Njengowesifazane osezakubeletha, ekhala ngezinhlungu zakhe, sinjalo ebusweni bakho, Jehova. Sakhulelwa, saphatheka kabuhlungu, sazala umoya… (Isaya 26: 17-18)
… I imimoya yoshintsho.
ON lokhu, usuku olwandulela umkhosi weNkosikazi Yethu yaseGuadalupe, sibheke kuye oyiNkanyezi Yokushunyayelwa Kwevangeli okusha. Umhlaba ngokwawo ungene ngosuku olwandulela Ukushunyayelwa Kwevangeli okusha osekuqale ngezindlela eziningi. Futhi-ke, lesi sikhathi esisha sentwasahlobo eBandleni ngesinye esingeke sifezeke ngokugcwele kuze kube yilapho ubunzima bebusika buphelile. Ngalokhu, ngiqonde ukuthi, sinjalo ngosuku olwandulela ukujeziswa okukhulu.
NGOBUSUKU BOKUSHINTSHA
Abaningi benu babhale phakathi neminyaka emithathu edlule, bavuswa uMoya kaNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zenu. Nizabalaza njengoba ngenza ngezexwayiso eziqinile eziye zakhishwa phezu komnsalo weBandla izikhathi eziningi. Abantu bezizwe ezazingamaKristu ngeke baphikelele lokhu kuhlubuka ngaphandle kwesandla sikaNkulunkulu esihawukelayo esenza ngokulunga. Kungani ubheka emhlabeni ngefasitela? Ngempela, ubona ubugebengu obubi yonke indawo. Ubuso bomhlaba abubonakali nakancane njengoba umuntu esethathe uhambo lokuhlola impilo ngisho nokhokho bakhe ababekhululekile ababengalubuka ngokwesaba. Umthetho wemvelo uye wavumela okungekhona okwemvelo; okuhle manje sekubizwa ngobubi. Kodwa njengoba uKristu, ebethelwe esiphambanweni futhi ezinhliziyweni zethu, ebuka umhlaba, akakhulumi amazwi afanayo nawenza eGolgotha?
Baba, bathethelele. Abakwazi abakwenzayo!
Kodwa okufanayo akunakushiwo ngeBandla Lakhe ayelifundise iminyaka eyinkulungwane ezimbili, wabumba, futhi waphefumulela uMoya Wakhe phezu kwabo. Uma umhlaba ulahlekile namuhla, kungenxa yokuthi iBandla Lakhe ezizweni eziningi selilahlekile, lingalaleli, lizulazula futhi alizimisele. Ngokuba uMzimba kaKristu futhi uyiNkanyezi ephume emhlabeni ukuze iqondise izizwe eNhliziyweni eNgcwele kaJesu. Kodwa yini lena esiyibonayo! Kuyini lokhu kuhlubuka phakathi kwakhe! Iyini le nkohlakalo efinyelele ezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu?
INkosi ayikhali yini kithi:
Bandla laMi, Bandla laMi! Akwazeki. Ngisho nezingane zami eziyigugu zilahlekelwe ubumsulwa bazo! Uwele kude kangakanani othandweni lwakho lokuqala! Baphi ababhishobhi bami? Baphi abefundisi bami? Likuphi izwi leqiniso eliphakanyiswa ngokumelene nokubhonga kwengonyama? Kuthuleleni lokhu? Usukhohliwe ukuthi kungani ukhona; kungani iBandla lami likhona? Ingabe ukusindiswa kwezwe, kwemiphefumulo elahlekile, akuseyona inkanuko yakho? Kuyisifiso Sami. Kuyisihawu saMi—iGazi namanzi engiwachithile, futhi namuhla ngiwachitha phezu kwama-altare enu. Usukhohliwe uMphathi wakho? Usukhohliwe yini ukuthi akukho nceku enkulu kunenkosi yayo? Awubizelwanga yini ukuthi unikele ngokuphila kwakho ngenxa yezimvu zakho, ngenxa Yami, ngenxa yomsebenzi engakunika wona eminyakeni eyizi-2000 edlule? Awuzibali izindleko? Yebo, izimpilo zenu kanye! Futhi uma ubalondoloza ngenxa yakho, uzolahlekelwa yibo. Futhi ngaleyondlela sesifikile eHoreni eliKhulu engilibikezele kusukela ekuqaleni kwesikhathi! Ihora Lokukhetha. Ihora Lesinqumo. Ihora legazi, nenkazimulo, nokulunga, nesihawu. KUYIHORA! KUYIHORA!
Mina ngokwami, njengomshumayeli wevangeli, ngizabalaze kanzima, ngivame ukuthulisa amazwi engivame ukunikelwa ngawo ukuwakhuluma. Ngifuna ukukhala ukuthula! Kodwa engikubonayo amafu esiphepho embubhiso aqoqana usuku nosuku, umzuzwana nomzuzwana emkhathizwe wale mpucuko. Ngidinga ukukusho? Ngisadinga ukukholisa? Bheka ngamehlo akho. Bona ngowakho umphefumulo. Ingabe inzondo enjalo, nokuhlanekezela, nokonakala kungaqhubeka? Ngaphezu kwalokho, ingabe ubuthongo bokufa kwabaningi kangaka, abaningi eBandleni bungaqhubeka ngenkathi ibhubesi elihungayo lizingela futhi liphanga abantwana bomhlaba ngokuthanda kwabo?
IQALA NGESONTO
Indebe yoBulungiswa iyachichima. Ngani? Ngegazi lengane engakazalwa. Ngokukhala kwabalambile. Ngokukhala kwabacindezelweyo. Ngosizi lwaleyo miphefumulo elahlekile elahlekile ngoba ingenabelusi. Ubusuku obungaphambi kwethu manje, ngokumangalisayo, akulona olwandulela ukwahlulelwa kwezwe eliyisigwegwe, kodwa ukwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu iBandla eliye lavumela izilwane zasendle namasela ukuba angene esivinini salo.
Ngoba sekuyisikhathi sokuba ukwahlulela kuqale ngendlu kaNkulunkulu; uma kuqala ngathi, kuzophela kanjani kulabo abahluleka ukulalela ivangeli likaNkulunkulu? (1 Petru 4:17)
UNkulunkulu uluthando. Uhlala enza ngothando. Futhi into enothando kakhulu ukuyenza, ngenxa yoMlobokazi waKhe nangenxa yomusa wezwe elifayo, ukungenelela ngamandla nangamandla. Kodwa kuyini lokhu kungenelela? Ngokuqinisekile kuwukuvumela amadodana ka-Adamu ukuba avune akutshalile!
Sekuyisikhathi sokuba imbazo ibekwe empandeni yoMuthi. Isikhathi Sokuthena Okukhulu sesifikile. Okufayo kuyakuthenwa, futhi okufileyo kuyakunqunywa, kuphonswe emlilweni. Futhi lokho okuphilayo kuzolungiselelwa iNtwasahlobo eNtsha lapho amagatsha eBandla eyokhula njengesihlahla sesinaphi ukuze amboze amagumbi omane omhlaba. Isithelo sawo siyoconsa uju—ubumnandi bokuhlanzeka, uthando, neqiniso. Kodwa okokuqala, isikhuni somlilo woMcwengisisi kufanele sibekwe eMzimbeni.
“Ezweni lonke,” usho uJehova, “izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zazo ziyakunqunywa, zibhubhe, nengxenye yesithathu isale. Ngizoletha ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu emlilweni, futhi ngizobacwengisisa njengoba kucwengeke isiliva, futhi ngizobahlola njengoba kuvivinywa igolide. Bayakubiza igama lami, ngibuzwe. Ngiyakuthi: “Bangabantu bami,” bona bathi: “UJehova unguNkulunkulu wami.” (Zak 13: 8-9)
UKUDUTSHULWA KWESIXWAYISO
Bambalwa abaqaphelayo ukuthi i-Our Lady yavela e-Rwanda njenge-Our Lady of Kibeho ngaphambi kokubulawa kwabantu ngo-1994, emibonweni eyamukelwa kamuva nguPapa ngokwakhe. Wabonisa ababonisi abasebasha ngezithombe ezinembayo ezesabekayo zokuthi kwakuzokwenzekani uma izwe lingaphenduki ebubini ababebugcine ezinhliziyweni zabo. Kanjalo nanamuhla, i-Our Lady iyaqhubeka nokuvela, kodwa siyaqhubeka nokungayinaki. Futhi njengoba enza e-Afrika ngaphambi kokuhlatshwa, uyakhala, futhi uyakhala, futhi uyakhala.
Mama, ngicela! Awungiphenduli ngani? Angikwazi ukubekezelela ukukubona uphatheke kabi… ngicela ungakhali! O, Mama, angikwazi ngisho nokufinyelela ukuze ngikududuze noma ngimise amehlo akho. Kwenzekeni ekuzwise ubuhlungu obungaka? Ngeke ungivumele ngikuculele futhi wenqaba ukukhuluma nami. Ngiyakucela mama angikaze ngikubone ukhala futhi kuyangethusa! —umboni u-Alphonsine eMkhosini Wokukwenyuka, Aug. 15th, 1982; Our Lady of Kibeho, ngu-Immaculée Ilibagiza, pg. 146-147
INkosikazi yethu yaphendula, icela umboni, u-Alphonsine, ukuba acule ngempela: “Naviriye ubusa mu Ijuru” (Ngivela Ezulwini Ngeze):
Abantu ababongi,
Abangithandi, ngivela ezulwini mahhala.
Zonke izinto ezinhle ngizishiyile lapho.
Inhliziyo yami igcwele usizi,
Mntanami, ngibonise uthando,
Uyangithanda,
Sondela enhliziyweni yami.
SONDELA ENHLIZIYWENI YAMI
Futhi ngakho uyasibuza, loMama okhalayo… labo abazolalela… Sondela enhliziyweni yami. Uyathembisa, labo abakwenzayo, bazothola isiphephelo kulesi Siphepho esizodedelwa—ngiyakholwa ukuthi Ukugqashuka kweziMpawu. 
Zibekele ezinye izimpahla, amasonto ambalwa okudla, amanzi, nemithi (bese okunye ukushiyele kuNkulunkulu.) Kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke, lungisa ukuphila kwakho noNkulunkulu. Khulula ijazi lesono elisakunamathele. Qalisa ku-Confession uma udinga! Isikhathi sifushane kakhulu. Thembela kuJesu. Ihora lokukholwa—lokuhamba okholweni ngokuphelele—lifikile. Abanye bethu bayobizwa ngokuthi basekhaya; abanye bayobulawelwa ukholo; futhi nokho abanye bayoholwa uMphongolo wesivumelwano bangene kwemusha I-Era Yokuthula okuprofethwe oFata BeSonto LokuQala, ImiBhalo Engcwele, neNkosazana Yethu. Sonke sizobizelwa ukwenza ubufakazi obunamandla, umsebenzi esiwulungiselele kulezi zinsuku zevangeli Isisekelo. Ungesabi. Hlala uphapheme! Khumbula njalo, ikhaya lakho liseZulwini. Gxilisa amehlo akho kuJesu, ukhumbule ukuthi leli zwe liyithunzi elidlulayo, ingxenye yesikhathi esifushane olwandle lwaphakade.
UNkulunkulu ethanda, ngizoba nani kulelihora inqobo nje uma Evuma, ukunikhulekela futhi nginiqhubekisele phambili njengoba abaningi benu bengenzela mina. Isikhathi sikaNkulunkulu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuthatha isikhathi eside kangakanani ukwenzeka, asisazi. Ngakho-ke siyabuka, futhi siyakhuleka, futhi sithemba ndawonye... ngokuba konke okukhona nokuzayo kungaphakathi kwezinhlelo zokuphatha kukaNkulunkulu.
Lapho umhlaba usuqinisiwe ebubini, uNkulunkulu wathumela uzamcolo ukuba awujezise futhi awukhulule. Wabiza uNowa ukuba abe nguyise wenkathi entsha, wamkhuthaza ngamazwi anomusa, futhi wabonisa ukuthi wayemethemba; Wamnika iziyalezo zikababa mayelana nenhlekelele yamanje, futhi ngomusa Wakhe wamduduza ngethemba lekusasa. Kodwa uNkulunkulu akagcinanga ngokukhipha imiyalo; kunalokho uNowa ehlanganyela umsebenzi, Wagcwalisa umkhumbi ngenzalo yesikhathi esizayo yomhlaba wonke. -St. Peter Chrysologus, Imfundo yamahora, pg. 235, uMqulu I
Asikufisi ngempela ukuphela kwezwe. Noma kunjalo, siyafuna ukuba leli zwe elingenabulungisa liphele. Sifuna futhi ukuthi umhlaba uguqulwe ngokuyisisekelo, sifuna ukuqala kwempucuko yothando, ukufika komhlaba wobulungiswa nokuthula, ngaphandle kodlame, ngaphandle kwendlala. Siyakufuna konke lokhu, nokho kungenzeka kanjani ngaphandle kokuba khona kukaKristu? Ngaphandle kokuba khona kukaKristu akusoze kwaba khona izwe elinobulungisa ngempela nelivuselelwe. —UPAPA BENEDICT XVI, Izethameli Jikelele, “Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ekupheleni kwesikhathi noma ngesikhathi sokuntuleka kokuthula okudabukisayo: Woza Nkosi Jesu!", L'Osservatore Romano, Novemba 12, 2008
