Wayehlala yedwa,

Futhi wakhe yedwa isidleke sakhe;

Echitha isikhathi yedwa, yendwa nje

Loyo omthandayo wamqondisa,

Eyedwa nje elinyazwe uthando.

St John weSiphambano (I-Canticle yokomoya noMphefumlo neyoMyeni, 1586)

UPapa uFrancis kwi Gaudete et Exsultate, 147-149 uchaza ubungcwele ngokuthi “… kubandakanya ukuvuleka ngokwejwayelekile kwento edlulayo, kuvezwa ngomkhuleko nokudumisa. Abangcwele bahlukaniswa ngumoya womkhuleko kanye nesidingo sokuhlangana noNkulunkulu. Bathola ukukhathazeka okukhethekile kulelizwe njengento encane futhi elukhuni, nokuba, phakathi kokukhathazeka kwabo kanye nokuzibophezela kwabo, balangazelela uNkulunkulu, balahlekelwe ekudumiseni nasekucabangeni kweNkosi. Angikholelwa ebungcweleni ngaphandle komkhuleko, noma ngabe lowo mthandazo awudingi ukuba ube mude noma uhilele imizwa ejulile. UJohane woMnqamlezo usitshela lokhu: 'Zama ukuhlala njalo uphambi kobuso bukaNkulunkulu, kungaba ngokoqobo, emcabangweni, noma ngokuhlangana, yize kuvunyelwe yimisebenzi yakho '. Ekupheleni, isifiso sethu ngoNkulunkulu ngokuqinisekile sizothola ukubonakala empilweni yethu yansuku zonke: 'Zama ukuqhubeka ngomkhuleko, naphakathi kokuvivinya umzimba ungakushiyi. Ukuthi uyadla, uyaphuza, ukhuluma nabanye, noma wenza noma yini, njalo iya kuNkulunkulu futhi unamathisele inhliziyo yakho kuye '. Ukuze lokhu kwenzeke, nokho, ezinye izikhathi ozichithwa wedwa noNkulunkulu nazo ziyadingeka. Ngokuya kuka-St Teresa wase-Avila, umkhuleko 'akulutho ngaphandle kobuhlobo bobudlelwano, kanye nokuxoxa njalo kukodwa, Naye esimaziyo uyasithanda '. Ngingcizelela ukuthi lokhu kuyiqiniso hhayi kwabambalwa abanelungelo, kodwa kithina sonke, ngoba 'sonke siyakudinga lokhu kuthula, kugcwele ubukhona baLowo okhonzwayo '. Umkhuleko ogcwele ukwethemba ukuphendula kwenhliziyo evulekele ukuhlangana noNkulunkulu ubuso nobuso, lapho konke ukuthula nezwi leNkosi elizwakalayo lingazwakala phakathi kokuthula. Kulokho kuthula, siyakwazi ukubona, ekukhanyeni kukaMoya, izindlela zobungcwele iNkosi isibizela zona. Ngaphandle kwalokho, zonke izinqumo esizenzayo zingaba yize nje, kunokuba siphakamise iVangeli ezimpilweni zethu, izoyikhihla noma uyiqothule. Ngomfundi ngamunye, kubalulekile ukuchitha isikhathi noMdali, ukulalela amazwi Akhe, futhi ufunde kuye njalo. Ngaphandle kokuthi silalele, wonke amazwi ethu ngeke abe yilutho ngaphandle kwengxoxo engenamsebenzi… ”

Ngokombono ohlukile uPapa Benedict XVI encwadini ethi 'Apostles' uphawula ukuthi "Ubungcwele abuhlangani ngokungakaze wenze isiphambeko noma ukona. Ubungcwele bukhulisa amandla okuguqulwa, ngokuphenduka, ngokuzimisela ukuqala kabusha futhi, ikakhulukazi, ukubuyisana nokuxolelwa… Ngenxa yalokho, akulona iqiniso ukuthi asikaze senze iphutha kodwa amandla ethu okubuyisana nokuthethelela okusenza sibe ngcwele. Futhi sonke singafunda le ndlela yobungcwele ”.

Ngakho-ke ubungcwele abusikho ukuphelela; ubungcwele buyindlela ekhulayo yothando nokukhulisa ubungani bethu noNkulunkulu nsuku zonke - futhi Yebo, sonke singafunda le ndlela yobungcwele. Kukhuthaza kakhulu, futhi kukhuthaza kanjani-ke ukuthi siyazi ngempilo yakamuva nje eyakaDomitilla noDanny Hyams njengezibonelo ezinhle kakhulu zobungcwele ezweni lanamuhla lokuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo nelokuzithanda..
