Ukuzinikela kuPadre Pio: umcabango wakhe ngoJuni 4nd
1. Thina ngomusa waphezulu sisekuqaleni konyaka omusha; kulo nyaka, okuyiwona kuphela owazi uNkulunkulu ukuthi sizobona ukuphela, konke kumele kuqashwe kulungiswe okwedlule, ukuphakamisa ikusasa; futhi imisebenzi engcwele ihambisana nezinhloso ezinhle.
2. Sithi kithina ngokuqiniseka okugcwele kokukhuluma iqiniso: mphefumulo wami, qala ukwenza okuhle namuhla, ngoba awenzanga lutho kuze kube manje. Masiqhubeke ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu.UNkulunkulu uyangibona, sivame ukuphindisela kuye uqobo, futhi ngesenzo sokuthi ungibona, uyangihlulela futhi. Masiqinisekise ukuthi ngaso sonke isikhathi akaboni ukuphela kokuhle kithi.
3. Labo abanesikhathi abalindi isikhathi. Asibeki kude kuze kube kusasa ukuthi yini esingayenza namuhla. Kokuhle lapho imigodi iphonswa emuva…; bese kuthi-ke ngubani othi kithi kusasa sizophila? Masilalele izwi likanembeza wethu, izwi lomprofethi wangempela: "Namuhla uma uzwa izwi leNkosi, ungafuni ukuvimba indlebe yakho". Siyasukuma futhi siyabazisa, ngoba ukuphela kwangempela okubalekayo kusizinda sethu. Masingabeki isikhathi phakathi kwaso masinyane.
4. O yeka isikhathi esiyigugu! Babusisiwe labo ukuthi bayazi ukuthi bangayisebenzisa kanjani ngokunenzuzo, ngoba wonke umuntu, ngosuku lokwahlulela, kuzofanela anikeze i-akhawunti enkulu ijaji eliphakeme. O ukube wonke umuntu angaqonda ukubaluleka kwesikhathi, ngokuqinisekile wonke umuntu ubengazama ukusisebenzisa ngokuncomekayo!
5. "Ake siqale namuhla bazalwane, ukwenza okuhle, ngoba akukho esingakwenza kuze kube manje". Lawa magama, ubaba weserafi uSt. Francis ngokuzithoba kwakhe awasebenza kuye, ake siwenze abe ngowethu ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka omusha. Asenzanga lutho kuze kube manje, noma akukho okunye, okuncane kakhulu; iminyaka ilandelane ukusukuma nokubeka ngaphandle kwethu sizibuza ukuthi sisebenzise kanjani; uma kungekho lutho lokulungisa, ukwengeza, ukuthatha ekuziphatheni kwethu. Siphila ngokungalindele kungathi ngolunye usuku ijaji laphakade bekungeke lisifonele lisibuze i-akhawunti yomsebenzi wethu, ukuthi sasisebenzisa kanjani isikhathi sethu.
Kodwa-ke umzuzu ngamunye kuzofanele sinikeze i-akhawunti esondele kakhulu, yazo zonke izinhlaka zomusa, zazo zonke izikhuthazo ezingcwele, zazo zonke izikhathi esangeniswa kithi ukwenza okuhle. Ukweqa umthetho omncane kakhulu kaNkulunkulu kuzonakwa.
6. Ngemuva kweNkazimulo, yithi: "UJoseph oNgcwele, asikhulekele!".
7. Lezi zimfanelo ezimbili kumele zihlale ziqine, ubumnandi bomakhelwane bakho kanye nokuthobeka okungcwele noNkulunkulu.
8. I-Blasphemy yindlela ephephe kunazo zonke yokuya esihogweni.
9. Ngcwelisa iphathi!
10. Ngake ngamkhombisa uBaba igatsha elihle lokuqhakaza kwama-hawthorn futhi ngibonisa uBaba izimbali ezinhle ezimhlophe ngathi: "Muhle kanjani!". "Yebo, kusho uBaba, kepha izithelo zihle kakhulu kunezimbali." Futhi wangenza ngaqonda ukuthi imisebenzi mihle kakhulu kunezifiso ezingcwele.
11. Qala usuku ngomkhuleko.
12. Ungayeki ekufuneni iqiniso, ekuthengeni okuhle okuphakeme. Yiba ngqondayo emibonweni yomusa, uzuze ugqozi nokuhehayo kwalo. Musa ukushaqeka ngoKristu nemfundiso yakhe.
13. Lapho umphefumulo ububula futhi wesaba ukucasula uNkulunkulu, akumcasuli futhi kukude nokukona.
14. Ukulingwa kuwuphawu lokuthi umphefumulo wamukelwa kahle yiNkosi.
15. Ungalokothi uzilahle kuwe. Beka konke ukuthembela kuNkulunkulu yedwa.
16. Ngiya ngizwa isidingo esikhulu sokushiya nginokuqiniseka okwengeziwe ngesihe saphezulu nokubeka ithemba lami kuphela kuNkulunkulu.
17. Ubulungiswa bukaNkulunkulu bukhulu kodwa masingakhohlwa ukuthi isihe sakhe singenamkhawulo.
18. Masizame ukukhonza iNkosi ngayo yonke inhliziyo yethu nangayo yonke intando.
Kuyohlala kusinika okungaphezu kokusifanele.
19. Nikeza uNkulunkulu udumo hhayi abantu kuphela, hlonipha uMdali hhayi isidalwa.
Ngesikhathi ubukhona bakho, yazi ukuthi ungasekela kanjani ukudabuka ukuze ubambe iqhaza ezinhluphekweni zikaKristu.
20. Umuntu ojwayelekile kuphela owazi ukuthi usisebenzisa kanjani isosha lakhe futhi kanjani. Lindela phezulu; Ithuba lakho nalo lizofika.
21. Nqamula emhlabeni. Ngilaleleni: umuntu munye uhudula olwandle oluphakeme, omunye uminza engilazini yamanzi. Yimuphi umehluko phakathi kwalezi ezimbili; abafanga ngokulinganayo na?
22. Njalo cabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu ubona konke!
23. Empilweni yokomoya umuntu uyagijima futhi ophansi azizwe efikelwa ukukhathala; Ngokuphambene nalokho, ukuthula, ukwandulelwa injabulo yaphakade, kuzosiphatha futhi sizojabula futhi siqine kuze kuthi lapho siphila lolu cwaningo, sizokwenza uJesu aphile kithi, sizilolonge.
24. Uma sifuna ukuvuna akudingekile kangako ukuba sikuhlwanyele, ukuze sitshalalise imbewu ensimini enhle, futhi lapho le mbewu iba isitshalo, kubaluleke kakhulu kithi ukuthi siqiniseke ukuthi ukhula alusizi izithombo zethenda.
25. Lokhu kuphila akuhlali isikhathi eside. Enye ihlala phakade.
26. Umuntu kumele aqhubeke phambili futhi angalokothi abuyele emuva empilweni yokomoya; uma kungenjalo kwenzeka njengesikebhe, okuthi uma esikhundleni sokuthuthuka sime, umoya usibuyise.
27. Khumbula ukuthi umama okokuqala ufundisa ingane yakhe ukuthi ihambe ngokumeseka, kodwa-ke kufanele ihambe yodwa; ngakho-ke kufanele ubonisane nekhanda lakho.
28. Ndodakazi yami, thanda i-Ave Maria!
29. Umuntu ngeke afinyelele ekusindisweni ngaphandle kokuwela ulwandle olunamandla, oluhlala lusongela incithakalo. IKalvari intaba yabangcwele; kepha ukusuka lapho udlulela kwenye intaba, ebizwa ngokuthi iThabori.
30. Angifuni lutho olungaphezu kokufa noma ukuthanda uNkulunkulu: ukufa noma uthando; ngoba impilo ngaphandle kwaloluthando imbi kunokufa: kimi bekungaba yinto engazuzeki ukwedlula njengamanje.
31. Akumele ngidlule enyangeni yokuqala yonyaka ngingalethi emphefumulweni wakho, ndodakazi yami ethandekayo, ukubingelela kwami futhi ngihlala ngikuqinisekisa ngokuthandwa yinhliziyo yami, engingakaze ngiyeke fisa zonke izinhlobo zezibusiso kanye nenjabulo yokomoya. Kodwa, ndodakazi yami enhle, ngincoma kakhulu le nhliziyo engeyinhle kuwe: unakekele ukuyenza ibonge kuMsindisi wethu omnandi kakhulu usuku nosuku, futhi uqiniseke ukuthi lo nyaka uvunde kakhulu kunangonyaka owedlule ngemisebenzi emihle, ngoba njengoba iminyaka ihamba futhi iphakade lisondela, kufanele siphindaphinde isibindi sethu futhi siphakamise umoya wethu kuNkulunkulu, simkhonze ngenkuthalo enkulu kukho konke umsebenzi wethu wobuKristu nomsebenzi wethu osidingayo.
