3 Imithandazo yokufumana ukuzola, ukuphilisa noxolo
Umthandazo wobungcwele yenye yezona zinto zithandwayo nezaziwa kakhulu. Nangona ilula ngokungaqhelekanga, ichaphazele ubomi obungenakubalwa, ukubanika amandla kunye nesibindi sikaThixo kumlo wabo wokoyisa iziyobisi ezilawula ubomi.
Lo mthandazo ukwabizwa ngokuba ngumthandazo wamanqanaba ali-12, umthandazo ongaziwayo wotywala okanye umthandazo wokubuyisela kwimeko yesiqhelo.
Umthandazo woxolo
Thixo, ndinike ukuzola kwe
zamkela izinto endingenakuzitshintsha,
isibindi sokutshintsha izinto endinako
kunye nobulumko bokwazi umahluko.
Phila usuku olunye ngexesha,
Yonwabela umzuzwana omnye ngexesha,
Yamkela ubunzima njengendlela yoxolo,
Thatha, njengoko uYesu wenzayo,
Eli lizwe linesono njengokuba linjalo,
Hayi indlela endiya kwenza ngayo
Ndithembe ukuba uza kulungisa zonke izinto,
Ukuba ndinikezela ngentando yakho,
ukuze ndonwabe ngokubu bomi,
kwaye ndonwabe kakhulu
ngonaphakade olandelayo
Amen.

Umthandazo wokuchacha kunye nokuphiliswa
Nkosi ethandekayo yeNceba noyise weNtuthuzelo,
Nguwe endijika kuye ndicela uncedo ngamaxesha obuthathaka nangamaxesha anzima. Ndicela ukuba ube nam kwesi sifo nokubandezeleka.
Indumiso 107: 20 ithi uthumela iLizwi lakho kwaye uphilise abantu bakho. Ke ndicela undithumelele igama lakho lokuphilisa ngoku. Ngegama likaYesu, ususa zonke izifo kunye neenkxwaleko emzimbeni wakhe.
Nkosi ethandekayo, ndiyakucela ukuba ubuguqule obu buthathaka bube namandla, obu bunzima bube yimfesane, iintlungu ube ngovuyo kunye nentlungu ibe kukuthuthuzela abanye. Ngamana mna, mkhonzi wakho, ndithembele ngokulunga kwakho nangethemba lakho ukuthembeka kwakho, nditsho naphakathi kwalo mzabalazo. Ndizalise ngomonde kunye novuyo ebusweni bakho njengoko ndiphefumla kubomi bakho bokuphilisa.
Ndicela undibuyisele ekugqibeleleni. Susa lonke uloyiko kunye nentandabuzo entliziyweni yam ngamandla oMoya oyiNgcwele kwaye ngamana wena, Nkosi ungazukiswa ebomini bam.
Njengoko undiphilisa kwaye undivuselela, Nkosi, ndingakusikelela ndikudumise.
Yonke le nto ndiyathandaza ngegama likaYesu Krestu.
Amen.
Umthandazo woxolo
Lo mthandazo waziwayo woxolo ngumzekelo ongumKristu ongumzekelo weSanta uFrancis wase Assisi (1181-1226).
Ndenzele isixhobo soxolo, Ndikhoyo.
apho kukho intiyo, ndingahlwayela uthando;
kwimeko yokonzakala, uxolo;
apho kukho intandabuzo, ukholo;
apho ukuphelelwa lithemba, ithemba;
apho bukhona ubumnyama, ukukhanya;
kwaye apho kukho usizi, uvuyo.
Ewe Mnumzana oMkhulu,
ndinike ithuba lokuba ndingazami kakhulu ukuthuthuzelwa;
ukuqondwa, indlela yokuqonda;
ukuthandwa, ukuthanda ukuthanda;
kuba ekunikezeleni ngezinto esizamkelayo,
sikuxolelo ukuba sixolelwe,
kungokufa kwethu ukuba sizalelwe ubomi obungenasiphelo.
Amen.
-USt. Francis waseAssisi
