Ukuzinikela ku-St Michael: umthandazo oza kwenziwa namhlanje nge-12 kaFebruwari
Makhe siqwalasele indlela obubonakala ngayo ubukhulu boMikayeli oNgcwele onguMichael ekubeni nguMpostile weengelosi ezulwini. USt. Thomas noSt. Bonaventure bacinga, belandela iAreopagite, ukuba ezulwini iiNgelosi ezikumgangatho ophezulu ziyafundisa, zikhanyisela kwaye zigqibelele iiNgelosi ezikumgangatho ophantsi: ziyabayalela, zibenza bazi into abangayaziyo; bayakhanyisa, babanike indlela egqibeleleyo yokwazi; bagqibelele, babenza banzulu ekuqondeni. Njengokuba kunjalo eCaweni kukho abaPostile, abaProfeti, oGqirha ukukhanyisela nokugqibelela abathembekileyo, itsho njalo iAreopagite - esibhakabhakeni uThixo wahlula iiNgelosi ngokwemiyalelo eyahlukeneyo, ukuze ezona zibalaseleyo zibe sisikhokelo kunye nokukhanya kwabaphantsi. Nangona uThixo wayenokukwenza ngokuthe ngqo oku, kodwa kwamvuyisa ubulumko bakhe obungenasiphelo ukwenza oko ngoMoya oPhezulu. Umdumisi wakhankanya oku xa wayesithi uThixo ukhanyisa ngendlela emangalisayo ezintabeni ezinkulu: iintaba ezinkulu ezikhanyayo - zitolika uSt.Augustine - ngabashumayeli abakhulu bezulu, oko kukuthi, iingelosi eziphakamileyo ezikhanyisa iiNgelosi ezisezantsi.
II. Cinga ngendlela uphawu lweSt. Michael olukhanyisa ngayo zonke iingelosi. Wakhanyisa iinxalenye ezimbini zeengelosi, xa uLusifa wayefuna ukubadida bonke ngempazamo, awayesele ekwazile ukuyinyanzela kwabaninzi, ukuba ingabekwa kuThixo, kodwa kubo ubukhulu nobungangamsha bendalo yabo, kwaye bakwazi ukuzuza lulonwabo kuphela ngaphandle koncedo lukaThixo. Ingelosi enkulu uMikayeli, isithi: - Quis ut Deus? - Ngubani othanda uThixo? Wazisa iiNgelosi ukuba indalo yabo yadalwa, oko kukuthi, yamkelwa ezandleni zikaThixo, kwaye ukuba nguThixo yedwa abanike imbeko nombulelo. Bazazi kananjalo ngaloo mazwi iiNgelosi ezazingenakufikelela kulonwabo ngaphandle kobabalo, zingaboni nobuhle bukaThixo ngaphandle kokuphakanyiswa kukukhanya kozuko. Ukukhuthazwa kwalo titshala wasezulwini kunye nogqirha kwaba nempumelelo kangangokuba zonke ezizigidi zomoya osikelelweyo zaqubuda phambi koThixo zamnqula. Kule magisterium yaseSt. Michael, iingelosi zazikho, kwaye ziya kuhlala zithembekile kuThixo, kwaye zisikelelwe ngonaphakade kwaye zonwabile.
III. Cinga ngoku, Mkristu, ukuba lukhulu kangakanani uzuko lukaMikayeli iNgelosi enkulu ezulwini. Lowo ufundisa abanye iindlela zeNkosi uya kukhanya ngokukhanya kwesibhakabhaka- sitsho isibhalo. Luyakuba yintoni uzuko lwenkosana yasezulwini, engakhanyisanga iingelosi ezimbalwa, kodwa inginginginya engenakubalwa yeengelosi! Uya kuba yintoni umvuzo awuvuzwe ngawo nguThixo? Ukuthanda kwakhe iiNgelosi kwamenza wamoyisa kuzo zonke iiKwayara kwaye kwamenza ukuba abe mkhulu ngokwenyani noThixo.Kutheni ungaphindi ubhenele ku-Archangelo Michael ukuze uzikhuphele ngaphandle kokungazi apho uzifumana ulusizi khona? Kutheni ungambongozi noDavide ukuba akhanyise amehlo akho, hleze balale ekufeni kweempazamo? Thandaza kuMpostile wasezulwini ukuba akwenze uqonde ukuba kufuneka usoloko uthembekile kwaye unenjongo ebomini, ukuze wonwabe kunye naye ngonaphakade.

Michele dei Navarrini .
