Ukuguqulwa kukaPaul Paul, nguCaravaggio, c. 1600/01,
LAPHO amagama amathathu engizizwa echaza le mpi yamanje iningi lethu elibhekene nayo: Ukuphazamiseka, Ukudikibala, Nokucindezeleka. Ngizobhala ngalokhu kungekudala. Kepha okokuqala, ngifuna ukuhlanganyela nawe ezinye iziqinisekiso engizitholile.
'INDLELA EZA EKUDAMASKUSI'
Ohambweni lwakhe, njengoba ayesondela eDamaseku, ngokungazelelwe ukukhanya okuvela esibhakabhakeni kwabaneka kuye. Wawa phansi, wezwa izwi lithi kuye: “Sawulu, Sawulu, ungizingelelani na?” Wathi, “Ungubani, mnumzane?” Impendulo yathi, “NginguJesu omzingelayo wena. (IzEnzo 9: 3-5)
Njengoba uSt.Paul ngokuzumayo ebhekene nomzuzu wokukhanyiswa onesihe, kanjalo nami ngikholelwa ukuthi lokhu kungekudala kuzokwehlela isintu. Selokhu kwabhalwa Izimpawu Ezivela Esibhakabhakeni, abafundi abaningana bawuqinisekisile lo mqondo wokuza “ukukhanyisa unembeza. "
Ngikhulume nomunye wozakwethu ngocingo ongenayo ikhompyutha. Ube nokuhlangenwe nakho okulandelayo emthandazweni ngosuku engithumele ngalo Izimpawu Ezivela Esibhakabhakeni:
Ngangithandaza lapho ngokuzumayo ngibona okwakubukeka ngathi ngumkhonto ophakanyiswayo, kwase kuthi ngqá ukukhanya okuvela kimi. Okwesikhashana, ngaqala ukubona ukuba kwami nesono… kwase kuthi lokhu “kukhanya” kuma, ngezwa ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu. Nganginomqondo wokuthi kwakuseza okuningi, hhayi okwami kuphela, kodwa umhlaba wonke.
Iyavumelana le ngqikithi "yomgibeli wehhashi elimhlophe" "nomkhonto." Kusuka kumfundi:
Ekuseni ngovivi lwangoNovemba 3, ngibe nephupho elifushane ngale ndlela: Kwakukhona amafreyimu amaningana ezithombe emgqeni, onjengomugqa wamahlaya. Isithombe kuhlaka ngalunye sasilungile futhi ngasinye siveza ihhashi nomgibeli. Umgibeli wayephethe umkhonto futhi wabonakala kuhlaka ngalunye ngokuma okuhlukile, kepha njalo sengathi usempini.
Futhi kusuka komunye umfundi ophuphe iphupho elifanayo ngobusuku obufanayo:
NgoMgqibelo ebusuku, phakathi nobusuku, ngavuka futhi ngabona ukuba khona kukaJesu eHhashini Elimhlophe, Inkazimulo Yakhe namandla aKhe ayemangalisa. Wabe esengikhumbuza ukuthi ngifunde iHubo 45: Ingoma Yomshado Wasebukhosini, engingakwazi nokufunda imizwa eyizwa enhliziyweni yami!
Bhinca inkemba yakho okhalweni, qhawe elinamandla! Ebukhazikhazini nasebukhosini gibela ngokunqoba! Ukuze ulwele iqiniso nobulungisa kwangathi isandla sakho sokunene singakubonisa izenzo ezimangalisayo. Imicibisholo yakho ibukhali; izizwe ziyokwesaba ngasezinyaweni zakho; izitha zenkosi ziyakuphela amandla. (IHubo 45: 4-6)
Lo mama ulandisa ngesipiliyoni sendodana yakhe ezinyangeni eziyisithupha ezedlule:
Ngolunye usuku ekuseni ngangizihlalele embhedeni wami ngithandaza lapho indodana yami ingena yahlala isikhashana nami. Ngabuza ukuthi ngabe uyaphila yini, wathi yebo (kwakungeyona inkambiso yakhe ukungena egumbini lami angibone ngaphambi kokudla isidlo sasekuseni.) Wayebonakala ethule kakhulu.
Kamuva ngalolo suku, bengikade ngicabanga ukuthi ngizoyitshela nini futhi nini indodana yami njengoba ikhula mayelana izibonakaliso zezikhathi. Ngesinye isikhathi ngosuku, indodana yami yafika yangitshela ukuthi yayinephupho elixakile. Ungitshele ephusheni lakhe yena wabona umphefumulo wakhe. Uthe bekunzima kakhulu futhi uthe uma evuka wethuka kakhulu wangabe esakwazi ukuvuka embhedeni ngenxa yokwesaba ukona! Yingakho angena ekamelweni lami — kepha wayengakulungele ukungitshela ngakho ngaleso sikhathi. Noma kunjalo sakuxoxa isikhashana, ngase ngibona sengathi uNkulunkulu ubengitshela ukuthi ngingakhathazeki ngokutshela izingane zami ngezinto ezizayo, ukuthi Yena, Ngokwakhe uzobalungiselela futhi azinakekele inqobo nje uma ngizoqhubeka nokuzihola kuyena.
SEKUQALILE
Ngikholwa ukuthi “isexwayiso” sesiqalile imiphefumulo eminingi. Ngizwile kaninginingi ukuthi esikholwa nabo babhekana kanjani nezilingo ezibuhlungu nezinzima kakhulu. Ngesihe sikaNkulunkulu, labo abebephendula i izibonakaliso zezikhathi ngiyakholelwa, ngingena ezivivinyweni eziveza izinqaba zangaphakathi nezakhiwo ezinesono ezidinga ukuhlanzwa. Kubuhlungu. Kepha kuhle. Kungcono ukuthi lezi zinto ziphume manje, kancane kancane, ukwedlula zonke ngasikhathi sinye lapho kufika isexwayiso sangempela noma "Usuku Lokukhanya". Kungcono ukuthi indlu ilungiswe igumbi ngakamelo kunokuba yonke indlu idilizwe ukuze yakhiwe kabusha.
Onembeza balaba bantu abathandekayo kumele bazanyazanyiswe ngodlame ukuze “bakwazi ukulungisa izindlu zabo”… Umzuzu omkhulu usondele, usuku olukhulu lokukhanya… yihora lesinqumo lesintu. —UMaria Esperanza, oyimfihlakalo; (1928-2004), kucashunwe ku- Umphikukristu Nezikhathi Zokugcina, P. 37, uFr. UJoseph Iannuzzi; (Ref: IVolumne 15-n.2, I-Article efakiwe evela ku-www.sign.org)
