Ngiyakholelwa ekuphakameni kwesiphepho esizayo—Isikhathi sezinxushunxushu ezinkulu nokudideka—the iso [yesiphepho] sizodlula ngesintu. Ngokushesha, kuzoba nokuzola okukhulu; izulu lizovuleka, futhi sizobona iLanga likhanya likhanya phezu kwethu. Imisebe yoMusa izokhanyisa izinhliziyo zethu, futhi sonke sizozibona ngendlela uNkulunkulu asibona ngayo. Kuzoba yi isixwayiso, njengoba sizobona imiphefumulo yethu isesimweni sayo sangempela. Kuzoba ngaphezu "kokuvuka". -Amacilongo Esixwayiso, Ingxenye V
Ngemuva kwalokho kubhaliwe, elinye igama lalandelwa ngemuva kwesikhathi esithile, "isithombe" salolo suku:
Usuku Lokuthula.
Ngikholwa ukuthi kungahle kube khona isikhathi emhlabeni — umzuzwana Wesihe — lapho uNkulunkulu ezozibonakalisa ngendlela umhlaba wonke ozoba nethuba lokubona ukuthi ngubani uMdali wabo. Zonke izinto zizoma ndawonye. Ukuhamba kuzophela. Ukubhonga kwemishini kuzophela. Umsindo wengxoxo uzomiswa.
Silence.
Athule futhi Iqiniso.
UMZUZWANA WESIHLA
Mhlawumbe uJesu wakhuluma noSt Faustina ngalolu suku:
Ngaphambi kokuba ngize njengeJaji elilungile, ngiza kuqala njengeNkosi yoMusa. Ngaphambi kokufika kosuku lobulungiswa, kuzonikezwa abantu isibonakaliso emazulwini alolu hlobo:
Konke ukukhanya emazulwini kuzacinywa, kube khona ubumnyama obukhulu emhlabeni wonke. Ngemuva kwalokho uphawu lwesiphambano luzobonakala esibhakabhakeni, futhi kusukela ekuvulekeni lapho izandla nezinyawo zoMsindisi zabethelwe khona kuzophuma izibani ezinkulu ezizokhanyisa umhlaba isikhathi esithile. Lokhu kuzokwenzeka maduze ngaphambi kosuku lokugcina. —Idayari Yesihe Saphezulu, hhayi. 83
Emfihlakalweni yesikhathi samanje, umcimbi onjalo ubizwe ngokuthi “ukukhanya,” futhi waprofethwa ngabesilisa nabesifazane abaningana abangcwele. “Kuyisixwayiso” ukuzibeka ulungile phambi kukaNkulunkulu ngaphambi kokuhlanzwa komhlaba okuzayo.
USt Faustina uchaza ukukhanya okwenzeka kuye:
Ngokuphazima kweso ngabona isimo esiphelele somphefumulo wami njengoba uNkulunkulu asibona. Ngabona kahle konke okungamjabulisi uNkulunkulu. Bengingazi ukuthi iziphambeko ezincane kunazo zonke kuzodingeka zibalwe. Umzuzu onjani! Ngubani ongachaza? Ukuma phambi kweTratu-Holy-God!—USt. UFaustina; Isihe SikaNkulunkulu Somphefumlo Wami, Idayari
Ngimemezele usuku olukhulu… lapho iJaji elibi lizoveza khona bonke onembeza babantu futhi lizame wonke umuntu wenkolo ngayinye. Lolu wusuku lwezinguquko, lolu wusuku olukhulu engilusongele, lukhululekile enhlalakahleni, futhi luyesabeka kubo bonke abahlubuki. —USt. I-Edmund Campion, Ukuqoqwa Okuphelele Kwezilingo ZikaCobett…, Umq. I, k. 1063.
Ubusisiwe u-Anna Maria Taigi (1769-1837), owaziwa ngemibono yakhe enembile ngokumangazayo, naye wakhuluma ngomcimbi onjalo.
Uveze ukuthi lokhu kukhanya kukanembeza kuzoholela ekusindisweni kwemiphefumulo eminingi ngoba abaningi bazophenduka ngenxa yalesi "sixwayiso"… lesi simangaliso "sokuzikhanyisela." —Fr. UJoseph Iannuzzi ku Umphikukristu Nezikhathi Zokugcina, Ikhasi 36
Futhi muva nje, uMaria Esperanza oyindida (1928-2004) uthe,
Onembeza balaba bantu abathandekayo kumele bazanyazanyiswe ngodlame ukuze “bakwazi ukulungisa izindlu zabo”… Umzuzu omkhulu usondele, usuku olukhulu lokukhanya… yihora lesinqumo lesintu. -Ibid, P. 37 (Volumne 15-n.2, Article efakiwe evela ku-www.sign.org)
IHORA LESINQUMO
Kuzoba yihora lesinqumo lapho umphefumulo ngamunye kufanele ukhethe ukuthi wamukela uJesu Kristu njengeNkosi yabo bonke noMsindisi wesintu esonayo… siletha impucuko onqenqemeni lwesiphithiphithi. Lo mzuzu woMusa uzokhanya phezu kwe- umgwaqo woMphongolo (bheka Ukuqonda Ukuphuthuma Kwezikhathi Zethu) ngaphambi kokuba kuvalwe umnyango wawo neso lesiphepho liqhubeke.
Isikhathi esinje somusa ofana nalona senzeka eTestamenteni Elisha… phakathi noshushiso.
Lapho [uPawulu] esondela eDamaseku, ngokungazelelwe ukukhanya okuvela esibhakabhakeni kwavele kwamzungeza. Wawa phansi, wezwa izwi lithi kuye: “Sawulu, Sawulu, ungizingelelani na?” Wathi, “Ungubani, mnumzane?” Impendulo yafika yathi, “NginguJesu omshushisayo wena”… izinto ezifana nezikali zawa emehlweni akhe waphinde wabona. Wasukuma wabhapathizwa; wathi esedlile waba namandla. (IzEnzo 9: 3-5, 19)
Nasi isithombe salokho okungenzeka emiphefumulweni eminingi: ukukhanyisa, ulandelwa ngu ukholo kuKristu, ubhaphathizo ukungena noma ukubuyela eSontweni Lakhe, nokwamukela i Umthendeleko “okubuyisa amandla.” Yeka ukunqoba kukaMusa okungaba yikho uma bona kanye abashushisi beBandla bengaphoxwa Uthando!
Kepha umphefumulo ngamunye kumele ukhethe angene eMphongolweni ngaphambi kokuvalwa komnyango… nesivunguvungu siqala kabusha. Ngoba lapho kuzolandela i- nokuhlanzwa bonke ububi emhlabeni, bangenisa isikhathi sokuthula uMphostoli uJohane nabaPhostoli ababiza ngaso, ngokomfanekiso, “iminyaka eyinkulungwane ”kubusa.
Umfundi usanda kungithumelela incwadi emayelana nesipiliyoni asanda kuba naso:
Ngangihamba nenja kadadewethu ebusuku; kwakusebusuku impela, lapho ngokungazelelwe kwaya emini. Kanjalo nje. Into ukuthi, kwakwesabisa. Yabe isibuyela ebusuku. Amadolo ami ayexegezela ngemuva. Ngangimi lapho, njengokuthi "kwakunjani lokho?" Imoto idlule ngaleso sikhathi, bese ngibheka umshayeli sengathi ngithi, “ukubonile lokho?” Ngacishe ngalindela ukuthi umshayeli uzoma bese ebuza into efanayo. Kepha cha, wayelokhu eqhubeka ngemoto edlula. Ukukhanya kwafika kwahamba okomzuzwana, kodwa ngalowo mzuzu kwabonakala kuqhubeka. Kwakungathi “isembozo esikhulu” emhlabeni esasidabuka.
Futhi uma bengingabeka ngamazwi engangikuzwa ngenkathi kwenzeka, njengoba kwenzeka, kungaba yinto enjengale: “Nakhu, nansi iza, iqiniso leli…”
Uma uNkulunkulu ezohlanza umhlaba, njengoba kufakazelwa yimiBhalo namasiko, umcimbi onjalo womusa unengqikithi ekholisayo: impela kuzoba "ithemba lokugcina lensindiso."
SEKUQALILE?
Njengoba nje umuntu engabona iso lesiphepho liza kude, kanjalo nathi kungenzeka ukuthi sibona izimpawu zalo mcimbi ozayo. Abapristi basanda kungitshela ukuthi bonke abantu abangazelelwe abebengekho eSontweni iminyaka engama-20-30 beza kanjani kuVuma; AmaKrestu amaningi avuswe, njengokungathi avela ebuthongweni obukhulu, esenzweni sokwenza impilo yabo ibe lula nokwenza "izindlu zabo zihleleke"; futhi umuzwa wokuphuthuma futhi "okuthile" okusondelayo kusezinhliziyweni zabanye abaningi.
Kuyadingeka ukuthi "sibuke futhi sithandaze." Ngempela, kubonakala sengathi singase sibe ingxenye yokuqala yalesi siphepho uJesu asibiza ngezinhlungu zokubeletha (Luka 21: 10-11; Math 24: 8), ezibonakala ziqina futhi zisondelana (siyaqhubeka nokubona imicimbi engajwayelekile, njengoba ukubhujiswa kwawo wonke amadolobha nemizana, njengoba kwenzekile muva nje ku- EGreensburg, eKansas).
Kumele sikulungele. Abanye abangaqondakali bakukhombisile ukuthi, ngenkathi lokhu kukhanya kungokwemvelo, imiphefumulo esesimweni se isono sokubulala angafa “ngenxa yokwethuka." Akukho ukushaqeka okukhulu ukwedlula lokho kokubhekana noMdali wakho ongcwele ungakulungele, okungenzeka kube yinoma ngubani kithi nganoma yisiphi isikhathi.
Kwangathi 'singaphenduka futhi sikholwe izindaba ezinhle!' Nsuku zonke usuku olusha to qala futhi.
Imiphefumulo ekhethiwe kuzofanele ilwe neNkosana Yobumnyama. Kuzoba isiphepho esesabekayo - cha, hhayi isiphepho, kepha isiphepho esonakalisa yonke into! Ufuna nokuchitha ukholo nokuzethemba kwabakhethiweyo. Ngizohlala ngiseduze kwakho esivunguvungwini manje esisaqala. Ngingunyoko. Ngingakusiza futhi ngifuna ukukwenza! Uzobona yonke indawo ukukhanya kweLangabi Lami Lothando kuphuma njengokuphazima kombani kukhanyise iZulu nomhlaba, futhi engizokhipha ngawo umlilo ngisho nemiphefumulo emnyama nemnyama! Kepha yeka usizi enginalo ngokubona izingane zami eziningi kangaka ziziphonsa esihogweni! —Umlayezo osuka ku-Virgin Mary oBusisiwe waya ku-Elizabeth Kindelmann (1913-1985); yamukelwa nguKhadinali Péter Erdö, isikhulu sase-Hungary
