Okthoba 13 isimangaliso selanga nezilingo zempilo
Ngomhlaka 13 Okthoba, njengabo bonke abantu abazinikele kwiNtombi Ezibusisiwe uMariya, sikhumbula isimangaliso selanga esenzeka ngo-1917. UMama wethu owavela eFatima ePortugal uthembisa abelusi abathathu abancane uLucia, uJacinta noFrancesco ukuthi uzokwenza isimangaliso, uphawu lokufakazela ubukhona bakhe. Ngo-13 Okthoba 1917 phambi kwabantu abangaphezu kwezinkulungwane ezingama-80 ilanga liyaphenduka, lishintshe umbala, lishaye, lenze izinto isayensi uqobo lwazo olungenakuzifakazela. Lezi zindaba zasakazeka ngendlela yokuthi ngisho nomagazini abangakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu babhala ngaleli qiniso.
Kungani uMama Wethu enze lokhu? Ufuna ukusitshela ukuthi ukhona, ukhona, ungumama wethu, useduze nathi.
Sinezivivinyo empilweni kepha ungesabi. Kumele sonke sibe nokholo futhi sibheke kulowo abamgwazile. Phakathi kwezehlakalo zempilo masingakhohlwa ukuthi sidalwe nguNkulunkulu sabuyela kuNkulunkulu. Sihluliwe kepha asihlulwa, sinqotshiwe kodwa siyaqhubeka nokusabela, siphansi kodwa siphinde sivuke. Izilingo empilweni zinengqondo ukuthi kuphela ekugcineni lapho singanikeza khona incazelo.
Ngakho-ke sonke kufanele sibe nokholo, sidlale indima yethu futhi sizinikele kulowo oyiNkosi yokuphila. Senginesiqiniseko sokuthi konke kuncike kuNkulunkulu wethu nalokho esikubiza ngokuthi ukuqondana kwezinto kuyizinto uNkulunkulu uqobo azihlelile ngaphambi kokuba sikucabange.
Ngakho ngithi kuwe, hlisa umoya. UMama wethu ukufakazela ukuthi useduze nawe, uNkulunkulu wakudala, uJesu uyakuthanda futhi wakuhlenga. Ukhathazeka ngani? Yezivivinyo zempilo? Umdali uzithumele kuwe uqobo futhi ukukunikeza amandla okunqoba.
Ngifuna ukuphetha ngomkhuleko ozenzekelayo wemigqa emine ku-Our Lady:
“O Mama othandekayo wena onamandla onke naphakade ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, phendulela amehlo akho kimi futhi uqondise izinyathelo zami. Cela intethelelo kwiNdodana yakho uJesu, ungivikele, ungibusise ungiphelezele. Ngiyakuthanda"
Ngo-Okthoba 13, uMama wethu uvela eFatima futhi ushintsha ilanga, uqondisa imicimbi yomhlaba nemvelo. Ngo-Okthoba 13, uMama Wethu uyakutshela "Ngilapha futhi ukhona?".
