Intlambululo-miphefumlo kwingcinga kaSaint Teresa waseLiseux
INDLELA ENCINCI EKHOKELELA NGQO esibhakabhakeni
Ukuba umbuzo ububuzwa: "Ngaba kuyimfuneko ukuhamba ngePurigatori ngaphambi kokuya eZulwini?", Ndicinga ukuba uninzi lwamaKristu luya kuphendula ngokuvumayo. Imfundiso, kwelinye icala, eyafundiswa nguSaint Teresa waseLisieux, uGqirha weCawa, emanyathelweni kaSaint Teresa waseAvila noSaint Catherine waseSiena, inokuchazwa ngolu hlobo lulandelayo:
“UThixo, oyena Bawo unothando, ufuna ukuba siwushiye lo mhlaba ngokushiywa ngunyana wolahleko, owathi, eguqukile, ethembela, avale amehlo akhe ekukhanyeni kweli hlabathi ukuze aphinde awavule ngokukhawuleza eZulwini, ngovuyo lombono osikelelekileyo. ngaphandle kokuhlanjululwa kwi-Purgatory akukho nanye".
Ngokwendalo oku kufuna inguquko, ukuzithoba nokulahlwa kwiNceba eNgcwele.
UNgcwele uthetha nathi "ngenani elikhulu lemiphefumlo emincinci" kunye "nomkhosi wamaxhoba amancinci" afuna ukutsalela kwindlela ekhanyayo "yobuntwana bokomoya". Enyanisweni, wabhala: “Inokwenzeka njani into yokuba intembelo yam ibekelwe umda? “.
Echo, engazi, ngoko wayekufundisile uSt. Thomas Aquinas: “Akunakubakho ukusuka
inxalenye yethu ukuphuphuma kwethemba ngokwembono kaThixo, obubele bakhe bungenasiphelo.
Omnye wabaqalayo bakhe, uDade Maria della Trinità, wavakalisa kwiinkqubo ezingcwele ukuba ngenye imini ingcwele yamcela ukuba angayishiyi “indlela yakhe encinane” yokuthembela nothando emva kokufa kwakhe, yaye waphendula ngolu hlobo:
"Hayi, kunjalo kwaye ndikukholelwa ngokuqinileyo ukuba nokuba uPapa undixelele ukuba awulungile, andinakukwazi ukuyikholelwa."
Ngoko ke ongcwele ngewayephendule wathi: “Owu! okokuqala kufuneka sikholelwe kuPopu; kodwa musa ukoyika ukuba uya kuza amxelele ukuba atshintshe iindlela zakhe, andiyi kumshiya ixesha lakhe; kuba, ukuba, ndakufika emazulwini, ndiyazi ukuba ndimlahlile, ndofumana imvume kuThixo ukuba ndize ngokukhawuleza. mlumkise. Kude kube apho, kholwa ukuba indlela yam iqinisekile kwaye uyilandele ngokuthembeka "
OoPopu bokugqibela, ukusuka eSt. Pius X ukuya phambili, abazange batsho nje ukuba iSt Teresa yayingachananga, kodwa babekuvuyela ukubethelela imfundiso yehlabathi lonke kunye nesimemo sale "ndlela incinci" ukuya kwinqanaba lokuba iSt. Teresa waseLisieux wabhengezwa "nguGqirha weCawa"
Phantsi kweemfundiso zakhe ziinyaniso ezintathu ezisisiseko zezakwalizwi:
• Yonke into eyenziwayo ivela kuThixo njengesipho sesisa.
• UThixo usasaza izipho zakhe ngokulinganayo.
• Ngothando oluhlala lufana, ekubeni uthando lwakhe alunasiphelo.
SONKE SIBIZWE EBUNGCWELENI
Kuthi, ukuthanda uThixo kuthetha ukuzivumela ukuba sithandwe nguThixo.” Enyanisweni, uYohane uthi: “Sinothando ngokuba yena wasithanda kuqala.” ( 1 Yoh.
Masingaze sizikhathaze ngobuthathaka bethu; ngokuchaseneyo, ubuthathaka bethu kufuneka kube sisihlandlo sovuyo kuthi kuba, siqondwa kakuhle, bumela kanye amandla ethu.
Endaweni yoko, kufuneka soyike ukuzibalela kuthi nenxalenye encinane yenyaniso nokulunga. Oko sikunikelwe njengesipho (bona 1Kor 4,7:XNUMX); uThixo ufuna ukuthobeka kwentliziyo. Iimfanelo zethu zizipho zakhe.
Ewe, uThixo uyapha, kodwa izipho zakhe ubabela ngendlela engalinganiyo. Ngamnye wethu unobizo lwakhe, kodwa asinalo ubizo olufanayo sonke.
Sihlala sisiva kusithiwa: “Andingongcwele…. Ingqibelelo ibekelwe abangcwele… Abangcwele bakwenza oku ngenxa yokuba babengcwele…”. Nantsi impendulo: elowo kuthi ubizelwe ebungcweleni, ubizelwe kwinqanaba elingaphezulu okanye elingaphantsi lothando nozuko, abanye ngakumbi, abanye kancinane, ngaloo ndlela benikela kubuhle boMzimba oyiMystical kaKristu; okubalulekileyo, kumntu ngamnye, kukuqonda ubungcwele bakhe, obuncinane okanye obukhulu.
INgcwele yethu ithi ngalo mba:
“Kangangexesha elide bendizibuza ukuba kutheni uThixo ekhetha, kutheni ingeyiyo yonke imiphefumlo efumana ubabalo ngomlinganiselo olinganayo; Ndamangala ukuba kutheni ebenzela inceba engaqhelekanga abaNgcwele abathe bamkhubekisa, abafana noPawulos oNgcwele, uAugustine oNgcwele, kwaye kutheni, ndingathi, uphantse wabanyanzela ukuba bamkele isipho sakhe; emva koko, xa ndandifunda ubomi babaNgcwele iNkosi Yethu eyabanyamekelayo ukusuka ekubelekeni ukuya engcwabeni, ishiya kungekho namnye umqobo endleleni yabo eyayibathintele ukuba bavukele kuye, kwaye banike imiphefumlo yabo ububele obunjalo bokuyenza phantse. kungenakwenzeka ukuba bangcolise ubungangamsha obungasifanelanga bezambatho zabo zokubhaptiza, ndazibuza:
Kutheni abantu abangamahlwempu, ngokomzekelo, befa abaninzi nangaphambi kokuba balive igama likaThixo?
UYesu wandifundisa ngale mfihlelo. Wabeka incwadi yendalo phambi kwamehlo am, kwaye ndaqonda ukuba zonke iintyatyambo zendalo zintle, iirozi ezintle kunye neenyibiba ezimhlophe kakhulu azilibi ivumba le-violet, okanye ukulula kwedaisy ... iintyatyambo zazifuna ukuba yi roses, indalo yayiza kulahlekelwa yingubo yayo yasentwasahlobo, amasimi ayengayi kuphinda acwebezeliswe nge-inflorescences. Kunjalo nakwihlabathi lemiphefumlo, elingumyezo kaYesu.”
Ukungalingani okuhambelanayo yinxalenye yemvisiswano: "Imfezeko ibandakanya ukwenza ukuthanda kweNkosi, ekubeni njengoko inqwenela".
Oku kuhambelana nesahluko se-V soMgaqo-siseko we-Dogmatic weVatican II kwiCawa, "i-Lumen Gentium", enesihloko esithi "ubizo olupheleleyo lobungcwele eCaweni".
Ngoko ke uThixo ubabela ngokulinganayo izipho zakhe, kodwa ngothando oluhlala lulingana naye, ngothando olungaguqukiyo nolulula kubukhulu benzaliseko yalo engenasiphelo.
UTeresa, naye: “Ndaqonda enye into: uthando lweNkosi yethu lutyhilwa ngokunjalo nangowona mphefumlo ulula ongaxhathisi ubabalo konke konke njengowona mphefumlo uphakamileyo”. Kwaye uyaqhubeka: zombini emphefumlweni "oGqirha abangcwele, abakhanyisela iCawa" kunye nasemphefumlweni "womntwana othetha kuphela ngeengqungquthela ezibuthathaka, ezibuthathaka" okanye ezikhohlakeleyo "othe ebugxwayibeni bakhe buphelele kuphela umthetho wendalo ukulungisa". Ewe, kwakhona, ukuba le miphefumlo yenza ukuthanda kukaThixo.
Uhlobo lwesipho luxabiseke ngaphezu koko kunikelwayo; kwaye uThixo angakuthanda kuphela ngothando olungenasiphelo. Ngale ngqiqo, uThixo uthanda ngamnye wethu njengoko ethanda uMariya Ongcwele. Uthando lwakhe lunokuba kuphela, masiphinde, olungenasiphelo. Enjani yona intuthuzelo!
IZOHLWAYO ZENTLANDULO AZINOMSEBENZI
USint Teresa akathandabuzi ukungqina ukuba iimbandezelo zePurgatory "ziimbandezelo ezingenamsebenzi". Uthetha ukuthini?
Ebhekisa kuMthetho wakhe woMnikelo womhla we-9 kaJuni, ngo-1895, iNgcwele ibhala:
"Mama othandekayo, owandivumela ukuba ndizinikele ngolo hlobo eNkosini elungileyo. Uyazi ukuba yintoni na imilambo, okanye yintoni na iilwandle ezintle, ezikhukulise umphefumlo wam ...
Ah! ukusukela ngaloo mini yolonwabo kubonakala kum ukuba uthando luyagquba kwaye lundigubungele; kubonakala kum ukuba, ngalo lonke ixesha, olu thando lunenceba luyandihlaziya, nangona umphefumlo wam ungashiyi umkhondo wesono, ngoko andinako ukwesaba i-Purgatory ...
Ndiyazi ukuba ngokwam andifanelanga ukungena kuloo ndawo yokucamagushela, kuba yimiphefumlo engcwele kuphela enokufumana ukufikelela kuyo, kodwa ndiyazi nokuba umlilo wothando ungcwele ngakumbi kunowasePurigatori, ndiyazi ukuba uYesu akakwenzi oko. Unako ukusinqwenelela ukubandezeleka okungancedi nganto, nokuba ebengayi kuphefumlela kum iminqweno endiyivayo, ukuba ebengafuni ukuyizalisa…”.
Kuyacaca ukuba iimbandezelo zePurgatory aziyi kuba luncedo kuSaint Teresa, kuba uhlanjululwe ngokupheleleyo luthando lwenceba, kodwa ibinzana elithi "ukubandezeleka okungenamsebenzi" linentsingiselo enzulu yezakwalizwi.
Ngokwemfundiso yeCawa, enyanisweni, imiphefumlo kwiNtlambululo-miphefumlo, engasekho ngexesha, ayinakufanela okanye ikhule eluthandweni. Iintlungu zeNtlambululo-miphefumlo azinamsebenzi ukukhula elubabalweni, eluthandweni lukaKristu, nto leyo ekuphela kwento ebaluleke kakhulu ekwenzeni ukukhanya kwethu kozuko kube nzulu ngakumbi. Ngokunyamezela iintlungu ezivumela uThixo, imiphefumlo kwiNtlambululo-miphefumlo ihlawulela izono zabo kwaye bazilungiselele, nangona ukufudumala kwabo kwangaphambili, ukuba banandiphe uThixo ngobuso ngobuso obungahambelani nokungcola okuncinci. Nangona kunjalo uthando lwabo alusenasichengeni sokwanda.
Siphambi kweemfihlelo ezinkulu ezidlulela ngaphaya kokuqonda kwethu, ekufuneka siguqe phambi kwazo: iimfihlelo zobulungisa bukaThixo nenceba, yenkululeko yethu enokumelana nobabalo kunye nokwala kwethu ukuba netyala ekugqibeleni ukwamkela ukubandezeleka apha phantsi ngothando, ngokumanyana noMnqamlezo kaYesu uMhlawuleli.
INTLAWULO NOBUNGCWELE
Nangona kunjalo, kuyafuneka ukuba uqaphele ukuba ukungadluli kwiPurigatori akuhambisani nobungcwele obubalaseleyo. Kungenzeka ukuba umphefumlo, obizelwe ebungcweleni obuphezulu, kufuneka udlule kwiPurigatory ukuba, ufikelele kumzuzu wokufa, awuhlanjululwanga ngokwaneleyo; ngoxa omnye, obizelwe ebungcweleni obungabalulekanga kangako, uya kukwazi ukufika ekupheleni kobomi obusulungekileyo nobusulungekiswe ngokupheleleyo.
Ke ngoko, ukucela ukuba ubabalo lungadluli kwiNtlambululo-miphefumlo akuthethi ukuzikhukhumalisa, asikuko ukucela inqanaba lobungcwele kuThixo ngaphezu kwaloo nto, ngobulumko bakhe, asimisele yona, kodwa kukucela nje ukuba angamvumeli. sibeke imiqobo kwindlela yokuzaliseka ngokugqibeleleyo kokuthanda kwakhe phezu kwethu, phezu kwabo nje ubuthathaka bethu nezono zethu; kwaye simbongoza ukuba sikhuseleke kwezo mbandezelo "ezingenamsebenzi" zisenze sikhule eluthandweni, kwaye sizuze iqondo eliphezulu lolonwabo kwimpahla kaThixo.
Kwi-“Credo” yaBantu bakaThixo eyavakaliswa buBungcwele Bakhe uPaul VI ekupheleni koNyaka woKholo, ngoJuni 30, 1968, sifunda oku: “Sikholelwa kubomi obungunaphakade. Sikholelwa ukuba imiphefumlo yabo bonke abo bafa ngobabalo lukaKristu, nokuba basafuna ukuhlanjululwa kwiNtlambululo-miphefumlo, okanye abo basuka bashiya imizimba yabo yamkelwa nguYesu eZulwini, njengoko wenzayo kwiSela Elilungileyo, benza Abantu bakaThixo kubomi basemva kokufa, abaya koyiswa ngokuqinisekileyo ngomhla woVuko, xa le miphefumlo iya kuphinda idityaniswe nemizimba yayo”. (Indawo yaseRoma)
THEMBA NGOTHANDO LWEnceba
Ndikubona kuluncedo kwaye kufanelekile ukukhuphela iindinyana ezithile zeNgcwele eziphathelele ukuhlanjululwa komphefumlo ngexesha lobomi basemhlabeni.
“Akathembanga ngokwaneleyo,” utsho uSaint Teresa kudade owoyikayo (uDade Filomena), “uyoyika kakhulu iNkosi elungileyo”. “Musani ukoyika iNtlambululo-miphefumlo ngenxa yentlungu eniyivayo apho, kodwa ninganqweneli ukuya apho ukuze nikholise uThixo, othe mathidala ukunyanzelisa le ntlawulelo. Ekubeni efuna ukumkholisa kuyo yonke into, ukuba unokholo olungagungqiyo lokuba iNkosi iyamcoca ngalo lonke ixesha eLuthandweni lwayo kwaye ayishiyi mkhondo wesono kuye, uqinisekile ukuba akayi kuhlanjululwa.
Ndiyaqonda ukuba asiyiyo yonke imiphefumlo enokubonakala ngokufanayo, kufuneka kubekho amaqela ahlukeneyo okuhlonipha ingqibelelo nganye yeNkosi ngendlela ethile. Undinike inceba yakhe engapheliyo, endithi ngayo ndicamngce ndize ndinqule ezinye iimfezeko zobuthixo. Ke zonke zibonakala kum zikhazimla luthando, okusesikweni ngokwako (kwaye mhlawumbi nangaphezu kwayo nayiphi na enye) kubonakala kum kumbethe uthando. Hayi indlela ekuvuyisa ngayo ukucinga ukuba iNkosi elungileyo ilungile, oko kukuthi, ithathela ingqalelo ubuthathaka bethu, ukuba ibazi kakuhle ubuthathaka bendalo yethu. Ngoko ke kufuneka woyike? Ah, uThixo onobulungisa obungenasiphelo othe wazinikela ekuxoleleni iziphoso zonyana wolahleko ngokulunga okungaka, akafanelanga na ukuba abe lilungisa nakum ndihlala ndinaye? ( Luka 15,31:XNUMX )”.
UKUKHUTHAZA IMIPHEFUMLO...
UDade Marja della Trinità owayesaqala ukuvela eNgcwele, owafa ngowe-1944, wabuza uMfundisi ngenye imini:
"Ukuba ndenze ubugwenxa obuncinci, ngaba ndingaya ngqo eZulwini?" "Ewe, kodwa ayisosizathu sokuba azame ukwenza isidima", uTeresa waphendula wathi: "INkosi elungileyo ilungile kangangokuba ingafumana indlela yokumgcina ukuba angahambi ngePuratory, kodwa nguye oya kulahlekelwa yiyo. uthando! ”…
Ngesinye isihlandlo, waxelela uDade uMaria ngokwakhe ukuba kwakuyimfuneko, ngemithandazo namadini kabani, ukufumana uthando olukhulu ngolo hlobo lukaThixo ngemiphefumlo enokubenza baye eZulwini ngaphandle kokudlula kwiNtlambululo-miphefumlo.
Omnye umfundi osandul’ ukubalisa uyabalisa: “Ndandiyoyika ngokugqithiseleyo imigwebo kaThixo; kwaye, phezu kwayo yonke loo nto eyayinokundixelela ngayo, kwakungekho nto kum yokuyichitha. Ngenye imini ndamchasa ndathi: ‘Sisoloko sixelelwa ukuba uThixo ubona amabala kwanakwiingelosi zakhe; ufuna ndingangcangcazeli njani?" Waphendula wathi: “Inye kuphela indlela yokunyanzela iNkosi ukuba ingasigwebi konke konke; yaye oku kuthetha ukuzinikela kuye ngezandla ezingento”
Njani ukwenza?
“Ilula kakhulu; musani ukugcina nto, yaye oko okuthengayo ukunikezela esandleni ngesandla. Kuba mna, ukuba ndithe ndadla ubomi, koda kube emashumini asibhozo ubudala, ndohlala ndilihlwempu; Andazi ukuba ndingenza njani na uqoqosho; yonke into endinayo ndiyisebenzisela ukukhulula imiphefumlo kwaoko”
"Ukuba ndilinde umzuzu wokufa ukuba ndibonise iingqekembe zam ezincinci kwaye ndibalinganise ngexabiso labo elichanekileyo, iNkosi elungileyo yayingayi kusilela ukufumanisa malunga ne-alloy, endiya kufuneka ndiyikhuphe kwi-Purgatory. Akutshiwo na ukuba abathile abangcwele ababalaseleyo, abathi bafika kwisihlalo sokugweba sikaThixo benezandla ezizele luxabiso, kwafuneka baye kuloo ndawo yokucamagushela, ngenxa yokuba konke okusesikweni kudyobhekile emehlweni eNkosi?
Kodwa, lo mfundisi-ntsapho waphinda wathi, “Ukuba uThixo akazigwebi izenzo zethu ezilungileyo, uya kuzigweba ezimbi zethu; ngoko?"
"Uthini yena?" Impendulo ivela ku- Saint Theresa:
“INkosi yethu isesikweni; ukuba akazigwebi izenzo zethu ezilungileyo, akayi kuzigweba nezo zethu ezimbi. Kumaxhoba othando, kubonakala kum ukuba akukho sigwebo siya kwenzeka, kodwa kunokuba iNkosi elungileyo iya kukhawulezisa ukuvuza uthando lwayo ngolonwabo olungunaphakade aya kulubona luvutha ezintliziyweni zabo. I-novice, kwakhona: "Ukunandipha eli lungelo, ucinga ukuba kwanele ukwenza isenzo somnikelo osiqulunqileyo?".
USt. Teresa waqukumbela ngelithi: “Hayi! Amazwi akonelanga… Ukuze sibe ngamaxhoba othando ngokwenene, kuyimfuneko ukuba sizilahle ngokupheleleyo, kuba sityiwa luthando kuphela ngokomlinganiselo esizincama ngayo kulo”.
“INKULUNGU AYIKHO YEYAYE…”
INgcwele yaphinda yathi: “Jonga apho ithemba lakho kufuneka liye khona. Kufuneka amenze akholelwe ukuba Purgatory ayikho kuye, kodwa kuphela imiphefumlo abaye bakhanyela Uthando lwenceba, abaye bathandabuza amandla ayo kwanabo benza umzamo wokusabela olu thando, uYesu 'yimfama' kwaye 'hayi ibala. ', okanye kunoko ayibala, okoko nje kusemlilweni wothando 'ogubungela zonke iziphoso' kwaye ngaphezu kwakho konke kwiziqhamo zeDini lakhe elingunaphakade. Ewe, phezu kwako nje ukunganyaniseki kwakhe okuncinane, unokuba nethemba lokuya ngqo eZulwini, ekubeni uThixo ekunqwenela nangaphezu kwakhe yaye ngokuqinisekileyo uya kumnika oko wayekuthembile ngenceba yakhe. Uya kuvuza ukuzithemba nokulahlwa; ubulungisa bakhe, obabaziyo ukuba bucekeceke kangakanani na, buziphanzise ngokobuthixo ukuze buphumelele.
Lumka nje, uthembele kolu khuseleko, ukuze angaphulukani luthando!”
Obu bungqina bodade boNgcwele bufanele ukukhankanywa. UCelina ubhala athi "Iingcebiso kunye neenkumbulo":
“Musa ukuya kwiNtlambululo-miphefumlo. Udade wethu omncinane endimthandayo wayebethelela kum ngalo lonke ixesha lo mnqweno ngokuthobeka awayephila kuwo. Yayingumoya ophefumla okomoya.
Ndandisacaphukile xa, ngobusuku beKrisimesi ngowe-1894, ndafumana kwisihlangu sam umbongo endawuqanjwa nguTeresa egameni likaMadonna. Ndikufundele:
UYesu uya kukwenza isithsaba,
Ukuba ujonge uthando lwakhe kuphela,
Ukuba intliziyo yakho izinikele kuye,
ebukumkanini bakhe wonizukisa;
Emva kobumnyama bobomi,
Uya kububona ubuso bakhe obumnandi;
Phezulu apho umphefumlo wakho uxhwilwe
Iya kubhabha ngaphandle kokulibazisa!
Kwisenzo sakhe sokunikela kuThando lwenceba loThixo olungileyo, ethetha ngothando lwakhe, uqukumbela ngolu hlobo: ‘... Kwanga oku kufa ukholo, emva kokuba undilungiselele ukuba ndivele phambi kwakho, ekugqibeleni kundenze ndife, Umphefumlo ubhabha ngaphandle kokulibazisa ekwamkeleni kwanaphakade Uthando Lwakho Lwenceba!…
Ngoko ke, wayesoloko ephantsi kwengcinga yale ngcamango ekuqondeni kwayo wayengenamathandabuzo konke konke, ngokwamazwi kaBawo wethu ongcwele uYohane womnqamlezo, awawenza awakhe: “Okhona uThixo efuna ukupha, kokukhona efuna ukupha usenza sinqwenele'
Wasekela ithemba lakhe malunga nePurgatory ekulahlweni nasekuthandeni, ngaphandle kokulibala ukuthobeka kwakhe okuthandekayo, uphawu oluhle lobuntwana. Umntwana uyabathanda abazali bakhe yaye akazenzisi ngaphandle kokuzincama ngokupheleleyo kubo, kuba uziva ebuthathaka yaye engenakuzinceda.
Wathi: ‘Mhlawumbi ubawo uyamthethisa umntwana wakhe xa ezityhola, okanye amohlwaye? Akunjalo, kodwa uyibambe entliziyweni yakhe. Ukubethelela le ngongoma, wandikhumbuza ngebali esasilifunde ebuntwaneni bethu:
'Inkosi ekwitheko lokuzingela yayisukela umvundla omhlophe, izinja zayo ezaziza kuwufumana, xa isilwanyana, siziva silahlekile, sajika ngokukhawuleza saza satsibela ezingalweni zomzingeli. Echukunyiswe kukuthenjwa okunjalo, akazange afune ukwahlulwa kumvundla omhlophe, yaye akazange avumele nabani na ukuba awuchukumise, egcina ilungelo lokuwondla. Ke iNkosi elungileyo iya kwenza ngathi, 'ukuba, sisukelwa bubulungisa obumelwa zizinja, sifuna ikhusi kwangalo zoMgwebi wethu…'.
Nangona apha wayecinga ngemiphefumlo emincinane elandela indlela yobuntwana bokomoya, akazange ahluthe nkqu naboni abakhulu kweli themba lobukhalipha.
Amaxesha amaninzi uDade Teresa wabonisa kum ukuba ubulungisa boThixo olungileyo yaneliswa kuncinci kakhulu xa uthando luyinjongo yalo, kwaye ke Uthoba isohlwayo sexeshana ngenxa yesono ngokugqithisileyo, ekubeni akukho nto ngaphandle kobumnandi.
Wandityand’ igila wathi: ‘Ndiye ndanamava okuba, emva kokukrexeza, kwanangento encinane, umphefumlo umele ubandezeleke kangangethuba elithile. Emva koko ndithi kum: "Ntombi yam encinci, kukukhululwa kokuswela kwakho", kwaye ndinyamezele ngomonde ukuba ityala elincinci lihlawulwe.
Kodwa ngethemba lakhe, ulwaneliseko olufunwa ngobulungisa kwabo bathobekileyo kwaye bazinikele kwiNtliziyo yam ngothando lwalulinganiselwe koku.'
Akazange abone umnyango wePurigatory uvula kubo, ekholelwa ukuba uBawo osezulwini, esabela kwithemba labo ngobabalo lokukhanya ngexesha lokufa, kubangela ukuba kuvele imvakalelo yokuguquka okugqibeleleyo kule miphefumlo, ekuboneni usizi lwabo, ukuba acime onke amatyala.”
Kudade wabo, uDade Mary weNtliziyo eNgcwele, owambuza: "Xa sizinikela kuThando lwenceba, ngaba singathemba ukuya ngqo eZulwini?". Waphendula: "Ewe, kodwa kufuneka siqhelise uthando lobuzalwana kunye".
UTHANDO OLUGQIBELELEYO
Ngalo lonke ixesha, kodwa ngaphezu kwako konke kwiminyaka yokugqibela yobomi bakhe basemhlabeni, xa wayesondela ekufeni, uSaint Teresa waseLisieux wafundisa ukuba akukho mntu ufanele aye kwi-Purgatory, kungekhona kakhulu ngenxa yezizathu zomdla wobuqu (okuthi, ngokwawo, akusoleki. ) kodwa nizimisele ekuthandeni uThixo nomphefumlo.
Ngenxa yoku wakwazi ukungqina esithi: “Andazi nokuba ndiya kweNtlambululo-miphefumlo, andinaxhala kwaphela ngayo; kodwa ukuba ndithe ndemka, andisayi kuzisola ngokuba ndisebenzele ukusindisa imiphefumlo. Hayi indlela endandivuya ngayo ukwazi ukuba uTeresa oNgcwele waseAvila wayecinga njalo! “.
Waphinda wayichaza kwakhona kwinyanga elandelayo: “Ngendingazange ndichole iphini ukuze ndiphephe iNtlambululo-miphefumlo.
Yonke into endiyenzayo ndiyenzela ukukholisa iNkosi elungileyo, ukuyisindisa imiphefumlo”.
Unongendi owatyelela iNgcwele kwisigulo sakhe sokugqibela wabhala kwileta eya kwintsapho yakhe: “Xa usiya kumbona, utshintshe kakhulu, ubhitye kakhulu; kodwa uhlala egcina indlela efanayo ezolile kunye neyokudlala. Ngovuyo ubona ukufa kusondela kuye yaye akoyiki nakancinane. Oku kuya kukwenza ube buhlungu kakhulu, Tata wam othandekayo, kwaye kuyaqondakala; siphulukana nobona butyebi bukhulu kakhulu, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo asimele sibe nosizi ngaye; emthanda uThixo njengoko emthanda, uya kwamkelwa phaya phezulu! Iya kuya ngqo ezulwini. Xa sathetha naye ngeNtlambululo-miphefumlo yethu, wathi kuthi: ‘Owu, hayi indlela enindenza uxolo ngayo! Uyenza into enkulu kuThixo ngokukholelwa ukuba kufuneka uye kwi-Purgatory. Xa umntu ethanda, ayinakubakho intlambululo-miphefumlo.'
Umntu akanako ukucamngca ngokwaneleyo ngeemfihlo zikaSaint Thérèse waseLisieux onako kwaye kufuneka akhuthaze aboni abakhulu ukuba bangaze bathandabuze amandla okuhlambulula oThando lwenceba: "Ubani unokukholelwa ukuba, kanye ngenxa yokuba ndingonanga, ndithembele kakhulu iNkosi. Yithi ke Mama ukuba bendikhe ndenze zonke izenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho, bendiya kuhlala ndinentembelo efanayo, bendiya kuvakalelwa kukuba obu bubi bungafana nethontsi lamanzi eliphoswe kwi-brazier evuthayo. Uya kuthi ke abalise ibali lomoni oguqukileyo owafa ngenxa yothando,’ imiphefumlo iya kuqonda ngoko nangoko, kuba ngumzekelo osebenza kakuhle wento endifuna ukuyithetha, kodwa ezi zinto azinakuchazwa”.
Nali isiqendu ebekufuneka umama uAgnes asixelele:
“Kubaliswa kubomi babaSeki baseNtlango ukuba omnye wabo waguqula umoni wasesidlangalaleni, oziphithiphithi zakhe zahlazisa ummandla wonke. Lo moni, echukunyiswe lubabalo, walandela oNgcwele ukuya entlango ukuba enze inguquko eqatha, xa, ngobusuku bokuqala bohambo, nangaphambi kokuba afike kwindawo yokusabela kwakhe, amaqhina akhe okufa aqhawuka yimpembelelo yenguquko yakhe. ezele luthando, kwaye wabona yedwa, kwangelo xesha, umphefumlo wakhe uthwalwe ziiNgelosi esifubeni sikaThixo.
Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa emva koko wabuyela kwakuloo ngcinga inye: “… Isono esifayo besingayi kuyisusa intembeko yam… Ngaphezu kwako konke, ungalibali ukubalisa ibali lomoni! Oku kuya kubonisa ukuba andiphosisi.
SAINT TERESA KA-LISEUX KUNYE NESAKRAMENTI
Siyazi uthando oluvuthayo lukaTeresa nge-Ekaristi. UDade Genoveffa wabhala:
“UMthendeleko oNgcwele kunye netafile yoMthendeleko yayiluyolo lwakhe. Akazange enze nantoni na ebalulekileyo ngaphandle kokucela ukuba kunyuswe iDini eliNgcwele kuloo njongo. Xa umakazi wethu wayemnika imali yemibhiyozo nemibhiyozo yesikhumbuzo sakhe eKarmele, wayesoloko ecela imvume yokubhiyozela iMisa yaye maxa wambi wayesithi kum ngelizwi eliphantsi: ‘Yeyonyana wam uPranzini (indoda egwetyelwe ukufa, egama layo liphantsi. uguqulo kwi-extremis ngo-Agasti ka-1887), kufuneka ndimncede ngoku!…'. Ngaphambi komsebenzi wakhe ondilisekileyo, walahla iphothifoliyo yakhe yobuntwana eyayinekhulu leefrancs, ukuze enze iMisa ukuze kuzuze uBawo wethu obekekileyo, owayegula kakhulu ngelo xesha. Wayekholelwa ukuba akukho nto yayixabiseke njengeGazi likaYesu ukutsalela ubabalo oluninzi kuye. Wayengathanda ukunxibelelana yonke imihla, kodwa izithethe ezazikho ngelo xesha azizange zimvumele, ibe le yayiyenye yezona ntlungu zakhe ziqatha eKarmele. Wacenga uJoseph oNgcwele ukuba afumane utshintsho kwelo siko, kwaye ummiselo kaLeo XII owanika inkululeko ethe kratya kule ngongoma wawubonakala uyimpendulo yakhe kwizibongozo zakhe ezinyanisekileyo. UTeresa waxela kwangaphambili ukuba emva kokufa kwakhe, 'isonka sethu semihla ngemihla' asiyi kuswela, nto leyo eyazaliseka ngokupheleleyo”.
Kwincwadi yakhe ethi The Act of Offering, wabhala oku: “Ndiziva ndinomnqweno omkhulu entliziyweni yam yaye ndikucela ngentembelo enkulu ukuba uze uwuthabathe umphefumlo wam. Ah! Andinako ukufumana uMthendeleko oNgcwele rhoqo njengoko ndingathanda, kodwa Nkosi, ingaba wena awungoSomandla? Hlalani kum njengakwintente yokuhlangana, ungaze umshiye umzi wakho omncinane…”
Ebudeni bokugula kwakhe kokugqibela, wathi kudade wabo uMama uAgnes kaYesu: “Ndiyakubulela ngokundicela ukuba ndinikwe intwana yoMkhosi Ongcwele. Kwakunzima nokuginya nalonto. Kodwa hayi indlela endavuya ngayo ngokuba noThixo entliziyweni yam! Ndalila njengosuku lwam lokuqala lomthendeleko"
Kwaye kwakhona, ngo-Agasti 12: “Hayi indlela olukhulu ngayo ubabalo olutsha endilufumeneyo ngale ntsasa, xa umfundisi waqalisa iConfiteor ngaphambi kokuba andinike uMthendeleko oNgcwele!
Ndabona apho uYesu olungileyo elungele ukuzinikela kum, ndaza ndasiva eso sivumo sifuneka kakhulu:
'Ndivuma kuThixo uSomandla, kwiNtombi Enyulu uMariya, kubo bonke abangcwele, ukuba ndone kakhulu. Ewe, ndazixelela ukuba balungile ukuba bacele isipho kum ngoku kuThixo, kubo bonke abangcwele bakhe. Hayi indlela ekuyimfuneko ngayo oku kuthotywa! Ndaziva, njengomqokeleli werhafu, ndingumoni omkhulu. UThixo wabonakala enenceba kum! Kwakuchukumisa kakhulu ukuthetha nayo yonke inkundla yasezulwini ndize ndifumane uxolelo lukaThixo… ndandilapho ukuze ndikhale, kwaye xa uMbuzo ongcwele waphumla emilebeni yam, ndaziva ndichukumiseke kakhulu…”.
Kwakhona wayevakalise umnqweno omkhulu wokufumana ukuthanjiswa kwabagulayo.
Nge-8 kaJulayi wathi: “Ndifuna ngokwenene ukufumana i-Extreme Unction. Okona kubi, ukuba bayandihlekisa emva koko. Lo dade uthi apha: “Oku kwakunokwenzeka ukuba wayenokubuyela empilweni, njengoko wayesazi ukuba abanye oonongendi babengamgqali njengosengozini yokufa.
Bamnika ioli engcwele ngoJulayi 30; wandula ke wabuza uMama uAgnes oku: “Ngaba ungathanda ukundilungiselela ukuba ndifumane i-Extreme Unction? Thandazani, nithandaze kakhulu eNkosini elungileyo, ukuze nam ndinamkele kangangoko ndinako. UBawo wethu oPhakamileyo wathi kum: ‘Uya kuba njengosana olusandul’ ukubhaptizwa’. Emva koko wathetha nam ngothando kuphela. Hayi indlela ebendichukumiseke ngayo.” “Emva kokuNyulwa Okugqithisileyo”, uMama uAgnese usaphawula. "Wandibonisa izandla zakhe ngentlonipho."
Kodwa akazange abulibale ubungangamsha bokholo, ukuthembela nothando; ukongama komoya
ngaphandle kwayo ileta ifile. Uya kuthi:
"Inqununu ye-plenary indulgence yile nto wonke umntu anokuyifumana ngaphandle kweemeko eziqhelekileyo:
ububele bothando obugubungela inkitha yezono
“Ukuba undifumene kusasa ndifile, ungakhathazeki: oko bekuya kuthetha ukuba uTata, iNkosi elungileyo, ebeza kundilanda, kuphelele apho. Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, lubabalo olukhulu ukufumana iisakramente, kodwa xa iNkosi elungileyo ingakuvumeli, oko kulubabalo.
Ewe, uThixo wenza “zonke izinto zisebenziselana okulungileyo kwabo babathandayo” ( Roma 828 ).
Kwaye xa uTeresa oNgcwele woMntwana uYesu wabhala ngendlela ephazamisayo: "Nantsi into uYesu ayifunayo kuthi, akayidingi imisebenzi yethu konke konke, kodwa uthando lwethu kuphela", akazilibali nokuba ziimfuno zomsebenzi wakhe. ubume bakho, okanye izibophelelo zokuzinikezela kobuzalwana, kodwa ufuna ukubethelela ukuba uthando lwesisa, isidima sakwalizwi, zombini ziyingcambu yokufaneleka kunye nencopho yemfezeko yethu.
