Isilumko esihle sinokutshintsha ubomi bakho
Ukuzila: kukho igama elinomdla. Kubonakala ngathi ivela kwigama lesiNgesi lakudala elithi lencten, elithetha "intwasahlobo okanye intwasahlobo". Kukho unxibelelwano ne-langitinaz yaseNtshona Jamani, okanye "ukwandiswa kwemini".
Nawuphi na umKatolika oxhalabe ngokunzulu ngokuguqula ubomi bakhe uyazi ukuba ngandlela thile uLent udlala- okanye kufuneka adlale- indima ebalulekileyo. Kusegazini lethu lamaKatolika. Iintsuku ziqala ukuba mide kwaye kukho olo thintelo lwasentwasahlobo uqaphela nalapho ndihlala khona eColorado egqunywe likhephu. Mhlawumbi yindlela iintaka eziqala ngayo ukucula, njengoko uChaucer wabhala:
Kwaye amantshontsho amantshontsho enza imododye,
Ngobo busuku walala nawe uvulekile
(ngaloo ndlela ijikeleza indalo ngenkalipho yayo),
UThanne unqwenela abantu ukuba bahambe uhambo lokuhamba
Ufuna ukwenza into: uhambo, uhambo, nantoni na ngaphandle kokuhlala apho ukhoyo; kude nokuhlala.
Asinguye wonke umntu onokukwazi ukuya kwiCamino ukuya eSantiago de Compostela okanye kuhambo oluya eChartres. Kodwa wonke umntu angathatha uhambo agoduke aye kwiparadesi yakhe-indawo ekuyiwa kuyo yiPasika.
Eyona nto inkulu ethintela olu hambo iya kuba yimpazamo yethu ebalaseleyo. P. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange OP usichaza esi siphene "njengotshaba lwethu lwasekhaya oluhlala ngaphakathi kwethu ... ngamanye amaxesha lunjengokuqhekeka eludongeni olubonakala luqinile kodwa kungenjalo: njengokuqhekeka, ngamanye amaxesha kungabonakali kodwa kunzulu, Indawo entle yesakhiwo, enokuthi inyikima enamandla ishukumise kwiziseko zayo. "
Ukwazi ukuba liyintoni na eli tyala kuya kuba yinto enkulu kunye nohambo, kuba iya kubonisa isidima sayo esichaseneyo. Ke, ukuba umsindo sesona siphoso sakho, kuya kufuneka ujonge ububele okanye ululamo. Kwaye nokuba ukukhula kancinci kubumnandi kuya kunceda zonke ezinye izidima zikhule kwaye ezinye izinto ezimbi ziya kuncipha. Musa ukuthembela kwinyani enye yeLente yanele; ezininzi zinokufuneka. Kodwa iLent elungileyo inokuba yindlela enamandla yokoyisa ubutyala obubalaseleyo, ngakumbi xa ilandelwa yiPasika evuyayo.
Sifumana njani ukuba yintoni eyona mpazamo yethu? Enye indlela kukubuza umyeni okanye inkosikazi yakho ukuba unayo; Uya kwazi ukuba yintoni xa ungazi, kwaye mhlawumbi baya kuthi basebenzisane nomnqweno wakho wokwazi ngentshiseko enkulu.
Kodwa ungothusi ukuba kunzima ukuyichonga. Oku kuqulethwe ngumzekeliso wokhozo lwemostade. Ngoku kukho indlela entle yokujonga lo mzekeliso, apho isenzo esincinci sinokuba yinto ekhethekileyo. U-André Frossard odumileyo ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo wakhubeka ecaweni ngexesha le-Aspergian, kwaye amanzi angcwele ayitshisa, kwaye yaguquka, yaqhubeka nokwenza kakuhle kakhulu.
Kodwa kukho enye indlela yokujonga umzekeliso, kwaye awuthandeki. Kuba xa umthi wemostade ukhulile, mkhulu kangangokuba iintaka zezulu zize zihlale emasebeni awo. Sizibonile ezi ntaka ngaphambili. Bakhankanyiwe kumzekeliso womhlwayeli. Baze batye imbewu engakhange iwele kumhlaba olungileyo. Kwaye iNkosi yethu iyachaza ukuba baziidemon, zizinto ezimbi.
Qaphela ukuba kumthi omncinci onamasebe ambalwa, kulula ukubona indlwane yentaka. Ayisiyondlwana nje elula ukuyibona, kodwa kulula ukuyisusa kumthi omncinci. Akunjalo ngomthi omkhulu okanye omdala. Kukho amasebe amaninzi kunye namahlamvu amaninzi kangangokuba kunzima ukubona. Kwaye nasemva kokubona indlwane, kunzima ukuyisusa njengoko inokuba phezulu. Kunjalo ke nakubantu abadala elukholweni: okukhona usazi ukholo, kokukhona umthi uba mkhulu kwaye kunzima ngakumbi ukubona ububi kuthi, kokukhona kunzima ukuwususa.
Siqhela ityala; Sinomkhwa wokujonga umhlaba ngayo, kwaye uyafihla, ucinga ukubonakala kwesidima. Yiyo ke loo nto ubuthathaka busithela ngengubo yokuthobeka, kunye nekratshi kwisinxibo sobukhulu, kunye nomsindo ongalawulekiyo uzama ukudlulisa njengokucaphuka nje.
Ke singayifumana njani le mpazamo ukuba akukho bantu bangcwele kufutshane ukuze bancede?
Kufuneka siye kwigumbi lokugcina ulwazi esizaziyo, njengoko uSaint Bernard waseClairvaux watsho. Abantu abaninzi abayithandi, rhoqo kuba abayithandi into abayibona apho. Kodwa kuyafuneka, kwaye ukuba ucela iNgelosi yakho ekuGcinayo ukuba ikuncede ube nesibindi sokwenza oko, uyakwenza.
Kodwa ekubeni umthombo kunye nengqungquthela yayo yonke imisebenzi yeCawe ilidini leMisa, ngaba ikhona into esinokuyithatha kuMthendeleko ukuyenza ngaphakathi ukunceda oku ukuya kwigumbi elingaphantsi komhlaba? Ndicebisa ukukhanya kwekhandlela.
Ukukhanya kumiselwe ngokungqongqo kumbhiyozo weMisa eNgcwele. Akukho mthetho kumbane wombane (iparishi inokusebenzisa ukukhanya njengoko ifuna kwaye nangalo naluphi na uhlobo), kodwa kuninzi malunga namakhandlela esibingelelweni. Ikhandlela elikhanyiswe esibingelelweni lenzelwe ukumela uKristu. Idangatye ngaphezulu kwayo limela ubuThixo bakhe; ikhandlela ngokwalo, ubuntu balo; kwaye umsonto, umphefumlo wakhe.
Esona sizathu sokusetyenziswa kwamakhandlela sinokufumaneka kwimithandazo yosuku lwamakhandlela (ngendlela engaqhelekanga yesiko lamaRoma), apho iBandla licela uThixo ...
... ukuqinisekisa ukuba ngelixa amakhandlela akhanyiswe ngomlilo obonakalayo ebususa ubumnyama bobusuku, ngendlela efanayo iintliziyo zethu, ezikhanyiswe ngumlilo ongabonakaliyo, oko kukuthi, ukukhanya okukhanyayo kukaMoya oyiNgcwele, kunokukhululeka kubo bonke ubumfama Isono kwaye ngamehlo acocekileyo omoya singavunyelwa ukuba siqonde oko kumkholisayo kwaye kulungele ukusindiswa kwethu, ukuze, emva kwamadabi amnyama anobungozi obu bomi basemhlabeni, sifike kukukhanya okungafiyo.
Idangatye lokukhanya liyimfihlakalo (oku kunokubakho ngokunzulu kwi-Vigil ye-Ista, xa ukukhanya kwesibane kuphela kusetyenziswa icandelo lokuqala le-Liturgy), ecocekileyo, entle, ekhazimlayo kwaye izele kukukhanya nobushushu.
Ke, ukuba unomdla wokuphazamiseka okanye unengxaki yokungena kwigumbi lokugcina ulwazi, nceda ukhanyise ikhandlela ukuze uthandaze. Yenza umahluko omkhulu.
