THE emasontweni ambalwa edlule, kubethelwe iziphambano ezimbili nesithombe sikaMariya ekhaya lethu — okungenani ezimbili zazo ngendlela engaqondakali. Eqinisweni, cishe sonke isithombe esisekhaya lethu sinesandla esilahlekile. Kungikhumbuze umbhalo engiwenzile ngalokhu ngoFebhuwari 13, 2007. Ngicabanga ukuthi akuyona into engaqondakali, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yezimpikiswano eziqhubekayo ezungeze iSinodi engajwayelekile eMndenini eyenzeka eRome njengamanje. Ngoba kubukeka sengathi sibheke — ngesikhathi sangempela — okungenani ukuqala kokuqala kwengxenye yeSiphepho iningi lethu ebelilokhu likuxwayisa iminyaka ezayo: ukuphikiswa...
Futhi, okulandelayo kwashicilelwa okokuqala ngoFebhuwari 13, 2007. Ngikubuyekeze ngemicimbi yamanje…

Izinyembezi zosizi. Bebegcwele kimi ngesonto eledlule, njengoba iNkosi ingidlulisile ngochungechunge lwamalambu angaphakathi engizozama ukuwavula lapha, ngomusa waYo.
Ngonyaka odlule (ngo-2006), lapho iNkosi yayithulula okwakubonakala kungamazwi aqinile esiprofetho (engifingqe kuwo Izilwane, futhi kuchazwe kabanzi ku- Amacilongo Esixwayiso!), Ngabona iziphambano eziningana ekhaya lethu kanye nebhasi lokuvakasha liphukile-cishe njalo ezandleni noma ezandleni. Ngizwe sengathi kunomyalezo… kodwa bengingazi ukuthi yini. 
Bese kuthi emasontweni ambalwa edlule, kubethelwe ezinye iziphambano ezintathu, zaphinde zenzeka ezingalweni. Ngabhala umqondisi ongokomoya wemibhalo yami, ngingafuni ukufunda noma yini kulokho okwakubonakala kuyizingozi ezilula. Naye wadlulisa ukuthi kubethelwe iziphambano ezandleni zakhe. Kepha kuye, akekho owayebathintile.
Kwaze kwaba yilapho ngihlala phansi ukuqala ukukubhalela lapho ngingaqonda khona ngokuzumayo: Umzimba kaKristu uyaphuka, futhi isizophulwa…
UKUWA UMUSA
Eminyakeni embalwa emuva, ngaba nephupho elicacile elaliphindaphindeka ngezindlela ezahlukahlukene. [1]Ekuqaleni kwalobu buphostoli obubhalwe phansi, nganginamaphupho amaningi aqinile, anamandla kamuva ayezoba nengqondo lapho ngifunda imfundiso yeSonto nge-eschatology. Kuzoqala njalo ngezinkanyezi ezisezulwini ziqala ukuzungeza nokuzungeza. Ngokungazelelwe babeyowa. Ephusheni elilodwa, izinkanyezi zaphenduka amabhola omlilo. Kwaba nokuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu. Ngenkathi ngiqala ukufuna indawo yokucasha, ngikhumbula kahle ngidlula eSontweni elinezisekelo zalo ezazibhidlikile, amafasitela alo anengilazi enamabala manje atshekele phansi emhlabeni.
Ngesonto eledlule, kwenzeka ukuthi umzalwane kuKristu angibhalele le akhawunti elandelayo:
Ngaphambi nje kokuvuka namhlanje ekuseni ngezwa izwi. Lokhu bekungafani nezwi engalizwa eminyakeni edlule lithi “Sekuqalile.”Esikhundleni salokho, leli zwi lalithambile, hhayi njengokuyala, kepha lalibonakala linothando futhi linolwazi futhi lithule ngethoni. Ngingasho kakhulu izwi lowesifazane kunelowesilisa. Engikuzwile kube umusho owodwa… la magama abenamandla (kusukela namhlanje ekuseni bengizama ukuphusha ngaphandle kwengqondo yami futhi angikwazi):
“Izinkanyezi zizowa.”
Ngisho nokubhala lokhu manje ngizwa ukuthi amagama asenanela engqondweni yami futhi into ehlekisayo, bekuzwakala sengathi kusheshe kunakuqala, noma ngabe isheshe yaba yini.
KuSambulo 12, ithi:
Kwavela isibonakaliso esikhulu esibhakabhakeni, owesifazane embethe ilanga, nenyanga ingaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe, nasekhanda lakhe kukhona umqhele wezinkanyezi eziyishumi nambili. Wayekhulelwe futhi ekhala kakhulu ngezinhlungu njengoba ayesebenza kanzima ebeletha. Kwabe sekuvela esinye isibonakaliso esibhakabhakeni; kwakungudrako omkhulu obomvu, onamakhanda ayisikhombisa nezimpondo eziyishumi, nasemakhanda akhe kukhona imiqhele eyisikhombisa. Umsila wayo wakhukhula ingxenye yesithathu yezinkanyezi esibhakabhakeni yaziphonsa emhlabeni. (Izambulo 12: 1-4)
"Owesifazane", ngokusho kwencazelo yeBhayibheli nokuphawula kwamapapa, kuwuphawu kubo bobabili uMariya kanye neSonto. [2]qhathanisa Ukuhumusha iSambulo Ekuhlaziyweni kwakhe kwemibhalo yeSambulo, ongasekho 
umbhali uSteven Paul uthathe isinqumo sokuthi “inkanyezi” iwuphawu lwelungu lobupristi. [3]I-Apocalypse - Incwadi ngencwadi; iUniverse, 2006
Khumbula ukuthi iNcwadi Yesambulo yaqala ngezincwadi eziyisikhombisa ezibhalelwe amasonto ayisikhombisa ase-Asia
(bheka Isambulo Khanyisa) —Inombolo "eyisikhombisa" futhi ifanekisela ukuphelela noma ukuphelela. Ngakho-ke, izincwadi zingasebenza kulo lonke iSonto. Yize bephethe amazwi enkuthazo, babuye babize iSonto ukuthi lize ukuphenduka, ngoba ingukukhanya kwezwe okusakaza ubumnyama, futhi ngezinye izindlela — ikakhulukazi uBaba oNgcwele uqobo — futhi isibambi [4]isib. 2 Thes 2: 7 ukubamba amandla obumnyama (funda Ukususa isibambi).
U-Abrahama, ubaba wokholo, kungokholo lwakhe idwala elibamba izinxushunxushu, isikhukhula esidala sokubhujiswa, ngakho-ke sigcina indalo. USimon, owokuqala ukuvuma ukuthi uJesu unguKristu… manje uba ngenxa yokholo luka-Abrahama, olwenziwa lube musha kuKristu, idwala elimelene negagasi elingcolile lokungakholwa nokubhujiswa kwalo komuntu. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI (UKhadinali Ratzinger), Sibizelwe eSidlweni, Ukuqonda iSonto Namuhla, Adrian Walker, Tr., K. 55-56
Ngakho-ke, izinhlamvu zesAmbulo lungiselela inkundla ukwahlulela, okokuqala kweSonto, bese kuba ngumhlaba.
Ngoba sekuyisikhathi sokuba ukwahlulela kuqale ngendlu kaNkulunkulu; uma kuqala ngathi, kuzophela kanjani kulabo abahluleka ukulalela ivangeli likaNkulunkulu? (1 Pet. 4:17)
Njengoba ngabhala ngo-2014 ngemuva kokuvulwa kweSinodi Yomndeni, ngezwa ukuthi "siphila ngezinhlamvu zesambulo." [5]bheka Ukulungiswa Okuhlanu Ngakho-ke ngamangala lapho ngibona ukuthi ukusola kukaPapa Francis ababhishobhi ekupheleni kweSinodi ngqo ukufana nokusola okuhlanu uJesu akunika amabandla kuSambulo (bheka Ukulungiswa Okuhlanu). Futhi, bafowethu nodadewethu, kubonakala kimi ukuthi siphila isici eschatological sencwadi yeSambulo ngesikhathi sangempela. [6]qhathanisa Ukuphila Incwadi Yesambulo
IZINKANYEZI EZIWAYO
Lezi zincwadi zibhekiswe “ezinkanyezini eziyisikhombisa” ezivela esandleni sikaJesu ekuqaleni kombono kuSt.
Le yincazelo eyimfihlo yezinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa ozibonile esandleni sami sokunene, nakwezinti zezibani eziyisikhombisa zegolide: izinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa ziyizingelosi zamabandla ayisikhombisa, futhi izinti zezibani eziyisikhombisa zingamabandla ayisikhombisa. (IsAm. 1:20)
“Izingelosi” lapha futhi kungenzeka zisho ukuthi abefundisi weBandla. Njengoba I-Navarre Bible amanothi wokuhlaziya:
Izingelosi zamabandla ayisikhombisa zingamela ababhishobhi abaphethe bona, noma-ke izingelosi ezingabaqaphi ezibagadayo… Noma ngabe yikuphi, okuhle kakhulu ukubona izingelosi zamabandla, okubhekiswe kuzo izincwadi, njengokusho labo ababusa futhi bavikele isonto ngalinye egameni likaKristu. -Incwadi yesambulo, “INavarre Bible”, k. 36
Abanye baye babona “engelosini” yesonto ngalinye kulawa ayisikhombisa umfundisi wayo noma ukwenziwa samuntu komoya webandla. -I-New American Bible, umbhalo waphansi wesAm. 1:20
Nanti iphuzu elisemqoka: Umbhalo usitshela ukuthi ingxenye yalezi “zinkanyezi” izowa noma ilahlwe ngaphandle [7]qhathanisa Icala Leminyaka Eyisikhombisa - Ingxenye IV "ekuhlubukeni". [8]isib. 2 Thes 2: 3
Izulu liyibandla okuthi ngobusuku balempilo yamanje, ngenkathi lona ngokwalo linezimfanelo ezingenakubalwa zabangcwele, likhanye njengezinkanyezi ezikhazimulayo zasezulwini; kepha umsila kadrako ushanela izinkanyezi ziye emhlabeni… Izinkanyezi eziwa ezulwini yilabo asebelahle ithemba ezintweni zasezulwini futhi bahahela, ngaphansi kokuholwa uSathane, umkhakha wenkazimulo yasemhlabeni. —USt. UGregory Omkhulu, I-Moralia, 32, 13
Lapha, amazwi kaPapa Paul VI abalulekile.
Umsila kasathane usebenza ekuhlakazekeni kwamaKatolika
umhlaba. Ubumnyama bukaSathane bungene basabalala kulo lonke iSonto LamaKhatholika kuze kufike esiqongweni salo. Ukuhlubuka, ukulahleka kokholo, kusakazeka emhlabeni wonke kuya emazingeni aphakeme kakhulu eSontweni. —Ikheli le-Anniversary of the Sixtieth Anniversary of the Fatima Apparitions, ngo-Okthoba 13, 1977
USt. John unikezwa eminye imibono yezinto eziwayo zasezulwini ezibizwa ngokuthi "amacilongo". Okokuqala, kuvela ezulwini "isichotho nomlilo oxubene negazi" bese kuba "intaba evuthayo" bese kuba "inkanyezi evutha njengesibani". [9]I-Rev 8: 6-12 Ngabe la “macilongo” afanekisela a wesithathu yabapristi, ababhishobhi, kanye nokhadinali? Impela iSilo “yakhukhula ingxenye yesithathu yezinkanyezi esibhakabhakeni yaziphonsa emhlabeni. ” [10]I-Rev 12: 4 Udrako-osebenza ngokuhlangana kwamandla, okufihliwe nokuhlelekile [11]qhathanisa I-Global Revolution! futhi Imfihlakalo iBabiloni—Ishanela ingxenye yesithathu yezinkanyezi ivela ezulwini. Lokho, mhlawumbe, ingxenye yesithathu yabefundisi beSonto ikhukhulekile ekuhlubukeni, kanye nalabo ababalandelayo. [12]qhathanisa umhlonyane
Maqondana nokufika kweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu nokuhlangana kwethu ukuhlangana nayo, siyanincenga, bazalwane, ukuba ningethuki masinyane engqondweni, noma nixakaniswe, kungaba ngumoya, noma ngezwi, noma ngencwadi ethi ivela kithina, umphumela wokuthi usuku lweNkosi selufikile. Makungabikho muntu onikhohlisa nganoma iyiphi indlela; ngoba lolo suku alunakufika, ngaphandle kokuthi kufike ukuhlubuka kuqala, kwembulwe umuntu ongenamthetho, indodana yokubhujiswa. (2 Thes. 2: 1-3)
UHLELO OLUZAYO
Kakade, njengoba sengibhalile ku- Amacilongo Esixwayiso! -Ingxenye I, kubonakala sengathi sifakaza "isandulela" salokhu kuqhekeka okuzayo. Ukudideka kubusa phakathi kwezibaya zezimvu zeSonto: isimilo 
izimfundiso azinakwa abantu abaningi abavamile, abazinaki abefundisi abaningana, futhi manje — njengoba sizwa eSynod on the Family - bechilizelwa eceleni ngabathile bamaKhadinali befuna enye indlela “yokwalusa”. Kodwa njengoba uPapa Francis axwayisa ngonyaka odlule, le ndlela yokucabanga iyi…
… Ukulingwa kokuthambekela kokulimaza kobuhle, okuthi egameni lomusa okhohlisayo kubopha amanxeba ngaphandle kokuqala ukuwalapha nokuwalapha; elapha izimpawu hhayi izimbangela nezimpande. Kuyisilingo "sabenza okuhle," sabantu abesabayo, kanye nalabo okuthiwa "abathuthukayo nabakhululekile." —UPapa uFrancis, ephetha inkulumo yakhe emihlanganweni yokuqala yeSinodi, I-Catholic News Agency, Okthoba 18, 2014
Kusikhumbuza amazwi kaHezekeli 34:
Maye kubelusi bakwa-Israyeli abekade bezalusa! Awuzange uqinise ababuthakathaka noma welaphe abagulayo noma ubophe abalimele. Awubuyisanga abadukile noma wafuna elahlekile… Ngakho-ke bahlakazeka ngokuswela umalusi, baba ngukudla kwazo zonke izilwane zasendle.
Asinakusho yini ukuthi inhlabathi yalesi silingo isilungiswe amashumi eminyaka manje iSonto elalilaliswe ubuthongo ngenxa yesimanjemanje, ukuthengwa kwabathengi, futhi manje nokuziphatha okulungile?
USathane angathatha izikhali zenkohliso ezethusayo kakhulu — angazifihla — angazama ukusikhohlisa ezintweni ezincane, futhi ukuze asuse iSonto, hhayi konke ngasikhathi sinye, kodwa kancane kancane esikhundleni salo sangempela.-Ubusisiwe uJohn Henry Newman, Intshumayelo IV: Ukushushiswa Komphik'ukristu
Manje, kungazelelwe, kunolimi olungavamile olusetshenziswa abefundisi [13]qhathanisa Ukulwa Nesihe lokho akuwona neze amaKatolika njengoba bephakamisa ukuthi kwehlukaniswe phakathi kwezimfundiso nezenzo zokwalusa. UbuProthestani ku-zucchetto. [14]I- “zucchetto” yi-skullcap noma i- “beanie” egqokwa amaKhadinali.
UNkulunkulu uzovumela ububi obukhulu obumelene neBandla: izihlubuki nabashiqela bazofika ngokuzumayo nangokungalindelekile; bazongena eSontweni ngenkathi ababhishobhi, abefundisi, nabapristi belele. —UVenerable Bartholomew Holzhauser (1613-1658 AD); Umphikukristu Nezikhathi Zokugcina, UMfu Joseph Iannuzzi, ikhasi 30
UKUHLASELWA KUKAPETRU
Njengoba ngabhala esikhathini esithile esedlule, ukuhlaselwa kukaSihlalo kaPeter kungu-thermometer ka- ukuhlubuka. [15]qhathanisa UPapa: I-Thermometer Yokuhlubuka Futhi namuhla, lokho kuhlasela kufinyelele emazingeni angajwayelekile. Ukudideka kugcwele njengoba sekuvele abaprofethi bamanga abaningi ukusikisela ukuthi uPapa wethu okhethwe ngokusemthethweni uqobo "ungumprofethi wamanga", "isilo" seSambulo 13, "umchithi" wokholo. Lezi zinsolo zivela ekungaboni kahle kwangaphakathi, uma kungenjalo okuyize, okungagcinanga nje ngokulahlekelwa yizithembiso zikaKristu uPetrine, kepha sekuyisiprofetho esizigcwalisa ngokwakha uqhekeko olusha phakathi Okuqaphele AmaKatolika. Mayelana nalokhu, isiprofetho sikaSt. Leopold siqala ukukhanya; ngabe wayekhuluma ngoqhekeko oluthi "olandelanayo kakhulu"?
Qaphela ukugcina ukholo lwakho, ngoba ngokuzayo, iSonto e-USA lizohlukaniswa neRoma. -Umphik'ukristu Nezikhathi Zokuphela, Fr. UJoseph Iannuzzi, iSt Andrew's Productions, P. 31
Noma — uma lesi siprofetho siyiqiniso — ngabe wayekhuluma ngalabo abazolandela ukucabanga okuqhubekayo kwe-zeitgeist engokomoya yezikhathi zethu empeleni abashiya uBaba oNgcwele? Noma zombili? Akunandaba, angikaze ngisifunde isiprofetho emthonjeni ovunyelwe okhuluma ngopapa okhethwe ngokusemthethweni ukuba abe yisihlubuki — okungaphikisana noMathewu 16:18 lapho uKristu athi uPetru “uyidwala” khona. [16]funda Ngabe uPapa Ungaba Yini Isihlubuki nguFr. UJoseph Iannuzzi Ngempela, ekupheleni kwezikhathi zokuqala zesinodi ngonyaka odlule, uPapa Francis wenza isimemezelo esidumayo sokuvikela iSiko Elingcwele.
UPapa, kulo mongo, akayona inkosi ephakeme, kepha kunalokho uyinceku ephezulu - "inceku yezinceku zikaNkulunkulu"; isiqinisekiso sokulalela nokuvumelana kweSonto nentando kaNkulunkulu, iVangeli likaKristu, kanye neNkambiso yeSonto, ukubeka eceleni yonke imicabango yomuntu, yize kwenziwa - ngentando kaKrestu uqobo - “ophakeme Umfundisi kanye noMfundisi wabo bonke abathembekile ”futhi yize bejabulela" amandla amakhulu, aphelele, asheshayo, futhi ajwayelekile eSontweni ". —UPapa uFrancis, ephetha inkulumo kwiSinodi; I-Catholic News Agency, Okthoba 18, 2014
Iziphrofetho eziningana, kunalokho, zikhomba esikhathini lapho i- umalusi omkhulu, upapa, uzoshaywa ngandlela-thile yizitha zakhe, ashiye iSonto LamaKatolika libonakala lingenamalusi.
Shaya umalusi, ukuze izimvu zihlakazeke. (Zek 13: 7)
Inkolo iyoshushiswa, futhi abapristi babulawa. Amasonto azovalwa, kepha kube yisikhashana nje. UBaba oNgcwele uzophoqeleka ukuba ashiye iRoma. —Ubusiswe u-Anna-Maria Taigi, Isiprofetho samaKatolika
Ngabona omunye wabalandela bami ebalekela izidumbu zabafowabo. Uyophephela ezicashile ndawo ndawo; ngemuva kokuthatha umhlalaphansi isikhashana uzofa kabuhlungu. Ububi bomhlaba obukhona manje busekuqalekeni kosizi okumele lwenzeke ngaphambi kokuphela komhlaba. —UPAPPI PIUS X, Isiprofetho samaKatolika, iphe. I-22
Lezo zinsizi, kusho omunye usanta, zibonakala, ngokwengxenye, zingumphumela wokwehlukana okubi kakhulu…
Ngaba nomunye umbono wosizi olukhulu… Kubonakala kimi ukuthi kwakufunwa imvume kubefundisi ababengeke bayinikwe. Ngabona abapristi abaningi asebekhulile, ikakhulukazi oyedwa, ababekhala kamunyu. Abambalwa abasebasha nabo babekhala… Kwakungathi abantu bahlukana ngamakamu amabili. —Ubusisiwe u-Anne Catherine Emmerich, Impilo Nezambulo zika-Anne Catherine Emmerich
IDIVIDI ENTSHA
Njengoba ngibhala Ushushiso!… Kanye ne-Moral Tsunami, Ngikholwa ukuthi imvume ebifunwayo kungaba yisibopho esisemthethweni se "inhlangano yomhlaba wonke" ephikelela ukuthi iSonto LamaKatolika lamukele ezinye izindlela zomshado, phakathi kwezinye izinto.
… Ukukhuluma ukuvikela impilo namalungelo omndeni sekuyinto, kweminye imiphakathi, uhlobo lobugebengu obenziwa kuMbuso, uhlobo lokungalaleli uHulumeni… —UKhadinali Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, owayenguMongameli woMkhandlu Wepapa Wezomndeni, IVictoria City, ngoJuni 28, 2006
Izimfundiso zeSonto mayelana nokuvimbela inzalo, ukubulawa kwesiguli, nokuhushulwa kwezisu ziyaqhubeka nokuvusa igebe elijulile, hhayi kuphela phakathi kwalo kanye nokuqondiswa kwezepolitiki kwamazwe amaningi, kepha ikakhulukazi phakathi kweSonto abameli futhi labo abahumusha umthetho. Sesivele sibona ezinkantolo eziphansi, emazingeni ezifunda, ukuzimisela ukushushisa amaKristu agcina imibono evamile. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi lezo “zinkanyezi” eziwa eSontweni kube yilabo abamane bahambisane “nenkolo entsha” yoMbuso wobushiqela ohlasela?
Ukungabekezelelani okusha kuyabhebhetheka… inkolo engaqondakali, nembi yenziwa yaba yindinganiso yobushiqela okufanele ilandelwe yiwo wonke umuntu. Empeleni, kepha lokhu kuthuthuka kuya ngokuya ekufuneni inkolo entsha… engazi konke, ngakho-ke, ichaza uhlaka lwezikhombo manje okumele lusebenze kuwo wonke umuntu. Egameni lokubekezelelana, ukubekezelelana kuyaqedwa. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukukhanya Kwezwe, Ukuxoxisana noPeter Seewald, iphe. I-52
Ukube bekunokwehlukana okucashile esikhathini esedlule, kubonakala sengathi kubonakala manje phambi kwamehlo ethu eRoma, ngendlela intaba-mlilo ekhombisa ngayo izimpawu zokuqhuma. Kakade, sesibona “intuthu kaSathane” ithululeka…
Umsebenzi kasathane uzongena uze ungene eSontweni ngendlela yokuthi umuntu abone amakhadinali aphikisana nokhadinali, ababhishobhi abamele ababhishobhi. Abapristi abangikhonzayo bazoklolodelwa baphikiswe ngokuhlangana kwabo…. amasonto nama-altare kukhishwe; iSonto lizogcwala labo abamukela ukuyekethisa futhi idimoni lizocindezela abapristi abaningi nemiphefumulo engcwelisiwe ukuba bashiye inkonzo yeNkosi. —Umlayezo owanikezwa uSr. Agnes Sasagawa wase-Akita, eJapan, ngo-Okthoba 13, 1973; ivunywe ngoJuni ka-1988 nguKhadinali Joseph Ratzinger, oyinhloko yeBandla leMfundiso Yokholo
IZIMBALI
INkosi ibilokhu inginikeza amazwibela angaphakathi okudideka nokwahlukana okubabayo okuzolandela. (Qaphela: lowo musho wokugcina wabhalwa ngo 2007. Njengoba ngike ngabhala kaningi kulo nyaka odlule, lokho kudideka sekufike njengomoya wokuqala weSiphepho Esikhulu). Ngingasho nje ukuthi kuzoba isikhathi sosizi olukhulu. Kungiholela ekukhulumeni izwi lexwayiso othandweni: MANJE YISIKHATHI SOKUBEKA INHLIZIYO YAKHO KULUNGILE NONKULUNKULU.
Labo abakholwa ukuthi bangamane balinde kuze kube sekupheleni ukuze balungise izindlu zabo benza, ngiyakholelwa, iphutha elikhulu. Njengoba kwase kwephuze kakhulu lapho umnyango womkhumbi kaNowa uvaliwe, kuzobe sekwephuze kakhulu ngaleso sikhathi. Manje yisikhathi lapho uJesu esebenza ngamandla angaphezu kwavamile futhi ngasese, elungisa imiphefumulo efikile kuye, esikhuthaza ukuba siphikelele ezinsukwini ezizayo. UNkulunkulu uvumele umoya okhohlisayo emhlabeni wethu, futhi labo abahlehlisa ukuvula amehlo namuhla bangaba yizimpumputhe kakhulu kusasa ukuthi bangalandela izinkomba uNkulunkulu azobe ezinikeza abantu baKhe phakathi kweziyaluyalu. [17]qhathanisa Ukuhlakanipha nokuhlangana kwesiphithiphithi Ngothando, nangomuzwa wokuphuthuma okukhulu, ngiyaphinda ngithi:
Namuhla usuku lwensindiso! Beka inhliziyo yakho ngqo kuNkulunkulu. Hlela indlu yakho engokomoya.
“Ulale ngani? Vukani nithandaze, ukuze ningangeni esilingweni. ” Esakhuluma [uJesu], kwafika isixuku, kwathi lowo obizwa ngokuthi uJuda, omunye wabayishumi nambili, wayebahola. (Luka 22: 46-47)
UJOHANE, NOKULUNGISELELA OKUFIHLEKILE
Ngesikhathi seminyaka yokusebenza kukaKristu, uMphostoli uJohane wayengakaze acabange ukuthi ngolunye usuku uyoke ame ngaphansi kweSiphambano sikaJesu. Njengoba kuvela, bekunguye kuphela kwabayishumi nambili owenzile. Kungani? Umbhalo uphawula ukuthi uJesu wayebheka uJohane njengomfundi "othandekayo". Futhi siyabona ukuthi kungani eSidlweni Sokugcina:
Omunye wabafundi bakhe, uJesu ayemthanda, wayelele eduze kwesifuba sikaJesu. (Johane 13:23)
UJohn wayenendlebe yakhe enhliziyweni kaJesu. Wezwa uThando emhlebela, intethelelo efinyelela ekujuleni komphefumulo wakhe ngezindlela angazizwisisi. Kwakunguye lo mphostoli ngubani 
kamuva wabhala amagama, “UNkulunkulu uluthando.”
UJohn wathola amandla okuhlala ngaphansi kweSiphambano ngenkathi bonke abanye bebaleka ngoba wayekulungele ngenhliziyo kaJesu. Kithina maKatolika, lowo uMthendeleko. Kepha akuyona nje indaba yokwamukela uMthendeleko ngezilimi zethu, kepha nasezinhliziyweni zethu. Ngabe umkhapheli kaKristu naye akazange adle eSidlweni Sokugcina?
Lowo odle isinkwa sami ungiphakamisele isithende sakhe… omunye wenu uzongikhaphela… Nguye engizomnika lolu qhekeko lapho sengilusicwile. (Johane 13:18, 21, 26)
Impela, siyeza isikhathi lapho abaningi esihlanganyele nabo edilini le-Ekaristi bezobekelwa labo abahlala bethembekile kuKristu ngopapa waKhe oyiqiniso… ukwehlukana ngokwehlukana, ukudabuka kosizi.
Ngakho-ke manje yisikhathi sokulungisa izinhliziyo zethu, sizivulele kabanzi kuJesu ukuze umusa woMthendeleko, imiBhalo, kanye nomthandazo wethu wangaphakathi ungene futhi uguqule ubuntu bethu. Iyiphi enye indlela umoya ongaqina ngayo lapho inyama ibuthaka kangaka? Ngempela, omunye wamkhaphela, omunye wama ngakuye — lowo owayencike “kuMzimba” kaJesu.
Futhi, ngifuna ukuqaphela ukuthi uJohn wayemi ngaphansi kweSiphambano noMariya. Mhlawumbe bekubona amandla akhe, emi lapho yedwa, okumdonsele eceleni kwakhe. Ngempela, amandla kaMariya, ukuqina kwakhe, nokwethembeka kwakhe kuzohlala kukudonsela ezinyaweni zikaJesu ngazo zonke izimfanelo zakhe ezinhle “ezikhulisa iNkosi.” [18]isib.
