ibhaluni2a

I kumele ngihleke, ngoba ngingumuntu wokugcina engake ngacabanga ukuthi ngikhulume ngomkhuleko. Ekukhuleni kwami, nganginesibindi, ngihamba njalo, ngilungele ukudlala njalo. Nganginobunzima bokuhlala ngithule eMiseni. Futhi kimi, izincwadi zaziwukuchitha isikhathi esihle sokudlala. Ngakho-ke, ngenkathi ngiphothula esikoleni esiphakeme, kungenzeka ukuthi ngangifunde izincwadi ezingaphansi kweshumi empilweni yami yonke. Futhi ngenkathi ngifunda iBhayibheli lami, ithemba lokuhlala phansi ngithandaze noma yisiphi isikhathi eside lalinzima, ukusho okuncane.

Lapho ngineminyaka engu-XNUMX kuphela ubudala, ngafundiswa umbono wokuba “nobuhlobo bomuntu siqu noJesu.” Ngikhule ngomkhuleko womndeni, nginabazali abathanda kakhulu iNkosi, futhi behlanganisa ubuKrestu ngakho konke esikwenzayo. Kepha ngaze ngashiya ikhaya lapho ngabona khona ukuthi ngibuthakathaka ngokuphelele, ngithambekele esonweni, nokuthi angikwazi ukuzisiza kanjani. Yilapho-ke umngane wami aqala khona ukukhuluma “ngempilo yangaphakathi”, ingokomoya labangcwele, kanye nalolu bizo lomuntu siqu oluvela kuNkulunkulu ebunyeni Naye. Ngaqala ukubona ukuthi “ubuhlobo bomuntu siqu” noNkulunkulu babungaphezulu kakhulu kokuya eMiseni. Kwakudinga isikhathi sami uqobo nokunaka kuYe ukuze ngifunde ukuzwa izwi Lakhe futhi ngimvumele angithande. Ngamafuphi, kwafuna ukuthi ngiqale ukuthatha impilo yami engokomoya ngokungathi sína futhi thandaza. Ngoba njengoba ikhathekizimu lifundisa…

… Umkhuleko is ubudlelwano obuphilayo bezingane zikaNkulunkulu noYise wazo… -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 2565

Ngenkathi ngiqala ukuthatha impilo yami yomkhuleko ngokungathi sína, injabulo entsha nokuthula engingakaze ngikubone ngaphambili kwaqala ukugcwalisa inhliziyo yami. Ngokungazelelwe, ukuhlakanipha okusha nokuqonda imiBhalo kwagcwalisa ingqondo yami; amehlo ami avulelwa ububi obucashile ebengibucashile phambilini. Futhi imvelo yami ethile yasendle yaqala ukuthanjiswa. Lokhu konke ukusho lokho, uma I ngifunde ukuthandaza, noma ubani angakwazi ukuthandaza.

UNkulunkulu uthi kuDuteronomi,

Ngibeke phambi kwakho impilo nokufa, isibusiso nesiqalekiso; ngakho-ke khetha impilo… (Duteronomi 30:19)

Njengoba iCatechism ifundisa ukuthi “umthandazo uyimpilo yenhliziyo entsha,” lapho-ke khetha umthandazo. Lokhu ngikusho ngoba usuku nosuku kufanele sikhethe uNkulunkulu, simkhethe Yena ngaphezu kwakho konke okunye, sifune kuqala Akhe umbuso, futhi lokho kubandakanya ukukhetha ukuchitha isikhathi Naye.

Ekuqaleni, umthandazo ungaba yinjabulo kuwe, kodwa kuzoba nezikhathi lapho ungewona; izikhathi lapho kuzokoma khona, kube nzima futhi kungathandeki. Kepha ngithole ukuthi lezo zikhathi, noma ngabe zihlala isikhashana, azihlali unomphela. Uyasivumela ukuthi sizwe incithakalo emthandazweni, uma nje kudingeka, ukuze ukholo lwethu Kuye luhlolwe futhi luhlanzwe; futhi uyasivumela ukuthi sizwe induduzo yakhe, noma nini lapho kudingeka, ukuze sivuselelwe futhi siqiniswe. Futhi iNkosi ihlale ithembekile, ayivumeli neze ukuba silingwe ngaphezu kwamandla ethu. Ngakho-ke khumbula ukuthi, njengabahambi, sihamba njalo ezintabeni ezingokomoya. Uma useqophelweni eliphezulu, khumbula ukuthi kuzofika isigodi; uma usesigodini, ekugcineni uzofika esicongweni.

Ngolunye usuku, ngemuva kwesikhathi esiyincithakalo, uJesu wathi kuSt. Faustina:

Ndodakazi yami, phakathi namasonto lapho ungangibonanga noma wezwa ukuba khona Kwami, bengibumbene kakhulu kuwe kunangezinye izikhathi [lapho wezwa] injabulo. Futhi ukwethembeka nephunga lomkhuleko wakho kufinyelele kimi. Emva kwala mazwi, umphefumulo wami wagcwala induduzo kaNkulunkulu. -Isihe SikaNkulunkulu Somphefumlo Wami, Idayari, n. 1246

Gcina phambi kwakho inhloso yomkhuleko, kuyinjongo. Akusikho ukuthi “kwenziwe imithandazo yenu”, ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso; umjaho wokudlula kwiRosari yakho, ukushesha ngokuhlanya ukuskena incwadi yakho yokuthandaza, noma udwi lokususa ukuzinikela. Kunalokho…

… Umkhuleko wamaKrestu kufanele uqhubekele phambili: olwazini lothando lweNkosi uJesu, ukuya ebunyeni nayo. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 2708

Isichotho esisodwa UMariya wathandaza ngenhliziyo unamandla amakhulu kunamashumi amahlanu athandazwayo ngaphandle. Ngakho-ke, uma uqala ukuthandaza iHubo, ngokwesibonelo, nemisho emithathu, uzwa ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu, isiqiniseko Sakhe, noma uzwa izwi lolwazi enhliziyweni yakho, bese uhlala lapho kuleyo ndawo uhlale naye. Kunezikhathi lapho ngizoqala khona iRosari noma i-Divine Office… bese kuba amahora amabili kamuva lapho ngigcina khona ngoba iNkosi ibifuna ukukhuluma enhliziyweni yami amazwi othando phakathi kobuhlalu; Wayefuna ukungifundisa ngaphezu kwalokho okwakubhalwe ekhasini. Futhi lokho kulungile. Uma uJesu engangqongqoza emnyango athi, “Ngingakhuluma nawe umzuzwana,” ubungeke uthi, “Nginike imizuzu eyi-15, ngiqeda imithandazo yami.” Cha, ngalowo mzuzu, usufinyelele umgomo wakho! Futhi inhloso, kusho uSt. Paul, ngu…

… Ukuze [uBaba] aninike ngokuvumelana nengcebo yenkazimulo yakhe ukuba niqiniswe ngamandla ngoMoya wakhe ngaphakathi, nokuthi uKristu ahlale ezinhliziyweni zenu ngokukholwa; ukuze nina, nigxilile futhi nigxilile othandweni, nibe namandla okuqonda kanye nabo bonke abangcwele ukuthi yini ububanzi nobude nokuphakama nokujula, nokwazi uthando lukaKristu oludlula ulwazi, ukuze nigcwaliswe ngakho konke ukugcwala kukaNkulunkulu. (Efe 3: 16-19)

Ukuze inhliziyo yakho, njengebhaluni lomoya elishisayo, ikhule ikhule ibe nokuningi kukaNkulunkulu.

Futhi-ke, njengoba sishilo ekuqaleni kule Retreat, ungabi yijaji lakho ngenqubekela phambili yakho yangaphakathi. Kutholakale ukuthi izimpande zezihlahla zikhula kakhulu ebusika obungamakhaza kakhulu kunalokho esasikucabanga. Kanjalo futhi, umphefumulo ohleli ugxilile futhi ugxilile emthandazweni uzokhula ngaphakathi ngezindlela abangakaziboni. Ungadangali uma impilo yakho yomkhuleko ibonakala imile. Ukuthandaza isenzo se ukholo; ukuthandaza lapho ungazizwa sengathi ukuthandaza kuyisenzo se ukuthanda, Futhi "Uthando aluhluleki." ^[1]I-1 Cor 13: 8

Umqondisi wami wezenkolo wake wathi kimi, “Uma kukhulunywa izikhathi ezingamashumi amahlanu phakathi nomthandazo, uyaphazamiseka, kepha izikhathi ezingamashumi amahlanu ubuyela eNkosini bese uqala ukuthandaza futhi, lokho kuyizenzo ezingamashumi amahlanu zothando ngoNkulunkulu ezingabukeka emehlweni akhe umthandazo owodwa, ongenaziphazamiso. ”

… Umuntu wenza isikhathi seNkosi, ngokuzimisela okuqinile ukungalilahli ithemba, noma ngabe ubhekana naziphi izivivinyo nokoma. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 2710

Ngakho-ke, bangane bami, kungabonakala kini ukuthi 'ibhaluni lenhliziyo yenu' aligcini ngokushesha okukhulu njengoba nithanda. Ngakho kusasa, sizokhuluma ngemigomo eyisisekelo yomkhuleko enginesiqiniseko sokuthi izokusiza undizele ezulwini…
