Manje kunanini ngaphambili kubalulekile ukuthi nibe “abalindi bokuntwela kokusa”, ababukeli abamemezela ukukhanya kokuntwela kokusa nesikhathi esisha sentwasahlobo seVangeli
lapho amahlumela esivele ebonakala.
—UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Usuku Lwe-18 Lwentsha Lomhlaba, ngomhlaka 13 Ephreli 2003; v Vatican.va
FOR emasontweni ambalwa edlule, ngibonile ukuthi kufanele ngihlanganyele nabafundi bami umzekeliso wezinhlobo ezivele muva nje emndenini wami. Lokhu ngikwenza ngemvume yendodana yami. Lapho sobabili sifunda ukufundwa kwezolo nanamuhla kweMisa, sazi ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokuthi sihlanganyele le ndaba ngokuya ngalezi ziqephu ezimbili ezilandelayo:
Ngalezo zinsuku uHana wathatha uSamuweli kanye naye, kanye nenkunzi eneminyaka emithathu ubudala, ne-efa likafulawa, nemvaba yewayini, wamethula ethempelini likaJehova eShilo. (Ukufundwa kokuqala izolo)
Bhekani, ngiyakuthuma kini u-Eliya umprofethi, lungakafiki usuku lukaJehova, usuku olukhulu nolwesabekayo, lokubuyisela izinhliziyo zawoyise kubantwana babo, nezinhliziyo zabantwana koyise… (Isifundo sokuqala sanamuhla )
Uyabona, lapho indodana yami endala uGreg izalwa eminyakeni engaba ngu-19 edlule, ngaba nomuzwa onamandla wokuthi kwakudingeka ngimyise ebandleni lami, naphambi kwe-altare, mngcwelise kuNkosazana Wethu. “Ukugcotshwa” kokwenza lokhu kwakunamandla kakhulu… kodwa, nganoma yisiphi isizathu, ngalibala, ngahlehlisa, futhi ngasusa “lesi siqondiso saphezulu.”
Eminyakeni embalwa kamuva, lapho ngineminyaka eyishumi nambili, okuthile kwashintsha ngokuzumayo kuGreg. Wasuka kubafowabo nomndeni wakhe; ukudlala kwakhe kanye namahlaya kwashabalala; Isiphiwo sakhe esimangalisayo emculweni nasekusunguleni kwangcwatshwa… futhi ukungezwani phakathi kwami naye kwanda kwaze kwagqashuka. Sabe sesithola, cishe eminyakeni emithathu kamuva, ukuthi indodana yethu yayichayeke ezithombeni zobulili ezingcolile futhi yayithole indlela yokuzibuka thina singazi. Wachaza indlela, lapho eyibona okokuqala, wethuka futhi wakhala. Nokho, njengentambo eziqinisayo ehukwini lokufuna ukwazi, wazithola ehudulelwa ebumnyameni bamanga obuthi izwe lezocansi. Noma kunjalo, ukungezwani kwakhula njengoba ukuzethemba kwendodana yethu kuncipha futhi ubuhlobo bethu buwohloka.
Kwathi ngolunye usuku, ekupheleni kwengqondo yami, ngakhunjuzwa ngalolo bizo lwangaphakathi nolungapheli: lokuthi kwakufanele ngiyise indodana yami esontweni lendawo, futhi lapho, ngiyingcwelise kuNkosazana Yethu. Ngacabanga, “Kungcono sekwephuzile, kunokungakaze kwenzeke.” Ngakho-ke, mina noGreg saguqa phambi kweTabernakele kanye nomfanekiso weNkosazana Yethu futhi, lapho, ngabeka indodana yami ngokuqinile ezandleni zalokho. “Owesifazane owembethe ilanga”, yena onguye "inkanyezi yasekuseni" ememezela ukufika koKusa. Futhi-ke, ngamdedela... Njengoyise wendodana yolahleko, nganquma ukuthi ulaka lwami, ukukhungatheka, nokukhathazeka kwakungasenzi lutho kithi. Futhi ngalokho, uGreg wahamba ekhaya ngemva konyaka noma emibili.
Ngochungechunge lwezimo nezenzakalo zonyaka olandelayo, uGreg wazithola engasebenzi futhi engenandawo yokuya—okungukuthi, ngaphandle kwesimemo esivulekile sokujoyina iqembu lezithunywa zevangeli ezingamaKatolika udadewabo ake waba kuso. Azi ukuthi ukuphila kwakhe kwakumelwe kushintshe, uGreg wathengisa imoto yakhe, wapakisha isikhwama esincane, walibangisa ekhaya ngesithuthuthu esincane.
Lapho efika epulazini lakithi, ngamgona. Ngemva kokupakisha ezinye izinto ezimbalwa, ngamyisa eceleni saxoxa. “Baba,” esho, “ngiyakubona lokho engibeke khona umama kanye nawe nokuthi yini okufanele ishintshe ekuphileni kwami. Ngifuna ngempela ukusondela kuNkulunkulu futhi ngibe yindoda okufanele ngibe yiyo. Ngibona izinto eziningi manje ekukhanyeni kweqiniso. ”… UGreg waqhubeka ihora elilandelayo exoxa ngalokho okwakushukumisa inhliziyo yakhe. Ukuhlakanipha okwaphuma emlonyeni wakhe kwakumangalisa; ukuzisola, okungalindelekile nokuthinta ngokujulile, kwakunjengokubona umsebe wokuqala wokuntwela kokusa ngemva kobusuku obude, obumnyama.
Esangulukile wacabanga, '... Ngizosuka ngiye kubaba'... uyise wambona futhi waba nesihe, wagijima wamgona futhi wamanga. Indodana yathi kuye: 'Baba, ngonile kulo izulu naphambi kwakho; angisafanele ukubizwa ngendodana yakho.' ( Luka 15:20-21 )
Ngihlengezela izinyembezi, ngabamba indodana yami ngamtshela indlela engiyithanda ngayo. “Ngiyazi baba. Ngiyazi ukuthi uyangithanda.” Ngemva kwalokho, uGreg waqoqa izinto zakhe wahamba ngemoto waya ezweni ukuze ahlanganyele nabafowabo nodadewabo abasha ukuze babe izikhonzi zeVangeli. NjengoPetru, owayesesesikebheni sakhe ngenkathi uKristu embiza… noma njengoMathewu umthelisi, owayesahlezi etafuleni lakhe… noma njengoZakewu, owayesesesihlahleni sakhe… )—hhayi ngoba bengamadoda aphelele—kodwa ngenxa yokuthi ‘babiziwe. Njengoba ngibuka uGreg enyamalala othulini lwakusihlwa, amazwi aphakama enhliziyweni yami:
... le ndodana yami yayifile, yabuye yaphila; ubelahlekile, usetholakele. ( Luka 15:24 )
Njengoba isonto ngalinye lidlula, mina nomkami simangala kakhulu ngoshintsho olwenzeka ekuphileni kwendodana yethu. Ngikhuluma nje ngingaze ngihlengezele izinyembezi. Ngoba kwakungalindelekile nhlobo, okungalindelekile nhlobo… njengokungathi isandla esivela eZulwini samgwedla. Ukukhanya kubuyile emehlweni akhe; amahlaya akhe, isiphiwo, nomusa uthinta umndeni wakhe futhi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukhona ukufakaza kithi ukuthi ukulandela uJesu kubukeka kanjani. Uyazi ukuthi unohambo olude ngaphambili, njengoba kwenza thina sonke, kodwa okungenani useyitholile indlela elungile… iNdlela, iQiniso, nokuPhila. Muva nje, wabelane nami ukuthi uthole umusa ezikhathini ezinzima kakhulu ngeRosari, futhi kanjalo, usizo lweNkosazana Yethu. Ngempela, njengoba ngingena ehhovisi lami namhlanje ekuseni ukuze ngiqale ukubhala lokhu, uGreg wayencike phezu kweBhayibheli lakhe elivuliwe, iRosari esandleni sakhe, egxilile emthandazweni.
UYABUYA INDODAKAZI
Isizathu sokuthi ngihlanganyele nawe ngakho konke lokhu ukuthi indaba kaGreg ingumfanekiso walokho okwenzeka eRussia. Ngo-1917, emasontweni ambalwa ngaphambi kokuba kuqale iNguquko YamaKhomanisi eMoscow Square, iNkosazana Yethu yabonakala ezinganeni ezintathu inomyalezo:
[IRussia] izosabalalisa amaphutha ayo emhlabeni wonke, idale izimpi nokushushiswa kweSonto. Omuhle uzobulawelwa ukholo; uBaba oNgcwele uzoba nokuhlupheka okuningi; izizwe ezahlukahlukene zizobhujiswa... Kuya ngivimbele lokhu, ngizoza ngizocela ukungcweliswa kweRussia enhliziyweni yami Emsulwa, kanye neSidlo sokunxeshezelwa ngeMigqibelo Yokuqala. Uma izicelo zami zilalelwa, iRussia iyoguqulwa, futhi kuyoba nokuthula; uma hhayi, uyosakaza iziphambeko zakhe emhlabeni wonke... —Umcabangi uSr. Lucia encwadini ayibhalela uBaba Ongcwele, Meyi 12, 1982; Umlayezo weFatima, v Vatican.va
Kodwa kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kungani, opapa balibala, bahlehlisa, futhi basisusa lesi “siqondiso saphezulu.” Ngakho-ke, iRussia yasakaza ngempela amaphutha ayo emhlabeni wonke okubangela ubuhlungu obungachazeki, ukuhlupheka, noshushiso emhlabeni wonke. Kodwa ngoMashi 25, 1984 eSaint Peter's Square, uPapa John Paul II ebunyeni obungokomoya nabaBhishobhi bomhlaba, waphathisa bonke abesilisa nabesifazane nabo bonke abantu enhliziyweni kaMariya Engaphelele:
O Mama wabo bonke abesilisa nabesifazane, nakuzo zonke izizwe, wena owazi konke ukuhlupheka kwabo namathemba abo, wena onolwazi lukamama ngayo yonke imishikashika phakathi kokuhle nokubi, phakathi kokukhanya nobumnyama, okuhlupha izwe lanamuhla, yamukela. ukukhala thina, siqhutshwa nguMoya oNgcwele, sikubhekisa ngqo enhliziyweni yakho. Yamukela ngothando lukaMama Nencekukazi yeNkosi, lo mhlaba wethu wabantu, esiwuphathisa futhi siwungcwelise kuwe, ngoba sigcwele ukukhathazeka ngendawo yasemhlabeni nengunaphakade yomuntu ngamunye kanye nabantu. Ngendlela ekhethekile sibeka futhi singcwelisa kini labo bantu nezizwe ezidinga ngokukhethekile ukuphathiswa nokungcweliswa. 'Sicela isivikelo sakho, Mama kaNkulunkulu ongcwele!' Ungadeleli izicelo zethu ezidingweni zethu. ”… -Umlayezo weFatima, v Vatican.va
Ngaphandle kokungena engxabanweni esaqhubeka namuhla mayelana nokuthi "ukungcweliswa kweRussia" bekunjengoba bekucelile i-Our Lady, singasho, okungenani, ukuthi kwakuwukungcweliswa "okungaphelele". Njengale engayenza nendodana yami. Kwaze kwahlwa, futhi ngakwenza ngokuphelelwa yithemba… mhlawumbe hhayi ngamazwi engangingawasebenzisa eminyakeni edlule. Noma kunjalo, iZulu libonakala lilamukele njengoba lalinjalo, kanye noMthetho Wokuphathiswa kaJohn Paul II, ngoba okwenzeka eRussia kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuphawuleka kakhulu:
Ngomhla ziyi-13 kuNhlaba, esikhathini esingaphansi kwezinyanga ezimbili ngemva “Kwesenzo Sokuphathiswa” sikaJohn Paul II, esinye sezixuku ezinkulu emlandweni kaFatima sibuthana endaweni engcwele lapho ukuze sithandazele ukuthula ngeRosary. Ngosuku olufanayo, ukuqhuma e 
iSeveromorsk Naval Base yamaSoviet ibhubhisa izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zayo yonke imicibisholo egcinelwe iNorthern Fleet yaseSoviet. Lokhu kuqhuma kubhubhisa nezindawo zokusebenzela ezidingekayo ukugcina imicibisholo kanye namakhulu ososayensi nabachwepheshe. Ochwepheshe bezempi baseNtshonalanga bayibiza njengenhlekelele yempi yasolwandle embi kunazo zonke iSoviet Navy eye yabhekana nayo kusukela ngeWWII.

Njengoba nje indodana yami ibhekene noguquko olusebuhlungu njengoba uNkulunkulu embula futhi ephulukisa ukuphuka kwayo, kanjalo futhi, asekhona amakhona anothuli adinga ukushanelwa eRussia kusukela esivunguvungwini samashumi eminyaka sokubusa kwamaKhomanisi. Kodwa njengoba uGreg manje eba isibani sethemba kulabo abamzungezile, kanjalo futhi, iRussia isiba umsebe wokukhanya kokuntwela kokusa eNtshonalanga Yezwe, eye yawa kude nomusa:
Sibona amazwe amaningi e-Euro-Atlantic empeleni enqaba izimpande zawo, kuhlanganise nezindinganiso zobuKristu ezakha isisekelo
Impucuko yaseNtshonalanga. Baphika izimiso zokuziphatha nabo bonke ubunjalo bendabuko: ubuzwe, amasiko, ezenkolo ngisho nezocansi. Basebenzisa izinqubomgomo ezilinganisa imindeni emikhulu enobudlelwane bobulili obufanayo, ukukholelwa kuNkulunkulu nokukholelwa kuSathane… Futhi abantu bazama kanzima ukuthumela le modeli emhlabeni wonke. Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi lokhu kuvula indlela eqondile yokucekelwa phansi kanye ne-primitivism, okuholela enkingeni enkulu yezibalo kanye nokuziphatha. Yini enye ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa ikhono lokuzizala okungenzeka kube ubufakazi obukhulu benhlekelele yokuziphatha ebhekene nomphakathi wesintu? —UMongameli u-Vladimir Putin, inkulumo emhlanganweni wokugcina we-Valdai International Discussion Club, Septhemba 19, 2013; rt.com
Encwadini yezindaba enesihloko esithi, Ngabe iRussia Ingcweliselwe Enhliziyweni KaMariya Engaphelele?, UFr. UJoseph Iannuzzi uphinde aphawule:
• ERussia amakhulu amaBandla amasha akhiwa ngaphandle kwesidingo, futhi lawa asetshenziswayo manje asegcwele amakholwa.
• Amasonto aseRussia agcwele abathembekile kuze kube sekupheleni, futhi izindlu zezindela nezindela kugcwele abasha.
• UHulumeni waseRussia akamphiki uKristu, kodwa ukhuluma ngokukhululekile futhi ukhuthaza izikole ukuba zigcine ubuKristu bazo, futhi zifundise abafundi ikhathekizimu yazo.
• UHulumeni kanye neBandla bamemezela obala ukuthi ngeke babe yingxenye ye-European Union, ngoba i-EU isilahlekelwe izindinganiso zayo zokuziphatha kanye nobuKristu bayo, njengoba nabo benza ngaphambili ngaphansi kweSoviet Union; bashiya ukholo lwabo futhi baphika uKristu. Kulokhu bathi “akekho ozosisusa okholweni lwethu futhi siyoluvikela ukholo lwethu kuze kube sekufeni.”
• Uhulumeni waseRussia uye walugxeka ngokusobala “uhlelo olusha lomhlaba”.
• I-Russia yamemezela ukuthi izitabane ezikhuthaza i-ajenda azamukelwa futhi azivunyelwe ukwenza udwendwe, ingasaphathwa eyokungena emishadweni yezitabane. I-Russia yamemezela ukuthi noma yimuphi umfokazi ofuna ukuhlala eRussia uzocelwa: 1) ukufunda isiRashiya, 2) ukuba ngumKristu… (Qaphela kahle: Ngenkathi iRussia iningi lama-Orthodox Christian - banawo wonke amaSakramente ayi-7 iRoma ewavumayo njengasemthethweni,)
• Bavumela amanye amaKristu ukuba aveze ngokukhululekile futhi enze ukholo lwawo; kunamaSonto amaningana amaKatolika namaSheshi eMoscow.
• Ngo-2015, uNgqongqoshe Wezempilo e-Russia, u-Veronika Skvortsova kanye Nombhishobhi Wase-Russian Orthodox u-Kirill, basayine isivumelwano esiqeda ukuhushula isisu futhi esihlanganisa ukunakekelwa kwe-palliative kulo lonke elase-Russia. Sekukonke, akukho ukukhipha isisu okuvunyelwe eRussia.
Eqhathanisa iRussia nalokho okwenzeka eYurophu nakwamanye amazwe aseNtshonalanga, uFr. U-Iannuzzi uyabuza: “Ubani kulaba ababili okudingeka baguqulwe?”
Muva nje, ngibuze Ngabe Isango LaseMpumalanga Liyavulwa? Kungenye yezinto ezinethemba elikhulu engibe nenhlanhla yokubhala esikhathini esithile. Iminyaka eminingi, amazwi angaqondakali “Bheka EMpumalanga” bekusenhliziyweni yami. Ngokwesiko, iSonto liye labheka eMpumalanga lilindele Ukusa, “usuku lweNkosi,” ukufika kukaKristu. INkosikazi yethu iveze ukuthi kuzofika inkathi entsha, “inkathi yokuthula”, ngemva kokungcweliswa kweRussia enhliziyweni yayo Engaphelele. Nakulokhu, sizithola sibheke eMpumalanga—kokubili ngokomoya kanye nendawo-Ngokunqoba Kwenhliziyo Engaphelele, okuholela ngokungenakugwenywa Ekunqobeni Kwenhliziyo Engcwele kaJesu.
Esikubona eRussia (nalokho engikubona endodaneni yami) kungubufakazi obunamandla kimina bokuthi ukungathathi uJesu kuphela, kodwa uMama Wethu Obusisiwe ezinhliziyweni nasezindlini zethu, kungabaguqula. Ngoba ngubani obonakala elungisa, ahlele kabusha, futhi abuyisele ikhaya elingcono kunomama? Ingabe iNkosi Yethu yayingeyona eyokuqala ngqa ukuba ivumele uMariya unina?
[UJesu] ufuna ukusungula ekuzinikeleni komhlaba ku-My Immaculate Heart. Ngiyathembisa insindiso kulabo abakwamukelayo, futhi leyo miphefumulo izothandwa uNkulunkulu njengezimbali ezibekwe yimi ukuhlobisa isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi. -Lo mugqa wokugcina uthi: “izimbali” uvela kuma-akhawunti angaphambi kokubonakala kukaLucia. Cf. UFatima ngamagama kaLucia: Izikhumbuzo zikaDade Lucia, Louis Kondor, SVD, p, 187, inothi, 14.
Joseph, ndodana kaDavida, ungesabi ukuthatha uMariya umkakho amngenise endlini yakho. (Luka 1:20)
Kwathi uJesu ebona unina nomfundi amthandayo ekhona, wathi kunina: “Mame, nangu indodana yakho.” Wayesethi kumfundi: “Bheka unyoko.” Kusukela kulelo hora umfundi wamngenisa endlini yakhe. (Johane 19: 26-27)
