UMSEBENZI WOKUJONGA NGOKULULA
Kwiintsuku ezidlulileyo siqwalasele inceba kaThixo; ngoku makhe siqwalasele ubulungisa bakhe.
Ingcinga yokulunga kukaThixo iyathuthuzela, kodwa ke okusesikweni kukaThixo kuneziqhamo ngakumbi, nangona kungathandeki. UThixo akafanele azithathele isiqingatha kuphela, njengoko uSaint Basil esitsho, oko kukuthi, ukucinga ngaye kuphela; UThixo ulilungisa; Kwaye kuba ukusetyenziswa gwenxa kwenceba kaThixo kuxhaphakile, masicamngce ngobungqongqo bokusesikweni kukaThixo, ukuze singangeni kwilishwa lokuphathwa gadalala kokulunga kweNtliziyo eNgcwele.
Emva kwesono, kufuneka sithembe inceba, cinga ngokulunga kwentliziyo kaThixo, eyamkela umphefumlo oguqukayo ngothando novuyo. Ukuphelelwa lithemba kokuxolelwa, kwanasemva kwenani lezono ezinzulu, kusisithuko kwintliziyo ka Yesu, umthombo wokulunga.
Kodwa ngaphambi kokwenza isono esinzulu, umntu makacinge ngobulungisa oboyikisayo bukaThixo, obunokulibazisa ukohlwaya umoni (kwaye le yinceba!), Kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo uya kumohlwaya, nokuba koku okanye kobunye ubomi.
Abaninzi bayona, becinga: UYesu ulungile, unguYise wenceba; Ndizakwenza isono emva koko ndizosivuma. Ngokuqinisekileyo uThixo uyakundixolela. Kukangaphi endixolele! ...
USanta Alphonsus uthi: Abo basebenzisa inceba yakhe ukumcaphukisa abayifanelanga inceba kaThixo. Nabani na owona ubulungisa bukaThixo unokufumana inceba. Kodwa ngubani owona inceba ngokuyisebenzisa gwenxa, iya kubhenela kubani?
UThixo uthi: Musa ukuthi: Inceba kaThixo inkulu kwaye uya kuba nemfesane ngobuninzi bezono zam (… ukuze ndone!) (INtshu., VI).
Ukulunga kukaThixo akunasiphelo, kodwa izenzo zenceba yakhe, kubudlelwane nomphefumlo ngamnye, zigqityiwe. Ukuba iNkosi yayihlala inyamezele umoni, akukho mntu uya esihogweni; endaweni yoko siyazi ukuba imiphefumlo emininzi iyagwetywa.
UThixo uthembisa uxolelo kwaye ulunikezela ngokuzithandela kumphefumlo oguqukayo, ezimisele ukushiya isono; kodwa nabani na owonayo, utshilo uSt.Augustine, esebenzisa kakubi ukulunga kukaThixo, akaguquki, kodwa ehlekisa ngoThixo. - utsho uPaul Paul (amaGalati, VI, 7).
Ithemba lomoni emva kokuziva enetyala, xa kukho inguquko yokwenyani, liyathandeka kwintliziyo kaYesu; kodwa ithemba laboni abantamo ilisikizi kaThixo (Yobhi, XI, 20).
Abanye bathi: INkosi yandisebenzisa kakhulu kwixesha elidlulileyo; Ndiyathemba ukuba naye uza kuyisebenzisa kum kwixesha elizayo. Impendulo:
Kwaye ngale nto ufuna ukubuyela umkhubekisile? Ngaba ucinga ukuba ngale ndlela uyabucukuceza ukulunga kukaThixo kwaye udinise umonde wakhe? Kuyinyani ukuba iNkosi ikunyamezele kwixa elidlulileyo, kodwa ikwenzile oko ukukunika ixesha lokuba uguquke ezonweni zakho kwaye uzilile, hayi ukukunika ixesha lokumcaphukisa kwakhona!
Kubhaliwe kwincwadi yeeNdumiso: ukuba awuguqukanga, iNkosi iya kulijika ikrele layo (Iindumiso, VII, 13). Ngubani oyisebenzisa gwenxa inceba kaThixo, woyike ukushiywa nguThixo! Nokuba ufa ngesiquphe ngelixa esona okanye ehluthwe ubabalo oluninzi lukaThixo, ke akasayi kuba nawo amandla okushiya ububi kwaye uyakufa esonweni. Ukushiya uThixo kukhokelela ekumfamekeni kwengqondo nasekuqaqadekeni kwentliziyo. Umphefumlo onenkani ebubini unjengomhlaba ongenaludonga kwaye ungenalo uthango. INkosi ithi: Ndiza kususa uthango, kwaye nesidiliya siya kubhuqwa (Isaya, V, 5).
Xa umphefumlo usebenzisa kakubi ukulunga kukaThixo, uyashiywa ngale ndlela: UThixo uyasusa uthango lokoyika, ukuzisola kwesazela, ukukhanya kwengqondo kunye nazo zonke izilo ezimbi ziya kungena kuloo mphefumlo (Iindumiso, CIII, 20) .
Umoni oshiywe nguThixo uyayidela yonke into, uxolo lwentliziyo, iingcebiso, izulu! Zama ukonwabela kwaye uphazamiseke. INkosi iya kubona, ilinde; kodwa okukhona isohlwayo silibaziseka, kokukhona siya kuba sikhulu. Siyabenzela inceba abakhohlakeleyo, utsho uThixo, bangabi saphila. (Isaya, XXVI, 10).
Owu, sesohlwayo esinjani xa iNkosi ishiya umphefumlo onesono esonweni sayo kwaye kubonakala ngathi ayiyiceli! UThixo ulindele ukuba enze amaxhoba obulungisa bakhe kubomi obungunaphakade. Kuyothusa ukuwela ezandleni zoThixo ophilayo!
Umprofeti uYeremiya uyabuza: Kutheni le nto yonke into ihamba ngokwezongendawo? Emva koko uphendula: Wena, Owu Thixo, ziqokelele njengomhlambi kwindawo yokuxhela (Yeremiya, XII, 1).
Akukho sijeziso sikhulu njengokuvumela uThixo ukuba ongeze izono ezonweni, ngokutsho kukaDavide: Bongeza ubugwenxa ebugwenxeni ... Mabacinywe encwadini yabaphilayo. (Iindumiso, 68).
Moni, cinga! Uyona kwaye uThixo, ngenceba yakhe, uthule, kodwa akasoloko ethe cwaka. Xa kufika ixesha lobulungisa, uya kuthi kuwe: 'Ubenzile obo bugwenxa ndaza ndathi cwaka. Ukholelwe, ungenabulungisa, ukuba ndifana nawe! Ndiza kukuthatha ndikujike kobakho ubuso! (Iindumiso, 49).
Inceba esetyenziswe yiNkosi engonanga moni iya kuba ngunobangela womgwebo ogwetyiweyo nowokugwetywa.
Imiphefumlo ezinikeleyo yeNtliziyo eNgcwele, enkosi uYesu ngenceba akusebenzisileyo ngaphambili; thembisa ukuba soze ukubusebenzise kakubi ukulunga kwakhe; Lungisa namhlanje, kwaye yonke imihla, ukuxhatshazwa okungenakubalwa okwenziwa ngabakhohlakeleyo benceba kaThixo kwaye ke uya kuyithuthuzela intliziyo yakhe ebandezelekileyo!
