Intlungu yesixhenxe:
UKUZALWA KWAYESU
UJoseph waseArimathiya, isigqeba esihloniphekileyo, wayefuna ukuba nembeko yokungcwaba umzimba kaYesu kwaye wanika ingcwaba elitsha, elaliqoshwe kwilitye eliphilileyo, kude kufuphi nalapho wayebethelelwe khona iNkosi. Wathenga isigqubuthelo sokusonga amalungu angcwele. UYesu ofileyo wathuthwa ngembeko ephezulu ukuya emngcwabeni; kwenziwa umngcelele olusizi: abanye abafundi bathwala isidumbu, abafazi abanyanisekileyo bayalandelwa, bafuduka kwaye phakathi kwabo yayinguVirgin of Sorrows; nkqu neeNgelosi zazithweswe isithsaba ngokungabonakaliyo. Isidumbu sabekwa engcwabeni kwaye, phambi kokuba sisongelwe esigqubutheni kwaye sibotshwe ngamabhandeji, uMary wanika uYesu okokugqibela.Owu, indlela uMadonna ebengathanda ngayo ukuhlala engcwatyiwe noNyana oyiNgcwele, ukuze angalahli yena! Ukuhlwa kwakuqhubeka kwaye kwafuneka ukuba bashiye ingcwaba. USanta Bonaventure uthi uMariya ekubuyeni kwakhe wadlula kuloo ndawo apho uMnqamlezo wawusakhuliswe khona; Ndiza kumjonga ngothando nangentlungu ndize ndilange eli Gazi loNyana oyiNgcwele, elimenze wamfusa. I-Addolorata yabuyela ekhaya kunye noJohn, umpostile othandekayo. Lo mama ulihlwempu wayexhwalekile kwaye elusizi, utshilo uSanta Bernard, kangangokuba wafudukela apho wayedlula khona. Intlungu yentliziyo bubusuku bokuqala bomama olahlekelwe ngumntwana; ubumnyama nokuthula kukhokelela ekubonakaliseni nasekuvukeni kweenkumbulo. Ngobo busuku, utshilo uSt. Alphonsus, uMadonna akazange akwazi ukuphumla kwaye iziganeko ezoyikekayo zosuku zabuyela ezingqondweni zakhe. Kwindlu yozakuzo enjalo womelezwa kukufana kokuthanda kukaThixo kunye nethemba eliqinisekileyo lovuko olusondeleyo. Masiqwalasele ukuba ukufa kuyakufika nakuthi; siyakubekwa engcwabeni kwaye apho siyakulinda uvuko kwindalo iphela. Ingcinga yokuba umzimba wethu kuya kufuneka uphinde uvuke ngobuqaqawuli, kungabakho ukukhanya ebomini, intuthuzelo kwizilingo kunye nokusixhasa esiphelweni sokufa. Masithathele ingqalelo ukuba iNenekazi lethu, lisuka engcwabeni, lashiya Intliziyo yakhe ingcwatyiwe nekaYesu.Nathi sizingcwaba iintliziyo zethu, kunye nothando lwakhe, entliziyweni ka Yesu.Ukuphila nokufa kuYesu; ukungcwatywa noYesu, ukuvuka kwakhona kunye naye.Ingcwaba eligcine uMzimba kaYesu iintsuku ezintathu luphawu lwentliziyo yethu egcina uYesu ephila kwaye eyinyani noMthendeleko oNgcwele. Le ngcinga ikhunjulwa kwisikhululo sokugqibela seVia Crucis, xa kusithiwa: Owu Yesu, mandikwamkele ngokufanelekileyo kuMthendeleko oNgcwele! -Sicamngce ngeentlungu ezisixhenxe zikaMariya. Ngamana inkumbulo yento uMama wethu awasokola ngayo kuthi ihlale ikhona kuthi. Umama wethu oseZulwini unqwenela ukuba ooNyana bangazilibali iinyembezi zakhe. Ngo-1259 wabonakala kubantu abasixhenxe abazinikele kuye, abathi kamva baba ngabaseki bebandla labakhonzi bakaMariya; wabanika ingubo emnyama, esithi ukuba bafuna ukumkholisa, baya kuhlala becamngca ngeentlungu zakhe kwaye bekhumbula bona baya kunxiba loo ngubo imnyama njengengubo. Ntombikazi yeNtlungu, zibethelele ezintliziyweni nasezingqondweni zethu inkumbulo yokuKhathazeka kukaYesu kunye neentlungu zakho!
UMZEKELO
Ixesha lolutsha liyingozi kakhulu ekuhlambulukeni; ukuba intliziyo ayiziphathi kakuhle, inokufikelela kwinqanaba lokuhamba ngendlela yobubi. Umfana wasePerugia, ovutha uthando olungekho mthethweni kunye nokusilela kwiinjongo zakhe ezimbi, wacela uncedo kumtyholi. Utshaba olungenasiphelo lwazisa ngendlela ebuthathaka. - Ndiyakuthembisa ukukunika umphefumlo wam, ukuba ungandinceda ndenze isono! - Ngaba ukulungele ukubhala isithembiso? - Ewe; kwaye ndiza kuyisayina ngegazi lam! -Umfana ongonwabanga ukwazile ukwenza isono. Kwangoko emva koko uMtyholi wamsa ngasemthonjeni; wathi kuye: Gcina isithembiso sakho ngoku! Ziphose kulo mthombo; ukuba akwenzi njalo, ndiza kukusa emzimbeni nasemphefumlweni! -Umfana omncinci, ekholelwa ukuba akasakwazi ukuzikhulula ezandleni zongendawo, engenasibindi sokungxama, wongeza wathi: Ndinike isityholo ngokwakho; Andinabuganga bokuziphosa! - UMama wethu weza kunceda. Umfana wayenxibe ilokhwe yeAddororata entanyeni yakhe; ebesele eyinxibile ixesha elithile. Usathana wongeze: Kuqala susa loo lokhwe incinci entanyeni yakho, ngapha koko andinakukutyhala! -Umoni wakuqonda ngala mazwi ukuthoba kukaSathana phambi kwamandla eNtombi eNyulu kwaye ukukhwaza kwafaka iAddororata. Umtyholi, enomsindo xa ebona amaxhoba akhe ebaleka, waqhankqalaza, wazama ukoyikisa izoyikiso, kodwa ekugqibeleni wemka esoyiswa. Amahlwempu alahlekileyo, enombulelo kuMama Wosizi, waya kumbulela kwaye, eguqukile ezonweni zakhe, wayefuna nokumisa isifungo, esichazwe kumfanekiso kwiAltare yakhe kwiCawa laseS. Maria La Nuova, ePerugia.
Ukukhuphela. - Ziqhelanise nokucengceleza ooMariya abasixhenxe yonke imihla, uzukise iintlungu ezisixhenxe zoMama wethu, wongeze: Intombi eNtsizi, ndithandazele!
Utyando. - Owu Thixo, uyandibona. Ngaba ndiya kuba nobuganga bokukukhubekisa ukhona?
