UKUVUSELELWA KWELENTEN
Usuku 29
KONKE esixoxe ngakho kuze kube manje kule Lenten Retreat isisiza wena nami ukuba sikhuphukele ezindaweni eziphakeme zobungcwele nobunye noNkulunkulu (futhi khumbula, Naye, zonke izinto zingenzeka). Futhi nokho — futhi lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu — ngaphandle kwe- Umthandazo, kungafana nomuntu obeke ibhaluni lomoya elishisayo phansi wasetha yonke imishini yabo. Umshayeli wendiza uzama ukugibela ku-gondola, okuyintando kaNkulunkulu. Ujwayelene namabhukwana akhe endiza, okuyiMibhalo neCatechism. Ubhasikidi wakhe uboshelwe ebhalwini ngezintambo zamaSakramente. Okokugcina, welule ibhaluni lakhe emhlabathini — okusho ukuthi, uvumile ukuzimisela okuthile, ukulahla, kanye nesifiso sokundizela ngaseZulwini…. Kepha inqobo nje uma isishisi se Umthandazo ihlala ingakhanyisiwe, ibhaluni — okuyinhliziyo yakhe — alisoze lakhula, futhi impilo yakhe yokomoya iyohlala inesisekelo.
Umkhuleko, bafowethu nodadewethu, yikho okuphilisa futhi kudonsela yonke into ezulwini; Umthandazo yilokho okudonsela umusa ukunqoba ubunzima bobuthakathaka bami kanye nenkanuko; Umthandazo yikhona okungikhuphelela ezindaweni eziphakeme zokuhlakanipha, ulwazi, nokuqonda; Umthandazo yikho okwenza amaSakramente asebenze kahle; Umthandazo yilokho okukhanyisa futhi kubhale emphefumulweni wami okubhalwe kumaManuwali aNgcwele; Umthandazo yikho okugcwalisa inhliziyo yami ngokushisa nomlilo wothando lukaNkulunkulu; futhi kunjalo Umthandazo lokho kungidonsela esimeni sobukhona bukaNkulunkulu.
The Katekisimu ifundisa ukuthi:
Umkhuleko uyimpilo yenhliziyo entsha. Kufanele kusenze siphile ngawo wonke umzuzu. Kepha sijwayele ukumkhohlwa oyimpilo yethu nakho konke esinakho. -ICatechism yeSonto LamaKatolika (CCC), hhayi. 2697
Uyabona, yingakho abantu abaningi bengakhuli ebungcweleni, bengakaze bathuthuke kakhulu empilweni yokomoya: uma umkhuleko uyi ukuphila yenhliziyo entsha — futhi othile akathandazi — lapho-ke inhliziyo entsha abayinikwa kuBaptism ukufa. Ngoba ngumkhuleko lowo udvweba enhliziyweni amalangabi ka- umusa.
… Umusa odingekayo ekungcwelisweni kwethu, ekwandeni komusa nasekusizeni, nasekuzuzeni impilo engunaphakade… Lezi zinzuzo nezimpahla ziyizinto zomkhuleko wamaKrestu. Umthandazo uhambela umusa esiwudingayo ngezenzo ezinhle. -CCC, hhayi. 2010
Ukubuyela eVangelini likaJohane oNgcwele lapho uJesu asibiza khona ukuthi "sihlale" kuYena, uthi:
Mina ngingumvini, nina ningamagatsha. Ohlala kimi, nami kuye, nguyena othela izithelo eziningi, ngokuba ngaphandle kwami ningenze lutho. (Johane 15: 5)
Umthandazo yiwo odonsa ifayili le- SAP kaMoya oNgcwele ezinhliziyweni zethu ukuze sikwazi ukuthela "izithelo ezinhle." Ngaphandle komkhuleko, izithelo zemisebenzi emihle ziyoma futhi amaqabunga obuhle aqala lapho eya khona.
Manje, kusho ukuthini ukuthandaza futhi Kanjani ukuthandaza yilokho esizoxoxa ngakho ezinsukwini ezizayo. Kepha angifuni ukuphela namuhla okwamanje. Ngoba abanye banomqondo wokuthi umthandazo umane nje ukufunda lo mbhalo noma lowo mbhalo — njengokufaka uhlamvu lwemali emshinini wokuthengisa. Cha! Umkhuleko, umthandazo oyiqiniso, yiwo ukushintshana ngezinhliziyo: inhliziyo yakho ngekaNkulunkulu, nenhliziyo kaNkulunkulu ngeyakho.
Cabanga ngendoda nenkosikazi abadlulayo ephasishi usuku ngalunye ngaphandle kokukhulumisana ngisho nelilodwa igama noma ukumamatheka, noma mhlawumbe lutho. Bahlala ekhaya elilodwa, badla ukudla okufanayo ngisho embhedeni owodwa… kodwa kukhona igebe phakathi kwabo ngoba "izishisi" zokuxhumana azisebenzi. Kepha lapho indoda nenkosikazi bekhuluma bodwa ngokusuka enhliziyweni, bakhonzane, futhi baqedele umshado wabo ngokuzinikela okuphelele… kahle, lapho unesithombe somkhuleko. Kufanele kube umthandi. UNkulunkulu ungumthandi, osezinikele ngokuphelele ngokuphelele kuwe ngokuphelele esiphambanweni. Futhi manje Uthi, “Wozani kimi… Wozani kimi, ngoba wena unguMlobokazi Wami, futhi siyoba munye othandweni. ”
UJesu womile; ukucela kwakhe kuvela ekujuleni kwesifiso sikaNkulunkulu ngathi. Noma sazi noma cha, umthandazo ukuhlangana kokoma kukaNkulunkulu nezethu. UNkulunkulu womele ukuthi simmelele. -CCC, 2560
