UXOLO
Enye yezithembiso ezenziwa yiNhliziyo eNgcwele kwabo bazinikeleyo yile: ndiya kuzisa uxolo kwiintsapho zabo.
Uxolo sisipho esivela kuThixo; NguThixo kuphela onokunika; kwaye kufuneka siyixabulele kwaye siyigcine entliziyweni yethu nakwintsapho.
UYesu nguKumkani woxolo. Xa wathumela abafundi bakhe wajikeleza izixeko kunye neenqaba, wabacebisa ukuba babe ngabathwali boxolo: Ukungena kwenye indlu, babingelele ngokuthi: Uxolo kule ndlu! Ukuba ke ifanelekile indlu leyo, uxolo lwenu luya kuza phezu kwayo. kodwa ukuba ayifaneleki, uxolo lwakho luya kubuyela kuwe! (Mateyu, XV, 12).
-Uxolo malube nawe! (S. Giovanni, XXV, 19.) Lo yayingumbuliso kunye neminqweno emihle awayethetha ngayo nabapostile xa wayebonakala kubo emva kovuko. -Yiya ngoxolo! -watsho kuwo wonke umphefumlo onesono, xa wamgxothayo emva kokuxolelwa izono zakhe (S. Luke, VII, 1).
Xa uYesu wayelungisa iingqondo zabapostile ngokumka kwakhe kweli lizwe, wabathuthuzela esithi: Ndiyanishiya nixolile; Ndikunika uxolo lwam; Ndikunika wena, kungabi njengalo eliqhelekileyo. Intliziyo yakho mayingakhathazeki (iSt. John, XIV, 27).
Ngexesha lokuzalwa kukaYesu, iiNgelosi zazisa uxolo emhlabeni, zisithi: Luxolo emhlabeni kubantu abakholekileyo! (ISan Luca, II, 14).
Icawe eNgcwele ihlala inyanzelisa uxolo loThixo phezu kwemiphefumlo, ibeka lo myalezo kwiindebe zabafundisi:
Mvana kaThixo esusa izono zehlabathi, sinike uxolo! -
Luyintoni uxolo, uthandwa kangaka nguYesu? Kukuzola kocwangco; kukuvumelana kokuthanda komntu nentando kaThixo; Kukuzola okukhulu komoya, okunokugcinwa kwakhona. Kweyona mvavanyo inzima.
Akukho luxolo kwabangendawo! Kuphela ngabo bahlala kwisisa sikaThixo abonwabileyo kwaye bafundele ukugcina umthetho waphezulu kangangoko kunokwenzeka.
Utshaba lokuqala loxolo sisono. Abo banikezela kwisilingo kwaye benze impazamo enkulu bayakwazi oku ngamava alusizi; baphulukana kwangoko noxolo lwentliziyo kwaye babe krakra kwaye bazisole ngembuyekezo.
Isithintelo sesibini soxolo kukuzingca, ikratshi, ikratshi, esilangazelela ukugqitha. Intliziyo yabazingcayo nabazingcayo ayinalo uxolo, ihlala ingaphumli. Iintliziyo ezithobekileyo zinandipha uxolo lukaYesu.Ukuba bekukho ukuthobeka ngakumbi, emva kokungcikivwa okanye ukuthotywa, kukangakanani ukukrokra neminqweno yempindezelo ebeya kuthintelwa kwaye nokuba lungakanani uxolo oluya kuhlala entliziyweni nasezintsatsheni!
Okungekho sikweni kungaphezulu kwalo lonke utshaba loxolo, kuba alugcini ulwalamano kubudlelwane nabanye. Abo bangenabulungisa, babanga amalungelo abo, ukuya exagxeni, kodwa bangawahloniphi amalungelo abanye. Oku kungabikho kokusesikweni kuzisa imfazwe eluntwini kunye nokungaboni ngasonye kusapho.
Sigcina uxolo, ngaphakathi kwethu kunye nokujikeleze thina!
Masilwele ukuba singaze siphulukane noxolo lwentliziyo, kungekuphela ngokuphepha isono, kodwa nangokuphepha nakuphi na ukuphazamiseka komoya. Konke okuzisa isiphazamiso entliziyweni kunye nokungazinzi, kuvela kumtyholi, oqhele iintlanzi kwi-turbid.
Umoya kaYesu ngumoya wokuzola noxolo.
Imiphefumlo enamava amancinci kubomi bokomoya iwela ngokulula kwisiphithiphithi sangaphakathi; Isisusa silususa uxolo lwabo. Ke ngoko, hlala uthembekile.
U-Saint Teresina, ezame ngandlela zonke emoyeni wakhe, wathi: Nkosi, ndizame, ndenze ukuba ndibandezeleke, kodwa ungandiphambanisi noxolo lwakho!
Masigcine uxolo kusapho! Uxolo lwasekhaya bubutyebi obukhulu; usapho olungenalo, luyafana nolwandle olunesaqhwithi. Ungoyiki abo banyanzelwa ukuba bahlale endlwini apho kungalawulwa khona uxolo lukaThixo!
Olu xolo lwasekhaya lugcinwa ngokuthobela, oko kukuthi, ngokuhlonipha isikhundla esiphakamileyo esibekwe nguThixo apho. Ukungathobeli kuphazamisa ukulandelwa kosapho.
Igcinwa ngokusebenza kwesisa, ububele kunye nokuthwala iziphene kwizalamane. Ibango lokuba abanye abaze baphoswa, benze iimpazamo, ngamafutshane, ukuba bagqibelele, ngelixa sisenza iimpazamo ezininzi.
Uxolo kusapho luyagcinwa ngokusika nasiphi na isizathu sokungavisisani kwasekuqaleni. Cima umlilo kwangoko, phambi kokuba ube ngumlilo! Idangatye lokungavisisani malicime kwaye ungafaki iinkuni emlilweni! Ukuba kukho ukungavisisani okanye ukungavisisani phakathi kosapho, yonke into mayicaciswe ngokuzolileyo nangobulumko; cwaka yonke inkanuko. Kungcono ukuyekelela kwinto, nokuba unombingelelo, kunokuphazamisa uxolo lwendlu. Abo bacengceleza iPater, Ave kunye noGloria ngoxolo kusapho lwabo yonke imihla benza kakuhle.
