Indlela eya eSt. Pietro "iSt. Peters Basilica", IRoma, i-Italy
NGINGU ukuya eRoma. Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa nje, ngizoba nelungelo lokucula phambi kwabanye babangani bakaPapa John Paul II… uma kungenjalo uPapa uBenedict uqobo. Futhi-ke, ngibona sengathi lolu hambo lunenhloso ejulile, umsebenzi owandisiwe…
Bengilokhu ngizindla ngakho konke okwenzekile ngokubhala lapha ngonyaka odlule… Izilwane, Amacilongo Esixwayiso, isimemo kulabo abasezonweni ezifayo, isikhuthazo sokuthi ukunqoba ukwesaba kulezi zikhathi, futhi okokugcina, amasamanisi okubizelwa ku "idwala" nokuphephela kukaPeter esivunguvungwini esizayo.
Empeleni, kwangifikela izolo nje ukuthi ngiholelwe ukubhala ngoPeter nangeSonto ngeledlule, ngaphambi kokuya bheka "Peter" enhliziyweni yeSonto!
Siphila ezikhathini ezingavamile — izikhathi engikholelwa ukuthi zizoshintsha ngezindlela ezinkulu esikhathini esizayo esingekude kakhulu. Uma sibheka emuva, lokhu osekubhaliwe kuze kube manje kubonakala kufinyelela umvuthwandaba, kugijimela ngisho nasezikhathini zomlando. Kunjengokungathi kunjalo isikhathi yibhande elikhulu lokunwebeka, futhi sekuzokwenzeka snap- lapho kukhuphuka imithandazo ngokungazelelwe, uMercy uyawa, nokunwebeka kukhululeke… isikhashana, okungenani.
Namuhla kusihlwa, nginibonga kakhulu nonke enibhale ngenkuthazo, iziqinisekiso, ukuqonda, futhi ikakhulukazi imithandazo. Yazi ukuthi ngizonithwala, bafundi, ngenhliziyo yami siye eRoma. Sisohambweni ndawonye, futhi ngiyazi ukuthi inhloso yami yalolu hambo ifaka wena ngandlela thile. (Uma ngithola ikhompyutha kwenye indawo emigedeni yamangcwaba, ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi ngingahle ngibe negama noma amabili engizokubhalela ngawo kula masonto amabili.)
Ngicela ningikhulekele… endleleni eya eRoma.
