Ilizwi likaThixo
Isifundo sokuqala · 1 Corinthians 10:14-22
Bathandekayo bam, balekani unqulo-zithixo. Ndithetha njengakubantu abanengqondo; gwebeni nina ngokwenu oko ndikuthethayo. Ndebe yentsikelelo esiyisikelelayo, ayikho na ukuba ngumanyano negazi likaKristu? Sonka esiqhekezayo, asikho na ukuba ngumanyano nomzimba kaKristu? Ngokuba isonka sisinye, thina, nangona sibaninzi, singumzimba omnye, kuba sonke sabelana ngeso sonka sinye. Jonga uSirayeli ngokwenyama; abo badla imibingelelo abangabo na abathathi-nxaxheba esibingelelweni? Ngoko ndithini na? Ukuba inyama ebingelelwe ezithixweni iyinto? Okanye isithixo siyinto? Hayi, ndithi oko bakubingelelayo, bakubingelela iidemon, hayi uThixo, kwaye andifuni nibe ngabathathi-nxaxheba needemon. Aninakusela ndebe yeNkosi kwaye nasela ndebe yeedemon. Aninakudla etafileni yeNkosi nase tafileni yeedemon. Okanye siphosa iNkosi kumsindo onomona? Singamandla kunaYo na?
Indumiso · Psalm 116:12-13, 17-18
R. Ndinikela kuwe, Nkosi, umbingelelo wokubulela. Ndiyakubuyisela ntoni na eNkosini, ngenxa yazo zonke izinto ezilungileyo eyenzele zona? Ndebe yosindiso ndiya kuyiphakamisa, kwaye ndiya kubiza igama leNkosi. R. Ndinikela kuwe, Nkosi, umbingelelo wokubulela. Ndiya kunikela kuwe umbingelelo wokubulela, kwaye ndiya kubiza igama leNkosi. Izifungo zam eziya eNkosini ndiya kuzizalisa phambi kwabantu bayo bonke. R. Ndinikela kuwe, Nkosi, umbingelelo wokubulela.
IVangeli · Luke 6:43-49
UYesu wathi kubafundi bakhe: 'Umthi olungileyo awuvelisi ziqhamo zibolileyo, nomthi obolileyo awuvelisi ziqhamo zilungileyo. Ngokuba wonke umthi waziwa ngezithelo zawo. Ngokuba abantu abakhi makhiwa kuminyango, nabadiliya abakhi kudiliya emithini enameva. Umntu olungileyo, kwindlu yobulungisa yentliziyo yakhe, uvelisa okuhle, kodwa umntu ombi, kwindlu yobubi, uvelisa okubi; ngokuba umlomo uthetha oko kuzaliswe yintliziyo. Kutheni nindibiza ngokuthi, Nkosi, Nkosi, kodwa ningenzi oko ndikuyalelayo? Ndiya kunibonisa ukuba unjani umntu oza kum, aphulaphule amazwi am, aze enze ngawo. Lowo ufana nomntu owakha indlu, owemba nzulu, wabeka isiseko edwaleni; xa isiphango sezulu size, umlambo uqubuke wayibetha loo ndlu, kodwa awuzange ukwazi ukuyinyikinya, kuba yayakhiwe kakuhle. Kodwa lowo uphulaphulayo, angayenzi, ufana nomntu owakha indlu emhlabeni, engenaso isiseko. Xa umlambo uqubuke wayibetha, yawa kwangoko, yatshabalala ngokupheleleyo.'
Ndinikela kuwe, Nkosi, umbingelelo wokubulela.
Intshumayelo

Kukho umfanekiso ohlala unamathele engqondweni yam xa ndicinga ngobomi bukaBenjamin. Akusiyo indiza ebaleka esibhakabhakeni, nangona wayezithanda kakhulu izindiza. Akusiyo nenkqubo yekhompyutha ayeyikodileyo ngobuchule bakhe. Ndingacinga ngomzuzu apho uBen, eseyinkwenkwana nje, ethetha nabazali bakhe ngendlela anokunceda ngayo umalume wakhe uWilliam. Ubenesiphakamiso esivela entliziyweni yakhe encinci: wayefuna ukunikela ngayo yonke imali yakhe yasebhange. Akazange ayaphule leyo ngulube yemali, akazange ayikhuphule, kodwa into ebalulekileyo kukuba wayenikile. Wayenikele ngayo yonke into awayenayo. Le yimveliso yomthi olungileyo; sisithelo esivela entliziyweni enothando olumsulwa.

Namuhla, uYesu usixelela ukuba 'umthi olungileyo awuvelisi ziqhamo zibolileyo.' UBen wayengumfana walo mthi ulungileyo. Wayengumfana owawunomdla kakhulu, owayebona ihlabathi njengendawo yokufunda, kodwa ngaphezu kwako konke, wayebona abantu njengabantu abafanele ukuthandwa. Xa ucinga ngaloo mzuzu wokunikela ngemali yakhe, ubona uthando olungenabugovu. UBen wayengaziqhayisi; wayengumfana owayethanda ukuzama, owayezinikele ekwenzeni okuhle. Le yimveliso yentliziyo enokholo olunzulu.

Kodwa, bafowethu nodadewethu, masithethe inyaniso. Sekuphele iinyanga ezimbini ngoku. Iinyanga ezimbini zokuziva ukuba indlu ithule kakhulu. Iinyanga ezimbini zokujonga izihlalo ezingenanto. Alan noThao, ndiyazi ukuba usizi luyinto enzima. Niyazibuza ukuba kwenzeke ntoni. Niyazibuza ukuba kutheni lo mfana owayephila ngothando, owayephila ngobubele, kufuneka ahambe ngolu hlobo. Niyazibuza ukuba kukhona na eninokukwenza ngcono. Ndicela niphulaphule: Ukugula akulona iphutha lenu. Akukho nto eniyenze ngendlela engalunganga. UThixo akakubeki icala, kwaye noBen akakubeki icala. Susa lowo mthwalo wokuzisola egxalabeni lakho. UBen wayekuthanda kakhulu. Wayekuthanda njengoba wayekuthanda ukulalela amabali kaBawo. Wayekuthanda njengoba wayekuthanda ukuhamba nawe, Ryan, kwi-roller coaster. Uthando lwakhe lwaluphelele.

UJesu uthi: 'Lowo uphulaphulayo, aze enze amazwi am, ufana nomntu owakha indlu, wemba nzulu, wabeka isiseko edwaleni.' UBen wayeyindoda encane eyayakha isiseko sayo edwaleni. Ukholo lwakhe, ububele bakhe, uthando lwakhe—konke oku kwakuyisiseko esomeleleyo. Xa isiphango sezifo size, loo ndlu ayizange iwe, kuba yayakhiwe kakuhle. UBen usekhululekile ngoku. Akasabandezeleki. Usebanquet yasezulwini, ecaleni kukaSaint Carlo Acutis, owayenomoya ofanayo nowakhe. UBen usekhaya.

Ryan, mfowethu omncane, uBen uyamthanda. Ungalokothi uzive ungedwa. UBen uyaqhubeka ekukhathalele. Qhubeka uphila ngesibindi, ube ngumfana owayeyiyo—onemfesane, onobubele, nonesibindi. UBen uyaqhubeka ekhanya ngomsebenzi wakhe wothando, njengalo mthombo wamanzi eCà Mau, olethela ubomi kwabanye. Uthando lwakhe aluzange luphele; lusaqhubeka lugeza umhlaba njengolwandle olukhulu. Nani, Alan noThao, ningayeki ukuthanda. Nithandeke kakhulu nguThixo.

Namhlanje, ndicela nithathe le nto inye: Ben wayengumfana onikela ngayo yonke into yakhe. Nani, nikani konke usizi lwenu kuThixo. Musani ukuzama ukuluthwala lodwa. Vumelani uYesu ukuba abe lulwalwa lwenu. Xa uziva usizi, yithi: 'Nkosi, ndiyakuthanda, kwaye ndiyakuthemba.' UBen uyaqhubeka esidumisela kuThixo. Uthando lwenu luyaqhubeka luhleli, lusaqhubeka lukhula, kwaye uBen uyaqhubeka ekhanya. Benjamin, lala ngokuthula. Uthando lwakho lulukhanya olungasoze lwavaleleka. Amen.
