Usuku Lobulungiswa

 

Ngabona iNkosi uJesu, njengenkosi ebukhazikhazini obukhulu, ibheke phansi emhlabeni ngamandla amakhulu; kepha ngenxa yokuncengela kukanina, walula isikhathi somusa wakhe… Angifuni ukujezisa isintu esibuhlungu, kodwa ngifisa ukusiphilisa, ngisicindezele kuNhliziyo Yami Enesihe. Ngisebenzisa ukujezisa lapho bona bengiphoqa ukuba ngenze njalo; Isandla sami sinqena ukubamba inkemba yezobulungiswa. Ngaphambi kosuku lobulungiswa, ngithumela usuku lomusa… Ngenza isikhathi somusa ngenxa [yezoni]. Kepha maye kubo uma bengasiboni lesi sikhathi sokuhanjelwa Kwami… 
—UJesu kuya eSt Faustina, Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, IDayari, n. 126I, 1588, 1160

 

AS ukukhanya kokuqala kokuntwela kokusa kudlule ngefasitela lami namhlanje ekuseni, ngazithola sengiboleka umkhuleko kaSt. Faustina: “O Jesu wami, khuluma nemiphefumulo ngokwakho, ngoba amazwi ami awasho lutho.”^[1]Idayari, n. 1588 Lesi yisihloko esinzima kepha asikwazi ukusigwema ngaphandle kokulimaza wonke umyalezo wamaVangeli kanye neNkambiso Engcwele. Ngizodweba kokuningi engikubhalile ukunikeza isifinyezo soSuku Lwezobulungisa olusondelayo. 

 

USUKU LOBULUNGISA

Umlayezo wesonto eledlule ku-Divine Mercy awuphelele ngaphandle komongo wawo omkhulu: "Ngaphambi kosuku lobulungiswa, ngithumela usuku lomusa…" ^[2]Idayari, n. 1588 Uma njengamanje siphila “esikhathini somusa,” kusho lokho lesi “sikhathi” sizophela. Uma siphila "kuSuku Lomusa," khona-ke luzoba nalo qaphelani ngaphambi kokuqala 'koSuku Lokulunga.' Ukuthi abaningi eSontweni bafisa ukungasinaki lesi sici somlayezo kaKristu ngo-St Faustina kuwukusabalalisa izigidigidi zemiphefumulo (bona Ingabe Ungasinaki Isambulo Sangasese?). 

Njengoba nje iMisa lomlindelo kusihlwa lilandela iSonto — “usuku lweNkosi” —njalo-ke namaqiniso asikisela ngokuqinile ukuthi kuze kube ngumlindo wakusihlwa woSuku Lomusa, ukuhwalala kwale nkathi. Njengoba sibuka ubusuku benkohliso busabalala emhlabeni wonke nemisebenzi yobumnyama yanda—ukukhipha isisu, uhlanga, ukunqunywa amakhanda, ukudutshulwa kwabantu abaningi, ubuphekula ukuqhuma kwamabhomu, izithombe zobulili ezingcolile, ukuhweba komuntu, izindandatho zocansi lwezingane, imibono yezobulili, izifo zocansi, izikhali zokubhujiswa okukhulu, ubushiqela kwezobuchwepheshe, ukuhlukunyezwa kwabefundisi, ukuhlukunyezwa kwezinkonzo, ubungxiwankulu obunganqandeki, “ukubuya” kobuKhomanisi, ukufa kwenkululeko yokukhuluma, ukushushiswa ngesihluku, Jihad, ukukhuphuka kwamazinga okuzibulala, Kanye ukubhujiswa kwemvelo kanye neplanethi… Akucaci yini ukuthi yithina, hhayi uNkulunkulu, esidala iplanethi yosizi?

Umbuzo weNkosi: "Wenzeni?", Okungeke kuphunyuke uKayini, kubhekiswe nakubantu banamuhla, ukubenza babone ubukhulu nokuhlaselwa kokuhlaselwa kwempilo okuqhubeka kuphawula umlando wesintu ... Noma ngubani ohlasela impilo yomuntu , ngandlela thile uhlasela uNkulunkulu uqobo. —I-POPE ST. UJOHANE PAUL II, I-Evangelium Vitae; n. 10

Ubusuku esizenzele bona.  

Namuhla, yonke into imnyama, inzima, kepha noma ngabe ibuphi ubunzima esibhekene nabo, kunoMuntu oyedwa kuphela ongasisiza. —UKhadinali Robert Sarah, okwaxoxwa naye UValeurs Actuelles, Mashi 27th, 2019; kucashunwe ku- Ngaphakathi kweVatican, Ephreli 2019, k. 11

Lokhu SikaNkulunkulu indalo. Lokhu Akhe umhlaba! Unamalungelo onke, ngemuva kokusebenzisa wonke umusa kithi, ukusebenzisa ubulungiswa. Ku shaya impempe. Ukusho okwanele kwanele. Kepha futhi uyasihlonipha isipho esesabekayo nesesabekayo "senkululeko" yethu. Ngakho-ke, 

Ningakhohliswa; UNkulunkulu akahlekwa, ngoba noma yini umuntu ayihlwanyelayo, uyovuna yona futhi. (Galathiya 6: 7)

Ngakho, 

UNkulunkulu uzothumela izijeziso ezimbili: esisodwa siyoba ngesimo sezimpi, imibhikisho nokunye okubi; uyakuvela emhlabeni [Umuntu uvuna akutshalile]. Omunye uzothunyelwa evela eZulwini. -Ungu-Ana Maria Taigi, uBlessed, Isiprofetho samaKatolika, Ikhasi 76 

… Masingasho ukuthi nguNkulunkulu osijezisa ngale ndlela; Ngokuphambene nalokho ngabantu uqobo abalungiselela ukujeziswa kwabo. Ngomusa wakhe uNkulunkulu uyasixwayisa futhi usibizele endleleni eyiyo, ebe ehlonipha inkululeko asinike yona; yingakho abantu benesibopho. –Sr. Lucia, omunye wababonisi bakaFatima, encwadini ayibhalele uBaba oNgcwele, ngoMeyi 12, 1982; v Vatican.va 

Emva kweminyaka engama-2000, isikhathi sesifikile sokuthi uNkulunkulu asebenze nalabo abahlanganyela ngamabomu emisebenzini ye uSathane futhi wenqabe ukuphenduka. Kungakho izinyembezi zegazi no-oyela zigobhozela phansi izithonjana nezifanekiso emhlabeni wonke:

Yilesi isinqumo, ukuthi ukukhanya kweza emhlabeni, kepha abantu bakhetha ubumnyama kunokukhanya, ngoba imisebenzi yabo imibi. (Johane 3:19)

Lokhu kufanele sivuse kusuka esimweni sethu sokudangala. Lokhu kufanele kusenze sibheke ukuthi izinto esizifunda ezindabeni zansuku zonke "azivamile." Lezi zinto, empeleni, zenza izingelosi zithuthumele lapho zibona ubuntu bungaphenduki nje kuphela, kepha buziphonsa phansi kubo. 

Kunqunywe usuku lwezobulungiswa, usuku lolaka lukaNkulunkulu. Izingelosi ziyathuthumela phambi kwaso. Khuluma nemiphefumulo ngalesi sihawu esikhulu ngenkathi kusesesisikhathi sokunikeza isihe.  -NgokukaNkulunkulu kuya eSt Faustina, Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, Idayari, n. 635

Yebo, ngiyazi, "ukwahlulela" akuwona umyalezo ophambili "Wezindaba Ezinhle." UJesu ucacisa kaninginingi kuSt Faustina, ukuthi ubelokhu eselulela lesi “sikhathi somusa” esikhona emlandweni wesintu ukuzeisoni esikhulu kunazo zonke ” ^[3]qhathanisa Isiphephelo Esikhulu Netheku Eliphephile angabuyela kuYe. Ukuthi noma umphefumulo wonanibe njengokubomvu, ” Ukulungele ukuthethelela konke futhi uphulukise amanxeba akho. Ngisho naseTestamenteni Elidala, siyayazi inhliziyo kaNkulunkulu mayelana nesoni esenziwe lukhuni:

… Noma ngithi kwababi ukuthi bazokufa, uma bebuya esonweni, benze okulungile nokulungile - bebuyisa izithembiso, bebuyisa impahla eyebiwe, behamba ngezimiso eziletha impilo, bengenzi lutho olubi - bayakuphila ngokuqinisekile; abayikufa. (UHezekeli 33: 14-15)

Kepha umBhalo ucacile nakulabo abaphikelela esonweni:

Uma sona ngamabomu ngemuva kokuthola ulwazi lweqiniso, akusekho umhlatshelo wezono kodwa ithemba elesabekayo lokwahlulelwa nomlilo ovuthayo ozodla abaphikisi. (Heb 10:26)

Leli “themba elesabekayo” yingakho izingelosi zithuthumela ngoba lolu Suku Lwezobulungisa selusondele. Njengoba uJesu asho eVangelini layizolo:

Okholwa eNdodaneni unokuphila okuphakade; kepha ongayilaleli iNdodana ngeke akubone ukuphila, kepha ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lumi phezu kwakhe. (Johane 3:36)

Usuku Lobulungiswa lugcinelwe labo abenqaba uthando nesihe sikaNkulunkulu ngenxa yenjabulo, imali namandla. Kodwa, futhi lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu, futhi lusuku luka isibusiso okweBandla. Ngiqonde ukuthini?

 

USUKU ... ALULONA USUKU

Sinikezwa “isithombe esikhulu” esivela eNkosini yethu mayelana nokuthi luyini lolu Suku Lwezobulungiswa:

Khuluma emhlabeni ngesihe Sami; bonke abantu mabaqaphele isihe Sami esingenakulinganiswa. Kuyisibonakaliso sezikhathi zokuphela; emva kwayo kuzofika uSuku lwezoBulungiswa. —UJesu kuya eSt Faustina, Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, Idayari, n. 848 

Ngokomongo "wezikhathi zokuphela", uSuku Lwezobulungisa luyafana nalokho iSiko elikubiza ngokuthi "usuku lweNkosi." Lokhu kuqondwa "njengosuku" lapho uJesu eza "ukwahlulela abaphilayo nabafileyo", njengoba sifunda eNkolweni yethu.^[4]qhathanisa Izahlulelo Zokugcina Ngenkathi amaKrestu amaVangeli ekhuluma ngalokhu njengezinsuku ezingamashumi amabili nane - ngokoqobo, usuku lokugcina emhlabeni — oFata beSonto Lokuqala bafundisa okuthile okuhluke ngokuphelele ngokususelwa enkambisweni yomlomo neyabhalwa eyadluliselwa kubo:

Bheka, uSuku lweNkosi luyakuba yiminyaka eyinkulungwane. —Ingxenye kaBarnaba, Obaba beBandla, Ch. 15

Futhi,

… Lolu suku lwethu, oluboshwe ekuphumeni nasekushoneni kwelanga, luyisibonakaliso salolo suku olukhulu umjikelezo weminyaka eyinkulungwane uncike ngalo emikhawulweni yawo. —ULactantius, Obaba beSonto: I-Divine Institutes, iNcwadi VII, Isahluko 14, Catholic Encyclopedia; www.newadvent.org

“Iminyaka eyinkulungwane” abakhuluma ngayo iseSahlukweni 20 seNcwadi yeSambulo futhi kukhulunywa ngayo iSt Peter enkulumweni yakhe ngosuku lokwahlulela:

… NeNkosi usuku olulodwa lufana neminyaka eyinkulungwane, neminyaka eyinkulungwane injengosuku olulodwa. (2 Pet. 3: 8)

Empeleni, “iminyaka eyinkulungwane” ifanekisela “isikhathi sokuthula” noma lokho uBaba beSonto abakubiza ngokuthi “ukuphumula kwesabatha.” Babona iminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezine yokuqala yomlando wesintu ngaphambi kukaKristu, bese kuthi emuva kweminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili, baholele osukwini lwanamuhla, njengokufanisa “izinsuku eziyisithupha” zokudala. Ngosuku lwesikhombisa, uNkulunkulu waphumula. Ngakho-ke, lapho kudwetshwa ukufanekiswa kukaSt. Peter, oFata babona…

… Kube sengathi kuyinto enhle ukuthi abangcwele ngaleyo ndlela bajabulele uhlobo lokuphumula kweSabatha ngaleyo nkathi, ukuzilibazisa okungcwele ngemuva kokusebenza iminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha selokhu umuntu wadalwa… (futhi) kufanele kulandele ukuqedwa kweminyaka eyisithupha iminyaka eyinkulungwane, njengasezinsukwini eziyisithupha, uhlobo lweSabatha lwezinsuku eziyisikhombisa eminyakeni eyinkulungwane elandelayo ... Futhi lo mbono wawungeke uphikiswe, uma bekukholelwa ukuthi injabulo yabangcwele, kulelo Sabatha, izoba ngeyokomoya, bese kulandela ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu… —USt. U-Augustine waseHippo (354-430 AD; Udokotela weSonto), uDe Civitate Dei, Bk. XX, uCh. 7, iCatholic University of America Press

Futhi yilokho kanye uNkulunkulu akugcinele iSonto: isipho “sikamoya” esihambisana nokuthululwa okusha kukaMoya ukuze “uvuselele ubuso bomhlaba.” 

Noma kunjalo, lokhu kuphumula kuzoba kungenzeki ngaphandle kokuthi kwenzeke izinto ezimbili. Njengoba uJesu adlulisela kwiNceku kaNkulunkulu uLuisa Piccarreta:

… Ukujeziswa kuyadingeka; lokhu kuzosebenzela ukulungisa inhlabathi ukuze uMbuso we-Fiat ePhakeme [iNtando Yaphezulu] wakheke phakathi komndeni wesintu. Ngakho-ke, izimpilo eziningi, ezizoba yisithiyo ekunqobeni uMbuso wami, zizonyamalala ebusweni bomhlaba… —Idayari, Septhemba 12, 1926; Umqhele weSanctity Ekuambulweni kukaJesu kuLuisa Piccarreta, UDaniel O'Connor, k. 459

Okokuqala, uKrestu kumele aqede uhlelo lokulawula nokubusa lomhlaba jikelele olungamesabi uNkulunkulu elihlanganisa masinyane wonke umhlaba emandleni alo (bona Ukulungiswa Okukhulu). Lolu hlelo yilokho uSt. John alibiza "ngesilo." NjengoMama Wethu, i “Owesifazane embethe ilanga futhi wathweswa umqhele ngezinkanyezi eziyishumi nambili” ^[5]isib. IsAm 12: 1-2 ingumuntu weSonto, "isilo" sizothola ukwenziwa samuntu "endodaneni yokulahlwa" noma "Umphikukristu." Yile "oda lomhlaba omusha" "nomuntu ongenamthetho" okumele uKristu amchithe ukuze kuvulwe "inkathi yokuthula."

Isilo esikhuphukayo siyisibonelo sobubi namanga, ukuze amandla agcweleyo okuhlubuka akumbathisa aphonswe esithandweni somlilo.  —St. U-Irenaeus waseLyons, uBaba weSonto (140- 202 AD); Ama-Adersus Haereses, 5, 29

Lokhu kuzoqala “usuku lwesikhombisa” oluzolandelwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi “ngolwesishiyagalombili” futhi okuphakade usuku, okungukuphela komhlaba. 

… INdodana yakhe izofika ibhubhise isikhathi somuntu ongenamthetho, yahlulele abangamhloniphi uNkulunkulu, iguqule ilanga nenyanga nezinkanyezi, khona-ke uyophumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa…. ukuqala kosuku lwesishiyagalombili, okungukuthi, ukuqala kwelinye izwe. —I-Letter of uBarnaba (70-79 AD), eyabhalwa uBaba WabaPhostoli wekhulu lesibili

Lesi sahlulelo somphik'ukristu nabalandeli bakhe, isahlulelo "sabaphilayo", sichazwa ngale ndlela elandelayo:  

Lapho-ke uzokwembulwa ongenamthetho, futhi iNkosi uJesu izombulala ngomoya womlomo wayo imbulale ngokuvela kwakhe nangokuza kwakhe. (2 Thesalonika 2: 8)

Yebo, ngokukhukhumala kwezindebe zakhe, uJesu uzokuqeda ukuzikhukhumeza kosozigidigidi bomhlaba, osomabhange, nabaphathi abavuselela indalo ngomfanekiso wabo ngokungagodli:

Mesabe uNkulunkulu futhi umnike inkazimulo, ngoba isikhathi sakhe sesifikile sokuthi ahlulele […]… IBhabhiloni elikhulu [futhi]… noma ngubani okhonza isilo noma umfanekiso waso, noma owemukela uphawu lwaso ebunzini noma esandleni… Ngase ngibona amazulu evuleka, futhi kwakukhona ihhashi elimhlophe; umgibeli walo wabizwa ngokuthi “Othembekile noqinisileyo.” Wahlulela futhi alwe ngokulunga… Isilo sabanjwa kanye nomprofethi wamanga kanye nabo… Bonke abanye babulawa ngenkemba eyaphuma emlonyeni walowo owayegibele ihhashi… (IsAm 14: 7-10, 19:11) (20-21)

Lokhu kuphinde futhi kwaprofethwa ngu-Isaya owabikezela ngokufanayo, ngolimi oluhambisanayo, isahlulelo esizayo esalandelwa inkathi yokuthula. 

Uyakushaya ononya ngenduku yomlomo wakhe, abulale omubi ngomoya wezindebe zakhe. Ubulungisa buyakuba yibhande okhalweni lwakhe, nokuthembeka kube yibhande okhalweni lwakhe. Impisi-ke iyakuba yisivakashi sewundlu… umhlaba ugcwale ulwazi ngoJehova, njengamanzi asibekela ulwandle…. Ngalolo suku, iNkosi izophinde ikubambe ngesandla ukubuyisa insali yabantu bayo abasele… Lapho ukwahlulela kwakho kufika emhlabeni, abakhileyo emhlabeni bafunda ubulungiswa. (Isaya 11: 4-11; 26: 9)

Lokhu kungenisa ngempumelelo ukuphela komhlaba, kodwa kusasa Losuku lweNkosi lapho uKristu ezobusa khona in Abangcwele bakhe ngemuva kukaSathane baboshwe emgodini ongelamkhawulo usuku lonke noma “iminyaka eyinkulungwane” (cf IsAm 20: 1-6 no Ukuvuswa KweSonto).

 

USUKU LOKUVALISELWA

Ngakho-ke, akulona usuku lokwahlulela kuphela, kodwa usuku lwe ukuqinisekiswa leZwi likaNkulunkulu. Ngempela, izinyembezi zeNkosikazi Yethu akuzona nje kuphela ukudabuka kwabangaphenduki, kodwa ziyinjabulo “ngokunqoba” okuzayo. Ngoba bobabili u-Isaya no-St John bayafakaza ukuthi, ngemuva kwesahlulelo esinzima, kuza inkazimulo nobuhle obusha uNkulunkulu afisa ukubunika iSonto esigabeni sokugcina sohambo lwakhe lwasemhlabeni:

Izizwe ziyakubona ukulunga kwakho, nawo onke amakhosi inkazimulo yakho; Uyakubizwa ngegama elisha elishiwo ngomlomo kaJehova ... Onqobayo ngizomnika imana elifihlekile; Ngizonikeza nentelezi emhlophe okuqoshwe kuyo igama elisha, okungekho owaziyo ngaphandle kwalowo olitholayo. (Isaya 62: 1-2; IsAm 2:17)

Okuzayo empeleni ukugcwaliseka kwe- UPater Noster, "uBaba wethu" esikhuleka nsuku zonke: “Umbuso wakho mawuze, wakho kuzokwenziwa, emhlabeni njengasezulwini. ” Ukuza koMbuso kaKristu kuyahambisana nentando yakhe ayenziwayo "Njengasezulwini." ^[6]"… Nsuku zonke emthandazweni kaBaba Wethu sicela iNkosi: “Intando yakho mayenziwe emhlabeni njengasezulwini” (Math 6:10)…. siyabona ukuthi “izulu” kulapho intando kaNkulunkulu yenziwa khona, nokuthi “umhlaba” uba “yizulu” —eyi, indawo yobukhona bothando, ubuhle, iqiniso nebuhle bukaNkulunkulu — kuphela uma emhlabeni intando kaNkulunkulu yenziwe.”—UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, General Audience, ngoFebhuwari 1, 2012, eVatican City Ngiyasithanda isihlokwana sikaDaniel O'Connor incwadi entsha enamandla ngale ndaba:

Eminyakeni Eyizinkulungwane Ezimbili Kamuva, Umthandazo Omkhulu Kunayo Yonke Ngeke Uphendulwe.

Lokho u-Adamu no-Eva abakulahla ensimini — okungukuthi, i- ukuhlangana kwentando yabo neNtando Yaphezulu, okwenze ukubambisana kwabo ezinhlelweni ezingcwele zendalo — kuzobuyiselwa eSontweni.

UJesu wembulela iNceku kaNkulunkulu uLuisa Piccaretta uhlelo Lwakhe lwenkathi elandelayo, lolu “suku lwesikhombisa”, lokhu “kuphumula kwesabatha” noma “emini” yoSuku lweNkosi: 

Ngakho-ke ngifisa ukuthi izingane Zami zifake Ubuntu Bami bese zikopisha okwenziwe yi-Soul of Myityity in Divine Divine… Njengoba zikhula ngaphezu kwendalo yonke, zizobuyisela amalungelo weNdalo- eyami kanye naleyo yezidalwa.

Ngamafuphi, uJesu ufisa ukuthi abakhe impilo yangaphakathi abe yilowo woMlobokazi waKhe ukuze amenze “Engenabala noma mibimbi noma yini enjalo, ukuze abe ngcwele futhi angabi nasici.” ^[7]I-Eph 5: 27 KwiVangeli lanamuhla, sifunda ukuthi impilo yangaphakathi kaKristu empeleni yayiyinhlanganyelo noBaba kuYe Intando Yakhe: "UBaba ohlezi kimi wenza imisebenzi yakhe." ^[8]John 14: 10

Ngenkathi ukuphelela kugcinelwe iZulu, kukhona inkululeko ethile yendalo, eqala ngomuntu, lokho kuyingxenye yecebo likaNkulunkulu leNkathi Yokuthula:

Ngakho-ke isenzo esiphelele sohlelo lokuqala loMdali sachazwa: indalo lapho uNkulunkulu nendoda, owesilisa nowesifazane, ubuntu nemvelo kuyavumelana, kungxoxo, ekuhlanganyeleni.

Ngakho-ke, lapho sikhuluma ngoKristu eza e kusasa Losuku lweNkosi lokuhlanzwa nokuvuselelwa komhlaba, sikhuluma ngo Ingaphakathi Ukuza koMbuso kaKristu ngaphakathi kwemiphefumulo ngazinye okuyobonakala ngokoqobo empucukweni yothando, lokho okwesikhashana (“iminyaka eyinkulungwane”), okuyoletha ubufakazi futhi kugcwele ububanzi weVangeli kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba. Ngempela, uJesu wathi, “leli vangeli lobukhosi izoshunyayelwa emhlabeni wonke, kube ngubufakazi ezizweni zonke; khona-ke ukuphela kuyofika. ” ^[9]UMathewu 24: 14

… Uma sifunda isikhashana nje izimpawu zesikhathi samanje, izimpawu ezesabekayo zesimo sethu sezepolitiki kanye nokuvukelwa, kanye nenqubekela phambili yempucuko kanye nokukhula phambili kobubi, okuhambelana nenqubekela phambili yempucuko nokutholakele kokuqukethwe ukuhleleka, asikwazi ukwehluleka ukubona kusondele ukufika komuntu wesono, nangezinsuku zencithakalo eyabikezelwa nguKristu.  -Ukuphela Kwezwe Lamanje Nezimfihlakalo Zempilo Yesikhathi Esizayo, UFr. UCharles Arminjon (1824-1885), k. 58; ISophia Institute Press

Nokho, Umphikukristu akulona izwi lokugcina. Ababi abaphethe amandla njengamanje akusilo izwi lokugcina. Abakhi beli siko lokufa akusilo igama lokugcina. Abashushisi abashayela ubuKrestu emhlabathini akusilo izwi lokugcina. Cha, uJesu Kristu neZwi lakhe bayizwi lokugcina. Ukugcwaliseka kukaBaba Wethu yizwi lokugcina. Ubunye babo bonke ngaphansi koMalusi oyedwa yizwi lokugcina. 

Ngabe kunokwethenjelwa ngempela yini ukuthi usuku lapho bonke abantu bezohlanganiswa kulobu bumbano obukade kukudala luyoba lapho amazulu eyodlula ngodlame olukhulu - ukuthi isikhathi lapho iSishoshovu Sesonto singena ngokugcwele sizoqondana naleso sokugcina inhlekelele? Ngabe uKristu ubengaletha ukuthi iSonto lizalwe kabusha, ebukhazikhazini bakhe nakubo bonke ubukhazikhazi bobuhle balo, kuphela ukuba lome masinyane iziphethu zobusha bakhe nokuqina kwakhe okungapheli?… Umbono onegunya kunawo wonke, nalowo obonakala okuhambisana kakhulu nomBhalo Ongcwele, ngukuthi, ngemuva kokuwa koMphikukristu, iSonto LamaKatolika lizophinde lingene enkathini yokuchuma nokunqoba. —Fr. UCharles Arminjon, Ibid., K. 58, 57
