Ekupheleleni kobuKristu

UKUVUSELELWA KWELENTEN
Usuku 20

 

OLUNYE ungathola ukuthi lo ngumBhalo osabisa kakhulu futhi odumaza eBhayibhelini.

Yibani ngabaphelele, njengoba noYihlo osezulwini ephelele. (Math 5:48) 

Kungani uJesu asho into enjalo kubantu nje abanjengami nabalwayo nsuku zonke ngokwenza intando kaNkulunkulu? Ngoba ukuba ngcwele njengoNkulunkulu kungcwele lapho mina nawe sizoba njalo ejabule kakhulu.

Cabanga nje uma umhlaba ubungazulazula ngezinga elilodwa nje. Ososayensi bathi kungaphonsa isimo sezulu nezinkathi zethu ezinxushunxushwini, futhi izingxenye ezithile zomhlaba zingahlala ebumnyameni isikhathi eside kunezinye. Kanjalo futhi, lapho mina nawe senza isono esincanyana kunazo zonke, siphonsa ukulingana kwethu ekungalinganeni nasezinhliziyweni zethu ebumnyameni obukhulu kunokukhanya. Khumbula, asizange sidalelwe isono, asikaze sidalelwe izinyembezi, asikaze sidalelwe ukufa. Ukubizelwa ebungcweleni ubizo lokuthi umane ube yilokho obekudalelwe ukuba ube yikho, udalwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu. Futhi ngoJesu, manje kungenzeka ukuthi iNkosi ibuyise injabulo esake sayazi eNsimini yase-Edene.

USt Faustina wayephila kakhulu ngendlela isono esincane kunazo zonke esasicasula ngayo injabulo yakhe kanye nenxeba elincane ebudlelwaneni bakhe neNkosi. Ngolunye usuku, ngemuva kokwenza iphutha elifanayo futhi, weza esontweni.

Ngiwa ezinyaweni zikaJesu, ngothando nangobuhlungu obukhulu, ngaxolisa eNkosini, ngaba namahloni kakhulu ngenxa yokuthi engxoxweni yami Naye ngemuva kweSidlo Esingcwele namhlanje ekuseni ngangithembise ukuthembeka kuYe . Ngabe sengizwa la mazwi: Ukube kwakungekho ngenxa yalokhu kungapheleli okuncane, wawungeke uze Kimi. Yazi ukuthi njalo lapho uza kimi, uzithobe futhi ucela intethelelo Yami, ngithulula umusa omkhulu kakhulu emphefumulweni wakho, nokungapheleli kwakho kuyanyamalala phambi kwamehlo Ami, futhi ngibona kuphela uthando lwakho nokuthobeka kwakho. Awulahlekelwa yilutho kepha uzuza okuningi… -Isihe SikaNkulunkulu Somphefumlo Wami, Idayari, n. 1293

Lokhu kungukushintshana okuhle okukhombisa futhi ukuthi iNkosi iguqula kanjani ukuthobeka kwethu kube ngumusa, nokuthi "uthando lumboza inqwaba yezono," njengoba kusho uSt. ^[1]isib. 1 Pet. 4:8 Kepha futhi wabhala:

Njengabantwana abalalelayo, maningalingisi izinkanuko zokungazi kwenu kwasekuqaleni, kepha njengalowo owanibizayo engcwele, nani yibani ngcwele kukho konke ukuziphatha kwenu, lokhu kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Yibani ngcwele, ngokuba mina ngingcwele; ” (1 Pet. 1: 14-16)

Siphila esikhathini sokuyekethisa okukhulu lapho wonke umuntu manje eyisisulu, akunjalo? Asisekho izoni, izisulu nje zofuzo, izisulu zamahomoni, izisulu zemvelo yethu, izimo zethu njalonjalo. Yize lezi zinto zingadlala indima ekwehliseni icala lethu esonweni, lapho sizisebenzisa njengezaba, zinomphumela wokugeza umhlophe umthwalo wethu wokuphenduka futhi sibe yindoda noma owesifazane uNkulunkulu asenza ukuba sibe yikho — ukuthi Yena wafela esiphambanweni ukwenza kwenzeke. Lo mqondo wesisulu uphendulela abaningi, okungcono kakhulu, ekubeni yimiphefumulo esivivi. Kodwa uSt. Faustina wabhala:

Umphefumulo ongalaleli uzibeka ebubini obukhulu; ngeke inqubekela phambili ekupheleleni, futhi ngeke iphumelele empilweni yokomoya. UNkulunkulu ubeka umusa waKhe ngokukhululekile emphefumulweni, kepha kufanele kube ngumphefumulo olalelayo.  -Isihe SikaNkulunkulu Somphefumlo Wami, Idayari, n. 113

Eqinisweni, bafowethu nodadewethu, wubudedengu bezinto ezincane ezigcina zisiphuphuthekisa kokukhulu, ngaleyo ndlela siphonsa izinhliziyo zethu ebumnyameni obukhulu kunokukhanya, ukungahlaliseki okuningi kunokuthula, ukunganeliseki ngokwengeziwe kunenjabulo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izono zethu zisitha ukukhanya kukaJesu ekukhanyeni ngathi. Yebo, ukuba ngcwele akukhona nje kuphela ngami — kumayelana nokuba wukukhanya ezweni elonakele.

Ngolunye usuku, uFaustina wabhala ukuthi iNkosi ifisa kangakanani ukuphelela kwemiphefumulo:

Imiphefumulo ekhethiwe, isesandleni Sami, izibani engiziphonsa ebumnyameni bomhlaba engikhanyisa ngazo. Njengoba izinkanyezi zikhanyisa ubusuku, kanjalo nemiphefumulo ekhethiwe ikhanyisa umhlaba. Futhi lapho umphefumulo uphelele ngokwengeziwe, kunamandla futhi kufinyelela kude lapho ukukhanya kukhanyiswa ngawo. Ingafihlwa futhi ingaziwa, ngisho nakulabo abasondelene nayo kakhulu, kepha nokho ubungcwele bayo bubonakala emiphefumulweni nasezindaweni ezikude kakhulu zomhlaba. -Isihe SikaNkulunkulu Somphefumlo Wami, Idayari, n. 1601

Wena, abafowethu nodadewethu, yibo imiphefumulo ekhethiwe ngalesi sikhathi emhlabeni. Angingabazi ngalokhu. Uma uzizwa umncane futhi ungakwazi, khona-ke kunesizathu esengeziwe sokuthi ukhethwe (bona Ithemba liyasa). Siyibutho elincane le- UGideyoni Omusha. ^[2]bheka UGideyoni Omusha futhi Ukuhlolwa Le Lenten Retreat imayelana nokukuhlomisa ukuze uqale ukukhula ekupheleleni ukuze ukwazi ukuthwala iLangabi Lothando, onguJesu, ebumnyameni obukhulayo bezikhathi zethu.

Uyazi okufanele ukwenze manje lapho ukhubeka futhi uwe, futhi lokho kuphendukela esiheni sikaKristu ngokuthembela okuphelele, ikakhulukazi ngeSakramente Lokuphenduka. Kepha engxenyeni yokugcina yale Lenten Retreat, sizogxila kakhulu ekutheni singazivikela kanjani ekuweleni esonweni, ngomusa Wakhe. Futhi lokhu kuyisifiso Sakhe futhi, ngoba uJesu wayesethandazile kuYise….

… Ukuze babe munye, njengalokhu thina simunye, Mina kubo, nawe kimi, ukuze bapheleliswe babe munye… (Johane 17: 22-23)
