O Augustine, sibe ngabafundisi bobomi bangaphakathi; Sivumele ukuba sizibuyisele kuyo, kwaye xa siphinde sangena kwakhona kwimiphefumlo yethu sinokufumanisa ngaphakathi kuyo ukubonakaliswa, ubukho, isenzo sikaThixo, kwaye sihambile kwisimemo sendalo yethu yokwenyani, Ngokuthe nkqo ngakumbi kwimfihlelo yobabalo lwakhe, sinokufikelela kubulumko, oko kukuthi, ngengcinga eyiNyaniso, neNyaniso yoThando, ngothando ukuzala koBomi obunguThixo.
