ITHEMBA LOKUGQIBELA LOSINDISO
UYesu uthetha noSt Faustina we ezininzi Iindlela athulula ngazo ubabalo olukhethekileyo kwimiphefumlo ngeli xesha leNceba. Enye yazo ICawa kaThixo yenceba, ngeCawe elandela iPasika, eqala ngeMisa zokuqala ngokuhlwanje (qaphela: ukwamkela ubabalo olukhethekileyo lolu suku, kufuneka siye kuXela ngaphakathi kweentsuku ze-20, kwaye ufumane umthendeleko kwimeko yobabalo. Yabona Ithemba lokugqibela losindiso.) Kodwa uYesu ukwathetha ngeNceba anqwenela ukuyithambisa ngemiphefumlo I-Chaplet yeNceba kaThixo, i Imfesane kaThixo, kwaye i Iyure yeNceba, eqala ngentsimbi yesi-3 yonke imihla.
Kodwa ngokwenene, yonke imihla, umzuzu ngamnye, umzuzwana ngamnye, sinokufikelela kwinceba nobabalo lukaYesu ngokulula:
Umbingelelo owamkelekileyo kuThixo ngumoya owaphukileyo, Intliziyo eyaphukileyo, etyumkileyo, Thixo, akuyi kuyidela. (INdumiso 51)
Singafika kuYesu nangaliphi na ixesha ngentliziyo encinci-intliziyo yomntwana-sivuma izono zethu, kwaye sithembele kuye ukuba asisindise, ngaphandle kwethu. Ngapha koko, uYesu uhlala esiza kuthi, enxanelwe intliziyo enjalo:
Yabona, ndimi emnyango ndinkqonkqoza; Ukuba nabani na uva ilizwi lam aze avule ucango, ndiza kungena endlwini yakhe ndidle naye, naye adle nam. (ISityhi. 3:20)
Ke ngoko kutheni-kutheni le Cawe ikhethekileyo, okanye iChaplet, okanye umfanekiso…?
INDALO IYAVULA
Nangona ilanga likhanya emhlabeni ukusukela ekuseni kude kube ngongcwalazi, kukho amaxesha athile emini apho ilanga linamandla kakhulu, xa ubushushu balo bukhulu kakhulu, kwaye ukukhanya kwalo kuthe ngqo. Xa kuphuma ilanga kusasa, okanye xa litshona ngorhatya, ikwayiloo langa, ukanti akukho bungqongqo kunye nobushushu obufanayo, umzekelo, ukuze iziqhamo okanye ingqolowa ikhule.
Ubabalo "lweNceba kaThixo" lufana nala maxesha “omhla” xa uYesu, uNyana kaThixo, asinika Ukuqiniswa kobabalo. Asikuko ukuba uKristu uyayeka ukusikhanyisela ngezinye iiCawe enyakeni, okanye ngezinye iiyure zosuku. Nangona kunjalo, uKristu usenza siqonde ukuba ngamaxesha athile kunyaka wekhalenda, kwaye emini, iLanga leNceba liza kukhanya kakhulu, linika okona kukhanya: ubabalo olukhethekileyo ngala maxesha. Kwimiphefumlo emininzi, isidingo sokubakho (okanye senziwe ngokuthandazela abanye) ngala maxesha kubalulekile kwimiphefumlo yabo ngeli xesha kwimbali. Yiyo loo nto uKrestu ebiza ezi zibabalo “Ithemba lokugqibela losindiso,” Kuba kwabaninzi abaphila iiyure zabo zokugqibela okanye iintsuku zobomi, nangabanye abaninzi abangazisebenzisanga iindlela eziqhelekileyo zobabalo, ezi mpawu zibonakalayo namathuba aya kubaluleka ukuze babone ukuba bayamdinga uYesu. Imfuno yabo yeNceba yakhe.
Kanjalo, wonke umphefumlo kufuneka sikhule ekuqondeni isidingo sethu sale Nceba imangalisayo, kwaye siyamkele ngakumbi nangakumbi.
UBuncwane Bothando
Ewe zininzi iinkalo kwi Amagugu enceba: Ukuvuma izono, uMthendeleko, iChristian Mercy Chaplet, iRosari, uLwesiHlanu wokuQala, iScapular, njalo njalo. Umnyango kaNondyebo wakhe uvulekile.
Kodwa kuxhomekeke kuthi ukuvula iminyango yeentliziyo kuye.
Ndinqwenela ukuba lonke ihlabathi liyazi inceba yam engapheliyo. Ndinqwenela ukunika ubabalo olungenakuthelekiswa nanto kuloo miphefumlo ithembele kwinceba yaM… lonke uluntu maluqonde inceba yam engenakulinganiswa. Ngumqondiso wexesha lokuphela; emva kwayo iya kufika imini yomgwebo. Ngelixa ixesha lisekhona, mabavumele ukuba baphume kumthombo wenceba yam; mabazuze kwiGazi naManzi athe gqi kubo. —UYesu, esiya eSt. Faustina, Idayari, n. 687, 848
