Inceba kaThixo: athetha ntoni uSt. Faustina ngomthandazo
Phambi kweNkosi. Phambi kokuba iNkosi iveze ngokunqula, oonongendi ababini babeguqe ecaleni komnye nomnye. Ndayazi ukuba kuphela ngumthandazo womnye wabo okwaziyo ukuhambisa izulu. Ndonwabile ukuba kukho imiphefumlo ethandekayo kuThixo apha ezantsi.
Ngesinye isihlandlo, ndeva la mazwi ngaphakathi kum: «Ukuba awuzange ubambe zandla zam, ndiza kuthoba isohlwayo ezininzi emhlabeni. Naxa umlomo wakho uthe cwaka, uyakhala kum ngamandla anje ashukuma lonke izulu. Andikwazi ukuwuphepha umthandazo wakho, kuba awundilandeleli njengendawo ekude, kodwa ukhangela ngaphakathi kwam apho ukhoyo.
5. Thandaza. Ngomthandazo unokujongana nalo naluphi na uhlobo lomzabalazo. Umphefumlo kuya kufuneka uthandaze nakweyiphi na imeko okuyo. Kuya kufuneka athandaze kumphefumlo ococekileyo kwaye mhle kuba, kungenjalo, uya kuphulukana nobuhle bawo. Umphefumlo onqwenela ubungcwele kufuneka uthandaze, kuba kungenjalo awuyi kunikwa. Umphefumlo osandula ukuguqulwa kufuneka uthandaze ukuba awufuni ukubuyela umva. Umphefumlo otshone ezonweni kufuneka uthandaze ukuze uphume kuwo. Akukho mphefumlo ukhululweyo ekuthandazeni, kuba kungokuthandaza ezantsi iinceba. Xa sithandaza, kufuneka sisebenzise ukuqonda, ukuthanda kunye neemvakalelo.
6. Wathandaza ngamandla. Ngenye ingokuhlwa, ndingena ecaweni, ndeva la mazwi emphefumlweni wam: «Emva kokuba ndingene kwintlungu, uYesu wathandaza ngamandla amakhulu». Ndayazi ke ngoko ukuba kungakanani ukuzingisa ekuthatheni ukuthandaza kwaye, ngamanye amaxesha, usindiso lwethu luxhomekeke ngqo kulo mthandazo udinisayo. Ukuzingisa emthandazweni, umphefumlo kufuneka uzixhobise ngomonde kwaye ngenkalipho woyise ubunzima bangaphakathi nangaphandle. Ubunzima bangaphakathi kukudinwa, ukudimazeka, ukoma, izilingo; ezingaphandle, kwelinye icala, zivela kwizizathu zobudlelwane boluntu.
7. Uncedo kuphela. - Kukho amaxesha ebomini apho ndingathi umphefumlo awusakwazi ukujongana nolwimi lwamadoda. Konke ukudinwa kwakhe, akukho nto imnika uxolo; Ufuna ukuthandaza nje. Ukukhululeka kwakhe kulele kuphela. Ukuba ujika kwizidalwa, uya kufumana ukuphumla okungakumbi.
8. Ukuthethelela. -Ndiyazi ukuba mingaphi imiphefumlo ekufuneka ithandazelwe. Ndivakalelwa kukuba ndiguqukela emthandazweni ukufumana isisa sikaThixo ngomphefumlo ngamnye. Yesu wam, ndiyakwamkela entliziyweni yam njengesithembiso senceba kweminye imiphefumlo. UYesu undazise ukuba uwuthanda kangakanani umthandazo onje. Ndonwaba kakhulu xa ndibona ukuba uThixo uthanda abo sibathandayo ngendlela eyodwa. Ngoku ndiyaqonda ukuba yintoni ethandazayo emthandazweni phambi koThixo.
9. Umthandazo wam ebusuku. - Andikwazi ukuthandaza. Andikwazanga kuhlala ndiguqe ngamadolo. Nangona kunjalo, ndahlala ecaweni iyure yonke, ndimanyana emoyeni kunye nemiphefumlo emnqula ngokugqibeleleyo uThixo. Ngokukhawuleza ndabona uYesu.Wandijonga ngobumnandi obungenakuchazwa, wathi: «Umthandazo wakho, nangona kunjalo, uyandikholisa kakhulu».
Ebusuku andisakwazi ukulala, kuba iintlungu azindivumeli. Ndindwendwela ngokwasemoyeni zonke iicawa kunye neetempele kwaye ndiyayithanda iSakramente Ebusisiweyo apho. Xa ndibuyela kwindlu yethu yoonongendi, ndithandazela abefundisi abathile, abashumayela ngenceba kaThixo kwaye basasaza unqulo lwakhe. Ndiyathandaza nokuba uBawo oyiNgcwele akhawulezise iziko lomthendeleko woMsindisi onenceba. Okokugqibela, ndicela inceba kaThixo kuboni. Ngoku lo ngumthandazo wam ebusuku.
