LAPHO uhlelo olukhulu kakhulu ngemuva kweLenten Retreat iningi lenu elihlanganyele kulo. Ukubizelwa kuleli hora emthandazweni ojulile, ukuvuselelwa kwengqondo, nokwethembeka eZwini likaNkulunkulu empeleni kuyinto ukulungiselela Ukubusa—Ukubusa koMbuso kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni njengasezulwini.
UNGAVUMELI UKUTHI UBUBI BUKUPHazamise
Kwakungu-2002, ngenkathi ngishayela emgwaqeni omude enyakatho yeCanada, lapho ngizwa la magama ngokuzuma:
Ngiphakamise isibambi.
Ngangingazi ukuthi lokhu kusho ukuthini. Kepha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ngalobo busuku, ngavula ibhayibheli lami ngqo ku-2 Thesalonika Isahluko 2 lapho likhuluma khona ngesikhathi sokweqa umthetho okwakuzofika, esikhulu ukuhlubuka lokho kungafinyelela ekusebenzeni kwe- ongenamthetho uma uNkulunkulu esuse “umbambi.” Umbhishobhi waseCanada wangicela ukuthi ngibhale ngalokhu, ukuze ufunde kabanzi ngalokhu lapha: Ukususa Isithintelo.
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, sibheke okubonakalayo Ukuqhuma yenkohlakalo cishe kuzo zonke izici zomphakathi wesintu. Lokho ukusho lokho ukweqa umthetho, ikakhulukazi ukungabi namthetho okwahlulelwa, akuvinjelwe kulelihora (bheka Ihora Lokungabi Namthetho).
Kepha lalelani, bafowethu nodadewethu abathandekayo, uma ukungabi namthetho kuzokwanda kuphela futhi ububi bube yisimo somuntu uqobo cishe kuzo zonke izimo ongazicabanga, njengoba sekuvele kunjalo… kusizuzeni ukusibuka sisebusweni? Ngoba ukusebenzisa isikhathi sakho sokuphumula ucabanga ngobubi kuzoguqula ingqondo yakho: kusuka kolunye ukwesaba kuye kolunye. Cha, kufanele kucatshangwe ikhambi eliqinisekile lomoya wokuphikisa ukristu uJesu. Futhi lokho kwakuyinto yeLenten Retreat yethu.
Kepha manje, phakamisela amehlo akho emkhathizwe, ubone ukuthi yini okuzayo… i ukubusa kukaJesu.
INKATHI YOTHANDO
Kule minyaka eyikhulu edlule, umgubuzelo ubulokhu uphakama kakhulu njengoba uNkulunkulu ethumela izithunywa—abaphurofethi, ukusisiza siqonde lokho osekuvele kwembulwe kusambulo saphezulu kanye nesiko elingcwele, kepha okungakaqondakali kahle.
… Noma ngabe iSambulo sesivele siphelele, asizange senziwe sicace ngokuphelele; kusala okholweni lobuKristu kancane kancane ukukuqonda ngokugcwele ukubaluleka kwalo ngokuqhubeka kwamakhulu eminyaka.-Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 66
Omunye waleyo miphefumulo, iNceku kaNkulunkulu uLuisa Piccarreta, ngokulalela, wabhala imiqulu yamazwi kaKrestu awakhulunywa kuye, izambulo ezijula ekujuleni kwenhliziyo Yakhe nothando olujulile ngesintu — uthando oluzophinde lwenziwe inkathi ezayo:
Ah ndodakazi yami, lesi sidalwa sihlala sigijimisana kakhulu nokubi. Mangaki amacebo wencithakalo abalungiselela! Bazofinyelela kude ukuze bazikhandlele ebubini. Kepha ngenkathi bematasa ngokuhamba indlela yabo, Ngizohlala mathupha ngokugcwaliswa kanye nokugcwaliseka Kwami I-Fiat Voluntas Tua (“Intando yakho mayenziwe”) ukuze intando Yami ibuse emhlabeni-kepha ngendlela entsha. Ah yebo, ngifuna ukudida umuntu othandweni! Ngakho-ke, lalelisisa. Ngifuna ukuba nami ngilungiselele le Era ye-Celestial and Divine Divine… —UJesu waya Encekwini KaNkulunkulu, uLuisa Piccarreta, Imibhalo Yesandla, Feb 8th, 1921; kucashunwe kusuka Ubukhazikhazi bendalo, UMfu Joseph Iannuzzi, ikhasi 80
Kungani uJesu asifundisa ukuthandaza, “Umbuso wakho mawuze, Intando yakho mayenziwe emhlabeni njengasezulwini” uma bekungenjalo? Yebo, usuku ngalunye kungaba njalo… kepha iNkosi futhi ihlose ukuthi kube njalo kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba.
Futhi leli vangeli lombuso lizoshunyayelwa emhlabeni wonke njengobufakazi ezizweni zonke, khona-ke ukuphela kuyofika. (Math. 24:14)
Ngoba Intando Yaphezulu ifana nembewu ethwala ngaphakathi kuyo amandla okudala akhulelwa, aqhutshwa, futhi andisa uMhlaba. Ngaphezu kwalokho, Intando Yaphezulu yaba ukuba yinyama: uLizwi waba yinyama ukuze umhlaba owile ukwazi ukudonselwa ebuntwini bukaJesu Kristu futhi wenziwe musha ngokuphelele. Ngakho-ke, ngokuzihlanganisa nathi kule Nyama Eyenziwe NgeZwi, ngamunye wethu angaba yisidalwa esisha, futhi ngokuguqulwa kwawo wonke umzimba kaKristu, iSonto, indalo uqobo ibiyozwa amandla akhululayo eSiphambano…
… Ngethemba lokuthi indalo uqobo izokhululwa ebugqilini bokonakala futhi ihlanganyele enkululekweni ekhazimulayo yabantwana bakaNkulunkulu. Siyazi ukuthi yonke indalo ibubula ngezinhlungu zokubeletha kuze kube manje… (Rom 8: 21-22)
Ngakho-ke, okuza phezu komhlaba akusona isiphelo; akukhona ukuphela kwezwe emhlabeni uSathane namaphakethe akhe kubonakala bezimisele ukukuletha. 
Esikhundleni salokho, ukuqhakaza komnduze weSiphambano, ekugcineni kwembula zoMlobokazi kaKristu ngokulungiselela ukubuya kukaJesu ngenkazimulo kanjalo “Ukuze ethule kuye isonto ngobuhle, lingenabala noma mibimbi noma yini enjalo, ukuze libe ngcwele futhi lingabi nasici.” [1]I-Eph 5: 27 USt.John Paul II ukhulume ngalomusa ozayo iSonto elizothweswa lona umqhele ngaphambi kokuphela kwesikhathi:
UNkulunkulu uqobo wayehlinzeke ukuletha ubungcwele “obusha nobaphezulu” lapho uMoya oNgcwele ufisa ukucebisa khona amaKristu ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yesithathu, ukuze “enze uKristu abe yinhliziyo yomhlaba.” —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Ikheli Elibhekiswe kubaba beRogationist, n. 6, www.vatican.va
UKULUNGISELELA UKUBUSA
Ngakho-ke, “izinhlungu zokubeletha” zalesi sikhathi samanje, ezizokhathaza zonke izizwe, zimane nje zilungiselela ukubusa kukaJesu Kristu kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba lapho ezoba “yinhliziyo yomhlaba”. Ukusebenza ngomzimba kaKristu futhi nguMama wethu, uMlamuli womusa, uMfazi weSambulo 12 okhulelwe futhi olungele ukuzala Konke UKristu, okungukuthi, oweZizwe kanye nomJuda. Uyasebenza kule "sikhathi somusa" ukuze sithole "umusa womusa":
Kungumusa wokungifundisa uMzimba, wokuphila nokukhula emphefumulweni wakho, ungalokothi uwushiye, ube nakho futhi uphathwe nguwe njengasentweni eyodwa. Yimina engiwudlulisela emphefumlweni wakho ngokuvumelanisa okungenakuqondwa: kungumusa wezinto zobuso… Kungumanyano wemvelo efanayo nowenhlanganiso yezulu, ngaphandle kwalapho epharadesi iveyili efihla ubunye uyanyamalala… —UJesu KuConchita Ohloniphekile, Umqhele kanye nokuqedwa kwayo Yonke Imisebenzi, nguDaniel O'Connor, k. 11-12; nb. Ronda Chervin, Hamba nami, Jesu
Esikhuluma ngakho lapha akukhona ukuthi ukuhlubuka kwasendulo kwe Millenarianism noma amagatsha awo (bheka IMillenarianism — Iyini, futhi ayikho). Futhi akukhona ukuza kukaJesu enyameni yakhe ekhazinyulisiwe ekupheleni kwesikhathi, kodwa ukuza kukaJesu ukuzobusa kwabangcwele Bakhe ngendlela entsha, kepha nokho kusuka kokuhle futhi 
izipho ezisebenza kahle azinikeze iSonto, okungukuthi, amaSakramente. Lokhu kwaqinisekiswa yiMagisterium kuTheological Commission yango-1952
Uma ngaphambi kwalesosiphelo kuzobakhona inkathi yobungcwele bokunqoba, isikhathi esithe xaxa noma esingaphansi, umphumela onjalo awuyikulethwa ukubonakala komuntu kaKristu eKhaya kodwa ngokusebenza kwalawo mandla okungcweliswa manje kusebenza, uMoya oNgcwele namaSakramente eBandla. -Imfundiso yeSonto LamaKhatholika: Isifingqo seMfundiso yamaKhatholika, ILondon Burns Oates & Washbourne, k. 1140, evela kuTheological Commission yango-1952, okuwumbhalo weMagistri. [2]Njengoba umsebenzi ocashuniwe unezimpawu zokuvunywa kweSonto, okungukuthi, i- sokunyatheliswa futhi hhayi obstat, kungukuzivocavoca kweMagisterium. Lapho umbhishobhi ngamunye enikeza isikhulu umthetho weSonto, futhi uPapa noma umgwamanda wababhishobhi bengavumelani nokunikezwa kwalolu phawu, kungukusebenzisa iMagisterium ejwayelekile.
Ngakho-ke, uma uKristu ezoba "yinhliziyo yezwe" ngaphambi kokuphela kwezinto zonke, empeleni Inhliziyo Yakhe eyakubusa kuze kube semkhawulweni womhlaba. Inhliziyo Engcwele kaJesu, okuphume kuyo insindiso yesintu, iyiqiniso futhi iyiqiniso Umthendeleko. Empeleni, ukuhlala eNtandweni Engcwele ukuhlala eZwini likaNkulunkulu; futhi uJesu uyi IZwi lenziwa inyama, Lowo owathi:
Mina ngiyisinkwa esiphilayo esehle ezulwini; lowo odla lesi sinkwa uyophila kuze kube phakade; futhi isinkwa engizosinikela yinyama yami yokuphila impilo yezwe. (Johane 6:51)
Impilo yomhlaba kufanele kube uMthendeleko, njengoba nje nenhliziyo yomuntu iyi ukuphila lomzimba. Khumbula amazwi kaKristu: "Ukudla kwami ukwenza intando yalowo ongithumileyo nokuqeda umsebenzi wakhe." [3]John 4: 34 Njengoba uJesu 'eyiZwi likaYise', uMthendeleko kanye kanye uyiNtando Yaphezulu, evezwe kahle phakathi kwethu. Futhi-ke,
UMthendeleko “ungumthombo nengqungquthela yempilo yobuKrestu”… Ngoba kuMthendeleko obusisiwe kuqukethe konke ukulunga okungokomoya kweBandla, okunguKristu uqobo, iPhasika lethu. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 1324
Uma uzibuza ukuthi ubunye babantu bakaNkulunkulu buzokwenzeka kanjani esikhathini kuze 
woza, ungabheki ngaphezu kweTabernakele.
UMthendeleko uyisibonakaliso esisebenzayo nesibabazekayo salokho kuhlanganyela empilweni yobunkulunkulu kanye nalobo bunye Babantu bakaNkulunkulu iSonto eligcinwa lukhona kubo. Kungumvuthwandaba wesenzo sikaNkulunkulu sokungcwelisa umhlaba kuKristu kanye nokukhulekelwa kwabantu okunikelwa kuKristu ngaye ngaye kuYise ngoMoya oNgcwele. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 1325
Ukulungiselela ukubusa kukaJesu, okuza ngemuva kokubusa okufushane kwalowo "ongenamthetho", ngokusho koFata beSonto bokuqala, [4]isib. IsAm 20: 1-6; bheka Indlela Isikhathi Esalahleka Ngayo akuyona indaba yokwakha ukukhonza okusha noma izindlela ezintsha zokuthandaza. Esikhundleni salokho, ukuphendukela kuYe lapho ekhona, lapho, kwiSakramente elibusisiwe. Kungukuvuselela uthando olujulile nolomlilo lukaJesu okulindele nsuku zonke esifundeni sakho. Ukulandela i- izindlela eziyisikhombisa ngaphakathi kwama-Beatitudes ukuze hlanza inhliziyo futhi sikulungiselele ukwamukela iNkosi ngokugcwele. Mayelana nalokhu, ubizo lweLenten Retreat lwethu empilweni yangaphakathi yomkhuleko kumane nje kungukuqhubeka kothando lwethu nokumdumisa Lowo esimthola e-altare. Kungukukhulumisana naYe owaye "khona" kepha manje "ulapha" ngaphakathi kimi. Kukumthwala futhi, njengo itabernakele eliphilayo, kuwo wonke umuntu engihlangana naye ukuze abone, azi, futhi aluthole uthando nomusa waKhe ngami. Lolu thando nokuzinikela kuMthendeleko, okuyiNhliziyo Engcwele kaJesu, kuyindlela eqinisekile yokulungiselela ukubusa kwakhe.
Lokhu kuzinikela kwakuwumzamo wokugcina wothando lwaKhe ayezolunika abantu kule minyaka yokugcina, ukuze abasuse embusweni kaSathane ayefisa ukuwubhubhisa, futhi ngaleyo ndlela abangenise enkululekweni emnandi yokubusa kwaKhe. uthando, ayefisa ukulubuyisela ezinhliziyweni zabo bonke labo okufanele bakwamukele lokhu kuzinikela. —USt. UMargaret Mary, www.sacredheartdevotion.com
Futhi-ke, kungukulungiselela okuthile okuyimiphefumulo embalwa kuphela - ikakhulukazi uMama Obusisiwe - eseyazile, kepha abaningi abasazokwazi… uma lungiselela ukubusa:
YiBungcwele obungakaziwa, futhi engizokwazisa ngabo, obuzobeka umhlobiso wokugcina, ube muhle kakhulu futhi ubonakale phakathi kwazo zonke ezinye izinto ezingcwele, futhi ube ngumqhele nokuqedwa kwazo zonke ezinye izindawo ezingcwele. —UJesu waya Encekwini KaNkulunkulu, uLuisa Piccarreta, Imibhalo Yesandla, Feb 8th, 1921; kucashunwe encwadini ethi The Splendor of Creation, uMfu Joseph Iannuzzi, k. 118
… Nsuku zonke emthandazweni we Baba Wethu sicela iNkosi: “Intando yakho mayenziwe emhlabeni njengasezulwini” (UMathewu 6:10)…. siyabona ukuthi “izulu” kulapho intando kaNkulunkulu yenziwa khona, nokuthi lowo “mhlaba” uba “yizulu” —eyi, indawo yobukhona bothando, ubuhle, iqiniso nebuhle bukaNkulunkulu — kuphela uma esemhlabeni intando kaNkulunkulu yenziwe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Izethameli Ezijwayelekile, ngoFebhuwari 1, 2012, eVatican City
