Amava angaqondakaliyo ka-St. Francis kunye ne-Guardian Angel
USt Francis, esemncinci, wabushiya ubutofotofo bobomi, wazihluba zonke iimpahla wamkela indlela yokubandezeleka, kuphela ngenxa yothando lukaYesu obethelelwe emnqamlezweni. Emva komzekelo wakhe, amanye amadoda abushiya ubomi obonwabisayo baba ngamaqabane akhe abawexuki.
UYesu wamtyebisa ngezipho zokomoya kwaye wamnika ubabalo awayengazange alunike omnye umntu kwiinkulungwane ezidlulileyo. Wayefuna ukumenza afane naye, amchukumise ngamanxeba amahlanu. Le nyani ingene ezantsi kwembali phantsi kwegama elithi "Impression of stigmata".
USt Francis, iminyaka emibini ngaphambi kokuba asweleke, wayeye entabeni yeLa Verna, eqala ukuzila okungqongqo, okwakuza kuthatha iintsuku ezingamashumi amane. Ngale ndlela uSanta wayefuna ukuhlonipha iNkosana yamaSilamsi omoya, iSt. Ngenye intsasa, xa wayethandaza, wabona uSerafi esihla evela ezulwini, enamaphiko amathandathu aqaqambileyo nomlilo. INgcwele yajonga iNgelosi isihla ngenqwelomoya ekhazimlayo kwaye yayisondeza kuye, yaqonda ukuba ukongeza kumaphiko ikwabethelelwa emnqamlezweni, oko kukuthi, iingalo zayo zolulwa kwaye izandla zahlatywa ngezikhonkwane, kunye neenyawo zayo; amaphiko alungelelaniswe ngendlela engaqhelekanga: amabini athe nkqo phezulu, amabini asasazeke ngokungathi iyabhabha kwaye amabini ajikeleze umzimba, phantse ukugquma.
U-St. Francis wacinga ngeSerafi, eziva onwabile ngokomoya, kodwa wayezibuza ukuba kutheni iNgelosi, umoya ococekileyo, unokufumana iintlungu zokubethelelwa emnqamlezweni. USerafi wamenza waqonda ukuba wayethunyelwe nguThixo ukuba athethe ukuba kufanele ukuba abulawe ukholo ngohlobo lukaYesu obethelelwe emnqamlezweni.
Ingelosi yanyamalala; USt Francis waqaphela ukuba amanxeba amahlanu avela emzimbeni wakhe: izandla neenyawo zakhe zahlatywa zaphalaza igazi, ngokunjalo icala lalivulekile kwaye igazi elaliphumile limanzise ingubo yakhe kunye nesinqe. Ngenxa yokuthobeka, uSanta angathanda ukusifihla isipho esikhulu, kodwa oku kungenakwenzeka, warhoxa kwintando kaThixo.Amanxeba ahlala evulekile eminye iminyaka emibini, oko kukuthi, de wasweleka. Emva koSt. Francis, abanye bafumana ibala. Phakathi kwabo nguFr. Pio wasePietrelcina, iCapuchin.
Ukugxeka kuzisa iintlungu ezinkulu; ukanti sisipho esikhetheke kakhulu esivela kubuThixo. Ubuhlungu sisipho esivela kuThixo, kuba ngayo uyahlukaniswa nehlabathi, unyanzelekile ukuba ubuyele eNkosini ngomthandazo, uhlawulela izono zakho, utsala ubabalo kuwe nakwabanye, kwaye uzuze umvuzo IParadesi. Abangcwele babekwazi ukuvavanya ukubandezeleka. Ngethamsanqa!
