Lokhu kuzindla kuyaqhubeka nokwakha phezu kwemibhalo yangaphambilini: Ukuqonda Isiphambano futhi Ukubamba iqhaza kuJesu...
LAPHO ukwehlukaniswa nokwehlukana kuyaqhubeka nokwanda emhlabeni, futhi izingxabano nokudideka kudlula eSontweni (njengokuthi "intuthu kaSathane")… Ngizwa amagama amabili avela kuJesu njengamanje kubafundi bami: "Yiba nokholoful. ” Yebo, zama ukuphila lawa mazwi umzuzu ngamunye namuhla lapho ubhekene nesilingo, izimfuno, amathuba okuzidela, ukulalela, ukushushiswa, njll. Futhi umuntu uzokuthola ngokushesha lokho ukuthembeka nje kulokho umuntu anakho kwanele inselelo yansuku zonke.
Ngempela, kuyisiphambano sansuku zonke.
INTSHISEKELO ETHESHA
Kwesinye isikhathi lapho sinikezwa amandla i-homily, igama elivela embhalweni, noma isikhathi esinamandla somkhuleko, kwesinye isikhathi kuza nesilingo: "Kumele ngenzele uNkulunkulu into enkulu!" Siqala ukuhlela ukuthi singaqala kanjani inkonzo entsha, sithengise yonke impahla yethu, sizile ukudla okungaphezulu, sihlupheke kakhulu, sithandaze kakhulu, sinikeze okuningi… kodwa kungekudala, sizithola sidangele futhi sidangele ngoba sehlulekile ukufeza izinqumo zethu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izibopho zethu zamanje ngokungazelelwe zibonakala zinesicefe ngokwengeziwe, zingenanjongo, futhi zijwayelekile. O, ukukhohlisa okungaka! Ngoba kufayela le- ejwayelekile amanga the okungavamile!
Kungaba yini isipiliyoni esingokomoya esinika amandla futhi esimangalisayo kunokuvakashelwa kweNgelosi eyinhloko uGabriyeli 
kanye nokumemezela kwakhe ukuthi uMariya uzothwala uNkulunkulu esiswini sakhe? Kodwa wenzani uMary? Awukho umlando wokugqabhuka kwakhe emigwaqweni ememezela ukuthi uMesiya okwase kuyisikhathi eside elindelwe uyeza, azikho izindaba zezimangaliso zabaphostoli, izintshumayelo ezinzulu, ukudonswa kwamacala amakhulu noma umsebenzi omusha enkonzweni. Esikhundleni salokho, kubonakala sengathi ubuyele emsebenzini wesikhashana… ukusiza abazali bakhe, ukuwasha izingubo, ukulungisa ukudla, nokusiza abaseduze kwakhe, kubandakanya nomzala wakhe u-Elizabeth. Lapha, sinesithombe esiphelele sokuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba ngumPhostoli kaJesu: ukwenza izinto ezincane ngothando olukhulu.
IZIPHAMBANO Zansuku zonke
Uyabona, kunesilingo sokufuna ukuba ngumuntu ongeyena, ukuqonda okungakatholwa, ukufuna okungaphezu kwalokho osekuvele kuphambi kwamakhala ethu: intando kaNkulunkulu umzuzu wamanje. UJesu wathi:
Uma umuntu efisa ukungilandela, makazidele athathe isiphambano sakhe nsuku zonke angilandele. (Luka 9:23)
Ingabe igama elithi “nsuku zonke” kalivezi yini inhloso yeNkosi yethu? Lokho kusho ukuthi, nsuku zonke, ngaphandle kokwenza iziphambano, kuzoza ithuba emva kwamathuba okuthi "sife kumina", ukuqala ngokuvuka nje embhedeni. Bese
wendlala umbhede. Bese sifuna kuqala uMbuso kaNkulunkulu ngomkhuleko, esikhundleni sokufuna umbuso wethu ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, i-imeyili, njll. Bese kuba khona labo abasizungezile abangahle bakhononde, bafune, noma bangabekezeleleki, futhi lapha isiphambano sokubekezela siziveza. Bese kuthi kube nemisebenzi okwamanje: ukuma emakhazeni ngenkathi ulinde ibhasi lesikole, ukufika emsebenzini ngesikhathi, ukufaka umthwalo olandelayo wokuwasha izingubo, ukushintsha enye inabukeni elindayo, ukulungisa ukudla okulandelayo, ukushanela phansi, umsebenzi wesikole, ukugeza imoto… futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke, njengoba uSt. Paul esho, kumele:
Thwalisanani imithwalo yenu, ukuze nigcwalise umthetho kaKristu. Ngoba uma umuntu ecabanga ukuthi uwutho abe engelutho, uyazikhohlisa. (Gal 6: 2-3)
UTHANDO LUYISILINGANISO
Akukho engikuchaze ngenhla okuzwakala kukuhle kakhulu. Kepha kuyintando kaNkulunkulu ngempilo yakho, ngakho-ke, i indlela eya ebungcweleni, the indlela eya ekuguqulweni, the umgwaqo omkhulu oya ebunyeni noZiqu-zintathu. Ingozi ukuthi siqala ukucabanga ukuthi iziphambano zethu azinkulu ngokwanele, ukuthi kufanele ngabe senza okunye, noma singaba ngomunye umuntu. Kepha njengoba kusho uPaul Paul, thina 
lapho-ke siyazikhohlisa futhi sithathe indlela engeyona intando kaNkulunkulu — ngisho noma ibonakala “ingcwele.” Njengoba uSt. Francis de Sales abhale ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe okujwayelekile:
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 uguqulwe ngokwamandla, ukubizwa, kanye nemisebenzi yomuntu ngamunye. -Isingeniso se-Devout Life, Ingxenye I, Ch. 3, ikhasi 10
Ngakho-ke, kungaba yiseluleko esingalungile futhi esingenangqondo ukuthi umama wekhaya nomama bachithe izinsuku zabo bethandaza esontweni, noma ukuthi indela ichithe amahora amaningi izibandakanye nazo zonke izinhlobo zemizamo yezwe; noma ubaba asebenzise ihora ngalinye lamahhala eshumayela emigwaqweni, kanti umbhishobhi uhlala yedwa. Okungcwele kumuntu oyedwa akusho ukuthi kungcwele kuwe. Ngokuzithoba, ngamunye wethu kumele abheke ubizo esibizelwe kulo, futhi lapho, abone “isiphambano semihla ngemihla” uNkulunkulu uqobo asinikezile, okokuqala, ngentando Yakhe evumayo evezwe ezimweni zezimpilo zethu, futhi okwesibili, Imiyalo yakhe.
Konke okudingeka bakwenze ukufeza ngokwethembeka imisebenzi elula yobuKrestu nalabo ababizelwe isimo sabo sempilo, bamukele ngenjabulo zonke izinkinga abahlangabezana nazo futhi bazithobe entandweni kaNkulunkulu kukho konke okumele bakwenze noma bahlupheke — ngaphandle, nganoma iyiphi indlela , bezifunela inkathazo… Lokho uNkulunkulu asihlelela ukuba sikubone mzuzu ngamunye kuyinto engcono kakhulu nengcwele kunazo zonke engenzeka kithina. —Fr. UJean-Pierre de Caussade, Ukushiya ekuhlinzekweni kukaNkulunkulu, (DoubleDay), amakhasi 26-27
“Kodwa ngibona sengathi angihlupheki ngokwanele ngoNkulunkulu!”, Omunye angase aphikise. Kepha, bafowethu nodadewethu, akukhona ukuqina kwesiphambano senu okubaluleke njengako ukuqina kothando oyamukela ngayo. Umehluko phakathi kwesela "elihle" nelisela "elibi" eCalvary bekungewona uhlobo lokuhlupheka kwabo, kepha uthando nokuthobeka abakwamukela ngalo isiphambano sabo. Ngakho-ke uyabona, ukuphekela umndeni wakho isidlo sakusihlwa, ngaphandle kokukhononda nangokupha, kunamandla amakhulu kakhulu ngokulandelana komusa kunokuzila lapho ulele ngobuso endlini yesonto — njengoba umndeni wakho ulamba.
IZILINGO EZINCANE
Isimiso esifanayo siyasebenza nasekulingweni “okuncane”.
Akungabazeki ukuthi izimpisi namabhere kuyingozi ukudlula izimpukane ezilumayo. Kepha azenzi njalo ukucasula nokucasuka. Ngakho-ke abazami ukubekezela kwethu ngendlela izimpukane ezizama ngayo.
Kulula ukudeda ekubulaleni. Kepha kunzima ukugwema ukuqhuma okuthukuthele okuvame ukuvuswa ngaphakathi kwethu. Kulula ukugwema ukuphinga. Kepha akulula kangako ukuhlanzeka ngokuphelele futhi uhlale umsulwa ngamagama, ukubukeka, imicabango, kanye
izenzo. Kulula ukungantshontshi okungokomunye umuntu, kunzima ukungakufisi; kulula ukungafakazi amanga enkantolo, kunzima ukuba neqiniso ngokuphelele ezingxoxweni zansuku zonke; kulula ukuyeka ukudakwa, kube nzima ukuzithiba kulokho esikudlayo nesikuphuzayo; kulula ukungafisi ukufa kothile, kunzima ukungalokothi ufise noma yini ephikisana nezintshisakalo zakhe; Kulula ukugwema ukwehlisa isithunzi somuntu othile, kunzima ukugwema konke ukwedelelwa kwangaphakathi kwabanye.
Ngamafuphi, lezi zilingo ezingatheni entukuthelweni, ukusola, umona, umona, ubuphukuphuku, ubuze, ubuwula, inkohliso, ukwenziwa, imicabango engcolile, yisilingo esingapheli nakulabo abazinikele kakhulu nabazimisele kakhulu. Ngakho-ke kufanele siyilungiselele ngokucophelela nangokuzimisela le mpi. Kepha qiniseka ukuthi konke ukunqoba okunqotshwe kulezi zitha ezincane kufana netshe eliyigugu emqhele wobukhosi uNkulunkulu asilungiselela wona ezulwini. —St. UFrancis de Sales, Ibhukwana lempi engokomoya, UPaul Thigpen, Tan Books; k. 175-176
UJESU, INDLELA
Iminyaka eyi-18, uJesu — azi ukuthi unguMsindisi womhlaba — nsuku zonke wayephatha isaha lakhe, iplanethi yakhe nesando sakhe, ngenkathi esemigwaqweni engaphesheya kwesitolo Sakhe sombazi, Walalela ukukhala kwabampofu, ukucindezelwa amaRoma, ukuhlupheka kwabagulayo, ubuze bezifebe, nonya lwabathelisi. Futhi-ke, akazange agijime phambi kukaBaba, ngaphambi komsebenzi Wakhe… ngaphambi kweNtando Yaphezulu.
Kunalokho, wazidela, wathatha isimo sesigqila… (Phil 2: 7)
Lokhu, ngokungangabazeki, kwakuyisiphambano esibuhlungu kuJesu… ukulinda, ukulinda, nokulinda ukufeza injongo Yakhe — ukukhululwa kwesintu.
Beningazi yini ukuthi kufanele ngibe sendlini kaBaba?… Bengifisa ngobuqotho ukudla leli phasika nani ngaphambi kokuba ngihlupheke… (Luka 2:49; 22:15)
Futhi,
Noma eyiNdodana, wafunda ukulalela kulokho ahlupheka ngakho. (Heb 5: 8)
Noma kunjalo, uJesu wayenokuthula okuphelele ngoba wayehlala efuna intando kaYise kulo mzuzu wamanje, okwakunguye, “ukudla” Kwakhe. [1]isib. ULuka 4:34 "Isinkwa sansuku zonke" sikaKristu, kwakungumsebenzi wesikhashana nje. Eqinisweni, kungaba yiphutha ngathi ukucabanga ukuthi yiminyaka emithathu kuphela kaJesu ka umphakathi Inkonzo, eyafinyelela emvuthwandaba eKalvari, yayingumsebenzi “Wokuhlengwa.” Cha, isiphambano saqala ngaye ekuhluphekeni komkhombe, saqhubeka nokudingiselwa eGibhithe, saqhubeka eNazaretha, saba nzima kakhulu lapho kwakudingeka sishiye ithempeli sisencane, futhi sahlala kuyo yonke iminyaka Yaso njengombazi olula. Kepha, eqinisweni, uJesu ubengeke abe nenye indlela.
Ngehle ezulwini hhayi ukuzokwenza intando yami kepha intando yalowo ongithumileyo. Futhi lokhu kuyintando yalowo ongithumileyo, ukuba ngingalahli lutho kulokho anginike khona, kodwa ukuba ngikukhulise ngosuku lokugcina. (Johane 6: 38-39)
UJesu wayengafuni ukulahlekelwa yilutho esandleni sikaYise — ngisho umzuzu owodwa wokuhamba enyameni yomuntu. Esikhundleni salokho, waguqula lezi zikhathi zaba yindlela yokuqhubeka nokuhlangana noBaba (ngendlela yokuthi athathe isinkwa newayini elijwayelekile futhi waliguqula laba nguMzimba neGazi Lakhe). Yebo, uJesu wangcwelisa umsebenzi, wakungcwelisa ukulala, ukudla okungcwelisiwe, ukuphumula okungcwelisiwe, umthandazo ongcwelisiwe, nobudlelwano obungcwelisiwe nabo bonke ahlangana nabo. Impilo kaJesu “ejwayelekile” yembula “iNdlela”: indlela eya eZulwini ukuhlala ukwamukela intando kaBaba, ezintweni ezincane, ngothando olukhulu nokunakekelwa.
Okwethu esiyizoni, lokhu kubizwa Ukuguqulwa.
… Nikela ngemizimba yenu njengomhlatshelo ophilayo, ongcwele futhi othokozisayo uNkulunkulu, ukukhonza kwenu ngokomoya. Ningazifanisi nalenkathi kodwa niguqulwe isimo ngokwenziwa ibentsha ingqondo yenu, ukuze nikwazi okuyintando kaNkulunkulu, okuhle nokujabulisayo nokupheleleyo. (Rom 12: 1-2)
INDLELA elula
Kukaningi ngithi kuzinsizwa nezintombi ezididekile ukuthi iyini intando kaNkulunkulu ngezimpilo zazo, "Qala ngezitsha." Ngibe sengabelana nabo ngeHubo 119: 105:
Izwi lakho liyisibani ezinyaweni zami nokukhanya endleleni yami.
Intando kaNkulunkulu ikhanya nje izinyathelo ezimbalwa phambili — akuvamile ukuba kube “yimayela” elizayo. Kepha uma sithembekile nsuku zonke ngalezo zinyathelo ezincane, singageja kanjani “impambana mgwaqo” uma ifika? Ngeke! Kepha kufanele sethembeke “ngethalente elilodwa” uNkulunkulu asinike lona—umsebenzi wesikhashana. [2]isib. UMathewu 25: 14-30
Kufanele sihlale endleleni yeNtando Yaphezulu, ngaphandle kwalokho, ama-egos ethu nokuthambekela kwenyama kungasiholela ehlane lezinkinga.
Umuntu othembekile ezintweni ezincane kakhulu uthembekile nakwezinkulu… (Luka 16:10)
Uyabona-ke, asidingi ukuyofuna iziphambano okungezona ezethu ukuba sizithwale. Kukhona okwanele ngokuhamba kosuku ngalunye osekuhlelwe yi-Divine Providence. Uma uNkulunkulu ecela okungaphezulu, kungenxa yokuthi besivele sithembekile kokuncane.
Izinto ezincane ezenziwa ngokudlulele kaninginingi ngothando lukaNkulunkulu: lokhu kuzokwenza abangcwele. Kuyinto enhle impela. Musa ukufuna ukuqothulwa okukhulu kwama-flagellation noma yini onayo. Funa ukubulawa kwansuku zonke kokwenza into kahle kakhulu. - Isisebenzi sikaNkulunkulu uCatherine De Hueck Doherty, The Abantu bethawula namanzi, kusukela Izikhathi Zekhalenda Lomusa, Januwari 13th
Ngamunye kumele enze njengokuzimisele kwakhe, ngaphandle kosizi noma ukuphoqelelwa, ngoba uNkulunkulu uthanda umuphi onamileyo. (2 Kor. 9: 8)
Ekugcineni, ukuhlala lesi siphambano sansuku zonke kahle, futhi ukusihlanganisa nokuhlupheka kwesiphambano sikaKristu, sibamba iqhaza ekusindisweni kwemiphefumulo, ikakhulukazi eyethu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lesi siphambano sansuku zonke sizoba ihange lakho kulezi zikhathi ezinesiphepho. Lapho imiphefumulo ezungeze wena iqala ukukhala ithi, “Senzani? Senzani?! ”, Yibo abazobakhomba the 
umzuzu wamanje, esiphambanweni sansuku zonke. Ngoba ukuphela kwendlela esinayo eholela eKalvari, ethuneni, nasekuvukeni.
Kufanele saneliseke ngokwenza okusemandleni ngamathalente ambalwa asinikeze wona, futhi singazikhathazi ngokuba namakhono amaningi noma amakhulu. Uma sithembekile kokuncane, Uzosibeka phezu kwalokhu okukhulu. Lokho, nokho, kumele kuvele kuYe kungabi umphumela wemizamo yethu…. Ukushiywa okunjalo kuyothokozisa uNkulunkulu kakhulu, futhi siyoba nokuthula. Umoya wezwe awuhlaliseki, futhi ufisa ukwenza konke. Ake siyiyekele yodwa. Masingabi nasifiso sokukhetha izindlela zethu, kepha sihambe kulezo uNkulunkulu angathokoza ukusinika zona…. Masinwebeni ngesibindi imingcele yezinhliziyo zethu kanye nentando yethu ebukhoneni Bakhe, futhi masinganqumi ngokwenza le nto noma lokho uNkulunkulu aze akhulume. Masimncenge ukuthi asinike umusa wokusebenza okwamanje, sisebenzise lezo zimfanelo iNkosi yethu eyazenza ngesikhathi sokuphila kwayo okufihliwe. —USt. UVincent de Paul, ovela UVincent de Paul noLouise de Marillac: Imithetho, Izinkomfa, kanye Nemibhalo (I-Paulist Press); kucashunwe ku- I-Magnificat, Septhemba 2017, amakhasi 373-374
Indida ukuthi ngokwamukela iziphambano zethu zansuku zonke, kuholela enjabulweni engaphezu kwemvelo. Njengoba uPaul Paul asho ngoJesu, “Ngenxa yenjabulo eyayiphambi kwakhe wakhuthazelela isiphambano…” [3]I-Heb 12: 2 Futhi uJesu ukulungele ukusisiza lapho iziphambano zansuku zonke zokuphila ziba nzima kakhulu.
Bafowethu nodadewethu abathandekayo, uNkulunkulu wasidala ukuba sibe nenjabulo nenjabulo, hhayi ukucasha ngemicabango yokudangala. Futhi lapho amabutho ethu abonakala ebuthakathaka futhi impi yokulwa nosizi ibonakala iyinselelo enkulu, singahlala sigijimela kuJesu, simnxusa: 'Nkosi Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu, ngihawukele mina soni!' -UPOP FRANCIS, General Audience, Septhemba 27th, 2017
