ISEXWAYISO ESIQINILE
Angifuni ukujezisa isintu esibuhlungu, kodwa ngifisa ukusiphilisa, ngisicindezele kuNhliziyo Yami Enesihe. Ngisebenzisa isijeziso lapho bona bengiphoqa ukuba ngenze njalo… (UJesu, kuSt. Faustina, Idayari,n. 1588)
Lokho okubizwa ngokuthi “ukukhanya konembeza” noma “isexwayiso” kungenzeka kusondele. Kudala ngizwa ukuthi ingahle ifike phakathi kwe inhlekelele enkulu uma kungekho mpendulo yokwehliswa kwezono zalesi sizukulwane; uma kungapheli ukuphela kobubi obusabekayo bokukhipha isisu; ekuhlolweni kwempilo yomuntu “kumalabhorethri” ethu ekwenziweni kabusha kokwakhiwa kabusha komshado nomndeni-isisekelo somphakathi. Ngenkathi uBaba oNgcwele eqhubeka nokusikhuthaza ngama-encyclicals othando nethemba, akufanele siwele ephutheni lokucabanga ukuthi ukubhujiswa kwezimpilo akulutho.
Ngifuna ukwabelana ngamazwi omphefumulo ongaba ngumprofethi wosuku lwethu. Ngaso sonke isiprofetho, kufanele kubonwe ngomkhuleko. Kepha lawa mazwi aqinisekisa okulotshwe kule webhusayithi, nalokho okusolwa ukuthi iNkosi ikusho ngokuphuthuma "kubaprofethi" abaningi namuhla:
Bantu bami, isikhathi sesixwayiso esabikezelwa sesizobonakala maduze. Nginincenge ngesineke, Bantu Bami, kepha baningi kakhulu kini abaqhubeka nokuzinikela ezindleleni zomhlaba. Manje yisikhathi sokuthi unake ngokukhethekile amazwi Ami futhi wamukele labo emindenini yakho ekude kakhulu Nami. Manje yisikhathi sokuthi usukume ufakaze kubo, ngoba baningi abazobanjwa bengazelele. Yamukela lesi sikhathi soshushiso, ngoba bonke abahlekwa usulu nokushushiswa ngenxa Yami bayovuzwa embusweni Wami.
Lesi yisikhathi lapho abathembekile Bami babizelwa khona emthandazweni ojulile. Ngoba ngokuphazima kweso ungabe umi phambi Kwami. Ungathembeli ezintweni zomuntu, kunalokho, thembela entandweni kaBaba wakho waseZulwini, ngoba izindlela zabantu akuzona izindlela zami futhi lo mhlaba uzobekwa emadolweni ngokushesha.
Amen! Ngiqinisile, ngithi kini, ngoba noma ngubani onaka amazwi ami futhi aphilele umbuso uzothola umvuzo omkhulu kunabo bonke kuYise oseZulwini. Ungabi njengendoda eyisiwula elinde ukuba umhlaba uqale ukuzamazama nokuthuthumela, ngoba lapho ungabhujiswa… —Umboni wamaKatolika, “uJennifer”; Amagama Avela KuJesu, iphe. I-183
EZWINI
UDavide waphrofetha nangesikhathi lapho iNkosi izovakashela abantu bayo phakathi kwesilingo esikhulu:
Khona-ke umhlaba wahexa futhi wazamazama; izintaba zazanyazanyiswa phansi kwazo; zadangala ngolaka lwakhe olwesabekayo. Kwaphuma intuthu emakhaleni akhe nomlilo ohangulayo emlonyeni wakhe; amalahle avutha ngokushisa kwawo.
Wehlise amazulu wehla, ifu elimnyama ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe. Wafika esihlalweni sobukhosi phezu kwamakherubi, wandiza ngamaphiko omoya. Wenza ubumnyama baba yisimbozo sakhe, amanzi amnyama amafu, itende lakhe. Ukukhanya kwakhanya phambi kwakhe ngamatshe esichotho nangokubengezela komlilo.
UJehova waduma ezulwini; oPhezukonke makazwakale izwi lakhe. (IHubo 18)
UKristu uyiNkosi yethu, inkosi elungileyo. Izahlulelo zakhe zinesihe ngoba uyasithanda. Kepha ukujeziswa kungancishiswa ngomthandazo nangokuzila. Esitatimendeni esingahlelekile esinikezwe iqembu lamaKatolika aseJalimane ngo-1980, uPapa John Paul ngokusobala wakhuluma, hhayi kangako ngesijeziso somzimba kodwa ngokomoya, yize laba bobabili bengehlukaniswa:
Kufanele sikulungele ukubhekana novivinyo olukhulu esikhathini esizayo esingekude kakhulu; izilingo ezizodinga ukuthi sinikele ngisho nangezimpilo zethu, kanye nesipho esiphelele sobuntu kuKristu nakuKristu. Ngemithandazo yakho neyami, kungenzeka ukunciphisa lolu sizi, kepha akusakwazi ukuluvimba, ngoba kungale ndlela kuphela lapho iSonto lingavuselelwa khona ngempumelelo. Ngempela, kukangaki kwenziwa ukuvuselelwa kweSonto ngegazi? Lesi sikhathi, futhi, ngeke kube ngenye indlela. --Regis Scanlon, Isikhukhula Nomlilo, Ukubuyekezwa Kwasekhaya Nokwelusa, ngo-Ephreli 1994
Futhi masingasho ukuthi nguNkulunkulu osijezisa ngale ndlela; Ngokuphambene nalokho ngabantu uqobo abalungiselela ukujeziswa kwabo. Ngomusa wakhe uNkulunkulu uyasixwayisa futhi usibizele endleleni eyiyo, ebe ehlonipha inkululeko asinike yona; yingakho abantu benesibopho. –Sr. Lucia, omunye wababonisi bakaFatima, encwadini ayibhalele uBaba oNgcwele, ngoMeyi 12, 1982.
Masingene emthandazweni ojulile ka iBastion, ikakhulukazi ekuthandazeleni imiphefumulo eminingi ehlala ilele kuleli hora lokufika. Ukulahlwa nokwahlulelwa makube kude nathi, futhi isibusiso nothando kusondele; isilingo sokubiza phansi ubulungiswa ezitheni zethu esizibonayo sinikeze uzwela, ukuzidela nokubancengela.
Ungadeleli isoni ngoba sonke sinecala. Uma, ngenxa yothando lukaNkulunkulu, umvukela, mkhalele yena. Kungani nimdelela? Delela izono zakhe kodwa umthandazele ukuze ube njengoKristu, ongazange acasulwe yizoni kodwa wazithandazela. Awuboni ukuthi walikhalela kanjani iJerusalema? Ngoba nathi, sikhohliswe uSathane ngaphezu kwesisodwa. Ngakho-ke kungani udelela lowo udeveli, osiklolodelayo sonke, akhohlise njengathi? Kungani, ndoda, usidelela isoni? Ingabe kungenxa yokuthi akafani njengawe? Kepha kwenzekani kubulungiswa bakho kusukela ngesikhathi ongenalo uthando? Kungani ungamlilelanga? Kunalokho, uyamshushisa. Kungokungazi lapho abantu abathile becasuka, bekholelwa ukuthi banokuqonda ezenzweni zezoni. —USaint Isaac waseSyria, indela yekhulu lesi-7
UKUFUNDA OKWENGEZIWE:
- Ukuqonda umehluko phakathi kwentukuthelo kaNkulunkulu neyomuntu: Ulaka lukaNkulunkulu
- Umlayezo Wesihe Saphezulu ngezikhathi zethu… bona: Ingabe Isikhathi Somusa Siyaphela ..? (Ingxenye III)
