"Ukuthandaza kuYesu entliziyweni" nguViviana Rispoli (yedwa)
Ngamanye amaxesha sithandaza ngemilebe yethu kodwa iingqondo zethu ziphazamisekile. Ngamanye amaxesha sithandaza nangengqondo yethu kodwa iintliziyo zethu zikude. Umthandazo wenene, ukumamela ngokwenyani, endaweni yoko kwenziwa ezintliziyweni zethu ngalo lonke ingqalelo yethu.
IVangeli ka-St. Luke isixelela ukuba uMariya wayecamngca ngeLizwi likaThixo entliziyweni yakhe kwaye u Yesu usifundisa into esimele ukuyenza ukwenza umthandazo onempumelelo…. “Xa uthandaza, ngena egumbini lakho, uvale umnyango, uthandaze kuYihlo ngasese; aze uYihlo obona emfihlekweni akubuyisele ekuhleni.
Silahlekile, okanye mhlawumbi abanye bethu abakaze bayifumane, imfihlelo efihliweyo kuthi nehlala apho…. UYesu usixelela ukuba, “Ubukumkani bamazulu bungaphakathi kwenu.” Ngamanye amaxesha siyacinezelwa kwaye siphoxeke ngenxa yokuba, njengoko u-Saint Augustine efumene amava, sifuna oko kungaphakathi kuthi.
Ndiyakholelwa ukuba uninzi lwethu luswele imfundo yangaphakathi kuba sihlala singenamava anyanisekileyo kaThixo, sigcwele izifundo zakwalizwi, ithiyori, amagama kunye namagama amakhulu, kodwa asifundiswanga ukufuna ubukho bukaThixo buthule. Ngeentliziyo zethu, ukuvumela amaZwi kaYesu avakalise kuthi onguMoya noBomi, asifundiswanga ukuthetha "ngoMoya" kuThixo wethu ...
Nantsi into iimonki zamandulo zasentlango ezazisinike lo mbandela, iinkosi zokwenyani zomthandazo: ngumbuzo wokuhla ngengqondo ungene entliziyweni yethu kwaye kule ndawo ifihlakeleyo sithandaza eNkosini uThixo singazivumeli ukuba siphazanyiswe yiyo nayiphi na into. Nokuba singakwazi ukuhlala ixesha elingakanani kule meko yokuqwalaselwa okunzulu, into ebalulekileyo neNkosi kukuba lapho, kunye nathi sonke! Singazntywilisela kuye nanini na sifuna, nanini na xa sifuna ukufumana amandla, intuthuzelo kunye nobomi ... kodwa nanini na xa sifuna ukuthi "Ndiyakuthanda" okanye "enkosi" elula ... Ukuthandaza ngolu hlobo kuyinto entle kwaye kulula, kwaye ewe ungenza kuyo nayiphi na indawo
Sincede Nkosi sikufune sikuthandaze ezintliziyweni zethu yonke imihla, unguThixo ophilayo, uThixo wentuthuzelo yonke novuyo; sivumele umntu ngamnye kuthi abe namava kwaye athande ubukho bakho obungcwele kunye nokuphila ngaphakathi kwethu rhoqo… rhoqo.
