Isenzakalo Esiseduze Sesono

LAPHO ngumkhuleko olula kodwa omuhle obizwa nge- “The Act of Contrition” uthandazwe ngabazisolayo ekugcineni kwe Confession:

O Nkulunkulu wami, ngiyaxolisa ngayo yonke inhliziyo yami ngokuba ngonile kuwe. Ngiyazizonda zonke izono zami ngenxa yesijeziso Sakho esilungile, kodwa ikakhulu ngoba zikucasula Wena Nkulunkulu wami, Omuhle wonke futhi ofanelwe luthando lwami lonke. Ngizimisele ngokuqinile, ngosizo lomusa Wakho, ukuthi ngingabe ngisona futhi ngigweme i isikhathi esiseduze sesono.

"Isikhathi esiseduze sesono." Lawo magama amane angakusindisa.

UKUWA

Isenzakalo esiseduze sesono yi-Fence esihlukanisa phakathi kweZwe Lokuphila kanye noGwadule Lokufa. Futhi lokhu akulona ihaba lemibhalo. Njengoba uPawulu ebhala,

Ngokuba inkokhelo yesono ingukufa… (KwabaseRoma 6:23)

Ngaphambi kokuba u-Adamu no-Eva bone, babevame ukuhamba phezu kwalolu thango bengazi nokwazi. Babunjalo-ke ubumsulwa babo, obungavuswa ngububi. Kepha Isihlahla Sokwazi Kokuhle Nokubi sakhula eceleni kwalolu thango. Belingwe yiNyoka, u-Adamu no-Eva badla kulowo muthi, ngokungazelelwe balahlekelwe ibhalansi yabo, ewela ngekhanda oGwadule Lokufa.

Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuqhubeke, ukulingana ngaphakathi kwenhliziyo yomuntu kwalimala. Isintu besingasakwazi ukuhamba phezu kwalolu cingo ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa ukulinganisela nokuwela esonweni. Igama lalesi silonda lithi inkanuko: ukuthambekela ebubini. Ugwadule Lokufa lwaba yiGwadule Lokuphazamiseka, futhi kungekudala abantu babengeke nje bawele kulo ngenxa yobuthakathaka, kepha abaningi bangakhetha ukungena.

UCINGO

Ukubhabhadiswa, ngokudlulisela impilo yomusa kaKristu, kusula isono sangempela futhi kubuyisele indoda kuNkulunkulu, kepha imiphumela yemvelo, ibuthakathaka futhi ithambekele ebubini, iphikelela kumuntu futhi imbizele empini engokomoya. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika, 405

Uma i-meteor isondela kakhulu emhlabeni, idonswa amandla adonsela phansi eplanethi futhi ekugcineni ibhujiswe njengoba isha emkhathini. Kanjalo futhi, abantu abaningi abanazo izinhloso zokona; kepha ngokuzibeka eduze kwezimo ezikhohlisayo, bayadonswa njengoba amandla esilingo enamandla kakhulu ukuthi angamelana nawo.

Siya ku-Confession, siphenduke ngobuqotho… kepha singenzi lutho ukulungisa indlela yokuphila noma izimo ezisifake enkingeni kwasekuqaleni. Akuphelanga sikhathi, sishiya izindlela eziqinisekile zeNtando kaNkulunkulu eZweni Labaphilayo, bese siqala ukukhuphuka Ocingweni Lokulingwa. Sithi, “Ngisivumile lesi sono. Ngifunda ibhayibheli lami manje. Ngithandaza irosari. Ngingakwazi ukubhekana nalokhu! ” Kepha-ke sikhathalelwa ubukhazikhazi besono, silahlekelwe yisinyathelo sethu enxebeni lobuthakathaka, bese siwela ngamakhanda kule ndawo esasifunga ukuthi ngeke siphinde sibuye. Sizithola siphukile, sigcwele amacala, futhi somile emoyeni ezihlabathini ezivuthayo zoGwadule Lokufa.

AMAQINISO

Kumele sisiphule lezo zinto ezisiletha esikhathini esiseduze sesono. Esikhathini esiningi, sisenakho ukuthanda ukuthambekela kwethu esonweni, noma ngabe siyakuvuma noma cha. Ngaphandle kwezinqumo zethu, empeleni asisethembi isithembiso sikaNkulunkulu sokuthi lokho anakho ngathi kungcono kakhulu. Inyoka yasendulo iyasazi isimo sethu sokungathembeki okubuthakathaka, futhi izokwenza konke okusemandleni ukusikholisa ukuthi sishiye lezi zinto zinjengoba zinjalo. Imvamisa wenza lokhu ngo hhayi ukusilinga khona manjalo, kwakheka inkohliso yamanga yokuthi sinamandla kunalokho esiyikho ngempela.

Ngenkathi uNkulunkulu exwayisa u-Adamu no-Eva ngesihlahla esenqatshelwe ensimini, akashongo lokho kuphela hhayi udle kuwo kepha ngokuka-Eva:

"Ungayithinti ... noma uyithinte, funa ufe." (UGenesise 3: 3)

Futhi-ke, kufanele sishiye ukuvuma izono, siye ekhaya futhi shaya izithombe zethu hleze “size sibathinte”. Isibonelo, uma ukubukela i-TV kukufaka esonweni, yiyeke. Uma ungeke ukwazi ukuyishiya, shayela inkampani yekhebula uyinqume. Ngokufanayo nekhompyutha. Uma unezinkinga ezinkulu ngezithombe zocansi noma ukugembula ku-inthanethi njll. Hambisa ikhompyutha yakho endaweni ebonakalayo. Noma uma lokho kungesilo ikhambi, lahla. Yebo, lahla ikhompyutha. Njengoba uJesu asho,

… Uma iso lakho likwenza wone, likhiphe. Kungcono ukuthi ungene embusweni kaNkulunkulu uneso elilodwa kunokuba uphonswe eGehena unamehlo amabili. (Marku 9:47)

Uma uneqembu labangani abakuholela emisebenzini yesono, ngokuzithoba phuma kulelo qembu.

Ningadukiswa: “Abangane ababi bonakalisa isimilo esihle.” (1 Kor. 15:33)

Gwema ukuthenga ukudla lapho ulambile. Thenga ngohlu, kunokuba ucindezele. Hamba ngendlela ehlukile ukuze uvikele izithombe ezihehayo. Lindela amagama okuvuvukala avela kubaphikisi, futhi ugweme ukuwakhipha. Nciphisa umkhawulo wekhadi lakho lesikweletu, noma usike ikhadi ngokuphelele. Musa ukugcina utshwala endlini yakho uma ungakwazi ukulawula ukuphuza. Gwema izingxoxo ezingenzi lutho, ezingenangqondo nezingaba yingozi. Gwema inhlebo, okufaka lokho komagazini bezokuzijabulisa nasemisakazweni nasezinhlelweni zezingxoxo zethelevishini. Khuluma kuphela lapho kudingeka — lalela ngaphezulu.

Uma umuntu engenzi phutha kulokho akushoyo ungumuntu ophelele, okwazi ukulawula nomzimba wonke ngokungathi ngetomu. (Jakobe 3: 2)

Hlela futhi uqondise usuku lwakho ngangokunokwenzeka ukuze ugweme ukuphoqeleka. Thola ukuphumula nokudla okufanele.

Lezi yizo zonke izindlela esingagwema ngazo umcimbi oseduze wokona. Futhi kufanele, uma sifuna ukunqoba "impi engokomoya".

INDLELA EMFUSHANE

Kepha mhlawumbe indlela enamandla kakhulu yokugwema isono yile: ukulandela intando kaNkulunkulu, umzuzu nomzuzwana. Intando kaNkulunkulu iqukethe izindlela ezihamba eMhlabeni Wokuphila, indawo emangelengele yobuhle obuhlaza enemifudlana efihliwe, ama-groves anethunzi, nama-vistas amangalisayo agcina eholele eSummit of Union with God. IDesert of Death and Distraction ayilutho uma iqhathaniswa, ngendlela ilanga eliqhakambisa ngayo isibani.

Kepha lezi zindlela zikhona imigwaqo emincane yokholo.

Ngenani ngesango elincane; ngoba isango libanzi nendlela inkulu eholela ekubhujisweni, futhi baningi abangena ngayo. Ngokuba isango lincane nendlela iyingcingo eyisa ekuphileni; bambalwa abayitholayo. (Math. 7:13)

Uyabona ukuthi uKristu ubizela ukuba abe nkulu kanjani?

Yebo! Phuma emhlabeni. Vumela inkohliso ichithwe. Vumela iqiniso likukhulule: isono singamanga. Vumela umlilo waphezulu uvuthe ngaphakathi kwenhliziyo yakho. Umlilo we ukuthanda. Lingisa uKristu. Landela abangcwele. Yibani ngcwele njengoba neNkosi ingcwele!

Kumele sizibone “njengabafokazi nezihambi”… lomhlaba awulona ikhaya lethu. Kepha lokhu esikushiya emuva akulutho uma kuqhathaniswa nalokho uNkulunkulu akubekele labo abathatha lezi zindlela zeNtando Yakhe. UNkulunkulu akanakudlula ekuphaneni! Unezinjabulo ezingenakulinganiswa ezisilindeleyo nathi manje esingazithola ngokholo.

Lokho okungekho iso elikubonile, nendlebe engakuzwanga, noma inhliziyo yomuntu engakhulelwa, lokho uNkulunkulu akulungiselele labo abamthandayo (1 Cor 2: 9)

Okokugcina, khumbula ukuthi wena Ayikwazi uyinqobe le mpi engokomoya ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke, sondela kuye ngomkhuleko. Nsuku zonke, kufanele uthandaze ngokusuka enhliziyweni, uchithe isikhathi noNkulunkulu, umvumele anikeze umphefumulo wakho ngazo zonke izisusa ozidingayo ukuze ubekezele. Njengoba iNkosi yethu isho,

Ohlala kimi, nami kuye, uyakuthela izithelo eziningi, ngokuba ngaphandle kwami ningenze lutho. (Johane 15: 5)

Ngempela, sithandaza ngenhliziyo yethu yonke amazwi aku-The Act of Contrition: “ngosizo lomusa Wakho".

UDeveli ufana nenja enolaka eboshwe ngeketanga; ngale kobude beketanga akakwazi ukubamba noma ngubani. Nawe: gcina kude. Uma usondela eduze kakhulu, uzivumela ubanjwe. Khumbula ukuthi uSathane unomnyango owodwa kuphela wokungena emphefumulweni: intando. Azikho iminyango eyimfihlo noma efihliwe. —USt. UPio kaPietrelcina
