THE ISonto lesibili lePhasika li Divine Divine Sunday. Kuwusuku uJesu athembisa ngalo ukuthululela umusa ongenakulinganiswa ngezinga elithile, kwabanye “Ithemba lokugcina lensindiso.” Yize kunjalo, amaKhatholika amaningi awazi ukuthi liyini leli dili noma angaze ezwe ngalo epulpiti.

UKristu Udabukile Emhlabeni Wonke, nguMichael D. O'Brien
Ngizizwa ngiphoqelekile ukuthi ngithumele kabusha lo mbhalo lapha namhlanje kusihlwa. Siphila esikhathini esiyingozi, ukuthula ngaphambi kwesiphepho, lapho abaningi belingeka ukuba balale. Kepha kufanele sihlale siqaphile, okusho ukuthi, amehlo ethu agxile ekwakheni uMbuso kaKristu ezinhliziyweni zethu nasemhlabeni osizungezile. Ngale ndlela, sizobe siphila ekunakekelweni okungapheli nomusa kaBaba, ukuvikelwa nokugcotshwa Kwakhe. Sizobe sihlala eMphongolweni, futhi kufanele sibe lapho manje, ngoba kungekudala kuzoqala ukuna ubulungiswa ezweni elinemifantu futhi lomile futhi lomele uNkulunkulu. Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngo-Ephreli 30, 2011.
UKRISTU UVUKILE, ALLELUIA!
NGEMPELA Uvukile, alleluya! Ngikubhalela namhlanje ngivela eSan Francisco, eU.SA ngosuku olwandulela iVigil of Divine Mercy, kanye neBeatification kaJohn Paul II. Ekhaya lapho ngihlala khona, imisindo yenkonzo yomkhuleko eyenzeka eRoma, lapho kukhulekelwa khona izimfihlakalo ezikhanyayo, ingena egumbini ngobumnene besiphethu esiputshuzayo namandla empophoma. Umuntu ngeke asizakale kodwa akhungatheke yi izithelo Yovuko olusobala njengoba iSonto Lendawo Yonke likhuleka ngazwi linye ngaphambi kokugcotshwa kwesikhundla sikaSt. I- amandla weSonto — amandla kaJesu — akhona, kokubili kufakazi obonakalayo walesi sehlakalo, nasebukhoneni benhlanganyelo yabaNgcwele. UMoya oNgcwele uzulazula…
Lapho ngihlala khona, ikamelo langaphambili linodonga olunezithonjana nezithombe ezibaziweyo: iSt. zonke zinamabala ngezinyembezi zamafutha noma zegazi eziwe emehlweni abo ezinyangeni ezedlule. Umqondisi ongokomoya wombhangqwana ohlala lapha nguFr. USeraphim Michalenko, usekela-postulator wenqubo yokugcotshwa kukaSt Faustina. Isithombe sihlangana noJohn Paul II sihlala ezinyaweni zesinye sezithombe. Ukuthula okubonakalayo nokuba khona kukaMama Obusisiwe kubonakala kugcwele ekamelweni…
Futhi-ke, kuphakathi kwale mhlaba emibili ukuthi ngikubhalele. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ngibona izinyembezi zenjabulo zehla ebusweni balabo abathandaza eRoma; kolunye uhlangothi, kwehla izinyembezi zosizi emehlweni eNkosi noMama wethu kuleli khaya. Ngakho-ke ngiyabuza futhi, “Jesu, ufuna ngithini kubantu bakho?” Futhi ngiyawezwa enhliziyweni yami amazwi,
Tshela izingane zami ukuthi ngiyazithanda. Ukuthi nginguMusa uqobo. NoMercy ubiza izingane Zami ukuthi zivuke.
