“Phambi kwemifanekiso eqingqiweyo kaTheodosius waseChernigov (1896), umfundisi owayenxibe ezo zinto, ediniwe, wozela waza wabona ingcwele phambi kwakhe, eyathi kuye: “Enkosi ngokusebenza nzima. mna. Ndisacela xa nikhonza kwinkonzo yenkonzo nithandazele bazali bam”. Kwaye wabiza amagama abo - uNikita umbingeleli noMaria. "Kutheni undibuza oku, ngcwele, ufuna umthandazo ovela kum, xa wena ngokwakho umi phambi kweTrone yeZulu kwaye unike inceba kaThixo ebantwini?" - wabuza umbingeleli "Ewe, kuyinyaniso, kodwa umnikelo we-liturgical unamandla kunomthandazo wam," uSt. Theodosius waphendula.
Iinkonzo zeSikhumbuzo, imithandazo yasekhaya, kunye nezenzo ezilungileyo kwinkumbulo yabo, njengokunikela izipho, iminikelo eCaweni, ziluncedo kakhulu kwabafileyo, kodwa ukukhankanywa kweLiturgy yoBungcwele kubaluleke kakhulu. Kukho ubungqina obuninzi kunye neziganeko eziqinisekisa oku luncedo. Abaninzi abafa benenguquko, kodwa basilela ukuyibonakalisa ebudeni bexesha lokuphila kwabo, bakhululwa kwintuthumbo baza bafumana ukuphumla. Icawa ihlala inikela ngemithandazo yokuphumla kwabafileyo, nangomhla we-St. Ngamnye wethu ofuna ukubonisa uthando lwethu ngabafileyo kwaye abanike uncedo lokwenyani angakwenza oko ngokubathandazela, ngakumbi ngokubhekisele kwiLiturgy Engcwele, xa amasuntswana abafileyo nabaphilayo ephoswa kwiChalice yeGazi leGazi. Zihlambe, Nkosi, izono zabo bakhankanyiweyo apha, apho likhona igazi lakho, ngemithandazo yabakho benceba. Akukho nto ingcono nenkulu esinokubenzela yona ngaphandle kokubanika amagama abo ukuze akhankanywe kwinkonzo yonqulo. Bahlala beyidinga, kodwa ngokukodwa ngaloo mihla ye-40 xa umphefumlo womfi udlula kwindlela eya kwiindawo zokuhlala ezingunaphakade. Emva koko umzimba awuva nto, awuboni abathandekayo abaqokelelweyo, awuyi kuvumba iphunga leentyantyambo, akayikuva i-eulogies. Kodwa umphefumlo uyayiva imithandazo eyenziwa kuwo, unombulelo kwabawunikelayo kwaye uziva usondelene nabo ngokomoya.
Zizalamane nabahlobo bomfi! Yenza kubo konke okusemandleni akho ngokwamandla akho. Musa ukuchitha imali kwimihlobiso yangaphandle yamangcwaba namangcwaba, kodwa ekuncedeni abasweleyo, ngokukhumbula izalamane zomfi, kwicawa apho kuthandazelwa khona. Bonisa inceba kumfi, unyamekele umphefumlo wakhe. Sonke sinale ndlela phambi kwethu - singafuna njani ke ukukhankanywa emthandazweni! Masibe nenceba kwabafileyo. Ngokukhawuleza xa umntu efa, biza umfundisi ukuba amfunde "Ukulandelana ekuphumeni komphefumlo", okumele kufundwe kuwo wonke amaOthodoki emva kokufa kwakhe. Zama ukuba nenkonzo yomngcwabo ecaweni ngokwayo, kwaye de kube ngoko umfundele iPsalter. Umngcwabo awunakwenziwa ngobunewunewu, kodwa ngokundilisekileyo ngokupheleleyo, ngaphandle kwezifinyezo; musani ukucinga ngentuthuzelo yenu, kodwa nicinge ngomfi, lowo nithi nisale kakuhle ngonaphakade. Ukuba ngelo xesha kukho abafi abaliqela ebandleni, musa ukwala ukubaculela kunye. Kuya kuba ngcono ukuba kukho ababini okanye abathathu abangasekhoyo, ukuze umthandazo wabo bonke abazalwayo behlangene ube namandla ngakumbi kunokuba baculwa ngokwahlukeneyo, badiniwe kwaye banciphisa inkonzo. Wonke umthandazo uya kuba njengelinye ithontsi lamanzi kumntu onxaniweyo. Qinisekisa ukuba wenzela abafileyo, ixesha lokuzila. Ezicaweni apho kuqhutywa khona iinkonzo zemihla ngemihla, kukhunjulwa abafi ebudeni bezi ntsuku zingama-40 nangaphezulu. Ukuba umfi ungcwatyelwa kwicawa ekungekho nkonzo yemihla ngemihla, ngoko izalamane zifanele zinyamekele ukumfumana zize ziodole inkonzo yePentekoste apho.
Kwakhona, kuhle ukuba amagama abo anikwe ukuze afundwe kwiimonki zaseYerusalem okanye kwezinye iindawo ezingcwele. Kodwa into ebalulekileyo kukuba iLente kufuneka iyalwe ngokukhawuleza emva kokufa, xa umphefumlo ufuna uncedo lomthandazo.
Masibakhathalele abo baya kwelinye ilizwe eliphambi kwethu, masibenzele konke esinako, sikhumbula ukuba “Banoyolo abanenceba, ngokuba baya kwenzelwa inceba bona.”
