UKUVUSELELWA KWELENTEN
Usuku 37
IF kukhona "ama-tether" okufanele siwasuse ezinhliziyweni zethu, okungukuthi, izinkanuko zezwe nezifiso ezeqile, impela ufuna ukuboshwa ngumusa uNkulunkulu uqobo awunikele ngensindiso yethu, okungukuthi, amaSakramente.
Esinye sezinhlekelele ezinkulu kakhulu ezikhathini zethu ukuwa kwezinkolelo nokuqonda kumaSakramente ayisikhombisa, iCatechism eyibiza ngokuthi “imisebenzi yobungcweti bukaNkulunkulu.” [1]Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 1116 Lokhu kubonakala kubazali abafisa ukuthi izingane zabo zibhapathizwe, kodwa bangalokothi baye eMiseni; emibhangqwaneni engashadile ehlala ndawonye, kodwa efuna ukushada eSontweni; ezinganeni eziqinisekisiwe, kepha ungaphinde unyathele epharadesi lazo. Amasakramente ezindaweni eziningi ancishiselwe emikhosini eyejwayelekile noma imicikilisho yokuhamba, ngokungafani nalokhu: isenzo sikaMoya oNgcwele ekungcwelisweni nasekusindisweni kwalabo ababamba iqhaza kuwo. ukholo. Ngisho empeleni, kuyindaba ye ukuphila futhi ukufa. Kunesisho sakudala eBandleni esithi: lex orandi, lex credendi; empeleni, "iSonto likholelwa njengoba ethandaza." [2]CCC, hhayi. 1124 Impela, ukuntula kwethu ukholo nethemba kumaSakramente kufanele, ngokwengxenye, ngoba asisathandazi ngokusuka enhliziyweni.
Empilweni yomKrestu, amaSakramente afana nezintambo ezijoyina a 
ibhasikidi le-gondola ukuya ku-appartus yebhaluni — yizibopho zomusa ezibopha izinhliziyo zethu ngokweqiniso futhi ngokweqiniso empilweni engaphezulu kwemvelo kaNkulunkulu, okusenza sikwazi ukundiza sibheke ezulwini siqonde ekuphileni okuphakade. [3]qhathanisa CCC, hhayi. 1997
Ubhapathizo “luhlaka” inhliziyo emiswe kulo. Ngiyamangala lapho ngisembhabhathizweni, ngoba kungaleso sikhathi lapho kusebenza khona ukufa nokuvuka kukaKristu emphefumulweni. Yilokho uJesu ahluphekela khona: ukungcwelisa nokulungisa omunye umuntu ukuze abenze bafanelekele ukuphila okuphakade ngamanzi oMbhapathizo. Uma amehlo ethu ebengavuleleka endaweni yomoya, ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi besingazobona izingelosi kuphela ezikhothamele ukukhuleka ngaleso sikhathi, kodwa nenkampani yabangcwele idumisa futhi idumise uNkulunkulu.
Kukule “luhlaka” loBhaphathizo lapho “izintambo” zamanye amaSakramente ziboshelwe khona. Futhi lapha siqonda isidingo nesipho ukuthi ubuPristi Obungcwele buyini.
Isikhonzi esigcotshiwe yisibopho seSakramente esixhumanisa izenzo zamathempeli nalokho okwashiwo nabakwenziwa ngabaphostoli, ngabo, emazwini nasezenzweni zikaKristu, umthombo nesisekelo samaSakramente. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 1120
Ngompristi, uJesu Kristu ufaka lezi “zintambo” zesakramente ezinhliziyweni zabantu. Ngikhuleka ngaleLente Retreat, ukuthi uNkulunkulu anikeze ngamunye wenu indlala nokoma kwamaSakramente, ngoba ngempela yithina esihlangana noJesu, ukuthi “amandla… aqhamuke.” [4]qhathanisa CCC, hhayi. 1116 Ekubuyisaneni, ulalela usizi lwethu, abese esithulula ezonweni zethu; kuMthendeleko, Usithinta ngokoqobo futhi asondle; ekuGcotshweni kwabagulayo, welula ububele baKhe, futhi asiduduze futhi asiphilise ekuhluphekeni kwethu; Ngokuqinisekisa, Usinika uMoya waKhe; nakuMiyalo Engcwele noMshado, uJesu ulungiselela owesilisa ubupristi baKhe obungunaphakade, futhi ulungiselela owesilisa nowesifazane isithombe sikaZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele.
Njengoba izintambo eziboshelwe ebhaluni zisiza ukuyigcina igxile kubhasikidi, namaSakramente ngokunjalo asigcina sigxile entandweni kaNkulunkulu. Empeleni, amaSakramente yiwo aqinisa futhi agcine inhliziyo “ivulekile” ukwamukela “amalangabi” anamandla kaMoya oNgcwele, okungukuthi, umusa.
Manje, noma nini lapho senza isono esikhulu, kunjengokungathi sinquma ezinye zezintambo ezigcina inhliziyo ixhumana noNkulunkulu. Inhliziyo ilahlekelwa amandla nomusa wenziwa buthakathaka, kepha ayihlukaniswa ngokuphelele. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukwenza isono esibulalayo ukunquma zonke izibopho futhi udabule inhliziyo yomuntu ngokuphelele entandweni kaNkulunkulu, kusuka "ohlakeni" lweBaptism, futhi ngaleyo ndlela, "i-propane burner" kaMoya oNgcwele. Umphefumulo odabukisayo wehlela emhlabeni njengoba ukufa okubandayo nokomoya kungena enhliziyweni.
Kepha makabongwe uNkulunkulu, sinalo iSakramente Lokuvuma izono, eliqabula inhliziyo kuNkulunkulu nakuzo izisusa zoMbhapathizo, elibopha umphefumulo futhi empilweni kaMoya. Vuliwe Usuku 9, Ngikhulume ngamandla alesi Sakramente kanye nesidingo sokuyivama njalo. Ngithandazela ukuthi ukhule usithande lesi sithelo seSiphambano esingakholeki esiphilisayo, esinikelayo, futhi esiqabula umphefumulo.
Ngifuna ukuphetha namuhla ngamagama ambalwa kuMthendeleko, ngubani UJesu uqobo. NjengamaKatolika, kunesidingo esiphuthumayo sokubuyisa uthando lwethu ngoKristu kuMthendeleko Ongcwele, ukuqinisa ubudlelwano bethu nalesi Sakramente esingachazeki. Ngoba ngokungafani nezinye “izintambo” ongathi, ugijime uqonde “kubhasikidi” uye ebhaluni, amaGolden Bonds eMthendeleko azisonge azungeze zonke ezinye izintambo, ngaleyo ndlela aqinise wonke amanye amaSakramente. Uma ulwela ukufeza izifungo zakho zokubhabhadiswa, khona-ke yandisa uthando lwakho nokuzinikela kwakho kuMthendeleko. Uma ulwela ukwethembeka kwizifungo zakho zomshado noma ubupristi, bese uphendukela kuJesu kuMthendeleko. Uma imililo yesiQinisekiso icishiwe futhi “isibani somshayeli” sentshiseko yakho sicima, bese ugijimela kuMthendeleko, okuyi Inhliziyo Engcwele ivutha amalangabi ngothando lwakho. Noma ngabe yiliphi iSakramente, liyoqiniswa njalo nguMthendeleko, ngoba uMthendeleko nguJesu Kristu, iNkosi evukile nge-personi.
Kodwa kusho ukuthini “ukuphendukela” kuMthendeleko? Lapha, angikusikiseli ukuthi wenze ukuzinikela okukhulu futhi okusindayo ukuze uvimbe uthando lwakho lweSakramente elibusisiwe. Kunalokho, lezi ziphakamiso eziyisikhombisa yizenzo ezincane zothando ezingasebenza njengokokhela umlilo wothando lwakho kuJesu.
I. Noma nini lapho ungena esontweni lakho, njengoba uzibusisa ngamanzi aNgcwele, jikela ngaseTabernakele bese wenza umnsalo omncane. Ngale ndlela, umuntu wokuqala omaziyo endlini engcwele yiNkosi yamakhosi. Futhi-ke, uma ufaka isihlalo sakho, futhi, gxilisa amehlo akho etabernakele, futhi wenze ukuhlonishwa okunenhlonipho. Lapho-ke, lapho ushiya iSonto, khetha, futhi njengoba uzibusisa okokugcina, jika ukhothame futhi kuJesu eSigrameni Esibusisiwe. Izenzo ezincane ezifana nalezi zifana nokuvula i-valve ye-propane, okusiza ukukhulisa inhliziyo kakhulu ngothando.
II. Ngesikhathi seMisa, gqugquzela ukholo lwakho ngemikhuleko emincane: “Jesu, yenza inhliziyo yami ikulungele Ukwemukela…. Jesu, ngiyakuthanda… Ngiyabonga Jesu ngokuza kithi… ”Mangaki amaKatolika amukela uJesu namuhla, engazi ukuthi ethinta uNkulunkulu? Lapho ethola iSidlo ngenhliziyo ephazamisekile nehlukene phakathi, uJesu wathi kuSt. Faustina:
… Uma kukhona omunye umuntu enhliziyweni enjalo, angikwazi ukukuthwala futhi ngiyishiye ngokushesha leyo nhliziyo, ngihambe Nami zonke izipho nomusa engiwulungiselele umphefumulo. Futhi umphefumulo awukuqapheli nokuhamba Kwami. Emva kwesikhathi esithile, ubuze bangaphakathi nokungagculiseki kuzonaka [emphefumulweni]. -Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, Idayari yaseSt Faustina, n. 1683
III. Uma uyokwamukela uJesu, yenza umnsalo omncane njengoba usondela kuMthendeleko, njengoba ubungakwenza uma usondela kumuntu wasebukhosini. Futhi, njengesibonakaliso senhlonipho ejulile, ungathola uJesu ngolimi.
IV. Okulandelayo, kunokuba ujoyine isikhubekiso esijwayelekile sokuphuma (imvamisa ngaphambi kokuba iculo lasesikhawulweni liphele), hlala esihlalweni sakho ekugcineni kweMisa, cula amavesi ambalwa okugcina okudumisa iNkosi, bese usebenzisa imizuzu embalwa ekubongeleni ukuthi uJesu uyiqiniso futhi ngokweqiniso ngokomzimba khona kuwe. Khuluma Naye kusuka enhliziyweni ngamazwi akho, noma ngomkhuleko omuhle njengo U-Anima Christi. [5]I-Anima Christi; ewtn.com Mfunele umusa wosuku noma lweviki elizayo. Kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke, mthande… umthande futhi uMthande, ukhona kuwe… Uma nje ubungabona inhlonipho ingelosi yakho ekulondolozayo ethanda ngayo uJesu kuwe ngalezo zikhathi.
V. Uma kungenzeka, thatha ihora elilodwa ngeviki, noma isigamu sehora, uvakashele uJesu kwenye indawo eTabernakele lesonto. Uyabona, uma uphumela ngaphandle kanye ngesonto ngesikhathi sokudla kwasemini bese uhlala ubheke ilanga, ubuzoshesha ngokushesha. Ngokufanayo, konke okudingeka ukwenze ukuhlala ubheke ebusweni be- wakhe kaNkulunkulu. Njengoba uSt. John Paul II asho,
UMthendeleko uyigugu elingenakuqhathaniswa: ngokungagcini nje ngokuwugubha kepha nangokuthandaza ngaphambi kwawo ngaphandle kweMisa, sinikwe amandla okuxhumana nomthombo womusa uqobo. —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, I-Eccelisia de Eucharistia,n. 25; www.v Vatican.va
VI. Lapho ungakwazi ukuya eMiseni, ungenza lokho okubizwa ngokuthi “isidlo esingokomoya”. Ungafunda kabanzi ngalokhu ku UJesu Ulapha!.
VII. Noma nini lapho udlula eSontweni LamaKatolika, yenza iSign of the Cross bese wenza umthandazo omncane onjengokuthi, “Jesu, Isinkwa Sokuphila, ngiyakuthanda,” noma yini esenhliziyweni yakho njengoba udlula kuYe — Lowo ohlala lapho njengo “isiboshwa sothando” kulelo Tabernakele elincane.
Lezi izindlela ezincane kodwa ezijulile ezizokusiza ukuthi "uguqulwe ngokwenziwa musha kwengqondo yakho," ukuvuselelwa kwendlela obona ngayo uJesu eSakramenteni elibusisiwe. Khumbula, njengomphefumulo kuNarrow Pilgrim Road, uMthendeleko ukudla kwakho kohambo.
Okokugcina, uma inhloso yomkhuleko ukungena emazulwini e inyunyana noNkulunkulu, yenziwe ngokoqobo ngoMthendeleko oNgcwele, “ongumthombo nengqungquthela” yokholo lwethu.
… Ngokungafani nelinye isakramente, imfihlakalo [yeSidlo] iphelele kangangokuba isiletha ekuphakameni kwayo yonke into enhle: nansi inhloso enkulu yazo zonke izifiso zomuntu, ngoba lapha sifinyelela kuNkulunkulu noNkulunkulu uzihlanganisa nathi inyunyana ephelele kakhulu. —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, I-Ecclesia de Eucharistia, n. 4, www.vatican.va
