FEAST OF ST ST. UMATHEWU, UMPHOSTOLI NOMVANGELI
KWANSUKU ZONKE, amakhishi esobho, kungaba ematendeni noma ezindlini zangaphakathi zedolobha, noma e-Afrika noma eNew York, avulekele ukunikeza insindiso edliwayo: isobho, isinkwa, futhi kwesinye isikhathi i-dessert encane.
Bambalwa abantu abaqaphela, noma kunjalo, ukuthi nsuku zonke ku- 3pm, kuvulwa "ikhishi lesobho elingcwele" lapho kuthulula khona umusa wasezulwini ukondla abampofu ngokomoya emhlabeni wethu.
Abaningi bethu banamalungu omndeni azulazula emigwaqweni engaphakathi yezinhliziyo zabo, balambile, bakhathele futhi bayabanda — babanda kakhulu ebusika besono. Eqinisweni, lokho kuchaza iningi lethu. Kepha, lapho is indawo ongaya kuyo…
UNkulunkulu, ngesihe saKhe, esebubonile ubumpofu obungavamile ngokwasemoyeni balesi sikhathi, usinikeze usizo nsuku zonke, ikakhulukazi ihora elilodwa e 3pm (ihora uJesu afa ngalo esiphambanweni), lapho singasondela kuYe ukuthola umusa ongavamile kithi nakwabathandekayo bethu. Lokhu sikwenza ngokusebenzisa i- I-Divine Mercy Chaplet—Umkhuleko olula kodwa onamandla onxusa uBaba ukuthi abeke isipuni sesobho sikaMercy ezindebeni zesoni.
Lesi bekuyisithembiso sikaNkulunkulu kuSt Faustina owathola lokhu kuzinikela ngekhulu elidlule:
O, yimiphi imiusa emikhulu engizoyinikeza imiphefumulo esho le ncwajana: kona kanye ukujula komusa Wami wesisa kuyashukunyiswa ngenxa yalabo abathi i-chaplet. Bhala la mazwi, ndodakazi yami. Khuluma nomhlaba ngomusa Wami; sonke isintu asibonise umusa Wami ongenakulinganiswa. Kuyisibonakaliso sezikhathi zokugcina; emva kwalo luzofika usuku lobulungiswa. Ngenkathi isikhathi sisekhona mabasebenzise ifonti yesihe Sami; mabazuze ngeGazi naManzi okuphume kubo.
Ngehora lesithathu o, ncenga umusa Wami, ikakhulukazi izoni; futhi uma kungomzuzwana nje, cwilisa uMdlandla Wami, ikakhulukazi ekulahlweni Kwami ngesikhathi sobuhlungu: Leli yihora lomusa omkhulu womhlaba wonke. Ngizokuvumela ukuba ungene osizini Lwami lokufa. Kulelihora, ngeke ngenqabe lutho emphefumulweni olwenza isicelo Sami ngenxa Yentshiseko Yami. -Idayari kaSt. Faustina, II (229) 848
Ngabe kuzwakala kukuhle ukuba yiqiniso? Singamkhawulela uNkulunkulu, noma singaqala ukusho lo mthandazo ngokuthembela, ngokungahambi kahle noma ngendlela engathandeki. Kubaluleke kakhulu, ukuthi uPapa John Paul II wezwa ukusakazwa kwalokhu kuzinikela kungumsebenzi oyinhloko wobupapa bakhe!
Kusukela ekuqaleni kwenkonzo yami eSt Peter's See eRoma, ngithatha lo mlayezo [we-Divine Mercy] njengomsebenzi wami okhethekile. U-Providence unginikeze kulesi simo esikhona manje somuntu, iSonto kanye nomhlaba. Kungashiwo ukuthi lesi simo sinikeze lowo mlayezo kimi njengomsebenzi wami phambi kukaNkulunkulu. —JPII, Novemba 22, 1981 e Shrine of Isihe Uthando eCollevalenza, e-Italy
