Inkcazo ethe kratya ngameva ebunzini likaSanta Rita
“Ngesinye isihlandlo umfo waseFranciscan ogama linguBeato Giacomo del Monte Brandone weza eCascia eze kushumayela kwicawa yaseS. Maria. Lo tata ulungileyo wayedume ngokufunda nokuthetha kakuhle, kwaye amazwi akhe ayenamandla okushukumisa ezona ntliziyo zilukhuni. Kuba uSanta Rita wayenqwenela ukuva umshumayeli ebhiyozelwa ngale ndlela, yena, ehamba nabanye oonongendi, baya kwicawa ekuthethwa ngayo. Umxholo wentshumayelo kaTata uYakobi yayingumdla wokufa kukaYesu Krestu. Ngamazwi ngokungathi ayalelwe liZulu, uFranciscan otyibilikayo wabalisa ibali lakudala, elidala neliqala ngeentlungu ezinkulu zeNkosi noMsindisi wethu uYesu Krestu. Kodwa olona luvo lubalaseleyo lwento yonke eyathethwa nguFranciscan yayibonakala ijolise kukubandezeleka okugqithisileyo okubangelwe sisithsaba sameva.

Emva kwentshumayelo, uSt. Rita wabuyela kwikhaya loonongendi ethwele onke amazwi awayethethwe nguBawo uYakobi ngesithsaba sameva. Emva kokundwendwela iSakramente Esikelelekileyo, uSanta Rita uthathe umhlala-phantsi kwindawo encinci yabucala, apho umzimba wakhe uphumle khona namhlanje, kwaye, njengentliziyo eyenzakeleyo, wayekulangazelela ukusela amanzi eNkosi ukuphelisa ukunxanelwa kweentlungu ezixhalabisayo. Enqwenela, waqubuda enyaweni yomnqamlezo kwaye waqala ukucamngca ngeentlungu ezifunyanwa nguMsindisi wethu isithsaba sameva esangena nzulu kwiitempile zakhe ezingcwele. Kwaye, ngomnqweno wokubandezeleka kancinane kwintlungu efunyanwa liqabane lakhe elingcwele, wacela uYesu ukuba amnike, ubuncinci, elinye lameva amaninzi wesithsaba sameva awayemngcungcuthekisa entlokweni yakhe engcwele, emxelela:
