isilingo2 Isilingo ngu-Eric Armusik

I khumbula isimo esivela kwifilimu Ukukhathazeka KukaKristu lapho uJesu eqabula isiphambano ngemuva kokuthi basibeke emahlombe akhe. Lokho kungenxa yokuthi wayazi ukuthi ukuhlupheka Kwakhe kuzohlenga umhlaba. Ngokunjalo nabanye babangcwele eSontweni lokuqala bahambela ngamabomu eRoma ukuze babulawelwe ukholo, bazi ukuthi kuzosheshisa ukuhlangana kwabo noNkulunkulu.

Kepha kunomehluko phakathi kwe- izilingo futhi izilingo. Lokho kusho ukuthi, umuntu akufanele asheshe kakhulu ukufuna isilingo. ISt. James yenza umehluko ocashile phakathi kwalokhu okubili. Uqala athi,

Cabanga ngakho konke injabulobafowethu, lapho nihlangabezana nezilingo ezihlukahlukene, ngoba niyazi ukuthi ukuvivinywa kokholo lwenu kuveza ukubekezela. (Jakobe 1: 2-3)

Ngokufanayo, uPaul Paul wathi,

Bongani kuzo zonke izimo, ngoba lokhu kuyintando kaNkulunkulu ngani kuKristu Jesu. (1 Thes. 5:18)

Bobabili babona ukuthi intando kaNkulunkulu, noma ngabe ivezwa ngenduduzo noma incithakalo, yayihlala ingukudla kwabo, njalo kuyindlela eya ebunyeni obukhulu naYe. Ngakho-ke, uPawulu uthi, “Jabulani njalo.” ^[1]I-1 Thess 5: 16

Kepha uma kukhulunywa ngokulingwa, uJakobe uthi,

Ubusisiwe umuntu okhuthazela esilingweni, ngokuba lapho esefakazelwe yena uyakwamukela umqhele wokuphila awuthembisa labo abamthandayo. (Jakobe 1:12)

Empeleni, uJesu wasifundisa ukuthi sithandaze la mazwi, “Sihole hhayi ekulingweni, ”ngesiGreki okusho ukuthi“ masingangeni noma sinqotshwe isilingo. ” ^[2]Mat 6:13; isib. ICatechism yeSonto LamaKatolika (CCC), hhayi. 2846 Lokho kungenxa yokuthi Wazi kahle ukuthi isimo sokuwa somuntu, i- inkanuko okuhlala isikhathi eside, "kuyisici sesono." ^[3]CCC, 1264 Manje,

UMoya oNgcwele usenza sikwazi ukubona phakathi kwezilingo, ezidingekayo ekukhuleni komuntu wangaphakathi, nesilingo, esiholela esonweni nasekufeni. Kumele futhi sihlukanise phakathi kokulingwa nokuvumelana nesilingo. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 2847

Manje, leli phuzu lemvume libaluleke ngempela. Kepha okokuqala, ake siqonde isimo sesilingo. UJames uyabhala:

Akekho obhekene nesilingo okufanele athi, “Ngilingwa uNkulunkulu”; ngokuba uNkulunkulu akazithobeli ekulingweni kokubi, naye uqobo akalingi muntu. Kunalokho, umuntu ngamunye uyalingwa lapho eyengwa futhi eyengwa yisifiso sakhe siqu. Lapho-ke isifiso siyakhulelwa siveze isono, kuthi lapho isono sifinyelela ekuvuthweni sizalele ukufa. (EkaJakobe 1: 13-15)

Isilingo imvamisa sivela kubathathu abangahlanzekile "bomhlaba, inyama, noma uDeveli", kepha kulapho-ke sivuma kuphela ukuthi kuba yisono. Kepha nanka amanye amaqhinga amabi uDeveli, lowo "mmangaleli wabazalwane", awusebenzisayo ngaphezulu kwezilingo.

Okokuqala ukukwenza ucabange ukuthi isilingo sivela kuwe. Kuke kwaba nezikhathi lapho ngihambela phezulu ukuyokwamukela iSakramente Elibusisiwe, futhi ngokungazelelwe umcabango onobudlova kakhulu noma owonakele ungene ekhanda lami. Yebo, ngiyazi ukuthi lokho kuqhamukaphi futhi ngikushaye indiva. Kepha eminye imiphefumulo ingacabanga ukuthi lowo mcabango ungowabo, bese beqala ukulahlekelwa ukuthula kwabo, bezwe ukuthi ngabe kukhona okungahambi kahle ngabo. Ngale ndlela, uSathane uphazamisa umthandazo wabo, enza ukholo lwabo lube buthakathaka, futhi uma kungenzeka, ubayenga ukuba babe nomcabango, ngaleyo ndlela abenze bone.

USt. Ignatius waseLoyola wabelana ngalobu buhlakani,

Umcabango ufika kimi wokwenza isono esibulalayo. Ngimelana nalowo mcabango ngokushesha, futhi uyahlulwa. Uma umcabango ofanayo ofanayo ufika kimi futhi ngimelana nawo, futhi ubuya kaninginingi, nokho ngiyaqhubeka nokumelana nawo uze unqotshwe, indlela yesibili ihlonipheke kakhulu kunaleyo yokuqala. -Ibhukwana leMpi Engokomoya, UPaul Thigpen, k. 168

Kepha uyabona, uSathane angakukholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ucabanga ukuthi uyisinengiso futhi umubi, umuntu owesabekayo ngokuba nemicabango enjalo. Kepha izibalo zikaSt.Francis de Sales ezingakwazi lokho,

Zonke izilingo zesihogo azikwazi ukungcolisa umphefumulo ongazithandi. Akusikho njalo emandleni omphefumulo ukungazizwa isilingo. Kepha kusemandleni ayo ngaso sonke isikhathi ukungavumi kuyo. —Ibhid. 172-173

Icebo lesibili likaSathane ukutshela umphefumulo osuqale ukuwela esonweni ukuthi angaqhubeka kuwo. Ubeka amanga engqondweni yomuntu, “Sengonile. Kumele ngiye ku- Confession manje noma kunjalo…. Ngingaqhubeka nokuqhubeka. ” Kepha nanka amanga: lowo ovumela isono kodwa abese ephenduka masinyane, akhombise uthando lwakhe ngoNkulunkulu olufanelwe ukuthethelelwa, kepha nomusa omkhulu. Kodwa lowo oqhubeka esonweni, alahlekelwe yileyo miusa, futhi avumele isono ukuba sifinyelele ekuvuthweni, kufana nomuntu othi, “Ngishise isandla sami kulo mlilo. Ngingavele ngiwuyeke ushise umzimba wami wonke. ” Lokho wukuthi, bavumela isono silethe ukufa okuningi ngaphakathi noma eduze kwabo kunokuba babemile. Isandla esishisiwe kulula ukusiphulukisa kunomzimba oshile. Lapho uphikelela kakhulu esonweni, kulapho inxeba liya lijula khona, futhi kulapho uziqinisa khona ngokuya kwezinye izono, futhi wandisa inqubo yokwelashwa.

Nakhu lapho kufanele ubambe khona ukholo njengesihlangu. Uma uwela esonweni, vele uthi, “Nkosi, ngiyisoni, umphefumulo obuthakathaka futhi uthambile. Yiba nomusa ungixolele. Jesu, ngithemba wena. ” Bese ngokushesha ebuyela ekudumiseni uNkulunkulu, enze intando yaKhe futhi amthande kakhulu, angazinaki izinsolo zomsolwa. Ngale ndlela, uzokhula ekuthobekeni futhi ukhule ekuhlakanipheni. Futhi, njengoba uJesu asho kuSt. Faustina kulabo abaye `` bayishaya '':

… Ungalahli ukuthula kwakho, kodwa zithobe ngokujulile phambi Kwami futhi, ngokuzethemba okukhulu, uzicwilise ngokuphelele emuseni Wami. Ngale ndlela, uzuza ngaphezu kwalokho okulahlekile, ngoba kunikezwa umusa omkhulu kumuntu othobekile kunomphefumulo uqobo ucela… —UJesu kuSt. Faustina, Divine Mercy in My Soul, Diary, n. 1361

Okokugcina, iqhinga lesithathu ukuthi uSathane akukhombise ukuthi unamandla amakhulu kunalokho anakho, akwenze wesabe noma ulahlekelwe ukuthula kwakho. Ukuthi uma ubeka okhiye bakho endaweni engafanele, ushise ama-noodle, noma ungatholi indawo yokupaka, ukuthi “kunguDeveli doin” lapho, empeleni, kungekho ndawo yokupaka ngoba kukhona ukuthengisa okuhle kuphela. Bafowethu nodadewethu, ningamniki udumo uSathane. Ungambandakanyi engxoxweni. Esikhundleni salokho, "bonga kuzo zonke izimo", futhi owe ngokuziqhenya nangokuhlubuka uyobalekela ukuthobeka nobumnene bakho ngaphambi kwentando kaNkulunkulu.

ISIFINYEZO NOMBHALO

Bhekana ne- izilingo ngentokozo, nezilingo ngesibindi kodwa ngokuzithoba. Ngoba "Siyizoni, kodwa asazi ukuthi kukhulu kangakanani" (iSt. Francis de Sales).

Ngakho-ke yilowo nalowo othi umi, akaqaphele ukuba angawi. Asikho isilingo esidlule kuwe esingejwayelekile kumuntu. UNkulunkulu uthembekile, futhi ngeke akuvumele ukuba ulingwe ngokungaphezu kwamandla akho, kodwa kanye nalesi silingo uyokunika nendlela yokuphunyuka, ukuze ukwazi ukusibekezelela. (1 Kor 10: 12-13)
