Andizukukwenza wonwabe kweli lizwe, kodwa kwelinye!
Oku wayekuva "iNkosikazi enxibe ezimhlophe" eyabonakala kuye emqolombeni eMassabielle nge-11 kaFebruwari 1858. Wayeyintombazana eneminyaka eli-14 kuphela, phantse engafundanga kwaye ehlwempuzekile ngandlela zonke, zombini ngenxa yokunqongophala koqoqosho olufumanekayo kusapho, zombini ngenxa yokulinganiselwa kwakhe kwengqondo, kokubini impilo enkenenkene kakhulu, eqhubeka isifo sombefu, asimvumelanga ukuba aphefumle. Njengomsebenzi wayesondla iigusha kwaye ekuphela kwento awayethanda ukuyenza yayiyirosari awayeyifunda mihla le, efumana intuthuzelo kunye nokuhlala kuyo. Kodwa ke kuye, intombazana ekubonakala ukuba "yayiza kulahlwa" ngokwendlela yokuziphatha yelizwe, apho iNtombikazi enguMariya yazibiza ngegama elathi iBandla, kwiminyaka emine eyadlulayo, labhengeza njengemfundiso: NdinguMntwana ongenasono, Uthe ngenye yezibonakaliso ezili-18 uBernadette ayenayo kuloo ndawo kufuphi neLourdes, ilizwe lakhe lokuzalwa. Waphinda uThixo wanyula emhlabeni "into yobudenge yokubhidanisa izilumko" (jonga u-1 Kor 23), ebhukuqa yonke imigaqo yovavanyo kunye nobukhulu bomntu. Isitayile esiphindaphindwe ngokuhamba kwexesha, kubandakanya loo minyaka xa uNyana kaThixo ngokwakhe wakhetha kubalobi abathobekileyo nabangenalwazi abo baPostile bekufanele ukuba baqhubekile nomsebenzi wakhe emhlabeni, benika ubomi kwiCawe yokuqala. “Enkosi ngoba ukuba bekukho ibhinqa eliselula elingabalulekanga kunam ngewungazange undikhethe…” yabhala le ntombazana kwiTestamente yayo, isazi ukuba uThixo wakhetha abo basebenzisana nabo “phakathi kwabo bahluphekileyo nabangamahlwempu.
UBernadette Soubirous wayechasene nomlingo; yakhe, njengoko bekutshiwo, yayisisilumko esisebenzayo kunye nenkumbulo encinci. Ukanti akazange aziphikise xa exelela akubonileyo nakuvileyo "emqolombeni nguMnikazi enxibe ezimhlophe kwaye ebhinqe iribhoni yasezulwini esinqeni sakhe". Kutheni umkholelwa? Ngokuchanekileyo ngenxa yokuba wayengaguquguquki kwaye ngaphezu kwako konke ngenxa yokuba wayengazifuneli izibonelelo yena, okanye ukuthandwa, okanye imali! Kwaye ke wazi njani, ngokungazi kwakhe ngokungathandabuzekiyo, loo nyaniso imangalisayo nenzulu ye-Immaculate Conception ethi iBandla lisandul 'ukuyiqinisekisa? Yiyo kanye le nto eyamqinisekisa umfundisi wakhe.
Kodwa ukuba iphepha elitsha lencwadi yenceba kaThixo labhalelwa umhlaba (ukwamkelwa kobunyani bembonakalo kaLourdes kweza kwiminyaka nje emine emva koko, ngo-1862), kuba umbono wembandezelo nentshutshiso yaqala ehamba naye. kude kube sekupheleni kobomi bakhe. Andizukukwenza wonwabe kulomhlaba ... Inenekazi lalingadlali. Ngokukhawuleza uBernadette waba lixhoba lokukrokrelwa, ukugculelwa, ukuncinwa, zonke izityholo, ade abanjwe. Wayengakholelwa nakubani na: ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba uMongameli wethu umkhethile? Le ntombazana ayizange iphikisane nayo, kodwa ukuze izikhusele kubushushu obungako yacetyiswa ukuba izitshixe kwi-Monastery of Neurous. "Ndize ukufihla" watsho ngemini yokunxiba kwakhe kwaye wayeziphepha ngononophelo efuna amalungelo okanye izinto ezilungileyo ngenxa yokuba uThixo wayemkhethe ngendlela eyahluke ngokupheleleyo kwezinye. Kwakungekho ngozi. Yayingeyiyo le nto uMama wethu wayeyibonele kwangaphambili apha emhlabeni ...
Nakwikhaya loonongendi, uBernadette kwafuneka ukuba aqhubeke nokuthotywa kunye nokungekho sikweni, njengoko naye ngokwakhe engqina kwiTestamente yakhe: “Ndiyabulela ngokuzalisa ubukrakra intliziyo ethambileyo undinike yona. ngenxa yezinciphiso zoMama oPhakamileyo, ilizwi lakhe elirhabaxa, ukungabikho kokusesikweni, isigqebelo kunye nokuthotywa, enkosi. Enkosi ngokuba yinto enelungelo lokungcikivwa, abathi oSisters bathi: Hayi ithamsanqa ukuba ungabi nguBernadette! ”. Le yayiyimeko yengqondo athe wamkela ngayo unyango awayelunikiwe, kubandakanya nesiqinisekiso esibuhlungu awayesivile kumphathi xa ubishophu wayeza kumabela isabelo: "Ithetha ukuthini kuye into yokuba ulungile Akukho nto? ". Umntu kaThixo, engoyiki tu, waphendula wathi: "Ntombi yam, kuba awulungelanga nto ndikunika umsebenzi wokuthandaza!".
Ngokuzimisela wamnika umsebenzi ofanayo nalowo wayemnike u-Immaculate kuMassabielle, xa ngaye wabuza wonke umntu: Inguquko, isohlwayo, umthandazo ... Kubo bonke ubomi bayo imboni encinci yayithobela le ntando, ithandaza ifihlakele kwaye inyamezele bonke bemanyene nokuthanda kukaKristu. Wanikela ngayo, ngoxolo nothando, ngenxa yokuguqulwa kwaboni, ngokwentando yeNtombikazi. Nangona kunjalo, uvuyo olukhulu lwamkhapha kule minyaka isithoba wayichitha ebhedini, ngaphambi kokuba asweleke eneminyaka engama-35 ubudala, wabanjwa sisifo esiya sisiba mandundu.
Kwabo bamthuthuzelayo waphendula ngoloncumo olufanayo olwalumkhanyisela ngexesha leentlanganiso noMadonna: "UMary mhle kangangokuba abo bambonayo bangathanda ukufa baphinde bambone". Xa iintlungu zomzimba ziye zazinganyamezeleki, wancwina wathi: "Hayi, andikhangeli isiqabu, amandla kunye nomonde." Ubukho bakhe obufutshane ke budlulile ekwamkeleni ngokuthobeka oko kubandezeleka, okwakusebenzela ukuhlangula imiphefumlo emininzi edinga inkululeko kwakhona nosindiso. Impendulo evulekileyo kwisimemo se-Immaculate Conception ebonakala kuye kwaye ngubani obethethile naye. Kwaye esazi ukuba ubungcwele bakhe bebungayi kuxhomekeka ekubeni abe nelungelo lokubona iNenekazi lethu, uBernadette waqukumbela iTestamente yakhe ngale ndlela: "Enkosi, Thixo wam ngalo mphefumlo undinike wona, ngenkqantosi yolwandle, ubumnyama bakho nezityhilelo zakho, ukuthula kwakho nokubengezela kwakho; ngayo yonke into, ingekhoyo okanye ikhoyo, enkosi Yesu ”.
