Umphefumulo wami umemezela ubukhulu beNkosi; umoya wami uthokoza ngoNkulunkulu uMsindisi wami… (Luka 1: 46-47)

Ngasekuqaleni kwaleli sonto, ngibhale ngomehluko omkhulu phakathi kwabafel 'ukholo abangamaKristu nalabo abashisekeli ababhubhisa imindeni, amadolobha kanye nezimpilo ngegama "lenkolo." ^[1]qhathanisa UFakazi Ongumfelukholo Nakulokhu futhi, ubuhle bobuKrestu buhlala bucace bha lapho ubumnyama bwanda, lapho izithunzi zobubi bosuku ziveza ubuhle ukukhanya.

UKUGUQULWA KWEZWE

Bafowethu nodadewethu, ningakhohliswa ngumqambimanga ofisa ukuchaza iSonto ngezoni zalo kunabangcwele balo! Lokho wukuthi, ubuhle bokholo lwamaKhatholika butholwa kulabo abaphila ngalo, hhayi kulabo abangaluphili. Futhi le mpilo yokukholwa, njengezinto zesithelo, ikhiqize ubuhle obungenakuqhathaniswa emhlabeni. Iyiphi inkolo ekhiqize izingoma nezingoma ezimnandi kangaka zokukhulekela ngaphandle kobuKristu? Iyiphi inkolo echaze iplanethi ngobuciko obuhle kangaka kunobukristu? Iyiphi inkolo eguqule imithetho yezizwe, amasiko ahlanzekile, kanye nabantu abenza ukuthula ngaphezu kobuKristu? Kungani? Ngoba khona kanye enhliziyweni yobuKristu, ubuKatolika, nguNkulunkulu ngubani uthando, uthando olungenakuqondakala futhi isihe. Lokhu kukodwa kungenye yamaqiniso ahlukanisa kakhulu ahlukanisa ubuKrestu nazo zonke ezinye izinkolo: uNkulunkulu wethu ungumthandi ozithoba endalweni yaKhe hhayi ukusithanda kuphela, kodwa wasishada. Ngakho-ke, ubuKhatholika beqiniso abuyona impi enqobayo, kodwa yingoma yokudumisa; hhayi umbono kodwa ubuhlobo; hhayi uhlu lwemiyalo, kepha ukuthandana.

Intaba yakhe engcwele iphakama ngobuhle, intokozo yomhlaba wonke. Intaba iZiyoni, isigxobo sangempela somhlaba, idolobha leNkosi Enkulu! (IHubo 48: 2-3)

Njengoba uSt. Paul wababaza: "Ngeke kwenzeke ukuthi singakhulumi ngalokhu esikubonile nesikuzwile." ^[2]isib. Izenzo 4:20 Akunakwenzeka ukuthi umuntu amukelwe uthando lukaZiqu-zintathu angaluvumeli luqale ukuthinta zonke ezinye izici zokuphila kwabo.
