AMAZWI ebilokhu izungeza inhliziyo yami…
Njengoba ubumnyama buba mnyama, izinkanyezi ziya ngokuya zikhanya.
VULA IMINYANGO
Ngikholwa ukuthi uJesu unika amandla labo abathobekile nabavulelekile kuMoya wakhe oNgcwele ukuthi bakhule ngokushesha ngaphakathi ubungcwele. Yebo, iminyango yeZulu ivulekile. Umgubho we-Jubilee kaPapa John Paul II ka-2000, lapho afike wavula khona iminyango yeSt. Peter's Basilica, ukhombisa lokhu. Izulu lisivulele ngokoqobo iminyango yalo.
Kepha ukwamukelwa kwalezi ziphiwo kuncike kulokhu: lokho we vula iminyango yezinhliziyo zethu. Lawo kwakungamazwi okuqala kaJPII ngenkathi ekhethwa…
"Vulani izinhliziyo zenu kuJesu Kristu!"
UPapa ongasekho wayesitshela ukuthi singesabi ukuvula izinhliziyo zethu ngoba iZulu lalizosivulela iminyango yalo yoMusa—hhayi isijeziso.
Uyakhumbula ukuthi uPhapha wayebuthaka kangakanani futhi engasenamandla kangakanani ngenkathi Ephusha iminyango yeminyaka eyiNkulungwane? (Ngazibona ngiseRome; zinkulu futhi zinzima.) Ngikholwa ukuthi isimo sempilo sikaPapa ngaleso sikhathi sasiwuphawu kithi. Yebo, nathi singangena kuleyo minyango njengoba nje sinjalo: sibuthakathaka, sibuthakathaka, sikhathele, sinesizungu, sisindwa, sinesono. Yebo, ikakhulukazi uma sinesono. Ngoba ngenxa yalokho uKristu weza.
INKANYEZI YEZULU
Kunenkanyezi eyodwa kuphela esibhakabhakeni engabonakali inyakaza. I-Polaris, "iNkanyezi YaseNyakatho". Zonke ezinye izinkanyezi zibonakala ziyizungeza. UMariya Obusisekile yiNkanyezi leyo esibhakabhakeni sasezulwini seBandla.
Siyamzungeza, njengokungathi, sigqolozela ukukhanya kwakhe, ubungcwele bakhe, isibonelo sakhe. Ngoba uyabona, iNkanyezi yaseNyakatho isetshenziselwa ukuhamba, ikakhulukazi uma kumnyama kakhulu. I-Polaris isiLatin sangesikhathi esidlule 'sezulu', elisuselwa kwelesiLatini, ubuthi, okusho ukuthi 'ukuphela kwe-eksisi.' Yebo, uMariya yilokho Ezulwini inkanyezi esiholela kufayela le- ukuphela kwenkathi. Usiholela kufayela le- ukusa okusha nini the Inkanyezi yokusa izophuma, uKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu, ekhanya kabusha phezu kwabantu abahlanziwe.
Kodwa uma sifuna ukulandela ukuhola kwakhe, kufanele futhi sikhanye njengaye ngamazwi ethu, izenzo, ngisho nemicabango. Ngoba inkanyezi elahlekelwa ukukhanya kwayo izithela phezu kwayo, ibe imbobo emnyama ebhubhisa yonke into ezungezile.
Njengoba ubumnyama buya buba mnyama, kufanele sikhanye ngokwengeziwe.
Yenzani konke ngaphandle kokukhononda nokungabaza, ukuze nibe ngabangasolekiyo nabangenacala, abantwana bakaNkulunkulu abangenasici phakathi kwesizukulwane esiyisigwegwe nesiphambeneyo, enikhanya phakathi kwaso njengezinkanyiso emhlabeni. (KwabaseFilipi 2: 14-15)
NGEMPELA uyinkanyezi, Mariya! INkosi yethu uqobo lwaYo, uJesu Kristu, uyiNkanyezi eyiqiniso nenkulu kunawo wonke, iNkanyezi yokusa ekhanyayo, njengoba uJohane oNgcwele embiza kanjalo; leyoNkanyezi eyabikezelwa kusukela ekuqaleni ukuthi yayimiselwe ukuphuma kwaIsrayeli, futhi eyavezwa ngomfanekiso yinkanyezi eyabonakala kwabahlakaniphileyo eMpumalanga. Kepha uma abahlakaniphileyo nabafundileyo nabafundisa abantu ukulunga bekhazimula njengezinkanyezi kuze kube phakade naphakade; uma izingelosi zamaBandla zibizwa ngezinkanyezi Esandleni sikaKristu; uma ebahlonipha abaphostoli nangezinsuku zenyama yabo ngesiqu, ebabiza ngezinkanyiso zezwe; uma nalezo zingelosi ezawa ezulwini zibizwa ngabafundi abathandwayo ngezinkanyezi; uma ekugcineni bonke abangcwele enjabulweni babizwa ngokuthi izinkanyezi, ngokuthi banjengezinkanyezi ezingafani nezinkanyezi enkazimulweni; ngakho-ke ngokuqinisekile, ngaphandle kokudelelwa udumo lweNkosi yethu, uMariya unina othiwa iNkanyezi yoLwandle, futhi ikakhulukazi ngoba nasekhanda lakhe uthwele umqhele wezinkanyezi eziyishumi nambili. UJesu ungukukhanya kwezwe, kukhanyisa wonke umuntu ongena kuwo, evula amehlo ethu ngesipho sokukholwa, enze imiphefumulo ikhanye ngomusa wakhe onamandla onke; noMariya uyiNkanyezi, ekhanya ngokukhanya kukaJesu, emuhle njengenyanga, futhi ekhetheke njengelanga, inkanyezi yezulu, okuhle ukuyibuka, inkanyezi yolwandle, eyamukelekayo esivunguvungwini. -phonswa, okundiza umoya omubi ngokumamatheka, izinkanuko ziyathuliswa, nokuthula kuthululelwa emphefumulweni. —UKhadinali John Henry Newman, Incwadi eya kuMfu EB Pusey; "Ubunzima bamaSheshi", uMqulu II
