Ngoobani abasuka ngaphaya? umama kaDon Giuseppe Tomaselli
Kwincwadana yakhe ethi "Abafileyo bethu - Indlu yomntu wonke" u-Salesian Fr Giuseppe Tomaselli ubhala oku kulandelayo: "Ngomhla wesi-3 kuFebruwari 1944, ixhegokazi, elisondele kumashumi asibhozo, lasweleka. Ibingumama wam. Ndikwazile ukucinga ngomzimba wakhe kwicawe yamangcwaba, phambi kokungcwatywa. Ngoko ke mna ndacinga ukuba ndingumbingeleli: “Wena, mfazindini, ndide ndigwebe, akuzanga ugqithe mthetho kaThixo! Ndaye ndabuyela ekucingeni ngobomi bakhe.
Enyanisweni, umama wayengumzekelo kwaye ndinomsebenzi wobubingeleli inxalenye enkulu kuye. Yonke imihla wayesiya eMthendelekweni, kwanasebudaleni bakhe, ephethe isithsaba sabantwana bakhe. UMthendeleko wawuyimihla ngemihla. Akazange ayilibale iRosari. Unobubele, nokuba uphulukene neliso ngelixa usenza isenzo sobubele obugqibeleleyo kumfazi olihlwempu. Ndafaniswa nentando kaThixo, kangangokuba ndazibuza xa utata elele efile endlwini: Ndingathini kuYesu ngale mizuzu ukuze ndimkholise? — Phinda: Nkosi, mayenzeke intando yakho — Ekhukweni lokufa wafumana iisakramente zokugqibela ngokholo oluphilileyo. Kwiiyure ezimbalwa phambi kokuba aphelelwe, ebandezeleke kakhulu, waphinda wathi: Owu Yesu, ndingathanda ukukucela ukuba unciphise ukubandezeleka kwam! Kodwa andifuni kuyichasa iminqweno yenu; yenza ukuthanda kwakho!… - Wafa ngokunjalo laa mfazi wandizisa ehlabathini. Ndizisekela kumbono woBulungisa obuNgcwele, ndinikel’ ingqalelo encinane kwindumiso enokunikelwa ngabaqhelana nabo naBabingeleli ngokwabo, ndaziqinisa iivoti. Inani elikhulu leeMisa eziNgcwele, uthando oluninzi kwaye, naphi na apho ndandishumayela khona, ndandibongoza abathembekileyo ukuba benze iMithendeleko, imithandazo nemisebenzi emihle ngokufanelekileyo. UThixo wavumela umama ukuba abonakale. Umama wayesele eneminyaka emibini enesiqingatha eswelekile, ngequbuliso wavela egumbini, ekwimo yomntu. Kwakubuhlungu kakhulu.
-Undishiyile ePurgatory!… -
- Ngaba ukwindawo yeNtlambululo-miphefumlo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku? -
— Ndiselapho!… Umphefumlo wam ungqongwe bubumnyama kwaye andinakukubona ukuKhanya, okunguThixo… Ndisemgubasini weParadesi, ndisondele kuvuyo olungunaphakade, yaye ndiyaqaqanjelwa kukufuna ukungena kuyo; kodwa andikwazi! Kukangaphi ndisithi: Ukuba abantwana bam bebesazi intuthumbo yam eyoyikekayo, hayi indlela ebebeya kundinceda ngayo!
"Kwaye kwakutheni ukuze ungezi kuqala ukuze ulumkise?" -
“Ibingekho semandleni am. -
Aniyibonanga na iNkosi? -
- Nje ukuba ndiphelelwe, ndabona uThixo, kodwa kungekhona kuko konke ukukhanya kwakhe. -
"Singenza ntoni ukukhulula ngoku?" -
— Ndifuna uMthendeleko omnye kuphela. UThixo wandivumela ukuba ndize ndibuze. -
— Nje ukuba ungene eParadesi, buyela apha uze kuxela! -
— Ukuba iNkosi ithe yavuma!… Hayi indlela ukukhanya… hayi ubukhazikhazi!…—
Watsho wathi shwaka umbono. Kwabhiyozelwa iMisa ezimbini emva kosuku waphinda wavela, esithi: Ndingene eZulwini! -.
