THE Ukuqhuma kokwahlukana, uqhawulo-mtshato, kunye nobundlobongela kulo nyaka uphelileyo kuyamangalisa.
Iileta endizifumeneyo zemitshato yamaKristu ziyawohloka, abantwana belahla iingcambu zabo zokuziphatha, amalungu osapho athe aphambuka elukholweni, abatshatileyo kunye nabantakwenu ababanjwe ngamakhoboka, kunye nomsindo owothusayo nowantlukwano phakathi kwezihlobo kubuhlungu.
Xa nithe neva iimfazwe namarhe eemfazwe, musani kuba navuso; oku kufuneka kwenzeke, kodwa isiphelo asikabikho. (Phawula 13: 7)
Ziqala phi iimfazwe nokwahlukana, kodwa entliziyweni yomntu? Zifukama phi, kodwa kusapho (ukuba uThixo akekho)? Kwaye ekugqibeleni bavela phi, kodwa eluntwini? Abaninzi bayazibuza ukuba kwenzeka njani ukuba ilizwe lifike kwindawo eyoyikekayo nenesithukuthezi. Kwaye ndithi, jonga emva esangweni esingene ngalo.
Ikamva lehlabathi lidlula kusapho. —UPopu John Paul II, Familiaris Consortium
Khange siyigalele ioyile ngesango ngomthandazo. Khange siyijikele ngothando. Kwaye asiphumelelanga ukuyipeyinta ngesidima. Nguwuphi owona mbambano mkhulu kwizizwe zethu namhlanje? Oorhulumente bethu bakhohlisiwe bakholelwa ekubeni kukhathalelo lwempilo kwindalo iphela, uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali olulinganiselweyo, kunye neenkqubo zentlalo ezihlawulelweyo. Kodwa bayaphazama. Ikamva loluntu lwethu kukhuselwa kwimpilo yosapho. Xa usapho lukhohlela, uluntu lubanjwa yingqele. Xa iintsapho ziqhekeka….
Kungoko, kungekudala ngaphambi kokuba asweleke, ejonge kwiindawo ezinkulu zoluntu nalapho lalisiya khona, uPopu John Paul II wabhala ileta wayibhalela iCawe… hayi, waphosa umtya wokuya eCaweni ngenxa yelizwe — indlela yokuphila yenziwe ngeetyathanga kunye neentsimbi: iRosari.
Imiceli mngeni emikhulu ejongene nehlabathi ekuqaleni kwale Millennium intsha isikhokelela ekucingeni ukuba kuphela ngongenelelo oluvela phezulu, olunakho ukukhokela iintliziyo zabo bahlala kwiimeko zongquzulwano kunye nabo balawula ukupheliswa kweentlanga, abanokunika isizathu sethemba ngekamva eliqaqambileyo.
Namhlanje ndibeka ngokuzithandela kumandla alo mthandazo… unobangela woxolo emhlabeni kunye nosapho. —UPopu John Paul II, IRosarium Virginis Mariae, engama-40
Ngentliziyo yam yonke ndiyakhala kuwe: thandaza iRosari namhlanje usapho lwakho! Thandaza iRosari kwiqabane lakho elinomlutha! Thandazela iRosari ukuba abantwana bakho abangasekhoyo! Ngaba uyalibona ikhonkco likaBawo oyiNgcwele phakathi Uxolo kwaye i usapho, leyo ekugqibeleni, yiyo uxolo emhlabeni?
Eli asiloxesha lezizathu. Lincinci kakhulu ixesha lezizathu. Lixesha lokususa iintaba ngokholo lwethu lwesayizi lwemostade. Mamela ubungqina bukaBawo oyiNgcwele:
ICawe ibisoloko ichaza ukusebenza kwalo mthandazo, ibeka iRosari… ezona ngxaki zinzima. Ngamaxesha apho ubuKrestu ngokwabo babubonakala busemngciphekweni, ukuhlangulwa kwabo kwakubangelwa ngamandla alo mthandazo, kwaye uMama wethu weRosari wabhengezwa njengalowo ukuthethelelwa kwakhe kuzisa usindiso. -Ibid. 39
Ukuba awukakholwa ukuba lo mfazi—iNtombikazi enguMariyaUnakho ukukhulula usapho lwakho kwimixokelelwane yobubi, vumela iSibhalo esingcwele sikuqinisekise:
Ndiya kubeka ubutshaba phakathi kwakho (Sathana) nomfazi, nembewu yakho, nembewu yakhe; yona iya kukutyumza intloko, wena uya kumlalela isithende. (IGenesis 3:15; iDouay-Rheims)
Ukususela kwasekuqalekeni, uThixo wamisela ukuba uEva — noMariya nguEva oMtsha — babe nenxaxheba ekutyumzeni intloko yotshaba, banyathele inyoka ewela kwiintsapho zethu nakubudlelwane — ukuba siyammema.
Uphi uYesu kule nto? IRosari ngumthandazo othi ucinga ngoKristu ngeli xesha kwangaxeshanye sicela uMama wethu ukuba asithethelele. ILizwi likaThixo kunye nesibeleko sikaThixo sithandaza, simanya, sikhusela kwaye sisikelela sonke ngaxeshanye. Amandla anikwe lo Mfazi eza ngokuchanekileyo Emnqamlezweni apho uSathana woyiswayo. IRosari ngumnqamlezo osetyenzisiweyo. Lo mthandazo awuyiyo enye into ngaphandle kwesiqulatho "seVangeli", esiliLizwi likaThixo, onguYesu Krestu. Uyile ntliziyo yalo mthandazo! Haleluya!
Irosari, a "Ukucamngca kunye noChristocentric umthandazo, engenakwahlulwa ngokucamngca kweZibhalo ezingcwele," is "umthandazo womKrestu oqhubela phambili kuhambo lokholo, ekulandeleni uYesu, eyandulelwa nguMariya." —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, uCastel Gandolfo, e-Itali, ngo-Oktobha 1, 2006; IZENIT
Thandaza iRosari-kwaye isithende sikaMama siwe.
Ngamana esi sibheno sam asingekhe siviwe! —Ibhidi. 43
Kodwa yazi oku: kuya kubakho amaxesha ayoyikeka ngemihla yokugqibela. Abantu baya kuba ngabazithandayo nabathandi bemali, abanekratshi, abanekratshi, abakhohlakeleyo, abangathobeli bazali babo, abangenambulelo, abangenankolo, abangenabubele, abangenatarhabaxa, abanyolukileyo, abakhohlakeleyo, abathiye okulungileyo, abancethezi, izityhuthutyhuthu, abathiwe lwale likratshi, abathandi beziyolo. kunokuba bathande uThixo… (2 Tim 3: 1-4)
