ILIZWI LANGAPHAMBILI NALONA NGOKU
Ngendlela yokuqinisekisa olu bizo lwedabi, iqabane lam kuKristu, uFr. UKyle Dave-engazi ngeli gama ndilifumene ngaphezulu-undithumele ngaxeshanye. Ivela kuMama wethu waseLa Salette, umyalezo osuka ngoSeptemba 19, 1846:
Ndenza isibongozo esingxamisekileyo emhlabeni. Ndibiza bonke abafundi bokwenene boThixo ophilayo olawula ezulwini. Ndibiza bonke abalingisi bokwenene bakaKrestu abenziwe umntu, okuphela koMsindisi wokwenene woluntu. Ndibiza bonke abantwana bam, bonke abo bazinikele ngokwenene, bonke abo bazishiyileyo kum ukuze ndibakhokelele kuNyana wam ongcwele. Ndibiza bonke abo ndibaphethe ngeengalo zam, oko kukuthi, abo bahlala emoyeni wam. Okokugqibela, ndibiza bonke abaPostile bexesha lokuphela, bonke abafundi abathembekileyo bakaYesu Krestu, abaphila ngokulijongela phantsi ihlabathi nabo ngokwabo, behlwempuzekile kwaye begculelwa, kubomi bokuthula, ukuthandaza nokubulawa, bunyulu kwaye umanyene noThixo, ekubandezelekeni nasekungaziwa lihlabathi.
Lixesha lokuba baphume bayokukhanyisa umhlaba.
Hambani niyokuzibonakalalisa njengoko abantwana bam endibathandayo befanele ukuhamba. Ndikunye nawe kwaye ndikuwe, ukuba ukholo lwakho kukuKhanya okukukhanyisayo ngala maxesha osizi. Inkuthalo yakho ingakwenza ulambele uzuko nembeko kaYesu Krestu.
Ngenani emfazweni, Bantwana bokuKhanya, kwinani nje elincinane onalo; ngokuba ixesha lifikile; isiphelo sikufuphi. -Isicatshulwa esivela kumbhalo wesandla wokugqibela wemfihlo kaLa Salette obhalwe nguMelanie nge-21 kaNovemba ngo-1878 kwaye uxelelwe ngu-Fr Laurentin no-Fr Corteville e Imfihlelo yaseLa Salette ifunyenwe -Fayard 2002 ("Découverte du Imfihlo de La Salette")
… Uphile ubomi bakho bonke obusemhlabeni, ungasazenzi iinkanuko zabantu, kodwa ngentando kaThixo. (1 Pet 4: 2)
