Ukuzinikela komhla: indlela yokoyisa ukungazinzi okubangelwa lusizi
Xa uziva uphazamisekile ngumnqweno wokukhululeka ebubini okanye ukufezekisa okuhle-ucebisa uSt.Francis de Sales - kuqala kwakho konke hlisa umoya wakho, yamkela isigwebo sakho nentando yakho, emva koko uzame ukuphumelela injongo, ukusebenzisa iindlela ezifanelekileyo enye emva kwenye. Kwaye ngokuthetha ngobuhle, andithethi ngokungakhathali, kodwa ngaphandle koxinzelelo, ngaphandle kokuphazanyiswa nokuphazamiseka; Ngaphandle koko, endaweni yokufumana le nto uyifunayo, ungonakalisa yonke into kwaye uqhathwe kakubi kunangaphambili.
"Ndihlala ndiwuphatha ezandleni zam, Yehova, kwaye andiwulibalanga umthetho wakho", utshilo uDavid (Ps. 118,109). Vavanya amatyeli aliqela ngemini, kodwa ubuncinci ngokuhlwa nangokusa, ukuba uhlala uwuphatha umphefumlo wakho ezandleni zakho, okanye ukuba inkanuko okanye ukunganyaniseki akuphathanga; Bona ukuba unentliziyo yakho ngokomyalelo wakho, okanye ukuba sele iphelelwe sisandla ekuziphatheni ngokungalunganga kothando, intiyo, umona, ukubawa, uloyiko, isidima, uzuko.
Ukuba umfumene ulahlekisiwe, ngaphambi kwayo nayiphi na enye into embize kuwe kwaye ubuyise ubukho bukaThixo, ebeka kwakhona ukuthanda kunye neminqweno phantsi kokuthobela kunye nomphelekeleli wokuthanda kwakhe. Njengomntu owoyikayo ukulahlekelwa yinto ethandekayo kuye, ayibambe nkqi ngesandla sakhe, ngokunjalo nathi, ngokuxelisa uDavide, kufuneka sihlale sisithi: Thixo wam, umphefumlo wam usengozini; ngenxa yoko ndihlala ndisezandleni zam, kwaye ke andiyi kuhlala ndiwulibala umthetho wakho.
Kwiingcinga zakho, nangona zincinci kwaye zibalulekile, ungaze uzivumele ukuba zikuphazamise; kuba emva kwabancinci, xa abantu abadala beza, baya kufumana iintliziyo zabo zikulungele ngakumbi ukuphazamiseka kwaye badideke.
Ukuqonda ukuba ukungaphumli kuyeza, zicebise kuThixo kwaye uqiniseke ukuba ungenzi nantoni na njengoko ufuna umnqweno wakho, kude kube yilapho ukungaphumeleli kuye kwaphela, ngaphandle kokuba akunakwenzeka ukwahluka; kule meko iyimfuneko, ngomzamo ozolileyo nowokuzola, wokuphelisa umnqweno, wokuwubheja ngokusemandleni kunye nokumodareyitha kwawo, kwaye ke ukwenza loo nto, kungahambelani nomnqweno wakho, kodwa ngokwesizathu.
Ukuba unethuba lokufumana ukungaphumeleli kwalowo uqondisa umphefumlo wakho, ngokuqinisekileyo awuyi kuzola ukuzola. Ke uKing St. Louis wanika unyana wakhe lo myalelo ulandelayo: "Xa unentlungu ethile entliziyweni yakho, yixelele ngokukhawuleza kulowo uvuma ubungqina okanye umntu othile othembekileyo kwaye ngentuthuzelo oyakuyifumana, kuya kuba lula kuwe ukuba ubuthwale ububi bakho" (cf Philothea IV, 11).
Kuwe, Ndikhoyo, ndibeka zonke iintlungu zam kunye nembandezelo, ukuze undixhase ekuthwaleni umnqamlezo wam wobungcwalisa mihla le.
