INDLELA YOKWESABA
Njengoba ngibhala Ukuhlakazeka Okukhulu, izitha zeBandla ziyakhula, amathoshi abo akhanyiswe ngamazwi aphenduphendukayo naphambene njengoba beqala ukumasha bengena eNsimini yaseGetsemane. Isilingo ukugijima — ukugwema izingxabano, ukubalekela ukukhuluma iqiniso, nokufihla ngisho nokuthi singamaKristu.
Bamshiya bonke, babaleka… (Marku 14:50)
Yebo, kulula kakhulu ukufihla ngemuva kwezihlahla zokubekezelelana noma amaqabunga okunethezeka. Noma ulahlekelwe ukholo ngokuphelele.
Insizwa ethile yamlandela ingagqokile lutho ngaphandle kwendwangu yelineni emzimbeni wayo. Bambamba, kodwa yena washiya indwangu ngemuva wabaleka enqunu. (v. 52)
Futhi abanye bazolandela kude — baze bacindezelwe.
Ngaleso sikhathi waqala ukuthuka nokufunga, "Angimazi lo muntu." Masinyane lakhala iqhude… (Math 26:74)
INDLELA YOTHANDO
UJesu usikhombisa enye indlela. Ngokukhashelwa Kwakhe, Uyaqala ukweqisa Izitha zakhe nge uthando.
Uzwakalisa ukudabuka kwakhe kunokukhuza njengoba uJuda eqabula isihlathi saKhe.
UJesu uphulukisa indlebe ebinqunywe kunogada wompristi omkhulu — elinye lamasosha athunyelwe ukumbamba.
UJesu uphendulela esinye isihlathi lapho abapristi abakhulu bemshaya ngempama futhi bemkhafulela.
Akazivikeli phambi kukaPilatu, kepha uyehlisa igunya lakhe.
UJesu unxusa uMusa kubabulali bakhe, "Baba, bathethelele…"
Ngenkathi ethwele zona kanye izono zesigebengu esiphambanwe eceleni Kwakhe, uJesu uthembisa isela elihle iPharadesi.
Ukuqondisa yonke inqubo yokubethelwa kungukhulu. Lapho ebona impendulo kaJesu kuzo zonke izitha zakhe, uthi, "Ngempela lomuntu wayeyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu."
UJesu wamnqoba ngothando.
Yile ndlela iSonto elizokhanya ngayo. Ngeke kube namapheshana, izincwadi, nezinhlelo ezihlakaniphile. Kuzoba njalo, ngobungcwele bothando.
Abantu abangcwele bodwa abangavuselela ubuntu. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, eVatican City, Agasti 27, 2004

Njengoba izahlulelo namanga zikhuphuka, kufanele siqede abahlambalazi bethu ukuthethelelwa. Futhi njengoba udlame nonya luchitheka emhlabathini wethu, kufanele sibacindezele abashushisi bethu isihe.

Noma ubani othi uhlala kuJesu kufanele aphile njengaye ... thanda izitha zakho, wenze okuhle kulabo abakuzondayo, ubusise abakuqalekisayo, ubathandazele labo abakuphatha kabi. (1 Johane 2: 6, Luka 6: 27-28)
Isihe ingubo yokukhanya iNkosi esinikeze yona ekuBhabhathizweni. Akufanele sivumele lokhu kukhanya kucishwe; kunalokho, kufanele ikhule ngaphakathi kwethu nsuku zonke futhi ngaleyo ndlela ilethe emhlabeni izindaba ezinhle zikaNkulunkulu. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Easter Homily, Ephreli 15, 2007
