Ndemanga pa Uthenga Wabwino wa Fr Luigi Maria Epicoco: Mk 7, 14-23
«Ndimvereni nonse ndikumvetsetsa bwino: palibe chilichonse kunja kwa munthu chomwe, cholowa mwa iye, chitha kumuwononga; m'malo mwake ndi zinthu zotuluka mwa munthu zomwe zimamuipitsa ». Tikadapanda kukhala naveve, lero bwenzi tikukondweretsadi chitsimikizo cha Yesu ichi.Timathera miyoyo yathu kufuna kukonza dzikoli mozungulira, ndipo sitizindikira kuti zovuta zomwe timamva sizobisika padziko lapansi koma mkati mwa aliyense . Timaweruza mikhalidwe, zochitika ndi anthu omwe timakumana nawo powauza "zabwino kapena zoyipa", koma sitizindikira kuti zonse zomwe Mulungu wachita sizingakhale zoyipa. Ngakhale mdierekezi, monga cholengedwa, sali woyipa. Ndi zisankho zake zomwe zimamupweteka, osati chilengedwe chake. Amakhalabe mngelo mwa iye yekha, koma ndi mwa kusankha kwake kwaulere pomwe adagwa. Ophunzitsa zaumulungu a Orthodox amati pachimake pa moyo wauzimu ndichisoni.

Kuti zomwe sitikufuna zoipa pamoyo wathu sizingachokere kuzinthu zomwe zili kunja kwa ife, koma nthawi zonse ndipo mulimonsemo kuchokera pazomwe tingasankhe mkati mwathu:
«Zomwe zimatuluka mwa munthu, izi zimaipitsa munthu. M'malo mwake, kuchokera mkati, ndiye kuti, kuchokera m'mitima ya anthu, zolinga zoyipa zimatuluka: chiwerewere, kuba, kupha, chigololo, umbombo, zoyipa, chinyengo, manyazi, njiru, miseche, kunyada, kupusa. Zinthu zoyipa zonsezi zimatuluka mkati ndikuipitsa munthu ». Ndikosavuta kunena "anali mdierekezi", kapena "mdierekezi adandipangitsa kuti ndichite". Chowonadi, komabe, ndi china: mdierekezi akhoza kukunyengererani, kukuyesani, koma ngati muchita zoyipa ndichifukwa mwasankha kuzichita. Kupanda kutero tonsefe tiyenera kuyankha ngati olamulira achi Nazi kumapeto kwa nkhondo: tiribe udindo, tangotsatira malamulo. Uthenga Wabwino wamasiku ano, umatiuza kuti, chifukwa tili ndi udindo, sitingathe kuimba mlandu aliyense pazomwe tasankha kapena zomwe sitiyenera kuchita. WOLEMBA: Don Luigi Maria Epicoco
