NINI kuziwa ekukhipheni isono ngale Lent, asikwazi ukuhlukanisa isihe esiphambanweni, noma iSiphambano emseni. Ukufundwa kwanamuhla kuyinhlanganisela enamandla yakho kokubili…
Ekhuluma nalawa mhlawumbe amadolobha adume kakhulu ngokonakala emlandweni, iSodoma neGomora, iNkosi yenza isimemezelo esishukumisayo:
Wozani-ke, silungisise izinto, usho uJehova; noma izono zenu zibomvu kakhulu, ziyakuba mhlophe njengeqhwa; noma zibomvu ngokubomvu, zingaba mhlophe njengoboya bezimvu. (Ukufunda kokuqala)
NgekaKristu isihe lokho kwenza sikwazi ukubhekana neqiniso elibuhlungu ngathi. Inhliziyo Engcwele kaJesu ivame ukufanekiswa njengomlilo ovutha amalangabi, ovutha ngothando olungasho lutho. Umuntu angadonswa kanjani yimfudumalo yalo mlilo Wesihe Saphezulu?
O mphefumulo ocwile ebumnyameni, ungalahli ithemba. Konke akukalahlekile. Woza uthembe uNkulunkulu wakho, oluthando nomusa… Makungabikho noyedwa umphefumulo owesabayo ukusondela kimi, noma izono zawo zibomvu tebhu… Angikwazi ukujezisa ngisho nesoni esikhulu kunazo zonke uma sinxusa ububele baMi, kepha Ngokuphambene nalokho, ngiyamthethelela ngesihe Sami esingaqondakali futhi esingaqondakali. —UJesu kuya eSt Faustina, Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, IDayari, n. 1486, 699, 1146
Kepha njengoba umuntu esondela kuye, i ukukhanya kwaleli Flame liphinde liveze izono zomuntu nobukhulu bobumnyama bakhe bangaphakathi, okuvame ukudala ukuthi umphefumulo obuthakathaka ubuye uvalo ngokwesaba, ukudumazeka nokuzidabukela. Njengoba iHubo namuhla lisho:
Ngizokuqondisa ngokuzidweba phambi kwamehlo akho.
Ungasabi ukuzibona njengoba unjalo! Ngoba leli qiniso lizokwenza qala ukunikhulula. Kepha angicabangi ukuthi kwanele ukwethembela emseni Wakhe. Sisindiswa ngomusa ngokukholwa, [1]cf. Efe 2:8 yebo… kepha singcweliswa ngu “Sithwala isiphambano sethu nsuku zonke” [2]isib. ULuka 9:23 nokulandela ezinyathelweni zikaJesu — kuze kufike eKalvari. Umphefumulo ophinda uthi, “uNkulunkulu uzongixolela, Unomusa,” kepha futhi akasithathi isiphambano sakhe ungumbukeli nje wobuKristu kunokuba abe yingxenye yalokhu — njengabaFarisi beVangeli lanamuhla:
Ngoba bayashumayela kodwa abakwenzi.
Ukuze sikhiphe ukhula lwemikhuba eyisono, asikwazi ukumane sisuse amahlamvu ku-Confession, ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso. Njengokhula nje, isono sizokhula sibuyele emuva uma ngabe izimpande phuma futhi. UJesu wathi: "Noma ngubani ofisa ukungilandela kumele aziphike." [3]I-Matt 16: 24 Kufanele sishiye ukuvuma izono sikulungele ukuzidela, ukuze singene ngesibindi empini yokomoya nezimpande. Futhi uNkulunkulu uzobe ekhona ukuze asikhulule futhi asisize, ngoba ngaphandle kwakhe, akukho "esingakwenza". [4]isib. Johane 15:5
Qaphela, ume uqinile okholweni, yiba nesibindi, uqine. (1 Kor 13:16)
Impi engokomoya ifaka ukuthi inani elithile lesiyalo — isiphambano — kumele lingene ezimpilweni zethu:
Ufundelani izimiso zami, uvuma isivumelwano sami nomlomo wakho, kepha uyazonda? isiyalo futhi waphonsa amazwi ami ngemuva kwakho? (Ihubo lanamuhla)
Ingabe uwele esonweni esifanayo kaninginingi? Bese uyivuma ngobuqotho kaninginingi, ungalokothi ungabaze isihe sikaNkulunkulu — Lowo othethelela “amashumi ayisikhombisa nesikhombisa aphindwe kasikhombisa.” [5]isib. Mat 18:22 Kepha-ke, ake iqale ukukukhokhela kancane. Uma uphinda ukhubeka kulesi sono, dela okuthile obukade ukulindele: inkomishi yekhofi, isidlo, uhlelo lwe-TV, intuthu, njll. Kunokulimaza ukuzethemba kwakho (uNkulunkulu akavumeli lesi sizukulwane singakhululeki!) , ukwenziwa kwemali empeleni uyazithanda ngoba, ukona, ukuzizonda.
Uyathandwa. UNkulunkulu uyakuthanda. Manje qala ukuzithanda ngokuba yilokho oyikho ngempela. Futhi lokho kusho ukuthatha isiphambano sokuzidela, kusiphule ukhula oluminyanisa uqobo lwangempela olwenziwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu… isiphambano esiholela empilweni nasenkululeko. Ngoba "noma ubani ozithobayo uzophakanyiswa." [6]IVangeli lanamuhla
