduze, ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi lezizinto ziyoncibilika emlilweni kaMoya oNgcwele. Labo abalungisa imiphefumulo yabo manje ngomkhuleko, amaSakramente, nezenzo zothando, bazozwa ukuphindaphindeka komusa asebewuthola. Injabulo, uthando, ukuthula namandla uNkulunkulu azowathululela ezinhliziyweni zabo kuzonqoba izitha zabo.
Lapho uKristu eshunyayelwa khona ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele futhi wemukelwa ngomphefumulo ovulekile, umphakathi, noma ugcwele izinkinga, uba "ngumuzi wenjabulo". —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Ngasekhaya ngesikhathi sokugcotshwa kwabapristi abangama-29; IVictoria City, ngo-Ephreli 29, 2008; IZENIT News Agency
Ithemba alidumazi, ngoba uthando lukaNkulunkulu lutheliwe ezinhliziyweni zethu ngoMoya oNgcwele esimnikiwe. (Rom 5: 5)
Lapho uthando selukuxoshe ngokuphelele ukwesaba, futhi ukwesaba kuguqulwe kwaba uthando, khona-ke ubunye obulethwe nguMsindisi wethu buzogcwaliseka ngokuphelele… —USt. UGregory waseNyssa, umbhishobhi, Ngomusa esiHlabelelweni Sezihlabelelo; Imfundo yamahora, Umq. II, k. 957
