Uma nigcina imiyalo yami, niyakuhlala othandweni lwami, njengalokho nami ngigcinile imiyalo kaBaba ngihlala othandweni lwakhe. (Johane 15:10)

Wonke umlando wensindiso umane uthi: UNkulunkulu ubiza abantu Bakhe ukuba bamlalele ukuze babe nobudlelwano Naye. ENsimini, Wabizela u-Adamu no-Eva ekulaleleni, kanye noNowa nomndeni wakhe emva kukazamcolo; U-Abrahama, uMose, uDavidi… emva kwesivumelwano ngasinye uNkulunkulu asenza nomuntu, ubamema ukuba bamthande ngokugcina izwi Lakhe. Kungani? Ngoba uthando alusihlanganisi nje kuphela noNkulunkulu, kepha lubonakalisa impilo yakhe nokuba khona kwakhe kumakhelwane wethu — futhi uthando lukhonjiswa emiyalweni.

Manje, Israyeli, yizwa izimiso nezinqumo enginifundisa zona ukuba nizigcine, ukuze niphile. Zigcine ngokucophelela, ngoba ngaleyo ndlela uzonikeza ubufakazi bokuhlakanipha kwakho nokuhlakanipha kwakho ezizweni…

Ngakho-ke, uNkulunkulu ubeka isiteji sesivumelwano esisha nesaphakade ngokubuza, futhi, ukubambisana necebo laKhe losindiso: ukulalela. Futhi Uyithola eNcasakazini uMariya osemncane.

Ukulalela kwakhe kwaba yimbangela yensindiso kuye nakulo lonke uhlanga lwesintu. —USt. U-Irenaeus, U-Adv. haeres. 3, 22, 4: PG 7/1, 959A

Ngokulalela kwakhe, wazidela ukuze agcwaliswe ngoMoya oNgcwele. Futhi ngokuhlanganyela, uMariya noMoya bakhiqizela impilo kaJesu emhlabeni. UJesu-ke, ngo Akhe ukulalela, kuveza umusa osindisayo wezwe, kusishiyela isibonelo okufanele sisilandele.

Yibani nesimo sengqondo esifanayo esikuKristu Jesu, Lowo, nakuba ayesesimweni sikaNkulunkulu, akazange abheke ukulingana noNkulunkulu ngokuthile okuzobanjwa. Kunalokho, wazidela, wathatha isimo sesigqila, eza ngomuntu; futhi wathola umuntu ebukeka, wazithoba, walalela kwaze kwaba sekufeni, yebo, ekufeni esiphambanweni. Ngenxa yalokhu, uNkulunkulu wamphakamisa kakhulu… (Phil 2: 5-9)

Uyayibona iphethini? UMariya, ngokufa kuye ngokwakhe, uletha ukuba khona kukaJesu emhlabeni; UJesu, ngokufa kuye uqobo, uletha insindiso. Sibizelwe ukubalingisa bobabili ukuze silethe impilo nokusindiswa kukaJesu Kristu emhlabeni.

… Noma ngubani olalela futhi afundise le miyalo
uzabizwa ngokuthi mkhulu embusweni wezulu. (IVangeli)

… Ukuze samukele lensindiso, sidinga inhliziyo ethobekile, inhliziyo emnene, inhliziyo elalelayo. Njengaleyo kaMariya. Futhi imodeli yalo mgwaqo oya ensindisweni nguNkulunkulu ofanayo, iNdodana yakhe, ongazange abheke ukulingana noNkulunkulu njengenzuzo engenakushiywa. —UPAPA FRANCIS, iVatican City, eHomily, Mashi 25, 2014
