Umkhuleko wanamuhla: Ukuzinikela kwesishayo ehlombe elingcwele likaJesu Kristu
Lapho uMsindisi wethu eshaywa ngensika waphonswa phezu komzimba wakhe wonke ongcwele, ngaphambili nangemuva. Lezi zimpawu zesishayo samaRoma zingabonakala kwi-Holy Shroud. Isilonda esingabonakali ku-Shroud kodwa esavulwa yizicucu ezazinamathambo sasisehlombe.
Ngenkathi uJesu ehamba amakhilomitha amathathu ukusuka egcekeni likaPilatu eya eKalvari, isiphambano sangena ehlombe lakhe elidabukile, sidabula inyama emathanjeni. Lokhu sikwazi ngezambulo eziyimfihlo hhayi ezivela emaVangelini.
Oyingcwele wokuqala ukunikela isilonda ehlombe likaKristu kwakunguBernard waseClairvaux oshone ngo-1153. Uthole impendulo lapho ebuza uJesu ukuthi yisiphi isilonda sakhe esibuhlungu kunazo zonke:
U-Saint Bernard, u-Abbot waseChiaravalle, ubuze ngomkhuleko kwiNkosi yethu ukuthi ngabe yibuphi ubuhlungu obukhulu obabuzwe emzimbeni ngesikhathi sikaPastor. Waphendulwa: "Benginenxeba ehlombe, iminwe emithathu ijulile, namathambo amathathu atholakala ethwele isiphambano: leli nxeba linginike ubuhlungu obukhulu nobuhlungu ukwedlula bonke abanye futhi abaziwa ngabantu. Kepha uyiveza kristu okholekile, wazi ukuthi noma imuphi umusa abawucela kimi ngenxa yalesi sifo uzobanikezwa; futhi kubo bonke labo ngenxa yokuthanda bazongihlonipha ngamaPatter amathathu, ama-Ave amathathu no-Gloria abathathu ngosuku engizobaxolela ngalo izono zabo futhi angisayikukhumbula imiphefumulo yabantu futhi ngeke ngife ngokufa okungazelelwe futhi ngasesibayeni sabo sokufa bayohanjelwa yiNkosazana Ebusisiwe umusa nesihe ”.

Omunye ongcwele owayengagcini ngokuhlonipha isilonda sikaKrestu ehlombe kepha owahlupheka kanye nenhlamba yakhe kwakunguPadre Pio. Ngokusho kukaStefano Campanella, umbhali wencwadi ethi The Pope and the Friar, uPapa John Paul II wavakashela uPadre Pio ngesikhathi esengumfundisi futhi wabuza uPadre Pio lowo mbuzo wokuthi yisiphi isilonda sakhe esibuhlungu kakhulu. UBr. Wojtyla ubelindele ukuthi lo obhekele ukucwaswa kwabantu athi bekunguhlangothi lwakhe olugwazwe. Kodwa ongcwele uphendule wathi: "Yihlombe lami elilimele, okungekho owaziyo futhi elingakaze liphulukiswe noma liphulukiswe." UPadre Pio ushone ngoSepthemba 23, 1968.
Eminyakeni engamashumi amane kamuva, uFrank Rega wabhala incwadi ngeSan Padre Pio. Nazi ezinye izigaba ezifanele:
“Ngesinye isikhathi, uPadra (sic) wayekhulume noMfoweth 'uModestino Fucci, manje ongumgcini wesigodlo sasePadre Pio eSan Giovanni Rotondo, e-Italy, ukuthi izinhlungu zakhe ezinkulu zenzeka ngesikhathi eshintsha ihembe lakhe. UMfoweth 'uModestino, njengoBaba uWojtyla, wayecabanga ukuthi uPadre Pio wayekhuluma ngobuhlungu besilonda esifubeni. Kwathi ngoFebhuwari 4, 1971, uMfoweth 'uModestino wanikezwa umsebenzi wokwenza uhlu lwazo zonke izinto ezazisesitokisini sikababa oshonile esigodlweni kanye nemiphumela yakhe ezinqolobaneni. Ngalolo suku wathola ukuthi esinye sezingubo zangaphansi zikaPadre Pio sasigqoke isiyingi samachaphaza egazi endaweni yehlombe langakwesokudla.
“Ngabo lobo busuku, uMfoweth 'uModestino wacela uPadre Pio ngomthandazo ukuba amkhanyisele ngencazelo yalesi sambatho esinegazi. Wacela uBaba ukuba amnikeze isibonakaliso uma ethatha isilonda ehlombe likaKristu. Ngemuva kwalokho walala, wavuka ngehora lokuqala ekuseni enobuhlungu obusabekayo, obubuhlungu ehlombe lakhe, kwangathi usikwe ngommese ethanjeni lehlombe. Wezwa ukuthi uzofa ngobuhlungu uma kuqhubeka, kepha kwaphela isikhashana. Ngemuva kwalokho igumbi lagcwala iphunga lephunga lasezulwini lezimbali - uphawu lokuba khona kukaPadre Pio ngokomoya - wezwa izwi lithi "Yilokhu obekumele ngihlupheke!"
