Upopu: UMartha, uMariya noLazaro baya kukhunjulwa njengabangcwele
UPopu Francis odlulileyo ngoFebruwari 2, kubonakala ngathi kummiselo weBandla loNqulo oluNgcwele kwavela ukuba: nge-29 kaJulayi abazalwane abathathu baseBethany, abachazwe ziincwadi zeVangeli, baya kukhunjulwa okokuqala njengabaNgcwele. Ubawo Maggioni, ucacisa ukubaluleka kwendlu yaseBethany, ufana nobudlelwane bosapho apho umama, utata kunye nabantakwabo kunye noodade kunye nemizekelo yabo basincedayo ukuvula iintliziyo zethu kuThixo.Njengoko iVangeli ikhumbula, aba bazalwana bathathu, nangona babenabalinganiswa ngokupheleleyo ngokwahlukileyo, elowo wamkela uYesu ekhayeni lakhe, kwaye ngale ndlela ubudlelwane babusekiwe hayi ubuhlobo bodwa kuYesu kuphela, kodwa ubudlelwane bentsapho phakathi kwabazalwana ababehlala bexabana ngenxa yokwahluka kwesimilo. Ukuthandabuza kuye kwaqhubeka iminyaka emininzi, ekungaqiniseki ukuba ngubani uMariya waseBethany ukuba kwixesha elidlulileyo kukho abo babemchaza njengoMagdalene, onguMariya waseMagadala, kodwa ngokuhlaziya iikhalenda zamaRoma, ke ngoko bagqiba kwelokuba Andinayo eyokwenene. Kangangexesha elithile, ke ngoko, aba bazalwana bathathu babeceliwe ukuba badibanise aba bazalwana bathathu ukubhiyozela usuku olunye, ukubakhumbula bobathathu njengabahlobo bakaYesu.
Umthandazo ngobuhlobo: Kuwe, Nkosi, mthandi wobomi, Mhlobo womntu, ndiphakamisa umthandazo wam ngomhlobo owandenza ndadibana naye kuhambo lwehlabathi Lowo unjengam, kodwa engalingani nam. Yenza eyethu ibe bubuhlobo babantu ababini abagqibezanayo ngezipho zakho, abathengisa ubutyebi bakho, abathetha omnye nomnye ngolwimi olufake entliziyweni yakho. amen Ubuhlobo lixabiso elibalulekileyo, kwaye liyinxalenye ebalulekileyo yobomi bethu, kubalulekile ukuzingqonga nabantu abathembekileyo onokuthembela kubo, uYesu ebesele ebujonga njengobuhlobo obulungileyo ubuhlobo, obu bulungileyo ukuba buhlala bunyanisekile. Akululanga ukufumana olu phawu kubo bonke abantu onxibelelana nabo ebomini kodwa ngemvisiswano kunye nokuhloniphana kunokuba yinto yanaphakade.
