"Isikolo sikaMariya"

UPapa Uyathandaza

IPOPE UJohn Paul II wabiza iRosari "sisikolo sikaMariya".

Kukaninzi kangakanani ndiphazanyiswa kukuphazamiseka kunye noxinzelelo, kuphela ukuba nditshone kuxolo olukhulu xa ndiqala ukuthandaza iRosari! Kwaye kutheni le nto isothusa? IRosari ayikho enye into ngaphandle kokuba "yingxelo yeVangeli" (URosarium Virginis MariaeJPII). Kwaye iLizwi likaThixo linjalo "living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword" (Heb 4: 12).

Ngaba unqwenela ukunciphisa usizi lwentliziyo yakho? Ngaba unqwenela ukugqobhoza ubumnyama emphefumlweni wakho? Emva koko thatha le Sword ikwimo yetyathanga, kwaye ngayo, cingisisa ubuso bukaKristu KwiMfihlelo zeRosari. Ngaphandle kweeSakramente, andazi ukuba ayikho enye indlela umntu anokukhawuleza ngayo ukunyuka iindonga zobungcwele, akhanyiselwe kwisazela, aziswe enguqukweni, avulelwe kulwazi ngoThixo, ngaphandle kwalo mthandazo mncinci we-Handmaiden.

Kwaye unamandla lo mthandazo, zikwanjalo izilingo hayi ukuthandaza. Ngapha koko, ndiyalwa ngokobuqu nokuzinikela ngaphezulu kwayo nayiphi na enye. Kodwa isiqhamo sonyamezelo sinokufaniswa nalowo uqhuba amakhulu eenyawo phantsi komhlaba ade ekugqibeleni atyhile umgodi wegolide.

    Ukuba ngexesha leRosari, uphazanyiswa izihlandlo ezingama-50, emva koko qalisa ukuthandaza kwakhona ixesha ngalinye. Unikezele nje ngezenzo ezingama-50 zothando kuThixo. –Fr. UBob Johnson, IMadonna House Apostolate (umphathi wam wokomoya)
