UMongameli wethu waseLourdes: NgoFebruwari 2, uMariya uyinxalenye yobomi bukaKristu kuthi
“Icebo elingcwele losindiso, elityhilwe kuthi ngokufika kukaKrestu, lelaphakade. Kukwanxulumene ngonaphakade noKristu. Ibandakanya onke amadoda, kodwa igcina indawo ekhethekileyo "yomfazi" onguMama walowo athe uYise wamnika umsebenzi wosindiso. (…) UMariya, owaxelwa kwangaphambili kwiTestamente eNdala, waziswa ngokucacileyo kwimfihlakalo kaKristu ngesehlo sowe-Annunciation ”(RM).
Ukusukela ngoko uMariya ebeyinxalenye yobomi bukaKrestu kuyo yonke indoda, ewe, "uyindlela elula" ekhokelela kuye kwaye inceda ukuhamba indlela yosindiso lomntu kunye noluntu.
Ewe, xa kuthelekiswa nobukhulu obungapheliyo nobungangamsha bukaThixo, uMariya usisidalwa nje. UThixo wayengenayo kwaye akayifuni ukuba enze ukuthanda kwakhe kwaye abonakalise ubuqaqawuli bakhe. Kodwa iNkosi ikhethe ukumsebenzisa, ifuna ukubeka bonke ubuncwane bobabalo ezandleni zayo kwaye yenze oko kwasekuqaleni, njengoko iqhubeka isenza njalo ngonaphakade, kuba intando yayo ayiguquki.
UThixo uYise wayefuna ukunika uNyana wakhe uYesu emhlabeni ngoMariya. Wayenokwenza ezinye iindlela eziliwaka, kodwa wakhetha oku, wamkhetha, iNtombikazi! U-St. Augustine uthi ihlabathi alifanelekanga ukwamkela uNyana kaThixo ngqo ezandleni zikaYise: Wamnika uMariya, ukuze ihlabathi limamkele ngaye. Ke uNyana kaThixo waba ngumntu wosindiso lwethu kuMariya nangoMariya. UMoya oyiNgcwele wasebenza le nkqubo emva kokufumana u-ewe ongenamiqathango weNtombikazi yaseNazarete.
Yiyo ke loo nto uYesu wayehlala ngokusondeleyo kuye, exhomekeke kuye njengaye wonke umntwana, emanyene ngokwasemoyeni noMama wakhe njengaye wonke umntwana, ngaloo ndlela enika uzuko kuThixo owayecinga ngale nto kwicebo lakhe lothando. Yiyo loo nto, silandela umzekelo kaYesu, ekuphela komzekelo wethu, sizithoba kuMariya, siphethukela kuye, sizinikezela kuye kwaye siyazingcwalisa kuye, sinika olona zuko lukhulu kuBawo oseZulwini!
Ngaphaya koko, kokukhona uMoya oyiNgcwele efumana uMariya uMtshakazi wakhe emphefumlweni, kokukhona esebenza ngamandla ukuze akwazi ukwenza uYesu.Ngoko ke kufuneka sibize uMariya ukuba angene ebomini bethu ukuze enze umsebenzi wakhe wobuzali ngaphandle kwemiqobo, le nto ihleli igcinwe yiNkosi ukuba isenze sifane noYesu ngothando nangaso sonke isidima. Uyayazi indlela yokwenza ngokungaphaya kwakhe nabani na kwaye uyayazi nendlela yokwenza! Ukubonakala kwakhe okuqhubekayo, imiyalezo yakhe esibizelwe ukuba siphile kuyo, isikhokelela koku: ukuhlala njengabantwana bokwenyani, ukuthanda iLizwi likaThixo kwaye ulisebenzise, ukujonga ezulwini kwaye wazi indlela yokufikelela kulo.
Ukuzibophelela: Masicengceleze iMagnificat ngokuthe chu, ngakumbi ngentliziyo kunangqondo, kwaye siyayidumisa iNkosi esinike lo Mama esinokuhlala sithembele kuye kuhambo lobomi.
