Ibali likaMariya, uMama kaThixo
Ubunina bukaMariya bandisa ukukhanya kweKrisimesi. UMariya unendima ebalulekileyo ekufuneka eyidlalile ekuzalweni komzimba wesibini ka-Emnye oyiNgcwele. Uyavuma kwisimemo sikaThixo esenziwe yingelosi (Luka 1: 26-38). U-Elizabeth ubhengeza: “Usikelelwe phakathi kwabafazi; sinentsikelelo nesiqhamo sesizalo sakho. Kwaye kwenzeke njani kum, ukuba umama weNkosi yam eze kum? ”(Luka 1: 42-43, ugxininiso longezwa). Indima kaMariya njengomama kaThixo imbeka kwindawo ekhethekileyo kwisicwangciso sikaThixo sokuhlangula.
Ngaphandle kokukhankanya uMariya, uPaul uthi "uThixo wathumela uNyana wakhe, wazalwa ngumfazi, wazalwa phantsi komthetho" (KumaGalati 4: 4). Ukuqhubeka kukaPawulos esithi "uThixo uthumele umoya woNyana wakhe ezintliziyweni zethu, ekhala esithi," Abha, Bawo! "Isinceda siqonde ukuba uMariya ngumama wabo bonke abantakwabo Yesu noodade wabo.
Abanye abafundi bezakwalizwi baphinde bathi ukuba ngumama kukaMariya kukaYesu yinto ebalulekileyo kwisicwangciso sikaThixo sokuyila. Ingcinga kaThixo "yokuqala" kwindalo yayinguYesu. Kuba uYesu "wayengowokuqala" engqondweni kaThixo, uMariya "wayengowesibini" kuba wakhethwa kwasephakadeni ukuba abe ngunina.
Isihloko esichanekileyo esithi "uMama kaThixo" sibuyele emva kwinkulungwane yesithathu okanye yesine. Kwindlela yesiGrike uTheotokos (umthwali kaThixo), waba lilitye lokuchukumisa imfundiso yeCawa ekuZalweni komzimba. IBhunga lase-Efese ngo-431 lagxininisa ukuba abaBawo abangcwele babelungile ngokubiza intombi engcwele iTheotokos. Ekupheleni kwale seshoni, izihlwele zabantu zazihamba ezitalatweni zikhwaza zisithi: "Dumisani iTheotokos!" Isithethe sifikelela kwiintsuku zethu. Kwisahluko sayo sendima kaMariya eCaweni, uMgaqo-siseko waseVatican II kwiCawa ubiza uMariya ngokuthi "nguMama kaThixo" amatyeli ali-12.
