Mngane othandekayo, phakathi kwemikhuleko eminingi esiyisho nsuku zonke, ama-litollies esiwalalelayo nemicikilisho, ukufundwa okumbalwa kwethu abakwenzayo, mhlawumbe akekho oye wazibuza ukuthi ngubani uMadonna nokuthi ubuso bakhe bangempela bunjani? Mhlawumbe ungangiphendula ukuthi ubuso bukaMariya umama kaNkulunkulu buyaziwa, kwavela kaningana kwabanye ababukeli, kodwa empeleni lokho abasitshela kona, abakudlulisela kithi, akuhlangene nakancane nomuntu weqiniso weLady Lwethu.
Mngane othandekayo, esonweni sami esibuhlungu ngizama ukuchaza isithombe sikaMariya ngesambulo.
UMaria uzoba nomfutho ophakeme ngamamitha namashumi ayisikhombisa kuphela. Uyazi ukuthi kungani? Ukuphakama okulungile ukubheka emehlweni azo zonke izingane zakhe, zinde noma zimfishane. Akudingeki ukuthi aphakamise noma ahlise iso lakhe kepha ubheka ngqo zonke izingane emehlweni.
Unezinwele ezinde, ezimnyama, ezinhle kakhulu. Uyathanda, ucabanga ngomakhelwane wakhe, akabheki esibukweni, kepha muhle. Ubuhle bukhula othandweni onalo empilweni lokuthi yini ezungezile. Abaningi namuhla bayakhanga ngobuhle kepha abumuhle. Labo ababukeka madala bayaguga kodwa labo abahle baphuma nobuhle minyaka yonke yobudala.
UMaria ugqoke izembatho ezinde, ezinemibala egqamile, izingubo zikamama wasendlini. Akazidingi izingubo zokunethezeka, kepha umuntu wakhe akahehi indlela agqoka ngayo, umuntu wakhe uligugu, hhayi izindleko noma inani lalokho akugqokayo.
UMaria unobuso obucwebezelayo, isikhumba eseluliwe, izandla eziboshwe kancane, izinyawo eziphakathi nendawo kanye nomakhiwo omncane. Ubuhle bukaMaria bukhanya ngowesifazane oseneminyaka ephakathi kodwa onakekela ubuhle obuzungezile, anelisekile yilokho okudingekayo, uthanda, usebenzela umndeni, unikeza wonke umuntu izeluleko ezinhle.
UMaria uvuka ekuseni kakhulu, aphumule kakhulu kusihlwa kodwa akesabi usuku olude. Akanandaba nokubala amahora, enza lokho uNkulunkulu amtshela ukuba akwenze, yingakho uMaria ethule, elalela, enakekela.
UMariya ungowesifazane othandazayo, uMariya ufaka imiBhalo Engcwele, uMariya wenza imisebenzi yokupha futhi akazibuze ukuthi kungani futhi enzeni. Ukwenza ngokuqondile, ngokuzenzakalelayo, ngaphandle kwemibuzo nangaphandle kokubuza lutho.
Nangu umngani wami othandekayo, manje ngokwembula ngikutshele ubuso bangempela bukaMariya, umama kaNkulunkulu, ubuso bakhe basemhlabeni bangempela.
Kepha ngaphambi kokuqeda leli phepha ngifuna ukwenza ukucabanga okungaba ukufundisa kobuKristu nhlobo. Abaningi bethu bathandaza ku-Lady wethu kodwa bangaki kithi abacela ukumlingisa?
Ngabe sithanda ubuhle bemvelo noma izikhungo zobuhle kanye nodokotela abahlinzayo? Siyazama yini ukwenza intando kaNkulunkulu noma sithandaza ukuthola ukuthokoza kwethu? Ngabe siyabathanda omakhelwane bethu, senza izinhliziyo zomusa, sabelana ngesinkwa nabampofu noma sicabanga ngomcebo wethu, izingubo zomkhiqizo, izimoto zokunethezeka, amaholide, ukuzinakekela, ama-akhawunti agcwele manje, ukuthuthukiswa komnotho?
Sanibona mngani othandekayo, ngiphetha ngokutshela ukuthi ukwazi ukuthi unjani uMariya, kumnandi kakhulu uma sizama ukumlingisa kuye uqobo kunasemithandazweni eyinkulungwane esiyisho kuye.
UNkulunkulu usinike uMariya oyisibonelo esiphelele somKristu okufanele sisilingise futhi singasidaleleli thina bantu besilisa ukwenza izifanekiso ezinemibala ephezulu kakhulu bese sisondele ukusho uchungechunge lokuphindaphinda engingalwazi kulabo abangaziyo futhi bazame ukulingisa uMariya ukuthi yiliphi inani abangaba nalo .
Ngiphetha ngithi kuwe: nsuku zonke ngaphambi kokuphinda iRosary to Our Lady cabanga ngomuntu kaMariya. Gxila ekuziphatheni kwakhe bese uzama ukumlingisa. Kungale ndlela kuphela lapho umthandazo wakho uphela lapho uyokwaziswa ngokuphelele emehlweni kaNkulunkulu.
