Ukuzinikela Ezingelosini: San Raffaele, ingelosi yokuphilisa. Ungubani nokuthi ungamncenga kanjani
I-Raffaele isho umuthi kaNkulunkulu futhi imvamisa le ngelosi enkulu imelwa kanye noThobia, ngenkathi ihamba naye noma imkhulule engozini yezinhlanzi. Igama lakhe livela kuphela encwadini kaTobias, lapho ethulwa khona njengesibonelo sengilosi eqapha, ngoba uvikela uTobias kuzo zonke izingozi: kusuka enhlanzini eyayifuna ukumgwinya (6, 2) nakuDeveli owayengambulala nalawo amanye amasudi ayisikhombisa nguSara (8, 3). Uphulukisa ubumpofu bukayise (11, 11) futhi ngaleyo ndlela aveza ubuhlakani bakhe obukhethekile bokuba umuthi kaNkulunkulu nomlandeli walabo abagulayo. Uyixazulula indaba yemali ebolekwe kuGabaele (9, 5) futhi weluleka uTobias ukuthi ashade noSara.
Okomuntu, uThobia wayengeke amshade uSara, ngoba esaba ukufa njengabayeni bakhe bangaphambili (7, 11), kepha uRaffaele upholisa uSara ekwesabeni kwakhe futhi uqinisekisa uThobia ukuthi uzoshada, ngoba lowo mshado ufunwa uNkulunkulu kusuka lonke iphakade (6, 17). URaffaele uqobo unguye owethula imikhuleko kaThobia nomndeni wakhe phambi kukaNkulunkulu: Lapho uthandaza, ngethula imithandazo yakho phambi kweSanta; lapho wangcwaba abafileyo, nami ngakusiza; lapho ngaphandle kobuvila uvukile ungadli ukuhamba uyokungcwaba, nganginawe (12, 12-13).
URaffaele uthathwa njengosanta walabafana nezithandani ezisencane, ngoba waxazulula zonke izinto eziphathelene nomshado phakathi kukaTobia noSara futhi waxazulula zonke izinkinga ezazivimbela ukutholwa. Ngalesi sizathu, bonke abashadikazi abazibandakanyile kumele bazituse ku-St Raphael futhi, ngaye, ku-Our Lady ngubani, njengomama ophelele, onakekela injabulo yabo. Ngakho-ke wenza empeleni emshadweni waseKhana, lapho athola khona isimangaliso sokuqala kuJesu sokwenza ababesanda kushada bajabule.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, iSt Raphael iyikhansela lomndeni elihle. Mema umndeni kaTobias ukuthi udumise uNkulunkulu: Ungesabi; Ukuthula makube kuwe. Ubusise uNkulunkulu iminyaka yonke. Lapho nganginawe, angizange ngibe nawe ngokuzithandela kwami, kodwa ngentando kaNkulunkulu; njalo kumele umbusise, umhlabelelele amaculo. [...] Manje ibusise iNkosi esemhlabeni futhi ibonge uNkulunkulu. Ngibuyela kulowo ongithumileyo. Bhala phansi zonke lezi zinto ezenzeke kuwe (12, 17-20). Futhi weluleka uTobias noSarah ukuba bathandaze: Ngaphambi kokuba uhlangane naye, nobabili nisukume niyothandaza. Nxusa iNkosi yezulu ngomusa wayo nokusindiswa kwayo ukuba ize phezu kwakho. Ungesabi: Yenzelwe wena kusukela phakade. Uzoba nguwe ozowusindisa. Uzokulandela futhi ngicabanga ukuthi kuye kuzoba nezingane ezizokwenzela abafowenu. Ungakhathazeki (6, 18).
Futhi lapho bebodwa egumbini lokulala, uThobia wathi kuSara: Dadewethu, sukuma! Masithandaze sicele iNkosi ukuthi isiphe umusa nosindiso. [...]
Ubusisiwe, Nkulunkulu wokhokho bethu, libusisiwe igama lakho ezizukulwaneni zonke. Izulu nazo zonke izidalwa zikubusise kuyo yonke iminyaka! Udale u-Adamu futhi wadala u-Eva umkakhe, ukuba abe lusizo nokusekelwa. Kusukela kubo bobabili isintu sazalwa. Wena uthe: Akuyona into enhle ukuba umuntu ahlale yedwa; asimsize njengaye. Manje hhayi ngenxa yenkanuko ngithatha lesi sihlobo sami, kodwa ngesisekelo senhloso. Thatha isihawu kimi nakuye futhi usenze sifinyelele ukuguga ndawonye.
Basebehlangene bathi: “Amen, amen! (8, 4-8).
Kubalulekile ukuthandaza emndenini! Umndeni othandazayo ndawonye uhlala ubumbene. Ngaphezu kwalokho, iSt Raphael iyisikhulu esikhethekile samatilosi, sabo bonke abahamba ngamanzi nalabo abahlala futhi basebenze eduze kwamanzi, ngoba, njengoba ekhulula uTobias engcupheni yezinhlanzi emfuleni, angasikhulula nasezingozini zamanzi. Ngenxa yalokhu ungumvikeli okhethekile wedolobha laseVenice.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ungcwele wokuhamba kwabahambi nabahambi, abamnxusa ngaphambi kokuqala uhambo, ukuze abavikele njengoba noTobias evikela ohambweni lwakhe.
Futhi futhi ungcwele wecala labapristi abavuma futhi baphathe ukugcotshwa kwabagulayo, ngoba ukuvuma nokugcotshwa kwabagulayo kuyimisakramente yokwelashwa ngokomzimba nangokomoya. Kungaleso sizathu abapristi kufanele bacele usizo lwakhe ikakhulukazi lapho bevuma futhi bephatha izinyunyana ngokweqile. Ungumlandeli wezimpumputhe, ngoba angazipholisa kubumpumputhe njengoba enza kubaba kaTobias. Futhi ngendlela ekhetheke kakhulu ungcwele ongcwele walabo abaphatha noma abanakekela abagulayo, ngobuqili, odokotela, abahlengikazi nabanakekeli.
Umuthi akufanele ube yisenzo sokulapha ngaphandle kwesihawu noma uthando. Umuthi onamuntu, obona kuphela izindlela zesayensi nezobuchwepheshe, awunakusebenza ngokuphelele. Ngalesi sizathu kubalulekile ekusebenzeni kwezokwelapha nokunakekela abagulayo, ukuthi isiguli kanye nalabo abasisizayo, basemuseni kaNkulunkulu futhi banxuse iSt Raphael ngokholo, njengothunyelwe uNkulunkulu ukuzophilisa.
UNkulunkulu angenza izimangaliso noma angaphilisa ngodokotela nemithi ngokwejwayelekile. Kepha impilo ihlala iyisipho esivela kuNkulunkulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kubaluleke kakhulu futhi kusize ukuba nemithi ibusiswe egameni likaNkulunkulu ngaphambi kokuyisebenzisa. Kubalulekile ukuthi babusiswe ngumpristi; kepha-ke, uma singekho isikhathi noma amandla okusenza, thina noma ilunga lomndeni singasho lo mthandazo noma okufanayo:
O Nkulunkulu, odale umuntu ngokumangalisa futhi wamhlenga ngokumangazayo, yeka ukusiza bonke abagulayo ngosizo lwakho. Ngiyanicela ngokukhethekile ... Yizwa ukunxusa kwethu futhi ubusise le mishanguzo (kanye nalezi zinsimbi zezokwelapha) ukuze lowo ozisebenzayo noma ongaphansi kwezenzo zakhe, aphulukiswe ngomusa wakho. Siyakubuza, Baba, ngokunxusa kukaJesu Kristu, iNdodana yakho nangokuncenga kukaMariya, uMama wethu kanye no-St Raphael Ingilosi enkulu. Amen.
Isibusiso semithi sisebenza kakhulu lapho senziwa ngokukholwa kanti umuntu ogulayo usemuseni kaNkulunkulu.Baba uDario Betancourt ubika icala elilandelayo:
ETijuana, eMexico, uCarmelita de Valero kwadingeka ukuthi aphuze umuthi owamenza walala unomphela futhi umvimbele ekufezeni imisebenzi yakhe njengomakoti nomama. Umyeni wakhe, uJosé Valero, mina naye sathandazela imishanguzo. Ngosuku olulandelayo lona wesifazane wayengalali futhi ejabule, wasinakekela ngothando olukhulu nokusikhathalela.
Ubaba ofanayo uDario, ngesikhathi esohambweni oluya ePeru, wathi e-United States kwaba nenhlangano yabodokotela abangamaKristu ababehlangene ukuthandazela iziguli zabo futhi kwenzeka izinto ezingavamile. Elinye iqiniso elamangaza kakhulu ukuthi ngenkathi bethandazela ukwelashwa ngamakhemikhali abaphethe iziguli ezinomdlavuza, labo abawatholile ebusisiwe akazange alahlekelwe izinwele zabo. Ngale ndlela bakhombisa ngamandla amandla kaNkulunkulu ngomkhuleko.
