THE umzimba uhlala udinga umthombo wamandla, ngisho nemisebenzi elula njengokuphefumula. Kanjalo nomphefumulo unezidingo ezibalulekile. Ngakho-ke, uJesu wasiyala:
Thandaza njalo. (Luka 18: 1)
Umoya udinga impilo engaguquguquki kaNkulunkulu, ngendlela amagilebhisi adinga ngayo ukulengiswa emvinini, hhayi kanye ngosuku noma ngeSonto ekuseni ihora. Amagilebhisi kufanele abe semvinini “ngokungapheli” ukuze avuthwe avuthwe.
THANDAZA NJALO
Kodwa kusho ukuthini lokhu? Uthandaza kanjani njalo? Mhlawumbe impendulo eyokuqala ukubona ukuthi asikwazi ukuthandaza kanye ngosuku ngokungaguquguquki, ingasaphathwa eyokuyeka. Izinhliziyo zethu zehlukene futhi izingqondo zethu zihlakazekile. Sivame ukuzama ukukhonza uNkulunkulu noMamona. Njengoba uJesu athi uBaba ufuna labo abazomkhonza ngoMoya nangeqiniso, umkhuleko wami kumele ngaso sonke isikhathi uqale ngeqiniso: Ngiyisoni edinga umusa Wakhe.
… Ukuthobeka kuyisisekelo somkhuleko… Ukucela intethelelo kuyisidingo sazo zombili uMthendeleko Wezinkonzo noMthandazo womuntu siqu -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 2559, 2631
Njengoba ngibhale okokugcina (bona Ngomkhuleko), umkhuleko UBU budlelwano noNkulunkulu. Ngifuna ukucela intethelelo ngoba ngibuhlukumezile ubudlelwano. Futhi uNkulunkulu uyakujabulela ukubusisa ukwethembeka kwami ngokungathetheleli Kwakhe kuphela kepha nangomusa omkhulu wokuqwala i- Intaba Yokholo ngakuye.
ISINYATHELO ESINYE NGESIKHATHI
Noma kunjalo, ngithandaza kanjani ku- konke izikhathi?
Impilo yomkhuleko umkhuba wokuba sebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu ongcwele kathathu kanye nokuhlangana naye. -CCC, n. 2565
Umkhuba yinto eqala ngesinyathelo sokuqala, bese kuba esinye, kuze kube yilapho umuntu ekwenza ngaphandle kokucabanga.
Asikwazi ukuthandaza “ngasosonke isikhathi” uma singathandazi ngezikhathi ezithile, ngokuzithandela. -CCC, n. 2697
Njengoba ubamba isikhathi sokudla kwakusihlwa, nawe udinga ukubamba isikhathi sokuthandaza. Futhi, umthandazo uyimpilo yenhliziyo — ingukudla komoya. Umphefumulo ungaphila ngaphandle komkhuleko njengoba nje umzimba ungaphila ngaphandle kokudla.
Sekuyisikhathi sokuthi thina maKrestu sicishe ithelevishini! Imvamisa asinaso isikhathi sokuthandaza ngoba sihlatshelwe "unkulunkulu onehlo elilodwa" phakathi kwegumbi lokuphumula. Noma ithole elibunjiwe silibiza ngokuthi "ikhompyutha." Uma ngikhuluma iqiniso, lawa mazwi aphuma kimi njengesexwayiso (bona, Phuma eBabiloni!). Kodwa isimemo somkhuleko asilona usongo; kuyisimemo kuThando!
Ngiyaphinda, njengoba uqeda isikhathi sokudla kwakusihlwa, udinga ukubamba isikhathi somkhuleko.
Uma ungathandazi njalo, qala namhlanje ngokuthatha imizuzu engama-20-30 ukuze ube neNkosi. Mlalele ngemiBhalo njengoba uyifunda. Noma zindla ngempilo yaKhe ngemikhuleko ka- iRosari. Noma thatha incwadi ngempilo kasanta noma ebhalwe ngusanta (ngincoma kakhulu Isingeniso se-Devout Life nguSt. Francis de Sales) bese uqala ukufunda kancane, ume isikhashana lapho uzwa iNkosi ikhuluma nawe enhliziyweni yakho.
Kunezindlela eziyinkulungwane zokwenza lokhu Indlela. Into esemqoka ukuthi ukhethe okukodwa bese uqala ukuthandaza ngokusuka enhliziyweni, isinyathelo esisodwa ngesikhathi, usuku olulodwa ngesikhathi. Nakhu okuzoqala ukwenzeka…
IMIBUZO YOKUKHUTHAZELA
Njengoba uqhubeka nokuhola impilo yakho phakathi umsebenzi wesikhashana kanye nokuqapha imiyalo kaNkulunkulu, okulungile Ukwesaba uNkosi, umkhuleko uzodonsela emphefumulweni wakho umusa owudinga ukukuthwala uye phezulu uye phezulu eNtabeni. Uzoqala ukuzwa izindawo ezintsha namathafa we Ukuqonda, ephefumula okusha nokumnandi Ulwazi kaNkulunkulu, futhi ikhula isuka emandleni iya emandleni, ikhula ngo amandla. Uzoqala ukuphatha Ukuhlakanipha.
Ukuhlakanipha kuyisipho sikaMoya esivumelana nengqondo yakho nesikaKristu ukuze ucabange njengaye futhi uqale ukuphila njengaye, ngaleyo ndlela ubambe iqhaza empilweni Yakhe engaphezu kwemvelo ngezindlela ezijulile nezijulile. Le mpilo engaphezu kwemvelo ibizwa kanjalo Ukuzinikela.
Umphefumulo onjalo, okhanya ngokukhanya kukaJesu, ubese ukwazi ukukhanyisa kangcono indlela eya kubafowabo nodadewabo abalandela ngemuva kwakhe, ebakhokhela ezindaweni ezijwayele ukukhohlisa nakumawa amakhulu. Lokhu kubizwa Iseluleko.
Umkhuleko awugxile kakhulu kulokho okunikeza uNkulunkulu kunalokho uNkulunkulu afuna ukukunika kona. UnguMuphi Wezipho ezivela kumgcinimafa weNhliziyo Yakhe, ezivulekele wena esiphambanweni. Futhi ufisa kangakanani ukukuthela kuwe!
Celani, khona niyakuphiwa; funa uzothola; ngqongqothani futhi niyovulelwa umnyango. Ngoba wonke umuntu ocelayo, uyamukela; nalowo ofuna, uyathola; nalowo ongqongqozayo, uyovulelwa umnyango. Ngubani kini ongathi uma ecela isinkwa, noma inyoka, acele inhlanzi, ayinike indodana yakhe itshe? Uma-ke nina, enikhohlakele, nikwazi ukunika abantwana benu izipho ezinhle, kakhulu kangakanani uYihlo osezulwini uzobapha izinto ezinhle labo abamcelayo. (Math 7: 7-11)
