UMama wethu waseLourdes: 1 ngoFebruwari, uMariya nguMama wethu naseZulwini
Icebo likaYehova limi ngonaphakade, Iingcinga zentliziyo yakhe kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana "(Iindumiso 32, 11). Ewe, iNkosi inesicwangciso sobuntu, icebo lomntu ngamnye kuthi: isicwangciso esihle asizalisekisayo ukuba siyamvumela; ukuba sithi ewe kuye, ukuba siyamthemba kwaye siyalithatha ilizwi lakhe.
Kwesi sicwangciso simangalisayo iNtombikazi enguMariya inendawo ebalulekileyo, esingenakuyityeshela. “UYesu weza ehlabathini ngoMariya; ngaye uMariya kufuneka alawule ehlabathini ”. Yiyo loo nto iSt. Louis Marie de Montfort iqala incwadi yakhe yoNyango ngoNyaniso. Eli Bandla liyaqhubeka nokufundisa ngokusesikweni, ngokuchanekileyo ukumema bonke abathembekileyo ukuba bazinikele kuMariya ukuze icebo likaThixo lizalisekiswe ngokugqibeleleyo ebomini babo.
“Umama woMhlawuleli unendawo ngqo kwicebo losindiso kuba, lakufika ixesha elipheleleyo, uThixo wathumela uNyana wakhe, owazalwa ngumfazi, ezelwe phantsi komthetho, ukuze amkelwe njengabantwana. Kwaye ukuba ningabantwana bungqina bokuba uThixo uthumele uMoya woNyana wakhe ezintliziyweni zethu odanduluka esithi: Abbà “. (Gal 4, 4 6).
Oku kusenza siqonde ukubaluleka okukhulu kukaMariya kwimfihlelo kaKristu kunye nokusebenza kwakhe ebomini beCawa, kuhambo lokomoya lomntu ngamnye kuthi. "UMariya akayeki ukuba" yinkwenkwezi yolwandle "kubo bonke abo bahamba ngendlela yokholo. Ukuba baphakamisela amehlo abo kuye kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zobomi basemhlabeni, bakwenza oko kuba "wazala ... kuNyana abekwe nguThixo ukuba abe ngowamazibulo kubazalwana abaninzi" (Rom 8:29) nangenxa yokuzalwa ngokutsha nokwakheka kwaba bazalwana noodade uMariya usebenzisana nothando lukamama ”(Redemptoris Mater RM 6).
Konke oku kusenza ukuba siqonde isizathu sokubonakala okukhulu kukaMarian: Inenekazi lethu lize lenze umsebenzi walo wokuba ngumama wokwenza abantwana balo ukuba basebenzisane kwicebo losindiso athe uThixo wasoloko enalo entliziyweni yakhe. Kuxhomekeke kuthi ukuwathobela amazwi akhe nto leyo ingeyiyo kodwa amazwi kaThixo, isandi sothando lwaKhe olukhethekileyo kuye wonke umntu onqwenela "ukuba ngcwele, kungabi nabala ebusweni bakhe eluthandweni" (Eph 1: 4).
Ukuzibophelela: Ngokubeka amehlo ethu kumfanekiso kaMariya, masime sithandaze simxelele ukuba sifuna ukukhokelwa nguye ukuze siyiqonde ngokupheleleyo ebomini bethu icebo likaBawo losindiso.
Inenekazi lethu leLourdes, lisithandazele.
