Njengomfazi oza kuzala enenimba, ekhala ngenimba, sinjalo phambi kwakho, Yehova. Sikhawule, samana sizala yintlungu, sizala umoya… (u-Isaya 26: 17-18)
… I imimoya yenguqu.
ON le, ngobusuku bangaphambi kwesidlo seNenekazi lethu laseGuadalupe, sijonge kuye oyiNkwenkwezi yoVangeli eNtsha. Umhlaba ngokwawo ungenile kubusuku boVangeli oNtsha oqale ngeendlela ezininzi. Okwangoku, eli xesha lentwasahlobo liseCaweni lelinye elingasayi kuzalisekiswa ngokupheleleyo kude kube sekuphepheni kobusika. Ngale nto, ndiyathetha, singabo Ngobusuku boqeqesho olukhulu.
NGOBUSUKU LWENGUQUKO
Uninzi lwenu lubhale kule minyaka mithathu idlulileyo, nivuswe ezintliziyweni zenu nguMoya kaThixo. Ujijisana njengoko ndisenza ngezilumkiso ezibukhali eziye zakhutshwa kwisaphetha seBandla ixesha nexesha kwakhona. Abantu bezizwe ababefudula bengamaKristu abanakuzingisa olu uwexuko ngaphandle kwenceba yesandla sikaThixo esisebenza ngokusesikweni. Kutheni ujonge emhlabeni ngefestile? Eneneni, kukho ulwaphulo-mthetho olubi kuyo yonke indawo. Ubuso behlabathi abunakuqondwa njengoko umntu ebethabathe uhambo lokuzama ubomi ekwathi nkqu noyena khokho bakhe bakhululekileyo ebenokubujonga ngoloyiko. Umthetho wendalo unikele indawo kwizinto ezingezizo ezendalo; okulungileyo ngoku kuthiwa kubi. Kodwa njengokuba uKrestu, ebethelelwe kwakhona ezintliziyweni zethu, ejonge ihlabathi, akathethi kwa la mazwi awawathethayo eGolgotha?
Bawo, baxolele. Abayazi into abayenzayo!
Kodwa okufanayo akunakuthethwa ngeBandla laKhe athe wafundisa, wabumba, waza waphefumlela uMoya wakhe phezu kwawo kangangeenkulungwane ezimbini. Ukuba ihlabathi lilahlekile namhlanje, kungenxa yokuba iBandla laKhe kwizizwe ezininzi lilahlekile, alithobelanga, libhadula kwaye alizinzanga. Kuba uMzimba kaKristu ukwayiNkwenkwezi eye yavela emhlabeni ukukhokela iintlanga kwiNtliziyo eNgcwele kaYesu. Kodwa yintoni le siyibonayo! Iyintoni na le mvukelo phakathi kwayo! Luthini olu rhwaphilizo lufikelele kwelona nqanaba liphezulu lamanqanaba akhe?
Akasimemezeli na uYehova?
Bandla lam, Bandla laM! Kunqabile ukuba yaziwe. Kwanabantwana bam abaxabisekileyo baphulukene nobumsulwa babo! Uwele kangakanani kuthando lwakho lokuqala! Baphi oobhishophu bam? Baphi abefundisi bam? Liphi ilizwi lenyaniso eliphakanyiswayo ngokugquma kwengonyama? Kutheni kuthe cwaka nje? Ngaba ulibele ukuba kutheni ukhona; kutheni iCawe yam ikhona? Ngaba usindiso lwehlabathi, lwemiphefumlo elahlekileyo, alusekho ukuthanda kwakho? Ngumnqweno Wam. Igazi lam namanzi endiwaphalazayo ndiwaphalazile namhla, endiwaphalazayo namhla ezibingelelweni zenu. Ngaba umlibele uMninimzi wakho? Ùlibele na ukuba akukho mkhonzi umkhulu kunenkosi yakhe? Ngaba awubizelwanga ukuba unikele ubomi bakho ngenxa yezimvu zakho, ngenxa yam, ngenxa yoButhunywa endabunikela kwiminyaka engama-2000 eyadlulayo? Ngaba awuzibali iindleko? Ewe, bubomi benu! Kwaye ukuba uthe wazigcina ngenxa yakho, uya kulahlekelwa zizo. Kwaye njalo sifikile kwiLixa eliKhulu endithe ndalixela kwangaphambili ukususela ekuqaleni kwexesha! Iyure yokuKhetha. Iyure yeSigqibo. Ilixa legazi, nozuko, nobulungisa, nenceba. KUYIYURE! KUYIYURE!
Mna ke, njengomshumayeli weendaba ezilungileyo, ndiye ndazabalaza kanobom, ndihlala ndithomalalisa amazwi endidla ngokuwathetha. Ndifuna ukulila uxolo! Kodwa ekuphela kwento endiyibonayo ngamafu esiphango sentshabalalo aqokelelana mihla le, umzuzu nomzuzwana elundini lwale mpucuko. Ngaba kufuneka ndiyithethe? Ngaba kusafuneka ndiqinisekise? Jonga ngamehlo akho. Bona ngowakho umphefumlo. Ngaba loo ntiyo, nokugqwethwa, nobuqhophololo bunokuqhubeka? Ngaphezu koko, ingaba ubuthongo bokufa kwabaninzi kangaka, abaninzi eCaweni buqhubeleka ngeli lixa ingonyama egqubayo ichwechwela kwaye iphanga abantwana behlabathi ngokuthanda kwabo?
IQALA NGEBANDLA
Indebe yoBulungisa iyaphuphuma. Ngantoni? Ngegazi lomntwana ongekazalwa. Ngezikhalo zabalambileyo. Ngokubhomboloza kwabacinezelweyo. Ngentlungu yaloo miphefumlo ilahlekileyo elahlekileyo ngenxa yokuba ingenabalusi. Ubusuku obungaphambi kwethu ngoku, ngokumangalisayo, asiloxesha lomgwebo wehlabathi eligoso, kodwa ngumgwebo kaThixo kwiBandla elivumele izilwanyana zasendle namasela ukuba angene ezidiliyeni zalo.
Kuba lixesha lokuba umgwebo uqale ngendlu kaThixo; ukuba iqala kuthi, iyakuphela njani kwabo basilelayo ukuthobela iindaba ezilungileyo zikaThixo? (1 Petros 4:17)
Uthixo Luthando. Usoloko esenza ngothando. Kwaye eyona nto inothando ukuyenza, ngenxa yoMtshakazi waKhe nangenxa yenceba yehlabathi elifayo, kukungenelela ngamandla nokomelela. Kodwa luyintoni olu ngenelelo? Ngokuqinisekileyo kukuvumela oonyana baka-Adam ukuba bavune oko bebekuhlwayele!
Lixesha lokuba izembe libekwe engcanjini yoMthi. Ixesha lokuThena okuKhulu lilapha. Loo nto ifileyo iya kuthenwa, yaye into efileyo iya kunqunyulwa, iphoswe emlilweni. Kwaye oko kuphilayo kuya kulungiselelwa iXesha leNtwasahlobo eNtsha xa amasebe eBandla eya kwanda okomthi wemostade ukugubungela iimbombo zone zomhlaba. Isiqhamo sawo siya kuthontsiza ubusi—ubumnandi obunyulu, uthando, nenyaniso. Kodwa kuqala, isibane somlilo womcoci kufuneka sibekwe kuMzimba.
Ehlabathini lonke, utsho uYehova, isahlulo sesithathu kubo siya kunqunyulwa sitshatyalaliswe, esinye isahlulo sesithathu sishiyeke. Ndiza kuzisa isahlulo sesithathu emlilweni, kwaye ndiza kuwasulungekisa njengokucocwa kwesilivere, kwaye ndiza kuwavavanya njengoko kuvavanywa igolide. Baya kunqula igama lam, ndibaphendule; Ndiya kuthi, Bangabantu bam, bathi bona, UYehova nguThixo wam. (Zek 13: 8-9)
ISILUMKISO sadubula
Bambalwa abaqondayo ukuba iNenekazi Lethu lavela eRwanda njengeNenekazi Lethu laseKibeho ngaphambi kwembubhiso eyayilapho ngo-1994, kwimibono eyathi kamva yamkelwa nguPopu ngokwakhe. Wabonisa aba babona imibono abaselula ngemifanekiso echanekileyo eyoyikisayo yento eyayiza kwenzeka ukuba ilizwe aliguquki kububi ababebugcine ezintliziyweni zabo. Ngokunjalo nanamhlanje, iNenekazi lethu liyaqhubeka nokuvela, kodwa siyaqhubeka nokungamhoyi. Kwaye njengoko wenzayo e-Afrika ngaphambi kokuxhelwa, uyalila, kwaye uyalila, kwaye uyalila.
Mama, nceda! Kutheni ungandiphenduli nje? Andikwazi kukunyamezela ukukubona ukhathazeke ngolu hlobo… ndicela ungalili! Owu, Mama, andikwazi nokufikelela phezulu ukuze ndikuthuthuzele okanye ukomise amehlo akho. Kwenzeke ntoni ukuba ukhathazeke kangaka? Awundivumeli ukuba ndikuculele kwaye uyala ukuthetha nam. Ndiyakucela mama andikaze ndikubone ulila kwaye iyandoyikisa! —umbono kaAlphonsine kuMthendeleko wokuNyuleka, ngo-Agasti 15, 1982; Inenekazi lethu laseKibeho, ngu-Immaculée Ilibagiza, iphe. 146-147
Inenekazi lethu laphendula, licela imboni, uAlphonsine, ukuba ngokwenene acule: “Naviriye ubusa mu Ijuru” (Ndivela eZulwini ngelize):
Abantu abanambulelo,
Abandithandi, ndivela ezulwini ndingekho.
Zonke izinto ezintle ndazishiya apho kungekho nto.
Intliziyo yam izele lusizi,
Mntwana wam, ndibonise uthando,
Uyandithanda,
Sondela entliziyweni yam.
SONDELA ENTLIZIYWENI YAM
Kwaye uyasibuza, lo Mama ulilayo... abo bayakumamela... Sondela entliziyweni yam. Uthembisa ukuba, abo benzayo baya kufumana indawo yokusabela kwesi Sitshingitshane sele siza kukhululwa—ndiyakholelwa ukuba Ukuqhawulwa kwaMatywina. 
Ziqwebele izinto ezithile, iiveki ezimbalwa zokutya, amanzi, namayeza (uze ezinye uziyekele kuThixo.) Kodwa ngaphezu kwayo nantoni na, bulungise ubomi bakho kuThixo. Khulula isambatho sesono esikubambezelayo. Run ukuya kwiSivumo ukuba uyafuna! Ixesha lifutshane kakhulu. Thembela kuYesu. Ilixa lokholo—lokuhamba elukholweni ngokupheleleyo—lifikile. Abanye bethu baya kubizwa ngokuba ngamakhaya; abanye baya kubulawa; ukanti abanye baya kukhokelwa yiTyeya yoMnqophiso ukuya kwentsha Isahluko soxolo nto leyo eyaprofetwa ngabaseki beCawa bamandulo, iZibhalo Ezingcwele, kunye nenenekazi lethu. Sonke siyakubizelwa ukwenza ubungqina obunamandla, umsebenzi esiwulungiseleleyo kwezi ntsuku kubulungiseleli Bastion. Sukoyika. Hlala nje uphaphile! Hlala ukhumbula, ikhaya lakho liseZulwini. Gxilisa amehlo akho kuYesu, ukhumbule ukuba eli hlabathi lisisithunzi esidlulayo, ixesha elifutshane kulwandlekazi lwanaphakade.
UThixo ethandile, ndiyakuba nani ngale yure okoko nje Evumele, ukuba ndinithandazele kwaye ndinikhuthaze njengoko abaninzi benu bendenzela mna. Ixesha likaThixo, nokuba kuthabatha ixesha elingakanani ukutyhileka, alaziwa kuthi. Kwaye ke siyabukela, kwaye siyathandaza, kwaye sithemba kunye… kuba konke okukhoyo nokuzayo kulele kwizicwangciso zolungiselelo olungcwele.
Xa umhlaba waqina ebubini, uThixo wathumela umkhukula ukuba awohlwaye aze awukhulule. Wabiza uNowa ukuba abe nguyise wexesha elitsha, wambongoza ngamazwi obubele, wabonisa ukuba wayemthembile; Wamnika umyalelo wobutata ngentlekele ekhoyo, yaye ngobabalo lwaKhe wamthuthuzela ngethemba lekamva. Kodwa uThixo akazange nje akhuphe imiyalelo; endaweni yokuba uNowa abe nesabelo kumsebenzi, Wawuzalisa umkhombe ngembewu yexesha elizayo yehlabathi lonke. —ISt. UPetros Chrysologus, Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyure, pg. 235, uMqulu I
Ngokuqinisekileyo asinqweneli isiphelo sehlabathi. Sekunjalo, siyafuna ukuba eli hlabathi lingenabulungisa liphele. Sikwafuna ukuba umhlaba uguqulwe ngokusisiseko, sifuna ukuqala kwempucuko yothando, ukufika kwehlabathi lobulungisa noxolo, elingenabundlobongela, elingenandlala. Siyayifuna yonke le nto, kodwa inokwenzeka njani ngaphandle kobukho bukaKristu? Ngaphandle kobukho bukaKristu akusayi kuze kubekho ihlabathi elinobulungisa ngokwenene nelihlaziyiweyo. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Abaphulaphuli Jikelele, “Enoba kusekupheleni kwexesha okanye ebudeni bokungabikho koxolo okulusizi: Yiza Nkosi Yesu!", L'Osservatore RomanoNgomhla we-12 ku-Okthobha ka-2008
