Umuzwa ongaqondakali weSt. Francis ne-Guardian Angel
USt. Francis, esemncane, washiya ukunethezeka kwempilo, wazihlwitha zonke izimpahla futhi wamukela indlela yokuhlupheka, ngenxa yothando lukaJesu kuphela. Ngemuva kwesibonelo sakhe, amanye amadoda ashiya impilo ejabulisayo futhi aba ngabangane bakhe ekuhlubukeni.
UJesu wamcebisa ngezipho zokomoya futhi wamnika umusa, ayengazange awenze komunye umuntu emakhulwini eminyaka adlule. Wayefuna ukuyenza ifane naye, ayinike amanxeba ayisihlanu. Leli qiniso lehla emlandweni ngegama elithi "Impression of stigmata".
ISt. Francis, eminyakeni emibili ngaphambi kokushona, wayeye eNtabeni i-Verna, eqala ukuzila ukudla okunzima, okwakufanele kuthathe izinsuku ezingamashumi amane. Ngakho-ke amaSanta ayefuna ukuhlonipha iSikhulu seMikhosi yaseMkhathini, uSt. Michael Ingilosi enkulu. Ngolunye usuku ekuseni, lapho ethandaza, wabona uSeraphim ehla evela ezulwini, owayenamaphiko ayisithupha aqhakazile futhi avutha umlilo. INgcwele ibheka iNgelosi eyehla ngendiza enemisebe futhi isondele kuye, yabona ukuthi ngaphandle kokuba iphiko futhi yabethelwa, okungukuthi, izingalo zayo zeluliwe nezandla zayo zagwazwa izinzipho, kanye nezinyawo zayo; amaphiko ahlelwa ngendlela eyinqaba: amabili akhonjwa ngaphezulu, amabili andiswa ngokungathi andiza kanti amabili azungeza umzimba, sengathi awuzimboza.
USt. Francis wacabanga amaSeraphim, ezwa injabulo enkulu ngokomoya, kepha wazibuza ukuthi kungani ingelosi, umoya omsulwa, ingathwala imihelo yokubethelwa. USeraphim wamenza waqonda ukuthi wayethunywe uNkulunkulu ukuzosayina ukuthi kwakufanele ngabe waba nokufela ukholo ngohlobo lukaJesu obebethelwe.
Ingelosi yanyamalala; USt. Francis wabona ukuthi amanxeba ayisihlanu abonakele emzimbeni wakhe: izandla nezinyawo zakhe kuhlatshwe kwachitheka negazi, kanti uhlangothi beluvulekile negazi elaphuma lagcwala ingubo nengubo. Ngenxa yokuthobeka abaNgcwele bebethanda ukufihla isipho esikhulu, kepha njengoba lokhu bekungenakwenzeka, wabuyela entandweni kaNkulunkulu.Izilonda zahlala zivulekile eminye iminyaka emibili, kuze kube sekufeni. Ngemuva kukaSt. Francis, abanye bathola i-stigmata. Phakathi kwabo kukhona uP. Pio wasePietrelcina, eCappuccino.
I-Stigmata iletha izinhlungu ezinkulu; nokho bayisipho esikhetheke kakhulu esivela ku-Divity. Ubuhlungu buyisipho esivela kuNkulunkulu, ngoba ngalo udonswa umhlaba, uphoqelelwa ukuba uphendukele eNkosini ngomkhuleko, unciphise izono, uheha wena kanye nabanye futhi uthola inzuzo IPharadesi. AbaNgcwele babazi ukuthi bangakuhlola kanjani ukuhlupheka. Ngibafisele inhlanhla!
