Umxhumanisi Kazwelonke Ongasekho
Wenhlangano Yomhlaba Wonke Yelangabi Lothando
Wenhliziyo Engaphelele kaMariya
"KANJANI ungangisiza ngisabalalise umyalezo woMama Wethu? ”
Lawo ngamanye amagama okuqala u-Anthony (“Tony”) Mullen awakhuluma nami eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-XNUMX edlule. Ngangicabanga ukuthi umbuzo wakhe wawunesibindi esincane ngoba angikaze ngizwe ngomboni waseHungary u-Elizabeth Kindelmann. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngangihlala ngithola izicelo zokukhuthaza ukuzinikela okuthile, noma umbono othile. Kepha ngaphandle kokuthi uMoya oNgcwele ukubeke enhliziyweni yami, bengingeke ngibhale ngakho.
Ngaphendula, “Kunzima kimi ukuthi ngichaze, uyabona, akunjalo my ibhulogi. NgeleNkosikazi Yethu. Ngingumthunywa nje. Kuqabukela ngikwazi ukuveza eyami siqu imicabango ingasaphathwa eyabanye. Ingabe lokho kunengqondo? ”
Amagama ami abonakala ehla ngaphansi kwesimo sikaTony. "Ungamane ufunde le milayezo bese ungitshela ukuthi ucabangani?"
“Kulungile,” kusho mina, ngicasuke kancane. “Ungangithumelela ikhophi yale ncwadi?”
UTony wakwenza. Futhi ngenkathi ngifunda imiyalezo evunyelwe iSonto uMama Wethu ayeyinikeze isikhathi esiyiminyaka engama-20 eya ku-Kindelmann, ngabona ngomzuzwana ukuthi bazoba yingxenye IZwi Manje ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele ukhuluma neBandla ngalelihora. Kunemibhalo eminingana lapha, sibonga isibindi sikaTony, ngesipho esingajwayelekile se- "Flame of Love" iZulu elizothululela phezu kwesintu kakhulu, njengokuqala kwe "Pentekoste entsha" (bheka isibonelo: Umphumela Ozayo Womusa futhi Ukuguquka nesibusiso).
NgeLangabi Lothando LweNtombi Ezibusisiwe, ukholo luzogxila emphefumulweni, futhi ubuso bomhlaba buzovuselelwa, ngobaakukaze kwenzeke okunje selokhu iZwi laba yinyama. ” Ukuvuselelwa komhlaba, yize kugcwele izinhlupheko, kuzokwenzeka ngamandla wokuncengela kweNtombi Ezibusisiwe. -Amalangabi Othando Kwenhliziyo KaMariya Ongafanelwe: IDayari Yokomoya (Kindle Edition, Loc. 2898-2899); yamukelwa ngo-2009 nguKhadinali Péter Erdö Cardinal, Primate noMbhishobhi Omkhulu. Qaphela: UPapa Francis wanikeza isibusiso sakhe sobuphostoli phezu kweLangabi Lothando lwe-Immaculate Heart of Mary Movement ngoJuni 19, 2013.
Ngangazi nokuthi uTony uzoba ingxenye yempilo yami. Ezinyangeni naseminyakeni ezayo, besizoshintshana ngezingcingo eziningi nama-imeyili, sikhulume ndawonye ezingqungqutheleni, futhi sihlele amasu wokuthi singasiza kanjani iNkosi yethu noMama wethu ngempumelelo.
Yonke ifoni noma umyalezo wezwi ovela kuTony uqale ngendlela efanayo: “Makadunyiswe uJesu Kristu, futhi malibusiswe iLangabi Lothando Lwenhliziyo Engaphelele kaMariya. Amen? ”
“Amen.”
“Bese-ke siqale ngomkhuleko…” UTony wayefuna ukuthi wonke amagama nezenzo zenziwe ngobukhona bukaJesu, noMama Wethu osezulwini.
Mina ngingumvini, nina ningamagatsha. Ohlala kimi, nami kuye, uyakuthela izithelo eziningi, ngokuba ngaphandle kwami ningenze lutho. (Johane 15: 5)
Noma nini lapho ngangikhuluma noTony ocingweni noma mathupha, noma ngabe sasihamba ngezinyawo noma sishayela, wayehlale ecabanga ngoMbuso kaNkulunkulu. Kwakungakaze kube khona i-chitchat engenzi lutho, futhi wayengeke neze akhulume ngaye — ngaphandle komndeni wakhe nomkakhe, ayemthanda kakhulu futhi amkhumbula ngemuva kokushona kwakhe ngaphambi kwesikhathi eminyakeni emihlanu edlule.
Ngelinye ilanga ngenkathi silungiselela ukukhuluma engqungqutheleni, ngangena egumbini lakhe lokuphumula ngeSonto ntambama, futhi i-TV yayishiyelwe enye yezingane zakhe. Kwakuwumdlalo webhola.
“Uyalibuka ibhola, Tony?”
“Anginankinga ngakho. Kodwa angiyibukeli ngeSonto, hhayi ngosuku lweNkosi. ” Yilolo hlobo nje lomuntu ayeyilo uTony, wayegxile kakhulu ekukhonzeni uJesu nganoma iyiphi indlela ayengayenza futhi ngokuthembeka ngangokunokwenzeka — nokusiza abanye ukuba benze okufanayo. Yize emsebenzini wakhe wokuziphilisa waba ngomunye wochwepheshe abaphambili ekuthuthukiseni amaphrojekthi aphezulu, bekusobala ukuthi uTony wayengaqondile ukuzakhela umbuso wakhe, kodwa owokaKristu.
Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule, ngiqedile ukuthumela umbhalo wami ku-Facebook futhi kwenzeka ukuthi ngibone ukusakazwa bukhoma kukaTony enikeza inkulumo. Ngingene okwemizuzwana embalwa — ngigcina ukuzwa izwi lakhe. Wayekhuluma ngesono se-venial, futhi sivame kangakanani ukuyekethisa "kwabancane". Wayebiza ngobumnene kodwa ngesibindi izilaleli zakhe ekuphendukeni kwangempela. Ngazihlekela ngedwa ngicabanga ukuthi uzwakala kanjani njengoJohn the Baptist, nokuthi uTony ubelokhu eguquguquka kanjani ngokuphila iVangeli selokhu aguquka-enesibindi sokwenza ngqo lokho okucelwa yiZulu. Kepha “u-radical” yilokho okumele sibe yikho sonke.
Wothanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo konke inhliziyo yakho, nge konke umphefumulo wakho, nge konke ingqondo yakho, futhi nge konke amandla akho. (Marku 12:30)
Ngelinye ilanga, uTony wabuye wathi kimi, “Ungangisiza kanjani ekusakazeni umyalezo weNkosikazi Yethu?” Ngamchazela ukuthi ngenza ngendlela yami, futhi futhi, ukuthi iwebhusayithi yami akuyona eyami; nokuthi uma uMama wethu efuna ngikwenze 
ukukhuthaza okungaphezu kwalokho, kuhle, kuzofanele akhulume naye. Sihleke. Kodwa-ke kwafika umcabango kimi: “Tony, kungani ungaqali eyakho siqu ibhulogi? Akunzima kangako. ” Ngimkhombe ngendlela efanele, wasuka wahamba. Ikhambi Laphezulu ifa likaTony online lemicabango ephuthumayo ebivutha enhliziyweni yakhe: indlela yokusiza abanye bakhule ebunyeni noNkulunkulu ngu kuphendula emazwini eZulu.
Futhi bambalwa abaziyo ukuthi uTony usize ukuhlela Ukunqoba KoMbuso KaNkulunkulu Eminyakeni Eyinkulungwane Nangezikhathi Zokuphela nguFr. UJoseph Iannuzzi — incwadi ebaluleke kakhulu ekutholeni ukuqonda okufanele kweSahluko Samashumi Amabili Sencwadi YesAmbulo, kanye "nenkathi yokuthula" ezayo.
Ezinkulumweni zami zeningi, ngivame ukuthi kubantu uMama kaNkulunkulu akabonakali emhlabeni ezophuza itiye nezingane zakhe. Ngicabanga ukuthi bambalwa abayithathe ngokungathi sína kakhulu imiyalezo yokuvela kukaMarian kule minyaka engamakhulu amabili edlule kunoTony. “Kumele siyeke ukukhuluma ngakho nje do lokhu asitshela khona, ”wayevame ukusho. Kwaba yindikimba yezingxoxo zethu eziningi. Wabona kahle ukuthi amazwi eNkosikazi Yethu aye "yikhambi elingokwasezulwini" kulezi zikhathi ezinzima eziya ziba nzima. Ubelokhu esinikeza indlela ebuyela kuJesu, indlela yokuthula… futhi besikade singakunaki lokho.
Kodwa hhayi uTony. Wakwenza lokho ayekushumayela. Wayezila ukudla kathathu ngesonto futhi wayevame ukuvuka ebusuku athandaze. Noma nini lapho sindawonye, sasikhuleka noma sisebenza “emsebenzini weNkosi.” Intshiseko ka-Anthony yaba kimi nakwabanye abaningi isibani esisangulukisayo lapho kwembulwa khona ukushiyeka kwethu nokunganaki. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umuntu ubengambona efaka kuye amazwi eVangeli:
Uma umuntu efisa ukungilandela, makazidele athathe isiphambano sakhe nsuku zonke angilandele. Ngoba loba ngubani othanda ukusindisa impilo yakhe, izamlahlekela, kodwa loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami, uzayisindisa. (Luka 9: 23-24)
UTony wayenjalo ukulahlekelwa impilo yakhe ngenxa kaJesu; uhambo lwakhe, ungasho, kwaba ukubethelwa. Kepha ngoMashi 10th, 2018, yena igcinwe it. Ngalolo suku ekuseni, uTony washayela indodana yakhe ucingo wathi, “Shayela ku-911… ngicabanga ukuthi nginesifo senhliziyo.” Bamthola elele phansi, izingalo zakhe zisakazeke ngokungathi welulelwe esiphambanweni — okuwuphawu, manje, lokuthi lo mzalwane kuKristu wayiphila kanjani impilo yakhe phakathi kwethu: eshiyelwe intando yaphezulu.
Ngangihleli egumbini lehhotela ngifunda i-imeyili evela kuDaniel O'Connor owayebuza ukuthi ngabe ngikuzwile yini ngokudlula emhlabeni kukaTony. Angikukholwanga engikufundayo. Mina noDaniel, uTony besisanda kukhuluma engqungqutheleni ye-Divine Will ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule. Ngibe sengithola umyalezo wezwi ovela kusibali kaTony owayengishayele ucingo ezocobelela izindaba ezibuhlungu.
Sekusele amahora ambalwa adlule emhlabeni, uTony wayengithumelele i-imeyili ecaphuna idayari kaSt Faustina:
Sifisa Ukuthululwa KukaMoya Ongcwele Ukuze Bonke Abantu Bazi UKristu…
"Ngokulangazela okukhulu, ngilindele ukuza kweNkosi. Zinkulu izifiso zami. Ngifisa ukuthi sonke isintu siyazi iNkosi. Ngingathanda ukulungiselela Zonke Izizwe ngokuza kweZwi Elisenyameni. O Jesu, yenza umthombo Wesihe Sakho uphume kakhulu, ngoba isintu sigula kakhulu ngakho-ke sinesidingo esikhulu kunanini ngaphambili somusa Wakho ongapheli. ” [IDayari,n. I-793]
Kungaphakathi nangoMoya oNgcwele kuphela lapho abantu bengaphenduka khona bathi… “uJesu uyiNkosi”… futhi sanikezwa umthandazo wokugcwalisa isifiso sikaSt. Faustina nguMama wethu e-Amsterdam ku-Ida Peerdeman, esivunywa yiSonto: “Nkosi Jesu Kristu, Ndodana kaBaba, thumela manje uMoya wakho phezu komhlaba. Vumela uMoya Oyingcwele uhlale ezinhliziyweni Zazo Zonke Izizwe, ukuze zivikeleke ekonakaleni, enhlekeleleni nasempini. Kwangathi iNenekazi Lazo Zonke Izizwe, iNdlovukazi Ebusisiwe kaMariya, lingaba nguMmeli wethu, Amen! ”
Ngalolo suku, iNkosi yeza ngomfowethu. Izwi likaTony manje selijoyina izixuku ezisezulwini ezimemezayo: UJesu uyiNkosi!
Izolo ebusuku ngemuva kosuku olunzima lokudabuka ngokulahlekelwa ngumngane wami engimthandayo, ngihlale eceleni kombhede wami ngabuka incwadi eyodwa etafuleni lami lasebusuku. Ama-echoes engxoxo abuya eminyakeni eminingana edlule…
“Wake wezwa yini ngencwadi Ukusondelana NoNkulunkulu?”Kubuza uTony.
“Cha, angikakwenzi lokho.”
“Kufanele uyitholile, Maka,” kusho yena. Ngaya ku-inthanethi, futhi okuwukuphela kwekhophi engangiyithola ngaleso sikhathi kwakungaphezu kwama-dollar ayikhulu.
“Anginayo imali yokukhokha, Tony.”
"Ayikho inkinga. Ngizokuthumelela eyodwa. ”
Leyo kwakuyinhliziyo nje uTony ayenayo. Eqinisweni, ngosuku adlula ngalo emhlabeni, wayezongeniswa "eHholo Lodumo" lesikole samabanga aphezulu sendawo ngenxa yezenzo zakhe zosizo. Lokho akuzange kungimangaze. Ukuphana kukaTony kimi nakwabanye kwaziwa abaningi eMzimbeni kaKristu. Wanika, waphana, waphinde wanika abanye….
Ngidonse umoya, ngiphakamise Ukusondelana Kwaphezulu kusuka endaweni yami yasebusuku, futhi wavula ngokungakhethi ukuthi ifundwe ngeSonto lePentekoste.
O Moya oNgcwele, Uthando olukhulu lukaYise neleNdodana, Uthando olungadalwanga oluhlala emiphefumulweni yabalungileyo, yehlela kimi njengePentekoste elisha ungilethele izipho zakho eziningi, izithelo zakho, nomusa Wakho; uzihlanganise nami njengoMlingani omnandi kakhulu emphefumulweni wami.
Ngizinikela ngokuphelele Kuwe; ngihlasele, ngithathe, ungidle ifa ngokuphelele. Yiba ukukhanya okungenayo okukhanyisa ukuqonda kwami, ukunyakaza okuncane okuheha futhi kuqondise intando yami, amandla angaphezu kwavamile anika amandla emzimbeni wami. Qedela kimi umsebenzi Wakho wokungcweliswa nothando. Ngenze ngibe msulwa, ngibonakalise izinto, ngibe lula, ngibe neqiniso, ngikhululeke, ngibe nokuthula, ngibe nobumnene, ngithule, ngithule ngisho nasekuhluphekeni, futhi ngishiswe ngothando lwami ngakuNkulunkulu nomakhelwane.
Ukuqhamuka kwezimoto zakho kanye ne-flammam aeternae caritatis, thungela kimi umlilo wothando lwakho nelangabi lomusa waphakade.
UTony wayeyifunde kaningi leyoncwadi futhi wayezithandazele la mazwi. Bambalwa abangasho ukuthi nabo baphila ngakho.
Mfowethu, manje usuyilangabi laphakade leNhliziyo Engabonakali kaMariya, njengoba uvutha ngokugqamile enhliziyweni kaKristu. Sikhulekele.
Ngesikhathi umndeni ubuthene kwaTony ngemuva kokudlula kwakhe, bathola ikesi elide lokhuni. Ngaphakathi, kwakukhona lesi sithombe seNkosikazi Yethu esasibizwe nguTony. Ngiyamkhumbula engitshela ukuthi wayejabule kanjani ngakho.
Ngokwazi kwami, akakaze akubone.
Akasadingeki.
