Ukuthantamisa kwengelosi egadayo xa sisona
Ozinikeleyo kwiNgelosi yoMgcini (uDon Bosco)
Ukulunga koMgcini wethu onothando akuyeki naxa siwela esonweni esithile. Kuyinyani ukuba ngalo mzuzu ungathandekiyo apho sonayo, ingelosi yethu elungileyo iphantse yarhoxa kuthi ngokucekisa, kubonakala ngathi igcuma kakhulu ziintlungu. Kwaye nangona imeko yakhe ebalaseleyo edada kulwandle olumnandi loxolo, kuyo nayiphi na imeko intiyo ekhokelela kwityala ibonakala imenza agqithe kulwandle lweenyembezi: Angeli pacis amo flebunt. Nangona kunjalo, nangona bejamelene nokungcungcuthekiswa ngabo bonayo phantsi kwamehlo akhe amsulwa, nangona behlehlisiwe kwanomoya ombi; ke ngoko akarhoxisi, {38 [124]} kwaye akabashiyi abo babemcaphukisa, kodwa uyasokola kwaye uyafihla, kwaye akashiyi kwanto ukuze abuyise loo mphefumlo ungonwabanga othandekayo kuyo yonke into. Into entle! Cingisisa apha s. UPier Damiani, sonke kwaye ngeendlela ezininzi siyabacaphukisa aba bathandi bangabagcini, kwaye uthando lwabo kodwa luyasicinezela, inene ndingasokola, bayaqhubeka nokusinceda, kwaye ukuzixhalabisa kwethu kuyakhula kwaye kube nenceba kubo, kuba olona lusizi kwaye luthetha. Ngendlela yokuba intliziyo kamama ithambe ngakumbi, apho ukugula komntwana othandekayo kuye kusiba kubi ngakumbi; ke umlondolozi wethu onothando ujonge umphefumlo wethu kwimeko enenyembezi, bonke bashukunyiselwa yena, baqhubela phambili izenzo zakhe zokuzinikela enyaweni yetrone kaThixo, bayathethelela kwaye bathethe ngoluhlobo: Owu Nkosi, yiba nenceba kulo mphefumlo uphathisiweyo. ; nguwe wedwa onokuyikhulula, kwaye ngaphandle kwakho ilahlekile: et dicet free eum ut non descat in corruptionem. Uzisa ezizicelo {39 [125]} kwitrone enenceba ka Yesu uMkhululi, ubazisa kwela likaMariya, igwiba laboni; kwaye enkosi kumlamleli onamandla anje, ubulungisa bukaThixo abuzukuvunywa njani?
Ewe, ukuba ukuxhathisa kwethu kubaninzi kwaye sinothando olunjalo lomlondolozi olungileyo bekungekho ngqwabalala, akukho mntu uya kuze abone ilanga litshona kwimpazamo yakhe, ngaphandle kokutyala kwaye akucamagushele ngokuzisola okuchumileyo. Kodwa naxa esibona simadolw 'anzima amazwi akhe uyayeka ukusithanda, atyhale, ngamanye amaxesha unika isandla sakhe kwintonga yokulungisa kunye neentlekele, nokuphulukana nobutyebi, esikholelwa ukuba ngamashwangusha, kwaye ziziyolo zengelosi yethu, ngubani owaziyo ukuthanda nokulungisa, kwaye uyazi ukuba angasijika njani isohlwayo ngokufanelekileyo. Kukuphi na enzonzobileni kwezono angatshonanga kuko uBalaamo, ade afune ukuqalekisa abantu bakaThixo? kodwa ingelosi yayiqale yamnciphisela kwisitalato esixineneyo, yambonisa ephethe ikrele elaliphethe ngesandla, yamxelela ukuba uze kuphula amanyathelo akhe, kuba amanyathelo akhe ayephambene kwaye egwenxa. Kungoko ndibone ukuba uBalaamo utshintshiwe yiNgelosi; Ke imini yonke iintliziyo ezininzi zibonwa ziguquka, kuqala zingenabuntu, emva koko zibe phakathi kobunzima, phakathi kwehlazo elenziwa yiNgelosi ukuba bazive beguquka kwiimpazamo zabo, babuyela kwindlela ethe tye yesidima; kwaye ke ngoko uvuyo olonwabisayo iNgelosi engcwele! Ngokuchwayita, ubhabhela phezulu ezulwini esiya kuwo onke amaqonga eengelosi amatheko amatsha, ngokwelizwi likaMhlawuleli, kwiigusha ezilahlekileyo kwaye ngolonwabo abuyiselwe ebuhlanti. IGaudium erit in coelo super un poenitentiam agent umoni (Luc. 40, 126). Oyena Mlondolozi wam unyamezeleyo, kukude kangakanani ukuba ungathanda ukufikelela kwiigusha ezinxaxhileyo zomphefumlo wam ezibayeni zikaYesu? Ndiva amazwi endibiza, kodwa ndiyabaleka kuwe, njengomnye umhla kaKayin enobuso obuvela kuThixo. Hayi! Andisafuni ukuphinda ndidinwe umonde wakho. Ndibeka lo mphefumlo ezandleni zakho, {14 [7]} ukuze ukwazi ukuwubeka ezandleni zomalusi olungileyo uYesu. lo mthendeleko wam: Mna ngezinyembezi zam ezonweni zam ndiza kuwunika umxholo, wena ngovuyo uqhubeke ekuguqukeni kwam.
UMSEBENZI
Baleka ngaphezu kwesibetho kwiinkampani ezimbi kunye neengxoxo ezikrokrisayo, phakathi kwazo ingelosi yakho enhle ingakubona nje ngokukrakra, kuba umphefumlo wakho usengozini. Emva koko unokuthembisa ngokuzithemba ngoncedo lweNgelosi, ubabalo lukaThixo.
UMZEKELO
Yeyiphi imvakalelo evela kubalondolozi bethu abanothando xa siwela esonweni, kwaye yeyiphi inkathalo abayithathayo ukusibuyisela elubabalweni, iyaziwa koko uCesario akuthethayo ngoLiffardo odumileyo. Uzalelwe kusapho oluhloniphekileyo, kwaye wenza inkolo, {42 [128]} ngokwenza intobeko wayalelwa ngoyena mkhulu ukuba azalisekise ezona ofisi ziphantsi. Iminyaka ethile wayibamba le ndawo yakhe enomzekelo obalaseleyo wokulunga, xa ngenye imini umoya ongcolileyo wamlingayo ngekratshi, emmela isingcikivo esabuyela kwimeko yakhe entle, ngenxa yokuba wayeyigwala. Esi silingo saba namandla kangangokuba imonki elusizi sele igqibe ekubeni iyeke inkolo yayo ibaleke, ngaphandle kokuba ngelixa ezo ngcinga bezimkhathaza, ebusuku ingilosi yakhe ebonakala ikwimo yomntu yabonakala kuye yathi kuye: « Yiza undilandele. ULiffardo wathobela, kwaye wakhokelelwa ukuba atyelele amangcwaba. Ekuzulazuleni kokuqala kwezo ndawo, ekuboneni kwala mathambo, kunuka loo fracidume, wabanjwa kukoyikeka, kangangokuba wacela ingelosi ukuba ifumane umhlala-phantsi. Umkhokeli wasezulwini wamqhubela phambili, emva koko ngelizwi eligunyazisiweyo, emngcikiva ngenxa yokungaguquguquki kwakhe. «Nawe, wamxelela, kungekudala uza kuba yintshulube yeentshulube, imfumba yothuthu. Yabona ke, ukuba unokuyithathela ingqalelo, ukunika indawo kwikratshi, ukufulathela uThixo, kuba ungafuni ukunyamezela isenzo sokuthotywa, onokuzithenga ngaso isithsaba sobuqaqawuli obungunaphakade. Kule ngcikivo uLiffardo waqala ukulila, wacela uxolo ngesiphoso sakhe, wathembisa ukuba uya kuthembeka ngakumbi kubizo lwakhe. Ngeli xesha, iNgelosi yambuyisela egumbini lakhe, wanyamalala, ehleli kwizigqibo zakhe ezinyanisekileyo de kwasekufeni kwakhe. (ICes. ILib. 43, 129).
