THE ukubhujiswa, lokho esinye isakhamuzi sendawo esangichaza kimi ngokuthi "ubukhulu bebhayibheli". Ngangivuma nje ngithule ngishaqekile ngemuva kokubona umonakalo weSiphepho uKatrina.
Lesi siphepho senzeke ezinyangeni eziyisikhombisa ezedlule – emasontweni amabili kuphela ngemuva kwekhonsathi yethu eViolet, ngamamayela ayi-15 eningizimu yeNew Orleans. Kubukeka sengathi kwenzeke ngesonto eledlule.
EKUSENI IMisa, iNkosi yaqala ukukhuluma nami mayelana "neqembu"
Okunamathiselwe ezintweni, kubantu, noma emibonweni kusenza singakwazi ukukhuphuka njengokhozi ngoMoya oNgcwele; kudaka umphefumulo wethu, kusivimbe ekuboniseni iNdodana ngokuphelele; igcwalisa izinhliziyo zethu ngokunye, kunokuba kugcwalise uNkulunkulu.
Ngakho-ke iNkosi ifisa ukuba sisuswe kuzo zonke izifiso ezingaphezulu, hhayi ukusivimbela ekuzijabuliseni, kodwa ukusifaka injabulo yezulu.
Ngakuqonda ngokucace kakhudlwana ukuthi isiphambano ukuphela kwendlela yomKristu. Kunezinduduzo eziningi ekuqaleni kohambo lobuKristu oluqotho – i "honeymoon", ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso. Kepha uma umuntu efuna ukuthuthukela empilweni ejule kakhulu ebunyeni noNkulunkulu, kudinga ukuzilahla - ukwamukela ukuhlupheka nokuzincisha (sonke siyahlupheka, kepha yeka umehluko lapho sikuvumela ukuba kubulale ukuthanda kwethu ).
Ngabe uKristu wayengakasho lokhu?
Unless a grain of what falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.–Johane 12: 24
Ngaphandle kokuthi umKristu amukele iziphambano zempilo, uzohlala eyinsana. Kodwa uma efa ngokwakhe, uzothela izithelo eziningi. Uzokhula abe sesilinganisweni esigcwele sikaKristu.
KUPHELA ubusuku bokuqala bomsebenzi wesifunda saseSt. Gabriel, LA:
UJESU uyaqhubeka nokungithumela emasontweni angenalutho… kodwa kukhona okungenani eyodwa yezimvu ezilahlekile. Lokhu ngiqinisekile ngakho.
Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn't leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?–Luka 15: 4
AT izikhathi uNkulunkulu ubonakala ekude kakhulu…
Kepha Akayona. UJesu wathembisa ukuhlala nathi kuze kube sekupheleni kwesikhathi. Kunalokho, ngicabanga ukuthi kunezikhathi lapho esondela khona kakhulu ekukhanyeni Kwakhe okuguqulwe isimo, lowo mphefumulo womuntu uyakhwifa uze uvale amehlo. Ngakho-ke, sicabanga ukuthi sisebumnyameni, kanti akunjalo. Umphefumulo uphuphuthekiswe Uthando uqobo.
Kunezinye izikhathi futhi lapho umuzwa wokushiywa ufika ngenxa yezilingo ezimbi. Lokhu futhi kuyindlela yothando lukaKristu, ngoba ngokuvumela lesi siphambano esithile, Usilungiselela nethuna esizovuka kulo.
Futhi yini okufanele ife? Ukuzikhethela.
KODWA singakwazi ngempela ukundiza siye ezulwini ngokukhushulwa nje kokholo (bona okuthunyelwe izolo)?
Cha, kufanele futhi sibe namaphiko: Uthando, okuwukusebenza kothando. Ukholo nothando kuyasebenzisana, futhi imvamisa enye ngaphandle kwenye isishiya siboshwe umhlaba, siboshwe ngamaketanga kumandla adonsela phansi wentando yakho.
Kepha uthando lukhulu kunakho konke lokhu. Umoya awukwazi ukuphakamisa itshe emhlabathini, kanti-ke, i-jumbo fuselage, enezimpiko, ingakhuphukela emazulwini.
Futhi kuthiwani uma ukholo lwami lubuthakathaka? Uma uthando, olukhonjiswa ekusebenzeleni umakhelwane wakho luqinile, uMoya oNgcwele uza njengomoya onamandla, usiphakamise lapho ukukholwa kungakwazi.
If I have faith to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.–St. UPawulu, 1 Kor 13
Ukududuzwa, imizwa efudumele, okuhlangenwe nakho okungokomoya, imibono, njll konke kufana nophethiloli wokwenza umuntu awele phansi komgwaqo. Kepha leyo nto engabonakali ibizwa ukholo kungukuphela kwamandla angaphakamisela umuntu ezulwini.
Uyakuma kuze kube phakade njengenyanga,
nanjengofakazi othembekile ezulwini. (IHubo 59:57)
KAKHULU ebusuku lapho ngibheka phezulu enyangeni, kwaqhamuka umcabango emqondweni wami. Izindikimba zasezulwini zifanekisa okunye okungokoqobo…
UMary uyinyanga ekhombisa iNdodana, uJesu. Yize iNdodana ingumthombo wokukhanya, uMary ubuye ambuyisele kithi. Futhi simzungezile izinkanyezi ezingenakubalwa – abaNgcwele, esikhanyisa umlando naye.
Kwesinye isikhathi, uJesu ubukeka sengathi "uyanyamalala," ngale kokuhlupheka kwethu. Kepha akasishiyanga: okwamanje ubonakala enyamalala, UJesu usevele egijimela kithi emkhathizwe omusha. Njengophawu lobukhona Bakhe nothando, Usishiyile noMama Wakhe. Akawasebenzisi amandla eNdodana yakhe anikeza impilo; kodwa njengomama oqaphelayo, ukhanyisa ubumnyama, asikhumbuze ukuthi UngukuKhanya Komhlaba… nokuthi angalokothi angabaze isihe Sakhe, noma ngabe kumnyama kubomvu.
Ngemuva kokuthola leli "gama elibukwayo", lo mbhalo olandelayo wagijimisa okwenkanyezi yokudubula:
A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.–ISambulo 12: 1
NGIVELE ngingene egumbini lami lokuthandazela, futhi indodana yami yesithathu uRyan, ovele wahlanganisa iminyaka emibili, wayemi ezinzwaneni zakhe ezincanyana ezama ukwanga izinyawo zesiphambano. Uvele wahlanganisa iminyaka emibili… Ngakho ngamphakamisa futhi ngambamba lapho ukuze angange. Wama kancane, wase ephendula ikhanda lakhe waqabula isilonda ngasohlangothini lukaKristu.
Ngaqala ukuthuthumela futhi ngafikelwa umunyu. Ngabona ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele wawungena ujule ngaphakathi kwendodana yami, engakwazi nokwakha umusho, ukuze iduduze uKristu, obheke umhlaba owile osezongena ku-Passion yawo.
UJesu yiba nomusa. Siyakuthanda.
TWO ezinsukwini ezedlule, ngabhala ngothingo lwenkosazana lukaNowa — uphawu lukaKristu, ukuKhanya komhlaba (bheka Isibonakaliso Sesivumelwano.) Kunengxenye yesibili kuyo nokho, eyafika kimi eminyakeni eminingana eyedlule ngenkathi ngiseMadonna House eCombermere, e-Ontario.
Lolu thingo lufinyelela umvuthwandaba futhi lube yimisebe eyodwa yokuKhanya okukhanyayo okuhlala iminyaka engama-33, eminyakeni engaba ngu-2000 eyedlule, kuJesu Kristu. Njengoba kudlula eSiphambanweni, ukuKhanya kuhlukaniseka ngemibala eyizinkulungwane futhi. Kepha kulokhu, uthingo alukhanyisi isibhakabhaka kepha izinhliziyo zesintu.
NGAPHAMBILI i-Divine Liturgy (iMisa lase-Ukraine) ngesikhathi seLente, sonke singena ephaseji eliseceleni kwesihlalo, kuyilapho umpristi efunda umthandazo othi: “Njengoba usuhluphekile, Nkosi Jesu Kristu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, sihawukele.” Bese wonke umuntu eguqa ngamadolo akhothame ngobuso phansi. Lokhu kuculwa kathathu – isenzo esihle sokuthobeka nokukhuleka.
Namuhla ekuseni, ngenkathi umpristi eqala ukusho lo mkhuleko, ngezwa enhliziyweni yami ukuthi ngizwa kanjani ngokushesha ukuthi ingelosi yami engilondolozayo iyakhuluma: "Bengilapho. Ngimbonile ehlupheka. ”
Ngakhothamisa ubuso bami, ngakhala.
NKULUNKULU amahlamvu, njengesibonakaliso sesivumelwano sakhe noNowa, a U-rainbow esibhakabhakeni.
Kodwa kungani uthingo?
UJesu ungukukhanya kwezwe. Ukukhanya, lapho kuqhekeziwe, kugqama ngemibala eminingi. UNkulunkulu wayesenzile isivumelwano nabantu bakhe, kodwa ngaphambi kokuba uJesu eze, uhlelo lukamoya lwalusaphuliwe—ephukile—Kuze kufike uKristu waqoqela zonke izinto kuye wazenza “munye”. Ungasho ukuthi i- Cross yi-prism, indawo yokuKhanya.
Lapho sibona uthingo, kufanele silubone njenge uphawu lukaKristu, Isivumelwano Esisha: i-arc ethinta izulu, kepha nomhlaba… okufanekisela isimo sikaKristu esinezinto ezimbili, zombili ophezulu futhi womuntu.
In all wisdom and insight, he has made known to us the mystery of his will in accord with his favor that he set forth in him as a plan for the fullness of times, to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth.-Kwabase-Efesu, 1: 8-10
UKUZWA ukuhudula inyama yami emva kweSidlo, nganginomfanekiso wokuba semaphethelweni ehlathi eliminyene kakhulu nelasendulo….
Ngangikwazi ukuhamba phakathi kwehlathi elimnyama, ngangibhajwe emagatsheni nasemivinini. Kodwa-ke, ukukhanya kwangesikhathi esithile kweSonlight kwahlaba amahlamvu, kwageza ubuso bami esifudumaleni. Ngaso leso sikhathi, umphefumulo wami waqiniswa, nesifiso soku Inkululeko kwakunzima.
Yeka indlela engifisa ngayo ukufinyelela emathafeni avulekile, ihlane elimangelengele lapho inhliziyo igijimela khona futhi isibhakabhaka singenamkhawulo!
… Ngibe sengizwa ukuhleba, okubonakala kuqhutshwa kushaft yokuKhanya:
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."KANINGI singena eLenteni ngomuzwa wokwesaba – ukwesaba ukuzidela kokuzibulala.
Ngicabanga ukuthi yindlela okusanhlamvu okuzizwa ngayo njengoba kungcwatshwe ngaphansi komsele, noma isibungu njengoba sifakwa yikhokho, noma umququ njengoba uvinjelwe ngaphansi kweqhwa lasebusika.
Kodwa yeka ukuthi kudabukisa kanjani uma imbewu ibingabeka phezu komsele, bese imuka nomoya! Noma isibungu sinqabe umfece futhi singalokothi sivuke ngamaphiko! Noma izinhlanzi zibalekela amanzi aneqhwa bese ziminyaniswa yiqhwa!
O Mphefumulo, wamukele lesi Siphambano phambi kwakho. Kukhona Uvuko ngale kwethuna!
KONKE usuku, ngezwa ukuthi iNkosi ingithandazela ukuthandaza. Kepha ngasizathu simbe isikhathi sami sokuthandaza esijwayelekile sakhishwa kwaze kwaba phakathi kwamabili. “Kufanele ngithandaze noma ngilale? … Kuzoba ngovivi. ” Nganquma ukuthandaza.
Umphefumulo wami wagcwala injabulo enjalo, ukuthula okunjalo. Lokho inhliziyo yami ebingakuphuthelwa ukube ngiyeke umcamelo wami!
UJesu usilindile, ulangazelela ukusigcwalisa ngothando olungachazeki nezibusiso. Njengoba sibamba isikhathi sokudla kwakusihlwa, kufanele sibeke isikhathi sokuthandaza.
Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.–Johane 15: 5
UJESU wathi "iqiniso lizokukhulula."
The kuqala Iqiniso elisikhululayo ukuqashelwa hhayi kuphela kwesono sethu, kodwa nokwethu ukungabi nasizo. Ukuvuma ubumpofu bakho, ukungabi nalutho komuntu, ukudala indawo enhliziyweni engagcwaliswa ngengcebo kaNkulunkulu nokugcwala kwakhe.
Empeleni kuyakhulula ukuvuma ukuthi umuntu uyisigqila; ukuphilisa ukuvuma ukuthi umuntu ulimele.
Kumele sisibone isidingo sokwamukela ubuthakathaka bethu namandla kaNkulunkulu, kanye nokubakhombisa emhlabeni. - UCatherine Doherty, Incwadi Yezisebenzi
LAPHO kube izikhathi ezimbalwa kuleli sonto eledlule lapho bengishumayela, ukuthi ngivele ngethuka kakhulu. Umqondo enganginawo wawungathi nginguNowa, ememeza esezingeni lomkhumbi: "Ngena! Ngena! Ngena Emuseni KaNkulunkulu!"
Kungani ngizizwa ngale ndlela? Angikwazi ukukuchaza… ngaphandle kokuthi ngibona amafu esiphepho, ekhulelwe futhi evunguza, ehamba ngokushesha emkhathizwe.
KUPHELA inkulumo yanamuhla e Izinsuku Zokukholwa Zothisha ze-Okotoks:
“Njengoba ngihambile kulo lonke elaseCanada, sekucacile ukuthi: okwenza isikole sibe“ yiKhatholika ”akulona igama eliboshelwe eceleni kwesikole; futhi akuyona isitatimende senqubomgomo yenkolo yesifunda sesikole; futhi akuzona izinhlelo zokomoya eziqalwa yibhodi lesikole noma uthishanhloko. Yini eyenza izikole zibe ngamaKhatholika ngempela––umKristu ngempela- Ngumoya kaJesu ohlala kubasebenzi kanye nakubafundi. ”
ISIKHATHI-kuyashesha? Abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi kunjalo. Lokhu kufike kimi ngenkathi ngizindla:
I-MP3 yifomethi yengoma lapho umculo ucindezelwa khona, kepha ingoma izwakala ifana futhi iseyinde ubude. Lapho uyicindezela ngokwengeziwe, noma kunjalo, yize ubude buhlala bunjalo, ikhwalithi iqala ukonakala.
Ngokunjalo futhi, kubonakala sengathi isikhathi siyacindezelwa, noma izinsuku zilingana ngokulingana. Futhi lapho becindezelwa ngokwengeziwe, kulapho kuba khona ukonakala kokuziphatha, kwendalo, nokuhleleka komphakathi.
Kwesinye isikhathi, umuntu umpofu kakhulu, ubuthakathaka yikhona kuphela ongakunikeza: “O Jesu, yilokhu engiyikho, ngaphandle kobuthakathaka nobumpofu. Yilokhu kuphela enginakho ukukunika okungokwami ngokweqiniso. Kodwa ngisho nalokhu ngiyakunika. ”
"Lo nguyena engimthokozelayo: indoda ephansi nephukile othuthumela ngezwi lami." (U-Isaya 66: 2)
"Ngihlala phezulu, futhi nangobungcwele, kanye nabacindezelekile nabadangele emoyeni." (U-Isaya 57: 15)
“INkosi iyabalalela abampofu, kazilahli izinceku zayo emaketangeni.” (IHubo 69: 34)
KUNGANI asikwazi yini ukuzinikela ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu? Kungani singenzi ubungcwele kube yinto yethu eyodwa? Kungani sibambelela kulokhu noma kuleyo nto, sazi ukuthi singajabula kakhulu uma siyidedela?
We kumele phendula lokhu. Futhi lapho sikwenza, kufanele sibeke iqiniso phambi Kwakhe, bese silivumela liqale ukusikhulula.

UKUFUNDA kusuka ku-Divine Liturgy kuleli sonto kuhlale nami:
UNkulunkulu walinda ngokubekezela ezinsukwini zikaNowa ngesikhathi kwakhiwa umkhumbi. (1 Petru 3:20)
Umqondo wukuthi sikuleso sikhathi lapho umkhumbi usuphothuliwe, futhi kungekudala. Uyini umkhumbi? Ngenkathi ngibuza lo mbuzo, ngabheka phezulu kusithonjana sikaMariya ……… impendulo yabonakala sengathi isifuba sakhe ngumkhumbi, futhi uqoqela insali kuye, ukuze azitholele uKristu.
Futhi kwakunguJesu owathi uzobuya “njengasezinsukwini zikaNowa” futhi “njengasezinsukwini zikaLoti” (Luka 17:26, 28). Wonke umuntu ubheke isimo sezulu, ukuzamazama komhlaba, izimpi, izinhlupho nodlame; kepha ingabe siyakhohlwa yizimpawu "zokuziphatha" zezikhathi uKristu abhekisele kuzo? Ukufundwa kwesizukulwane sikaNowa nesizukulwane sikaLoti – nokuthi amacala abo kwakungamuphi – kufanele kubukeke kungajwayelekile kahle
Amadoda ayakhubeka ngeqiniso ngezikhathi ezithile, kepha iningi lawo liyazithatha futhi liphuthume ngokungathi akwenzekanga lutho. -Winston Churchill
IF Kuphela saqonda ukuthi yini elahlekile lapho sizivumela ukuthi sibanjwe imfoloko ngababili abebephambene ukuziqhenya.
I-prong eyodwa iyazivikela: "Anginaphutha, noma kubi njengoba usho." I-prong yesibili ukuphelelwa yithemba: "Angisizi ngalutho, ngiyisehluleki esiyize." Ezimweni zombili (imvamisa i-prong yesibili ilandela eyokuqala), umuntu usebenzisa amandla amakhulu efihla iqiniso lomuntu eliyisisekelo: isidingo sikaNkulunkulu.
Ukuthobeka kungumqhele womKrestu. Isitha senza konke okusemandleni aso ukusivimbela ukuba size phambi kukaNkulunkulu ngezono zethu zangempela, ukwehluleka, namaphutha esimilo. Ukwethembeka okunjalo kuvuzwa nguNkulunkulu, futhi kuyindida ukuthi kube yisitsha samandla.
Inqobo nje uma udeveli ekugcina kwimfoloko yakhe, amandla agcinwa evulekile, futhi umqhele wakho ushiywe engcebweni kaNkulunkulu.

“Uthethelelwe izono zakho…. Vuka uthathe uhlaka lwakho, uye ekhaya. ”
UBUKRISTU akuyona imibono; kuyinto ubuso.
Futhi ubuso bunjalo Love.

Kepha "i-hobbit" eyodwa kwakuyingane emoyeni kuphela, futhi impilo yakhe namazwi akhe kukhanye kakhulu emhlabeni wonke, ngisho nasemathunzini amnyama:
Manje sesimi lapho sibhekene nengxabano enkulu yomlando esidlule kuyo isintu.

Yes, repentance is more than penitence. It is not remorse. It is not just admitting our mistakes. It is not self-condemnation: "What a fool I've been!" Who of us has not recited such a dismal litany? No, repentance is a moral and spiritual revolution. To repent is one of the hardest things in the world, yet it is basic to all spiritual progress. It demands the breaking down of pride, self-assurance, and the innermost citadel of self-will.(UCatherine de Hueck Doherty, UKiss of Christ)
