"Yonke into eyenzeka macala onke yakhe iphelela ekuzibonakaliseni emazantsi entliziyo yakhe. Umama ugcina yonke into kwaye uyizisa kwingxoxo yakhe noThixo," utshilo.

“Xa ihlabathi lalingazi nto ngaye, xa wayeseyintombazana elula eganelwe indoda yendlu kaDavide, uMariya wathandaza. Singayicinga intombazana encinci yaseNazarete izisongele ithi cwaka, kwingxoxo eqhubekayo noThixo oza kuthi kungekudala ayiphathise umsebenzi, ”utshilo uPopu.
“UMariya wayethandaza xa ingelosi enkulu uGabriyeli yayisizisa umyalezo wakhe eNazarete. Incinci kodwa inkulu into ethi 'Ndilapha', eyenza ukuba yonke indalo ixhume luvuyo ngalo mzuzu, yandulelwa kwimbali yosindiso ngamanye amaninzi 'Ndim lo,' ngabaninzi abathembekileyo abathobelayo, ngabaninzi ababevulele intando kaThixo. "

“UMariya akazange abukhokele ubomi bakhe ngokuzimela: ulindele ukuba uThixo athabathe iintambo zendlela yakhe kwaye amkhokelele apho afuna khona. Uthobekile kwaye ngokufumaneka kwakhe ulungiselela imicimbi emikhulu apho uThixo athabatha inxaxheba khona emhlabeni “.
Kwi-Annunciation, iNtombikazi enguMariya yalukhaba uloyiko ngokuthandaza "ewe," nangona wayecinga ukuba oku kungamzisela izilingo ezinzima, utshilo upopu.
UPopu Francis ubongoze abo baya kubaphulaphuli ngokubanzi ngokusasaza ngqo ukuba bathandaze ngamaxesha okuphumla.
“Umthandazo uyayazi indlela yokuthomalalisa ukungazinzi, uyayazi indlela yokuyiguqula ukuba ifumaneke… umthandazo uyayivula intliziyo yam kwaye indenze ndivuleleke kwintando kaThixo,” utshilo.
“Ukuba emthandazweni siyaqonda ukuba yonke imihla esiyinikwe nguThixo lubizo, iintliziyo zethu ziya kwanda kwaye siyakwamkela yonke into. Siza kufunda ukuthi: 'Ufuna ntoni, Nkosi. Ndithembise nje ukuba uya kuba lapho onke amanyathelo am. '"
"Oku kubalulekile: ukucela iNkosi ukuba ibekhona kuwo onke amanyathelo ohambo lwethu: ukuba angashiyi thina sodwa, nokuba angasilahli ekuhendweni, nokuba angasilahli ngexesha elibi, utshilo upopu.
Upopu uFrancis wachaza ukuba uMariya uvulelwe ilizwi likaThixo kwaye oku kukhokele amanyathelo akhe apho kufuneka khona ubukho bakhe.
Ubukho bukaMariya ngumthandazo, kwaye ubukho bakhe phakathi kwabafundi kwigumbi eliphezulu, belindele uMoya oyiNgcwele, kukuthandaza. Yiyo loo nto uMariya ezala iCawe, unguMama weCawe ”, utshilo.
“Omnye umntu wathelekisa intliziyo kaMariya neeperile yobuqaqawuli obungenakuthelekiswa nanto, eyakhiwe yaza yapolishwa ngokwamkela ngomonde ukuthanda kukaThixo ngeemfihlelo zikaYesu ezazicamngca ngomthandazo. Hayi indlela ebekuya kuba kuhle ngayo ukuba nathi besinokufana noMama wethu! "
