NGATI kukhala ndi Mwana wa Mulungu ngati mwana wanu sikutsimikizira kuti zonse zidzakhala bwino. M'chisanu chachisanu chosangalatsa chachinsinsi, Maria ndi Yosefe adazindikira kuti Yesu akusowa pagulu lawo. Atafufuza, adampeza m'kachisi kumbuyo ku Yerusalemu. Lemba limanena kuti "adadabwa" ndikuti "sanamvetse zomwe ananena kwa iwo."

Umphawi wachisanu, womwe ungakhale wovuta kwambiri, ndi wa kudzipereka: kuvomereza kuti tilibe mphamvu zopewera zovuta, zovuta, komanso zobweza zomwe zimaperekedwa tsiku lililonse. Amabwera — ndipo timadabwa — makamaka ngati mwadzidzidzi ndipo akuoneka kuti siwofunika kwenikweni. Apa ndipomwe timakumana ndi umphawi wathu… Kulephera kwathu kumvetsetsa chifuniro chodabwitsa cha Mulungu.

Koma kuvomereza chifuniro cha Mulungu ndi kufatsa kwa mtima, kupereka ngati mamembala achifumu achifumu kuvutika kwathu kwa Mulungu kuti tisandulike chisomo, ndi njira yomweyo yomwe Yesu adalandirira Mtandawo, nati, "Osati chifuniro changa koma chanu chichitike." Momwe Khristu adakhalira wosauka! Ndife olemera bwanji chifukwa cha izi! Ndipo moyo wa wina udzalemera pamene golidi wamasautso athu amaperekedwa kwa iwo kuchokera mu umphawi wakudzipereka.

Chifuniro cha Mulungu ndicho chakudya chathu, ngakhale nthawi zina chimakoma kuwawa. Mtanda unali owawa ndithu, koma panalibe Kuuka popanda iwo.

Umphawi wodzipereka uli ndi nkhope: chipiriro.

I know your tribulation and poverty, but you are rich... Do not be afraid of anything you are going to suffer... remain faithful until death, I will give you the crown of life. (Chibv. 2: 9-10)
