UKUTHANDAZA
IT kuthatha imilenze emibili ukuma uqinile. Kanjalo nasempilweni kamoya, sinemilenze emibili okumele sime kuyo: ukulalela futhi Umthandazo. Ngoba ubuciko besiqalo futhi siqukethe ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi sinezinyathelo ezifanelekile ukusuka ekuqaleni… noma sizokhubeka ngaphambi kokuthi sithathe nezinyathelo ezimbalwa. Ngokufingqa kuze kube manje, ubuciko bokuqala futhi buqukethe izinyathelo ezinhlanu ze- ukuthobeka, ukuvuma, ukuthembela, ukulalela, futhi manje, sigxila ethandaza.
KwiVangeli lanamuhla, uJesu uvuka ngolaka olulungile lapho Ebona okwenziwe endaweni yethempeli.
Kulotshiwe ukuthi, Indlu yami izoba yindlu yomkhuleko, kepha nina niyenze umhume wamasela.
Ekuqaleni, singacabanga ukuthi ukudana kukaJesu kwakubhekiswe kuphela kubathengi nabathengisi egcekeni ngalolo suku. Kodwa-ke ngiyasola ukuthi noJesu wayebheke phambili eBandleni Lakhe, nakithi ngamunye wethu ongomunye “wamatshe aphilayo” alo.
Anazi yini ukuthi umzimba wenu uyithempeli likaMoya oNgcwele okinina, enimamukele kuNkulunkulu, nokuthi anisibo abenu? Ngoba uthengiwe ngenani elithile. (1 Kor. 6: 19-20)
Ngakho-ke yini ehlala ethempelini lakho? Ugcwalisa inhliziyo yakho ngani? Ngoba, “Enhliziyweni kuvela imicabango emibi, ukubulala, ukuphinga, ubufebe, ukweba, ukufakaza amanga, ukuhlambalaza,”[1]I-Matt 15: 19- okusho ukuthi, lapho ingcebo yethu ingekho ezulwini, kodwa ezintweni zalo mhlaba. Futhi ngakho-ke uSt. Paul usitshela ukuthi "Cabanga ngokwaphezulu, hhayi okusemhlabeni." [2]Kolose 3: 2 Yilokho impela umthandazo: ukugxilisa amehlo ethu kuJesu onguye "Umholi nomphelelisi wokholo." [3]I-Heb 12: 2 Kungukubuka “phezulu” ngaphezu kwakho konke okunye okungokwesikhashana nokwedlulayo — impahla yethu, imisebenzi yethu, izifiso zethu… nokuzihlela kabusha kokusemqoka kakhulu: ukuthanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ngayo yonke inhliziyo yethu, umphefumulo namandla.
Ngenxa yakhe ngikwamukele ukulahlekelwa yizinto zonke futhi ngikuthatha njengodoti omkhulu, ukuze ngizuze uKristu futhi ngitholakale kuye…. (Fil 3: 9)
UJesu wathi, ukuze "sihlale kimi", kufanele sigcine imiyalo. Kepha kwenzeka kanjani, lapho sibuthakathaka kangako, silingwa, futhi sithobekile ezinkanukweni zenyama? Yebo, njengoba ngishilo izolo, “umlenze up” wokuqala ukuzimisela ukulalela — uku “Ungenzi malungiselelo enyama.” Kepha manje ngizithola ngidinga amandla nomusa ukubekezela kulokho. Impendulo itholakala emthandazweni, noma lokho okubizwa ngokuthi "impilo yangaphakathi." Yimpilo esenhliziyweni yakho, indawo lapho kuhlala uNkulunkulu khona futhi alinde ukuxhumana nomusa owudingayo ukuze unqobe. Kungumugqa “wokuqala” kusuka lapho uqala khona, uqhubeke, futhi uqedele usuku lwakho.
… Umusa odingekayo ekungcwelisweni kwethu, ekwandeni komusa nasekusizeni, nasekuzuzeni impilo engunaphakade… Lezi zinzuzo nezimpahla ziyizinto zomkhuleko wamaKrestu. Umthandazo uhambela umusa esiwudingayo ngezenzo ezinhle. —Ikhathekizimu yeSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 2010
Kepha umthandazo awufani nokufaka uhlamvu lwemali emshinini we-cosmic othengisa ngomusa. Kunalokho, ngikhuluma lapha isidlo: ukuthandana phakathi kukaYise nezingane zaKhe, uKristu noMlobokazi Wakhe, uMoya nethempeli lakhe:
… Umkhuleko ubuhlobo obuphilayo bezingane zikaNkulunkulu noBaba wazo olunge ngokwedlulele, neNdodana yakhe uJesu Kristu kanye noMoya oNgcwele. Umusa woMbuso "ukuhlangana kwawo wonke uZiqu-zintathu ongcwele nasebukhosini ... ngawo wonke umoya wobuntu."--CCC, hhayi. 2565
Okubaluleke kakhulu futhi okusemqoka umthandazo empilweni yakho, Mkristu othandekayo, ukuthi ngaphandle kwawo, uyafa ngokomoya.
Umkhuleko uyimpilo yenhliziyo entsha. Kufanele kusenze siphile ngawo wonke umzuzu. Kepha sijwayele ukumkhohlwa oyimpilo yethu nakho konke esinakho. -CCC, n. 2697
Lapho simkhohlwa, ngokungazelelwe kufana nokuzama ukugijima imarathon ngomlenze owodwa. Kungakho uJesu athi, "Thandaza njalo ungakhathali." [4]ULuka 18: 1 Lokho wukuthi, hlala ngaphakathi kuye kanye naye mzuzu ngamunye wosuku njengoba amagilebhisi ahlala elenga emvinini.
Impilo yomkhuleko umkhuba wokuba sebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu ongcwele kathathu kanye nokuhlangana naye. -CCC, n. 2565
O, bambalwa kangakanani abapristi nababhishobhi okufundisa lokhu! Yeka ukuthi bambalwa kangakanani abantu abavamile abazi ngempilo yangaphakathi! Akumangazi ukuthi uJesu uphinde wadabuka ngeBandla Lakhe — hhayi kakhulu ngoba sesiphendule amathempeli ethu aba yimakethe lapho isizukulwane sethu sidliswa “ukuthenga nokuthengisa,” kodwa ngoba sihlala simile futhi sibambezela inguquko yethu kuYe, yingakho Wasifela: ukuze sibe ngcwele, sihle, sigcwaliswe ngosanta abahlanganyela enkazimulweni yakhe.
Noma ngabe isimo sami singaba yini, uma ngizimisele ngokukhuleka kuphela futhi ngithembeke emseni, uJesu unginikeza zonke izindlela zokubuyela empilweni yangaphakathi ezongibuyisela ukusondelana Naye, futhi izongivumela ukuba ngithuthukise impilo Yakhe. kimi. Futhi-ke, njengoba le mpilo izuza umhlabathi ngaphakathi kimi, umphefumulo wami ngeke uyeke ube nenjabulo, ngisho naku obukhulu kwezivivinyo…. - UDom Jean-Baptiste Chautard, Umphefumulo Wompostoli, k. 20 (Tan Izincwadi)
Kuningi kakhulu okungashiwo. Ngakho-ke, ngibhale ukuhlehla kwezinsuku ezingama-40 empilweni yangaphakathi efaka nokulalelwayo ukuze ukwazi ukuyilalela emotweni yakho noma ngenkathi uphuma ukugijima (ngemilenze emibili). Kungani ungenzi le ngxenye ye-Advent kulo nyaka? Vele uchofoze Umthandazo Retreat ukuqala, nanamuhla.
Umyalo Omkhulu ovela kuKristu uthi thanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho… nomakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena. Emthandazweni, sithanda uNkulunkulu; ngokulalela imiyalo, sithanda umakhelwane wethu. Le yimilenze emibili okufanele sime phezu kwayo futhi siyivuselele njalo ekuseni.
Ngakho qinisa izandla zakho ezixegayo namadolo akho abuthakathaka. Yenzelani izinyawo zenu izindlela eziqonde ngqo, ukuze okuqhugayo kungasuswa kodwa kuphulukiswe. (Heb 12: 12-13)
Ngenkathi ngisemusha ebusheni bami ngisho eminyakeni engamashumi amabili, umqondo wokuhlala phansi egumbini elithulekile ukuthandaza wazwakala… kungenzeki. Kepha ngasheshe ngafunda ukuthi, emthandazweni, ngangihlangana noJesu nomusa waKhe, uthando Lwakhe kanye nesihe Sakhe. Kube semthandazweni lapho bengifunda ukungabe ngisazidelela ngenxa yendlela ayengithanda ngayo. Kwakusekuthandazeni lapho ngangithola khona ukuhlakanipha kokwazi okubalulekile nokungabalulekile. Njengabantu abakwiVangeli lanamuhla, ngangisheshe "Elenga emazwini akhe."
Futhi bekungukuthandaza futhi lo mBhalo uba ngokoqobo kimi usuku ngalunye:
Umusa weNkosi awupheli, umusa wakhe awupheli; zintsha njalo ekuseni; kukhulu ukuthembeka kwakho. “INkosi isabelo sami,” kusho umphefumulo wami, “ngakho-ke ngiyothembela kuye.” INkosi inhle kulabo abamlindeleyo, kumphefumulo omfunayo. (IsiLilo 3: 22-25)
