Mama!

UFrancisco de Zurbaran (1598-1664)

HER Ubukho babubambeka, ilizwi lakhe lalicacile xa wayethetha entliziyweni yam emva kokuba ndifumene iSakramente elisikelelekileyo eMthendelekweni.Yayingomso olandelayo emva kwenkomfa yeLangatye Lothando eFiladelfia apho ndathetha kwigumbi eligcweleyo malunga nesidingo sokuzithemba UMariya. Kodwa xa ndiguqa emva koMthendeleko, ndicinga ngeCrucifix ejinga phezu kwengcwele, ndacinga ngentsingiselo "yokuzingcwalisa" kuMariya. “Kuthetha ukuthini ukuzinikela ngokupheleleyo kuMariya? Umntu angazingcwalisela njani zonke izinto zakhe, ezidlulileyo nezangoku, kuMama? Ithetha ntoni kanye kanye? Athini amazwi afanelekileyo xa ndiziva ndingenakuzinceda? ”

Kwakuloo mzuzu ndeva ilizwi elingavakaliyo lithetha entliziyweni yam.

Xa umntwana omncinci ekhala ngonina, akawachazi amagama acacileyo okanye aziveze ngokugqibeleleyo. Kodwa kwanele ukuba umntwana akhale, kwaye umama uza ngokukhawuleza, amfunqule, aze amncamise ebeleni. Ngokunjalo, mntwana wam, kwanele ukumane ukhala "Mama" kwaye ndiza kuza kuwe, ndikubambise kwiBele Lobabalo, ndikunike ubabalo oludingayo. Le nto, ngohlobo lwayo elula, kukuzingcwalisela mna.

Ukusukela ngoko, la magama abutshintshe ubudlelwane bam noMary. Kuba ndihlala ndikwimeko apho ndingakwazi ukuthandaza, ndingafumani mandla okudibanisa amagama afanelekileyo, kwaye ke ngoku ndisithi, "Mama!" Kwaye uyeza. Ndiyazi ukuba uyeza, kuba nguMama olungileyo obalekela ebantwaneni bakhe nanini na xa bebiza. Ndithi "ubaleka", kodwa akakude kude ukuqala.

Xa ndicinga nzulu ngalo mfanekiso womama, ongene nzulu kubomi bam, ndiye ndaziva iNkosi yethu isongeza la magama:

Nika ingqalelo, ke ngoko, kuyo yonke into akuxelela yona.

Oko kukuthi, uMama wethu akenzi nto. Akayikhangeli into yethu engento okanye abethe egos. Endaweni yoko, usiqokelela ezingalweni zakhe ukuze asisondeze kuye UYesu, ukusomeleza ukuze sibe ngabapostile abangcono, ukusikhulisa ukuze sibe ngcwele. Kwaye ke, emva kokuba sikhale kuMama, ngaloo ndlela "sizibandakanya" kulowo "uzele lubabalo", kuya kufuneka simamele ubulumko bakhe, ukufundisa kwakhe, kunye nesikhokelo sakhe. Njani? Ewe, yiyo loo nto izolo ndithe kufuneka thandaza, thandaza, thandaza. Kuba sithandaza apho sifunda ukuva ilizwi likaMalusi Olungileyo, nokuba uthetha ngqo kwiintliziyo zethu, ngomama wakhe, okanye ngomnye umphefumlo okanye imeko. Ke, kufuneka sibhalise kwi isikolo somthandazo ke sinokufunda ukululama kwaye samkele ubabalo. Ngale ndlela, iNenekazi lethu alinako ukusincancisa kuphela, kodwa lisiphakamisele kwinqanaba elipheleleyo likaKristu, ekukhuleni ngokupheleleyo njengamaKristu. ^[1]cf. Efe 4:13

Ngendlela yokufanisa, ndiyakhumbula kwakhona apha xa, kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo, ndenza umnikelo wam wokuqala kwiNkosikazi yethu emva kwamalungiselelo eentsuku ezingamashumi amathathu anesithathu. Kwakusecaweni encinci yaseCanada apho mna nenkosikazi satshata kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo. Ndifuna ukwenza umqondiso omncinci wothando lwam kuMama Wethu, kwaye ke ndangena kwikhemesti yalapha. Konke ababenako yayiziingcungcu ezijongeka zilusizi. “Uxolo Mama, kodwa le yeyona nto intle ekufuneka ndikunike yona.” Ndabasa ecaweni, ndababeka ezinyaweni zomfanekiso oqingqiweyo wakhe, ndazahlulela.

Ngobo busuku, saya kumlindo wangoMgqibelo ebusuku. Ukufika kwethu ecaweni, ndakroba kuloo mfanekiso ukuze ndibone ukuba iintyatyambo zam zisekhona na. Babengenjalo. Ndifumanise ukuba umcoci wempahla mhlawumbi ubabukele wabaphosela kude! Kodwa xa ndijonga kwelinye icala lendawo engcwele apho kwakukho umfanekiso oqingqiweyo kaYesu, ndabona ii-carnations zam zilungiswe kakuhle nge-vase! Ngapha koko bezihonjisiwe ngo "Baby Breath", ebengekho kwezi ntyatyambo ndizithengileyo. Kwangoko, ndaqonda emphefumlweni wam: nini Sizinikela kuMariya ngendlela uYesu awamnikela ngayo bonke ubomi bakhe kuye, usithatha njengoko sinjalo-sincinci kwaye singenakuzinceda, sinesono kwaye siphukile-kwaye, kwisikolo sothando lwakhe, usenza iikopi zakhe. Kwiminyaka eliqela kamva, ndafunda la magama awathethwa nguMama wethu ku-Mnu.Lucia waseFatima:

Ufuna ukuseka ukuzinikela kwehlabathi kwintliziyo yam engafakwanga. Ndiyathembisa usindiso kwabo balwamkelayo, kwaye loo miphefumlo iya kuthandwa nguThixo njengeentyatyambo ezibekwe ndim ukuhombisa itrone yakhe. -Usikelele uMama kuSr.Lucia waseFatima. Lo mgca wokugqibela u: "iintyatyambo" zivela kwiingxelo zangaphambili zokubonakala kukaLucia; UFatima ngamagama kaLucia: iiNkumbulo zikaDade Lucia, ULouis Kondor, SVD, iphe, 187, umbhalo osemazantsi we-14.

UMariya ngumama, kwaye singabantwana bakhe-sinikwe omnye komnye phantsi koMnqamlezo. UYesu uthi kuwe nam namhlanje:

Nanku unyoko. (UYohane 19:27)

Ngamanye amaxesha, konke esinokukwenza ngaloo mizuzu — ngakumbi xa simi phambi kweminqamlezo yethu — kukuthi “Mama,” simngenise ezintliziyweni zethu… njengokuba esisa ezingalweni zakhe.

Kususela kuloo lixa umfundi lowo wamthabathela endlwini yakhe. (UYohane 19:29)

Andizixakekisi ngezinto ezinkulu kakhulu kwaye ziyandimangalisa. Mna ndiwuzolise ndawuthozamisa umphefumlo wam; Njengomntwana othulisiweyo ebeleni lonina; unjengomntwana othululwayo umphefumlo wam. (INdumiso 131: 1-2)
