Kule Mibono elandelayo u-Anna Katharina Emmerich wayeholwa ngu-Blessed Nicholas waseFlùe. Ngonyaka ka-1819, ngobusuku obandulela iSonto lesi-9, ngemva kwePhentekoste, ukulandisa kweVangeli elihlobene nedili lomshado kuyaphindaphinda. Ngabona uKlasi Obusisiwe, ikhehla elikhulu, elinezinwele ezingathi zesiliva zizungezwe umqhele ocwebezelayo ohlotshiswe ngamatshe ayigugu. Wayephethe umqhele wamatshe ayigugu, wayegqoke ihembe elinombala weqhwa elifika emaqakaleni. Ngambuza ukuthi kungani esikhundleni samakhambi ephethe umqhele ocwebezelayo kuphela ezandleni zakhe. Wabe eseqala ukukhuluma, kafushane futhi ngokungathí sina, mayelana nokufa kwami kanye nesiphetho sami. Wangitshela nokuthi ufuna ukungiholela ephathini enkulu yomshado. Wangibeka umqhele ekhanda lami ngakhuphuka naye phezulu. Sangena esigodlweni silenga emoyeni. Lapha bekumele ngibe umakoti kodwa nginamahloni futhi nginovalo. Ngangingasiboni isimo, ngazizwa nginamahloni anamandla. Esigodlweni bekunedili lomshado elingajwayelekile nelimangalisayo. Kwakubonakala sengathi kufanele ngiqaphele futhi ngibone kubahlanganyeli abameleli bazo zonke izimo zomphakathi kanye namazinga omhlaba, kanye nalokho ababekwenza ngokuhle nokubi. Isibonelo, uPhapha wayezomela bonke oPhapha bomlando, ababhishobhi abakhona, bonke ababhishobhi bomlando, njll. Ekuqaleni kwase kubekwe itafula labenkolo ababehlanganyela edilini lomshado. Ngabona uPapa nababhishobhi behlezi nabefundisi babo bebhince izingubo zabo. Bekanye nabanye abaningi bezenkolo abasezingeni eliphezulu nabaphansi, Bezungezwe ikhwaya yabaBusisiwe nabaNgcwele bozalo lwabo, okhokho babo nabaxhasi babo, ababesebenza kubo, behlulela, babathonya futhi banquma. Kuleli tafula kwakukhona nabashadile bezenkolo bezikhundla eziphakeme futhi ngamenywa ukuba ngihlale phakathi kwabo, njengabalingana nabo, nomqhele wami. Ngakwenza nakuba nganginamahloni kakhulu. Laba kwakungekona ukuphila kweqiniso futhi bengenayo imiqhele. Njengoba nganginamahloni, noma ubani owayengimemile wathatha indawo yami. Ukudla okwakusetafuleni kwakungokomfanekiso, hhayi izitsha zokudla zasemhlabeni. Ngaqonda ukuthi zonke izinto zingezikabani futhi ngafunda ngezinhliziyo zonke. Ngemuva kwegumbi lokudlela kwakunamanye amagumbi amaningi namahholo ezinhlobo ezahlukene abanye abantu ababengena kuwo bame. Abaningi bezenkolo baxoshwa etafuleni lomshado. Babengakufanele ukuhlala ngoba babexube namakholwa futhi bakhonze bona ngaphezu kweBandla uqobo. Baqale bajeziswa base bekhishwa etafuleni baphinde bahlanganiswa kwamanye amagumbi aseduze noma akude. Inani labalungileyo lahlala lilincane kakhulu. Leli kwakuyitafula lokuqala nehora lokuqala. Kwabe sekulungiswa elinye itafula engingahlalanga kulo kodwa ngahlala phakathi kwababukeli. UClaus Obusisiwe wayehlale engibambile ukuze angisize. Kwafika okukhulu. yababusi, amakhosi nababusi. Bahlala kuleli tafula lesibili, elalisebenzela amanye amakhosi amakhulu. Kulelitafula kwavela abaNgcwele kanye nokhokho babo. Amanye ama-regents athathe ulwazi kimi. Ngamangala futhi uClaus wayehlale engiphendulela. Abahlalanga isikhathi eside. Iningi lezimenywa bekungabohlobo olufanayo futhi izenzo zabo bezingezinhle, kodwa zibuthakathaka futhi zididekile. Abaningi abazange bahlale ngisho etafuleni base bekhishwa ngokushesha.
Khona-ke kwavela itafula lesikhulu esihlonishwayo, futhi ngabona phakathi kwabanye owesifazane oqotho womndeni okukhulunywa ngaye. Kwabe sekuvela itafula lonxiwankulu abacebile. Ngeke ngisho ukuthi bekunengeka kangakanani. Abaningi baxoshwa futhi kanye nontanga yabo abahlonishwayo baphonswa emgodini ogcwele ubulongwe, njengasendle. Elinye itafula lavela lisesimweni esihle, lapho kwakuhlala khona onxiwankulu abadala, abaqotho nabalimi. Kwakunabantu abaningi abalungile, ngisho nezihlobo zami nabantu engangibazi. Ngabona phakathi kwabo ubaba nomama. Kwabe sekuvela inzalo kaMfowethu uClaus, abantu abalungile ngempela nabanamandla onxiwankulu abaqondile. Kwafika abampofu nezinyonga, phakathi kwabo kwakukhona abantu abaningi abazinikele, kodwa nababi ababuyiselwa emuva. Kuningi engangikwenza ngabo. Lapho amadili amatafula ayisithupha esephelile, oNgcwele wangithatha. Wangiholela embhedeni wami ayengithathe kuwo. Ngangikhathele kakhulu futhi ngiqulekile, angikwazanga ukunyakaza noma ukuvuka, angizange nginikeze izimpawu, ngezwa sengathi ngikhubazekile. UClaus Obusisiwe wabonakala kimi kanye kuphela, kodwa ukuvakasha kwakhe kwaba nokubaluleka okukhulu empilweni yami, ngisho noma ngingakwazi ukukuqonda futhi angazi isizathu esiqondile salokho.
Isihogo
Esihogweni, u-Anna Katharina waba nombono olandelayo: Lapho ngibanjwe izinhlungu eziningi kanye nokugula ngaba yigwala ngempela futhi ngabubula. UNkulunkulu mhlawumbe ubenganginika usuku oluthule nje. Ngiphila njengasesihogweni. Ngabe sengikhuzwa kanzima ngumqondisi wami, wathi kimi:
"Ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi awusafanisi isimo sakho ngale ndlela, ngifuna ukukukhombisa isihogo." Ngakho-ke kungiholele enyakatho ekude, ohlangothini lapho umhlaba uqina khona, bese ukude kakhulu nomhlaba. Ngathola umbono wokuthi ngize endaweni embi. Kwehlulwa emikhondweni yogwadule lweqhwa, esifundeni esingaphezulu kwendawo yoMhlaba, kusukela engxenyeni esenyakatho yayo. Umgwaqo wawushiywe wedwa futhi lapho ngihamba kuwo ngabona ukuthi kuya kuba mnyama futhi kuba mnyama. Ngikhumbula nje engikubonile ngizwa umzimba wami wonke uthuthumela. Kwakuyizwe lokuhlupheka okungenamkhawulo, elifafazwe ngamabala amnyama, lapha nalaphaya lapho kwavela khona amalahle nomusi obukhulu; konke kwakumbozwe ebumnyameni obukhulu, njengobusuku baphakade ”. Indela eqotho yaboniswa kamuva, embonweni ocace kahle, ukuthi uJesu, ngokushesha ngemva kokwehlukana kwakhe nomzimba, wehlela kanjani eLimbo. Ekugcineni ngambona (iNkosi), eqhubeka ngamandla amakhulu eqonde phakathi kwalasha futhi esondela esihogweni. Sasibunjiwe njengedwala elikhulu, sikhanyiselwa ngumbala omubi nosimbi omnyama. Umnyango omkhulu omnyama wasebenza njengomnyango. Kwakuyinto eyethusayo ngempela, ivalwe ngamabhulukwe nama-incandescent amabhlomu aqinisa umuzwa wokwesaba. Kungazelelwe ngezwa ukugquma, ukumemeza okwesabekayo, amasango avuleka kwavela umhlaba omubi nowonakele. Lomhlaba uqondana ncamashi nokuqhele okuphambene nalokho kweJerusalema lasezulwini nezimo ezingenakubalwa zokushaywa ngamandla, idolobha elinezingadi ezihluke kakhulu, ligcwele izithelo nezimbali ezinhle, kanye nendawo yokuhlala yabaNgcwele. Konke lokho kwabonakala kimi kwakuhlukile. Konke kwakuqukethe uphawu lwesiqalekiso, sosizi nokuhlupheka. Ethempelini lasezulwini konke kwavela njengokulinganisa koBusisiwe futhi kwahleleka ngokwezizathu nangobudlelwano bokuthula okungenamkhawulo bokuvumelana okuphakade; lapha kunalokho yonke into ibonakala ngokungafani, ekukhathaleni, ukucwiliswa yintukuthelo nokuphelelwa yithemba. Ezulwini ungacabanga ngezakhiwo ezinhle nezingenakuchazwa zokuchichima okuhle okungenakuchazeka, lapha okuphambene ngqo: amajele angenakubalwa nawonakele, imigwaqo yokuhlupheka, isiqalekiso, ukuphelelwa yithemba; laphaya epharadesi, kunezingadi ezinhle kakhulu ezigcwele izithelo zokudla kwaphezulu, lapha ugwadule olunenzondo namaxhaphozi agcwele izinhlupheko nezinhlungu nakho konke izinto ezesabekayo ongazicabanga. Ukuthanda, ukucabanga, injabulo nentokozo, amathempeli, ama-altare, izinqaba, imifudlana, imifula, amachibi, amasimu amangalisayo kanye nomphakathi obusisiwe nonobunye wabaNgcwele, isibuko sithathelwa indawo esihogweni siphikisana noMbuso kaNkulunkulu onokuthula, ukudabuka, okuphakade. ukungezwani kwabalahliwe. Onke amaphutha abantu namanga abantu ayegxile kule ndawo efanayo futhi kwabonakala izibonakaliso eziningi zokuhlupheka nobuhlungu. Akukho lutho olwalulungile, kwakungekho mcabango oqinisekisayo, njengowobulungiswa baphezulu.
Kuthe kusenjalo kwashintsha kwavuleka iminyango yiziNgelosi, kwaba nokungqubuzana, ukubaleka, ukuthukwa, ukuklabalasa nokukhononda. Izingelosi ezingabodwa zanqoba imimoya emibi yonke. Wonke umuntu kwakufanele aqaphele uJesu futhi akhulekele. Lokhu kwakungukuhlushwa kwabagwetshiwe. Inani elikhulu labo laliboshwe ngamaketanga lizungeza abanye. Enkabeni yethempeli kwakunomgodi wakwalasha osibekelwe ubumnyama, uLusifa waboshwa waphonswa phakathi njengoba kunyuka umhwamuko omnyama. Izenzakalo ezinjalo zenzeka ngemva kwemithetho ethile yaphezulu.
Uma ngingaphosisi ngaba nomuzwa wokuthi uLusifa uzokhululwa futhi amaketango akhe asuswe, iminyaka engamashumi amahlanu noma ayisithupha ngaphambi kweminyaka yama-2000 AD, isikhathi esithile. Ngaba nomuzwa wokuthi ezinye izenzakalo zizokwenzeka ngezikhathi ezithile, kodwa lokho sengikhohliwe. Eminye imiphefumulo elahliwe kwadingeka ukuba ikhululwe ukuze iqhubeke ihlushwa isijeziso sokuyengelwa esilingweni futhi ibhubhise okwezwe. Ngikholelwa ukuthi lokhu kwenzeka esikhathini sethu, okungenani kwabanye babo; abanye bazokhululwa esikhathini esizayo ”.
Ngomhla ziyisi-8 kuMasingana, 1820 eMtinster, u-Overberg wanika umfundisi u-Niesing wase-Diilmen imbiza emise okombhoshongo equkethe izinsalela zika-Anna Katharina, owashiya u-Miinster waya e-DUlmen nembiza ekhwapheni. Nakuba uDade Emmerich ayengazi lutho ngenjongo ka-Overberg yokumthumelela lezi zinsalela, wabona umfundisi ebuyela e-Dtilmen nelangabi elimhlophe ekhwapheni lakhe. Kamuva wathi, “Ngamangala ngendlela engashi ngayo, futhi ngacishe ngamoyizela njengoba ehamba engakuboni nhlobo ukukhanya kwelangabi elinombala wothingo. Ngaqale ngabona lamalangabi anombala kuphela, kodwa lapho esondela endlini yami ngalibona leli bhodwe. Indoda yadlula emzini wami yaqhubeka. Angikwazanga ukuthola izinsalela. Ngazisola ngempela ngokuthi wayebalethe ngaphesheya kwedolobha. Leli qiniso langiphatha kabi kakhulu. Ngakusasa uNiesing wamnika imbiza. Wajabula kakhulu. Ngomhla ziyi-12 kuMasingana watshela “umhambi” ngombono wesalela: “Ngabona umphefumulo wensizwa isondela isesimweni esigcwele ubukhazikhazi, futhi igqoke ingubo efana neyomqondisi wami. I-halo emhlophe yakhanya ekhanda lakhe futhi wangitshela ukuthi wayenqobe ukucindezela kwezinzwa futhi ngenxa yalokho uthole insindiso. Ukunqoba imvelo kwakwenzeke ngokuqhubekayo. Eseyingane, naphezu komzwelo wakhe ongokwemvelo owawumtshela ukuba aklebhule ama-roses, akazange akwenze, ngakho waqala ukunqoba ubushiqela bemizwa. Ngemva kwale nhlolokhono ngangena ebumnandini, futhi ngathola Umbono omusha: Ngabona lomphefumulo, njengomfana oneminyaka eyishumi nantathu, ematasatasa ngemidlalo eyahlukene engadini yokuzijabulisa enhle nenkulu; wayenesigqoko esiyinqaba, ijakhethi ephuzi, evulekile futhi eqinile, ehla ebhulukweni, emikhononi eduze kwesandla sakhe kukhona uleyisi wendwangu. Amabhulukwe ayeboshwe kakhulu wonke ohlangothini olulodwa. Ingxenye enentambo yayingowomunye umbala. Amadolo ebhulukwe ayenemibala, izicathulo zaziqinile futhi ziboshwe ngamaribhoni. Ingadi yayinothango oluhle olusikiwe kanye namaqhugwana amaningi nezindlu zokudlala, ezaziyindilinga ngaphakathi nezinezinhlangothi ezine ngaphandle. Kwakukhona namasimu anezihlahla eziningi, okwakusebenza kuwo abantu. Lezi zisebenzi zazigqoke njengabelusi basembhedeni wezindelakazi. Ngakhumbula ngesikhathi ngincika phezu kwawo ngiwabuka noma ngiwalungisa. Le nsimu kwakungeyabantu abahlukene ababehlala edolobheni elibalulekile njengaleyo ngane. Engadini yayivunyelwe ukuhamba. Ngabona izingane zigxuma ngenjabulo futhi ziphuka ama roses amhlophe nabomvu. Intsha ebusisiwe yawunqoba ukuhlakanipha kwakhe naphezu kokuthi abanye babeka izihlahla ezinkulu zama-rose phambi kwekhala lakhe. Ngalesi sikhathi lomphefumulo obusisekile wangitshela: “Ngafunda ukuzinqoba kobunye ubunzima:
komakhelwane kwakukhona intombazane eyayinobuhle obumangalisayo, umngane wami engangidlala naye, ngangimthanda ngothando olukhulu olungenacala. Abazali bami babezinikele futhi bafunda okuningi ezintshumayelweni futhi mina, enganginabo, ngangivame ukuzwa kuqala esontweni ukuthi kubaluleke kangakanani ukugada izilingo. Kuphela ngobudlova obukhulu nokuzinqoba ngakwazi ukugwema ubuhlobo nentombazane, njengoba kamuva kwaba ngenxa yokulahla ama-roses ". Wathi eqeda ukukhuluma ngabona le ntombi nto, iyinhle kakhulu futhi iqhakaza njenge rozi, ibheke edolobheni. Umuzi omuhle wabazali bomntwana wawusesigcawini esikhulu semakethe, wawunesimo esingunxantathu. Izindlu zazakhiwe phezu kwamakhothamo. Uyise wayengumthengisi ocebile. Ngafika endlini ngabona abazali, nezinye izingane. Kwakuwumndeni omuhle, wobuKristu futhi ozinikele. Uyise wayehweba ngewayini nezindwangu; wayegqoke ubukhazikhazi futhi enesikhwama semali sesikhumba eceleni kwakhe. Wayeyisidudla esikhulu. Umama naye wayengowesifazane onamandla, enezinwele eziwugqinsi futhi ezimangalisayo. Ijaha leli laliyizibulo labantwana balaba bantu abalungileyo. Ngaphandle komuzi kwakumi amakalishi athwele impahla. Enkabeni yemakethe kwakunomthombo omangalisayo ozungezwe insimbi yobuciko enezithombe ezinamachashaza zamadoda adumile; phakathi komthombo kwakumi umfanekiso wobuciko othela amanzi.
Emagumbini omane emakethe kwakunezakhiwo ezincane ezifana namabhokisi onogada. Idolobha, ebelibonakala liseJalimane, lakhiwe endaweni ene-menda emithathu; ngakolunye uhlangothi wawuzungezwe umsele, kolunye umfula owawugobhoza; yayinamasonto ayisikhombisa, kodwa ingenayo imibhoshongo ebaluleke kakhulu. Uphahla lwalutshekile, lukhombe, kodwa ingaphambili lendlu yomfana lalinama-quadrangular. Ngabona laba beza esigodlweni esicezile bezofunda. Indlu yezindela yayisentabeni lapho amagilebhisi ayekhula khona futhi cishe amahora ayishumi nambili ukusuka edolobheni likayise. Wayekhuthele kakhulu futhi eshiseka kakhulu futhi ethembela kuMama Ongcwele kaNkulunkulu. Lapho engakuqondi okuthile ezincwadini, wakhuluma nomfanekiso kaMariya emtshela: "Ufundise uMntwana wakho, futhi ungumama wami, ngifundise. futhi!" Ngakho ngolunye usuku uMariya wabonakala kuye mathupha futhi waqala ukumfundisa. Wayengenacala ngokuphelele, elula futhi elula kuye futhi engafuni ukuba umpristi ngenxa yokuthobeka, kodwa waziswa ngokuzinikela kwakhe. Wahlala esigodlweni iminyaka emithathu, wabe esegula kakhulu washona eneminyaka engamashumi amabili nantathu. Naye wangcwatshwa endaweni efanayo. Umngane wakhe wathandaza kakhulu ethuneni lakhe iminyaka eminingana. Akakwazanga ukunqoba izinkanuko zakhe futhi kaningi wawela ezonweni; wabeka ithemba elikhulu kumufi futhi wamthandazela ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka. Ekugcineni umphefumulo wale nsizwa wabonakala kuye futhi wamtshela ukuthi kufanele aveze obala uphawu oluyisiyingi emunweni wakhe olwakhiwe indandatho, ayeluthole phakathi nomshado wakhe ongaqondakali noJesu noMariya. Umuntu ojwayelene naye kwakufanele enze lombono waziwe, kanye nengxoxo ehlobene nayo ukuze wonke umuntu, ngemva kokuthola uphawu emzimbeni wakhe, aqiniseke ngobuqiniso balombono.
Umngane wenza njalo, futhi wazisa umbono. Isidumbu sambiwa kwatholakala ukuthi kukhona uphawu emunweni. Insizwa eshonile ayizange ingcwaliswe, kodwa umfanekiso weSt. Louis wangikhumbuza ngokucacile.
Umphefumulo walensizwa wangiyisa endaweni efana neJerusalema lasezulwini. Yonke into yayibonakala ikhanya futhi i-diaphano. Ngafika esigcawini esikhulu esizungezwe izakhiwo ezinhle nezicwebezelayo lapho, phakathi nendawo, kwakunetafula elide elimbozwe izifundo ezingachazeki. Ngabona izinhlobonhlobo zezimbali ziphuma ezakhiweni ezine eziphambi kwazo ezifika phakathi nendawo yetafula, lapho zihlangana khona, zawela futhi zakha umqhele owodwa ohlotshisiwe. Ngaphakathi kwalo mqhele omuhle ngabona amagama kaJesu noMariya ecwebezela. Iminsalo yayigcwele izimbali zezinhlobonhlobo eziningi, izithelo nezithombe ezikhazimulayo. Ngayibona incazelo yakho konke nakho konke, njengoba leyo mvelo yayilokhu ingaphakathi kimi, njengakuzo zonke izidalwa ezingabantu. Ezweni lethu lasemhlabeni lokhu akukwazi ukuvezwa ngamazwi. Buqamama nezakhiwo, ngakolunye uhlangothi kuphela, kwakunamasonto amabili ananxantathu, elinye linikezelwe kuMariya, elinye kuMntwana uJesu. Kuleyo ndawo, eduze kwezakhiwo ezikhanyayo, imiphefumulo yezingane ezibusisiwe yazulazula emoyeni. Babegqoka izingubo ababenazo besaphila futhi ngabona abaningi engangidlala nabo phakathi kwabo. Abafa ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Imiphefumulo yeza ukungihlangabeza ukuze ingamukele. Ngiqale ngibabone bekuleli fomu, base bethatha ukungaguquguquki komzimba njengoba bebekade bekhona ngempela empilweni. Phakathi kwawo wonke umuntu ngasheshe ngabona u-Gasparino, umfowabo omncane ka-Dierik, umfana ononya kodwa engeyena omubi, owashona eneminyaka eyishumi nanye kulandela ukugula okude nokubuhlungu. Weza ukungihlangabeza futhi, engiqondisa, wangichazela konke, ngamangala ukubona uGasparino odelela emuhle futhi emuhle. Lapho ngimchazela ngokumangala kwami ngokufika kulendawo, waphendula: “Awuzi ngezinyawo zakho lapha kodwa ngomphefumulo wakho”. Lokhu kubuka kwangijabulisa kakhulu. Ngabe sengibala izinkumbulo ezithile ngathi kimi: “Ngake ngalola umbese wakho ukuze ngikusize ungazi. Ngabe sengiwunqoba umzwelo wami ukuze kuzuze mina. Unyoko ukunikile okusikayo, wahluleka ngoba ummese wawungakhali, waphelelwa yithemba wakhala. Wesaba ukuthi umama wakho uzokuthethisa. Ngabona ngathi, “Ngifuna ukubona ukuthi umama uyakhala yini; kodwa ngokunqoba lo mqondo ophansi ngacabanga: “Ngifuna ukulola ummese omdala”. Ngikwenzile futhi ngakusiza, kwazuzisa umphefumulo wami. Wake wakubona ukuthi ezinye izingane zidlala kabi, awusafuni ukudlala nathi uthi imidlalo emibi leyo, wayohlala ethuneni ukhala. Ngize emva kwakho ngizobuza ukuthi kungani, wangitshela ukuthi kukhona owakuxosha, wanginika ithuba lokungenza ngicabange futhi, ngokunqoba imizwa yami, ngayeka ukudlala. Lokhu kuphinde kwangilethela inzuzo enhle. Enye inkumbulo ngemidlalo yethu yilapho sijikijelana ngama-apula awile, futhi wena wathi akufanele. Impendulo yami, ukuthi uma singakwenzi, abanye bazosicasula, wena wathi "akufanele sinikeze abanye ithuba lokusicasula futhi basenze sithukuthele," futhi awuzange uphonse ama-apula, ngakho-ke ngenza futhi ngadonsa kubo. inzuzo. Ngake ngakujikijela ngethambo usizi lwalesi senzo lwahlala enhliziyweni yami.
Simisiwe emoyeni sasondela etafuleni elibekwe emakethe elithola ikhwalithi yokudla maqondana nezivivinyo eziphasile futhi sasikwazi ukunambitha kuphela ngenxa yalokho esikuqondayo. Kwabe sekuphakama izwi: "Yilabo kuphela abakwazi ukuqonda lezi zitsha abangazinambitha." Izitsha eziningi zaziyizimbali, izithelo, amatshe acwebezelayo, imifanekiso namakhambi, okwakunezinto ezingokomoya ezihlukile kulokho ezinakho emhlabeni. Lezi zitsha zazizungezwe ubukhazikhazi obungachazeki ngokuphelele futhi zaziqukethwe emapuletini acwiliswe ngamandla amangalisayo angaqondakali. Itafula laligcwele izingilazi zekristalu ezinezibalo ezimise okwepheya, lapho ngake ngaba khona imithi. Esinye sezifundo zokuqala sasinemire enethamo elimangalisayo Endishini ecwebile kwavela inkomishi encane, isivalo sayo esinephommel futhi phezu kwetafula. okufanayo isiphambano esincane futhi isiphetho. Eceleni kwekhasi kwakunezinhlamvu ezigqamile zombala oluhlaza sasibhakabhaka. Ngangingakwazi ukukhumbula umbhalo engangihlangana nawo esikhathini esizayo. Ezitsheni kwaphuma izixha ezinhle kakhulu zemure ezimise okwepyramidal eziphuzi neziluhlaza ezazingena ngqo ezitsheni. Le mure yabonakala njengeqoqo lamaqabunga anezimbali ezixakile njengamagatsha amahle kakhulu; ngenhla kwakukhona ihlumela elibomvu elaligqamile ngokunsomi okuhle okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Ukubaba kwalemure kwaletha iphunga elimnandi neliqinisayo emoyeni. Lesi sidlo ngasithola ngoba ngasese, ngokuthula, ngangithwele umunyu enhliziyweni yami. Kulawo ma-apula engingazange ngiwathathe ukuze ngiwajikijele kwabanye, ngijabulele ama-apula akhanyayo. Babebaningi, behlangene egatsheni linye.
Ngaphinde ngathola isidlo esihlobene nesinkwa esiqinile engangisihlanganyele nabampofu, esiwucezu lwesinkwa esiqinile kodwa esicwebezelayo njengekristalu enemibala eminingi eyayibonakala epuletini eliyikristalu. Ngenxa yokugwema umdlalo odelelayo, ngathola isudi emhlophe. UGasparino wangichazela konke. Ngakho saya sisondela eduze kwetafula futhi ngabona itshe epuletini lami, njengoba ngenza esikhathini esidlule esigodlweni sezindela. Ngabe sengitshelwa ukuthi ngaphambi kokuba ngife ngizothola ingubo netshe elimhlophe, okwakunegama engangikwazi ukufunda ngalo ngedwa. Ekupheleni kwetafula, uthando ngomakhelwane womuntu lwalubuyiselwa, lumelwe izingubo, izithelo, izingoma, ama-roses amhlophe nawo wonke amhlophe, anezitsha ezinobunjwa obumangalisayo. Angikwazi ukukuchaza konke ngendlela efanele. UGasparino wangitshela: “Manje sifuna ukukubonisa umbhede wethu omncane, ngoba ubulokhu uthanda ukudlala ngezingane ezinkudlwana”. Ngakho sonke saqonda emasontweni, ngokushesha singena ebandleni likaMama kaNkulunkulu okwakukhona kulo iqembu labahlabeleli elihlala njalo ne-altare okwavezwa kulo zonke izithombe zokuphila kukaMariya; nxazonke wawubona amakhwaya abakhonzayo. Ngaleli bandla safika endlini yombhede ebekwe kwelinye ibandla, lapho kwakukhona i-altare elinomfanekiso wokuzalwa kweNkosi kanye nazo zonke izithombe zokuphila kwayo kuze kufike kuleso seSidlo Sokugcina; njengoba ngangihlale ngikubona eMibondweni.

Wabe eseqhubeka: «Ngafika endaweni ephakeme, ngaba nombono wokukhuphukela engadini lapho kwakubukiswe khona izithelo ezinhle kangaka, futhi amanye amatafula ayehlotshiswe ngokucebile, enezipho eziningi. Ngabona kuqhamuka imiphefumulo yonke eyayizulazula. Abanye balaba babebambe iqhaza emsebenzini womhlaba ngezifundo zabo nomsebenzi, futhi basiza abanye. Lemiphefumulo yathi ifika nje yaqala ukuhlakazeka ensimini. Base beqhamuka belandelana, bemukela itafula bathathe umvuzo wabo. Maphakathi nengadi kwakumi insika eyihafu eyindilinga emise okwezitebhisi, egcwele izinto ezinhle kakhulu ezijabulisayo. Ngaphambili nasezinhlangothini zombili zengadi, abampofu babecindezela futhi befuna okuthile ngokubonisa izincwadi. Le nsimu yayinokuthile okufana nomnyango omuhle, okwakungabonakala kuwo umgwaqo. Kusukela kulo mnyango ngabona kuza udwendwe olwakhiwe imiphefumulo yalabo ababekhona abakha udweshu ezinhlangothini ezimbili, ukwamukela nokwamukela abafikayo okwakukhona phakathi kwabo uStolberg obusisiwe. Bahamba ngodwendwe oluhlelekile futhi bephethe amafulege nemiqhele yezimbali. Abane kubo babethwele emahlombe abo udoti wokuhlonipha, lapho oNgcwele ayelele uhhafu eqamele, kwakubonakala sengathi abathwele isisindo. Abanye bamlandele kanti ababelindele ukufika kwakhe babephethe izimbali nezimbali. Enye yalezi nayo yayisekhanda likamufi, ihlanganiswe nama roses amhlophe, amatshe amatshe nezinkanyezi ezicwebezelayo. Umqhele wawungafakwanga ekhanda lakhe, kodwa wazulazula phezu kwawo, wahlala ulenga. Ekuqaleni le miphefumulo yabonakala kimi yonke ifana, njengoba kwenzeka kubantwana, kodwa-ke kwabonakala sengathi yilowo nalowo unesimo sakhe, futhi ngabona ukuthi yilabo abasebenza ngomsebenzi nokufundisa abaholela abanye ensindisweni. Ngabona uStolberg ezulazula emoyeni phezu kwemfucumfucu yakhe, eyanyamalala njengoba esondela eziphiweni zakhe. Ngemuva kwekholomu eyisigamu esiyindilinga kwavela iNgelosi ngenkathi isesinyathelweni sesithathu saso, igcwele izithelo eziyigugu, amavazi nezimbali, ingalo yaphuma yanikeza abantu abazungezile incwadi evuliwe. INgelosi yamukela imiphefumulo ezungezile, izincwadi, lapho yaphawula okuthile futhi yayibeka esitebhisini sesibili sekholomu, ohlangothini lwayo; wabe esenikeza imiphefumulo imibhalo emikhulu nemincane, eyathi, edlula ngesandla, yandiswa. Ngabona ohlangothini lapho uStolberg ayekhona, kunemibhalo eminingi emincane epheqa. Lokhu kimi kwakubonakala kuwubufakazi bokuqhubeka kwasezulwini komsebenzi wasemhlabeni wemiphefumulo enjalo.
U-Blessed Stolberg wathola, "engalweni" eyavela kukholomu, ipuleti elikhulu elikhanyayo, phakathi nendawo lapho kwavela i-chalice enhle futhi ezungeze leli gilebhisi, izinkwa ezincane, amatshe ayigugu namabhodlela e-crystal. Imiphefumulo yayiphuza emabhodleleni futhi ijabulela konke. UStolberg wahlukanisa konke, ngamunye ngamunye. Imiphefumulo yaxhumana yodwa belula izandla, ekugcineni bonke baholelwa phezulu bayobonga iNkosi.
