Unokuthandaza kwaye ucamngce njani ngexesha laxa uxakeke kakhulu?
Camngca emini
(nguJean-Marie Lustiger)
Nali icebiso likabhishophu omkhulu waseParis: “Zinyanzeleni ukuba niqhawule isantya sezixeko zethu ezinkulu. Kwenze kwizithuthi zikawonke-wonke nangexesha lekhefu lomsebenzi. Ubhalo olungapapashwanga yikhadinali yaseFransi eyasweleka kunyaka ophelileyo.
Ukuthandaza njani emini? Isithethe seCawa sicebisa ukuba sithandaze kasixhenxe ngemini. Ngoba? Isizathu sokuqala sikukuba abantu bakwaSirayeli babenikela ixesha labo kuThixo kwimithandazo esixhenxe yemihla ngemihla, ngamaxesha amisiweyo, etempileni okanye ubuncinane bejamelene nayo: “Ndikudumisa kasixhenxe ngemini” umdumisi uyasikhumbuza ( INdumiso 118,164, 3,1 ). Isizathu sesibini sesokuba uKrestu ngokwakhe wathandaza ngolu hlobo, ethembekile elukholweni lwabantu bakaThixo.Isizathu sesithathu kukuba abafundi bakaYesu bathandaza ngolu hlobo: abapostile (jonga iZenzo 2,42:10,3: uPetros noYohane) namaKristu okuqala. waseYerusalem “wazingisa emthandazweni” (bona IZenzo 4, XNUMX; XNUMX, XNUMX-XNUMX: uKorneli embonweni wakhe); kulandele uluntu lwamaKristu kwaye, kamva, uluntu lweemonki. Kwaye ngokunjalo namadoda nabafazi benkolo, ababingeleli, babizelwa ukuba bacengceleze okanye bacule "iiyure" ze "ofisi" (elithetha "umsebenzi", "intlawulo", "ubuthunywa" bomthandazo) ngokuphindaphinda ezisixhenxe, ikhefu lokucula. iindumiso, ucamngce ngeZibhalo, uthethelela iimfuno zabantu kwaye uzukise uThixo.” Icawe imema wonke umKristu ukuba aphawule usuku lwawo ngomthandazo ophindaphindiweyo, owenziwe ngabom, onqwenelwa ngothando, ukholo nethemba.
Ngaphambi kokwazi ukuba kulungile na ukuthandaza kabini, kathathu, kane, kahlanu, kathandathu, kasixhenxe ngemini, icebiso elisebenzisekayo: nxulumanisa amaxesha omthandazo nezimbo zomzimba ezimiselweyo, neengongoma ezisinyanzelo zeendinyana eziphawula imihla yakho.
Umzekelo: kwabo basebenzayo kwaye baneeyure ezizinzileyo, kukho nomzuzu xa ushiya ikhaya lakho uye emsebenzini… ngeenyawo okanye ngemoto, ngaphantsi komhlaba okanye ngebhasi. Ngexesha elithile. Yaye oko kuthatha umlinganiselo othile wexesha, kokubini kuhambo lwangaphandle nakuhambo olubuyelayo. Ke kutheni unganxulumanisi amaxesha omthandazo namaxesha okuhamba?
Umzekelo wesibini: ungumama wosapho kwaye uhlala ekhaya, kodwa unabantwana ohamba nabo ukuya nokubuya esikolweni ngamaxesha athile osuku. Olunye uxanduva oluphawula ikhefu: izidlo, nokuba kungenxa yokunyanzeliswa kwe-majeure okanye umkhwa ombi utya nje isanti okanye isidlo sasemini simile. Kutheni ungajiki la makhefu abe ziindawo ekubhekiselwa kuzo kumthandazo okhawulezayo?
Ewe, hamba kwaye ujonge kumhla wakho ngala maxesha amaninzi okanye angaphantsi kokuphazamiseka kwimisebenzi, utshintsho kwisigqi sobomi bakho: ukuqala kunye nokuphela komsebenzi, izidlo, amaxesha okuhamba, njl.
Nxulumanisa nala maxesha isigqibo sokuthandaza, nokuba okomzuzwana nje, ixesha lokuqhwanyaza iliso kuThixo.Zinike unyanzeliso olungqongqo, nokuba kuyintoni na, ukuba ke ngoko unikele nangemizuzwana nje engamashumi amathathu okanye umzuzu ekunikezeni indlela entsha yokuziqhelanisa. imisebenzi yakho eyahlukahlukeneyo phambi koThixo.
Ngaloo ndlela umthandazo uya kutyhutyha le nto uya kuyinikwa ukuba uphile.
Xa usiya emsebenzini, mhlawumbi okwangoku ukhe uthethe ngabalingane oza kuphinda ubafumane, ngobunzima ojongene nabo e-ofisini apho usebenza ngababini okanye ngabathathu; ubuntu ngqubana ngakumbi xa ukusondela kusondele kakhulu kwaye mihla le. Cela uThixo kwangaphambili: «Nkosi, ndivumele ndiphile obu budlelwane bemihla ngemihla ngothando lwenene. Ndivumele ukuba ndifumane iimfuno zothando lobuzalwana ekukhanyeni kweNtshumayelo kaKristu eya kwenza umzamo ofunekayo ukuba unyamezeleke. "
Ukuba usebenza kudederhu lweevenkile ezinkulu, usenokucinga ngamakhulu obuso obudlulayo ngaphambi kokuba ungabi nalo ixesha lokubajonga. Cela oku kusengaphambili kuThixo: “Nkosi, ndithandazela bonke abo bantu baya kudlula phambi kwam nendiza kuzama ukubancumela.
Nokuba andinawo amandla xa bendithuka kwaye bandiphatha ngokungathi ndingumatshini wokubala".
Ngamafutshane, ngexesha lemini yakho, yenza uninzi lwala manqaku anyanzelekileyo, ngamaxesha apho unendlela encinci kwaye ushiye, ukuba uphaphile, indawo encinci yenkululeko yangaphakathi yokubamba umoya wakho kuThixo.
Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuthandaza kuloliwe ohamba ngaphantsi komhlaba okanye kwisithuthi sikawonke-wonke? Ndiyenzile. Ndisebenzise iindlela ezahlukeneyo ngokwamaxesha obomi bam okanye iimeko. Kukho ixesha apho ndaye ndaqhela ukufaka ii-ear plugs ukuze ndibe ndedwa kwaye ndikwazi ukuthi cwaka, ndandicatshukiswa yingxolo. Bendithandaza ndinjalo, ndingabacimi abantu abandijikelezileyo kuba bendisenabo ndibajongile kodwa ndingabajongi, ndingabajongi, ndingabinangqondo kwindlela endibajonga ngayo. Ukuzola ngokomzimba kwendlebe kwandivumela ukuba ndikhululeke ngakumbi ekwamkeleni. Noko ke, kwamanye amaxesha ndiye ndanamava achaseneyo noko. Ngamnye wethu wenza oko anokukwenza, kodwa asifanele sicinge ukuba akunakwenzeka ukuthandaza.
Nali elinye icebiso. Ndibheja ukuba endleleni yakho, ukusuka kwisikhululo esingaphantsi komhlaba okanye ukusuka kwisikhululo sebhasi ukuya ekhayeni lakho okanye kwindawo osebenza kuyo, ungadibana necawe okanye indawo yecawe ngaphakathi kumgama ongamakhulu amathathu okanye amahlanu eemitha (indlela encinci yokuphambukela ingakuvumela ukuba uhambe ngeenyawo. encinci'). Inokwenziwa eParis. Kwelo bandla lithile unokuthandaza ngoxolo okanye, ngokuchaseneyo, uhlale uphazamiseka; isenokulunga okanye ingalungeli ubuntununtunu bakho: ngomnye umcimbi lowo. Kodwa kukho icawa enoMthendeleko oNgcwele. Ke ngoko, hamba ngamakhulu ambalwa eemitha ngaphezulu; Kuyakuthatha imizuzu elishumi, kwaye umthambo omncinci awusayi kukwenzakalisa umzimba wakho… Ngena ecaweni kwaye uye kwiSigramente esiSikelelekileyo. Guqa uthandaze. Ukuba awukwazi ukwenza ngaphezulu, yenze imizuzwana elishumi. Ndiyambulela uThixo uBawo ngemfihlakalo yoMthendeleko ofakwe kuwo, ngobukho bukaKristu eCaweni yakhe. Hamba uye kunqula kunye noKristu, kuKristu, ngamandla oMoya. Bulelani kuThixo, vukani;
Yenza uphawu oluhle lomnqamlezo kwaye uhambe kwakhona.
