Intlungu yesithandathu:
UKUVUNA NOKUXHASA
UYesu wayefile, iintlungu zakhe zigqityiwe, kodwa azigqitywanga ngoMadonna; isabile ikrele. Ukuze uvuyo lomgqibelo olandelayo we-Ista ungaphazanyiswa, amaJuda abeka abagwebiweyo emnqamlezweni; ukuba bebengafanga, bababulala ngokwaphula amathambo abo. Ukufa kukaYesu kwakuqinisekile; nangona kunjalo elinye lamasoldati lasondela emnqamlezweni, wanika umkhonto wavula icala loMhlanguli; kwaphuma igazi namanzi kulo. Olu phehlelelo yayiyinto yokucaphukisa uYesu, yintlungu entsha yeNtombi Enyulu. Ukuba umama wayibona isitshetshe sinamathele esifubeni kunyana wakhe ofileyo, beya kuvakalelwa yintoni emphefumlweni wakhe? … Inenekazi lethu licinge ukuba isenzo esingenanceba kwaye uva Intliziyo yakhe idlula kuyo. Iinyembezi ezingakumbi zaphuma emehlweni akhe. Imiphefumlo enenceba yaba nomdla kwimvume evela kuPilato yokungcwaba umzimba kaYesu.Nentlonipho enkulu uMhlanguli wasuswa ngumnqamlezo. Inenekazi lethu lalinomzimba woNyana ezingalweni zakhe. Uhleli ezinyaweni zomnqamlezo, unentliziyo eyaphukileyo zintlungu, wacinga la malungu angamagazi angcwele. Wabona emqondweni wakhe ukuba nguYesu, umntwana onobubele, onothando, xa wamgubisayo ngesanga; wambona kwakhona njengomntu okwishumi elivisayo, xa wayenomdla kunye nomtsalane wakhe, oyena mhle wabantwana babantu; kwaye ngoku ejonge kuye engaphili, ekwimeko yosizi. Wandijonga isithsaba sameva esimanzi sinegazi kunye nezo zikhonkwane, izixhobo zePasile, wema ukuze acinge amanxeba! Ntombi esikelelekileyo, unike umhlaba wakho kuYesu ukuze usindiswe amadoda kwaye ujonge indlela amadoda enza ngayo kuwe! Ezo zizandla ezisikelelekileyo nezixhamlayo, ukungabi naluxabiso komntu kuzihlabile. Ezo nyawo zijikelezayo ukuya kwivangeli ziyenzakele! Obo buso, iiNgelosi ezijolise kubo ngokuzinikela, abantu babuyekisile ukungaqondwa! O nina bazinikeleyo bakaMariya, ukuze ingqalelo yeNtlungu enkulu yeNtombi ezinyaweni zoMnqamlezo ayilolize, masithabathe iziqhamo ezisebenzayo. Xa amehlo ethu ephumle kwi-Crucifix okanye kumfanekiso we-Madonna, siphinda sizingenise ngaphakathi kwaye sibonisa: Ngezono zam ndiwavulile amanxeba emzimbeni kaYesu kwaye ndenza Intliziyo kaMariya yakhala kwaye yopha! Masibeke izono zethu, ngakumbi ezona zinzulu, enxebeni likaYesu. Intliziyo kaYesu ivulekile, ukuze wonke umntu angenele kuyo; nangona kunjalo, ingenile ngoMariya. Umthandazo weNkosazana uyasebenza kakhulu; Bonke aboni banokuzonwabela iziqhamo zayo. Inenekazi lethu labongoza inceba kaThixo eCalvari ngenxa yesela elilungileyo kwaye bafumana ubabalo lokuya ezulwini ngalo mhla. Akukho mphefumlo uthandabuzayo ukulunga kukaYesu kunye neMadonna, nokuba yayigcwele yezona zono zikhulu.
