Ama-Lourdes: I-Immaculate Concepts iyasihlanza ukuze senze uJesu aphile
Umqondo Wokungaqondakali Usihlanza ukusenza siphile uJesu
Lapho umphefumulo ufisa ukuhlangana nempilo entsha enguKristu, kumele iqale ngokusula zonke izithiyo ezivimbayo ekuthini izalwe kabusha. Lezi zingqinamba yisono, ukuthambekela okubi, amandla adilizwa yisono sokuqala. Kuzofanele abambe iqhaza empini yokulwa nakho konke okuphikisana uNkulunkulu nobunye naye. Lokhu kuhlanzwa okusebenzayo kuhloselwe ukususa konke okungaholela esonweni. Ukuze "wenze ngokuchasene" kuzodingeka ukuthambekele "hhayi kubelula, kepha kube nzima kakhulu, hhayi ukuphumula kepha ukukhathala, hhayi kakhulu, kodwa, hhayi konke kepha kungenzi lutho" (S. Giovanni della Croce) . Lokhu kufa ngokwakho, okhethwe ngokuzithandela, kancane kancane kwenza isenzo somuntu sinyamalale ngokuphelele, kuyilapho, kancane kancane, indlela yaphezulu yokwenza kukaKristu iqhubekela phambili futhi ithatha ukuvumelana okukhulu kakhulu. Ushintsho olusuka endleleni yokuqala yokwenza olunye lubizwa ngokuthi "ubusuku bokomoya", ukuhlanza okusebenzayo. Kuwo wonke lo msebenzi omude futhi odinayo uMaria unendima ekhethekile. Akenzi konke, ngoba ukuzibophezela komuntu kuyadingeka, kepha ngaphandle kosizo lomama, ngaphandle kwenkuthazo yakhe yothando, ngaphandle kokucindezela kwakhe okucabangayo, ngaphandle kokungenelela kwakhe okuqhubekayo nokucabangayo, akukho okungenziwa.
Ukusho njalo i-Our Lady kuSanta Veronica Giuliani mayelana nalokhu: "Ngifuna wena uhlukaniswe ngokuphelele nakho konke lokhu okwenziwa umzuzwana. Munye kuphela umcabango kuwe futhi lokhu kungokukaNkulunkulu yedwa. Kepha kukuwe ukuthi ukhumule konke. Mina neNdodana yami sizokunika umusa wokukwenza futhi uzozibophezela ekufinyeleleni leli phuzu ... Uma umhlaba wonke ubumelene nawe, ungesabi. Lindela ukwedelelwa, kepha hlala uqinile ezimpini ezilwa nesitha. Ngale ndlela uzonqoba yonke into ngokuzithoba futhi uzofinyelela ukuphakama kwawo wonke ubuhle ”.
Lokhu esikhulume ngakho kungukuhlanzwa okusebenzayo, njengomsebenzi we-ego. Kodwa-ke, ngomzuzwana othile umusa kufanele ungenelele ngqo: kungukuhlanzwa kwesikhashana, okubizwa kanjalo ngoba kwenzeka ngokungenela okuqondile kukaNkulunkulu. Umphefumlo uhlangabezana nobusuku bezinzwa nobusuku bomoya futhi uhlangabezana nokufelwa kothando. Ukugqolozela kukaMary kwehlela konke lokhu futhi ukungenelela kwakhe kukamama kunikeza ukuqabuleka emphefumulweni osendleleni yokugcwaliswa kokuhlanzwa.
Njengoba ekhona futhi ekhuthele ekwakhiweni kwengane yakhe ngayinye, uMariya akasusi umphefumulo ekuhlolweni okwenziwe ngezinto ezibonakalayo nezingokomoya, ezazingafunwa kepha zamukela, zamholela ebunyeni bokuguqula isimo neNkosi, yaya empilweni entsha.
Ngakho-ke iSt. Louis Maria yaseMontfort iyabhala: “Akumelwe sizikhohlise ukuthi lowo owathola uMary akasenazo iziphambano nokuhlupheka. Kuphinda kuguqulwe. Kubonakala kakhulu kunomunye umuntu ngoba uMariya, ngokuba ngunina wabaphilayo, unika zonke izingane zakhe izingcezu zomuthi wokuphila okuyisiphambano sikaJesu .Kodwa uma ngakolunye uhlangothi uMariya ebanikeza iziphambano, ngakolunye uhlangothi uthola kibo umusa ukubathwala ngokubekezela futhi ngisho nenjabulo ukuze iziphambano abanika zona ezingabakhe zingakhwele futhi zingathandeki iziphambano ”(Imfihlo 22).
Ukuzibophezela: Sicela i-Immaculate Concepts ukuthi isinikeze isifiso esikhulu sobungcwele futhi ngalokhu sinikeza usuku lwethu uthando olukhulu.
