PHA kuncokola kakhulu namhlanje malunga nokuba esi siprofeto siza kuzalisekiswa nini, ngakumbi kule minyaka imbalwa izayo. Kodwa ndihlala ndicinga ngento yokuba ngobu busuku inokuba bubusuku bam bokugqibela emhlabeni, kwaye ke, kum, ndifumana ugqatso lokuba "ndazi umhla" ungoyena ubalaseleyo. Ndihlala ndincuma xa ndicinga ngebali likaSt.Francis, owathi, ngelixa esenza igadi, wabuzwa: "Unokwenza ntoni ukuba ubusazi ukuba umhlaba uza kutshabalala namhlanje?" Uphendule wathi, “Ndicinga ukuba ndiza kugqiba ukulima lomqolo weembotyi.” Nabu ubulumko bukaFrancis: uxanduva lomzuzu yintando kaThixo. Intando kaThixo iyimfihlakalo, ngakumbi xa isiza ixesha.

U-Yona waqalisa uhambo lwakhe esixekweni… evakalisa, “Iintsuku ezimashumi mane kusenokwenzeka ukuba iNineve iya kutshatyalaliswa”… Xa uThixo wabona ngezenzo zabo indlela ababuya ngayo ezindleleni zabo ezimbi, waguquka ebubini obabethe uzobenza kubo; khange ayenze.

Namhlanje, singamangqina obunye bobubi obunesibindi-ukonakala okwandayo ngeveki. Kwaye ayimangalisi into yokuva wonke umntu evela kubantu abaphantsi ukuya koopopu belumkisa ngobungozi obusondele kwesi sizukulwana.

Ukanti, kukho isiprofetho eBandleni esiza ukuba ndicinga ukuba bambalwa abasiqonda "njengesiprofeto" ngenxa yeso sizathu sokuba asiyonto imnandi njengamagama asolwayo kwiingozi zebhanki okanye kwimfazwe yehlabathi. Kwaye yile: ukuba UThixo ulungiselela umzuzu wovangelo emhlabeni ngokungafaniyo nantoni na esakhe sayibona. Njengoko uYesu esitsho kwiVangeli yanamhlanje:

… Ekushumayeleni kukaYona baguqukile, kwaye kukho into enkulu kunoYona apha.

Andicebisi ukuba izilumkiso azibalulekanga. Hayi, kunjalo kubalulekile ukuvusa umzimba kaKristu. Kodwa kukho into enkulu apha, kwaye uThixo ulungiselela isivuno esikhulu. “Lithuba lokugqibela,” ungatsho, phambi kokuba uThixo awucoce umhlaba. Ye…

… Intliziyo etyumkileyo ethobekileyo, Thixo, akuyi kuyidela. (INdumiso yanamhlanje)

Isikhuthazo sabaPostile sonyaka ophelileyo sikaPopu uFrancis sisembindini walo myalezo wesiprofeto, ^[1]cf. IVangelii Gaudium, (Uvuyo lweVangeli) “Kwisibhengezo seVangeli Kwilizwe Lanamhlanje” eqhubeka nombono kaJohn Paul II ngoku "kushumayela ngokutsha" okwangoku. UFrancis uyaqonda ukuba siphakathi 'kotshintsho lwe-epochal', ^[2]IVangelii Gaudium, n. I-52 kodwa elona gama liphambili lelo lokubuyela embindini wobufundisi beCawa, obukukuhambisa ivangeli-yiyo loo nto isizathu sokubhalwa kwam kwezi nyanga zidlulileyo sijolise ngqo ekubeni ngamangqina anyanisekileyo: amadoda nabafazi abangcwele. Kuba kumnyama ngakumbi, amaKristu okwenyani aqaqambileyo aya kuba nxamnye nemva kobubi. Yeyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu ukuba uyiqonde namhlanje- hayi umhla wale siganeko. 

Kule meko, uBenedict XVI usete ithoni elungileyo:

… Kufuneka igcinwe engqondweni ukuba isiprofetho ngokwebhayibhile asithethi ukuxela kwangaphambili ikamva kodwa kukuchaza ukuthanda kukaThixo okwangoku, kwaye ngenxa yoko kubonise indlela eyiyo yokuyithatha kwikamva. —UKhadinali Ratzinger (UPAPA BENEDICT XVI), Umyalezo kaFatima, INkcazo yeTheological, www.vatican.va

Uthe uThixo akubona ngezenzo zabo ukuba babuye ezindleleni zabo ezimbi, wazohlwaya ngenxa yobubi abethe uya kubenza kubo; khange ayenze. (Ufundo lokuqala)
