PHA ibilixesha elincinci kakhulu. UMariya noYosefu babenokufumana isitali. Yintoni eyayihamba engqondweni kaMary? Wayeyazi ukuba uzalela uMsindisi, uMesiya… kodwa kwindawo encinci? Ukwamkela ukuthanda kukaThixo kwakhona, wangena esitalini waza waqalisa ukulungiselela inkosi yakhe umkhumbi.
Ewe, Yesu, ndiyazibuza into enye: Uza kum, kule ntliziyo ihlwempuzeke kangaka kwaye ungcolisiwe? Ewe, Nkosi, ndizakulandela umzekelo kaMama wakho. Akazange acele uJoseph ukuba alungise uphahla lwengca olujingileyo. Khange ayicele ukuba ilungelelanise imiqadi ethambekele kuyo, okanye izalise izikhewu apho iinkwenkwezi zasebusuku zikhanya khona. Kunoko, wacoca indawo yokuphumla yoNyana wakhe — umkhumbi omncinanana owawuza kutya iigusha kuwo. Wayitshayela eyicoce ngengubo yakhe, emva koko walungisa ngocoselelo umququ omtsha awumphathela umyeni wakhe.
Nkosi, kubonakala ngathi ndilungisa amandla am okujinga. Ndibonakala ngathi ndingenakuzinceda ukulungisa izinto ezibuthathaka kubuthathaka bam. Kwaye ndohlulekile ukugcwalisa izikhewu zomphefumlo wam ngezenzo ezilungileyo. Ndihlwempuzekile ngenene Nkosi. Kodwa uMary undibonisa ukuba mandenze ntoni: lungisa intliziyo yam ngendiza ecocekileyo yokuthobeka. Kwaye oku ndikwenza ngokuvuma izono zam phambi kwakho-wena othembisa "ukuxolela izono zethu, usicoce kuko konke ukungalungisi" (1 Jn 1: 9). (Ngandlela thile, kubonakala ngathi uyanceda ukulungisa intliziyo yam encinci ngoncedo lomlingane wakhe, uMoya oyiNgcwele…)
Khange ubuthintele ubuhlwempu besitali, kodwa wehlisela kwintlupheko yomkhumbi. Iindonga zomphefumlo wam zihlwempuzeke ngokwenene… kodwa intliziyo yam ndiyilungisile, "emkhumbini wam" ngenxa yobabalo lwakho. Kwaye ngoku, ndilinde ukuba uze. Mandikuthande Yesu! Makhe ndiphuze ubuso bakho. Makhe ndikubambe ngentliziyo yam njengoMariya ngobo busuku bungcwele.
Kuba awuzelanga zibhotwe.
Uzele mna.
Undwendwe Oluthobekileyo, uza kum!
