Ndiziva ndinyanzelekile ukuba ndibhale kwakhona lo mbhalo apha ngokuhlwanje. Siphila kumzuzu oyingozi, ukuzola ngaphambi kwesiqhwithi, xa abaninzi behendelwa ukulala. Kodwa kufuneka sihlale siphaphile, oko kukuthi, amehlo ethu ajonge ekwakheni uBukumkani bukaKristu ezintliziyweni zethu nakwilizwe elisingqongileyo. Ngale ndlela, siyakube sihlala kukhathalelo nobabalo oluqhubekayo lukaTata, ukukhuselwa nokuthanjiswa nguYe. Siza kuhlala kwiTyeya, kwaye kufuneka sibekhona ngoku, kuba kungekudala izakuqala ukunisa ubulungisa kwilizwe elinamaqhekeza kwaye lomile kwaye linxanelwe uThixo. Ukupapashwa kokuqala ngo-Epreli 30, 2011.

 

UKRISTU UVUKILE, ALLELUIA!

 

KANJALO Uvukile, alleluya! Ndikubhalela namhlanje ndisuka eSan Francisco, e-USA ngobusuku obandayo kunye neVigil of Divine Mercy, kunye neBeatification kaJohn Paul II. Kwikhaya apho ndihlala khona, izandi zenkonzo yomthandazo eyenzeka eRoma, apho kuthandazwa khona iimfihlakalo ezikhanyayo, zingena egumbini ngobumnene bomthombo ovuza amanzi kunye namandla engxangxasi. Umntu akanakunceda kodwa angoyiswa yi ziqhamo yovuko olucace gca njengoko iBandla leNdalo iphela lithandaza ngazwi-nye ngaphambi kokumiselwa kuka-Peter. Inkqubo ye- amandla yecawa-amandla kaYesu-akhoyo, kokubini ubungqina obubonakalayo balo msitho, kwaye phambi kobudlelane babaNgcwele. UMoya oyiNgcwele uyashukuma…

Apho ndihlala khona, igumbi langaphambili linodonga oluhonjiswe ngemifanekiso eqingqiweyo kunye nemifanekiso eqingqiweyo: iSt. Zonke zinamabala eenyembezi zeoyile okanye zegazi eziwe emehlweni abo kwiinyanga ezidlulileyo. Umlawuli wokomoya kwesi sibini sihlala apha nguFr. USeraphim Michalenko, usekela-postulator wenkqubo yokubekwa kukaSt Faustina. Umfanekiso wakhe edibana noJohn Paul II uhleli ezinyaweni zomnye wemifanekiso eqingqiweyo. Uxolo olubonakalayo kunye nobukho bukaMama oBusisiweyo kubonakala ngathi kugcwele egumbini…

Kwaye ke, kuphakathi kwala mazwe mabini ukuba ndikubhalele. Kwelinye icala, ndibona iinyembezi zovuyo zisihla ebusweni babo babethandaza eRoma; kwelinye, iinyembezi zosizi zisihla emehlweni eNkosi neNkosazana yethu kweli khaya. Ndiyabuza kwakhona, "Yesu, ufuna ndithini ebantwini bakho?" Kwaye ndiziva entliziyweni yam amazwi,

Xelela abantwana bam ukuba ndiyabathanda. Ukuba ndinguNceba uqobo. Nenceba ubiza abantwana bam ukuba bavuke.

UKHOLO yioli egcwalisa izibane zethu kwaye isilungiselela ukuza kukaKrestu (Mat 25). Kodwa silufumana njani olu kholo, okanye mandithi, sizalisa izibane zethu? Impendulo igqithile mthandazo

Umthandazo uhambela kubabalo esilufunayo… -ICatechism yeCawa yamaKatolika (CCC), n.2010

Abantu abaninzi baqala unyaka omtsha besenza "isisombululo sonyaka omtsha" - isithembiso sokutshintsha indlela ethile yokuziphatha okanye ukufezekisa iinjongo ezithile. Ke bazalwana noodade, zimiseleni ukuthandaza. Ambalwa ke amaKatolika abona ukubaluleka kukaThixo namhlanje kuba abasathandazi. Ukuba bangathandaza ngokungaguquguqukiyo, iintliziyo zabo ziya kugcwaliswa ngakumbi nangakumbi ngeoli yokholo. Baza kudibana noYesu ngendlela yobuqu, kwaye baqiniseke ngaphakathi kwabo ukuba ukhona kwaye unguye lo athi Unguye. Banokunikwa ubulumko obuvela ezulwini bokuqonda ngale mihla siphila kuyo, nangakumbi umbono wasezulwini wazo zonke izinto. Baza kudibana naYe xa bemfuna ngentembeko efana nomntwana…

… Mfune ngentliziyo egqibeleleyo; kuba ufunyenwe ngabo bangamcikidiyo, ezibonakalalisa nakwabo bangakholwayo kuye. (Ubulumko 1: 1-2)
