UMARIYA KWIPROJEKTHI KATHIXO
Uthando olungagungqiyo lukaThixo uBawo lulungiselela uMariya kwasephakadeni ngendlela eyodwa, ukumgcina kubo bonke ububi, ukumdibanisa nomsitho woNyana.

O Yesu, ululamile kwaye uthobekile, sima embundwini waseBhetelehem kwaye sime kancinci sicinga: intaba yekratshi lethu ayingeni kwindawo emxinwa ye-grotto. Owu Yesu, ululamile kwaye uthobekile, thatha ikratshi lethu ezintliziyweni zethu, uthabathe ikratshi lethu, usinike intobeko yakho kwaye, wehla kwisiseko, siya kudibana nawe nabazalwana bethu; kwaye izakuba yiKrisimesi kwaye izakuba yipati!
