Ukuzinikela nokuthandaza ngokuzithemba kwiNtliziyo eNgcwele yaYesu
I-novena luhlobo olukhethekileyo lokuzinikela kwama Katolika okuqulethe umthandazo ofuna ubabalo olukhethekileyo oluqhele ukucengcelezwa kwiintsuku ezisithoba zilandelelana. Isiko lokuthandaza i-novenas lichazwe kwizibhalo. Emva kokuba uYesu enyukele ezulwini, wayalela abafundi bakhe ukuba bangathandaza njani kunye kwaye bazinikele njani ekuthandazeni rhoqo (Izenzo 1:14). Imfundiso yecawa igcina ukuba abaPostile, iNtombi Enyulu enguMariya nabanye abalandeli bakaYesu bathandaze kunye kwiintsuku ezisithoba zilandelelana, yaphela ngokokuphuma kukaMoya oyiNgcwele emhlabeni ngePentekosti.
Ngokusekwe kweli bali, inkcubeko yamaRoma Katolika inemithandazo emininzi eneNoalia enikezelwe kwiimeko ezithile.
Le novena ifanelekileyo ukuyisebenzisa kumthendeleko weNtliziyo eNgcwele ngenyanga kaJuni, kodwa inokuthandazwa nangaliphi na ixesha lonyaka.
Ngokwembali, umthendeleko weNtliziyo eNgcwele uwela kwiintsuku ezili-19 emva kwePentekoste, oko kuthetha ukuba umhla wayo unokuba ngoMeyi 29 okanye ngoJulayi 2. Unyaka wokuqala owaziwayo wawubhiyozelwa ngo-1670. Ungomnye weyona mikhwa iqhelekileyo kubuRoma Katolika kwaye ngokomfuziselo ubeka intliziyo yokoqobo nekaYesu Kristu njengommeli wemfesane yobuthixo eluntwini. Amanye amaTshetshi namaLuthere amaProtestanti nawo ayakwenza oku.
Ngalo mthandazo uthembakeleyo kwiNtliziyo eNgcwele, sicela uKrestu ukuba enze isicelo sakhe kuYise njengowakhe. Kukho amabinzana awahlukeneyo asetyenziselwa iNovena yeThemba kwiNtliziyo eNgcwele yaYesu, ezinye zenziwe zaza ezinye zathi kratya, kodwa eyona iphrintiweyo apha lolona xwebhu luqhelekileyo.
