TWO ezinsukwini ezedlule, ngabhala ngothingo lwenkosazana lukaNowa — uphawu lukaKristu, ukuKhanya komhlaba (bheka Isibonakaliso Sesivumelwano.) Kunengxenye yesibili kuyo nokho, eyafika kimi eminyakeni eminingana eyedlule ngenkathi ngiseMadonna House eCombermere, e-Ontario.
Lolu thingo lufinyelela umvuthwandaba futhi lube yimisebe eyodwa yokuKhanya okukhanyayo okuhlala iminyaka engama-33, eminyakeni engaba ngu-2000 eyedlule, kuJesu Kristu. Njengoba kudlula eSiphambanweni, ukuKhanya kuhlukaniseka ngemibala eyizinkulungwane futhi. Kepha kulokhu, uthingo alukhanyisi isibhakabhaka kepha izinhliziyo zesintu.
Umbala ngamunye obonakalayo we-spectrum umele omunye wabaNgcwele abakhulu, njengoLiseux, Avila, noma uFrancis wase-Assisi. Yimibalabala emihle, ejulile, ehlabayo edonsa ukunaka kwethu futhi isenze simangale. Ziyizimpilo eziveza ukuKhanya Kwezwe ngezindlela ezingavamile nezibonakalayo.
Kuyalinga ukubona laba Bangcwele, ukucaca kanye nokukhanga kobungcwele babo, futhi sizizwe sifiphele kakhulu futhi singabalulekile. Kodwa kuthiwani uma umhlaba wonke wawupendwe ngokukhanya okubomvu kwe-Avila? Noma kuthiwani uma yonke into ibifakwe ngombala oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka noma ophuzi weFaustina noma wePio? Ngokungazelelwe, kwakungeke kube khona umehluko, izinhlobonhlobo, ubuhle obuncane. Konke kuzofana.
Ngakho-ke, ngandlela thize, ukukhanya okubaluleke kakhulu kulula ukukhanya okuvamile esiphila ngayo sonke. Yiqiniso, ukuphila kwethu kungase kuhilele ukugeza izitsha, ukushanela, ukunakekela imisebenzi yethu, noma ukupheka ukudla. Akukho okungaqondakali lapho.
Kodwa lena kwakuyimpilo kaMariya impela, uMama kaJesu-futhi ungoNgcwele ohlonishwa kakhulu eBandleni.
Kungani? Ngoba intando nenhliziyo yakhe kwakumsulwa, ngaleyo ndlela kuvumele ukuKhanya kukaKristu okumsulwa nokuphelele ukuthi kuvele ngaphakathi kuye—ngaleso sikhathi namanje.
