Ngesikhathi Neziphazamiso

UKUVUSELELWA KWELENTEN
Usuku 35

OF Yebo, esinye sezingqinamba ezinkulu nokubukeka njengokungezwani phakathi kwempilo yomuntu yangaphakathi nezidingo zangaphandle zobizo lomuntu, isikhathi. “Anginaso isikhathi sokuthandaza! Ngingumama! Anginaso isikhathi! Ngisebenza usuku lonke! Ngingumfundi! Ngiyahamba! Ngiphethe inkampani! Ngingumfundisi wesifunda esikhulu… Anginaso isikhathi!"

Umbhishobhi wake wathi kimi wonke umpristi ayemazi owayeshiye ubupristi, wayesekho kuqala washiya impilo yakhe yokuthandaza. Isikhathi uthando, futhi lapho sima ukuthandaza, siqala ukuvala i-“propane” valve kaMoya oNgcwele ebhebhethekisa ilangabi lothando lukaNkulunkulu nomakhelwane. Lapho-ke uthando olusezinhliziyweni zethu luqala ukuphola, bese siqala ukwehla okudabukisayo sibheke endizeni yasemhlabeni yezinkanuko zomhlaba nezifiso ezimbi. Njengoba uJesu asho,

Bangabantu abezwa izwi, kepha izinkathazo zomhlaba, ukuheha kwengcebo, nokulangazelela ezinye izinto kuyaliphazamisa, kuliminyanise izwi, kungatheli zithelo. (Marku 4: 18-19)

Ngakho-ke, kufanele simelane nalesi silingo hhayi ukuthandaza. Ngokufanayo, singakanani isikhathi esisichitha emthandazweni okufanele sihambisane nesimo sethu sempilo. Lapha, iSt. Francis de Sales inikeza ukuhlakanipha okungaphelelwa yisikhathi:

Ngenkathi uNkulunkulu edala umhlaba wayala isihlahla ngasinye ukuthi sithele izithelo ngezinhlobo zaso; futhi noma kunjalo ubiza amaKrestu — izihlahla eziphilayo zeBandla Lakhe — ukuthi ziveze izithelo zokuzinikela, ngasinye ngohlobo lwaso nangokwemisebenzi yaso. Kudingeka ukuzivocavoca okwehlukile komunye nomunye — ohloniphekile, ingcweti yomsebenzi, inceku, isikhulu, intombi nentombi; futhi ngaphezu kwalokho umkhuba onjalo kufanele ushintshwe ngokwamandla, ukubizwa, kanye nemisebenzi yomuntu ngamunye. Ngiyakubuza, ngane yami, ngabe kufanelekile ukuthi uMbhishobhi afune ukuhola impilo eyedwa yomuntu waseCarthusian? Futhi uma ubaba womndeni ebengenandaba nokwenza ikusasa njengeCapuchin, uma ingcweti ibichitha usuku esontweni njengeNkolo, uma owenkolo ezibandakanye nakuzo zonke izinhlobo zebhizinisi egameni lomakhelwane wakhe njengoMbhishobhi okudingeka kwenziwe, ngabe ukuzinikela okunjalo bekungeke kube yinto ehlekisayo, engalawulwa kahle, nengabekezeleleki? -Isingeniso se-Devout Life, Ingxenye I, Ch. 3, ikhasi 10

Umqondisi wami wezomoya wake wathi kimi, “Okungcwele akuhlali kungcwele ngaso sonke isikhathi wena.”Ngempela, indlela eyiqiniso nengaphelele yobungcwele yi intando kaNkulunkulu. Yingakho kufanele siqaphele ukuthola, ngosizo lukaNkulunkulu, indlela yethu uqobo yokwenza the Indlela uma kukhulunywa ngempilo yangaphakathi. Kufanele silingise ubuhle babaNgcwele; kepha uma kukhulunywa nge yakho impilo yomkhuleko, landela uMoya oNgcwele ozokuholela endleleni efaneleke kakhulukazi esimeni sakho sempilo yamanje.

Kulokhu, sisingatha kanjani ukuphazamiseka nokuphazamiseka Ngaphakathi isikhathi somthandazo, ikakhulukazi njengabazali abanezingane ezincane, noma lapho kukhala ucingo, noma kufika othile emnyango? Futhi, landela indlela engenaphutha yentando kaNkulunkulu, umsebenzi wesikhashana, "umthetho wothando." Okusho ukuthi, landela UJesu.

… Wasuka… ngesikebhe waya endaweni engenabantu bebodwa. Kwathi izixuku zikuzwa lokho, zamlandela ngezinyawo zivela emizini. Njengoba ephumela ogwini wabona isixuku esikhulu; waba nesihe ngabo, waphulukisa abagulayo babo. (Math 14: 13-14)

Yiqiniso, kufanele senze konke okusemandleni ethu ukukhetha isikhathi lapho kungenzeka kakhulu hhayi uphazanyiswe.

Ukukhethwa kwesikhathi nobude bomkhuleko kuvela entandweni enqunyiwe, kwembula izimfihlo zenhliziyo. Umuntu akenzi umthandazo ocabangayo kuphela uma umuntu enesikhathi: umuntu wenza isikhathi seNkosi, ngokuzimisela okuqinile ukungadikibali, noma ngabe ubhekana naziphi izivivinyo nokoma. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 2710

Uma sisodwa noNkulunkulu, kufanele sigcine iziphazamiso njengamaselula, i-imeyili, ithelevishini, umsakazo, njll. Kepha uma inabukeni lidinga ukuguqulwa, noma uma oshade naye efuna usizo, noma umngani engqongqoza emnyango edinga ukukhuluma, khona-ke qaphela ubuso bukaJesu kubo, uza kuwe efihla ubumpofu bomunye, isidingo somunye. Ukupha kulo mzuzu kuzosebenzela ukwandisa iLangabi Lothando enhliziyweni yakho, hhayi ukukuqeda. Futhi-ke, uma kungenzeka, buyela futhi emthandazweni wakho bese uwuqedela.

Akududuzi yini ukwazi ukuthi uJesu naye waphazanyiswa abanye? Uma kukhulunywa ngobunzima emthandazweni, thina babe iNkosi eqonda ngokuphelele.

Ngoba yena uqobo wavivinywa ngalokho ahlupheka ngakho, unamandla okusiza abavivinywayo. (Heb 2:18)

Vele, ubunzima obunzima kakhulu uma bungebuhlungu bomthandazo yi ingqondo iziphazamiso ezisihlaselayo njengoba sizama ukuthandaza, kungaba ngasese noma eMiseni. Lokhu kungaba ukubonakaliswa kwezinkanuko zethu, noma izilingo ezivela emandleni obumnyama. Indlela yokubhekana nazo imvamisa ukungabhekani nazo nhlobo.

Ubunzima obejwayelekile emthandazweni ukuphazamiseka… Ukuqalisa ukuzingela iziphazamiso kungaba ukuwela ogibeni lwabo, lapho konke okudingekayo ukubuyela ezinhliziyweni zethu: ngoba isiphazamiso sikhombisa lokho esikunamathele kukho, futhi lokhu kuthobekile Ukwazi phambi kweNkosi kufanele kuvuse uthando lwethu olukhethekile ngaye futhi kusiholele ngokuqinile ekunikeleni kuye inhliziyo yethu ukuba ihlanzwe. Yilapho kukhona impi, ukukhetha ukuthi iyiphi inkosi oyisebenzisayo. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 2729

Nasi isihluthulelo: kungenzeka ukuthandaza, noma uphakathi kwezinto eziphazamisayo, ngoba indawo yethu “eyimfihlo” yokuhlangana neNkosi isekujuleni kwenhliziyo. Bayeke bangqongqoze emnyango… ungavuli nje. Kungenzeka futhi, "ukuthandaza njalo", noma singakwazi ukuthandaza sisodwa, ngokwenza umsebenzi wesikhashana — ngisho nezinto ezincane kakhulu — ngothando olukhulu. Bese umsebenzi wakho uba ngumkhuleko. Inceku kaNkulunkulu uCatherine Doherty uthe kubazali ikakhulukazi, 

Khumbula ukuthi uma wenza umsebenzi wesikhashana, wenza okuthile ngoKristu. Umenzela ikhaya, endaweni lapho kuhlala umndeni wakho. Uyamondla lapho wondla umndeni wakho. Uwasha izingubo zakhe lapho uwasha izingubo. Umsiza ngezindlela eziyikhulu njengomzali. Lapho-ke, lapho kufika isikhathi sokuba uvele phambi kukaKristu uzokwahlulelwa, uzothi kuwe, “ngangilambile wangipha ukudla. Ngangomile futhi wangiphuzisa. Ngangigula futhi ninginakekela. ” -Bazali Abathandekayo, kusukela kukhalenda elithi “Moments of Grace”, Mashi 9

Okungukuthi, wayengasho kanjani ukuthi udebesela ukuba Naye emthandazweni, kanti empeleni wawumnakekela?

Ngakho-ke, noma imimoya ebandayo yokuphazamiseka ihlasela 'ibhaluni' lenhliziyo yakho, ayikwazi ukungena ngaphakathi, okusala kuthule futhi kufudumele — ngaphandle kokuthi uyakuvumela. Futhi ngaleyo ndlela, kwesinye isikhathi umthandazo, obonakala ujikijelwa ngapha nangapha yile mimoya, ungahlala uthela ngokugcina nje "ukukhanya komshayeli" kwesifiso kukhanya, isifiso sokwenza intando yaKhe kukho konke. Ngakho-ke, singasho kuNkulunkulu ukuthi:

Ngifuna ukukhuleka ngicabange, Baba, kodwa isixuku esikhulu sisemnyango wenhliziyo yami. Ngakho-ke njengamanje, yazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda, bese ubeka “izinkwa zami ezinhlanu nezinhlanzi ezimbili” zami — okusho ukuthi, isifiso sami — kubhasikidi we-Immaculate Heart of Mary, ukuze uzandise ngokwentando yakho enhle.

Umuntu akakwazi ukuzindla njalo, kepha umuntu angangena njalo emthandazweni wangaphakathi, ngaphandle kwezimo zempilo, umsebenzi, noma isimo somzwelo. Inhliziyo iyindawo yalokhu kufuna nokuhlangana, ebuphofwini nasokholweni. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 2710

ISIFINYEZO NOMBHALO

Isikhathi esisinikela emthandazweni kufanele silingane nomsebenzi wethu. Iziphazamiso esizibekezelelayo ziyithuba lokufakazela ukuthi siyayithanda iNkosi.

Kwase kulethwa kuye abantwana ukuba abeke izandla phezu kwabo, athandaze. Abafundi bakhuza abantu; kodwa uJesu wathi, “Bayekeni abantwana beze kimi, futhi ningabenqabeli; ngoba umbuso wezulu ungowabanjalo. ” Wabeka izandla phezu kwabo, wamuka. (Math 19: 13-14)
