UKUVUSELELWA KWELENTEN
Usuku 32
THE ukuqala komkhuleko ngukuthi isifiso, sifisa ukuthanda uNkulunkulu, oye wasithanda kuqala. Isifiso “ilambu lokushayela” eligcina isibani somkhuleko sikhanya, ngaso sonke isikhathi silungele ukuxubana ne “propane” kaMoya oNgcwele. Nguye owokhela, aphile, futhi agcwalise izinhliziyo zethu ngomusa, asenze sikwazi ukuqala ukwenyuka, ngeNdlela kaJesu, siye ebunyeni noBaba. (Futhi-ke, uma ngithi "ubunye noNkulunkulu", engikushoyo ukubumbana kwangempela nangempela kwezintando, izifiso, nothando okunjengokuthi uNkulunkulu uhlala ngokuphelele nangokukhululeka kuwe, nawe ukuYe). Futhi-ke, uma uhlale nami isikhathi eside kangaka kule Lenten Retreat, angingabazi ukuthi ukukhanya komshayeli wenhliziyo yakho kukhanyisiwe futhi kulungele ukuqhuma ilangabi!
Engifuna ukukhuluma ngakho manje akuyona indlela yokukhuleka, kepha okuyisisekelo kunoma ikuphi ngokomoya, ngoba kuhambelana nemvelo yethu yomuntu: umzimba, umphefumulo nomoya. Lokho wukuthi, umthandazo kufanele uhlanganyele ngezikhathi ezahlukahlukene zemizwa yethu, imicabango, ukuqonda, ukuqonda, nentando yethu. Kufaka phakathi isinqumo sethu sokwazi nokwazi "Thanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangayo yonke ingqondo yakho, nangawo onke amandla akho." [1]Maka i-12: 30
Singumzimba nomoya, futhi sithola isidingo sokuhumusha imizwa yethu ngaphandle. Kumele sithandaze ngawo wonke amandla ethu ukuze sinikeze wonke amandla okuba khona ekunxuseni kwethu. -ICatechism yeSonto LamaKatolika (CCC), hhayi. 2702
Ngakho-ke,
Isiko LobuKristu ligcine izinkulumo ezintathu ezinkulu zomkhuleko: ukuzwakala, ukuzindla nokucabangisisa. Banenkambiso eyodwa eyisisekelo efanayo: ukuzinza kwenhliziyo. -CCC, hhayi. 2699
Lezi zinkulumo ezintathu ze Okhulumayo kuNkulunkulu, ngicabanga zikaNkulunkulu, futhi looking kuNkulunkulu konke kusebenza ekukhanyiseni, ekukhuliseni nasekuqiniseni amalangabi omthandazo ukuze kugcwaliswe "ibhaluni" - inhliziyo — ngothando lukaNkulunkulu.
Ukukhuluma noNkulunkulu
Uma ucabanga ngabashadikazi abasebasha abathandanayo, noma nini lapho behlangana, bayashintshana ngothando amagama. Emthandazweni wezwi, sikhuluma noNkulunkulu. Siqala ukumtshela ukuthi Muhle kanjani (lokho okubizwa ngokuthi indumiso); siyabonga ukuthi Uyasihlangabeza futhi uyasibusisa (ukubonga); bese siqala ukumvulela izinhliziyo zethu, sabelane ngezinto ezisikhathazayo kanye nokuncenga Kwakhe.
Umkhuleko ozwakalayo yilowo "ovutha" okokheleza inhliziyo, noma ngabe ngumkhuleko we-Liturgy, ukuphindwaphindwa kweRosari, noma ukumane usho ngokuzwakalayo igama lika "Jesu." Ngisho neNkosi yethu yathandaza ngokuzwakalayo, futhi yasifundisa ukuthi sisho i Baba wethu. Manje…
Ngisho nomkhuleko wangaphakathi… awukwazi ukungawunaki umthandazo wezwi. Umkhuleko ufakwa ngaphakathi kuze kube sezingeni lokuthi simazi "sikhuluma naye" ngakho-ke umthandazo wezwi uba uhlobo lokuqala lomthandazo ocabangayo. -CCC, hhayi. 2704
Kepha ngaphambi kokuthi sibheke ukuthi uyini umthandazo ocabangayo, ake sihlole lokho okubizwa ngokuthi “umthandazo wengqondo” noma ukuzindla, okungukuthi ngicabanga KaNkulunkulu.
Ukucabanga ngoNkulunkulu
Lapho umbhangqwana uqala ukuthandana, uqala ukucabanga ngomunye nomunye ngaso sonke isikhathi. Emthandazweni, lokhu ngicabanga ubizwa ngokuthi ukuzindla. Ngomkhuleko wezwi, ngikhuluma noNkulunkulu; emiBhalweni, noma eminye imibhalo yokomoya, uNkulunkulu ukhuluma nami. Lokho kusho ukuthi ngiqala ukufunda nokulalela lokho uNkulunkulu akushoyo enhliziyweni yami (lectio Divina). Kusho ukuthi umkhuleko uyayeka ukuba a uhlanga ukukuqeda, kepha manje a ukuphumula kuwo. Ngiphumula kuNkulunkulu ngokuvumela amandla aguqulayo eZwi laKhe eliphilayo angene enhliziyweni yami, akhanyise ingqondo yami, futhi ondle umoya wami.
Khumbula, phambilini eRetreat, ngakhuluma "ngomuntu wangaphakathi", njengoba uSt. Paul ekubiza kanjalo; lempilo yangaphakathi kuKristu edinga ukondliwa nokunakekelwa ukuze ikhule ekuvuthweni. Ngoba uJesu wathi,
Umuntu akaphili ngesinkwa sodwa, kodwa nangawo wonke amazwi aphuma emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu. (Math 4: 4)
Ukuze abe "nelangabi" anele ukugcwalisa ibhaluni lomoya elishisayo, kufanele uvule i-propane. Ukuzindla kunjalo; wamukela uMoya oNgcwele ukuthi ungene enhliziyweni yakho, akufundise, futhi akuholele eqinisweni, elizokukhulula. Futhi-ke, njengoba iCatechism isho, "Ukuzindla kuyisifiso." [2]CCC, hhayi. 2705 Uqala ukuba njalo “Siguqulwe ngokuvuselelwa kwengqondo yakho.” [3]I-Rom 12: 2
Ngokwezinga lapho sithobeke futhi sithembekile khona, lapho sizindla khona sithola ukunyakaza okushukumisa inhliziyo futhi sikwazi ukukubona. Kuwumbuzo wokwenza iqiniso ukuze ungene ekukhanyeni: “Nkosi, ufuna ngenzeni?” -CCC, hhayi. 2706
Funa ukufunda futhi uzothola ekuzindleni; ngqongqoza ngomkhuleko ozowavulelwa ngokucabanga. —UGuigo waseCarthusian, Scala Paradisi: PL 40,998
Ukubheka uNkulunkulu
Lapho izithandani sezazana ngokukhuluma, ukulalelana nokuchitha isikhathi sindawonye, amagama abe esevamise ukufakwa “uthando oluthule”, ngokubuka okulula kodwa okujulile emehlweni omunye. Ukubukeka okubonakala sengathi kufana nokuxuba izinhliziyo zabo ndawonye.
Emthandazweni, yilokhu okubizwa ngokuthi ukuzindla.
Ukucabanga ngamehlo okholo, agxile kuJesu. “Ngiyambheka naye uyangibuka”… -CCC, 2715
Futhi lokhu kubukeka kukaJesu kuyilokho uyashintsha thina ngaphakathi-njengoba kwaguqula uMose ngaphandle.
Kwakuthi lapho uMose engena phambi kukaJehova ukuba akhulume naye, asuse umgubuzelo ebusweni bakhe aze aphume futhi; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babona ukuthi isikhumba sobuso bukaMose siyakhazimula. (Eksodusi 34: 34-35)
Njengoba nje uMose engenzanga lutho ukufanela lokhu kukhanya, kanjalo nasebudlelwaneni besivumelwano esisha noNkulunkulu, ukucabanga “kuyisipho, umusa; singamukelwa kuphela ngokuthobeka nangobumpofu. ” [4]CCC, hhayi. 2713 Ngoba…
Umkhuleko ocabangayo uyinhlanganyelo lapho uZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele efanisa khona umuntu, umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu, “ukufana naye.” -CCC, hhayi. 2713
Ekucabangeni, i-valve "propane" ivulekile kakhulu; ilangabi lothando livutha phezulu futhi liyakhanya, futhi inhliziyo iqala ukwanda ngaphezu kwamandla omuntu alinganiselwe njengoba ihlanganiswe nenhliziyo kaNkulunkulu, ngaleyo ndlela iphakamisela umphefumulo endaweni yasesiteji lapho ithola khona ubumbano Naye.
ISIFINYEZO NOMBHALO
Umkhuleko ozwakalayo, wokuzindla nokuzindla uyasihlanza futhi usilungiselele ukuMbona ubuso nobuso, manje, naphakade.
