Kwikhaya elifundwe nguKhadinali Giovanni Battista Re nge-31 kaDisemba, uPapa Francis uthe “ngokuhlwanje sinika indawo yokubulela unyaka osondela esiphelweni. 'Siyakudumisa, Thixo, siyakubhengeza Nkosi ...' "
UKhadinali Re wanika usapho lukaPopu kwiitempile zeVatican yokuqala eVenkile yaseSt. IVespers, ekwabizwa ngokuba yiVespers, ziyinxalenye yeLiturgy yeYure.
Ngenxa yeentlungu zesayensi, uPopu Francis akazange athathe inxaxheba kwinkonzo yomthandazo, eyayiquka ukunqulwa kwe-Eucharistic kunye nentsikelelo, kunye nokuculwa kwe "Te Deum", iculo lesiLatin lokubulela kwiCawa yokuqala.
"Kungabonakala kunyanzelekile, phantse kungathandeki, ukubulela uThixo ekupheleni konyaka onje, ophawulwe ngubhubhani," watsho uFrancis kwikhaya lakhe.
“Sicinga ngeentsapho ezilahlekelwe lilungu elinye okanye amalungu angaphezulu, abo bebegula, abo banesizungu, abo baphulukene nemisebenzi…” wongeze watsho. "Ngamanye amaxesha umntu ubuza: yintoni inqaku lentlekele enje?"
Upopu wathi akufuneki singxame ukuwuphendula lo mbuzo, kuba kwanoThixo akasiphenduli esona sizathu sikhathazayo ngokuthi "izizathu ezingcono".
"Impendulo kaThixo", uqinisekisile, "ilandela indlela yokuZalwa, njengoko i-antiphon eya kwi-Magnificat iza kucula kungekudala:" Ngothando olukhulu awasithanda ngalo, uThixo wathumela uNyana wakhe esenyameni yesono ".
IiVesper zokuqala zacengcelezwa eVatican ngolindelo lwesidima sikaMariya, uMama kaThixo, nge-1 kaJanuwari.
“UThixo ungutata, 'uYise ongunaPhakade', kwaye ukuba uNyana wakhe waba ngumntu, kungenxa yemfesane enkulu yentliziyo kaYise. UThixo ungumalusi, kwaye nguwuphi umalusi onokunikezela nangemvu enye, ecinga ukuba okwangoku usasele ezininzi? ”Waqhubeka upopu.
Wongeze wathi: “Hayi, lo thixo uthandabuzayo nokhohlakeleyo akakho. Ayinguye lo Thixo 'simdumisayo' kwaye 'sibhengeza iNkosi' ".
UFrancis wakhomba kumzekelo wemfesane yomSamariya Olungileyo njengendlela "yokuqonda" ngentlekele yesifo se-coronavirus, athe sinesiphumo "sokuvuselela imfesane kuthi nokucaphukisa izimo zengqondo kunye nezimbo zokusondela, inkathalo, ubumbano. "
Ephawula ukuba abantu abaninzi bakhonza abanye ngokuzincama kulo nyaka unzima, upopu wathi “ngokuzimisela kwabo kwemihla ngemihla, beqhutywa luthando ngommelwane, bawafezekisile la mazwi eculo iTe Deum: 'Yonke imihla sikusikelela, siyakudumisa igama ngonaphakade. "Kuba intsikelelo nendumiso ekholisa uThixo kakhulu luthando lobuzalwana".
Ezo zenzo zilungileyo "azinakwenzeka ngaphandle kobabalo, ngaphandle kwenceba kaThixo," ucacisile. “Ngale nto siyamdumisa, kuba siyakholwa kwaye siyazi ukuba konke okulungileyo okwenziwa imihla ngemihla emhlabeni kuza, ekugqibeleni, kuye. Kwaye sijonge kwikamva elisilindeleyo, siyanicela kwakhona: 'Ngamana inceba yakho ingahlala ikunye nathi, sithembele kuwe' "
