THANDAZA UKUTHOLA UKUFA OKUHLE

Nkosi ekhethe uSanta Barbara ukuze aduduze abaphilayo nabafayo, sinikeze imvume yakhe yokuhlala njalo othandweni lwakho lwaphezulu, futhi sibeke lonke ithemba lethu ekufanelweni nogqozi oluhlungu kakhulu lweNdodana yakho, ukuze ukufa kwesono ungalokothi usisole: kepha ukuthi sihlome ngamasakramente angcwele wokuphenduka, umthendeleko kanye nesinyunyana esidlulele, singahamba singesabi singene enkazimulweni yaphakade. Siyacela kuwe uJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu. Ngakho-ke makube njalo.

(Leo XIII, Mashi 21, 1879)
