OH, yeka ukuthi kube ihlobo elingakanani! Konke engikuthintile kuphenduke uthuli. Izimoto, imishini, ugesi, izinto zikagesi, amathayi… cishe yonke into yephukile. Yeka ukuthambekela kokuqukethwe! Bengizibonela mathupha amazwi kaJesu:
Ningazibekeli ingcebo emhlabeni, lapho inundu nokubola kubhubhisa khona, nalapho amasela egqekeza ebe. Kepha zibekeni ingcebo ezulwini, lapho kungoni nundu nakubola, nalapho amasela engagqekezi ebe. Ngokuba lapho kukhona ingcebo yakho, lapho iyakuba lapho nenhliziyo yakho. (Math 6: 19-21)
Sekukaningi ngithola ukuthi ngilahlekelwe ngamazwi futhi ngifaka iqiniso elijulile: ayikho ifomula kaNkulunkulu. Kwesinye isikhathi ngizwa abantu bethi, "Uma unokukholwa nje, uNkulunkulu uzokuphulukisa" noma "Uma ukholwa nje, uzokubusisa." Kodwa lokho akulona iqiniso ngaso sonke isikhathi. NjengoJesu, kwesinye isikhathi impendulo ithi ayikho enye indebe ngaphandle kweNdlela Yesiphambano; njengoJesu, kwesinye isikhathi ayikho enye indlela kodwa edlula ethuneni. Futhi lokho kusho ukuthi kufanele singene embusweni lapho, njengoJesu, singamemeza kuphela, “Baba, ungishiyeleni?” Ngikholwe, ngishilo ukuthi izikhathi eziningi kuleli hlobo njengoba ngibuke ukuzinza kokuqala kwezezimali esibe nakho eminyakeni engamashumi amabili yenkonzo cishe kudilika ngobusuku obubodwa. Kepha kaninginingi, nami ngazithola sengithi, “Nkosi, sizohamba siye kubani? Nguwe onamazwi okuphila okuphakade. Yini umhlaba onganginikeza yona? Imali? Udumo? Ukuphepha? Luthuli, uthuli. Kodwa Nkosi, angazi ukuthi ukuphi njengamanje… kodwa noma kunjalo, ngiyethemba Wena. ”
Yebo, lelo “yizwi manje” leBandla ngalelihora: dedela, dedela, dedela. UNkulunkulu unokuthile okungcono angasinika khona, kepha angeke lapho izandla zethu zigcwele. Kufanele siwuyeke lo mhlaba, yizilingo zawo nokunethezeka kwawo ukuze uBaba asinikeze kona Ukuza Ubungcwele Obusha NobuNkulunkulu. Uma uNkulunkulu exwayisa, kungenxa yokuthi Uyasithanda. Futhi uma ekhuza, kungenxa yokuthi uzosibusisa. Endimeni efanayo eVangelini likaLuka, uJesu uthi:
Zonke izizwe zomhlaba zifuna lezi zinto, futhi uYihlo uyazi ukuthi niyazidinga [ukudla, okokwembatha, njll.]. Esikhundleni salokho, funa umbuso wakhe, futhi lezi ezinye izinto uzonikezwa zona ngaphandle kwalokho. Ungesabi futhi, mhlambi omncane, ngoba uYihlo uthokozile ukukunika umbuso. Thengisa okungokwakho uphe izipho. Nikani izikhwama zemali ezingagugiyo, ingcebo engapheli ezulwini okungekho sela elingayifinyelela noma ibhu eliyibhubhise. (Luka 12: 30-33)
UBaba ufuna ukusinika umbuso! Yilokho okushiwo izinhlungu zamanje zokubeletha. UBaba usezokwakha emhlabeni umbuso kaKrestu ngendlela entsha ukuze intando yaKhe yenziwe emhlabeni "Njengasezulwini." Yebo, kufanele siqhubeke nokuphila njengomsebenzi wesikhashana, ngoba asikwazi nakanjani “Zazini izikhathi noma izinkathi uBaba azimise ngamandla akhe.” [1]Izenzo 1: 7 Futhi nokho, uJesu enza sithi kufanele sifunde “izimpawu zezikhathi.” Lokhu akukhona ukuphikisana. Cabanga ngale ndlela. Lapho kuba nesiphepho kusihlwa futhi amafu amnyama agcwalise isibhakabhaka, awukwazi ukusho ngqo ukuthi ilanga lizoshona nini noma nini. Kodwa uyazi ukuthi kuyeza; uyazi ukuthi liseduze ukushintsha kokukhanya… Kodwa nini ngqo, awukwazi ukusho.
Kunjalo nasezikhathini zethu… a Isivunguvungu Esikhulu manje ivuleka emhlabeni wonke isitha iLanga, ukukhanya kwaphezulu kweqiniso. Siyazi ukuthi ihora seliya ngokuya kuba mnyama, ngoba siyabona umhlaba uya ngokuya ulahleka futhi ukwanda komthetho kudlanga. Kepha ukuthi le nkathi izophela nini, asikwazi ngokuqinisekile. Kepha siyazi ukuthi kuyeza ngoba siyabona ukukhanya kokholo kufiphele!
Ezinsukwini zethu, lapho ezindaweni ezinkulu zomhlaba ukholo lusengozini yokufa njengelangabi elingasenawo uphethiloli, okubaluleke kakhulu ukwenza uNkulunkulu abekhona kulo mhlaba nokukhombisa abesilisa nabesifazane indlela eya kuNkulunkulu. Hhayi noma yimuphi unkulunkulu, kodwa uNkulunkulu owakhuluma eSinayi; kuloyo Nkulunkulu ubuso bakhe esibubonayo othandweni obucindezela “kuze kube sekupheleni” (cf. Jn 13: 1) - kuJesu Kristu, wabethelwa esiphambanweni wavuka. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Incwadi Yobungcwele Bakhe uPapa Benedict XVI kubo Bonke Ababhishobhi Bomhlaba, Mashi 12, 2009; v Vatican.va
Leli elinye igama "manje" kulo mzuzu. Beka enye indlela:
Ekugcineni, ukuphulukiswa kungavela kuphela ekukholweni okujulile othandweni lukaNkulunkulu lokubuyisana. Ukuqinisa lolukholo, ukulondla nokulenza ligqame kungumsebenzi oyinhloko weSonto ngalelihora… Ngibeka lemikhuleko ekukhulekeleni kweNtombi Engcwele, uMama woMhlengi. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ikheli Elibhekiswe Kumkhosi WaseRoma, ngoDisemba 20, 2010
Kuningi okukhulunywayo kokuthi kufanele siwavikele kanjani amaqiniso obuKhatholika kwizimpisi ezidla umhlambi, zisabalalisa izimvu ngokudideka, futhi zisinikele ekuhlatshweni. 
Yebo, konke lokho kuyiqiniso — iSonto lisenkingeni njengoba oJudasi behamba phakathi kwethu. Kepha asikwazi ukukhohlwa ukuthi iQiniso linegama: UJesu! UbuKatolika abuyona nje iqoqo lemithetho nemiyalo engaguquki; kuyinto Ukuphila indlela eya ebunganeni nasekuhlanganeni noNkulunkulu oziqu zintathu, okuyincazelo yenjabulo. Umsebenzi wethu ukushumayela "uJesu Kristu, obethelwe esiphambanweni futhi wavuka," okungumyalezo ohamba phambili wokuthi UNkulunkulu usithandile kuqala nokuthi siyikho sisindiswe ngomusa ngokukholwa kulolo thando. Okulandelayo-ke, yimpendulo yethu (yokuziphatha), okungukuthobela izwi Lakhe, eliyimpilo uqobo.
Uma nigcina imiyalo yami, niyakuhlala othandweni lwami, njengalokho nami ngigcinile imiyalo kaBaba ngihlala othandweni lwakhe. Nginitshelile lokhu, ukuze intokozo yami ibe kini, nokuthokoza kwenu kuphelele. (Johane 15: 10-11)
Izinga esingahlanganyeli ngalo Naye kepha ekuhlanganyeleni, kunalokho, “nengcebo yasemhlabeni,” yileli banga lapho “amabhu, ukubola, namasela” ezofika afike adle futhi asiphuce injabulo nokuthula kwethu. Namuhla, ngubani ozotshela umhlaba leli qiniso uma kungenjalo thina? Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngubani khombisa umhlaba ukuthi lokhu kubukeka kanjani uma kungenjalo thina?
Ngakho-ke, kulobubusuku ngizithola ngibhekene namazwi kaSt. Paul:
… Isibopho sesibekiwe kimi, futhi maye kimi uma ngingakushumayeli! (1 KwabaseKhorinte 9:16)
O, Jesu waseNazaretha, ngihawukele ungangihluleli kanzima. Njengo-Eliya, bengifisa ukubalekela ehlane ngife. NjengoJona, bengifisa ukuphonswa olwandle futhi ngicwile ezinkingeni zami.

Namuhla, uthumele umkhoma ukuba ungiphinde futhi ungihlolisise. Namuhla, isithunywa esiyingelosi singene esitokisini sami esimnyama simenyezelwa: “Hambani niyotshela uJohane lokho enikubonile nenikuzwile: izimpumputhe ziyabona, izinyonga ziyahamba, abanochoko bayahlanjululwa, izithulu ziyezwa, abafileyo bayavuswa, abampofu bashunyayelwa izindaba ezinhle. Ubusisiwe lowo ongacasuki kimi. ” [3]ULuka 7: 22-23
O, Nkosi Jesu, ngithethelele ngokuzikhukhumeza! Ngixolele ngokuba njalo “Ukhathazeka futhi ukhathazekile ngezinto eziningi,” hhayi ingxenye engcono,[4]ULuka 10: 42 okungukuhlala ezinyaweni zaKho, okuxhunywe ezwini lakho nasemehlweni Akho. Ungixolele ngokucasuka ngentando yaKho eyekelele eye yavumela isiphepho ezindabeni zomndeni wethu…
Ngoba ulimaza, kodwa uyabopha; uyashaya, kepha izandla zakhe ziyaphilisa. (Jobe 5:18)

… Isibopho sesibekiwe kimi, futhi maye kimi uma ngingakushumayeli! (1 KwabaseKhorinte 9:16)
Okokugcina, ngiyaqinisa ukuthembela Kwami izithembiso. Phakathi kwabo, lowo "uPetru uyidwala", hhayi ngoba enamandla kodwa iZwi laKho linamandla onke. Ngiyaqinisa ukuthembela Kwakho imithandazo, ikakhulukazi kuPetru ngenkathi uthi, “Ngikhulekile ukuba ukukholwa kwakho kungapheli; futhi lapho usubuyile, kufanele uqinise abafowenu. ” [5]ULuka 22: 32 Futhi ngiyaqinisa ukuthembela kwami kusiqinisekiso Sakho sokuthi “Phezu kwaleli dwala [likaPeter] ngizokwakha iSonto lami, futhi amandla okufa ngeke alinqobe.” [6]I-Matt 16: 18 Ngempela, kwaba owalandela uPetru owamemezela:
INkosi icacisa ngokusobala ukuthi abalandela uPetru abasoze baphambuka noma nini enkolweni yamaKhatholika, kepha kunalokho bazokhumbula abanye futhi baqinise abathandabuzayo.-ISedis Primatus, Novemba 12, 1199; icashunwe nguJOHN PAUL II, General Audience, Dec. 2, 1992;v Vatican.va; okokugcina.it
Futhi-ke ngithandazela ukuthi, kwisigungu esizayo sase-Amazonia, uPapa Francis afake amagama awamemezele kusinodi emndenini:
UPapa, kulo mongo, akayona inkosi ephakeme kodwa kunalokho uyinceku ephezulu - "inceku yezinceku zikaNkulunkulu"; isiqinisekiso sokulalela nokuvumelana kweSonto nentando kaNkulunkulu, iVangeli likaKristu, kanye neNkambiso yeSonto, ukubeka eceleni yonke imicabango yomuntu siqu, ngaphandle kokuba - ngentando kaKrestu uqobo - "uMfundisi ophakeme noMfundisi wabo bonke abathembekile" futhi naphezu kokujabulela "amandla aphakeme, aphelele, asheshayo, futhi ajwayelekile eSontweni". —UPapa uFrancis, ephetha inkulumo kwiSinodi; I-Catholic News Agency, Okthoba 18, 2014
Sengathi ungamnika yena, nakubo bonke abelusi bethu, uMoya wokuhlakanipha, ukuqonda, ulwazi, kanye nezeluleko ukuze iSonto liphinde likhanye ngokukhanya kwaphezulu kweqiniso kulobu bumnyama obukhona. Ngoba nabo nakanjani bazothi ...
