ULourdes kanye nemiyalezo emihle kaMarian
Unenekazi wethu weLourdes, asikhulekele.
Sekudlule iminyaka embalwa kwavela izimanga ngo-1830 eParis, eRue du Bac, lapho iNcasakazi, eyandulela incazelo eqinile yeBandla, yaziveza ngokuthi “Yakhulelwa ngaphandle kwesono” imema thina, abantwana bayo, ukuba siphendukele kuyo ukuze sithole. umusa esiwudingayo, umusa wonke odlula ezandleni zakhe futhi njengemisebe yokukhanya ikhukhula emhlabeni futhi ibuyisele ukuthula nokholo ezinhliziyweni zethu.
Khona-ke, ngo-1846, eLa Salette, iNkosazana Enhle ikhuluma futhi ngokuguqulwa, ukuzisola, ukuguquka kwempilo, ikhumbula ukubaluleka kokungcwelisa amaholide nokulalela ngokwethembeka iZwi likaNkulunkulu... futhi yenza kanjalo ikhala, ngoba okungenani izinyembezi zithinta izinhliziyo zethu.
Ngo-1858 i-Immaculate yaphinde yakhetha enye indawo eFrance, kuze kube yilapho incane futhi ingaziwa, ukuveza ubukhona bayo futhi isilethele omunye umlayezo wokholo, ukuphenduka kanye nokuguqulwa. INkosikazi yethu iyaphikelela… sihlala siqinile ekulaleleni, sivivi ekusebenzeni… iphikelela futhi izophikelela futhi, ngisho naseFatima bese kuze kube yizinsuku zethu!
Lapho ekhetha uLourdes, kwakusanda kuvela ukukhanya okukhulu esibhakabhakeni seBandla: ngo-1854 uPapa uPius IX wayememezele ngokunesizotha imfundiso ye-Immaculate Conception: “Intombi ebusiswe kakhulu uMariya ngesikhathi sokuqala sokukhulelwa kwakhe, umusa nelungelo elilodwa likaNkulunkulu uSomandla, ngokulindela ukulunga kukaJesu Kristu uMsindisi wesintu, ligcinwe lingenasici kuwo wonke amabala esono sokuqala”.
Kodwa i-echo yomusa onjalo ngokuqinisekile yayingakafinyeleli, edolobhaneni elincane nelikude, abantu abaningi abalula, ingxenye enkulu bengakwazi ukufunda nokubhala, kodwa benokholo oluqinile nolumsulwa, ngokuvamile olubhebhezelwa ubumpofu nokuhlupheka.
Phakathi nekwindla ka-1855 uLourdes wayebhujiswe ubhadane lwekholera. Ngezinsuku ezithile abafileyo babebalelwa emashumini futhi babekwe emathuneni axutshwe nenqwaba. UBernadette naye wayesegule futhi ngaleso sikhathi okwakuwukuphela kwekhambi elalibhekwa njengokuhlikihla iqolo lakhe libe negazi! Ukuhlupheka okunye, hhayi nje! Uzolulama, Bernadette, kodwa uzohlala ebuthaka, enempilo ebuthaka futhi ehlushwa isifuba somoya esingasoze samshiya.
Lena indawo lapho iNcasakazi ilungiselela ukuhlangana nesithandwa sayo futhi imenze isithunywa sikaLourdes emhlabeni wonke.
– Injongo: Masidumise uMariya “omkhulu futhi onamandla onke ngomusa” othanda ubumpofu, ukuthobeka kanye nobulula benhliziyo. Ake simcele ukuba enze izinhliziyo zethu zibe njena.
- U-Saint Bernardetta, asithandazele.
