UKUSUKA EGIBHITINI
Izazi, zilumkiswe yiNgelosi, zabuyela kwilizwe lazo, zingabuyeli kuHerode. Owokugqibela, enomsindo wokuphoxeka kwaye esoyika ukuba uMesiya ozelweyo ngenye imini uzothatha itrone yakhe kuye, baqala ukubabulala bonke abantwana baseBhetelehem nakwindawo ejikelezileyo, ukusukela kwiminyaka emibini nangaphantsi, ngethemba lobudenge ebandakanya noYesu ekubulaweni.
Kodwa ingelosi yeNkosi yabonakala kuYosefu elele kwaye yathi kuye: "Vuka, thabatha umntwana kunye nonina uze ubalekele eYiputa; uzohlala apho de ndikuxelele. Ngapha koko, uHerode kungekudala ufuna ukumbulala uMntwana. Wavuka uYosefu wamthabatha umntwana nonina ebusuku, waya eYiputa. Wahlala apho de kwasweleka uHerode, ukuze kuzalisekiswe into eyathethwa yiNkosi ngomprofeti: "Ndabiza uNyana wam ukuba aphume eYiphutha" (UMateyu Ongcwele, II, 13).
Kule ngqungquthela ebomini bukaYesu sijonga intlungu evezwe nguMama wethu. Yintlungu engakanani kumama yokwazi ukuba umntwana wakhe uzama ukufa, ngaphandle kwesizathu, yindoda eyomeleleyo nekratshi! Kufuneka abaleke ngoko nangoko, ebusuku, ngexesha lasebusika, aye eYiputa, malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-400 ukusuka apho! Yamkela ukungahambi kakuhle kohambo olude, ngeendlela ezingathandekiyo kunye nentlango! Yiya kuhlala ngaphandle kwamazwe, kwilizwe elingaziwayo, ungalwazi ulwimi kwaye ungenantuthuzelo yezihlobo!
UMama wethu akazange athethe nesikhalazo, nokuba nguHerode okanye uProvidence, owalahla yonke into. Kumele ukuba wakhumbula ilizwi likaSimeon: Ikrele liya kubetha umphefumlo wakho! -
Kukubonelela kwaye kulungele ukuhlala nabantu. Emva kweminyaka eliqela yokuhlala eYiphutha, Inenekazi Lethu, uYesu noSanta uJoseph babekhe baqhelana. Kodwa ingelosi yayalela ukuba babuyele ePalestine. Ngaphandle kokunika izizathu, uMariya waphinda wabuya uhambo, ehlonipha ukuyila kukaThixo.
Esinjani sona isifundo ekufuneka senziwe ngabantu abazinikeleyo kuMariya!
Ubomi bungumxube weengxaki kunye nokuphoxeka. Ngaphandle kokukhanya kokholo, ukudimazeka kunokoyisa. Kuyimfuneko ukuba ujonge intlalontle, usapho kunye neziganeko ezizodwa ngeglasi yasezulwini, Oko kukuthi, ukubona kuyo yonke into umsebenzi wobonelelo, obeka yonke into kulunge ngakumbi kwezidalwa. Izicwangciso zikaThixo azinakuphononongwa, kodwa ngokuhamba kwexesha, ukuba siyabonakalisa, siqinisekile ngokulunga kukaThixo ngokuvumela loo mnqamlezo, ukuthotywa, ukungaqondi, kuthintele elo nyathelo kwaye 'kusibeka kwiimeko ezingalindelekanga.
Kuyo yonke inkcaso sizama ukuba singalahlekelwa ngumonde kwaye sithembele kuThixo nakuMariya oyiNgcwele. Masizihambelanise nentando kaThixo, sithobekile sithi: Nkosi, intando yakho mayenziwe!
UMZEKELO
Kuyatshiwo kwi-Franciscan Chronicles ukuba iinkolo ezimbini ze-Order, abathandi baseMadonna, bazimisele ukutyelela indawo engcwele Bezele lukholo, babehambe umgama omde kwaye ekugqibeleni bangena kwihlathi elishinyeneyo. Babenethemba lokuba bazokwazi ukuwuwela kwakamsinya, kodwa babengenakukwazi, kuba ubusuku babufikile. Besothukile, bazincomela kuThixo nakuMama wethu; Baqonda ukuba ukuthanda kukaThixo kuyakuvumela oko kubuyela umva.
Kodwa eyona Ntombi eNgcwele ingcwele ijongile abantwana bayo abanengxaki kwaye iza kubanceda; Abo Friars babini, ababeneentloni, belufanelwe lolu ncedo.

Aba bakhonzi babini, bavula ucango, bahamba neefreyimu ukuya kwinkosikazi. Umphathi obekekileyo ubuze: Unjani kule mithi? -Sikuhambo oluya kwigumbi elingcwele laseMadonna; silahlekile ngethuba.
Niya kwazi ukuba niya kuhlala kule bhotwe. ngomso, xa uphuma, ndiza kukunika ileta eya kuba luncedo kuwe. -
Ngentsasa elandelayo, emva kokuba beyifumene le leta, oFriars baqhubeka nohambo lwabo. Bemka kancinane endlwini, bajonga le leta kwaye bothuka bengayiboni idilesi apho; Ngelo xesha, bejonga ngapha nangapha, baqonda ukuba indlu kamatron ayisekho; wayenjalo
wanyamalala kwaye endaweni yayo kwakukho imithi. Bakuba beyivulile ileta, bafumana iphepha elityikitywe nguMadonna. Kubhaliwe kwathiwa: Lowo ukwamkeleyo nguMama wakho waseZulwini. Ndifuna ukukuvuza ngedini lakho, ngenxa yokuba wanduluka ngenxa yam. Qhubeka undikhonze kwaye undithande. Ndizokunceda ebomini nasekufeni. -
Emva kwale nyani, umntu unokuthelekelela ukuba yeyiphi inzondelelo loo maFriars awabeka uMama wethu ngobomi babo bonke.
UThixo wavumela ukuba ilahleko ehlathini, ukuze abo babini bafumane ukulunga nokutya okumnandi kweMadonna.
Ukukhuphela. -Ukuba kukho inkcaso, ukungabi namonde, ngakumbi ngokumodareyitha ulwimi.
Utyando. - Nkosi, intando yakho mayenziwe!
