THE Masiku apitawa, mzimu wanga wamva ngati nangula womangiriridwa mozungulira… ngati kuti ndikuyang'ana kumtunda kwa dzuwa pamene kukuzimiririka ndi Dzuwa, pamene ndikumira kwambiri ndikutopa.
Nthawi yomweyo ndimamva mawu mumtima mwanga akunena kuti,
Osataya mtima! Khalani tcheru… awa ndi mayesero am'munda, a Anamwali khumi omwe adagona Tulo la Mkwati wawo lisanabwerenso…
Pamene mkwati amachedwa, onse adagona ndikugona. (Mat. 25: 5)
Kumapeto kwa tsikulo, ndidatembenukira ku Office of Readings ndikuwerenga kuti:
Odala odala, ndi odala, ndi iwo amene Ambuye adzawaona akadzafika. Yodala nthawi yakudikirira tikamadikira Ambuye, Mlengi wachilengedwe chonse, yemwe amadzaza zinthu zonse ndikupambana zinthu zonse.
Ndikulakalaka atandidzutsa, wantchito wake wodzichepetsayo, ku tulo ta ulesi, ngakhale ndili wopanda pake. Momwe ndikulakalaka akananditsitsimutsa ndi moto wachikondi chaumulungu. Malawi a chikondi chake amayaka kupitirira nyenyezi; kulakalaka zokondweretsa zake zazikulu ndi moto waumulungu ukuyaka mkati mwanga!
Ndikulakalaka nditakhala woyenera kuti nyali yanga iziyatsa nthawi zonse usiku mnyumba ya Ambuye wanga, kuti iunikire onse omwe alowa mnyumba ya Mulungu wanga. Ndipatseni, ndikupemphani, Ambuye, m'dzina la Yesu Khristu Mwana wanu ndi Mulungu wanga, chikondi chomwe sichitha kuti nyali yanga, yoyaka mkati mwanga ndikupatsa owunikira ena, iziyatsidwa nthawi zonse osazimitsanso. — St. Columban, Liturgy ya Maola, Vol IV, p. 382.
