UJeanne le Royer / uDade wokuzalwa

INTETHO YOKUQALA.

Charissimi, nolite omni spiritui credere, sed probate spiritus si ex Deo sint; quoniam ezininzi ze-pscudoprophetœ zikhoyo emundum. (Epist. Joan.,4,1.)

Ukuhlawuliswa, ngo-1790, kunye nolwalathiso loluntu olubizwa ngokuba zii-Religious Urbanists zaseFougères, kubhishophu waseRennes, ndazibona ndizinikele, ngeemeko endiya kuzichaza xa ixesha lilungile, ukuba ndiboleke kwiminqweno udade oqhelekileyo ogama linguDe la Nativity, owayefuna ukundinika ingxelo yezibane awayekholelwa ngazo ukuba uThixo wayembabala, waza ngazo.

wandiqinisekisa egameni lakhe ukuba ndandiza kuba ngumgcini wokugqibela, ukuze ndizidlulisele ngenye imini kubemi basekhaya nakuyo yonke iCawa ka-J.

Izityhilelo kunye nezibikezelo zale ntombazana elungileyo sele yenze ingxolo iminyaka emininzi; kodwa ngaloo maxesha olonwabo, intwana encinane yokuba oko wayekubhengeza kuya kuze kube yinyaniso, kwabangela ukuba bangahoywa baza badelwa. Bade baziswa emalangatyeni kwaye babingelelwa a

uhlobo lwecabal olwakhiwe ngokuchasene naye ngesi sihlandlo, njengoko siza kubona.

Kodwa ngalamzuzu xa ndingena kule ndlu ukuba ndiyikhokele, kwaye xa uDade wabhengeza kum “ukuba ndingumlawuli wokugqibela; ukuba ngexesha elifutshane

Bendiya kugxothwa kuyo ngamandla; ukuba ndinganyanzeleka ukuba ndifuduke ndisabele ezintlangeni; ukuba ndingawela iilwandle ngaphandle kwakhe

ukuba ndingahlelwa lishwangusha; ukuba ingqokelela andinike yona ngemathiriyeli ifundwe ize ihlolwe apho, ize ixoxwe ngabaphengululi; newaka lezinye izinto ezifanayo ezithe zaqinisekiswa kwaye zisaqinisekisiwe yonke imihla phambi kwamehlo am; ngalamzuzu ndithi xa lo Sister ebethetha nam ngoluhlobo, besesibuyele umva kude ngenxa yepregeration yakhe. THE

iziqalelo zovukelo-mbuso olwathi lwafezekiswa nje ngokoqobo, lwaqala, nangona kade kade, lwavula amehlo abo, lususa ucalucalulo olungathandekiyo ababefanele balwe nalo ekuqaleni.

Ndicinezelwe ngoko yimithandazo yalo nongendi ungcwele, owaphinda-phinda kum ukuba akukho xesha lokulahlekelwa; wamenywa, ngaphezu koko, bubungqina obunenzuzo awabunikwa ngabo bonke abanye oonongendi, yaye ngaphezu kwako konke ngabo

ukumelwa okulumkileyo kwabaphathi kunye nabagcini baloo nto

ekuhlaleni, ndakhumbula kuqala ukuba, ngokutsho kwababhali bembali bayo, iBandla likaYesu Krestu alizange lishukunyiswe nangayiphi na indlela.

Umothuko, nangona ubundlobongela, obungazange buxelwe kwangaphambili ngabantu abathile abangcwele abanobuhle obuxhaswa lubabalo, kunye nezibhengezo.

ziqinisekiswa sisiganeko, bezisoloko zisakha umahluko omangalisayo nehambo evakalala kunye nolwimi olukhohlisayo lwabaqhatha, abasoloko bekhohlisa indalo iphela: Quoniam multi pseudoprophetœ exierunt in mundum. Ndakhumbula, okwesibini, ukuba, kwelinye icala, uThixo uyakuvumela ukhula ukuba luxutywe nengqolowa, ize inyaniso ilwe ize yonakaliswe  .

ubuqhophololo, ngamanye amaxesha nakwiBandla lakhe kanye; kwelinye icala, usoloko ebonelela ubuthathaka bethu ngeendlela eziqinisekileyo zokwahlula omnye komnye, nokwahlula inyaniso kwimposiso kuyo yonke into: Probate spiritus siex Deo sint.

Ndaza ndathi entliziyweni yam, Ingalo kaThixo ayizange iphelelwe, namandla akhe angazange aphele, unanamhla unako konke awayenako ngaphambili; ukuba iimeko ziyafana, iBandla likaJ. Ngoku, asinakuphikiswa ukuba isipho sokuprofeta, esifana neso semimangaliso, njl. wanikwa ixesha elingasikelwanga mda; sisithembiso awasifumana emlonyeni walowo uthe

uqinisekisa ukuba unaye de kube sekupheleni kweenkulungwane. Ndazixelela ngaphezu koko ukuba iziprofeto zakudala zivakalisa ezokugqibela, umntu wayengenakuzikhaba ezi zinto engakhange azithuke ezo, kwaye engakhange awele phantsi  .

ukuphikisana okuchasene nemigaqo yokholo njengoko bekuya kuba njalo kwimigaqo yokuqiqa. Yonke into ixhomekeke kubungqina: ngoku, ekugqibeleni ndazixelela ukuba isibhengezo esineenkcukacha, sidityaniswe ekufezekisweni ngokoqobo kwesiganeko apho zonke iipolitiki zoluntu zazingenakuze zibone kwangaphambili iinkcukacha, ekubeni, ekugwetyweni kukaThixo ngokwakhe, uphawu oluqinisekileyo. Inyaniso yesi siprofeto (1), lo mlinganiswa mnye uvakaliswe kakuhle umele ukuba wayesele ebonakala njengesihloko esinyanzelela nawuphina umphefumlo  ofuna

uyayazi inyaniso ngobulungisa nangokunyaniseka kwentliziyo. Yile nto bendiyithetha kum, oku kulandelayo kuya kubonisa ukuba ndiqiqe kakubi.

(1) Propheta qui vaticinatui est pacem: quum venerit verbum ejus, sawtur propheta quem misit Dominus in veritate. ( Yer., 28, 9 )

Kule nto, ukuthatha indawo eyonwabileyo phakathi kwenkolelo yokungazi, evuma yonke into ngaphandle kobungqina, kunye nokungathembeki, ngakumbi ukungazi, okugatya yonke into ngaphandle kobungqina.

uviwo, ndanikezela kwizicelo eziphindaphindiweyo. Ngoko ndaphulaphula

kumabali awayewaxelelwa ngulo Dade; Ndazibhala phantsi phambi kwamehlo akhe, ndaza ndaza ndaza ndazibhala ngendlela endiza kuyicacisa, ngamaxesha  onke

kangangoko ndandinako, ngokomyalelo nangenxa yomyalelo awandinika wona. La mabali, ndimele ndiwavume, abonakala kum efanelwe yingqalelo kuyo  yonke into; Ndakholwa, ngaphezu koko, ukufumanisa kuzo zonke iimpawu zenyaniso, ndandide ndithi ngobungcwele, obubonakala kum bobume bokuyalela intlonipho, nokwaziyo ukutyhubela zonke iintlobo zovavanyo umntu analo  .

ukufuna kwimeko enjalo; ngelizwi, ndigweba yonke into ngokuthelekisa zonke iimeko, kwaye kungekhona ngeengongoma ezimbalwa ezizimeleyo, ndabona kuyo mhlawumbi umsebenzi kaThixo okanye intsokolo engaqondakaliyo.

Andiphelelanga apho; kodwa ndithe ndisaziswa ngokungathembeki okusesikweni kowam umgwebo, ndanikezela, ngokomyalelo owamkelweyo, uqokelelo lwam kubagwebi abanobuchule ngakumbi nabakhanyiselwe ngakumbi, abafunyanwa bebaninzi kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zokuthinjwa kwam, kwaye andinako kwaye akufuneki ndingenzi. ukufihla endikubonileyo ngokwaneliseka kokwenyani abefundisi abaninzi abafanelekileyo, oogqirha

(7-11)

iipectables, zabafundi bezakwalizwi abanzulu (1), ukuba bamanyane kuluvo lwam kumxholo womsebenzi abathe bonke bawugqala uluncedo kakhulu kwaye ufanelekile, bathi, ukuvelisa ezona ziqhamo zinqwenelekayo zenguquko, zenkqubela-phambili nosindiso. Yayinjalo ke imvakalelo yabo ngamxhelo-mnye, nangona ngaphezu koko uhlobo lwale mveliso ingaqhelekanga ayizange ibavumele ukuba bongeze kuyo isohlwayo segunya labo ngokuvumela amagama abo ukuba apapashwe ngokulandela iindumiso eziphindaphindiweyo abazenza ngelizwi nangokubhala; okanye mhlawumbi  awukwazi

kunokuba ndiqhwabele izandla le ngqiqo yobulumko eyoyika ukunqanda isigwebo seCawa kumcimbi apho iyodwa inelungelo lokunika-

(1) Umsebenzi uye wafundwa waza wavavanywa ngabefundisi bezakwalizwi abanzulu abangaphezu kwekhulu, abazezi: oobhishophu abasixhenxe okanye abasibhozo noobhishophu abakhulu, ama-20 okanye ama-30 abefundisi-jikelele beedioceses ezahlukeneyo, oogqirha noonjingalwazi bezakwalizwi, ii-abbots, ababhali beencwadi ezahlukeneyo ezihlonelwayo. , izifundiswa nkqu; ngaphezu kwama-80 abefundisi berhamente, abefundisi kunye nabanye abangcwele ngokulinganayo nabafunde abefundisi besiFrentshi nesiNgesi; singasathethi ke ngabantu abaninzi abafundileyo ehlabathini abaye bayifunda ngolwakha nolwaneliseko olufanayo.

ukuthetha; ukanti abanakho nokuphindwa kancinane, ubukhulu becala, ukuba umnwe kaThixo ubonakala kuwo kuwo onke amanqanaba, nokuba umsebenzi, njengokuba unjalo;

bekungafuneki nayiphi na enye imvume; ukuba wazirhola kuye iimbonakaliso zakhe, nawo onke amandla akhe; Digitus Dei est hic . Abaninzi baye bayicela baza benza iikopi zayo, abaninzi baye bathabatha izicatshulwa kuyo, yaye bonke baye babonakala benqwenela ukupapashwa kwayo. Ngoko ke, le ngqungquthela yeevoti, le ntlanganiso yeembono kwi-capital point, yandinika ithemba elithile lokuba imveliso enqwenelekayo kakhulu ngenye imini, ngokutsho kombhali, igalelo ekusindisweni kwemiphefumlo njengozuko. kaThixo othabatha zonke iindlela zokuwufumana. Wanga umsitho ungafikelela esikulindeleyo, kwaye ithemba lethu lingaphoxeka!…..

Ngaphandle kokungena, ke ngoko, kuyo nayiphi na i-dissertation ngeqondo lenkolelo enokuthi inikwe amabali ale ntombazana ingaqhelekanga, eh! bangavelisa ntoni na ngaphandle kokholo oluthile! Ndiyathemba ukuthemba ukuba uMoya oyiNgcwele, endikholelwa ukuba umbhali, uya kukhanyisela ngaphezu kwakhe nabani na, kuyo yonke into echaphazela le mveliso, imiphefumlo yentando elungileyo eya kufunda, kungekhona ngenxa yokufun' ukwazi, okanye ukufumana impazamo, kodwa eyona njongo yokufunda nokwenza ingeniso

ukwakha.

Ewe, ndiyayiphinda, kwaye ndinobuganga bokuthembisa ukuba, ukufunda nje, okwenziwa ngobulungisa benjongo eyiyo, kuya kwenza okungakumbi kubafundi abanjalo ngaphezu kwayo nantoni na enokuthi ithethwe kwabo bebengayi kuba nako olu fundo. Kuyinyani, kwaye yile nto mhlawumbi ndiya kungcikivwa ngayo, kuyo yonke indawo ebendinayo kulo mcimbi, ndathetha ngokwentengiselwano esondeleyo apho ubudlelwane obuthile apho abanye bebengazifumani kule nkalo. Ndine

kuzo zonke iindawo ayewabonisa amabali njengoko ezibonakalisa, oko kukuthi, phantsi nje kwempefumlelo, nangenxa yeentembeko zomphefumlo lowo izulu liwufundisayo liwukholise; kwakungenakwenzeka ukuba ndibaveze phantsi kolunye umba ngaphandle kokuwagqwetha ngokungathembeki

obekek’ ityala ngewayendenze ndibambele umsebenzi endandinoxanduva lokuwubhala, umsebenzi wasemzini ngokupheleleyo nobekungadibani nanto kuwo. Bekufuneke ndibaveze ngolu hlobo, okanye ndingabachukumisi: Non possumus quae vidimus non loqui. ( IZenzo 4, 20 )

Kunokwenzeka ukuba ndandiphosisile ngako konke oku; kuba ndisafuna ukuba lidelwe lonke elinye igunya; kodwa kule meko kanye andiboni, emva kwayo yonke loo nto, njani kwaye kutheni le mbono ikhoyo

ngokukodwa, kwaye ngaphandle kwayo andinakuze ndenze umsebenzi onjalo, inokunyanzelisa nayiphi na enye imbopheleleko yokucinga njengam, ukuba akayigwebi ngokufanelekileyo, kwaye ukuba akafumani zizathu ezaneleyo emva kokuba eyenzile.

funda: Charissimi, nolite omni spiritui credere, sedprobate spiritus si ex Deo sint .

Thabatha ngoko, ufunde; tolle, lege . kwanombono wam, kwanezibane ezingaka, endasekelwa kuzo; zibonele ukuba besingazikhohlisanga; mhlawumbi amehlo akho, onwabe ngakumbi okanye abona kakuhle ngakumbi, aya kufumanisa iimpazamo esingakhange siziqaphele, kwaye uya kube usenzela inkonzo yokwenene ngokusalathisa yona.

Phonononga izizathu, ulinganise izizathu, sebenzisa ngokufanelekileyo. Naphi na apho igunya lingakhange ligqibe, amadoda asenokuba neendlela zawo ezahlukeneyo zokujonga izinto; kuyinto eqhelekileyo ukuba ngamnye kubo

ukucenga ngenxa yezizathu anazo okanye akholelwa ukuba unazo. IBandla lingathethanga, nikhululekile, kwakhona, ekugwebeni kwenu; kodwa unokugweba kakuhle emva kokuba ufunde ngeendlela ezifanelekileyo.

Tolle, lege .

Hlola, ke, ibhanile kwimidlalo, ukuba bekungeke kwenzeke ukucinga ukuba umsebenzi onjalo uya kuba yimpembelelo yokucinga.

uphakamile, okanye usuka entliziyweni engcwele yongaqondiyo, kunempembelelo yembonakalo yobuThixo. Khangela ukuba bekungenakubalelwa ngumoya wedemon kusini na kunoko kaThixo; Iprobate, njl. Ngokukodwa kumgomo ocetywayo apho uya kugweba ngokuvakalayo. Probate .

( 12-16 )

Siza kukubonelela ngeenkcukacha ezahlukeneyo ekufuneka zibe ngumxholo wesigwebo sakho; kuphela, ngaphambi kokuyinxiba, sicebisa ukuba

Ukunyanzelisa ukuba ulinde de uyibone yonke into, kwaye ungazimiseli kwiinkcukacha ezithile ezisecaleni. Ngaphezu kwako konke, kubangel’ umdla ukukwazisa, ubuncinane ngokurhabaxayo, umntu ongummangaliso ekukholelwa ukuba uThixo wayedla ngokuthetha nawe; Ke ngoko, siqala ngokumtyhila kuni ngokuphuma kwakhe ubomi bangaphandle, njengokuba wabonakala emehlweni abantu kwasebuncinaneni bakhe;

ukugcina elinye ixesha iinkcukacha zobomi bakhe bangaphakathi, okanye ukuziphatha kukaThixo kwiintshukumo zomphefumlo wakhe: enye iya kusebenza njengelungiselelo, kwaye enye ilandele izityhilelo zakhe  ; lucwangco lwendalo esilucebisayo  .

Uqhanqalazo lokuqala lomhleli.

Eyethu. UBawo uPope Urban VIII, ewalela, ngemimiselo yakhe kaMatshi 13, 1625 noJulayi 5, 1634, ukuba ashicilele, ngaphandle koviwo kunye nemvume kabhishophu wediocese, nayiphi na incwadi equlethe izenzo, imimangaliso kunye nezityhilelo abantu abafayo. ivumba lobungcwele, okanye abajongwa njengabafeli-nkolo; ephinde walawula ngokubhekele phaya ngommiselo wakhe kaJuni 5, 1631, wokuba, kwimeko yokuba aba bantu bethiywe igama lengcwele okanye basikelelwe,

Kuya kufuneka ukuba ibhengeze ukuba esi sihloko sisetyenziselwa ukuchaza kuphela

ubumsulwa bobomi babo nokugqwesa kweempawu zabo ezintle, ngaphandle kokucalula igunya leCawa yamaKatolika, ekukuphela kwayo enelungelo lokuvakalisa iingcwele nokubacebisa ukuba bahlonelwe ngabathembekileyo; Ngenxa yale mimiselo ndizinikele kuyo ngokunyanisekileyo nangokungenachaphaza, apha ndiyakhalazela ukuba ndibagqala njengabangcwele, abasikelelekileyo, okanye abafeli-nkolo bokwenyani kuphela abo iNcwadana eNgcwele yobuPostile ibanika ezi zihloko, kwaye ndiyabhengeza ukuba zonke izibakala ezixeliweyo kule ngxelo. incwadi ibenye kuphela

igunya labucala, nokuba abanakufumana ubunyani bokwenene

kuphela emva kokuba ndivunyiwe sisigwebo sikaPonti onguMongami, endinikezela kuye uluvo lwam olukhethekileyo kuko konke okuqulethwe ngulo msebenzi, endiwunikezela eluntwini.

Uqhanqalazo lwesibini:

Ndicela umfundi aqaphele ukuba kule ncwadi ndibalise iimpawu ezininzi ezingqina ubungcwele balo mntu ndenzileyo imbali yakhe. Ndibalise apho izinto ezidlula indalo, kwaye ngubani anokuthi azithathe njengemimangaliso yokwenyani. Injongo yam ayikokunika ezi zibakala njengoko zivunyiwe yiCawa eNgcwele yamaRoma, kodwa kuphela njengoko zingqinwe ngobungqina babucala.

Ke ngoko, ngenxa yemimiselo kaBawo wethu Oyingcwele uPope Urban VIII, ndiyakhalazela ukuba andizimiselanga kubalela umntu endithe ndawenza imbali yakhe, nokuba ngumgangatho osikelelekileyo,  okanye owengcwele, kodwa wendlela  .

ndiphantsi kwegunya leCawa yamaRoma, endiqonda ukuba kuyo kuphela inelungelo lokuvakalisa abo bangcwele. Ngentlonelo ndilindele umgwebo wakhe kuzo zonke iingongoma ezikule ncwadi, yaye ndizithoba kuyo intliziyo nengqondo, njengomntwana othobela kakhulu.

UBOMI NEZItyhilelo

YOMDADE WOKUZALWA  .

Isishwankathelo soBomi bukaDade woZalo, kunye neemeko eziphathelele kwiZityhilelo zakhe.

Ukuzalwa kwakhe.

UJeanne Le Royer, obizwa kwiNkolo Dade Wokuzalwa KukaKristu, intombi kaRené le Royer noMarie le Sénéchal, wazalwa, ngokutsho kwesicatshulwa sobhaptizo lwakhe, ngoJanuwari 24, 1731, kwidolophana yaseBeaulot, icawa yaseLa Chapelle- IJanson, ekufutshane neLorient, amaqela amabini emibutho evela kwidolophu yaseFougères, ubhishophu waseRennes, eBrittany. Waye, kusuku emva kokuzalwa kwakhe, wabhaptizwa ecaweni ngumfundisi wecawa.

Uya kusazisa yena ngeemeko zobuntwana bakhe kunye nobomi bakhe bonke, ngokubhekiselele kubo naluphi na unxulumano ngaphakathi kwakhe; kodwa kulandela ukumatsha kwabo bonke abaNgcwele, iya kuzibonakalisa kuphela kwelona cala lisisiphene; uya kuthetha ngesiqu sakhe kuphela ukuze azithobe eluntwini aze azivume ngokugqithisileyo iziphoso zakhe, ubugwenxa bakhe nezono zakhe: ukuba unyanzelwa ukuba azazise ubabalo alufumeneyo kuNdikhoyo  .

ezulwini, iya kuba kukungcangcazela kuphela kwingxelo eya kufuneka ayibuyisele, ukusenza siqaphele ukuba lungakanani ubabalo esele lwenziwe ukoyisa

aphilise ububi bentliziyo yakhe; ekugqibeleni, ibuyela rhoqo enzulwini yokungabi nto kwayo, iya kubuyisela yonke into kuye yedwa lowo uzuko lufanele kuye.

Olu luluvo aya kusinika lona ngaye ekupheleni kwengqokelela yakhe; kodwa phambi kokuva ubungqina bakhe, naphambi kokungena kuzo naziphi na iinkcukacha kumabali akhe, kubonakala kum kubalulekile ukwazisa ubuncinane into yobomi bakhe bangaphandle, kubungqina babantu.

(17-21)

owayehlala naye; kuphuma emlonyeni wabo ngaphezu kwayo yonke into endifuna ukuyithetha, kwaye ndiyathemba ukuba uluntu luya kuba nombulelo kum ngobuqhetseba obuncinci ukuba le ntombazana ethobekileyo ifumene kunzima ukundixolela ngexesha lokuphila kwayo, ukuba UThixo ngewayemvumele ukuba azi ngayo.

Imfundo yakhe kunye nobabalo lokuqala elithandwa lizulu.

Ezalwa ngabazali abangamaKristu, njengoko kulula ukucinga, uJeanne Le Royer, ngokungathi kunjalo, wamunca ubisi olunokholo oluphilileyo nolusebenzayo, loo nzondelelo ngomthetho ongcwele, olo thando lunenceba nolunya, olo loyiko nothando lukaThixo. INkosi esoloko isenza uphawu olwahlukileyo lwabantwana bakaThixo bokwenene, nobungqina obungathandabuzekiyo bokumiselwa kwabo kwangaphambili. Yayikuko konke awayenokukufumana kubazali bakhe abangathathi ntweni. Kodwa hayi indlela izipho ezivela ezulwini ezityebile ngayo ngokulandelelana, kwaye indlela abo basabelana ngayo banokwenza ngokulula ngaphandle kwayo yonke enye into!...

Esi simo sengqondo sokuqala sobabalo lwangaphambili kwafuneka sibandezeleke kakhulu, okwexeshana, kuhlaselo lweenkanuko nakukosulela komzekelo ombi; kodwa ubabalo lwalusoloko lumbuyisela kwinjongo apho uThixo wayemfuna khona. Waziva kwasebuntwaneni umtsalane onamandla wokuzinikela kuThixo ngexesha lomhlalaphantsi kangangokuba, ukuze aphendule kubizo lwakhe, woyisa yonke imiqobo yomtyholi, ihlabathi, inyama, nazo zonke iingozi zemeko yakhe.

Kubonakala ngathi, kwibali ekufuneka asixelele lona, ​​ukuba inkoliseko yesithunywa sakhe esilungileyo, kwaye ngaphezu kwayo yonke intembelo yakhe enkulu kuMama kaThixo, yaba luncedo kuye kwiindibano ezininzi; kukwabonakala nokuba kuzo zonke izinqulo ezathi zagxininiswa okokuqala emphefumlweni wakhe, ukuba kweyona Sakramente iSikelelweyo yesibingelelo ibisoloko iyeyona ithambileyo nedlamkileyo, nokuba uthando lwakhe ngomntu othandekayo kaJ. , entliziyweni yalo, ngokomlinganiselo, ukuba ubani unokulithetha, ngokobabalo ebesoloko elifumana kulo. Unoyolo umphefumlo okwaziyo ukugcina kunye noThixo wawo oku bumnandi

Imbalelwano yobubele obulinganayo, olo lwalamano lumnandi lothando elenza izulu emhlabeni! yile nto sayibona kwiiCatherines kunye ne

Bernardine waseSiena, iMadeleines yasePaœi, iThérèses, iGertrudes, iAngèles yaseFoligny, iPhilippes yaseNéry, iFrançois d'Assise, iFrançois

Xavier, uFrancis de Sales, kunye namawaka amaninzi abanye abangcwele, ngokomlinganiselo weqondo lobungcwele babo, nangokweendlela ezahlukeneyo ekwakholekileyo kuzo uThixo ukubenza bahambe.

Iimpawu zobizo lwakhe.

Umncinci, oqinileyo, unobuso obumnandi kunye nomfanekiso onenzuzo, ngaphezu koko, unentliziyo elungileyo, enomphefumlo ngokwemvelo njengonovelwano njengoko uthe tye, enobuntu obuthambileyo kunye nobudlelwane, uLe Royer oselula unokuzenza ngathi, njengomnye. , kulowo unengenelo ngokwemeko yakhe; kweza inani elithile, angenazohlwaya ngalo; kodwa akuzange kube lula ukuza kulo naluphi na uthethathethwano olulungileyo; kwakusoloko kukho  umqobo ongalindelekanga owawuphazamisa yonke imilinganiselo. Iqabane lobuthixo elalimcelile layalela ngenye indlela; wambiza, ngezilingo nangeendlela ezingaqhelekanga,  kuye

ukugqibelela kobume obuphezulu. Izulu lalimmisele okukhulu

nezinto eziwunyamekelayo umzi, nokuze amenze umfuziselo wonqulo, oko kukuthi, uMboneleli owamgadileyo kwasekuzalweni kwakhe;

wamkhokelela kwiingozi zeli hlabathi lonakeleyo, ngokungathi ubanjwe ngesandla kwiingozi zeli hlabathi lonakeleyo, wamhlangula kwiinqanawa eziliwaka ezaphukelwa yinqanawa, yaye ehlala eqhekeza yonke into eyayichasene namaqhinga akhe.

Ukusweleka kwabazali bakhe.

Kwiminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu okanye elishumi elinesithandathu umhlali wethu obekekileyo waphulukana noyise awayemthanda ngokuthambileyo, owathi ukusweleka kwakhe kwamkhathaza kakhulu; ephoxekile ukususela ngoko ngamampunge ehlabathi,  iingozi awayekhe wadibana nazo kwezinye iimeko, engxamele ukusabela kwizibane zangaphakathi uThixo amtsalele ngazo kuye ngendlela engaqhelekanga, wazingcikiva ngenxa yokuguquguquka. ; walunikela elubabalweni, waza waluqhawula lonke uhendo lwehlabathi, wazingcwalisa ngokupheleleyo kuThixo ngesibhambathiso sobunyulu obungapheliyo awasenzayo phambi kobuso naphantsi koKumkanikazi weeNtombikazi.

Uyilo lwakhe kunye neeprojekthi ezigqibeleleyo.

Ucebisa kuphela ukuba ahlale nomama wakhe, amondle ngomsebenzi wakhe aze amncedise de kuphele iintsuku zakhe. Kodwa esi siphelo sasisondele kunokuba wayecinga, kuba kungekudala umngcwabo walo mfazi

UmKristu weza ukuze ahlaziye intlungu eyayibangelwa yindoda yakhe

intliziyo yentombi yabo. Emva kwesi sizathu sitsha sokulishiya ihlabathi okanye sokuhambela kude kulo, ekubeni wayengasenaso nasiphi na isixhobo apho, okanye phantse naliphi na iqhina elalinokumgcina apho, uJeanne wayengathanda ukufumana indawo yonqulo kwindlu ethile. umkhonzi, ukubeka ngaphezulu kuyo

ukhuseleko nosindiso lwakhe nesibhambathiso sakhe sokuzibamba; kodwa engaziwa ngumntu wonke, ehluthwe, ngenxa yoko, kulo lonke uncomelo kunye nazo zonke iindlela zomntu, akazange abe nabuganga bakwenza oko kuzenzisa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.

Ukuthembela kwakhe ngobubele kunye nokuzinikela okunyanisekileyo kuMama kaThixo.

Waneliseka kukuthetha noThixo ngako oko emthandazweni, waza wabeka yonke into esandleni salowo ufumene isipho sakhe.

(22-26)

ihlelo: waqubuda phambi komfanekiso wakhe, njengoko eza kusixelela, wathandaza kwiNtombi  Enyulu ukuba imfumanele kunyana wakhe ubabalo kunye neendlela  zokuba.

ethembekile rhoqo ekuzinikeleni awayemnike kona ngako  konke

umntu, athe wamenza umgcini wakhe. Umthandazo, ngoko nangoko, ulula kwaye unyanisekile, wawungenakuhlala ungenamsebenzi. Lowo yayibhekiswa kuye akazange angcatshe ukuthenjwa awayebekwe kuye. Nali elinye inqaku: ukusuka kuloo mzuzu iNtombi Enyulu eNgcono yabonakala ngathi izimisele ukuthetha-thethana ngale nto, okanye kunokuba ikhokele ukuphunyezwa kwayo; kungekudala kwabakho isizathu sokuqonda ukuba lo mcimbi wawusezandleni ezilungileyo kakhulu ukuba ungathweswa isithsaba sempumelelo, kungekudala okanye kamva.

Ubulumko ekukhetheni umlawuli, nakwicebo lakhe lobomi.

Ngaphambi kokuba enze isigqibo sokuhlala yedwa, uJeanne le Royer wayefuna ukurhoxa ngokomoya okwabhengezwa eFaubourg Roger kwidolophu yaseFougères. Injongo yakhe yokuya apho yayikukukhangela iindlela

ukungcwaliswa, aze apho abuze kuThixo ngecala awayefanele alithabathe ukuze azi aze alandele ukuthanda kwakhe. UM. Débrégel ngelo xesha wayengumalathisi wale ndlu yokuphumla ngokomoya; wayengumvangeli wokwenyaniso, wayezazise kakhulu ngolwazi lwakhe ngehambo yemiphefumlo eyayinelungelo njengenzondelelo yokuguqula ngokufuthi ngokuqaqambileyo abona ngaboni banzulu.

lukhuni; nguHananiya lowo umiselwe yena lizulu; nakuye ke wajika efuna ukuqonda ukuba makenze ntoni na. Wamtyhilela umzantsi we

isazela sakhe sambonisa oko kwakusenzeka apho, saza samnika ingxelo yeendlela zakhe ezingaqhelekanga ezazisele zibakhwankqise abanye kakhulu, nezathi, phezu kwayo nje inkathalo yakhe, zenzekile ngokwaneleyo ukothusa ukuthobeka kwakhe. Emva kokumxilonga izihlandlo ezininzi, le ndoda kaThixo yamkele iindlela zayo kunye neeprojekthi zayo, kuphela yamkhulula kwinxalenye yezigqibo zayo eziye zaya kufikelela kwizinto ezinokuthi zonakalise impilo yomzimba wakhe.

Ungena kwi-nuns yase-Urbanist njengomkhonzi ovela ngaphandle.

Indawo yokuphosa ilitye ukusuka kwindlu yokubuyela umva yayiluluntu lwamaClarist, athotywa nguPope Urban V, kwaye wabiza ngenxa yesi sizathu iConvent of.

Abacwangcisi bedolophu yaseFougères, apho bazinza khona ngowe-1655. Lo mthetho wawusoloko uthotyelwa ngokungqongqo, oonongendi babebaninzi ngoko babezimisele. M. Débrégel wayekholelwa ukuba wayefanele acebise ukuzohlwaya kwakhe le miphefumlo ilungileyo, eminye yayo awayiyalela ukuba yamkelwe emakhayeni ayo ikwisikhundla

umkhonzi wabahlali. Yayingunyaka wokuqala bevunyelwa  ukuba babe nazo, oko kukuthi ngowe-1752. (1). Akuba efumene imvume yabo, wayinika ngokwakhe, esithi kubo: “Masimbonge uThixo, manenekazi, usalinika ihlabathi imiphefumlo engaqhelekanga athanda ukuyikhokela ngomoya wakhe wobuthixo. Ulandelelwano luya kubonisa ukuba umlawuli onobuchule wenze impazamo.

(1) Le mvume yarhoxiswa phantsi kukaMnu. Lemarié, malunga neminyaka engamashumi amabini okanye engamashumi amathathu kamva.

Idlula kumbindi weConvent.

Emva kokusebenza iiveki ezintandathu ngaphandle, wangeniswa

ngaphakathi kwayo, ukunceda oodade abaqhelekileyo. UJeanne wabona kwangaphambili umphumo wemithandazo yakhe; into ebingekho kulonwabo lwakhe kukubonana

edityaniswe ngokungenakuguqulwa zizibhambathiso ezindilisekileyo kwabo wayebakhonza: wayesoloko eyilangazelela le nzuzo ixabisekileyo. Eli xesha lethamsanqa kuye

ayizange ifike de kube ngaphezu kweminyaka emithathu kamva: wayichitha le minyaka mithathu eyilungiselela nge-postulancy, ukuthatha umkhwa kunye ne-novitiate. Ebudeni beli xesha, idemon yamvelisela imiqobo emininzi; kodwa ngoncedo nangobabalo lukaThixo, waboyisa bonke kwaye akazange adideke ngokupheleleyo.

Izilingo nemiqobo echasene namaqhinga akhe.

Imiqobo kwicala lobuhlwempu. Wacelwa ikhazi lamakhulu amathathu eeponti, kwaye wayeneeponti ezintandathu kuphela zizonke, engenathemba lokuba uya kuze aphinde afumane ezingaphezulu, lonke ilifa lakhe lalinganeli ukuhlawula iindleko zomthetho emva kokusweleka kwabazali bakhe. Imiqobo kwicala lomona, kungekudala

ukuba angakuthabathi ukuhlonela kwakhe okuqinileyo nokuthantamisayo, kunye nembeko kunye nobuhlobo awayekwazi ukubuxolelanisa, ukuze aqalise ukumsukela. Imiqobo ecaleni kweminqweno yakhe, awathi umtyholi wayivusa ngakumbi kunanini na xa wayelungiselela ukuyinikela kuThixo wakhe. Imiqobo ingakumbi  evela

icala loloyiko olugqithisileyo oluphefumlelwe ngumoya wobumnyama kuye; yahlala  imoyika; wada wamdimaza: wamxelela ukuba akanakuze amenze usindiso kulo msebenzi ungcungcuthekisayo; ukuba  akekho

akabizwa. Wahlala embonisa isihogo ekupheleni komsebenzi owawuza kuba ngaphandle kwentuthuzelo kwaye ngaphandle kwesiqhamo kuye. Uya kusixelela kamva  ukuba uThixo wamvumela kangakanani na usathana ukuba abe namava  akhe

ngokungaguquguqukiyo, kwaye ngayiphi na indlela, ngenkathalo, wayesoloko engxamele  ukuyixhasa nokuyikhusela; kodwa oku kuchaphazela  ubomi bakhe bangaphakathi.

Ukuthembela kwakhe kuThixo nakuMkhuseli wakhe.

Ngokuchasene neentshaba ezininzi, uDade Jeanne ke ngoko wabeka lonke ithemba lakhe kuThixo, kuYesu Kristu nakuMariya; naphantsi kokukhuselwa nguNyana kunye nokhuseleko olunamandla lukaMama, wayenethemba ngokuchasene nalo lonke ithemba….. Wathembisa iNtombi Enyulu ukuba enze idini elikhulu kwaye alumeke ikhandlela phambi komfanekiso wakhe,

(27-31)

ukuba uthe wazuza ukuba amkelwe elunqulweni; nokuba igama awayeya kulithabatha apho liya kuba lelomnye wemithendeleko eyasekwa liBandla ngembeko yakhe. A

ithemba elingagungqiyo alinakuze lilahlekiswe. U-J.-C. ngokwakhe wathabatha ukuphelisa izoyikiso zakhe ezingapheliyo, ngokumqinisekisa ngobizo lwakhe, nokumqinisekisa kwakhona ngomntu amvumayo.

Uloyisa ngoncedo lwezulu, aze athabathe igama lenkolo elimkhumbuza ngoxanduva analo kumkhuseli wakhe.

Kwakukho izahluko ezininzi kuye apho izimvo zahlulwa ixesha elide. Ekugqibeleni, nangona izifundo zazisa amakhazi amakhulu; naphezu kohlobo lwekhal eyenziwe nxamnye naye, woyisa;

mhlawumbi ngoncedo lukanina kaThixo, umkhuseli wakhe. Ngoko ke wamkelwa, ngaphandle kwekhazi, ukuba avakalise izibhambathiso zakhe zonqulo; wathatha igama likaSister of the Nativity, eliya kuba lelo siza kumnika lona ukususela ngoku ukuya phambili,

kuba yile ahlala eyinxibile. Ukusukela ngoko, aba nongendi balungileyo babesele bemazi ngokwaneleyo ukuba bamnike ithuba lokukhetha ngaphezu kwezinye izifundo ezazizibonisa; babenesizathu, ekuhambeni kwexesha, sokuvuyisana nabo, ngakumbi nangakumbi, ngokhetho lwabo kunye nokufumana ababekwenzile; kodwa abakalazi kakuhle ixabiso elipheleleyo lobutyebi

ababenazo, kwaye uThixo mhlawumbi akayi kukuvumela de kube semva kweminyaka emininzi. Ngubani owayenokubaxelela ngoko ukuba le ntombazana ilihlwempu, ababeyilungele ngokwaneleyo, ngendlela yesisa, ukuba inike indawo yokugqibela phakathi kwabakhonzi babo, yayiya kuthi kamsinya ibe yaye yayisele ithandwa kakhulu nguThixo; Intoni

ngenye imini iya kuba luzuko, isihombo, kwaye mhlawumbi nobutyebi nenkxaso yocwangco lwabo; ekugqibeleni, isiprofeto sonqulo kwinkulungwane yakhe nakwiinkulungwane ezalandelayo?

Ngoko ke lo nongendi mtsha wayesele ekwincopho yezibhambathiso zakhe, yaye uvuyo lwakhe lwalufana nqwa xa weva ngazo zonke iimvavanyo ekwakufuneka adlule kuzo kwimeko yakhe entsha. Wenza zonke iinzame zokubonisa umbulelo wakhe kuThixo nakubancedi bakhe: kuThixo, ngokuzinikela kwakhe

ngokupheleleyo kwaye ngokugqibeleleyo; kunye nabancedi bayo, ngazo zonke iinkonzo abanokuzilindela kuyo. Izandla zakhe ezilukhuni kunye nomzimba wakhe wonke oqhelene nomsebenzi onzima wasemaphandleni, wayedlala, ngokungathi kunjalo, ngeyona mithwalo inzima; kwaye uThixo uyazi ukuba yeyiphi inzondelelo nelungiselelo angxamise ngalo

ukukhulula iingalo zoodadewabo kuko konke okwakubuhlungu ekuthobeleni kwabo nakwimisebenzi yabo eyahlukahlukeneyo.

Iimpawu zakhe ezinkulu kwicala lomoya, kunye nenkqubela phambili yakhe kwisidima.

Kodwa ngaphezu kwako konke ukusuka kwicala lokomoya kufuneka sicinge ngalo Dade uselula, ukuze sikuxabise ngokufanelekileyo ukufaneleka kwakhe kwaye sibone konke oko akuxabisayo kuye. Ukuthobeka okunzulu, intobelo emfamekileyo, umonde ongoyiswayo, ukulahla yonke into, ukufuna uThixo kuphela, yayiziziseko eziqinileyo zesi sakhiwo semfezeko, apho wenza, ngexesha elifutshane, abaninzi  .

inkqubela enkulu. Eli licebo lobomi awathi, ngempefumlelo yobuthixo, walibhala ngekonsathi kunye nomlawuli wakhe osisilumko, icebiso lakhe awayesoloko elifumana kwaye elilandela.

Isicwangciso sakhe sobomi kunye nenzondelelo yakhe njengonongendi.

Akuba ezimele yedwa, ukuze abingelele khona kuThixo oyinyaniso izilwanyana ezahlukahlukeneyo ezinqulwa ngamaYiputa, ndithetha inkanuko, nobutshinga, elithe ihlabathi kuko enamakhoboka, kwanabakhonzi bezithixo, wazibhokoxa; njengabo bonke abaNgcwele, ekudambiseni nasekutshabalaliseni ikratshi lakhe

ngokuthobeka, nazo zonke iintlobo zeenkanuko ngokuswela ngokuzithandela iziyolo ezivunyelweyo. Umnqweno wokwanelisa okusesikweni kobuthixo wamenza wasebenzisa ngokufihlakeleyo izixhobo zokuzohlwaya awayezinikele kuzo umzimba wakhe uphela.

Ukuxhatshazwa kwakhe ngokomzimba nangokomoya.

Iinwele kunye necilice, iziyalo, ukuzila kunye nokulinda, yonke into yaphunyezwa. Maxa wambi ibhedi yakhe yayizala ngamarhawu nemifuno ehlabayo. Wabanjwa ngenye imini egcine emlonyeni wakhe, kwaye eginya ithontsi ngethontsi, inyongo yezilwanyana kunye nobunye utywala obukrakra ngokulinganayo. Ngoko ke, zivamvo ngalunye lwalunento yalo.

Ukuhambela kwakhe imfezeko.

Yaba luloyiso oluthe gqolo kwindalo eyathi le ntombi ingcwele yahambela phambili ngomgudu omkhulu kumsebenzi wemfezeko, ethe kuwo yabashiya ngasemva abo boonongendi abenze eyona nkqubela isengqiqweni. Ubukrelekrele obunjalo babumangalisa; kwaye kananjalo wabangela uvakalelo olukhulu kakhulu: ukulunga kwesi similo kwafuneka ukuba kushukunyiswe, okanye kunokomelezwe, zizilingo ezinobundlobongela;  kwaye quia acceptas eras Deo, necesse fuit ut temptatio  probaret te , yathi ingelosi kuTobias:

thintela oko mhlawumbi ebesele ekuceba. Makhe singene kwiinkcukacha ezithile ngesihlandlo sezona ntshutshiso ziphambili awayejamelene nazo, neentlungu asazivayo nanamhlanje. Ubabalo olungaqhelekanga awayebabalwe ngalo kwihlabathi ngokwalo, nathe, njengoko sesitshilo, ukususela ngoko, lwenzeka ngokwaneleyo ukuba lumothuse ukuthozama kwakhe, lwabonakala lusanda kwimo yakhe entsha, ngokokulunga kwakhe, kwaye uThixo wabonakala ngathi. enomona wokuyibuyekezela yona yedwa ngako konke ekwakufuneka ikunyamezele kwicala ledemon nezinye iintshaba zayo, de kube ngoko, uthi, wabonakala kuye uJ.

umntu, saza sathetha naye izihlandlo ezininzi, njengoko siza kubona kuyo yonke ingqokelela yakhe.

Ngoko ke uThixo wavumela ukuba, phezu kwayo nje inkxalabo yokuthozama kwakhe, inkoliseko yakhe ibonakale.

(32-38)

eqhelekileyo yabonakala ifikelela kwinqanaba elithile. Kwakhona, isibane esinjalo sasingenziwa ukuba sihlale phantsi kwesitya; kwakungelula ukuba umntu angafikelwa sisifingo esibhengeza imini enkulu ngakumbi. Ekuqaleni wancoma kwaye wakhawuleza wamangala, njengoko kusenzeka rhoqo, ngakumbi emehlweni ekulula ukukhubekisa.

Ubungqina obuvela kukhokelo lwakhe.

Abakhokeli abahlukeneyo awazazisa kubo bachukunyiswa koko wayebaxelela kona ngaphakathi, baza bavuma ukuba kwakungengenxa yakhe yedwa ukuba uThixo wayenxibelelane nezibane ezingaka kuye. Ndingathanda, watsho omnye wabo, ukuba uDade De la Nativity avunyelwe ukuba anyukele kwisihlalo sikaSaint Leonard, ngakumbi ngeentsuku apho iCawe ibhiyozela umthendeleko omkhulu.

iimfihlelo zonqulo. Akukho mntu ukwimeko yokuthetha ngayo njengaye. Ngaphandle kokufunda i-theology, unazo zonke iincwadana ngokugqibeleleyo. Ngaphezu kwako konke, ndingathanda ukuba aboni bethu babe nako ukumva ethetha, njengaye, ngoThixo, ngenceba yakhe engapheliyo, njengokoyikeka kwakhe.

izigwebo. Hayi, andithandabuzi ukuba wenza eyona mifanekiso ilungileyo kubo. Kodwa ngaphezu kwako konke, onjani wona umphefumlo wakhe! olunjani lona ubabalo! okunjani kona ukuthobeka! esinjani sona isidima esiqinileyo! onjani unongendi ogqibeleleyo!

Ibinjalo ke isigwebo sikaMM. Abalawuli beLarticle, iDuclos kunye ne-Audouin; ULemoine, uBeurier-de-la-Porte, abavangeli basemazweni: kangangokuba, ngokuvuma kwakhe, kwaba ngathi ubanjiwe phakathi kwabo, uM. Audouin, owayengumalathisi wasekuhlaleni, nodade awayethembele ngaye kakhulu. , wayeza kuzibhala phantsi izinto ezinkulu uThixo awayemenzele  zona

yazi ngekamva leCawe yehlabathi jikelele kunye nelaseFransi ngokukodwa. Incinci awayemxelele yona yayanele ukubaqinisekisa

ukuba akazithetheli; ngenxa yoko, uM. Audouin wabhala imibhalo emide kakhulu malunga nento awathetha ngayo uDade kuye ngako konke oku: kodwa njengoko imibhalo yakhe ingazange ivele, kwaye leyo, ngaphezu koko, andizange ndiyazi.

M. Audouin, andilazi kwaphela icebo awayelenzile;

Umntu azityand’ igila kuye unoxanduva lokubhala phantsi oko akuvakalisayo okuvela kuThixo.

Ndiyaqikelela kuphela, ngeemeko kunye noko uDade andenze ndakuva, ukuba wayemnike iinkcukacha ezininzi malunga ne-revolution yethu, kwaye ingancinci malunga neziphumo.

Yayiyintoni impumelelo.

Likamva lenyaniso kunye nezinto ezingaqhelekanga ezimele zichaswe, ezifana nezo zokulunga eziza kuvavanywa. Imiqobo kunye nezinto eziphikisanayo zisisiseko somsebenzi kaThixo. Kukangaphi engazange

Ngaba uvumele ubungendawo, ukungabi nangqiqo okanye ulunya lwabantu, ukubambezeleka, kwada kwathintela ukuphunyezwa kwamacebo akhe amakhulu? Apha, ndicinga ukuba, ngowona mzekelo ubalaseleyo. Mhlawumbi ixesha lalingekafiki, okanye isihogo siphumelele ukucaphukisa iprojekthi awayenayo yonke into.

ukoyika; okanye, njengoko uDade esitsho, ukuba izulu, ngobulungisa balo, lalohlwaya amadoda anetyala, ngokohlwaya ikratshi lalowo wayezimisele ukumsebenzisa ukubalumkisa nokubalondoloza kumashwa amaninzi; nokuba zonke ezi

ibangela ngaxeshanye, kanti ke ezinye esingaziboniyo; into eqinisekileyo kukuba iprojekthi ayiphumelelanga, kwaye yonke into ayiphumelelanga. Nali ixesha kwaye yenzeka njani.

UM. Audouin wayengenanto yakwenza ngokukhawuleza kunokunxibelelana nemibhalo yakhe kwibhunga lakhe eliqhelekileyo. KwakunguM. Larticle, umlawuli wee-nuns zase-Ursuline kweso sixeko, ongazange avume yonke into, phantse: masingamangalisi. Udade wavakalisa amashwa amakhulu kangaka eFransi, iintlekele ezimbi ngolo hlobo kwiCawa kunye noRhulumente, iziganeko ezingenakwenzeka  ngelo xesha, ukuba akufanele kwenziwe ulwaphulo-mthetho kuye ukuba angakholelwa, kule meko, kwisiprofeto apho. Inzala yethu  ayinakukwazi

kholwa yinzaliseko. Yiyiphi imbonakalo eyayikho, kwiminyaka esibhozo okanye esithoba kuphela ngaphambi kwexesha esiphila kulo, esathi saba ngamangqina oko kwenzeka ngokwenene namhlanje phambi kwamehlo ethu?

(1) Saint Francis de Sales.

Iingcinga ezibubuxoki nezigwebo koko wakuthethayo; kunye nokuphikisana kwabo banamava kulo mbandela.

Ezaliswe, ngokungathandabuzekiyo, ngecebiso lobulumko likabhishophu ongcwele waseGeneva (1), owathi kwiileta zakhe: “ukuba imibono nezityhilelo zamantombazana azifanele kuthathwa njengento engaqhelekanga, kuba ukukhululeka nokuthantamisa

Iingcamango zamantombazana zibenza bachaphazeleke ngakumbi kule mibono kunamadoda. " M. Larticle akazange anikele ngqalelo eyaneleyo yokuba uDade wayenokugqalwa njengongekhoyo kulo mgaqo, nokuba isilumkiso sobulumko sikabhishophu ongcwele sasimthandela ngokupheleleyo, ekubeni izityhilelo zakhe zazinazo zonke iimpawu azicelayo nezifunayo. isilumkiso kwiimeko ezinjalo.

Ayinamsebenzi: emva kokuba eqale wancoma uSister, ugqiba kwelokuba ambeke phakathi kwenani labantu abaqhathwe yingcinga yabo. Wamphatha njengomfana oselula owathi, ngenxa yokungabi namava, wanikezela kubuqhetseba. Wade wacinga ukuba ubhaqe uqhekeko kwisibhengezo sokuba uDade wenza ukothuka okubi kakhulu kwiCawa yaseFrance, awayibonayo, wathi, iintsika ziyashukuma, zigxadazela kwaye ziwe ngobuninzi. Wathi kuye ngenye imini, Yima ngokuqinileyo ; kwaye oko ndikuthethayo ndikuthetha kubo bonke abantu abakummandla wakho. Zama ukuxhasa iCawe ngokuchasene nohlaselo lwala mandla mabi ndiwabona ehambela phambili; ndicela uxhase iCawe; Ndiyangcangcazela ngenxa yakhe; njl

Ukunyanzelisa ukuthula kuye, okanye mhlawumbi ukumvavanya kwizisongelo

engazange aqonde nto, wagqiba ekubeni amoyikise ngokoyika impazamo. “Luther,” wamxelela ngequbuliso, “nabanye abaprofeti bolu hlobo, nabo baye bavakalisa ukuwa kweCawa, ngokuchasene namava nanxamnye nelizwi likaJ. . Usisi wam,

wongezelela wathi, mhlawumbi ufana nabo ngempazamo, okanye uyageza; Mna ke ndiyavuma kuwe andiyazi ukuba uthetha ukuthini. Into awayiphindayo kuye kwezinye iimeko. Kodwa nangona ingcamango nje yoqhekeko yayimalele yaza yamoyisa uDade olihlwempu, oko akuzange kumthintele ekubeni aphinde athi kuye: “Ngamana uThixo angamazisa ukuba iCawa yaseFransi, kunye noRhulumente, babeza kufumana amava okholo. ubundlobongela kunye nentshutshiso engazange ibonwe ngaphambili kobu bukumkani buhle. »

Amava abonise kakuhle kakhulu kumhla wethu ukuba inkohliso yayikweliphi icala. M. Larticle ngokucacileyo wayekho ngenxa yokoyika ukuwela kuyo. Ebexakiwe kancinci kuSister, wabhideka, mhlawumbi engakhathali

ukubona, ukothuka okanye ukuphazamiseka kweCawa yaseFransi awayethetha ngayo, ngokuwa kweCawa yendalo yonke, eyabhengezwa ngumlilo waseJamani kunye nabo bonke abaprofeti bobuxoki bento ebizwa ngokuba yi-reform.

Nangona kunjalo, onjani umahluko omkhulu ukusuka komnye ukuya kwenye! Wayesasebenzisa ubuxoki kwindinyana yeVangeli apho uJ.-C. asixelela ukuba amasango esihogo akanakuze aloyise iCawa yakhe; kodwa apho angatshoyo ukuba iBandla lakhe aliyi kushukunyiswa okanye ligungqiswe: nto leyo eya kungqubana neVangeli ngokwayo namava awo onke amaphakade, akukho nto ichazwe ngokusesikweni okanye ngokufuthi ngakumbi ivakaliswa kuyo ngumbhali wayo ongokobuthixo, ukuba

iintshutshiso kwafuneka ajamelane nazo

(39-43)

amava kwaye iya kuba namava ngalo lonke ixesha layo. Liyinyaniso elokuba, ngaphandle kwenjongo embi, abona bafundi ngezakwalizwi banobuchule maxa wambi banokuphazama kwanakwezona ngongoma zicacileyo, ukuba nje abalulumkelanga ucalucalulo, oluthi kungekudala lungabi sakuvumela ukuba izinto zibonakale ekukhanyeni kwazo kokwenyaniso. maxa wambi kusenza singayiboni kwaneyona migaqo icacileyo. Mingaphi imizekelo ebengenakuyikhankanya, nebiya kungqina ukuba kumbandela onjalo ijaji ifanele yoyike inkohliso yengqondo yayo kungekhona ngaphantsi kwaleyo inqwenela ukulwa nayo ezingqondweni zabanye! kungenjalo unokuwela lula emgibeni azama ukubenza  bawuphephe.

Uzivumela ukuba acengeke, kwaye iintloni zakhe zikhokelela ekubeni

ukugxeka ngenxa yokoyika ukulahlekiswa. — Utshisa izityhilelo zakhe zokuqala.

Noko ke, uloyiko lowexuko, awathi lo dade wayeneentloni ngalo, lwaba negalelo elikhulu ekumenzeni agqibe kwelokuba ayishiye yonke into. Wada wagqiba kwelokuba alwe de acinge ngomsebenzi wakhe, njengomgibe wedemon elaliwayo izulu. (Kwakukule nto kanye apho inkohliso yakhe yayiquka, okanye kunoko apho wayenyanzeliswe ukuba anikele.) Wade wenza isivumo ngokubanzi malunga noko, walilela ishishini lakhe njengolwaphulo-mthetho. Esazi ukuba uM. Audouin wayefumene intlungu kuyo, nokuba ngesihlandlo sakhe kuye kwavela ingxabano encinane phakathi kwakhe nomntu awayemthembile, wenza okuninzi naye kangangokuba wamnyanzela, ngandlela thile, ukuba atshise.

iincwadi zokubhalela ezaziqulathe yonke into awayemxelele yona nezabangela ukuba abhale egameni likaThixo.

Wenjenjalo, yaye wangcikivwa kakhulu ngenxa yoko, kokubini sisazela sakhe, nanguM. Larticle ngokwakhe owathi, emva kokuba emtyhole ngokukholelwa kwinkolelo, wamngcikiva apha ngenxa yokuba wenze okuthile.

ngokungxama okukhulu. ‘Ubuncinane,’ wamxelela, ‘kwakuyimfuneko ukulondoloza yonke into ephathelele umbandela weCawa, bendiya kukuvuyela kakhulu ukuwuhlolisisa ngengqalelo engakumbi. Kwakusele kusemva kwexesha, amadangatye atshise yonke into. Kambe ke uThixo uyazi, xa athe wathanda, ukuyivelisa yonke into ebhuqiweyo; akukho nto imthintelayo amayelenqe akhe; yile nto siwubonileyo umsebenzi womshumayeli omkhulu ephuma eluthuthwini, nokuba ukumkani ongahloneli Thixo uncitshiswe.

Ukuthotywa kunye neentsizi ezibuyela kuye.

Ezinjani zona iintsizi! Enjani yona intlonipho le ntombazana ingcwele eyayifanele iziqwenge ngelo xesha, okwathi kungekudala kwafika ukufa kukaM. Audouin ukuze kubeke isithsaba! Usizi kunye nokuthotywa kwicala labanye ooSista, kwanakwabanye abathi, phezu kwazo nje izilumkiso zakhe, bazifumanisa iintetho zakhe nongasekhoyo uM. Audouin, nabawoyisa ngokufihlakeleyo phezu kwamahlazo akhe. Abo, ngakumbi, ababenokulunga okuncinci ngokwaneleyo ukuba bathathe

engazange amjonge njengenye into ngaphandle komhanahanisi, ekwakufanelekile ukuba amthobe ukuze anyange ukuzicingela kwakhe nekratshi lakhe.

Ngenxa yoko, bazimisela ukumhlazisa ngandlela zonke nangaliphi na ithuba. Waba yeyona nto imangalisayo; wayebizwa ngokuba nguMbono, kwaye siyazi kakuhle ukuba intsingiselo yesithuko ihlonyelwa kweli gama. Eyona nto yamenza intlekisa emehlweni abo kukumva kwakhe, kwindawo apho abantu beze kumphulaphula, esithi kuM. Audouin, ukuba ubone uKumkani, uKumkanikazi kunye noSapho. URoyale walalanisa, kwaye mhlawumbi egutyungelwe ngamashwa awawabhengezayo eFransi, kwaye wona ngokwawo angamaxhoba ale revolution; leyo, ngokungathandabuzekiyo, kwakubonakala ukuphakama kwe-delirium kunye

Ukugqithisa.

Iintlungu kunye nokuthotywa kwicala labalawuli bayo (1), kubani, ukususela

UMnu. Audouin, wayengakwazi kwaye akazange abe nesibindi sokuvula isazela sakhe, ngaphandle

ezibhentsisa ekugutyungelweni zizingcikivo, kwaye ekungekho nto anokuyithetha ngaphandle kweenkxwaleko zobuntu ezithathe ithuba lokumthoba ngakumbi.

Usizi nokuthotywa, ekugqibeleni, kwicala likaThixo ngokwakhe, owathi, maxa wambi, wabonakala ezirhoxisa zonke iintuthuzelo neenceba zakhe kuye ukuze ayishiye kuye nakuloyiso lweentshaba zayo. Ngalo maxesha

(1) Ayikokokuqala ukuba, ukuze avavanye abangcwele bakhe, uThixo uye wavumela abalathisi babo ukuba, kangangexesha elithile, benze impazamo ekucingeni ukuba baye bathabatha iindlela ezingaqhelekanga awayebakhokela ngazo. eSaint Therese

yedwa obuya kunikela ubungqina. Kulapha ngaphezu kwayo yonke into esinokuyithetha kunye noSaint Gregory ukuba bubugcisa bobugcisa: Ars artium regimen animorum . Ivela kuMfundisi....

zobunzima, wayengasaziva nto ngaphandle kokwenyanya, ububhanxa kunye nokoma okunganyamezelekiyo. Izulu, elajika laba lubhedu, labonakala ngathi lidibene nomhlaba kunye nesihogo, ukuze lithuthumbise kwaye limbandezele.

Kuyinyaniso, ngandlel’ ithile, ukuba isidima sizimele geqe, yaye sizifumana kuso, okanye kunoko, sikuye ongaze asivumele ukuba sihendwe ngaphaya kwamandla aso, into esinokuzibuyekeza ngayo. Kwakhona, ngaphandle

engazishiyi ukuba lusizi okanye, kuncinci, ukukhalaza, uDade wayechasa yonke into enokuthiwa okanye yenziwe ngokuchasene naye, nantoni na ngaphandle kobumnene, umonde, eyona nto igqibeleleyo yokurhoxa kwintando yeSibhakabhaka; nokungaguquguquki kwakhe kwada kwanyanzela ooDade bakhe ukuba babuyisele kuye imbeko nobuhlobo obumfaneleyo kakhulu, nowathi, ixesha elide, wanda ngakumbi nangakumbi.

Iintlungu kunye neentlungu zomzimba wakhe.

Oku kwakunganelanga ukwenza umnqamlezo owufaneleyo

isibindi. Kwezi ntlungu kunye nokuthotywa komoya kwakufuneka kongezelelwe iintlungu kunye nokuthotywa komzimba, ukwenza

(44-48)

ukuba enze idini elipheleleyo, eligqibeleleyo, nexhoba elimfaneleyo uThixo, nemifanekiso yakhe phezu kwalo: ngokwesicelo sakhe iZulu lamnika zonke iintlobo. Kunokuthiwa ngaye, njengakuYobhi, ukuba uThixo wamvumela umtyholi ukuba ambethe

umzimba emva kokuzama ukushukumisa umphefumlo wakhe. Kodwa lowo unike amandla angaka ngokuchasene naye esihogweni, uhlala enamandla

exhaswe ziintlaselo zakhe, ukuze abe nokuqhayisa ngako ukuqina komkhonzi wakhe, engcikiva ukuswela amandla kotshaba lwakhe. Hayi ke Sathana angathi kuye, ukhe wayiqwalasela na le ntombi ingowam kwaye yonke imizamo yakho ayikwazanga ukuwisa? Numquid considerasti servum kuzila? ( Yobhi, 2, 3 ) Ngaba ukhe wambona lo mkhonzi mncinane ukwathiyayo izithembiso zakho nezisongelo zakho, kwakunye nokuphathwa kakubi kwakho? Numquid considerati? Ingaba ucinga ntoni? Ngaba ukulunga kwakhe okuqhelekileyo, kwaye akukho ngaphezu kwayo yonke imizamo yakho? Ewe, Sathana, ndithi kuwe, ukoyiswa kwakho kuqinisekisiwe, o

ububi buyabhangiswa, kwaye nantoni na oyenzayo ngokuchasene nayo iya kuhlala ikhokelela kwihlazo kunye nokudideka kwakho.

Ukuqhubeka kweembandezelo zakhe. - Umkhuhlane oqhubekayo.

Ngoko ke, uDade wokuzalwa kukaYesu ekuqaleni wahlaselwa ngumkhuhlane ocothayo owathi, kangangeminyaka emithathu okanye emine, wawathomalalisa amandla akhe ukusa kwinqanaba lokoyikisela ubomi bakhe: lo mkhuhlane uqhubekayo wamnika iintloko ezinganyamezelekiyo nezinenkani kakhulu: isifuba sakhe sachaphazeleka kakhulu. ukuba iphathwa njenge-pulmonic. Ngexesha elithile kamva, kwidolo lakhe lasekhohlo, a ithumba elisenyameni nelikhulu, ekuye kwafuneka ukuba linqunyulwe ngesona senzo sibuhlungu kakhulu. Ugqirha wotyando (uM. Chauvin), owayesenza olo tyando, wabonakala echukumisekile kulo, waza wabelana, ngokungathi kunjalo, ngobuthathaka boonongendi ababemncedisa; isigulana kuphela esabonakala singenaluvelwano: amehlo akhe ethe ntsho emnqamlezweni wakhe, wabakhuthaza, wababongoza ukuba barhoxe kwaye babe nomonde ngemizekelo uYesu awasinika yona emnqamlezweni: umntu wayenokuthi yonke into awayeyiva ubunzima yayisenzeka ngomhlaba. umzimba womnye. Asiyi kumangaliswa kakhulu xa esicacisela le mfihlelo, ngokusifundisa indlela uThixo, ngesi sihlandlo, anqwenela ngayo ukuphelisa ukuba nengqiqo kwemvelo, njengoko maxa wambi ebesenza ngenxa yabafeli-nkolo bokholo  .

Umonde wakhe kwizigulo zakhe, kunye nokurhoxa kwakhe kuqhaqho olubuhlungu kakhulu.

Indawo eyayithathwe kuyo inyama eninzi ephilayo, yaba yingozi enkulu, eyathi, endaweni yokuvala, yajika yaba yidiphozithi yomhlaza womhlaza, apho ukukhubazeka kwaziphosela khona kwaye kwakhubaza ilungu, ngokombono kagqirha. M. Revault) kunye nogqirha wotyando owambonayo, akufanele asebenzise; kwaye, eneneni, ngamanye amaxesha wayenyanzelekile ukuba asebenzise iintonga ezimbini ukuze ahambe, kwaye kwakungekho mbonakalo, ndingatsho mhlawumbi ukuba akukho nokwenzeka kwemvelo, ukuba angenza ngenye indlela.

Ukuphiliswa okumangalisayo nokungalindelekanga kwenxeba lakhe kugqalwa njengokunganyangekiyo.

Emva kweeveki ezimbalwa zokunxibisa, uDade, ezele lukuzithemba, wabhenela kuThixo nakumkhuseli ogama lakhe lalisele lifumene amandla amaninzi. Wacenga umlawuli (ndikholelwa ukuba oku kusenzeka phantsi kwe-M. Audouin) ukuba athethe ngobubele kuye ngembeko ye-Passion ka-N.-SJ-C. kunye neentlungu zeNtombi Enyulu esikelelekileyo ezinyaweni ze

cross: uphinde wacela uluntu ukuba lumenzele i-novena ngenjongo efanayo. Ngelixesha lale novena, uDade waziva ephucukile eyambuyisela umva ukusebenzisa umlenze wakhe, kangangokuba wakwazi ukwenza ngaphandle kweentonga, awayeziphethe iintsuku ezimbalwa ukuze abantu bangachukunyiswa yiloo nto. Kodwa yintoni eyakhwankqiswa ngoonongendi xa babona uDade Wokuzalwa kukaYesu ethwele umthi womthi ekhitshini owawuya kuba ngumthwalo wendoda eyomeleleyo, nangona kunjalo, awayewubeke yedwa egxalabeni lakhe? Ekuphela kwento awayeyishiyile, wandixelela, yayikungonwabi kwi-hock yakhe, phantse ngokungathi yayixinene kakhulu ne-garter, ukuphazamiseka okuye kwaphela xa umlawuli esizalisekisile isithembiso sakhe.

Nguye yedwa ongenabuganga bokuqinisekisa ummangaliso.

Esi siganeko sabangela isiphithiphithi esixekweni. M. Revault wabhengeza ukuba ubani akafanele abe nombulelo kuye ngonyango awayengakholelwa ukuba lunokwenzeka ngokwemvelo; ugqirha wotyando, ebona isigulane nesiva saso, wadanduluka: Nanku ummangaliso! Lonke ibandla lakholwa kuye, lamphinda njengaye; udade ke, kubo bonke, wayengoyena mncinane ukhaliphileyo ekukuqinisekiseni oko; wade wandichazela ukuba akakayi kuyenza loo nto okwangoku, kodwa nangona kunjalo wayengathandabuzi ukuba bekukho uncedo oluthile apho oluvela ku-J. – C. nakuMama wakhe ongcwele, nangona kunjalo, akafuni ukumkhulula ekubandezelekeni ngezinye iindlela ezininzi.

Ngokuqinisekileyo esi asiyolizwi lalowo utshisekayo, usengaphantsi komhanahanisi owayengenakukwazi ukulisebenzisa eli thuba ukuze enze amaqhina nokutsala umdla wabo, ngokubaxa ngayo yonke into awayenokuyenza ukuze enze ummangaliso kolu nyango lumangalisayo. Kukho isidima sokwenyani sisoloko sifuna ukuzifihla; uhlala esoyika malunga nento enokumenza abonakale, ufihla ubabalo olungaqhelekanga; kunye nokuziphatha kukaDade kule meko, njengakwabanye abaninzi, kubonisa ngokwaneleyo ukuba akazange

ethetha ngomqondiso wenceba awayigalela ngezulu, ukuba ebengayazi loo nto

yayikukuthanda kukaThixo, kwaye ngengazange akholelwe ukuba uzuko lwakhe lwalunomdla kakhulu kwesi sityhilelo.

(49-53)

Ubulwelwe bakhe obuqhelekileyo. — Ububele besigqibo sakhe sokunikela ngobomi bakhe kuThixo ngexesha elinzima.

Akuzange kudlule unyaka, okanye omncinane kakhulu, apho engazange aphathwe sisifo esibi awayesicele kuThixo: eyona nto yayinzima kakhulu yamzisa emasangweni okufa yamenza buthathaka kangangokuba kwahlala kukho ukungcangcazela kuye. eviwa ngakumbi entloko. Ukuthwesa ihlazo lakhe (ukuba, nangona kunjalo, umntu unokubiza ihlazo leembandezelo awayezicele njengenceba evela ezulwini), umzamo wambangela i-hernia, eyathi, iminyaka emininzi, ingumnqamlezo wakhe unzima,

aqinisekisiweyo ukuba kufuneka afe. Noko ke, ayisiyiyo into emkhathazayo, kodwa luloyiko lokunyanzelwa ukuba afune uncedo lobugcisa. I-Sorbonne kwaboniswana nayo malunga noku; kwaye kwisigqibo awasinikelayo, ukuba umntu wayenganyanzelekanga ukuba asebenzise ezi ndlela, wasenza

ngesisa nangaphandle kokulibazisa idini lobomi bakhe: ngoko ke wazincama wafumana uncedo olulodwa loBonelelo; yaye phezu kwako nje konke oko oogqirha babethetha ngako, wathembela kuThixo kuphela. Ngoko le ntombazana

onesisa wenyuka ngaphezu kwayo yonke inkangeleko ngoloyiko kunye nenkangeleko nje yoko kungawakholisi amehlo anyulu ngokungenasiphelo omyeni wakhe wobuThixo, kwaye womelela nkqu noloyiko lokufa.

Kwenzekile ke, kwezona zilingo ziqatha, kwezona  ntloni zinzulu nakwezona ntlungu ziqatha, ishumi okanye  amashumi amabini .

iminyaka yokugqibela yobomi bale ntombi ingcwele, iimbandezelo zayo  zenza ukuba ubuhle bayo bube nyulu kwaye bungabi nakushukuma,  ngokutsho

ubungqina boluntu. Akukho nto yatshintsha umonde wakhe, ubulali bakhe, intobelo yakhe, okanye uthando lwakhe; uthobeke kakhulu kangangokuba usoloko ezibeka ngaphantsi kwabanye, kwaye usoloko echukunyiswa yimbeko abantu abanayo ngaye kunye nentembelo ebonakaliswa kuye.

Amaxhala akhe ngesihlandlo sempefumlelo ezintsha azithunyelelwa nguThixo.

Sibonile ukuba wayeguqukile wade watyhola ngezityhilelo zakhe zangaphambili; wada wambulela uThixo ngokumhlangula kwimpazamo waza wamnyanzela ukuba avule amehlo, ngokumhlutha zonke iindlela zokuphumelela kumsebenzi awayewenza.

yabangela ingxaki enkulu; wade, okwexeshana, wayijonga ingcinga yayo njengesihendo sedemon ekufuneka yaliwe; kwaye kwaba njalo

njengoko naye ngokwakhe evuma, kanye kulo mbono wakhe wawubandakanya: wayezivumele ukuba aqiniswe ukuba imiqobo emininzi kangaka emanyeneyo, eyayibonakala iyenza loo nto ingenakwenzeka ngokupheleleyo, yayibubungqina obuhle bokuba uThixo wayengakholiswa nguye; kwaye, emehlweni kaThixo, le miqobo yayiziindlela ezininzi zokuphumelela. Ekugqibeleni, wakholelwa ukuba isibhakabhaka

wamala, ngeli lixa wayezama ukumenza ukuba alungele iinjongo zakhe ezinkulu. Oko bekusoloko kukuziphatha kweProvidence, isixhobo esisisebenzisayo siyamkholisa kuphela xa sibuthathaka kakhulu, kwaye umsebenzi wayo ubonakala kuphela xa zonke iindlela zomntu zingasekho: Infirma mundi elegit Deus, ut confundat fortia. (I. ad Kor. 1, 27.)

Ukungasebenzi kwemizamo yakhe emitsha.

Ixesha lezilingo ezikhulu lalidlulile kuDade; Imbalela yayivulel’ indawo izibane ezitsha ezathi, ngokuchitha iimpazamo zakhe, zamenza, ngokungathi nangona yena ngokwakhe, wacinga amathemba amatsha ngaphandle kokuba akwazi ukubona kwangaphambili ngokucacileyo ukuba iya kuba yintoni impumelelo yabo. UThixo wabonakala ebhenela kwizigqibo awayezivumele engakhange azamkele; ixesha elide ilizwi elingaphakathi lalimbongoza; kodwa akazange abe nabuganga bokuxelela nabani na ngezinto ezintsha awayezithandela zona: UM. Audouin wayengasaphili, yaye ukususela ekufeni kwakhe akukho mlawuli wayekhe wangena kwiimbono zakhe waza wawuthathela kwicala elinye lo mbandela. Noko ke, ngenye imini wada waxelela omnye wabo ukuba uThixo wayemazisa ukuba ngenye imini, kwaye kungekudala, uya kuba nemvume yokuhlaziya ngonaphakade isibhambathiso sezenzo, esiza kuthetha ngaso ngokukhawuleza, kwaye wayenentliziyo eninzi. “Akuzubakho xa ndilapho,” waphendula. UDade othobekileyo noneentloni akasathethi; uthe cwaka walindela ukuba uThixo ngokwakhe amlungiselele indlela yokuphumeza oko kwakubonakala ngathi ukucela kuye, kuba wayesilwa ngakumbi kunanini na ngaphambili.

ukoyika inkohliso nokungathobeli ubabalo.

Oko akubhengezayo kungqinisiswa kwileta.

Enoba yayiphefumlelwe okanye yintelekelelo nje, oko wayekuthethile kwakuza kuphunyezwa kungekudala. M; ULesné de Montaubert wonyulwa kwi-vicariate yaseSaint-Léonard de Fougères; ibingumcimbi wokukhangela umntu oza kuthatha indawo yalo mlawuli ubalaseleyo ngoonongendi baseUrbanist. Ngenye imini apho kwabo

bethetha bethetha phambi koSister, uthe cwaka, omnye wabo wabiza izifundo ezimbini okanye ezintathu kwenye yazo.

ndicinezele ngakumbi. Ndiyakuqinisekisa mama ayizukuba yileya, uphazamise uDade; akuyi kubakho namnye kwabo bakhankanyiweyo. Ngoko satshintsha abalinganiswa; yaye, phakathi kwamagama afikayo kuloo ndawo, kwaqondwa ukuba kukho enye eyayibonakala imkholisa, nangona wayengekamboni lowo uyithweleyo. Uye wandivuma kuba uThixo wamnika ulwazi ngayo. Isihloko esasithiywe kuqala, nokuba wayekwalile oko

(54-58)

ngokukhawuleza, usanda kubekwa, ngumasipala, kunyango alutyala kuphela kwisifungo sakhe esilihlazo kunye nesiphithiphithi, kwaye

uxhobile umfundisi osemthethweni. Uya kusixelela kamva ukuba ucinga ntoni ngeyantlukwano kunye nongenelelo olwenza ukuba iBandla laseFransi lincwine namhlanje.

Kwakusele kusele iiveki ezimbalwa ukusukela oko, kumandla endiwafumeneyo, ngaphandle kokuwalindela, avela kwi-Abbé de Goyon, ephezulu

ekuhlaleni, naba nongendi balungileyo ndaqhelisela umsebenzi wokuba ngumalathisi, endawungenela ngoJulayi 18, 1790.

Ngokuthobeka okunzulu kunye nothando olufefe lukaThixo,

Ndiye ndaqaphela kuDade woZalo ukholo oluphilileyo, kangangokuba wabonakala efumanisa umntu ka-J.-C.: hayi, ngekhe athethe naye ngokuzithoba okanye ngentlonipho engakumbi... ndivume ukuba ndifumene kuyo yonke into awayeyithetha kum ingqiqo yendalo, a

ukuchaneka okungaqhelekanga kwengqondo nokuqiqa, ukuthe tye kwesazela nesigwebo sokugweba, andazi ukuba, ngamafutshane, yintoni eyayindithimbile, ngakumbi xa wayethetha nam ngoThixo nangeempawu zakhe zobuThixo.

Indumiso evela kwabaphezulu, ixhaswa bubungqina boluntu lonke.

UMam Superior, owayesakuba nguMam Michelle-Pélagie Binel, owaziwa ngenkolo njengeSeraphines , endinika uluhlu loonongendi, “Mhlekazi,” watsho kum, “sinomnye, phakathi kwabanye, obekulindile apha. ixesha elide, kwaye ngubani onezizathu ezikhethekileyo ukwenza wena a

ukulahlwa kwentliziyo ubomi bonke; nguDade wethu woZalo. Uye wandicela kakhulu ukuba ndenze isindululo kuwe kwaye ndikubuze ixesha

ebenokuthi ngamanye amaxesha athethe amazwi ambalwa kuwe kwigumbi elincinane. Luthumo lwam olwenziweyo, waqhubeka; kodwa, Mhlekazi, ndicinga ukuba kufuneka ndongeze into yam ngokuthanda ingcwele ongekamazi, kodwa oya kuthi mhlawumbi ube nethuba lokumazi ngcono kunaye nabani na; noko ngumnqweno wakhe lowo. Kuya kuba yimfuneko, mhlekazi, ukuhlala naye ukuze ukwazi ukuxabisa ngokupheleleyo ukuqina kobuhle bakhe; ukubona ukuba ukuthobela kude kangakanani na, ukuzincama nokuthobeka kokwenene. Ngalo lonke ixesha ilula yaye isoloko ilingana kwimikhwa yayo, uyayiphepha ngocoselelo yonke into ebonakala ngathi iyaphambuka kwindlela eqhelekileyo yaye inokwalatha ingongoma yemfezeko afikelele kuyo, nobabalo alunikwe nguThixo; kuba, Nkosi, uThixo wamnika izikhanyiso, azinika abantu abambalwa kakhulu, abanika kuzo abantu abancinane;

izinto angazange azenze komnye umntu ixesha elide kakhulu.

“Uya kwazi, Mhlekazi, ukuba kukho ixesha apho iingqikelelo zakhe zazisenza ingxolo, kunye nokulunga kwakhe. Kwafuneka abandezeleke kakhulu, kwaye walingwa ngeendlela ezininzi, ngakumbi kwesi sihlandlo: wothuswa kangangokuba, ukuze aphelise utyelelo lwabantu ehlabathini, ngaphezu kweminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu edlulileyo wayeka ukutyelela iholo. ngokupheleleyo kwaye ayisayi apho.

Kunqabile ukuba sibe nobuganga bokumbonisa imbeko okanye ubuhlobo; kwaye eyona ndlela iqinisekileyo yokumkholisa kukuba ubonakala ngathi uyidelile, kwaye ungayihoyi into ayithethayo, okanye into ayenzayo, okanye nantoni na eyamkhathazayo. Utya kuphela kwaye kunjalo

sinxibe iimpahla zethu ezishiyekileyo kuphela. Ngokwesiko loLuntu, unongendi ngamnye unxiba ingubo efanayo iminyaka esixhenxe emini, eminye iminyaka esixhenxe ebusuku. Emva kweminyaka elishumi elinesine yenkonzo, ezi lokhwe zindala ziyalahlwa, kwaye zenzelwa uhlobo oluthile lwempahla yamahlwempu. Ewe, mhlekazi, zezi lokhwe zindala zilungisiweyo ezithandwa nguDade ohluphekayo woMzalo ngaphezu kwazo zonke; ubuncinci wenza iingubo zakhe zangaphantsi, azinxibe de kube sekupheleni, nangona kungekho mntu ulihlwempu unokuzifumana okanye azisebenzise. Ngenye imini, xa ndingena esiseleni sakhe, ndambona ehonjiswe ngolu hlobo ngala madlavu ahlwempuzekileyo, ndathi ngaphakathi: “Zizo ke ezi ziintshaba zendoda.

Ubulungisa obunikezelwa ngokubanzi kubo bonke oonongendi baseFransi, ngexesha lokuziphatha kwabo ngenkalipho kwi-revolution.

Ukulindela kwam ukwakhiwa linani elikhulu laba nongendi balungileyo akukhange kuphoxeke, kukuvuma ukuba ndinetyala lenyaniso kwaye ndicinezele ubumsulwa. Phakathi kwamanqaku ambalwa angenakuthintelwa nangabalulekanga, ndibone iimpawu ezintle ihlabathi elizicekisayo ngenxa yokuba lingazazi; kwaye akazazi ngenxa yokuba engabafaneleyo. Xa umntu ekhe wayicinga into yokuhlonela uThixo ngendlela ekuthethwa ngayo kwizangqa, ayimangalisi into yokuba abe nezothe kuphela kwaye azijongele phantsi izenzo ze-cloister. Indlela yokungafumani imigaqo ehlekisayo eyenza kube ngumsebenzi wengqibelelo yevangeli kuthi, xa singenayo enye ivangeli ngaphandle kwemithetho egwebayo iindaba ezilungileyo, okanye nayiphi na enye inkolo ngaphandle kwejargon ethile yefilosofi, engathethi nto, okanye ithetha kuphela ukungazi kwaye ubungendawo?

(59-63)

Akunjalo, njengoko sisazi, ngeli lizwi lingcolileyo ukuba imiphefumlo yenkolo kufuneka ithathe yonke into enxulumene kwaye enokuba negalelo kwimfezeko

imeko yabo: abenjenjalo; yaye ngubani onokutsho ukuba oku kuthembeka kwizinto ezincinane ezenzelwe uThixo kukomeleza kangakanani ukuphunyezwa kwemisebenzi yokomoya? Ngamaxesha asifundisa ukugweba. Ewe, ngamaxesha esilingo azisa into esiyiyo,

njengokuba umthi waziwa ngesiqhamo. Kwimeko apho kwakungumcimbi wayo yonke into kubo, imeko eyabangela ukuba abantu abaninzi besini ngasinye kunye nayo yonke imeko bawexuke, le miphefumlo, eyayigqalwa njengemimoya ebuthathaka nenenyameko, ayizange ikholelwe ukuba inokongeza kwidini. kwimpahla yabo eyezazela zabo; babebalula oko bakutyalayo uThixo noko babekutyala kuKesare. La maqhawekazi angamaKristu awazange athandabuze ukubhenca, ukunikela nangobomi bawo, ukulondoloza ukholo lwawo.

Ngaloo ndlela, kwiintloni zesini esibafaneleyo umzekelo, siye sababona aba  baneentloni

Amahobe anyuka ngokwexesha lawo, Enyuka aye encotsheni yexhalanga; abo babeyazi kuphela indlela yokuthandaza nokuncwina, baxhobe ngenkalipho yobugorha, eyabenza baba bongamile kunezoyikiso nabaphantse bangafikeleli kuloyiko lokufa; Baye bawuvala umlomo umvandedwa, ulwaphulo-mthetho oluphangaleleyo, baza bawutyhalela umda umsindo wabo bangoozwilakhe. Infirma et contemptibilia elegit Deus, ut confundat fortia . (I. Kor. 1, 27, 28.) Ewe,  kwi

nangona isihogo kunye nabo bonke abaxhamli bayo, nangona yonke ingqumbo yabo ikwazi ukugabha kubo kwii-calumnies kunye neengcamango ezihlambalazayo, oonongendi baseFransi baye babonakalisa ubuso babo obuqinileyo kwezona ngozi zibalaseleyo, ukuba ii-cloisters zabo, eziye zatshatyalaliswa, zazisenazo izimilo ezifanele iinkulungwane zokuqala zeBandla; izinto ezintle ezinikela imbeko kumbutho wamakholwa; iimpawu ezintle unqulo oluzihlonelayo nezithi ihlabathi ngokwalo linyanzeleke ukuba lizincome; izinto ezintle, ekugqibeleni, eziphefumlelwe nguThixo kuphela kwaye azixhase kwaye nguye yedwa onokuvuza. Kungentliziyo enkulu nangovuyo olukhulu ukuba ndithabathe eli thuba ndinike imbeko koonongendi baseFransi ngokubanzi. Masibuyele kule nto kufuneka, ngokukodwa, ihlale kuthi.

Udliwano-ndlebe lokuqala kunye noDade wokuZalwa.

Wayendilinde ndedwa, ecinga, kwindawo endandiya kuyo ngexesha elimisiweyo. Emva kokubulisa, wandibuza

imvume yokuhlala, wahlala phantsi ngoko nangoko. Sasiqala ukubonana. Ndiyavuma ukuba ndabethwa kobo buso bubekekileyo nobubhityileyo, ngeso sigqubuthelo ibunzi, ngamehlo akhe apho ukuthozama kupeyintwe khona, kwaye ngaphezu kwako konke nguloo moya wokumiselwa kwangaphambili ongenakunikezelwa, nowodlula ngokungenasiphelo konke oko kuthiwa bubuhle. kunye nokufaneleka komntu ebantwini behlabathi. Ubude obunenzuzo kakhulu kunye nemilenze elinganayo, amagxa aphethweyo, ukuhamba ngokukhawuleza kunye nokuhamba ngokukhawuleza, intloko engcangcazelayo, umzobo omde ngokulinganayo, ngamandla.

evakala, yiloo nto kuphela endayibonayo ngomzimba wakhe; kodwa ukunika kakuhle lo mzobo wobungcwele, ndingaphantse ndithi ubungcwele ngamanye amaxesha umkhondo nkqu ebusweni bakhe umfanekiso othile ubuhle bomphefumlo wakhe, kuya kuba yimfuneko ukuba ipeyinte kwitafile yomthendeleko.

Udade uceba ukubeka ithemba lakhe ngokupheleleyo kumlawuli wakhe omtsha.

Watsho ejonge phantsi ethetha ecotha (kwakukuphela kwexesha awandithiya ngalo elo gama), mhlekazi, igama lam lenkolo ndinguSister waseMzalweni. Ndiza, ngemvume kamama wethu, wena

cela inkathalo yakho kunye nobubele, endiyidingayo ngaphezu kwakhe nabani na. Ndaphendula ndathi: “Ukuba ndinokuba luncedo kuwe, Dade, ungathembela kum, kuba yonke into iya kulunga ukuba ndinokunikela iinkonzo ezininzi kangangoko ndinqwenela.” “Unokwenza okuninzi,” waphendula watsho, “ukuba, njengoko ndinesizathu esivakalayo sokukholelwa, uThixo ufuna ukukusebenzisa ekungcwalisweni kwam.

noxolo lwam. Kwanangaphambi kokuba ndibe newonga lokukwazi okanye lokukha ndakubona, waqhubeka wathi, ndandisele ndiqinisekile ngokuthanda kwakho okulungileyo kuko konke okuphathelele uzuko lukaThixo nosindiso lwemiphefumlo, yaye yiloo nto ke endinika ithemba elingaka. . Bawo, ndiza kunibonelela ngenzondelelo yenu, kuba iintswelo zam zinkulu, yaye ndiza kuninika umsebenzi. (Ndiyakuqinisekisa ukuba koku, noko, akazange enze mpazamo.) Niyandibona, waqhubeka, amashumi amathandathu eminyaka ubudala, okanye njalo; ubulwelwe bam, nangaphezu kwale minyaka, bundilumkisa ukuba ndisondela esiphelweni somsebenzi wam, kwaye yonke into indenza ndivakalelwe kukuba esi siphelo asinakuba kude kakhulu ukususela ngoku.

Bawo, ndivumele eli gama, wongeze watsho, kuba sele unjalo, kwaye ndiyabona ukuba uya kuba njalo ngakumbi (ligama lodwa ebesoloko endibiza ngalo emva koko, naxa sincokola.) Bawo, zininzi izinto ezishiyekileyo. ukuba ndenze phambi kokuba ndivele phambi komgwebi wam: ukusuka ezonweni ukuya

ukuxolelwa, ukulunga kokufumana, iakhawunti enkulu endiya kuninika yona ngemeko yomphefumlo wam kunye nesazela endinqwenela ukunenza nibe ngumlindi waso. na kum

Uvunyelwe, Bawo, ukuba ndithethe nawe apha ngokuzithemba ngentliziyo evulekileyo? "Ewe, ntombi yam," ndamxelela.

(64-70)

unokuzichaza ngokuqinisekileyo kunye nenkululeko epheleleyo; emva koko waqhubeka ngolu hlobo:

Uya kwazi ngoko, Bawo, ukuba ndingoyena moni mkhulu,  ndingafaneleki, uThixo undijonga ngeliso  lenceba;

nangona kunjalo kwiminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo wandinika izibane  kwaye

ulwazi olwathi, ngamanye amaxesha, lwabandezeleka kukungavisisani ebebengenakuba nalo, ukuba besinokubona okwenzekayo namhlanje kunye noko ndisakubonayo... Bendisoyika kakhulu.

ukuba phantsi kwenkohliso; kodwa, okwethutyana, kwaye nangoku, ekungeneni kwakho, isazela sam siye sandenza ndoyika ukungcwaba nam engcwabeni oko uThixo wayendazise kum kuphela ngenxa yosindiso lwabaninzi… Eh! yeyiphi iakhawunti!

Ezi ngcinga zoyikekayo zenza ubomi bam bube ngumthwalo onganyamezelekiyo, ukuba isikhokelo esikhanyiselweyo, nokuthetha nam egameni likaThixo neBandla lakhe, akabelani nam. Kubonakala kum, Bawo? ukuba uThixo okuthumileyo kuthi, undiphefumlele ukuba ndithethe nawe ngenxa yoku, ndibhenele ekugqibeleni

enkundleni yakho, kwaye ndingenise kwisigqibo sakho kuwo onke amanqaku  achaphazela mna. Ngokubona kwam, Bawo, uya kuba ngumlawuli wethu wokugqibela, kwaye ndinqwenela ukuba ube ngowam ngokukodwa. Ndiyaniqinisekisa ukuba ndiya kufela ezandleni zenu, xa nithe naziva zonke iinkcukacha zobomi bam, ngako konke okundehleleyo phambi koThixo; ndakugqiba ndothula isazela sam kuwe. Kuyo yonke le nto, umntu umele afune kuphela oko kufunwa nguThixo. Kodwa wena, Bawo,  ungayifumana

Ukundikhulula kwangaphambili ngokundithembisa ukuba ndiza kukusebenzisa ngokunyamekileyo kwaye ndithathe isigqibo malunga nokuba uThixo uya kunikhokelela phi, kwaye niya kuyibona ihambelana nentando yakhe nemithetho yakhe, kwanaleyo yeBandla lakhe elingcwele, apho akuvumelekanga ukutenxa?

Ewe, ntombi yam, ndaphendula, ndithembisa ukwenza konke okusemandleni am ukwenza oko. Ndiza kukubona. Thandaza kuThixo ukuba andikhanyisele kwaye angandivumeli ukuba ndenze impazamo kwinqaku elibaluleke kangaka. Into awandinika yona ngoko nangoko, esongeza: Kwelam icala, ndiyathembisa, Bawo, ukuba ndiza kukucacisela ngokuthembeka amathandabuzo am nezinto ezindixhalabisayo kuwe kangangoko ndinako, ukutyhubela yonke into oyithandayo, kwaye ndikufumanele ububele bothando. umntwana; yindlela uThixo andiyalela ngayo ukuba ndiziphathe kakuhle. Bawo, ulilungisa nje ilizwi ebelifuna ukundinika, lindomeleza; kodwa, njengoko uqheliselo lokurhoxa osenzela lona lungakuvumeli ukuba uzinikele ngoku kuwo nawuphi na omnye umsebenzi, siya kulubekela ecaleni, ukuba ucinga ukuba kufanelekile, udliwano-ndlebe lwethu lokuqala lweentsuku ezisibhozo.

Uyinikela kuye uqheliselo lwangaphakathi ayenze ngesibhambathiso.

Kodwa ke ndisuka ndinike izinto ezimbalwa ezizezobuthixo, endisukuba ndinicela ukuba nikhe nizicikide ngayo; baya kundinika ithuba lokuba ndinixelele izinto ezininzi. Ndiza kukucacisela ngokulandelayo ukuba kutheni, njani kwaye ngubani

babemiselwe mna. Uya kuthi ke undixelele ukuba ndingasihlaziya na isibhambathiso ubomi bam bonke.

Ngala mazwi, uDade wandigqithisela isiqingatha sephepha, elisongwe labe libotshelelwa ngomsonto; emva koko wandiyeka, endicenga ukuba mandimxolele.

Ndabuyela kwigumbi lam, ndavula iphepha laloo Dade, ndaza ndafunda ezi zinto zintandathu zilandelayo, awathi wazenza ebudeni bokugula kwakhe kokugqibela.

ibhalwe nguMadam l'abbess. Ndiza kuzibhala igama negama, ngaphandle kweempazamo ezimbalwa zopelo.

“Makadunyiswe, anqulwe, athandwe kwaye kubulelwe uYesu Krestu ezulwini nakwiSakramente eNgcwele yesibingelelo.

"Mna. Ndiya kundwendwela umthendeleko osikelelekileyo njengoko kukho iiyure emini, ukususela ngentsimbi yesihlanu kusasa kude kube yintsimbi yethoba ngokuhlwa, kwaye, ngeyure nganye, ndisenza umboniso ongaphakathi. weNtliziyo eNgcwele ka-J.-C, kwinkumbulo yemfihlelo nganye yobomi nozuko lwalo Msindisi uthambileyo, ndiya kucamngca ngazo zonke izidima angumzekelo wazo, njengoko zizibonakalisa kum kwimfihlelo nganye; kwaye, ngokukodwa, ndiya kucamngca ngokuthotywa kwakhe nokutshabalalisa kwakhe.

“Ndiza kuthatha iimfihlelo ngokulandelelana, ndiqale ngentsimbi yesihlanu kusasa ngeNdalo, kwaye ndiphele ngentsimbi yethoba ngokuhlwa ngoLawulo lwaNaphakade lukaYesu Krestu eZulwini. Noko ke, mna ngaphandle kwangoLwesine, ukususela ngentsimbi yesithandathu ngokuhlwa ukuya kutsho ngolwesiHlanu imini yonke, utyelelo oluya kuthi lusetyenziselwe ukuhlonipha ngokulandelelana iimfihlelo zokuFa neNzondo yoMsindisi wam.

Lonke olu tyelelo luya kwenziwa engqondweni nasentliziyweni ngomoya osulungekileyo wokholo nothando, kwaye hayi ngomzimba, ngaphandle kweeyure xa ndiya kuba kwimibhiyozo noLuntu. Olu qheliselo lokuqala luya kwenziwa ngomoya wombingelelo, apho, ngokunqula uYesu Krestu kwiSakramente eSikelelekileyo, ndizimisele ukulungisa ngeNtliziyo yakhe eNgcwele, kwaye ngokumanyene naye, konke ukungabi nambulelo, ukudelela, ukungahloneli kunye nokuhlambalaza okwenziwe ngokuchasene naye. lomthendeleko uthandekayo wothando ngokukodwa, ukulungisa ingqumbo efunyenweyo kwaye iyifumana ezonweni zam.

Ukuzalisekisa olu qheliselo lokuqala, kuya kwanela, kwiyure nganye yosuku, ukuzixakekisa ngaphakathi ngemfihlelo nganye, ubude bePater kunye neAve . Kwimeko yokulibala ngeyure, ndingayikhupha kwiyure elandelayo; Ndiyakwazi, ngokuzithandela, ukubona kwangaphambili umcimbi ochithakeleyo, ndizise phambili okanye ndilibazise olu tyelelo, ngokubeka iyure enye ukuya kwenye.

Andiyi kudlula ikota yeyure ndingakhumbulanga ubukho bukaThixo, nokuba ndiphakamisela intliziyo yam kuye, okanye ngokuthandaza kuye ngomthandazo wengqondo okanye welizwi, ngaphandle kokuba ndilele okanye ndimangaliswe ngumsebenzi ongxamisekileyo okanye intloni. engalindelekanga. Ukuchitha nje ngabom kuya kundenza ndibe netyala lokusilela kule  ngongoma.

Ndiya kumthanda kuphela ummelwane wam ngenxa yothando olunyulu ,  olumanyene nolo lukaJ . 

yendalo, iintshukumo zayo ndiya kukhathalela ukulwa kwaye ndithintele kamsinya nje ndakubabona.

Ndiya kuzama ukuphila, ngobabalo lukaThixo, ndivalelwe ngokubanzi kuzo zonke izinto nakum, ukuze ndinamathele kuThixo yedwa kwaye ngokukhethekileyo kuye  .

Ndiya kukhathalela ukuzigcina ndizinikele ngokupheleleyo kwaye ndizithobe kwintando kaThixo, kwiintlungu ezahlukeneyo zengqondo  nomzimba

kuya kwenzeka kum, kwaye ngokubanzi kwiziganeko ezahlukeneyo zobomi, kwaye oko ngedini apho ndiya kuzama ukuzigcina ngale mvakalelo  :

Intliziyo iphambi kwakho, Thixo wam! njengexhoba elisoloko lilungele ukwenziwa idini ngokwentando yakho elungileyo, uthando lwakho olunyulu nozuko lwakho olukhulu.

Ndiya kuzigcina izibhambathiso zam nemimiselo yam ngendlela endizazi ngayo ukuba imkholise kakhulu uThixo kwaye igqibelele, ngengqiqo yokuba andiyi kwenza  nantoni na ngabom nangengqiqo.

(71-75)

ukungafezeki. Andiyi kuvumela ukuba kudlule, ngokubona kunye nenjongo, amathuba okuziqhelanisa neempawu ezintle, ngakumbi ukuthobeka. Thetha

umgaqo wolu kulunga, ndiya kuhlala ndibambelele kwiinyaniso zoKholo. Ndifuna

“Phila uze ufe intombi yeCawa eNgcwele yamaKatolika, yobuPostile neyamaRoma. Ndiya kulandela iintshukumo zobabalo kuyo yonke into, kwaye ndiya kuthobela ngokupheleleyo  ukuthobela.

“Ndibeka ezi zenzo zintandathu kwiNtliziyo eNgcwele kaYesu noMariya, ukufumana ubabalo loNyana kunye nokukhuselwa kukaMama, okuyimfuneko kakhulu ukuthembeka kubo de kube sekufeni. Ngokubhekiselele kwezi zenzo, nakuphi na ukulibala ngokuzenzekelayo, ukugula, ubulwelwe bomzimba okanye ingqondo, nawuphi na umsebenzi womoya okanye wexeshana, uya kundikhulula esiphosweni; kuya kubakho kuphela intando yangabom nebonakalisayo ebangela isono.  »

Ukulandela olu qheliselo kwafundwa imvumelwano eyayingatyotyelwa, yaye uDade noMphathi oPhakamileyo bandixelela ukuba ivela kuM. Audouin ongasekhoyo. Wamvumela ukuba azibophelele kuyo ubomi bakhe bonke, kodwa phantsi komqathango wokuba, ukuba esi sithembiso sinokumzisela inkathazo nonxunguphalo, asisayi kuphinda sibekho, nokuba, ngaphezu koko, umvuma-tyala wakhe uya kuhlala enalo. eli tyala, igunya lokuyicacisa, ukuyinqumla, okanye ukuyicinezela ngokupheleleyo, ukuba ucinga ukuba ifaneleke ngakumbi….. Kangangexesha elithile, uDade wayekhathazwa kakhulu kwesi sihlandlo, ngumntu othile.

Isigqibo esamenza waqonda ukuba unongendi akanakwenza nasiphi na isibhambathiso ngaphandle kokuthatha inxaxheba kowongamileyo, yaye ngenxa yoko sasingento yanto. Kum kwabonakala ngathi esi sigqibo asichanekanga, ubuncinane ngokubhekiselele ekusetyenzisweni kombhali kwaso, kwaye ndacinga ukuba unongendi angakwazi.

ngokwalo ukuzibophelela ngesibhambathiso kwizenzo zangaphakathi kuphela, ezithi, kude nokuphazamisa ulungelelwaniso olulungileyo, ziyimfezeko yomgaqo othe wawamkela, kwaye ngokucacileyo zithandeka kuphela kuzuko olukhulu lukaThixo malunga nokulunge ngakumbi koku. umphefumlo; ngakumbi ukuba kubonakala ngathi nguThixo ngokwakhe oyalelayo; kuba ukuthanda kukaThixo, kubonakala kakuhle, kuhlala kunobungqina bakho. Eso yayisisigqibo somntu ongcwele nofundileyo ngonqulo, awathi uThixo, ngokungathi kunjalo, wamthumela ukuba arhoxe kulo Mbutho, ngokucacileyo ukuze atshabalalise umoya kaDade ongendawo.

imiphumo eyabangelwa ngomnye wabavumisi bakhe ngokungenangqiqo.

UMlawuli ugunyazisa ezi nkqubo.

Ekugqibeleni, emva kokuba ndilinganise yonke into ngexesha lokuzonwabisa kwaye ndasihlolisisa esi sibhambathiso kuzo zonke iimeko esiza kuzibona kwi-sequel, ndafumanisa ukuba izizathu ezidala kunye nezitsha zoDade zazizezendalo ukuthambekela.

ibhalansi. Ngenxa yoko, ndinike, ngakumbi okanye ngaphantsi ngokwengqiqo kaM. Audouin, isigqibo sokugqibela apho uDade azimisele ukunamathela kuso, ngaphandle kokubonisana nabani na. Esi sigqibo simvumela ukuba ahlaziye esi sibhambathiso kwimibhiyozo yeKrismesi yowe-1790, ngale meko: “ngaphandle kokunyanzeleka ukuba akwenze oko phantsi kwesohlwayo sesono. Ngale ndlela, ndandizalisekisa ndingayazi into awayeyithethile uDade kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ngaphambi koko, ukuba kungekudala uza kuvunyelwa ukuba aphinde aqalise uqheliselo lwakhe, nokuba asihlaziye ngonaphakade isibhambathiso sakhe. Masibuyele kwibali lethu.

Ingxelo yembali yodliwano-ndlebe olwahlukeneyo umhleli abenalo kunye noSista.

Lwaludlulisa ke olo dliwano-ndlebe lokuqala, olwathi lwalandelwa ngokukhawuleza ziincoko ezingamashumi amane okanye amahlanu ngaphezulu okanye ngaphantsi okanye ezinde, ingxelo eneenkcukacha ezenza ingqokelela endiyibonisa kumfundi ongumKristu, egameni lalowo ndikholelwa ukuba nguye kuphela umbhali. yaye ubuKristu buboleka kuye, kuyo yonke imbonakalo. Udade, ngokokubona kwam, lilungu lesixhobo eso

UThixo wazinceda; kwaye iziphene, ndiyaphinda ndithi, nangaluphi na uhlobo, oluya kufunyanwa kulo msebenzi, kuphela kwendawo apho unobhala okanye umhleli anelungelo lokubanga, ekuphela kwayo athandazayo ukuba afakwe kuye emsebenzini. yonke into.

Babebabini kuphela oonongendi ababekwimfihlo yethu, owaba ngowokuqala owandivulelayo, noMadame le Breton, owayebizwa ngokuba nguDade kaSainte Madeleine, owayengumphathiswa wemali, nowaba ngowongamileyo (1) kwiinyanga ezimbalwa emva kokuba ndingenile. Yonke into eyenzeka phakathi kwam noSister yayiyintsumantsumane.

kulo lonke uluntu. Iholo encinane eyayinxibelelana negumbi lomlawuli kwakhona yakhethwa ukuba ibe yindawo yonxibelelwano; kwaye phezu kwazo nje izilumkiso ezithatyathiweyo, sabona, kunye noDade ngokwakhe, njengohlobo lommangaliso, ukuba, edlula.

ngokuyimfuneko phambi kweengcango zomnye oodade, kuko konke ukuphuma nokuphuma kwakhe, wayengabonwanga, engakrokrelwanga nangamnye kubo; Inyathelo lalimtyibilizi ngakumbi kuba yayilapho ngokukodwa apho yonke into yasilela khona okokuqala, kwaye le palpari incinci inelishwa yaba ngumthombo wentshutshiso ekwakufuneka abandezeleke kuyo.

(1) Ngesicelo esasele senziwe, ndayalelwa ngabaphathi ukuba ndilwenze olu nyulo ngokufihlakeleyo ukuthintela olo lucetywayo ngumasipala. Eli nyathelo lalisenokuba sesinye sezizathu eziphambili zentshutshiso ethile eyandinyanzela ukuba ndibaleke ndisaba ukufa.

(76-80)

ngaphakathi ekuhlaleni, yaye wawuvaliwe ngeso sizathu.

Xa kwakusenzeka ukuba ndithethe ngezakwalizwi, okanye ndiphikisane nombuzo othile wentanda-bulumko, maxa wambi ndandiphatha ngokulula ukude ndizenze ndiyikholelwe ngaphakathi, ngokungathi kukho into endiyaziyo; kodwa

xa ndisiva uSister waseMzalweni ethetha nam ngentliziyo evulekileyo malunga

iindawo ezithile zomoya, ndabona ulwakhiwo lokuzithanda kwam lubhanga; kwaye phantse ukonganyelwa kukukhanyiselwa kwayo, bendisoloko ndinyanzelekile ukuba ndivume ngaphakathi ukungazi kwam kwaye ndivumelane nam ukuba andizange ndibe ngumfundi waloo nto bendingumalathisi wayo: oku asikuko ukuba andizange ndibe nalo ithuba. ukuva imiphefumlo ethile kanjalo ithatha ithuba elavakalisa ngokwaneleyo ukuba bakholelwa ngokwabo ukuba iphefumlelwe, kwaye mhlawumbi babenqwenela ukuba bendikholiwe. Ewe, abanye babethethe nam ngeempembelelo; kodwa ndiyakuqinisekisa ukuba akukho mntu wayekhe wathetha nam ngale nto njengaye, kwaye ndicinga ukuba bekungayi kuba lula ukwenza impazamo, ukuba umntu ubenemigaqo ethile malunga nendlela yokuqonda ngolu hlobo inyaniso 'kunye nobuxoki. , into eyomeleleyo neyinyani, kunye nento ethelekelelwayo kuphela.

Akukho nto eyakhayo ngakumbi, akukho nto inokuzisa okulungileyo,  kunoko

uthetha ngoDade woZalo: yonke into emalunga naye iphefumla isidima kwaye yenza  ukuba ububi buthiye. Ngokukodwa ekubeni endinike ukuzithemba okungagungqiyo, ndiye ndazingcikiva izihlandlo ezilikhulu ngenxa yokuba kude kangaka kwimfezeko yakhe; ndaza ndambulela izihlandlo ezilikhulu uThixo, ngokungathi ndingobabalo olugqithileyo losindiso, ngokuba  ndinaye

ubizelwe kukhokelo lwaloo mphefumlo ulungileyo nongcwele. Dumisani iZulu ukuba olu babalo alubanga sisizathu esitsha sokugwetywa! Bonke abo baye bafumana i-advantage yokumazi baye bathetha into enye, bezibuza: "Ndiza kumfanela nini uDade Wokuzalwa? Ndiya kumthanda nini uThixo, ndiya kumkhonza nini, ndithobeke nini, ndithobeke njengalo nongendi olungileyo, ndinyanisekile kwimisebenzi yam, ndizimele kum?

Indlela awakufumana ngayo ukukhanya uThixo awathetha naye.

Bendihlala ndithandeka ukuba ndifumane isizathu sokumzisa kwiingxoxo ezithile, ngenxa yenzuzo endiya kuzifumanela yona kwaye

abanye; kulapho ke, ngeenjongo zokundenza ndizazi izinto ezenzeka ngaphakathi kuye, wandixelela ngobulula bomntwana ezona zinto zimangalisayo nezimangalisayo. Ndothukile ukuya kutsho  kwinqanaba lokugqibela ukubona ulwazi olungaka luneentloni ezingaka,  ukuphakama okungaka

womoya onenkcubeko encinci; iingcinga ezibalaseleyo ngokuthobeka okungaka; iimbono zakhe ezintle kunye nemiboniso eqaqambileyo izaliswe kwaye ithabathekile

kakhulu engqondweni yam, kangangokuba iiyure zazihamba njengemizuzu, kwaye rhoqo, ngaphandle kokuqonda kwethu, iintetho zethu zazityhalwa kude kube sebusuku.

Awona manqaku angabonakaliyo emfundiso kunye nokuziphatha andicacisele ngokuchaneka nangokuchaneka, ubunzulu kunye nokucaca okukwaziyo, ngokoluvo lwam, kwabafundi bezakwalizwi abothusayo abazaziyo kwezi nkalo.

iintlobo zemathiriyeli, njengoko kwenzekile ngokufunda imbonakalo yakhe. Ngamazwi akhe anamandla, ahlala endalo kwaye ehlala ethelekisa nje, wafumanisa imigibe yotshaba losindiso, kunye neendlela zokuyinqanda okanye ukuyiphepha. Kwaphawula ukuhla kokucinga okanye ukulahlwa kukaThixo, amadabi endalo kunye nobabalo emphefumlweni.

zisashukuma, iimfihlo azisebenzisayo uThixo ukuphumeza iinjongo zakhe, ngaphandle kwayo yonke imiqobo…. Ukuba maxa wambi wayengazange ame ngesiquphe aze athi kum: “UThixo akandibonisi ngakumbi, okanye andithintele ukuba ndiqhubele phambili, ndandiya kukholelwa ukuba ngewayeye kwibhunga leThe Divinity.

Ngamanye amaxesha kwenzeka, wathi kum ngenye imini, ukuba ndibona kuThixo

izinto endingazivayo; Ndiyiva inyaniso ngaphandle kokuba ndiyiqonde. Ngoko, xa uThixo efuna ndizichaze, ucebisa amagama endingasoloko ndiyibona intsingiselo yawo, ndibona nje ukuba kufuneka ndiwasebenzise. Kwaye ngaphakathi

Ngenene, ngalo lonke ixesha endibuza ukuba ithetha ukuthini na intetho enje awayeza kuyisebenzisa, yayiligama ekungekho nelinye elinokuthi lidityaniswe namandla, kwaye kwakungenakwenzeka ukuba litshintshe. Andi

Andiyiva, watsho, kodwa ndiyabona ukuba kufuneka kubhaliwe: injalo, umzekelo, igama elithi vulture, ukuchaza i-monster engapheliyo eyayibona esihogweni ikrazula amaxhoba ayo ngezikhonkwane kunye nomlomo owoyikekayo. . Wayebona ukuba ukumila kwesi silwanyana kwakufana nentaka; kodwa njengoko wayengenakucinga ukuba kwakha kwakho intaka yolu hlobo, okanye le nkohlakalo, wayengazi ukuba angayithiya gama lini na, yaye uJ.-C. into ayenzileyo. Ngaloo ndlela ngamanye amaxesha wayenombono ngaphandle kwentetho, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha intetho kunye nombono ngaphandle kokwazi ukufaneleka kwabo okanye isifaniso sokwenyani.

Amaxesha amaninzi, waqhubeka wathi, UThixo undinika ingcamango kwaye ayiyekele kum ukuba ndiyidlulisele ngokwam; Ndisebenza kuyo ngempumelelo ngakumbi okanye ngaphantsi.

Kungekudala, mhlawumbi uyakholiswa yimigudu yam, okanye uyandixhasa

(81-85)

amagama afanelekileyo endingazange ndiwafumane. Xa endityhilela okuthile ngemimiselo yolungiselelo lwakhe, umzekelo, uqala ngokundenza ndizive nzulu kangangokuba ndingade ndinqwenele ukuya ngaphezu koko akufunayo; olu loyiko lunentlonipho andinika lona, ​​luyandinqanda

umbuzo ngolwazi azigcinele lona; Ke kaloku oku kuziphendulela kwakhe kuye, kuthe nkqi kum, wokuba ndithanda ukufa kunokuba ndilibale. kodwa kunqabile ukuba uThixo andinike izithintelo eziqatha ngolo hlobo; ngokuphindaphindiweyo undishiya inkululeko engakumbi kwinto andazisa ngayo: Ndibona kuye umnqweno othile wokungakhathali ongandivumeli nje ukuba ndicele okungakumbi kuye, kodwa obonakala undimema ukuba ndenze njalo; aze anelise iminqweno yam ngale ndlela yangaphakathi; liciko eliphindwe kaliwaka kunamazwi; nobuciko bobuntu bakhe bungasokuze busondele.

Yiyo loo nto maxa wambi ebenengxaki enkulu ekudluliseleni izimvo zakhe. Akafumananga xesha, akukho kuthelekiseka nalo

ukwenza kuviwe; kodwa ke ukuthula kwakhe, ukuphefumla kwakhe, ithoni yakhe enamandla yathetha kakhulu kunabanye, kwaye ihlala isenzelwa

ukungabikho kokuthetha. “Bawo,” watsho kum, “awu! Ndibonile okanye ndibone izinto endingenakuzithetha, kodwa ke ndithanda ukuningqinela. Ah! hayi indlela abuthathaka ngayo umntu! akanako ukuziveza kuphela okanye azenze aviwe, akanakuthetha ngoThixo; kodwa kanjalo, enobuthathaka obungaka, angathetha njani ngesi sidalwa singenasiphelo? Bawo ndibone kuThixo ndigalelwe ubuThixo.... Ndintywiliselwe kwaye ngokungathi ndixakeke kubukho bobuthixo, ndandingasenabo nabuphi na ubukho bam…Ndandinqula ubungangamsha obuphakamileyo balowo wangaphambili ngalo lonke ixesha…. Yasinda ke ngoko kwezi zinto

amazwi anamandla obuprofeti bokwenene oyisa konke, kwaye anokuthi, njengoMoses, uIsaya, umprofeti ukumkani noPawulos oNgcwele,

esi sidubedube sonwabileyo savinjwa intetho kuphela ngenxa yokuba sinento eninzi kakhulu esinokuyithetha, kwaye sisondele kakhulu kuBunkulunkulu, njl njl. Dominas Deus, ecce nescio loqui . ( Yer. 1, 6 )

Ngaphezu kwesihlandlo esinye ngequbuliso wandibuza:

Uyandiva bawo ngoba ndivuma kuwe andiziva? Ekuphela kwento endinokukuqinisekisa kukuba ndiyakholwa ukuba ndiyibona yonke le nto kuThixo, kwaye uyandinyanzela, ukuba ndithethe njengoko ndenzayo: ndixelele ukuba awufumani nto ichasene neSibhalo esiNgcwele okanye

Izigqibo zeCawa; kuba, xa kunjalo, ndiyakuthembisa ukuba ndiya kuyiyeka ngokupheleleyo (wayedinga impendulo ngaphambi kokuba aqhubeke). Ngokuphathelele oko kuqulethwe kwiZibhalo Ezingcwele, phakathi kwezinto endizixelela zona, ndiyakuqinisekisa, Bawo, ukuba ndikuxelela kuphela ngenxa yokuba uThixo endibonisa; kwaye xa ndingazange ndibe nalo naluphi na ulwazi nokuba lweZibhalo eziNgcwele, okanye uKholo, okanye lweBandla; xa bekungazanga kubekho vangeli ehlabathini, bendiya kukuxelela yonke into endikuxelela yona, kuba ndiyibona kuThixo, kwaye uThixo uyala ukuba ndithethe kuwe ngaphandle kokuba ndikwazi ukukuxelela. oko wakuphinda-phinda kum amatyeli amaninzi, esongeza kum, njengoPawulos oNgcwele kumaGalati, ukuba oko wakuthethayo kum wakubhalayo, wayengenakho

wafunda kurhwebo lwabantu, okanye kwimibhalo yabo, kodwa ukuba wayesazi kuphela kuJ.-C. owayemtyhilele oku: Neque enim ego ab homine accepi illud, neque didici, sed per revelationem Jesus- Christy. (Gal. 1.12).

Imiyalelo kaDade malunga neziphazamiso emthandazweni.

UDade wayengasoloko ekule ngcinga ziphakamileyo, wayekwazi ukuthoba ithoni yakhe kwaye atshintshe isitayile sakhe kwizinto ezahlukeneyo ekufuneka ajongane nazo. Nantsi indlela, ngokuqonda indlela yakhe yokwenza izinto

emthandazweni, wathetha nam ngenye imini malunga neziphazamiso, iingcinga ezimbi, nayo yonke into ethintela ukusetyenziswa kobukho bukaThixo. “Ngokwam ukubona, Bawo, iingcinga ezimbi zifana nokuncokola; zombini zidla ngokuba yingozi ekubeni msulwa kunye nasemthandazweni nasekusetyenzisweni kobukho bukaThixo. Ndicinga ukuba incinci

abantu, nokuba bangaphakathi kangakanani na, abangenawo amava ngaphezulu okanye ngaphantsi kwayo. Kuqala ingqondo ima kwiingcinga

yasemzini, ilize, ingenamsebenzi kwaye ayinamsebenzi; uhlala khona ngokuqhutywa yintliziyo, njengoko bammisa engenanto kodwa emsulwa kwaye esemthethweni kakhulu.

inkangeleko. Imfuneko yokuphumla evunyelweyo imenza awagqale njengokuzonwabisa okuyimfuneko; kodwa umntu akanikeli ngqalelo ukuba ukusuka apho  ukuya kwingcamango engendawo kukho inyathelo elinye kuphela, kunye nenyathelo elimtyibilizi kakhulu, ekulula kakhulu kwaye liqhelekileyo kakhulu ukuwela  .

“Kuba, okokuqala, le ngcinga ilize nengenamsebenzi iyaphazamisa kwaye itsale ingqondo kubukho bukaThixo: isimo, esele siyingozi kakhulu. Uyintlanzi yasemanzini; yinqanawa eshiye izibuko, eyathi, ikhukuliswe ngamaza, ibe yinto yokudlala yesaqhwithi; lijoni eliwushiyileyo umkhosi walo laza lazivelela kwizithonga zotshaba. Kwakhona, Bawo wam, jonga ukuba usathana akwazi njani ukuthatha isikhundla esiluncedo kuye!...

(86-90)

Kwaye le ngcinga imsulwa ngokukhawuleza iphunyezwe ngulowo ungaphantsi; kuvela enye, nto leyo ephakamisa izibonda kwakhona kwaye ngokukhawuleza inike indawo kwingcinga edla ngokuba lulwaphulo-mthetho. Idemon, esoloko ijongile, ayikhe isilele ukuthatha ithuba lolu hlobo lokungaqondi ukubamba intelekelelo yethu. Emva koko kufuneka silwe notshaba olunamandla, ebesinobukrelekrele bokunikela kulo

isango lokungena: leliphi ilinge elingacebisiyo, kwaye kwenzeka ntoni ukuba umntu uyeka apho ngokukhululeka okuthile! Yeha! utata wam, thina

kuphela usinda ekwaphukelweni yinqanawa ngokubuyela kwindawo yokhuseleko lobukho bukaThixo, kwaye akafane abuyele apho engakhange afumane inxeba elithile edabini.

“Kukangaphi uJ.-C.

ndazityhila ekumkeni kwam ebusweni bakhe obungcwele! Ke, Bawo, ndiyazama ukuba ndingaze ndiphume kuyo: yiyo loo nto iincoko zindisinda kakhulu, zindinika okuninzi ukwenza kuneyona ngcinga ingaqondakaliyo. Pha

14 Nangenxa ke yaloo nto, Bawo, kufuneka ndihlale ndizilindile apho, ukuze ndingaziniki lowo ndinguye. Gweba nje ukuba yintoni umsebenzi! hayi indlela endimele ndikunqwenele ngayo ukuphela kokuzonwabisa! Owu! Ndiyakuqinisekisa ukuba ndihlala ndiyinqwenela. Noko ke, Bawo, uThixo uyandibonisa ukuba mandingalahli; ukuba ngokuchaseneyo, i

uthando kufuneka luyenze ibe ngumsebenzi wam ukuba lapho kunye noodade bam kwaye ndincokole nabo. Ngoko ndizama ukuziboleka kuyo ngaphandle kokuzinikela.

Uhlobo lwakhe lomthandazo.

Ngokuphathelele ukucamngca kwam, isimbo sakhe Bawo, ndiza kukuxelela amazwi ambalwa malunga nabo namhlanje, ukuze undixelele ukuba ndinokuqinisekiswa malunga nendlela endidla ngokuyenza ngayo. Okokuqala mna

zama ukusebenzisa ingqondo yam kumbandela womthandazo; kodwa kuyenzeka ukuba umtsalane onamandla ngakumbi umkhokelela kwezinye izinto,

ngakumbi kwimithendeleko yam. Ubukho bukaThixo bubamba ukuqonda kwam ngokucacileyo kangangokuba ngamanye amaxesha iimvakalelo ziyachaphazeleka. Ndiye ndibone izinto kuThixo ezingasandishiyiyo inkululeko yokukhumbula umxholo wokucamngca. Ixesha lam lonke ndilichitha ndiqwalasela oko uThixo andibonisa kona. Kungoko ke, Bawo, kufanele kuphawulwe ukuba, xa ndinetyala lokungathembeki, ndifumana izohlwayo,

zigubungele ngokudideka nenguquko. Ndicela uxolo kuThixo, osoloko endamkela ngobubele obufanayo; ngokuba ungcikivo lwakhe luhlala lunenceba nemfesane.

“INkosi elungileyo ayizange indingcikive ngale ndlela yokuthandaza;

kuphela isazela sam sindenza ndiqonde ukuba kuya kuba kuhle ukucebisana nawe ukuze ukhululeke ngakumbi kweli cala. Ngoko ke, Bawo, ukuba ufumene okulungileyo kwaye ungabi nasizathu sakuchasa, ndiya kuhlala ndisenza kwangolo hlobo.

Ubabalo awalufumana kumthendeleko.

"Kunqabile ukuba ndidle umthendeleko ngaphandle kokufumana ubabalo oluthile oluvela kuThixo: kude nokubacela kuye, ndamcela ngaphezu kwesihlandlo esinye ukuba

zinqumle okanye zilinganisele imiphumo yazo, nto leyo endineentloni ngayo ngokupheleleyo, ndizazi ukuba andifanelekanga kwaphela kubo. Akunakwenzeka ukuba ndiqonde

indlela uThixo omkhulu anokuthi ngayo afikelele kwinqanaba elinjalo; indlela anokuthi athande ngayo isidalwa esincinci nesihluphekileyo, umoni onelishwa

njengokuba ndinje….. Yhu! uBawo, akandiva; kokukhona ndizamayo

ndimele ukungafaneleki kwam kuye, okukhona ndisiba nomdla kwizibongozo zam, kokukhona ebonakala enenkani ekundithulule ngobubele obungandifanelanga, endiye ndoyika ukuxela endiza kunikela ngako, ngokukodwa xa ndicinga ukuba incinane ingeniso. Ndenze ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. »

Ingxelo ebilindelweyo yentshutshiso ebangel' imincili ngakumhleli.

Ukususela kusuku lokuqala awandenza ngalo ukuba ndibhale, wayendixelele ukuba akukho

lalingekho ixesha lokuba siphulukane. Kwiinyanga ezintathu okanye ezine ethetha nam ngesazela sakhe nangesityhilelo sakhe, wandiphindaphinda izihlandlo ezingamashumi amabini ukuba wayesoyika kakhulu ukuba singaze sibenalo ixesha lokubhala yonke into awayeza kundixelela yona. baleka; kweneke ntoni

njengoko ebecebe. Nangona kwakungekho themba lokundibona ndizingela ngokukhawuleza kangaka nangokungxama, ngokuchaseneyo, abantu babethetha

ukumisela ababingeleli abaziintloko ishwangusha elimiselweyo eliya kubaqinisekisa ukuba baphila ngokunyanisekileyo, ngaphandle kokuba nangayiphi na indlela babe netyala eluntwini ngemisebenzi ezukileyo yobulungiseleli babo. Kubonakala ngathi uDade wokuZalwa akazange akhohliswe yile mbonakalo intle, nangona kunjalo yakhohlisa abaninzi bezopolitiko, kuba emva kokuba ebabhengeze, emva koko wathatha amanyathelo amaninzi okuthintela iziphumo zabo kunye nokusindisa iprojekthi yakhe ekuphuhlisweni kwenqanawa eyayisasongela. yena.

Ngale njongo, wayesoloko ephinda kum ukuba wayesoyika imiphumo yesaqhwithi esasihlasela kunye neprojekthi yethu; wandixelela ukuba idemon enomsindo yayiza kwenza iinzame zokugqibela zokumenza angaphumeleli okwesibini; wandixelela indlela emayihambe ngayo, nendlela emandilukhohlise ngayo ulindelo lwakhe ngoncedo lukaThixo….. “Bawo, yeza kundixelela ngenye imini, ukuba lumkele utshaba lwakho;

(91-95)

Kuxelwe imfazwe ngani, kuthintelwe ukwaphuka kwakho; thina

Ngaba sele ujonge zonke iindlela zokukubamba ngempazamo: okokuqala, igama lakho liyafunwa. Kukho abantu ababi abajonge ukukufaka mnyama emehlweni abantu. Nceda, Bawo, uze ungangenisi namnye umfazi endlwini yakho, nangaluphi na uhlobo; kuba ndiyabona ukuba kulapho umntu kufuneka aqale khona: ukuba, ukuba ubani uyeza kunibonisa malunga nomcimbi othile

isazela, phendula ngokukhawuleza ukuba uthetha ngayo kuphela kwisivumo sovumo, kwaye ngokukhawuleza uthumele aba bacebisi emva ebandleni okanye emakhayeni abo. Kholelwa-

Mna, Bawo, uya kuba wenza kakuhle ukuba nithe nalithobela icebiso lam. Ndandilumkile ukuba ndingaphoswa. Ndaye ndafunda, emva kwexeshana, ukuba eli cebo lihlazo lalizanyiwe kwangelo xesha awathi uDade wandinika eli cebiso, kwaye.

Ndayifunda komnye waba bantu babecelwe ukuba ndiyenze.

"Uya kuthi ke utshutshiswe ngokungawuthobeli umthetho wesifungo, ongenakukwazi kwaye ungawuthathi: uya kunyanzelwa ukuba uhlukane nathi: isohlwayo esinjani, Bawo, kuluntu, kunye nakum ngokukodwa! Ngala mazwi, uDade olihlwempu wabonakala enengqondo echukunyiswe yintlungu; emva kweenyembezi ezimbalwa wongezelela: "Kodwa, nantoni na eyenzekayo, umntu kufuneka anqule uBonelelo oluvela kuThixo kwaye arhoxe kuyo yonke into kwimiyalelo yayo." Iza kuba mbi kakhulu, Bawo! Andinakukuxelela ngenene ukuba le nto iza kuhamba kangakanani; kodwa ndiyabona kwaye ndiyakuqinisekisa ukuba kuya kubakho uphalazo-gazi oluninzi kunye nokuphazamiseka okubi kakhulu eFransi. Lungiselela ukubandezeleka; yonke into ingxamisekile kumanqaku oceba ukuwazoba. »

Nangona kunjalo ufuna ukuchaza izilumkiso ezahlukeneyo zikaSister, yonke into yenzeka njengoko wayebonile kwaye wabhengeza. Ucatshukiswe kukuxhathisa okuqinileyo kunye nenkcaso engenakuthintelwa eboniswe ngala maqhawekazi

livalwe ukuba lingaqapheli myalelo uphuma kwiNdlu yoWiso-mthetho, nokungamkeli umfundisi, namlawuli, nanye nantoni na, ethe yathunyelwa ngakwicala layo, amalungu aziintloko kamasipala akazange asilele ukundibalela nokuba mnye kuninzi lwaloo nto ayibizayo. ubuntamo-lukhuni boonongendi ababenenzondelelo yempambano ngumalathisi wabo, okanye bandibek’ ityala ngako, ingakumbi ukususela kweso siganeko ndiza kusibalisa.

Kwakulisiko ukuba abefundisi becawa yaseSaint-Léonard beze ngomngcelele ukuya koonongendi baseUrbanist, ukuze babhiyozele  uMthendeleko Ongcwele apho ngemihla yeNgcwele uMarko, njengoko kwakunjalo nangemihla eyayibizwa ngokuba yiRogations . Umalathisi, ekwi-surplice nesela, waya kwamkela umngcelele waza wawubuyisela esangweni, okanye kwicawa yerhamente. Emva  koko

M. Méneust-des-Ausnays wayegxothiwe kwaza kwathatyathelw’ indawo ngumngeneleli, uMadame la Supérieure wafumana ileta awathi kuyo usodolophu wamxelela ukuba wayenethemba yaye wayeqonda ukuba yonke into yayiza kuhamba ngendlela efanayo nalo mfundisi mtsha, owayecebise ukuba enze isindululo. baye endlwini yabo kunye nabefundisi,  umasipala wonke kunye nomngcelele: ngenxa yoko, wayalela ukuba kukhaliswe iintsimbi ze-convent kamsinya nje ukuba umngcelele uqalise, kwaye yonke into ifanele ilungile kwi-sacristy ukulungiselela imisa eya kuba kuculwa,  njl.

Engamangalanga, umphathi waphendula usodolophu ngelithi ukuba ngumfundisi osemthethweni, umfundisi wokwenene werhamente, ofanele ukuzimisa, unokuthembela ekubeni asoloko emkelekile kwaye amkelwe njengesiqhelo, ngaphandle kwesidingo salo masipala. ukuya kwiindleko zokwenza nayiphi na

ingcebiso, ekubeni wayeyazi into ekufuneka ayenze; kodwa ukuba, ukuba ibinguye lo wambiza umfundisi omtsha, wayengamazi engafuni nokumazi, de abe wamngqina.

ubungcwele bomsebenzi wakhe; ngoko ke, ukuba wayefuna ukwenza uMthendeleko endlwini yabo, kufuneka anyamekele yonke into eyimfuneko kuloo nto, ekubeni wayethembele ekungawafumaniyo namanzi kwisakramente, kwaye eyona nto wayenokuyenza yayikukungabi nalo ucango. yendlu yecawa ivaliwe, eyayidla ngokuvulwa ngaxeshanye ukuze uluntu lube lula.... Usodolophu wayenomsindo, kwaye

umasipala, ongaphumelelanga nto kuwo, kungekuko unyulo, okanye ukwamkelwa kommiselo, okanye ubhishophu omtsha, njalo njalo, njalo njalo, wazithembisa ukuba uya kuba nesandla esiphezulu. Ngosuku olulandelayo, okanye kwangolo suku lunye, lo mngeneleli wathumela ileta apho

wazama ukuzikhohlisa ngokuziqhatha ngokucenga kunye nokuthumela okuphantse kube kusezantsi njengokungena kwakhe. Siya kumphendula sithini na lo? wabuza umphathi, “Akukho nto, madam; sathetha yonke into kwileta yethu yokuqala. Kukho abantu ekukuhle ukuba singabinanto sidibanisayo, hayi nobona budlelwane buncinci. Ngenxa yoko, ileta yalowo wayengenelele yatshiswa yaza yahlala ingaphendulwa.

Ekugqibeleni yafika imini ebalulekileyo, yaye, sele kuthiwe inyambalala yomlawuli, yonke into yayiminxeke kwingcwele, nkqu namanzi; Kuphela licala elimxinwa lesango elashiywa livuliwe. Kuthe kwakuvakala intsimbi yerhamente ukuba umngcelele uyaqhubeka, zeza iifusili ezimbini ezazithunywe ngumasipala ukuze zibize umninimzi ukuba makakhalise intsimbi.

(96-100)

intsimbi, njengoko kwakusenziwa kwenye indawo; ukwamkela umngcelele ongaphambili; waphendula wathi akazukwenza nto ngalo nto, ukuba intsimbi ayiyi kuba

ngokuqinisekileyo ayizange ivakale kuye. Aba badubuli babini baya kwenza ingxelo yabo, kwaye ngoko nangoko sibona usodolophu, umlawuli wenqila kunye nomongameli wesithili bebaleka, bobathathu benxibe izilingi. Baphinda umyalelo ofanayo kuye ovela kwiNdlu yoWiso-mthetho; wabaphendula ngokungafihlisiyo ukuba akaqondi kubo nakwiNdibano igunya lokumnika loo miyalelo, nokulawula nantoni na kumbandela wonqulo; ukuba ngeli nqanaba wayesazi ukuba kufuneka athobele bani, nokuba nantoni na abayenzayo, ukuba, kwicala lakhe, intsimbi ye-convent ayisayi kubhengeza ukungena kwabo ngokungekho mthethweni.

Kuthe kusenjalo kwadlula umngeneleli kunye nabancedisi bakhe ababini okanye abathathu.

njengoko babenako, kumnyango omncinane; baza emva koko baya ecaweni,  apho bacula khona imisa. Kungekudala icawa kunye nentendelezo yazala ngabo babetsalwe ngumdla. Umasipala ebona ukuba akukho  nto

ngethemba ekuqineni koonongendi, bathatha okomzuzwana baqhekeza  ucango loonongendi. Njengoko amandla ewodwa ayenokubanika eli lungelo,  a

Umkhandi wezitshixo wangeniswa ngobundlobongela: emva kokuzama, wabhengeza ukuba ngeenduku ezimbini zentsimbi akanakuzithembisa ukuba uza kuziqhekeza kwiiyure ezintathu. Sihlasela elinye lamasango kwaye asiphumeleli ngcono, nangona yayiyinkuni kuphela. Kungelo xesha apho kwakulula ukubona ukuba inzondelelo yempambano ikweliphi icala.

Ekuhlaleni yonke into yayivaliwe, kodwa kuthe cwaka. Oonongendi, bezimisele ukwenza nantoni na, bathi akukho nto bafanele bayincame, bazithandazela.

ngokwabo kunye nabo basebenza ukudiliza ucingo ngengqumbo yokwenyani kunye nobushushu. Yonke imigudu yabo ayizange ibe lilize, yaye ngeli xesha lo mcimbi umngeneleli wayishiya indlu yecawa waza wadlula nabantu bakhe kwiibrocade nakwiimpempe zabantu, engqina impumelelo elihlazo yohambo lwabo. UThixo uyayazi indlela ababethandaza ngayo nomasipala ngoko ngoonongendi kunye nam ngokukodwa! Bathethela phezulu kangangokuba injongo yabo yayingekho ngqiqweni, yaye ukuzinikela okunjalo akuzange kubonwe. Omnye wayengazi, ebona bonke beshiya icawa, ukuba ubuso babo bufanele bubangele ukuhleka, uloyiko okanye usizi, kwaye ndicinga ukuba oko kunokuvuselela zonke ezi mvakalelo ngaxeshanye.

Ukubaleka kwakhe.

Waphela ke lo mboniso ungaqhelekanga, ulihlazo nohlekisayo, apho ukungahloneli Thixo nomsindo kwakusilwela ukuphumelela ngokuchasene nobulungisa obulungileyo nokuhlutha ubumsulwa; kwaye phezu kwawo nje umsindo owabaphilisayo, bazibona benyanzelekile ukuba banikezele  ekuzinzeni okuqinileyo nokungashukumiyo kwentombazana ehlwempuzekileyo edinwe ngamandla kwaye ngokuqhelekileyo yempilo ebuthathaka kangangokuba inkalipho yayo yabonakala inkulu ngesi sihlandlo. Kuyinyaniso ukuba uThixo uyabanceda abantu bakhe, yaye, xa ethanda, ubanika amandla adla ngokuswela kubatshutshisi babo. Esi ayisosihlandlo sokuqala ukuba asebenzise isini  esibuthathaka

lihlaze ikratshi labo bangoozwilakhe. Ngaphandle kwazo zonke izixhobo ezisongelayo zoku kuqhayisa, bekuyinyani ukuthi oonongendi base-Urbanists kuphela abangazange bacenge, okanye bagrogrise, okanye zonke ezothutho zomsindo zingenako, naqondo okanye amandla. , ukufumana i-intshi enye yomhlaba. . Akusekho sizathu sokumangaliswa kukuba ukususela ngaloo ngokuhlwa kanye, nangeentsuku ezilandelayo, uluntu lwalurhangqwe yaye ngokungathi lurhangqwe ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo ngabo bonke abo umasipala wayekwazile ukubafaka phantsi kwezixhobo, ukuze babe .

ufile okanye uyaphila, lowo babemgqala njengoyena nobangela wenkani engako. Sade sagrogrisa ngokutshisa indlu, ukuba…. Kodwa, ukuze ndiqinisekise oonongendi, ndagqiba ekubeni ndiphume ebusuku, kwaye

ukuya, ngokuzifihla, kubahlobo abathile, apho ndandinokubhalela uluntu ndize ndifumane iileta ezithunyelwe kum. Kwakungekudala nje emva koMhla wokuNyuka kowe-1791 endathi ndanyanzeleka ukuba ndiyishiye le ndawo ndandikuyo.

sangena, njengoko sesibonile, ngoJulayi 17, 1790. Ukusasazwa koonongendi akuzange kwenzeke de kwango-Oktobha 27, 1792.

Ngelixa lokuhamba kwam bazicenga oonongendi, kwaye ndiyabathanda, ukuba kungekudala siza kuphinda sidibane, kuba kwakungenakwenzeka ukuba, ubundlobongela obunjalo bunokuhlala ixesha elide. Eli themba, noko, labathuthuzela kancinane. Kodwa kuDade woZalo, ngubani

akazange athethe nabani na ngaphandle koThixo ngala maxesha obunzima, weza waza wathi kum ngelizwi eliphantsi: “Bawo, musa ukukhohliswa yiyo: UThixo uyazi ukuba siya kuze siphinde sibonane. Ndiyavuma kuwe ukuba ndiyinqwenela ngakumbi kunokuba ndithemba; naso isiqalo, asisosiphelo, ngubani na onokuzikhohlisa ukuba asibone? Watsho erhoxa, elila.

Iindawo apho wayebhale khona, kumanqaku awayewathabathile, udliwano-ndlebe lukaDade.

Nje ukuba ndibe kwindawo ekhuselekileyo, ndazixakekisa ngokubhala amanqaku awayendinike wona ukutsala ukukruquka komhlala-phantsi wam; yaye kwakusebudeni beeveki zokuqala endathi ndafumana ileta evela kuMadame la Supérieure awathi uDade Wokuzalwa KukaYesu wandibhalela oku: “Bawo, musa ukumhenda uProvidence, zifihle kakuhle; kodwa kananjalo musani ukulahlekelwa

isibindi. UThixo undazise ukuba icebo elikhohlakeleyo elicetywe kuni aliyi kuphunyezwa. Kukho enye aya kuphumelelisa ngayo

(101-105)

amandla akho, kwaye aya kuthi ngenye imini afumane kuwo uzuko lwakhe; ngxamela ukufaka isandla kuyo; akuyi kubanjwa okanye ubanjwe, nangona bekufuna; sebenza kwi

ukhuseleko…” Ndafihlwa kangangeenyanga ezine emaphandleni, nabaninzi  eSaint-Malo, ngaphambi kokuba ndiye eJersey. Kuyo yonke indawo ndandiwagcina amanqaku am. Andizange ndivalelwe okanye ndibanjwe naphi na; Ndide ndangena kwiingozi ezingaqhelekanga emhlabeni naselwandle ngaphandle kwamashwa  .

Kodwa unokubona ukuba umnqweno wokuveza imbono yezi meko zahlukeneyo xa zizonke wandenza ndawalindela kwangaphambili amaxesha nezinto; Kubalulekile ke ngoko ukuba sibuyele ngoku kwinqanaba esilishiyileyo, kwaye siqale kwakhona ulandelelwano lweencoko kunye neengxelo ezimele ukuba zisixakekise.

Udliwano-ndlebe lwesibini kunye noDade.

Iintsuku ezisibhozo ezadlulayo ukususela kwintlanganiso yethu yokuqala zazinde kakhulu ukuba lo dade afumane uxolo lwengqondo; idemon yayiyazi indlela yokuthatha eli thuba ukuze yenze umzamo wokugqibela, ukuze ubuncinane iphose inkathazo emphefumlweni wakhe, ukuba ayinakuphumelela ukumenza atshintshe ingqondo yakhe kwaye anikezele isicwangciso sakhe. Ekugqibeleni yade yafika imini neyure apho wayeza kuba khona

bahlangulwe kwizilingo. Uza kum kwigumbi elincinane apho sasivumelene ukuba siqhubele iiseshoni zethu. Emva kokwenza umqondiso womnqamlezo, ebize igama elingcwele likaThixo kunye nezibane zoMoya oyiNgcwele, njengoko wayesoloko eziqhelisela, wathetha nam ngakumbi okanye ngaphantsi ngala magama:

Ukubhida kwakhe malunga neprojekthi yokubhala.

"Bawo, phambi kokuba ndingene kwiinkcukacha malunga nezinto ekufuneka ndikuxelele zona, kum kubonakala kubalulekile, kwaye kubaluleke kakhulu, ukuba ndazise ngokundehleleyo kwezi ntsuku zimbalwa zidlulileyo, kwaye yintoni eqhubekayo ngeli xesha. ngokumalunga neprojekthi esiyilwenzileyo, kwaye oku, ukuze ukwazi ukugweba yonke into endikhathazayo, kuba ndizimisele ukuba ndingenzi nantoni na, kwaye nokuba ndingavumi nto ngaphandle koko uya kuvuma, emva kokuba ngqo okanye ubuncinane. ulwazi olwaneleyo lokugqiba kakuhle. Kuba kunjalo, Bawo, kufuneka ndifune ukwazi intando yobuThixo, endiya kuthi, njengoko ndithembayo, ibonakalaliswe kum ngeyakho.

“Ngoko ke uya kwazi, Bawo, ukuba ngokukodwa ukususela mhla sayila iphulo lokubhala oko uThixo wandazisa kona, nokuba wawubonakala uboleke wena, ndazifumana ndichasene ngokungaqhelekanga ngesi sihlandlo: njengamaqela amabini alwayo, asemfazweni;

ngaphandle, rhoqo kakhulu, ndikwazi ukwazi ukuba yeyiphi kwezi zibini ziya kuphumelela. Kwelinye icala, uThixo uyandingcikiva ngenxa yokungathembeki kwam okudluleyo, izono zam ezingenakubalwa ezithe, mhlawumbi ngaphezu kwayo yonke imigibe yomtyholi, zabeka imiqobo endleleni yamayelenqe akhe amakhulu; kodwa wongezelela ukuba iimeko ziye zafika, ukuba

lifikile ixesha lokuba umsebenzi wakhe ubonakale phezu kwayo yonke imigudu yeentshaba zakhe naphezu kwayo yonke imiqobo endinokubeka apho ngokwam.

Undixelela ukuba isakhiwo esiphoswe lityala lam, akunjalo

yatshatyalaliswa de kwasala iziseko namatye esiseko kuphela, oko kukuthi, izinto zesakhiwo esitsha. Undinika ukuqonda ukuba isandla ekufuneka sisebenze apho sifunyenwe, kwaye undibongoza ngokunyanisekileyo ukuba ndiwasebenzise ngaphandle kokuchitha nomzuzu omnye, kuba onke mafutshane kwaye axabiseke kakhulu.

“Kwelinye icala, Bawo, ndiva elinye igunya, uluvo endikholelwa ngalo kumtyholi, owenza yonke imizamo yakhe ukwenza eli shishini lisilele kwakhona. Usoloko ephinda kum ukuba ndiphantsi kwenkohliso, nokuba likratshi lam elindikhohlisayo lize lindimfamekise; endiyithathela impefumlelo esibhakabhakeni, nto leyo esisiphumo sentelekelelo kuphela

ukutshisa, kunye nengqondo ephazamisekile kwaye iphakanyiswe yimiphunga yekratshi eliyimfihlo, kwaye eligqunywe ngokuzinikela kobuxoki; ukuba ndithethe uThixo apho angathethiyo uThixo

Andithethi, kwaye ndiyakholelwa ukuba ndiyamthobela, ngelixa ndithobela nje intelekelelo yempambano. Undenza ndiqonde ukuba ndisahamba, njengakwixa elidlulileyo, ukuze ndizihlekise nto leyo eya kugqiba ukundigquma ngokubhideka ngokukhumbula zonke iintsizi endandisele ndinazo. Undizobela ngokucacileyo iingozi endizichanaba kuzo, namashwa endiya kuwenza eCaweni: ukuba iNdlu yoWiso-mthetho inolwazi lwalo msebenzi, njengoko ingayi kusilela ukwenzeka, uyandiva; uya kutshiswa ephila, yaye lowo ukuvumayo uya kuba lixhoba; nithi, emveni kokuba nimenzele oko, wophendula ngenxa yokufa kwakhe, nangenxa yobuninzi bababingeleli abaya kuthwalela bona; lonke uluntu luya kutshatyalaliswa ngenxa yakho, njl. njl.

Ah! Bawo, ngubani onokuthi le mibono yokubulala indenze ndabandezeleka! Kodwa akuphelelanga apho: undingcungcuthekisa ngakumbi, ukuba umntu unokutsho njalo, ngengozi engenakuphepheka apho athi, Ndiwubhenca umphefumlo wam nosindiso lwam. Kuyasongela, ukuba ndiphumeza uyilo lwam, ukuba ukufa kwam kuyasondela

iya kuphazamiseka ngama-specters, njengoko sele kwenzekile kum, kwisifo esikhulu esanciphisa, kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, ukuya ekupheleni kokugqibela; ukuba ezi ziganeko ziya kundibangela ndiphelelwe lithemba; kwaye, njengomvuzo wobunye bam, idemon iyayibamba

(106-110)

uya kuwuthabatha emphefumlweni wam ndiwuphose esihogweni kunye nabo bonke abanekratshi nabahanahanisi. Wathi kum, esi sisiphelo esingonwabisiyo nesibuhlungu sabo bonke abo bathi, njengani, bazibone belandela ukuthanda kukaThixo, xa bengathobeli.

kodwa ngenxa yeminqweno yabo: abanye basindiswa ngentobelo; kodwa, ngenxa yakho, uya kulahlekelwa ngokwakho ngokuthobela izibane zakho ozenzileyo, eziziinkohliso kuphela kunye nemigibe kumlawuli wakho ngokunjalo nakuwe. Nobabini niya kohlwaywa ngokukrakra ngenxa yoko ngonaphakade.

"Lo mzabalazo woyikekayo, osele uqhubeka ixesha elide, uya usiba nenkani yonke imihla, kwaye kubonakala ngathi, ngalo mzuzu, ukubhengeza uloyiso olupheleleyo kwiqela elinye okanye elinye. Ziiintshaba ezimbini ezibambeneyo kwaye akukho namnye kubo obonakala ebophelelekile de kube semva kwesibetho esigqibeleleyo, endisiva isandulela esothusayo. Kaninzi, Bawo, iingxoxo zabo ziye zandibeka kwimeko elusizi. Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ingqondo yam yayiphazamisekile, iphazamisekile kakhulu, kangangokuba ndachitha ikota yesithathu yeyure

i-pre-kwayara, ngaphandle kokukwazi ukuphakama. Ndandingasenawo amandla okanye inkalipho; iingqondo zam zaphazamiseka kukungcangcazela okukhulu. Ndingcangcazela kwaye ecaleni kwam, andizange ndazi ukuba mandenze ntoni xa ndiziva ndiphefumlelwe ukuba ndiguqukele kubutyebi bam obuqhelekileyo. Ndiye ndabuyela kuThixo

ukuzithemba, ndamcenga ukuba abe nosizi kum, aphelise ukuxhalaba kwam neenkathazo zam, kwaye ngaphezu kwako konke angavumeli ilahleko yam yanaphakade naliphi na ilishwa elindoyike kangaka. Ngokuba ndithe kuye, Thixo wam, Uyazi wena ukuba ndiyathanda, ndifuna yona intando yakho yodwa.... Ngoko, bawo,

Ndeva emazantsi omphefumlo wam ilizwi lisithi kum ngokucace kakhulu: Hey! ntombi yam, awuboni ukuba ngusathana osoloko edlala indima yakhe qha efuna ukuchasa amacebo am? Akuyomfuneko ukuba uphelelwe yintliziyo ngenxa yoko. Thembela nje lowo uthetha nawe, kwaye uya kubona ngokukhawuleza ukuba yeyiphi kwezi zibini iza kuphumelela. Unendlela enye kuphela elula yokumelana nohlaselo lolu tshaba loyikekayo, kukuthobela iCawe yam. Hamba, ke ngoko, umazise ngemeko yakho umalathisi endimthuma kuwe, oya kuthetha kuwe egameni lam; wozipheza iingxakeko ongenakuphuma kuzo kuwe; lithobe ilizwi lakhe, uthabathe, ungalibazisi, ukuba athe wanibonisa yona ngenxa yam.

Ngoko ke ndithetha nawe ngoku, Bawo; kwaye kwaba kanye, njengoko nibonayo, ngokomyalelo kaThixo, ndaqala ngokunazisa imeko yangoku yomphefumlo wam, ngokunicacisela umlo onzima omphumo wawo waba yintuthuzelo nolonwabo olukhulu. kuba kunqabile ukuba amazwi okugqibela athethwe kunokuba ezona nzolo zinzulu ziphumelele esona sivuthuvuthu sinomsindo: inkathazo yengqondo yam yanyamalala, kwaye ndeva elona themba limnandi liphuma entliziyweni yam. Kwakhona, Bawo, kuxhomekeke kuwe ngoku ukuba undixelele oko ucinga ngako phambi koThixo, ukuze ndihambelane nayo ngeyona ntobelo igqibeleleyo nangobubele bonke endafungayo kuwe ngobomi  .  »

Impendulo ayinikwayo kwaye iyamqinisekisa.

Ukwanelisa ulindelo lwakho, ndamphendula ndathi, ndiza kuqala ngomgaqo ongenakuphikiswa, oya kuba lula ukuwusebenzisa kuwe….. Umpostile uYohane oNgcwele uyasilumkisa ukuba singakholelwa kuyo yonke into ebonakala iphefumlelwe, kodwa sihlolisise ngenyameko ukuba ngaba oku impefumlelo ivela kuThixo okanye

womnye umgaqo: Probate spiritus si ex Deo sint. (I. Ep. Isahluko 4, v-1.) Heyi! ningathini na ukukholelwa kwiimpefumlelo ezilwa zitshabalalisane, njengazo nidibana nazo! Ke ngoko kukho ukhetho ekufuneka lwenziwe: Nolite omni spiritui credere.

Kodwa, uya kundibuza, zithini ke ngoko, kolu hlobo, iimpawu ezithile zobuThixo? Ngobuphi ubungqina obungenakuphikiswa endinokuthi ndazi ukuba elo cebiso livela kuThixo okanye livela kumtyholi? Kukho inani elikhulu kakhulu labo, Dade wam othandekayo; kodwa ke ndiya kuzibophelela kokuphela kwento enye, athe lo mpostile mnye ayibonisayo ngokukodwa, endikholwa yiyo, eya kusanela. Ndiphulaphule ngenyameko, ntombi yam: olu phawu lungenasiphoso kukuba, ungathandabuzi.

ukunamathela ngokungenakophulwa nokuthobela ngokumfamekileyo umntu kaJ.-C., kwilizwi likaJ.-C., kwiCawa kaJ. yile nto umtyholi akanako ukuyixelisa, into ade ayoyike ngayo ukwenza umgunyathi; kwaye, ngenxa yoko, nantsi ngamagama amathathu ilitye lokuvavanya lokwenyani lokwahlula inyaniso kwimpazamo, kunye nempembelelo eyinyani kwinto enenkangeleko yayo kuphela.

Ngaloo ndlela, naliphi na icebiso, okanye impefumlelo eyenziwe ngathi, ebiya kungqubana nothando esinalo ngomntu kaJ. yayithatyathwe kwiincwadi ezingcwele; naliphi na icebiso elinokuthi lisenze siphikisane ngandlel’ ithile nemithetho nezigqibo zeBandla lokwenyaniso, ukusikhulula kwidyokhwe yokuthobela kwalo, yaye ngaphezu kwako konke ukusenza saphule ubunye bokholo... ngokukhetha kulo. Uluvo lwethu oluthile kwabanye ukuba bekunjalo… phila

ndeyisela, Dade wam othandekayo, ukuba yimpazamo emsulwa enokuvela kuphela kubawo wobuxoki.

(111-115)

Ngokwemvelo, yonke into elolo hlobo ichasa uzuko lukaThixo, nokuba yinguquko yaboni; nantoni na ebeka imiqobo endleleni yoxolo, ubungcwele kunye nosindiso lwemiphefumlo, nantoni na esizisa engxakini, ukungathembi okanye ukuphelelwa lithemba, ayinakuba ngumsebenzi kaThixo

inyaniso, uxolo nenceba, kodwa eneneni leyo yengelosi yobumnyama eyathi, phezu kwazo nje iinkohliso ezithi ngamanye amaxesha imguqule abe sisithunywa sokukhanya, nangona kunjalo ithwala inkathazo yakhe nesihogo sayo naphi na apho izifumana ikuyo.

Indlela yokwahlula umoya kaThixo kumoya kaMtyholi.

Ukuyiqonda kakuhle le nto, Dade wam, khumbula apha into endayithetha koonongendi, ngethuba lokurhoxa kwabo, ngomahluko weenjongo ezidla ngokuphazamisa izazela ezingcangcazelayo; ukwazi, ndathi, ukuba kunjalo

umoya kaThixo okanye lowo wedemon othi ke ukhathaze iingqondo zethu, kufuneka sibone ukuba ingxaki esiyifumanayo iphelela phi na; ngokuba akukho nto ilungileyo, iqinisekileyo, okanye isemvelweni, kunokuba ugwebe ityala ngesiphumo salo, njengoko umntu egweba ihlumelo eliphezu komlambo, nomthi ngeziqhamo zawo. NguJ.-C. osinika lo mgaqo ungenakuphoswa.

Ingxaki evela kuThixo ivuselela ukuthembela kuye

inceba, ekubetheni kwakhe ngokoyikeka kwemigwebo yakhe; kanti ingxaki evela kumtyholi isishiya sinoloyiko kuphela

ubukhoboka kuphela, nto leyo ekhokelela ekungathembani nasekuphelelweni lithemba. Kanti ke kukuthi, uThixo uyabetha, asindise; liyabetha liphilise; uthoba, aphakamise; ududuma, angadudumi; kanti idemon ilimaza ize ingaphili; yiwa phantsi, ungabuyi uvuke. Ngelizwi, uThixo usebenza isohlwayo sikaDavide, uPetros, uMagadala, uAugustine, kwaye idemon isebenza isohlwayo sikaKayin, uAntiochus noYudas. Njengoko umzekeliso umkhulu kakhulu, unakho, Dade wam, ukusebenzisa konke oku kwimeko ozifumana ukuyo, kwaye ugwebe ngokuthelekisa. Injongo yayo yonke inkuthazo ihlala ifumanisa umgaqo wayo; yaye ukuba siyayinikela ingqalelo, ngokuqinisekileyo sibona apho ivela khona, ngokuqwalasela apho iya khona. A fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos. Ngemalini

Ngaba besingenakuwusebenzisa lo mgaqo othi ubulumko obubalaseleyo busixelela eminye imibandela?

“Bawo,” watsho engenelela uDade owayethe cwaka, “Tata, ah! enjani yona imitha yokukhanya!… icacile. Nceda, ngaphambi kokuba uqhubele phambili kunye nokhuseleko lwam olukhulu, kufuneka undivumele ukuba ndenze uqwalaselo apha oluya kukunika ithuba lokundinceda ndisebenzise umgaqo wakho kwimeko endizifumana ndikuyo; esi sicelo siya kuqonda ngoko nangoko phakathi kwezi zimbini

imimoya ebonakala iyandikhuthaza, kwaye iya kubonisa apho ibhalansi kufuneka ikhuphe khona.

“Omnye kwaba babini bandikhokelela ekubeni ndiyeke iprojekthi yethu ebesoloko ekrokrela kum kwicala lokholo, kwaye ebesoloko endicebisa ngeembono endizifunayo.

babeyichasile ngokupheleleyo; umzekelo, amathandabuzo malunga neeMfihlakalo zethu eziNgcwele. Uhleli ezalise ingqondo yam ngeenkathazo kunye neentsizi, amaxhala, izilingo kunye nobumnyama. Ebesoloko eshiya ukungazinzi entliziyweni yam, iminqweno engenamsebenzi eyamhlukanisa noThixo, kunye neentlungu ezinzulu zomphefumlo wam, usizi, intshabalalo kunye nokudimazeka.

Ngokwahlukileyo koko, umoya ondikhokelela ekubeni ndilandele icebiso lakho ngumoya ondikhanyiselayo, ondithuthuzelayo nondiqinisekisayo kumathandabuzo endinawo nakwiintlungu zam. Ushiya emphefumlweni wam uxolo, ukuzola, ukuzithemba; Ubhadlile, ngokuqhwanyaza kweliso, isithokothoko esaluphosa apho utshaba lwakhe, kwaye umphefumlo wam ke ngoko ube njengemini entle emva kobusuku obumnyama noluqhwithela. Omnye wemimoya emibini uhlala undikhuthaza ngokuzithemba okuthobekileyo; elinye ngamanye amaxesha licebisa kum ukucinga ngekratshi, emva kwayo yonke imizobo yokudimazeka. Apha, Bawo, luphawu lwezi mpikiswano, ezithi, ngokutsho kwam, zityhile ngokungenasiphoso ubuqhophololo bomoya wobuxoki; Undihlasele izihlandlo eziliwaka ngeendlela ezichaseneyo neziphikisanayo; niya kugweba.

“Ngolunye lwezi ntsuku, emva kokuba endithuthumbise ngokumasikizi ngokundimela, njengoko ndanditshilo, iingozi endandiza kuzibhenca kuzo ngokuba nomntu obhalayo, wandenza ndalugqala usindiso lwam njengento engenakwenzeka, nokulahlwa kwam njengento engenakuthintelwa. . Ukumamela yena, zonke iinzame zam zaba lilize, ububi bam abuzange bulungiswe, izono zam azinakuxolelwa, kunye nokulahlekelwa kwam ngonaphakade kubanjiwe kwimimiselo engunaphakade yobulungisa bobuthixo…. Ukudinwa, ngokungathandabuzekiyo, ngokwakhe ngolu hlobo lohlaselo, ekubonakala ukuba aluzange luphumelele

njengoko ebeya kuthanda, wandihenda ngekratshi nangokuzicingela, lowo, kwimizuzu embalwa ngaphambilana, wayefuna ukundilahla ekuphelelweni lithemba. Enzonzobileni yelabafileyo, apho wandibeka khona, Ngelinge lokundinyusela encotsheni yezulu;

ukudlula ukusuka kwelinye icala ukuya kwelinye icala.

“Ngoko wacebisa kum, kwaye oku kwenzeka ngaphezu kwesihlandlo esinye, ukuba ndiza kudlulela kwenye iSaint Thérèse; ukuba

(116-120)

UThixo undibabale ngaphezu kwakhe nabani na; ukuba, ngokunyaniseka kwam elubabalweni, ndafikelela kwinqanaba lokufaneleka ekungekho mzekelo walo wakha wabonwa, nokuba ngokwam ngokwam ndandinokuthi ndiqhubele phambili ngakumbi. Ukuba bendifuna ukukholwa nguye, ngendinyuse ngaphezu kwabapostile, namangqina, neentombi, nakubo bonke abangcwele bamazulu nomhlaba; Andazi nokuba nguye na

ngengazange athwale uburhalarhume ngokokude andibeke ngaphezu kukanina kaJ.-C.; noko ngebe sihambe kunye…. Okuqinisekileyo kukuba wandinika ukuqonda ukuba emva kokuba ethethe izinto ezintle ngolo hlobo ethanda iCawa, yayingayi kusilela ukuba nombulelo ngayo; ukuba ndiya kugqalwa njengongcwele; ukuba iintsalela zam ngenye imini ziya kubekwa phezu kwezibingelelo ezakhelwe ukuhlonipha inkumbulo yam, kwaye, ukuba konke oku ndingakufanelekela ngamandla am, mna, iyure engaphambili, kwafuneka nditshiswe ndiphila, ndize ndigwetywe ngokugqith’ emgceni kwam, kwaye ibangele awona mashwangusha eCaweni nakuRhulumente…. Izulu elihle! singaziphikisa  ukuba

ekuhleni nangoburhalarhume obunjalo!

“Owu! kuba kanye, Bawo, umgibe wawubekwe ngokukrwada kakhulu ukuba ubanjwe; ngoko andizange ndikhohliswe. Idemon engonwabanga, ndakhala, ewe, nguwe! ewe, nguwe! Ndiyakubona ngokuphikisana kwakho, ulwimi lwakho olungenamsebenzi kunye nokunganyaniseki kwakho. Nguwe! kodwa ndinilahla ngonaphakade, kwaye ndifuna kuphela ukulandela umthetho kaThixo wam nokuthobela iBandla lakhe; ukurhoxa, kwaye nakwisiphithiphithi nentiyo. Ngoko ke, Bawo, yonke into yathi shwaka, ndaza ndathula noko kangangexesha elithile. »

Kungoko ke, ntombi yam, ndaphendula ndathi, olu tshaba lunobuqhophololo lwakwenza ukuba udlule ngokulandelelanayo ukusuka kwiPelagianism ukuya kwiJansenism, kwaye ukusuka kwiJansenism ukuya kwiPelagianism, amahlelo amabini agwetywa ngokulinganayo yiCawa, ngeZibhalo nangengqiqo elungileyo. Inyaniso ihlala ibambe intsingiselo yegolide phakathi kwazo zonke izinto ezigqithisiweyo; akafuni kuwa nokuba ngasekunene okanye ngasekhohlo, kananjalo ubaleka konke ukuxhaphaza. IZibhalo Ezingcwele zisixelela ukuba inceba ye

UThixo uloyisa ubulungisa bakhe; ukuba akakufuni ukufa komoni, kodwa ukuguquka kwakhe nobomi bakhe; ukuba usoloko ekulungele ukumamkela nokumxolela…. Ngoko, akukho kuphelelwa lithemba. ICawe iyaqonda ukuba ngokohlelo losindiso asinakwenza nto ngaphandle kobabalo, kodwa ngobabalo sinako ukwenza yonke into; Kungoko ke kusithiwa sikuphephe ngokulinganayo ukungaluthembi ubabalo, nokukholosa ngamandla ethu, kufuneka simanyanise uloyiko kunye nethemba, ukuze siwufezekise  ngokuqinisekileyo umcimbi omkhulu wosindiso lwethu; cum metu kunye nokungcangcazela ; ukuba asinanto singenayo kuThixo yaye akuyomfuneko ukuba siyibuyisele kuye.

" Intoni! Bawo, wakhuza uSister apha, kungenzeka ukuba ndibe ndingumahluko? Ndimphendule, hayi, ntombi yam;

owayengumhendi. Ndiyakuqinisekisa ukuba awuzange ungene kuyo ngaphandle kokulwa. Ewe, yayiyintshaba yakho eyathi, njengeProteus, yaba ngamanye amaxesha iJansenist kwaye ngamanye amaxesha iPelagian, kodwa ihlala inenkohliso kwaye ikhohlakele, ngokwendawo yakhe; ngokuba, udade wethu, sele kulithuba elide ukususela, ukuze asihende, udlala iindima rhoqo ngokuchaseneyo omnye komnye njengoko kunjalo.

sikuzo zonke iimfuno zethu zokwenyani. Uhlala ezifumana enyanzelekile ukuba asebenzise amaqhinga akrwada kakhulu, kwimigibe egqunywe kakubi; ukuba thina

Maxa wambi uthe wafumanisa ukuba, ukuba kuthe kwabakho ngaphezu kwako konke, ukuba useminathanjeni yakhe, wemka eneentloni; kwaye ukuze azithuthuzele, uqamba iindlela ezintsha ezihlala zimbuyekeza ngokuswela kwakhe impumelelo. Ngapha koko, ibaluleke ngantoni kuye njani? Ngaphandle kokuba ekugqibeleni uyaphumelela ekusikhohliseni kwingongoma ebalulekileyo, mhlawumbi ngokuseyisela ebubuxoki, okanye ngokusifihlela into ecacileyo, okanye ngokusimfamekisa kwizilangazelelo zethu, okanye, ekugqibeleni, ngokusenza sithabathe usindiso lwethu. , nayo iya kube iyifezile injongo yayo.

Ewe, Sister wam, ungayithandabuzi loo nto, ewe, le ndlela idemoni ithanda ngayo ukubhida yonke into, ukuze isenze sithathe indawo engafanelekanga kuyo yonke into; yaye ukuba ubani uyalishiya okomzuzwana igunya elingenasiphoso lenkundla uJ.-C. awamisela kwiCawa yakhe ukuba iyilawule, ngokuyimfuneko ubani umele ajikwe ngapha nangapha ziimbono ezingavakaliyo azimisele endaweni yayo. Ulahlekisa abantu bonqulo ngonqulo olulilize nolungenangqiqo, ngonqulo lobuxoki noluqondwa phosakeleyo; kwaye ulahlekisa abantu behlabathi ngemigaqo efanelekileyo, njengokuba intle ngaphakathi

imbonakalo yokuba zichasene nemithetho yeVangeli kunye nemigaqo ka-J.-C. Owu amandla omoya wemposiso kwaye alele phezu kweengqondo zabantu abafayo ababuthathaka! kulula ukuyibona loo ndoda, ekubeni umntu unokuyenza ngaloo ndlela

ungayihoyi into ecacileyo! Hayi indlela, emva koko, anokuba nacinga ngayo ikratshi!

“Oko kwanele ukusithob’ isidima, ngokungathandabuzekiyo,” waphinda watsho uDade; kodwa, Bawo, ndivumele ndibonise: kubonakala ukuba uzimisele kakhulu ukuvuma impembelelo yemimoya, elungileyo okanye embi, kwiingqondo kunye nezenzo zabantu. Ndicinga njengawe kuko konke oku, kwaye ndingatsho ukuba ndinezizathu eziqinileyo; kodwa ungayifumana

(121-125)

abantu abakrelekrele abangayi kuba noluvo lwakho, kwaye abangayi kuba nobunzima ekuchazeni yonke into ethethwayo ngayo kunye nayo yonke into esiyithethayo ngayo, nokuba yintelekelelo, okanye kumgaqo-siseko wenyama, okanye nasiphi na esinye isizathu.

ngokwendalo…”

Oko kukuthi, Dadewethu, aba bantu bahlakaniphileyo baya kuthetha ngesiphumo ngaphandle kokubuyela kwisizathu, njengendoda ezenza ngathi ichaza umkhuhlane ngokuxhaphazwa kwegazi; kodwa wayesoloko ebuzwa ukuba ngubani

ngubani oxhokonxa igazi? Nantsi ke ingongoma: Ndikholelwe, Dade, umntu unokuba nobulumko obuninzi ngaphandle kokuba nengqiqo eninzi, kwaye omnye unokuba nazo zombini, nangona engenalo ngokupheleleyo ulwazi oluyimfuneko ukuze enze isigqibo esifanelekileyo, ngakumbi kwezi ntlobo zezifundo.

Ngaphandle koko, Dade wam, abantu abakrelekrele ngokungathandabuzekiyo baya kuba nendlela yabo eqhelekileyo yokubona nokucinga ngaphezulu kwesiqhelo; kodwa thina

ndiya kuvumela, ndiyathemba, ukuba nayo neyethu, esekelwe, kungekuphela kooyise noogqirha beBandla, kodwa kulo lonke ilizwi likaThixo, ngokukodwa kwiVangeli, apho sibona kwiphepha ngalinye amandla UThixo unika iidemon, kungekhona phezu kwemimoya kuphela, kodwa naphezu kwemizimba.

“Ndicela uxolo ngokukumisa ithuba elide kangaka kulo mbuzo, uthi lo dade kum apha: Ngaba ngoku, Bawo, ungakuthabatha na oko ukuthethayo kum ukuze ube yimfundiso yam, ndikufundise.

ukuzola? Ndiya kuqhubeka ndikumamela ngayo yonke ingqalelo endikwaziyo ukuyenza. »

Akuyi kuba nzima ukubuyela kule nto, ekubeni ndicebise kuphela ukwenza iingxaki zakho zinyamalale, ngokukubonisa imigibe kunye neenkohliso ezibangelwa ngumtyholi, kwaye le nto siye sazama ukuyenza de 'apha; ke ngoko kungumbandela wokuqhubeka ixeshana. Umtyholi ukutyhola ngokuyekelela kwizimvo zakho, kwaye uzifunele ngokwakho, apho athi ubonisa into athanda ukuyibiza ngokuba kukukhohlisa ukuzithemba kwakho, okanye kwintelekelelo yentelekelelo yakho; kodwa ngokukhawuleza xa ucinga ngako, unokubona ngokucacileyo ukuba uyaphazama, okanye kunoko ufuna ukukukhohlisa. Le nkohliso yokuzithanda ngokungathandabuzekiyo ibiya kwenzeka ukuba, ngokweengcamango zakho, uzinxulumanisa nawe oko uThixo akubeke kuwe kuphela ngenxa yozuko lwakhe; kodwa funa ukugqobhoza iindlela zakhe ngokuchanekileyo ukuze wazi kwaye ulandele intando yakhe, ngumsebenzi wakho, ngentlonipho efanelekileyo kuye; nokufuna ukulenza libe lulwaphulo-mthetho kuwe kuya kuba, phantsi kwentlungu yesigwebo, ukukwalela ukuba ucamngce ngomthetho kaThixo nangenyaniso engunaphakade, nangona kunjalo equlathe inzululwazi yosindiso. Bubuphi ububhanxa obabunemvukelo ngakumbi? Ingazalelwa phi na, ingenguye uyise wobuxoki, kumoya wolahlekiso, omsebenzi wakhe mnye kukulwa inyaniso, ukuba siwole  umoya wayo?

Wothi kuni, ukuba akenzanga njalo, ukuba uThixo ebefuna ukubonakalisa ukuthanda kwakhe okungcwele ebantwini, nokubatyhilela imimiselo yakhe ngekamva, bekungayi kuba luncedo kuwe intombazana ehlwempuzekileyo njengawe. Kodwa

Akukho nto inokububuxoki njengobu bungqina, buphikiswa yiminyaka engaphezu kwamawaka amahlanu yamava. UThixo ubesoloko esebenzisa ezona zixhobo zibuthathaka

ukuba enze ezona zinto zinkulu, ukuze ubuqaqawuli bakhe bubengezelele ngakumbi, abonakale eyedwa engumqambi womsebenzi awayenekhwele ngawo. Ngale nto, abo bangakholelwayo kuwo onke amaxesha baye banyanzeleka ukuba bamqonde kwimisebenzi yakhe, baze babalele kuye uzuko lwayo: Digitus Dei est hic . ( Eks. 8, 19. )

Xa ubani ebona, ngokomzekelo, abalishumi elinesibini bengazi nto, bengamahlwempu nabangenalo lonke uncedo lwabantu, besenza uJ. ? Indlela yokungaqapheli ingalo kaSomandla! Kwaye akunjalo,

Phakathi kwezinye izinto, yintoni eyabangela ukuba mangaliswe ngabagwebi bakaS. Peter noS. Yohane, abaphilise isiqhwala kumnyango wetempile yaseYerusalem? Babengayiqondi indlela awayethetha aze enze ngayo loo madoda ngolwazi, inkalipho nenkululeko: Videntes autem Petri constantiam et Joannis, comperto qubd homines esent sine litteris, et idiotœ admirabuntu. ( IZenzo 4, 13 )

“Oku kumela, Bawo, idemon indenze izihlandlo ezininzi,” waphinda wamphazamisa uDade; kodwa kwaoko, iNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu yandenzela ububele, yandibonisa kanye, kwaaloo mpendulo nindinike yona; wade wandixelela ngenye imini ukuba yonke into ebisenzeka kum ayiveli kum; ukuba ndingene ngelize; ukuba phantse ndandingenanxaxheba kuyo, okanye ubuncinane ndandisisixhobo esibuthathaka ezandleni zakhe; ukuze ukhanyiselo awandinika lona, ​​lube lolwam; kwaye kungcono ukuba ndicinezele ikratshi lam, wongezelela (ah! Bawo wam, mna

(126-130)

ngcangcazela kwakhona!), wongeze ngelithi kuyenzeka ukuba ngenye imini ndigwetywe, kwaye oko bekungayi kumthintela ekutsaleni uzuko lwakhe kuyo…. Kodwa qhubeka, nceda…. Ndaye ndaqhubeka.

Umtyholi uya kukuxelela, ukuba akakakwenzi oko, ukuba ubungqina bokuba uyaphazama kukuba iprojekthi yakho yayisele yasilela, nto leyo ngengazange yenzeke ukuba uThixo wayengenelele kuyo; kodwa le ngcinga yobuxoki isangqina ukuba yena ngokwakhe ulahlekile, ekubeni ngenxa yenkululeko yabo akukho nto ixhaphakileyo kunokuba babone abantu bebekwe, ngokwemikhwa yabo emibi;

umqobo kwiinceba nakuzo zonke iintsikelelo zezulu; kwaye le yinyaniso esingqina ngayo kuphela ngaphakathi kwethu. Ewe, Dade, kunjalo

kubalulekile kumsebenzi kaThixo ukuba uchaswe, kwaye izono zabantu bezisoloko zikwenza oko ngempumelelo enkulu, ngaphandle kokuba uThixo wathanda ngokupheleleyo ukoyisa phezu kwabo; kuba akukho nto iyichasayo ingcwele yakhe; uya kuthi ke ukuba enze izithintelo, ukuze ade afikelele esiphelweni icebo lakhe, ukuba ayitshabalalise into leyo ngokwenzeka kwayo, nokuba yingqushu, ngenxa yoko, nezono abantu ngabo. inkanuko enkulu awabazalayo; kodwa akasoloko esenza ngolo hlobo, ubani unokude atsho ngenkalipho ukuba le hambo ayikho kulandelelwano oluqhelekileyo loBulungiseleli alawula ngalo indalo iphela.

Bahlala ke abantu bakaThixo iminyaka emashumi mane entlango, eyaba lingcwaba labo. Ngaba isithembiso sikaMoses sasithandabuzeka, nomsebenzi wakhe wawungaqinisekanga? Hayi akunjalo; kodwa abantu babemamele, kwaye isiphoso sabo sasithintele umphumo. Kuyafana nangezinye iziganeko eziliwaka; umzekelo, kwakhona, i

Iimfazwe zomnqamlezo azizange ziphumelele njengoko umntu ebenokunqwenela? ingaba yayilityala likaS. Louis okanye likaS. Bernard? Ngentlonelo enzulu kubabhali abakwaziyo kuphela ukugxeka abenzi bemimangaliso nabaxhasi bokholo, ubani akanakuthetha ngolo hlobo ngabokuqala engenzanga nto isidima sakhe kwiitalente zakhe zasemkhosini; waza owesibini wangqina uthumo lwakhe ngezimanga ezavala imilomo yabachasi bakhe (1). Ngoko ke, ifanele ibe ngabani? Kumkhosi wamajoni, owaziphatha kakubi, kwaye akazange agcine imiqathango echazwe ngu-abbot

Clervaux, kwaye akazange nangayiphi na indlela awulandele umzekelo awunikwe ngoyena kumkani ukhaliphileyo nobalaseleyo. Ngaloo ndlela ubungendawo babantu budla ngokuwaphuthisa onke amacebo enceba kaYehova. Mingaphi imiphefumlo egwetyiweyo yonke imihla, awathi uJ.-C. waliphalaza lonke igazi lakhe ngenxa yabo! Apho  sinokugqiba kwelokuba impumelelo engentle yeprojekthi yethu ayibobungqina bubambekayo bokuba ayiphumi kuThixo  .

Masize ngoku Dadewethu kweli themba loyikekayo likwenze wangcangcazela kakhulu, elingayekiyo ukulibeka phambi kwamehlo akho.

(1) Ababhali-mbali banikela ingxelo yokuba, ekuphenduleni kwabo babemgxeka, uSaint Bernard, ebeke isandla sakhe phezu kwentloko yendoda ezelwe eyimfama, wathandaza ngokuvakalayo kuThixo ukuba abuyisele ukubona kwakhe, ukuba kuyinyaniso ukuba ngumyalelo wakhe. wayeyishumayele i-crusade;  yaza indoda eyimfama yakhanyiselwa phambi kwabantu abaninzi ababengasenawo nawaphi na amathandabuzo. Oku ngokwenene kwanele ukucenga bonke abo banokuchaphazeleka kuko. (Jonga iBercastel, iMfazwe yoMnqamlezo yokugqibela.  )

yoyikisa. Ukuba, ngelishwa, uyakuxelela, uphumelele ukwenza iimbono zakho zibonakale zingaqhelekanga kwaye zimnandi, uya kubangela ukuphazamiseka okukhulu eCaweni,

yaye kuRhulumente intshutshiso ephalala igazi. Ukubulawa kwababingeleli noonongendi, iitempile zatshatyalaliswa zaza zangcoliswa…., igama elingcwele likaThixo

unyelisekile…., bububi obunjani! Ndiyavuma, Dade, bayoyikeka; kodwa lowo uzibhengezayo apha ukrokreleka kakhulu ukuba simkholelwe  kwilizwi lakhe, kwaye silifumene kakuhle kakhulu ilungelo lokumcela umngeni. Akukho nto inobuxoki ngaphezu kokuqiqa asisebenzisayo ukubonisa igunya lakhe…. ngenxa yokuba, ekugqibeleni, phantsi kwesi sizathu esihle, bekuya kufuneka ukuba  amadoda

Abathunywa bakaThixo bebengathethanga egameni lakhe, nabapostile bebengathethanga egameni lakhe; kuba babengazibhencanga ntoni na ngokuyibhengeza? Yintoni awathi uMoses, uEliya, nabo bonke abaprofeti abazibhenca kuyo? Into abangazibhenca ngayo abavangeli basemazweni abangcwele nabafeli-nkolo abathi, kumthetho omtsha, bahamba emanyathelweni azukileyo abapostile? Ngaba babenokukwenza oko ngaphandle kokuba bavuse ingqumbo yabalawuli abangoozwilakhe, abazisongelo zabo ababeyazi indlela yokuchasa, nangaphandle kokubangela iintshutshiso eziphalaz’ igazi nxamnye neCawa, neCawa isekwisiqalo sayo? Bakholwa, ngaphandle kokulibazisa, ukuba ummiselo kaThixo ufanele ukoyise zonke ezi ngcinga zabantu; ukuba xa uThixo efuna sithethe, nguye yedwa onyamekela izinto eziphazamisayo azibonileyo kusengaphambili, yaye akukho namnye onengqiqo, ubuncinane endimaziyo, osele ecinga ngokuwenza aphendule ngazo  .

Ayiyiyo idemon yodwa ebambe olu lwimi lukrokrisayo, ineechoes ezininzi eziphinda emva kwayo…. Kwaye qaphela, Dade wam, yintoni inkohliso yabantu abaninzi behlabathi malunga nale nto: ejwayele ukugweba kuphela ngobudlelwane beemvakalelo, ukubona, kuyo yonke into kwaye kuyo yonke indawo, kuphela iindlela zomntu kunye nezinto ezinomdla , phantse zingazange ziye phezulu, bona. ngokulula ukulandela

uloyiko namathemba oluntu, kwaye anxulumanise nomntu kuphela oko kufanele kunxulumane noThixo kuphela. Ungatsho

(131-135)

ukuba unqulo alufanele ukuba sesichengeni kuyo nayiphi na ingozi, okanye ukwenza naliphi na idini; ukuba ngumcimbi wezopolitiko ezimsulwa, ezingafanelekiyo

ikhokelwa kuphela yingqiqo yenyama: ukuba ubani uthe wabuza zonke izinto ezifanelekileyo zomntu nazo zonke izilangazelelo zomntu, konke kulungile, nangona umntu uye wayingcatsha injongo kaThixo waza wancama zonke izilangazelelo zonqulo. Ngaloo ndlela, phantsi kwesizathu sokuba ubani angamlingi uThixo, ubani ugqiba kwelokuba, ngokungakumbi okanye ngaphantsi, kunjalo

uvumelekile ukuba awushiye umsebenzi wakhe, okanye asebenze kuwo kuphela logama ukho

akhonto yokoyika xa esenza umsebenzi wakhe. Bubulumko babo obu, endicinga ukuba buyagwetywa kakhulu, makube kuthethwe phakathi kwethu.

Kwakhona, Dade wam, akubanga njalo ukuba abaNgcwele bakuqonde oko, athe uThixo wakuphathisa, kwaye asikuko ukuba ube njalo  .

yiva. Bahlanganisana, okwenyaniso, ubulumko benyoka ekugqibeleleni  kwehobe, ngokwecebo lenkosi yabo; kodwa abazange balwenze bubulumko ukuthi cwaka xa kuyimfuneko ukuthetha, okanye balwenze luhanahanise ukholo lwabo xa kuthethwa ngokubonakalisa nokuluthethelela,  abanye

izinto ezingeloncedo ebekufanele ukuba zibangelwe kuko okwexeshana. Baye apho ngenzondelelo ebonisa ngokwaneleyo ukuba ababoni mkhulu

ilishwa kunelo lokungathembeki kwingongoma enye yesi siphumo, nokusilela kubizo lwabo.

Kunjalo ke, ntombi yam, kufuneka uziphathe ngokomzekelo wabo, ubuncinane ukuba nguThixo othetha nawe, kuba yeyona nto ibalulekileyo ukuba uqiniseke ngayo. Ukuhexa okomzuzwana koko akufunayo, ngenxa yokoyika, ukuzingca, intlonipho yomntu okanye ngenye indlela, bekuya kuba kukumthuka ngokucinga ukubaluleka okanye ubuthathaka kuye; ibiya kuba kukungcatsha inyaniso ngokuyibamba, ngoxa ekuyalele ukuba uyikhanyise

emehlweni abazalwana bakho; yidipozithi oyifumene kubo kuphela, oya kuthi ngayo uphendule kubo; Okokugqibela kuyafuneka ukuba abantu abalungileyo baxhamle ngayo, bathi abanye ke bayifumane into entsha yokugwetywa, njengokuba kunjalo nakuzo iindaba ezilungileyo. Olu luluvo lwam Dade kwaye soze ndiphambuke kulo.

Ngokubhekiselele kwizisongelo azenzayo kuwe, ukuba ankwantye kwaye

ukuphelelwa lithemba ngelixa lokufa, kufuneka badelelwe, kwaye kungekhona, njengoko besithi, bangcangcazele ngenxa yokoyika ukwesaba: la maqhinga okugqibela otshaba oluphangisiweyo, oludlala kunye nentsalela yakhe, kwaye luzama, ubuncinane, ukwesaba. , xa ingenabuhlungu. Hayi, ntombi yam, ndiyakuqinisekisa, ilixa lakho lokugqibela aliyi kushiyeka kumsindo wakhe; UThixo akayi kuvumela, akabalahli, kwesi sicatshulwa sokugqibela, abo bathembele kuye. Ukuba eyakho

utshaba lunobuganga bokuzibonakalisa apho, kuya kuba, ngokungathandabuzekiyo, ukufumana isiphithiphithi sokugqibela, njengakukufa kobhishophu omkhulu ongcwele waseTours. Sisilwanyana esinoburhalarhume, yinyani, kwaye ingqumbo yaso kufuneka siyithintele, ngakumbi xa iphinda iphinda-phinda ingqumbo yaso; kodwa uJ.-C. wawubophelela ezinyaweni zomnqamlezo: unokukhonkotha, utsho uSt-Augustin, kodwa unokuluma kuphela abo basondela kuwo baze bavume amacebiso ayo angendawo. Intonga yakhe yaphukile, ubukhosi bakhe bubhukuqiwe, akanamandla ngaphandle koko anikwe ngumoyisi wakhe; kwaye abantwana bokwenyaniso bakaThixo, bakaJ.-C. nabeBandla lakhe, babeya kumenza

imbeko eninzi kakhulu yokumoyika ngoxa besifa, emva koloyiso oluqaqambileyo athe inkosi yabo yobuThixo yaluphumelela olu tshaba lwamandulo loluntu.

Nantsi ke, ngokoluvo lwam, ntombi yam, yintoni onokuthi ngesibindi, unokuthi umphendule ngalo mbandela, ukuphelisa ukoyikeka afuna ukukuphembelela: Ubomi bam busemandleni kaThixo, yena yedwa. inokulahla njengoko ibona kufanelekile; Nguye yedwa owaziyo okuya kwenzeka, kwaye ndiyayishiya kuye

ngokupheleleyo. Unako, ukuba uyavuma, uxhomekeke emadodeni; kodwa ndiyathemba yonke into evela kukulunga kwakhe, kwaye ngobabalo lwakhe ndiya kunikela ngokuzithandela, ukuba kuyamkholisa kwaye kunokuba luncedo ekusindisweni komntu. Ke ngoko ndiyabhengeza ukuba, ukuba kubonakala ngathi uThixo ufuna kum ukuba ndazise ebantwini intando yakhe, ngokubeka ubomi bam esichengeni, akukho nto iya kuba nako ukundinqanda; Ikhwele lam aliyi kuyinqanda; noloyiko lobuntwana lokungahlali iintsuku ezimbalwa ezingakumbi ezimbi alusayi kundenza ndenze ngokuchasene nesazela sam ngokuchasa amacebo akhe.

Nantsi kwakhona Dadewethu, kuba ufuna ukuyazi, yiloo nto endiyicingayo ngemeko yakho nangobunzima obukhulu obukubangela usathana. Akukho nto ndiyibonayo ukuba inganithintela ekulandeleni indlela kaThixo, enikhokelela ekubhaleni izinto awazisayo kuni. Sizivavanyile, ezi ngxaki zinkulu, ezi zithintelo zoyikekayo, ezi zintsonkothe ​​zisulungekisiweyo, kwaye uyabona ukuba konke oku kuncinci kakhulu, ukuba akukho nto: ziisophisms ezilusizi, okanye, ukuba

yiva ngcono, kukusetyenziswa kakubi rhoqo kwemigaqo embalwa elungileyo, eyijija ngeendlela eziliwaka, kwaye ngokungapheliyo yenza ubuxoki.

isicelo kwilizwe lakho. Yingqiqo eqhelekileyo yale ngqondo exokayo, kwaye

kungokusebenzisa kakubi ukuqiqa okubangela ukuba akwazi ukuqhatha abaphengululi abaninzi bobuxoki kangangokuba akhawuleze aye kuzo zonke iziphumo zezona

(136-140)

ubumfama obubulalayo. Kodwa, dade wethu, nokuba uthe wachasa ngokwakhe, nokuba uthe, unokucalula okukokwakhe, azisayi kuba ngcono; nangayiphi na indlela azama ngayo, akanakuze ayifihle imposiso aze ayifihle intwana yeenyaniso angenako ukuzitshabalalisa, nezimelwe kukuhlala phezu kwayo yonke imizamo yakhe.

“Undithuthuzela kanjani, Bawo! Wakhala uSister, emophula ukuthula okude nokunzulu! Ah! Bawo, indlela ondithuthuzela ngayo! Ndicinga ukuba nguMoya oyiNgcwele onicebise konke enisandula ukukuthetha kum

ukuzola. Ewe, Bawo, zonke ezi zinto, uThixo wayendixelele ngaphambili: ziingcinga  ezifanayo kwaye ziphantse zifana namagama. Ah! Ndiyibona ingcono ngoku kunakuqala. Andikhohliswa, ixesha lifikile, kwaye nguwe omele... Ngoko ke, makhe sicinge, wena kunye nam, kuphela ngokuzenza sifaneleke  .

ukuphumeza ukuthanda kweZulu, singenambono wumbi, kuko konke oku, ngaphandle kozuko lukaThixo nosindiso lwemiphefumlo athe wayikhulula u-J.-C. Hayi indlela ekuvuyisa ngayo ukusebenza apho! Ngamana asinakwenza oko ngokungeyomfuneko!

“Bawo,” waqhubeka, “Zininzi nezinye izinto endifuna ukukuxelela zona.

phambi kokuphela kwesi ntshayelelo ende, kodwa ndiyoyika ukugqithisela kuni; kwelinye icala, andinakwenza isigqibo sokukuvimba nantoni na enokukubeka  kwimeko yokwazi kwaye uyixabise ngokupheleleyo imeko yam. Uxolo lwam, njengokhuseleko lwam, luxhomekeke ngokupheleleyo kulwazi onalo ngam, ekugwetyweni kufuneka ulwenze. Ke, Bawo, ukuba awuboni mqobo, ndiza kugqiba, ngokuhlwanje, ngentsimbi yesihlanu, ndikunike ulwazi oluyimfuneko ukuze ndibe noxolo lwengqondo olugqibeleleyo. Siza kuphuma kwiseshini enye ngaphezulu.  »

Amaphupha avela kuThixo.

Phambi kokuba ndiyigqibe le, kum ibonakala ifanelekile ukuba ndiyibhence kwakhona, kwaye nditshabalalise isiphithiphithi somtyholi awayendixelelwe ngulo Dade, endingazange ndiyikhumbule endaweni yalo, ekubhaleni kwam; Nantsi, kancinci, kunye nempendulo yam:

Bawo, indimoni iphinda indichase; ndiyakucela ke ukuba uphendule. Sele ndinixelele ukuba, naxa ndisebuthongweni, ndandidla ngokukholwa ukuba uThixo uzibonakalisile, weva ngam, ngokungathandabuzekiyo esebenza ngamandla omphefumlo wam nangengqondo yam; okanye ubuncinane, ngokubetha ingcinga yam ngokukhumbula oko kwadlula ngaphakathi kwam. Ndide ndibale, ukuba ucinga ukuba kulungile, ukuthetha nawe, ngokulandelelana, ngala maphupha ahlukeneyo endiwakholelwayo angaqondakaliyo nabuprofeti; kodwa idemon yenza ngathi ifumana emaphupheni ngokwayo ubungqina obuhle bokuba ndiphantsi kwenkohliso, kwaye zonke izityhilelo zam ezizenzileyo ziyi-phantoms yentelekelelo esebenzayo. Wandixelela ukuba, amaphupha akanakuze abe yinto ngaphandle kwamaphupha, kwaye andiboni mahluko wumbi phakathi kwakho nenkuthazo yakho, ngaphandle kokuba amanye ngamaphupha asebusuku, amanye amaphupha emini: yonke le nto yimbali yobuntu. .  »

Phendula . Kuyabonakala, Dade wam, ukuba usathana uhamba phezu kwemigaqo yentanda-bulumko enkulu; omnye unokude, ndiyakholwa, amkrokrele ngokuthanda izinto eziphathekayo: ubuncinane usebenzisa apha ulwimi lwabo bonke abo

bathathe umntu njengomatshini apho babona kuphela into ebonakalayo kunye nemathiriyeli: ngokutsho kwabo, onke amandla ethu engqondo, yonke imisebenzi yengqondo yethu, ixhomekeke ngokupheleleyo kulungelelwaniso lwemizimba yethu, kwaye ayichatshazelwa yiyo. isiphumo esicocekileyo. Abafundi akufuneki bathethe

ingeyiyo inkosi yabo, ingenguye inkosi, ingenguye abafundi bakhe. Ngoko akukho nto inokumangaliswa ngayo; kodwa, ngayo yonke intlonipho komnye okanye komnye, sithembele kwisityhilelo kunye nengqiqo ngokwayo, sibambelela ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba uThixo unokwenza kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ade enze, ngexesha lokulala, kumandla engqondo yomphefumlo wethu  ; yaye iZibhalo Ezingcwele zikhankanya inani elikhulu kakhulu lamaphupha antsonkothileyo nangokwesiprofeto, awayenokuwavelisa yena yedwa, njengoko eyedwa owayenokuwachaza kakuhle. Ngaphandle kokuthetha ngamaphupha adumileyo kaFaro nakaNebhukadenetsare, kwakusephupheni apho iZazi zalunyukiswa ukuba zingayi kuHerode, emva kokuba zifumene ulonwabo  .

ukunqula uMsindisi osakhulayo; waye ephupheni ukuba uYosefu wayalelwa ukuba asabele eYiputa nomntwana nonina; kwaye kwakhona ephupheni walunyukiswa ukuba abuye: U-Ecce Angelus Dei wabonakala kwi-somnis Joseph, i-dicens, njl.,  njl. (Izibalo 2); kwakusephupheni ukuba wayelunyukisiwe ukuba angamshiyi umfazi wakhe owayekhulelwe… Ngaba sinokuthi, ngaphandle kokunyelisa, ukuba yonke le nto yayiyimpembelelo yesimo sakhe sengqondo okanye intelekelelo yakhe? Kwakusephupheni awathi uAbraham wakhetha waza wamkela ilizwe lakwaKanan, ngesithembiso senzala engenakubalwa……. Ke kukho amaphupha aveliswa nguThixo: kufuneka ube ngumntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo okanye ubuncinci ukuphika: kufuneka wenze ukhetho  .

ngobulumko, ngaphandle kokukholelwa kuwo onke amaphupha; kukho ezinye ezingenakudelwa. Masilumkele, Dade wam, ekuzinikeleni ekukholelweni kwiinkolelo; kodwa masingabi ngabo bathetha ngabo uPawulos oNgcwele xa esithi : Animalis autem homo non percipit ea quae sunt spiritus Dei. (I. Kor., 2, 14.)

(141-145)

Udliwano-ndlebe lwesithathu kunye noDade. — Indlela uThixo azibonakalisa ngayo kuye.

Ndandisamkele icebiso lalo dade, yaye kwathi ngentsimbi yesihlanu wasondela kum: “Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, Bawo,” wathi kum, “Kunzima ukuba ndithethe nawe ngaphandle kweziphithiphithi needemon; ngoku makhe sithethe into malunga neziphumo ezichaseneyo neqela likaThixo elindibangela ukuba ndibe nazo: olu lwazi ekumele ukuba ube nalo ngalo, kum, njengoko senditshilo, luyimfuneko kakhulu. Bawo, sendithe ndathetha nawe ngayo

ubukho bukaThixo obunengqiqo; Ndade ndavuma kuwe ukuba uYesu Kristu wayedla ngokubonakala kum ngokubonakalayo nangobuntu awayenabo emhlabeni, nangona kukho, ukuba uthabatha kakuhle, iimeko ezintathu kuphela zobomi bam, apho ndinokuthi ngokupheleleyo, kwaye ndiqinisekise. ndingenalo naluphi na uloyiko, ukuba obu bukho bukaThixo wam babubonakala emehlweni omzimba: ngamanye amaxesha, ndicinga ukuba, mhlawumbi kwakunzima ukubonakala ngaphandle kwamehlo omoya, kwaye akuzange kwenzeke.

ukuziva nzulu emphefumlweni: yile nto ndiyicingayo, ngaphandle kobuganga bokubuqinisekisa; kuba kukho izinto ezininzi kule hambo kaThixo, ezigqithise ngokupheleleyo ekufikelelekeni okubuthathaka kwengqondo yomntu, nangaphezulu.

kwakhona ulwalamano lweemvakalelo. Nokuba kunjalo, Bawo, nantsi  imbonakalo yokuba obu bukho bukaThixo bundenza ndibe  namava.

Iziphumo eziveliswa bubukho bukaThixo  .

“Okokuqala, obu bukho bungcwele nobungcwele bundikhokelela kukuthobeka okukhulu, kuloyiko olungcwele, kwimbubhiso enzulu ngentlonelo exutywe nokuthembana  ngothando. Xa onke amagunya esihogo, etyhilelwe kum, ebeya kuguqula ingaphakathi lam lijonge phantsi kwaye azise eyona ngxaki ibulalayo kuwo onke amandla omphefumlo wam, ekuphela kwendlela yokusondela kuThixo ozenza abonakale nangayiphi na indlela, kubandakanya nokubuyisela ukuzola. inzulu kangangokuba akukho nto ehlabathini inokuyixelisa. Ukusondela kwayo kunyanzelisa inzolo kwiinkanuko ezixokozelayo, ngalo myalelo unzima uvakala ezinzulwini zomphefumlo xa ungena kuwo: Thula, nantsi iNkosi, hlonipha ubukho bakhe kwaye unike imbeko kuBuThixo bakhe... Ngoko ke, Bawo, ilizwi elithambileyo livakala ngaphakathi kwam, njengesandi, eliphendula elokuqala: “ Khangela uMdali wam, uMkhululi wam noThixo wam! Nantsi eyona nto ithandwa ngumphefumlo wam kwaye intliziyo yam iyayithanda! Nantsi eyona nto ithandekayo nethandekayo yeyona minqweno yam idlamkileyo kunye nolona  thando lwam luthambileyo!

Uhlaselo oloyikekayo awathi walufumana kwidemon.

“Ndimema ke onke amandla omphefumlo wam, ndimema zonke iingelosi nabo bonke abangcwele, ndimema zonke izidalwa ukuba zihlanganyele nam

ukumnqula: Venite, adoremus et procidamus ante Deum.

“Kwangaxeshanye yonke ingqondo yam nokuqonda kwam, inkumbulo yam, nentliziyo yam, nentliziyo yam, zimanyane, ukuba ndimnqule, ndimnqule, ndimthobele kuko konke oko akucelayo kum, . .  . umtyholi akazange akwazi ukwenza umgunyathi, kwaye ekungenakwenzeka ukuba uphazame xa sele evavanyiwe  .

“Ndaphinda ndathi kuwe, Bawo, kwaye ndiya kuba nethuba lokuphinda ndikuphindaphinde oko, okokuba uThixo wathetha kum, ndaliva ilizwi lakhe. Kananjalo asikukuba ibisoloko ivakala ezindlebeni zomzimba; kodwa nantsi indlela elithetha ngayo eli lizwi lingcwele nakum xa elibhekisa kum

: iyazibethelela enzulwini yomphefumlo wam, apho ithwala ukucaca okukhanyayo okukhanyisa zonke iimvakalelo zam zangaphakathi; kwaye nantsi indlela lo msebenzi owenziwa ngayo:

Ngamanye amaxesha ithunyelwa kum, enye emva kwenye, kwaye ngokukhawuleza umbane ubonakala emafini. Igama elinye, eliphuma emlonyeni weNkosi yethu, linentsingiselo eyongezelelekileyo ngolo hlobo, lindenza ndibone kuThixo inkitha engaka yezinto ezahlukahlukeneyo, kangangokuba bekuya kuthatha imiqulu emikhulu ukubenza bavakalelwe kakuhle kwaye baqondwe kakuhle; kwaye nalapho bekungayi kwenzeka ukuba uphumelele, ekubeni ilizwi likaThixo, elo lizwi lanaphakade, loo mbonakaliso ingenakuphikiswa yengcinga yobuthixo, ilugqwesa ngokungenasiphelo ulwimi lweengelosi nabantu. Onjani wona ukusikeleleka umoya, nasiphi na isidalwa esiya kuze siwuqonde size siwuqonde

ngokugqibeleleyo onke amandla kunye namandla? Le nto ke Bawo mayiqondwe ngala mazwi ndiya kuhlala ndiwasebenzisa: UThixo uthetha nam, undazisa uThixo, ndibona kuThixo, ndibona ekukhanyeni okundikhanyiselayo; ubukho bukaThixo babonakala ngokwam, babonakala kum; UThixo uzenze wavelana nomphefumlo wam, njalo njalo, njalo njalo…. Ngamanye amaxesha eli lizwi likaThixo lisebenza ngokucothayo nangokuthantamisa, kodwa lisoloko linamandla afanayo.

“Ngelixa ezi zibabalo zihleliyo, ingaphakathi lam lonke lithathelwe ingqalelo kwaye likhunjulwa kuThixo, ngaphandle kokukwazi ukubalahla okanye ukuziphazamisa kubo okomzuzwana, kodwa ngalo lonke ixesha ngesona sinyanzelo sikhululekileyo nesimnandi umntu anokucinga. Ndicinga ukuba ithatha okuninzi kuleyo yabasikelelweyo.

Ngelixa ingqondo inikezela ekucingeni, intliziyo inikezela othandweni, kunye nentando kumnqweno wokukholisa into ethandekayo. Onke amagunya

batshise kwaye batshise ukwenza imiyalelo yakhe, nokuba kuyintoni na.

Kukangaphi na Bawo ndingafuni ukuzincama ukuba ndipapashe into emasiyibhale xa endenza ndibone ukuba intando yakhe ithi mayipapashwe!

(146-150)

Ixhala lokuba usathana umnika malunga nokusebenza kukaThixo kuye.

Ngale nto, Bawo, ngelixa ndicinga ngayo, kufuneka ndikuxelele ngobuqhetseba esasenziwa ngusathana ngexesha

Sendikhe ndathetha kuni: phakathi kwezinto uThixo andibonisa zona, kukho ezinye ezichazwa kum ngokungathi ngomlomo, kwaye ke andinankathalo yimbi ngaphandle kokukhumbula amazwi asetyenziswa nguThixo, ukuba akakwenzi. akufunekanga iphambuke, kwaye kuyo, ngamanye amaxesha, ndingatshintshi nto; kodwa amaxesha amaninzi ndiba nemibono kuphela ngaphandle kokufumana amagama, ndibona izinto ngaphandle kokukwazi

chaza; ubuncinane, yiloo nto endinika ihlazo elikhulu kunye nomsebenzi omkhulu, uThixo awuphelisayo ngokuthi kum: nantsi into emele ithethwe. Emva koko ndikhululekile, kwaye ndifumana ulonwabo olukhulu kwezi ngcinga. Kodwa umtyholi undenza ndiqonde, ngexesha lakhe, ukuba konke oku akunako ukuvela kuThixo, othi, akenzi ngolo hlobo, kodwa uhlala enobulumko kunye nokufana: ngoko, uqukumbela, akukho nto kuyo yonke le nto. akukho nto ngaphandle kwentelekelelo kwicala lam, ingxowa-mali yokuzingca kwiimbono zam, kunye nokulungiswa kokuzithemba konke okuyingozi ngakumbi njengoko kufihlwe ngakumbi. Ucinga ntoni Bawo kwaye uzakuphendula uthini kolu hlaselo lokugqibela apho utshaba lwam lungathi lundijongile ngomoya woloyiso? »

Phendula kwi-quibble kasathana.

Ndicinga, ntombi yam, kwaye ndiyaphendula ukuba akuyi kuba nzima kakhulu kuwe, ngobabalo lukaThixo, ukumnyanzela kwakhona kule ngqungquthela yokugqibela: ngokwenene, le nkcaso, mhlawumbi iya kuphindwa ngabaninzi, ayibonakali. kum

into engeyiyo iqhinga lokugqibela lotshaba oloyisiweyo olubuyela kwityala emva kokoyiswa kwakhe, kwaye azixhobise ngayo yonke into anokuyifumana esandleni. Kodwa ndiqala ngokumbuza, kwanabancedi bakhe, ukuba liliphi ilungelo abanalo lokuthetha ngobulumko bobuthixo, yaye ngaphezu kwako konke lokuyalela uThixo indlela amele enze ngayo?….Mabafunde, aba bangenankathalo, ukuba uThixo akanayo eminye imigaqo anokuyilandela ngaphandle kwentando yakhe; ukuba yonke into bubulumko kule ntando, nokuba kungabikho ukujikajika, isiphoso, impambano, ngaphandle kwasezingqondweni zabo banobuganga bokukhalimela imiphumo yako: uzuko, ikhwele, umsindo, impindezelo, ezikukungafezeki ebantwini, yimfezeko ebantwini  .  uThixo.

Into esiyibiza ngokuba yi-caprice kunye nokungaguquguquki sisiphene kuphela ngokunxulumene nathi, kwaye kungekhona ngokunxulumene nomntu apho konke kunobulumko, kwaye ongekho phantsi kotshintsho. Asizazi izizathu zakhe kwanendlela ayiyo, yaye elo lityala.

Kodwa, Dade wam, kungcono uxhwile esi sixhobo kubo, okanye endaweni yoko esi soyikisa sibi, ndiza kukuthelekisa apha naba bantu baphefumlelweyo athe uThixo maxa wambi wabayalela kwa amazwi, njengaxa kwakungumbuzo wokuzenzela owabo umgaqo. ukungcwalisa okanye ukwenza icace inkolelo eyinyani yabathembekileyo kwiingongoma ezibalulekileyo (ezinye iCawe ikhe yazilinganisa). Wazanelisa ngokubazisa intsingiselo yezinto;

kubashiyela ukhetho lwamabinzana; ekulula ukuyiqonda ngokuthelekisa kunye abashumayeli abane abadla ngokunikela ingxelo ngezibakala ezifanayo, kodwa ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo: siyabona ukuba amabinzana ayahluka, kuba bengamadoda; kodwa isiseko sezinto sinye, ngenxa yokuba umoya oziphefumlelayo awuhlukanga; yena kuphela, ngokuthanda kwakhe, wafuna ukushiya uhlobo oluthile lokufaneleka koonobhala bakhe kulo mbandela, ukuze bangabi zizixhobo nje zokungenzi nto ezandleni zakhe. Kunjalo nakuwe. Kuko konke oku, uMoya oyiNgcwele ufuna, ukuba kulunge kuwe, ukuba ungene kuwo ngenxa yento ethile; kwaye kungokuba siya kufaneleka kuphela kangangoko sihambelana nobabalo lweNkosi, oluthi, ngaphezu koko, luzimele geqe kuthi. Yiyo yonke imfihlelo. Kodwa oko kuninzi kakhulu ukuba uhlale kwizinto ezingenamsebenzi; qhubeka, ndiyakucela, ukuba uthethe nam ngaphakathi kwakho.

Umyalelo kaDade malunga nezilingo, kunye nendlela yokumelana nazo.

“Kufuneka, Bawo,” waqhubeka uDade, “ukuba ndiphinde ndikubonise, ngesihlandlo sam, indlela aqala ngayo ukulwa nathi, nokuba singaqalisa njani ukufumanisa nokuphazamisa amaqhinga akhe.

Ipati endikholelwa ukuba ivela kwidemon indibangela, njengoko benditshilo, ekusondeleni kwayo, ukuphazamiseka okukhulu kwintelekelelo. Esi sisihlalo azibeka kuso ukuba enze ingxolo enkulu; isuka apho inyuke iye emoyeni kwaye

Ingqondo ingumphunga omnyama wokubenza mnyama, ibavuse, ibadube, ibavukele ekuthobeleni konke. Ngethamsanqa, Bawo, ndifumene

uqaphele ukuba ekuphakameni kwesiphango iziphakamiso ze-infernal azikwazi ukuya emazantsi omphefumlo okanye ekuqondeni; idibana nayo

intliziyo kunye nokuthanda, ukuma ngokuqinileyo ngokuchasene nokuhlaselwa. Intelekelelo, yosulelekile kwaye ikhathazekile, ihlala inxibelelana nezimvo zayo ezimbi

umoya, osondele kakhulu kuwo; kodwa njengokuba intelekelelo inokuphazamiseka ngaphandle kokuba ingqondo ichatshazelwe yiyo, ingqondo nayo inokuphazamiseka ngaphandle kokuqonda, intliziyo, okanye intando ifumana nawuphi na umonakalo.

“Intelekelelo iveza izinto ezilungileyo okanye ezimbi engqondweni: ingqondo iziphembelela ekuqondeni; lo wokugqibela uzidlulisela entliziyweni okanye kwintando, leyo

(151-155)

uyala okanye uvuma phantse rhoqo ngokoluvo lokuqonda, osebenza njengomgwebi phakathi kwamanye amagunya. Kubaluleke kakhulu, njengoko ubona, ukuba angabonakali okanye asuleleke, ukuze akwazi ukuqwalasela into enikezelwa kuye phantsi kombono oyinyaniso, kwaye enze isigwebo esiphilileyo nesikhululekileyo, ukubonisana nomdla weminqweno; awayengenako  ukuyenza ukuba ubengakhululwanga kakuhle kuyo, nokuba kuncinane, ukuba uthe wawiswa waze wonakaliswa kwangaphambili; ngokuchaseneyo, kufuneka abeke ecaleni ngononophelo kwanemifanekiso enokuthi ingcamango ephambeneyo nengenasidima ingathanda ukuyilandela emva kwayo  .

amehlo akhe (1): okona kuncinane ukufuna ukwazi bekuya kuba sele kumenza abe netyala, ngokumbhenca ekubeni abe netyala ngakumbi.

(1) Abanye abafundisi bezakwalizwi abalungileyo baye baphawula kum ukuba oku kunyuswa kukaDade akuzange kubonakale kubo kuhambelana nemithetho yemetaphysics, engawuvumiyo nawuphi na  umahluko phakathi kwengqondo nokuqonda; emva kokucinga ngayo, bendisiya, kolu yilo lokugqibela, ukusombulula ukucima enye okanye enye yala magama mabini; kodwa ngequbuliso ndiye ndacinga: Heyi! kutheni, emva kwayo yonke loo nto, kufuneka sibhideke ingqondo kunye nokuqonda kunokukhumbula kunye nentando? Ngaba ezi ziqu zintathu zahluke kakhulu zengqondo enye? Ukuqonda  ke ngoko

ngomoya unxulumano olufanayo lomahluko njengamanye  amagunya. Kule nto ndiye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndigcine imiqathango yokuthweswa isidanga kukaSista, mhlawumbi ebenezizathu zakhe zokuthetha  ngolu hlobo.

umgangatho. Kulapha ngenene umntu unokuthi othanda ubungozi uya kutshabalala khona, kuba sele kukungathembeki okusesikweni ukuba uzibhence kuyo ngokungakhathali  .

intando kunye nokucamngca, nangona umntu engafuni isono ngokwaso. Ndithini na Bawo! asikokufuna ulwaphulo-mthetho ukufuna ukungcamla ubumnandi balo? U-Thixo, ekuthinteleni isenzo esibi, akazange na awathintele iimeko zayo eziluncedo, konke okulahlayo nokukhokelela kuyo, yonke le nto iyintshayelelo yayo, ukulandelelana kwayo nokukhatshwa kwayo? Ngoku, ukuba konke oku akumkholisi uThixo, njengenxalenye yesono, konke oku, ngoko ke, akuvumelekanga, kuba konke oku kungokwemvelo, kwaye kufakwe phantsi kothintelo lwesono, esingekho kuso  .

sivumeleke ngakumbi ukuba sisebenzise ingqondo yethu kunokuba sivunyelwe ukusebenzisa imizimba yethu okanye naziphi na izivamvo zethu.

Ke, Bawo, nakuphi na ukukhumbula izenzo ezithile, naluphi na uphando, nakuphi na ukujonga, nakuphi na ukufun’ ukwazi ngemibandela ethile, nakuphi na ukwanelisa, ngamafutshane, malunga nento embi okanye eyingozi, kuya kuba kubi okanye kuyingozi, ngakumbi ukuba kongezwa kuyo. uhlobo oluthile lokucingela ukuba uyakwazi, ngamaxesha onke eyedwa, ukuhlala eyinkosi yentando yakhe, ngaphandle kokukuvumela ukuba avume ukubhengezwa okanye ukwaneliseka kwesono. Ah! Bawo, kukulinga uThixo, kukuzihenda, kukufanele ukulahlwa ngalo lonke ixesha kulandelwa sisiwa esinzima okanye esinzima, kuba, ngokucaphuka kwakhe, uThixo uhlala eyishiya  .

ongakhathaliyo owathi naye ngobugwala wamshiya ukuze azanelise; kwaye oku kulahlwa kwecala likaThixo sesona sohlwayo sibi kakhulu ngenxa yokubambela kwakhe. Masigqibe kule nto ngokuqwalasela, ngenkathalo, kufuneka sijonge ukucinga kwethu, inkumbulo yethu, amehlo ethu nezandla zethu, iindlebe zethu nolwimi lwethu, ngelizwi, phezu kwazo zonke iintshukumo zentliziyo yethu nangayo yonke ingqiqo  . yemizimba yethu, ukuba singanikezeli utshaba olunobuqhophololo, oluhlala lukhangele ukuba lusimangalise, olukwaziyo ukusebenzisa elona thuba lincinci, kunye naye ukungakhathali okuncinci, nokungakhathali okuncinci, kunokuba neziphumo  ezibi .

“Kodwa, Bawo, yintoni ethuthuzelayo kwabo bahendwayo?

Uvavanyo kukuba, njengoko benditshilo, ukucinga, iimvakalelo, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha nengqondo, inokubethwa kwaye ikhathazwe sisiphango, ngaphandle

intliziyo yonakele. Ngaphezu koko, nguThixo kuphela onokubala kanye oko kungena kuyo yonke le nto, yobuntu okanye yezizathu zomzimba nezingenakuthintelwa: nguye yedwa onokuthelekisa kwaye alungelelanise iqondo lohlaselo kunye neqondo lokuchasa, ngeendlela azinike zona. Okokugqibela, eyedwa, unokuluqonda kakuhle ubabalo lwendalo, nohlobo lobabalo, aze abone ukuba umntu unetyala okanye angabi nalo, ngokusetyenziswa kakubi okanye ukusetyenziswa kakuhle kobabalo lwenkululeko. Endikwaziyo, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, kukuba uThixo, osoloko enyanisekile kwilizwi lakhe, yaye usoloko elunge ngakumbi kunathi singendawo, akanakuze avumele ukuba sihendwe ngaphaya kwamandla asinika wona. nokuba uya kukwazi, ukuba sithembekile ekuxhathiseni kwasekuqaleni, ukuba sixhakamfule isilingo ngokwaso, ukuze asincede soyise phezu kwaso size soyise umhendi.

“Ngoko nje ukuba intliziyo kunye nentliziyo zimanyane ukuze zimelane nohlaselo, akukho nto ilahlekileyo; ngokuchaseneyo, yonke into kufuneka iguqukele yethu

inzuzo: impumelelo yokulwa ngoko ixhomekeke kakhulu ekuqondeni; konke kuya kuba kuhle, ukuba uthembekile ukulumkisa amanye amagunya ekufikeni kwe

utshaba, ngakumbi ukubamanyanisa ukugxotha umzamo wakhe, ngaphandle kokuva

kungabikho ndawo yokuhlala: unokude ngamanye amaxesha azibone enyanzelekile ukuba alahle ukucinga kwakhe, iimvakalelo, kunye nengqondo yakhe; kodwa utshaba aluyi kuhlala ixesha elide kwisithuba apho kuya kubakho ngaphezulu

(156-160)

ukulahlekelwa kunokuphumelela kuye, ngelixa kuya kufuneka ajongane nentando

ezimisele kubani azuza kuye uloyiso oluninzi njengoko anikela uhlaselo. Bawo, endityhilele kona uThixo. Ukuba ubona kuyo nantoni na echasene nemigaqo elungileyo neyinyaniso, nceda undazise.

Masiqhubeke sibonisa indlela uThixo andenza ngayo ukuba ndazi ukuba kufuneka siziphathe kwimilo esiyinikwa ngusathana.

"Ndazifumana, Bawo, isithuba seminyaka elishumi okanye elinesibini, ndisilwa kwaye ndirhangqwe yiminqweno eyahlukeneyo, izilingo kunye neengcebiso zobudemon, ezizichukumisayo kwingcinga yam ngokumelwa okwahlukeneyo.

Ububi, bavuka ngamandla ngokuchasene nomoya: Umoya omnyama nongqindilili wanwenwela emandleni am onke, ngokokude kum njengobusuku obumnyama, obunzima, ekungabonwanga nyanga nankwenkwezi kuyo: idemon, ibekwe emcabangweni wam, yaphosa isithiyelo sayo. ngeemvakalelo nangenkumbulo, indikhumbuza izinto ezilikhulu ebendingathanda ukuzilibala. Thixo ! umlo kwaye enjani imeko!

“Ekungeneni ebumnyameni, ukuqonda kwam kwakufana nokuthinjwa phantsi kwenkululeko yam yokuzikhethela, eyayibonakala indedwa ukulwa. Ukuzibona ngoko ndingakwazi ukucinga ngoThixo ngendlela yam eqhelekileyo, andizange ndityekele

ngaphezu kwayo yonke indlela yentando, ingenalo lonke uncedo lwengqiqo nayo yonke into enomdla ebantwini kunye neyexeshana, kuba ngamanye amaxesha kwakubonakala kum ukuba ndishiywe ngokupheleleyo kumsindo wotshaba lwam, olwenze umdlalo wenkxwaleko yam kwaye intlungu yam; wayewuthimbile zonke iindlela zomphefumlo wam, wada wawungqinga macala onke (1).

(1) Ngokungathandabuzekiyo uThixo wayivumela kuphela le ntombazana ingcwele ukuba izifumane ikuloo zikhundla zilishwa, kuphela ukuze inike kuyo kokubini isizathu sokuthuthuzeleka, nomzekelo wokuziphatha kuyo yonke imiphefumlo ehendwa ngogonyamelo, neyayiya kuzifumana ikwimeko efanayo okanye efanayo. iimeko. Ukunqanda ukuthanda komntu, ukubhenela kuThixo, apha, kule meko, ngumqadi angenakunyanzela usathana.

Kungelo xesha ke, uBawo, awandimela ngamandla ukuba yenzeke kum, ukuba ndinako kwaye ndilahlekelwe lithemba ngaphandle kwethemba: kulo mlo unzima nonzima, umoya wam wawuxhelekile kwaye ukhathazekile okomntu othe wahlasela. macala onke ngamandla aphezulu,  akasekho

ezinye iindlela zokusindisa ubomi bakhe kunokukhalela uncedo. Ewe, Bawo, kwimeko enjalo umphefumlo umele ucele uncedo kuThixo uze emva koko uzivalele emandleni awo, ndithetha ukuba, ngokuzimisela, ngokusisigxina nangokuzimisela, ukufa kunokuba uvume isono  . ngaloo nto, into enokwenzeka. Kukule nto  ke

luloyiso. Uziva ebuthathaka; ke amandla akhe makawabeke kowamxhasayo: uziva engenathemba; kodwa ethembele kwinceba yoThixo wakhe, kufuneka athembele kulo lonke ithemba. Ekuphela kophawu anokwazi ngalo ukuba akoyiswa iya kuba kukuba usengumfazi wenkululeko yakhe yokuzikhethela nangokuthanda kwakhe; ngoko kufuneka abaleke

hlala kufuphi njengoko umatiloshe olichule ekwiphini lokukhukulisa, ekungafunekiyo ukumyekela umzuzwana xa kusaqhwithi, ukuba unqwenela ukuyigcina inqanawa yakhe elunxwemeni.

waphukelwa ngumkhombe, wazisindisa ekufeni. Yiloo nto esiyibiza ngokubamba umphefumlo wakho ezandleni zozibini. Lo kumkanikazi wamagunya unokuyalela njengowongamileyo, aze abathintele nakuphi na ukukhalaza kwizinto eziziswa yidemon kwinkumbulo, kwintelekelelo, nasekuqondeni; ke uqinisekile ukuba uza koyisa, nokuba bebekhathazekile, kuba ebesazi

ukuba ahluthe izixhobo ezandleni zotshaba ukuze azisebenzisele ukulwa naye. Oku kunokuthi, ngoncedo lobabalo, intando yomntu okanye inkululeko yokuzikhethela, isoloko ikhululekile ukukhetha kunye nokumisela umthetho kunye nomsebenzi, nangona yonke imizamo yokuhendwa kunye nomtyholi. Ngoku, into enokwenziwa yinkululeko yokuzikhethela kwimeko enjalo, akuthandabuzeki ukuba unetyala kuThixo, phantsi kweentlungu

ukungathobeli kunye nobugwala obunokumenza abe netyala kakhulu kuye phantsi kwesohlwayo sesigwebo. Kulapho kufuneka uphumelele okanye ufe.

Yeha kumphefumlo onikezela ekuhendweni kwaye uvume isono.

Kodwa, Bawo, yho! ngubani onokuchaza ishwangusha lokuba umphefumlo ulahlile onke amandla awo kwizinto ezinomtsalane zenkohliso, kwiziyolo ezingavunyelwayo zesono, xa inkumbulo, intelekelelo, ukuqonda kunye nokuthanda kubukrelekrele bokunikela intliziyo kwidemon. ! Ngoko oku

utshaba olukhohlakeleyo noluchubekileyo luqhubela phambili ngoloyiso, kwaye lungene ngeengqondo;

ukucinga, inkumbulo kunye nomoya, nakwintando, apho ibeka khona isihlalo sayo kwaye ilungise indawo yayo yokuhlala. Wathi: Likhaya lam eli, akukho bani unokundigxotha. Ungumoyisi ozenze inkosi embindini wesixeko, usebenzisa amandla anobuzwilakhe apho kwaye ubeka yonke into ngomlilo nekrele. Indlela eya kuye

xhathisa ngoku! Ungade uphakame njani ngokuchasene nolawulo lwayo olukhohlakeleyo nolucinezelayo? Ah! imeko eyoyikekayo kumphefumlo onokuba nayo

ukuluphepha ngokulula ngokuma uqinile, unganiki nto kwasekuqalekeni kwesihendo!

Khawufane ucinge ke, Bawo, umngxuma onzulu apho elishwa

(161-165)

Umthinjwa uyarhaxwa engakhange akwazi ukuphuma kuwo, okanye enze umzamo omnye wokuyivuthulula idyokhwe yakhe, okanye aqhawule amaqhina ayo: le yimeko yomphefumlo apho idemon iphethe intando yawo, engasasebenziyo ngaphandle kwayo. ngoluvo lokuba uyayifumana…. Onke amandla akhe atsaleleka ebubini, engakwazi, ngokungathi kunjalo, ukuziphazamisa kubo… Ewe, Bawo, yonke into iba sisono nesizathu sesono kwikhoboka likaMtyholi elilishwa nentando yakhe eyonakeleyo; yonke into ayibonayo, yonke into ayichukumisayo, yonke into ayinqwenelayo imenza abe netyala ngengqiqo yokwenyani, ngenxa yokuba onke amandla akhe ajikwa aze asiwe ebubini, nangona engasoloko ekwisihlandlo okanye enamandla okuwenza ngezenzo, usoloko enentando kwaye ehlala eyenza entliziyweni yakhe. Ngokuqhelekileyo unengcamango, umnqweno, ukuthanda, utyekelo;

ekhonkxiwe yile ntando iqalekisiweyo yokucaphukisa uThixo, wenza inkitha yolwaphulo-mthetho ngawo wonke umzuzu; kwaye ndiyacinga, Bawo, ukuba kungalula ukuvusa umntu ofileyo oneentsuku ezine ubudala kunokuzisa uguquko lomoni onjalo. »

Injalo, kwaye icace kangako, ichanekile, ichanekile nobunzulu; yayingala mandla kunye nale ntaphane yeembono apho, kule meko, uDade wancokola nam ixesha elide ngezi zinto.

imiba yemetaphysical kunye nezengqondo kuphela; eli linge lokuqala, endinike ngalo iinkcukacha ezichanekileyo, lalifana nesampulu awayefuna ngayo uThixo, ndiyacinga, ukundenza ndikrobe kwaye ndibone kwangaphambili konke endinokukulindela kuye kuzo zonke iincoko zethu. Kwakhona, ndicinga, ngendlela efanayo ukuba umfundi kufuneka azithathele yena, kuba kubonakala ngathi ndibona uyilo oluninzi kuyo.

Zingaphi izinto eziqulethwe kula maphepha ambalwa, kwaye ngenxa yoko zingaphi iingcinga ekufuneka zenziwe koko zikuqulathileyo, kumKristu olumkileyo ofunda, angafundi, okanye angafundi, kodwa afunde, akhumbule kwaye azuze!… oko sikufunda kwimisebenzi eyahlukeneyo yezithandi zobulumko

yokuziphatha, yamandulo kunye nanamhlanje, kunye noko sikubonileyo, kwaye thina

uya kuvuma ngokulula ukuba ilinge lokuqala lalo mfazi lingazi nto liyodlula lee into abayithethileyo okanye abayicingayo ngeyona nto ilungileyo nebalaseleyo.

Ke ngoko masifunde kwaye sicamngce ngayo yonke ingqalelo esikwaziyo ukuyijonga, yokucamngca kunye nemithetho enokuza kuthi kuphela ivela eZulwini. Masilisebenzise eli cebiso lobulumko ekufuneka silinikwe ngumkhonzi kaJ. Ukuba umtyholi uya kumila kumbi ngamanye amaxesha ukuze athethe nabantu, akusokuze, sinokuqiniseka, ukubamba ulwimi olunjalo kubo; akanakuze abafundise imilinganiselo ephakame ngolo hlobo

kubalulekile elusindisweni. Unomdla kakhulu kubukumkani bakhe ukuba angawuphosa kuthi

iintliziyo zembewu yezinto ezilungileyo ekufuneka ziyonakalisa ukusuka phezulu ukuya ezantsi: Omne regnum in seipsum divisum desolabitur, et domus supra domum cadet. (Funda uLuka 11, 17.)

Ngoko ke masizilungiseleleni ukumphulaphula njengesihlabo esiphuma ezulwini; masizivule iindlebe zethu elizwini lakhe; kwaye ukuba namhlanje umoya othuthuzelayo ufuna ukumsebenzisa ukuze azive ngathi, masilumke singabeki umqobo kubabalo lwakhe kwaye sivale umnyango wentliziyo yethu kuye: Hodiè si vocem ejus audieritis, nolite obdurare corda vestra . . ( INdumiso 94, 5 . )

Makhe sijonge into emele isixelele yona ngekamva njengeApocalypse entsha, ukufundwa nokucamngca kufuneka kusikhusele kuloyiko olulungileyo lwamaxesha anomngcipheko, oluya kusigcina sisemsebenzini kwaye sisigcine esonweni; Beatus ogunyazisa kwaye aphicothe iziprofeto zentetho hujus, kunye

servat ea quœ in eâ scripta sunt; tempus enim prope est. (ISityhi. 1, 3.)

IZItyhilelo

YOMDADE WOKUZALWA  .

ICANDELO LOKUQALA.

Ne que enim ego ab homiae accepi illud, neque didici, sed ngokwesityhilelo J.-C. (AD GAL. 1, 12).

INTSHAYELELO.

Amalungiselelo alandelayo athi uThixo acele kuDade woZalo, ukuba abhale oko amazisa kona.

Ekugqibeleni lwaphela uvalo kuSister, zaphela iingxaki zakhe, kwaye esi siqiniseko awayesonwabela, wayetyala kakhulu ilizwi langaphakathi elalithetha naye, elinayo yonke into endandinokuyithetha kuye, nangona uThixo wayengenakusilela ukukuthabatha. Inzuzo yayo, ukuba yayikukumqinisekisa kuphela ekucengeni kwakhe, kunye nokungqina kuye

(166-170)

ukufaneleka kwentobeko nokholo, ekuphela kwenjongo yakhe, yoxolo noxolo kwindawo yolu hlobo.

Ukuphelisa onke amathandabuzo akhe kule nkalo, nokusikhulula ngakumbi isazela sakhe, ndandithethe naye egameni likaThixo, yaye ekugqibeleni ndandifuna ukuba

I-akhawunti ye-interior yayo, phantsi kweentlungu zokungathobeli: ngoko ke yayingumbuzo wokufumana ekugqibeleni lo mbonakaliso, kunye nokuza kwinto endiyibiza ngokuba yizityhilelo zayo, kwaye yintoni enobuchule obungakumbi, ngenani elikhulu, elingenako ukubiza ngenye indlela. Emva kokuba eguqe phantsi emva kwesango elincinci eliphindwe kabini (le

awayesoloko eluqhelisela emva koko, ngaphandle kokuba ubuthathaka bakhe bamnyanzela ukuba ahlale phantsi, sekunjalo kwakusoloko kuyimfuneko ukuba amyalele ukuba enjenjalo), waqala ngokwenza umqondiso womnqamlezo, waza wongezelela amazwi awayendicela ukuba ndiwabhale kuwo. entlokweni yakhe:

“NgoYesu noMariya, egameni loyena Bathathu Emnye Ungcwele, ndiyathobela. »

Bawo, waqhubeka, ekuphazamisekeni nasekukhathazekeni endithethe ngako kakhulu kuwe, ndaphinda ndazibhekisa kuJ. ubukho bukaThixo bazivelela kum, kwaye nantsi into eyathethwa yiNkosi yethu kum ngalo mbandela, nendlela efuna ukuba ndiqale ngayo ukuba ubhale: “Yala, ntombi yam, onke amacebiso edemon, ofunayo. kuphela ukuba nexhala kwaye ndikubhide. Ukuze uphumelele ngakumbi kubo kunye nokuzihlonela kwakho, thobela eli cebiso libalulekileyo: Beka intliziyo yakho kunye nengqondo yakho kubuThixo bam, njengezibuko elikhuselekileyo kuzo zonke iintlaselo zabo ... thetha ebusweni bam obungcwele, kwaye uya kuba noxolo ... ubuThixo endikubonise amaxesha amaninzi ngetotshi entle yokholo; obo bungcwele buzalise izulu nomhlaba; obu bungcwele ihlabathi elingabaziyo, kwaye nangona kunjalo buqulathe kwaye bugqume ihlabathi kuko konke okukuquletheyo; lo buthixo, ekugqibeleni, apho ujikelezwe, kwaye ungene ngaphakathi nangaphandle, njengazo zonke izidalwa. Yiyo ke ntombam, ngobu thixo ndikwenza ubone izinto ezinkulu endikuyalela ukuba uzibhalelwe ngumlawuli wakho, oza kumxelela ukuba umnqweno wam kukuba abeke isihloko apho, into ethetha ukuba.

Ndingumbhali wale ncwadi (1).

(1) Ngokwale silumkiso okanye lo myalelo, ndandiqale ndanesihloko esithi: I-Apocalypse Entsha, okanye Ingqokelela elandelwa zizityhilelo ezenziwe kumphefumlo ongumKristu, ezichukumisa amaxesha okugqibela eCawa, njl. ; kunye ne-epigraph: Beatus qui legit… (Apoc, 13.) Igama elinye elithi apocalypse lalibonakala linamandla kakhulu kwabaninzi, nangona abanye bengaboni nto kulo ngaphandle kwegama elifanelekileyo. Ekugqibeleni, ndibona ukuba abantu babonakala bengayifuni, kungekho nto inokuthabatha indawo yayo, ndayitshintsha le litha ndayifaka le siyifundayo, nemele ibonakale ithozamile ngakumbi.

UThixo ufuna ukuba uDade abuyele kubunzulu bokungabi nto kwakhe, kwaye abe njenge-echo.

Emva koko, Bawo, iNkosi yandenza uDade wangena enzonzobileni yokungabi nto kwam. Wathi kum, ndifuna ukuba ulahlwe kwilizwi lam kunye nezibane zam, njenge-echo, ephendula yonke into ekuvayo ngaphandle kokuyiqonda. Le echo ayisiyonto kodwa yindawo engenanto neyintlango. Ke, ntombi yam, zikhuphe kulo lonke ikratshi, kulo lonke ukukhangela ukuzithanda, kuko konke okudalwe ukuba uphulukane nawe ebuThixo bam….. Ukuba ungenanto kuwe nakuzo zonke izidalwa, ilizwi lam livakala ezantsi. yentliziyo yakho, kwaye ngoko nangoko, njenge-echo, uphinda into oya kuba uyivile ngaloo nto kufuneka uyive ukuyiphinda ngexesha layo. Emva kokuba

weva i-echo isandi, yiya kuyikhangela entlango, kwaye, kwindawo engenanto

liyavakala, akuyi kubona nto khona, akuyi kuva nto khona; usathetha, aze akuphendule kwakhona. Ngaba kukho into ekhoyo kule ndawo?

Ewe, kwaye ndiyibeke apho; Ndim umbhali wayo, njengoko ndinguye kwindalo yonke…. Sebenze lo mzekeliso kuwe, ntombi yam, kwaye ungalibali ukuba awunto yanto phambi kwam, okanye ukuba awukho ngaphezu kwe-echo kuyo yonke into endikwazisa ngayo. Ndim oyimbangi yako konke onako nako konke onako; Umsebenzi wakho ke kukundimamela ngocoselelo kwaye ke ukuphinda, njenge-echo, yintoni rhoqo ongayi kuziqonda wena.

Emva kwesiqalo esabonakala kum sisihle kakhulu kwaye sithobeke kakhulu, Dade

waqala ngokuthetha nam ngoThixo nangesiqu sobuthixo, ngemfihlelo enkulu kaBathathu Emnye Oyena Ungcwele nazo zonke iimpawu zakhe zobuthixo. Ndiza kuphinda kakhulu

Ngokuthembeka kunokwenzeka oko wandixelela kona ngamaxesha amaninzi, ezama yonke indawo ukusebenzisa imimiselo yakhe, ukulandela isicwangciso sakhe, kwaye ngaphezu kwako konke ukuba angaphambuki kwiingcamango zakhe, ezi zilandelayo:

INQAKU LOKUQALA.

UBUNTU BUKATHIXO, IIMPAWU ZAKHE KWAKUBONAKALA KWAZO.

Bawo wam, iNkosi yethu ifuna ukuba ndithethe nawe ngendoqo yobuThixo; mandikuxelele into malunga neyona mfihlelo yokuqala kunye neyona mfihlelo yethu, oyena Bathathu Emnye ungcwele nothandekayo…. Kodwa njani ukuba kuviwe kobu bungangamsha buphakamileyo nobungenakuthethelelwa? Umntu uthetha ngokungaziqondi; sithetha kakhulu kwaye asithethi nto; sifana nomntwana ongekafiki

(171-175)

ukusetyenziswa kolwimi lwakhe, kwaye ongakwaziyo ukuchaza indlela aziva ngayo; njengaye, umntu akanakuchaza nantoni na ehambelana nengcamango umntu anayo ngayo: oku kunjalo kanye imeko endizifumana kuyo. Noko ke, Bawo, ndiyalelwe ukuba ndithintithe: I

Ke ngoko, ndiya kukubetha ngenqindi phantsi oko athe uThixo, wandazisa ngokwakhe, ngokuba inguThixo ngokwakhe othanda ukuva. Yibhale ke, Bawo, endikubonayo mna;

unaphakade kaThixo.

UBawo, kwimo yakhe yobuThixo nengunaphakade, oyiqondayo yonke into kwaye ekungekho nto inokuqondwa, njengokuba engaphakathi kuye nakwindlela yakhe yokuphila, uzimele geqe kubo bonke obukhoyo nobunokuthelekelela... Uyoyisa ngokusisiseko nangokungenasiphelo. phezu kwayo yonke into ekhoyo, njengoko bekunjalo ngaphambili ngamaxesha onke…. Le nkululeko yanaphakade neyongamileyo imelwe kum phantsi komfanekiselo wokumkani onamandla nothandabuzekayo, egutyungelwe ngesambatho esimenyezelayo, ehleli, isithsaba entloko, etroneni engashukumiyo; kubuso bakhe obuthandekayo omnye wabona amandla obutsha kunye nophawu lwamandulo; wayerhangqwe ngesangqa segolide awayesixhasa ngaphandle kokuphoxeka, ngasekunene nangasekhohlo, ekupheleni kweminwe yakhe... Esi sangqa, esasiphawula ubunaphakade bakhe,

Isiqalo nesiphelo, ndabona ukuba akunakwenzeka ukuba umntu enze

ukuqonda ingunaphakade, ukuba akunakwenzeka ngaye ukuba amqonde uThixo ngokwakhe, ekubeni ingunaphakade kuphela ixesha likaThixo. Ndaphinda ndabona ukuba umsebenzi wayo ngamnye ngokwawo uqulethe imfihlelo engapheliyo engenakungeneka kubo bonke ubukrelekrele bomntu. Kuya kuba njani ngendibano yabo? Kodwa kuthekani ngombhali wazo?

Abantu abangcwele.

Ndabona; Bawo, kwaye ndisabona kule ntsini yobungcwele ubungangamsha beempawu ezingapheliyo, ingqibelelo engapheliyo, ekhoyo kuzo zonke.

ngonaphakade njengoNaphakade…. Lo Thixo mkhulu akazange avele, kwaye akazange azivelise… Ndiyabona… ndibona uthando olungenasiphelo lukaBawo othe, esifubeni sakhe esithandekayo, wavelisa kwaye waveliswa ukususela kunaphakade, njengoko esavelisa kwaye esaya kwenza. ukuvelisa ngokungenasiphelo, iLizwi lakhe elithandekayo, ngendlela yobukrelekrele, njengomfanekiso ophilayo nobonakalayo wobuThixo bakhe….

Lo mfanekiso uphilayo nobalulekileyo wokubalasela oveliswa kwaza kwaveliswa kuko, ngumntu wesibini koyena Bathathu Emnye ungcwele nothandekayo; bubulumko obungadalwanga, iLizwi likaThixo elenziwe inyama, uThixo oyinyaniso nomntu oyinyaniso, olinganayo yaye uvisisana noThixo uyise, ebesoloko emanyene ngokusondeleyo nendalo yobuthixo, ubunye bobulumko, umanyano lothando nentando, ekugqibeleni. umanyano okanye ubuncinane ukuvala kunye

ziyimfuneko kwezi mpawu zantlandlolo nezibalulekileyo ezenza eyona nto iphakamileyo, ngaphandle kokuba kubekho inkcaso, isiphithiphithi, iyantlukwano okanye usukuzwano, kodwa ukulingana okugqibeleleyo, okanye endaweni yoko isazisi sokwenyani esenza zonke zibe yinto eqhelekileyo kwaye zibuyiselane.

Ndibona kwimo yobuthixo yolu thando lobuthixo lukaYise noNyana, ukuba eli ziko lomlilo elivuthayo nelingenasiphelo lothando oluhle ngonaphakade kwaye livelisa uMoya oyiNgcwele, umntu wesithathu walo Bathathu Emnye othandekayo, imveliso, umphumo okanye umphumo oyimfuneko wokubuyisela. uthando lukaBawo noNyana. Lo mntu wesithathu liziko lomlilo, intsingiselo ephilayo yolu thando lunye… UThixo oyinyaniso woThixo oyinyaniso, uthando olukhulu lwabanye abantu ababini, uMoya oyiNgcwele ungqinelana nabo yaye uyalingana kwinto yonke; enobuntu obufanayo anguye uThixo oyinyaniso nokwanguye, ngokwenene ukho kuye, nangona, njengaye ngamnye wabo, ubukho obufanelekileyo nobobuqu obumenza abe ngomnye wabantu abangokobuthixo. Le, Bawo, yintoni

benza umongo wobuThixo obuyinto enye ngokwendalo nabathathu emntwini, kangangokuba akunakwenzeka ngokupheleleyo ukuba bakhe babakho okanye bube ngenye indlela; imfihlelo yokholo eyenza isiseko senkolo yethu engcwele, nekufuneka sikholwe kwaye siyinqule, nangona ingaphezu kokufikelela kobukrelekrele bethu, ngokunjalo nako konke.

ukuqiqa apho ubani ebeya kulilize ukuyihlasela aze ayicacise.

Ukuba sele ndithe, Bawo, ukuba uMoya oyiNgcwele uluthando lukaYise noNyana, uluthando loMoya oyiNgcwele, uthando lobuqu kuye, ndithetha uthando lobuthixo olumntwisiweyo, ukuthanda kukaThixo okumntwisiweyo. 1); ngelizwi, ixesha eliphilileyo nelingunaphakade lolu thando lungunaphakade noluphilayo lwabanye abantu ababini oluphuma kubo ngothando olukhulu…. Ke, Bawo, kukho uThixo omnye kwiziqu ezithathu, nabantu abathathu kuThixo omnye. Owu imfihlelo ethandekayo engenakuqondwa, kwaye engasayi kuqondwa nasiphi na isidalwa! Obunjani bona ubunzulu!….. Ndibona kuThixo abantu abathathu abafana nooThixo abathathu, ngokubhekisele kukwahluka kobuntu; kodwa kumanyano okanye kunoko kumanyano londoqo wobuthixo, kubunye bothando nentando, ngo

(1) Yintoni i aliud charitas quam votuntas? (St.-Aug., ukusuka kuBathathu Emnye , lib. 15, 20,

isivumelwano sotshaba. )

(176-180)

ukuchazwa kweempawu zobuthixo zikaYise, uNyana noMoya oyiNgcwele, ndibona uThixo omnye kuphela kubantu abathathu abahluke kakhulu; mnye kwanguThixo omnye, engenakwahlukano, engenambambano, engenalusukuzwano; ukuze xa iLizwi likaThixo liba yinyama, ndiyabona ukuba akazange ayeke ukumanyana

esifubeni sobuThixo kuYise noMoya oyiNgcwele; njengoko naye eqhubeka emanyene nabo, nangona ekhona kwaye ekho ngokwenene kwisakramente yoMthendeleko; kwangokunjalo ndiyabona, ukuba uMoya oyiNgcwele akazahlulanga kuYise, nakuye uNyana, ehla phezu kwabapostile;

yaye akazahluli kuyo ngokulawula iCawa njengoko ebenzile ukuza kuthi ga ngoku yaye uya kwenjenjalo ukutyhubela ixesha layo.

Ubungenasiphelo beempawu zobuthixo. Umbono ongaphaya kwendalo awayenawo lo Dade wophawu olulodwa lothando.

Ah! Bawo, zingaphi iimfihlakalo endizibona zivaliwe kweyokuqala yeemfihlakalo zethu, kweyona mfihlakalo iphakamileyo yoBathathu Emnye ongcwele nothandekayo! Hayi! owayenokubuyisela konke okwalatha kum uJ.-C. ngokusingisele kwinani elingenasiphelo leempawu ezingcwele zemo yobuthixo enophawu lwazo loBuThixo!... Ewe, Bawo, ubukhulu obufana nobunaphakade bobuThixo! UBuThixo buzotywe kuzo zonke iimpawu eziphuma kubo. Umzekelo, kuphawu lothando lobuthixo, apha, Bawo, yinto endayibonayo kwaye ndayiqonda ngombono wamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo owafika kum kwiminyaka engamashumi amabini okanye engamashumi amathathu eyadlulayo.

Ndizifumene ndibambeke ngokupheleleyo kukucamngca kophawu olunye lothando lukaThixo, apho ndabona khona bonke ubunzulu bobuthixo kunye nabo bonke ubungangamsha boMntu oPhakamileyo, kwaye oko kwimbono nangendlela engenakwenzeka. ukuze ndiqonde, makhe ndicacise. Ndingakuxelela, nangona kunjalo, ukuba ndambona uThixo kolu phawu lunye, ngokokude ndikholelwa ukuba lunokubonwa kwaye lwaziwe sisidalwa esiphilayo; Ke ngoko ndambona uThixo eluthandweni lwakhe, kwaye olu phawu lothando lobuthixo lwandibonisa njengobuso bukaThixo. Ndithini na, buso bukaThixo! ah! Ndiyakuqinisekisa ukuba andizange ndimbone,

obu buso buhle, kwaye ndiyoyika ukuba andisoze ndibubone…. Ndibone ntoni? Andinanto yakuthetha, andinayo imiqathango yokukunikela oko ndikubonileyo... Bawo, ndambona uThixo enothando kuzo zonke iimpawu zakhe, kwaye ezi mpawu zahlukeneyo ndazibona ngaloo mzuzu kuphela ngokunxulumene nothando…. Ndivumele, Bawo, ndiphefumle kancinci ndiqokelele

Iimbono zam kunye neemvakalelo zam, kungcono ukulandela ukukhanya okundikhokelayo nokufanele kundikhumbuze apha ngako konke endakubonayo kuBunkulunkulu.

Emva kokuphefumla malunga nemizuzu emibini, uDade waqhubeka ethetha, ndaza ndabhala, into enje:

UBawo, ndizifumana ngoko ndimangaliswe kukumangala kuko konke endikubonileyo kuThixo ngothando lwakhe lobuthixo, kubonakala kum ukuba bendifuna ukuziphazamisa ngaphandle kokuba ndimke kwinto endihleli kuyo ngokuvumayo. Ndawaphosa amehlo am macala onke kumboniso wendalo, kwaye kuzo zonke izinto awazisa kum ndabona kuphela uthando lukaThixo; yonke into yandinika umfanekiso ogqwethekileyo wayo, kwaye akukho nto yayikho ngaphandle kothando: kwakubonakala kum ukuba isidalwa ngasinye sasilahlekelwe bubuntu baso kwaye sasingasekho ngaphandle kothando nangothando lobuthixo; ukuba yonke into esehlabathini iluthando lodwa, nehlabathi ngokwalo liveliswe luthando.

Uthando lufumaneka nakwizohlwayo zabangalungisiyo.

Ndizibona ndilahlekile ke ngoko kwaye ndingene kolu lwandlekazi lothando, ndanobuganga bokuzibhekisa eNkosini yethu ndathi kuyo: Ndiyayibona, Thixo wam! yonke into elapha ngezantsi ibhengeza uthando lwakho; kodwa ngelishwa! Ndivumele ndiyimele kuwe, ingekuko ukuba ndicekise ubulungisa bakho nangayiphi na indlela: kodwa uthando lwakho alufumaneki ekuqeqesheni kwabo bangenakucikideka, nakuko konke ukuxela ingqumbo yakho ngobulungisa.

aboni abangaguqukiyo, ngakumbi emva kokuba bevele phambi kwenu. Ngale nto, Bawo, nantsi into endiyazisiweyo yiNkosi kwaye endikucelayo ukuba uyibhale ngqo:

Ndiphila ngokucacileyo kobu bucacileyo bothando lobuthixo ndandinjalo

behleli nje, ukuba abo bangenamandla bawa kuphela bawela esihogweni ngenxa yokuswela uthando kubo. Ewe, Bawo, iNkosi yethu yandenza

baqonde ukuba bagwetywe kuphela ngenxa yokungamthandi, nokuba xa wayemba isihogo wenza ngothando oluvuthayo, ngoko ke, kunye nomona wokumanyanisa uloyiso lwakhe nangayiphi na indleko. Ukuba bekungekuko ngenkululeko yothando olusulungekileyo, makube buncinci ngoloyiko olukhululekileyo nolulungileyo lokuwela emlilweni omiselwe ukuphindezela uthando oludelekileyo.

Ukwenza ukuba iqondwe ngcono, Bawo, olu thando lungcwele lundinika uthelekiso lwendoda emthanda kakhulu umfazi wayo, athetha ngaye.

ufuna ukuthandwa kuphela. Uthando lwakhe alunakumelana nosukuzwano okanye iyantlukwano, kuba uthanda ngokugeza; uyathandaza, uyadika, uyagrogrisa, kube ngcono

khusela intliziyo yento ethandwayo. Ukoyika nje ukungathembeki kumnika eyona nto ibalulekileyo; wongezelela kwizithembiso nasekunikeleni ingqalelo ukoyikwa kwesohlwayo; kuba oku uqamba izohlwayo ezoyikekayo athi azibonakalise kuye

amehlo isixhobo sonke esoyikisa, hleze azibhence kuso.

(181-185)

Kodwa ukuba umfazi usabela kwinzondelelo enjalo kuphela ngokungabi nambulelo, ukuchaswa kunye nokungathembeki, ngoko ke uthando olunomsindo luvutha ngumsindo ngokomlinganiselo njengoko beludlamkile kwaye lunyanisekile ngakumbi. Siyazi, kubunzima bezithonga aziphetheyo, ukuba luthando olungenasiphelo oluziphindezela kwingqumbo engapheliyo ayifumeneyo. Ke, Bawo, uthando luhlala lusebenza kuyo yonke into, kwaye

isihogo ngokwaso sisiphumo sothando kuphela: esona sivakalelo, kakhulu

ukutyumza kunye nezona ntlungu zibuhlungu umntu azifumanayo apho, kukuba ungaze uphinde ukwazi ukumthanda lowo wayefuna ukuba nguye ngonaphakade kunye naye.

isidalwa, kwaye owayenze yonke into ukuba afanelwe uthando lwakhe olungunaphakade. Kukuba, Bawo, ukusigcina kweli lishwa lokugqibela nelona lithandabuzekayo, ukuba olu thando lungcwele lusipeyinte imizobo eyoyikekayo kunye nezoyikiso, kwaye lusathetha nathi apha ngelizwi lam.

Ukwahlulwa kweempawu zobuthixo, nomanyano lwazo kolo thando.

Kwaba njalo, Bawo, kuzo zonke ezinye iimpawu zikaThixo ezingenakubalwa kwezona zidalwa zikrelekrele… INkosi yethu ke ngoko yandibonisa ukuba nganye kuzo imele umfanekiselo kaThixo nobungangamsha bobuthixo ngokupheleleyo. rhoqo ngokunxulumene nolu phawu ngokukodwa. Ndithe umfanekiso kaThixo nobungangamsha bakhe kuzo zonke iimpawu zakhe ezingunaphakade, kwaye yayikukuzenza ndiviwe; kuba, Bawo, yazi kakuhle, ukuba akukho mfanekiso uqingqiweyo, akukho mifanekiselo, namifanekiso, namfanekiso, namfanekiso, akukho nto isondelayo kuyo; zonke izinto ziphilileyo kuThixo.

kuyo yonke indawo yinyani kunye nobomi kuphela. Kuphawu ngalunye lumelwe ngaloo ndlela, kodwa ngendlela engaqondakaliyo, zonke ezinye iimpawu eziphantsi kobudlelwane bezokuqala ezongamelayo kwaye zibonakala zizifunxa zonke, ngaphandle kokuba kubekho ukubhideka. Oku koko uJ.-C. wandibonisa kona. Ngu

umzekelo, kwakhona, phantsi kophawu lwenceba sibona ngonaphakade, ubukhulu, ubulungisa kunye nazo zonke ezinye, kodwa rhoqo phantsi kobudlelwane benceba, njengoko sithe ngothando; ukuze yonke into ibonakale

inceba kuThixo, kwaye akukho nto ibonakala ingenanceba, nokuba kunjalo

obona bulungisa buqatha. Kuyafana nangobulungisa, amandla, ubulumko, ukuba sibuthatha ngokwahlukeneyo (1).

Ngaloo ndlela zonke ezi mpawu zidityanisiwe kunye nocwangco olugqwethekileyo nolungenakucingeleka, kwaye zimanyaniswe kubunye besiqu esingcwele… Owu Bawo, ndiyaphinda ndithi, zingaphi iimfihlelo kwimfihlelo enye! Baya kuhlala

ukuncoma, ukucingisisa kwabo bonke abangcwele kuwo onke amaphakade, ngaphandle kokuba bakwazi ukuwugqiba lo mthombo ungapheliyo wolonwabo lwabo... Abasikelelekileyo, u-J.-C. umdla. Abayi kuba nolonwabo olukhulu kunoko

ukucinga ngoThixo, indibano yazo zonke iimfezeko ezimanyaneyo aya kuthi uThixo avuyele ukuzityhila kubo ukuze anelise ukulangazelela nokuvutha kothando lwabo… Olunjani lona uthutho lovuyo novuyo!… Olunjani lona ulonwabo olugqibeleleyo nolugqibelele! Enjani yona iparadesi kwiparadesi enye!

Ulonwabo lwabaNgcwele. Ukungaqondwa kukaThixo.

Ngale nto, Bawo, ndikhumbula ukuba ndisemncinci kakhulu, kwaye ndicamngca ngenye imini ngobungangamsha obungcwele kunye nemfezeko,

Ndaziyeka ndacinga ngezinto ezibuhlungu, nto leyo ngokungathandabuzekiyo uThixo ayivumeleyo yandivulela ithuba lokundicacisela inyaniso ethuthuzelayo. Ndandicinga ukuba, xa ndiseZulwini, ndiya kukwazi ukuyibona iNkosi elungileyo kuphela ngobunzima obukhulu; ukuba ndingaze ndibe nalo ulonwabo lokuthetha

ndedwa naye, ukuvula intliziyo yam kuye kube kanye, njengoko ndandifuna kakhulu. Ezi ngcinga zilusizi zandikhathaza ngokusengqiqweni; kodwa lowo

Ngaba injongo yayilungile ngokwaneleyo ukubabhangisa, ngokundenza ndibone ngokucacileyo ukuba ngamnye osikelelweyo eZulwini uyonwabela ngokukhululekileyo ukuqhelana noThixo  wakhe, ngokungathi nguye kuphela uThixo awayefuna ukubabalwa ngeli lungelo; kwaye  oko

Le nkululeko yonwabileyo yenza eyona nto idlamkileyo, eyona isengqiqweni kwaye inkulu kulonwabo lwabaNgcwele, kuba inika uyolo lukaThixo ngokwakhe, oluqulathe undoqo wobungangamsha obupheleleyo. Ukusuka apho lonke unxunguphalo lwam lwaphela, kwaye olona vuyo lumsulwa lwayibamba intliziyo yam, eyonwabele kwangaphambili lonke olu lonwabo lukhulu olwalunethemba lokuluthemba.

Masibuyele ke ngoko kwakhona, Bawo, kolu lwazi luvuyisayo aya kuthi uThixo asinike ngalo ngokwakhe, ngokunxibelelana nathi, kwindawo yokuhlala abasikelelekileyo, kuba asinakucinga kakhulu ngayo kwaye sizixakekise ngayo.

Ndimangalisiwe kwaye ndikhwankqisiwe kuko konke endakubona ebuZulwini, ngokusingisele kulonwabo uThixo alunikela kuye, kubo bonke abaNgcwele baseZulwini, ndandisendivile entliziyweni yam usizi oluncinane lokuba uThixo, omkhulu kangaka, wayenenkululeko ngakum. isidalwa sakhe, ukusa kwinqanaba lokumqwebela bonke ubuncwane bakhe kwanobuntu bakhe obungenasiphelo, ngaphandle kokuzigcinela nantoni na. Thixo wam, ndathi kuye, Uya kuzihluba na zonke iimpahla zakho, neento zonke?

(186-190)

Ngaba ufuna ukubenza batyebe abanyulwa bakho?... Ngaba uyafuna ukubaphakamisela kuwe, okanye uthobe kubo, uhambe ngokulinganayo

Isidalwa?… Owu ubukhulu obugqwesileyo! wena, otrone yakho ingashukumiyo ihleli ngonaphakade, uzenza njani ukuba ufikelele ekungento yanto?…. Laliphi ikhaya lakho phambi kwamaxesha onke, nakweliphakade likhulu, lingenasiqalo, lingenasiphelo?

Ndaza ke, Bawo, ndeva ilizwi lisithi kum: “Mntwana wam, ndihleli ngaphakathi kwam, apho ndisahleli khona ngoku, nalapho ndihleli khona, ndingasuki; Kholwa intombi yam, wahlabela mgama wathi, ndinethamsanqa elilelam kunye nobukumkani apho indawo yam yokuhlala endiyithandayo ikhoyo, ibhotwe likaThixo apho ndizigcinele ndedwa indlu endifaneleyo: akukho sidalwa sinokungena kulo; obu bukumkani okanye eli bhotwe liphezulu kunezona ngqondi ziphakamileyo, kunokuba iZulu liphakanyiswe phezu komhlaba…. Likhaya lam lanaphakade eli.... Kulapho ndinguThixo ofihlakeleyo nongaziwayo, uThixo ongenakuqonda. Kulapho zonke iimpawu zamandla am onke kunye nobuThixo bam ziya kuhamba, ezaziwa kwaye ziqondwa kuphela kum. Hayi, ntombi yam, ndim kunye nam kuphela obona inqaku lobukhulu bam. okungapheliyo kunye nobudlelwane bemfezeko yam, njengemithombo yokubonelela kwam; nantoni na engengoThixo ayinakufikelela kuyo. Ndim ongunaphakade, owenza ngonaphakade; Ndibala yonke imizuzu yayo: iphambi kwam njengenqaku.

Uthando lulodwa ukususela kunaphakade luye lwaba yintshukumisa yokudalwa kwehlabathi nokuvela kweLizwi.

Ngoko ke, Bawo, ngonaphakade uThixo uye wakwazi ukuzimela kwaye wafumana ukonwaba kwakhe ekuyonwabeleni kwakhe. Kuwo onke amaphakade wamkela imvana exheliweyo iindumiso ezimfaneleyo. Kuwo onke amaphakade ungcamle kuye ukonwaba, imbeko, imincili, ulonwabo ekugqibeleni olulingana nobukhulu bakhe obungasifanelanga. Kodwa, njengathi

Njengoko sesitshilo, lo Thixo, uzele luthando nokulunga, akazange afune ukonwaba eyedwa naphakade; kwinqanaba elithile kwixesha lakhe (ukuba ubani unokuthi ubude bakhe bunengongoma), wazimisela ukuqonda ngaphandle koyilo olukhulu awayelucinge ngonaphakade, nokuphunyezwa kwalo okwakumiselwe kwimimiselo yakhe engunaphakade. Ngoko ke wayefuna ukutsalela izidalwa kubulize ukuze zabelane naye ngandlel’ ithile ulonwabo lwakhe, ngaphandle kokumenzakalisa enoba kubungangamsha bakhe okanye kulonwabo lwakhe; ngoko ke uwuthulule njengomlambo, phezu kwabanyuliweyo, awabadalela uzuko lwakhe; Kodwa, uBawo, nangona ekhululekile, nokuba ulahleka kangakanani na kolu lonwabo.

iqondwa ngokugqibeleleyo naso nasiphi na isidalwa nasiphi na, kungekhona nangalowo ugqwesileyo kubo bonke ngomgangatho wakhe obalaseleyo kaMama kaThixo, nokuba intsingiselo yakhe, njengazo zonke iimfezeko eziphuma kuyo, iya kuhlala ikho, kubo bonke abanye ngaphandle kwakhe.  imfihlakalo engangenekiyo.

Bawo, eyona nto indimangalisayo nendikhwankqisayo ngakumbi kule mfihlakalo ibalaseleyo nengaqondakaliyo kukubona ubukhulu bobu bukhazikhazi bobungangamsha busihla emhlabeni bukwiLizwi Lenyama…. Ukuba ukubulaleka kobomi basemhlabeni kunye neembandezelo kunye nokuthotywa kokufa kwakhe ziyimiphumo yokuzalwa kwakhe, kwaye akukho nto xa ithelekiswa nayo, angathini na uThixo omkhulu kangaka ukuba abe mncinci kangaka?... Hlala, Bawo, musa ukumangaliswa; xa siqwalasela ngengqalelo injongo neentshukumisa ezinkulu zothumo lwakhe, xa sivavanya ukubaluleka okupheleleyo koku

Ukusondela kuThixo, umntu uya kuziva ukuba, ngengqiqo ethile, akukho nto ininzi kakhulu kuyo yonke into awayenzayo, kwaye kwakuyimfuneko, ukuba umntu unokuthi, ukuthotywa, iintlungu nokufa kukaThixo, ukuze alungise ngokufanelekileyo uzuko lukaThixo olugqatse ngokungafanelekiyo.

UJ.-C. wayenobulungisa bobuthixo ukuba banelise, ingqumbo yobuthixo imxolisele, umntu axolelane noThixo wakhe oyinyaniso nomlamli okuphela kwakhe phakathi kwezulu nomhlaba, waluthabathela kuye unobangela wohlanga loluntu, walihlawula lonke ityala lakhe.

ngoku nakwixesha elizayo, waqinisekisa ngokusilela kwethu okuqhelekileyo, wazenza uxanduva kubo bonke; kwaye kunokuthiwa ekwanelisekeni akunikileyo, ukuba udlulile imida yobulungisa obuchanekileyo kwaye obungqongqo, akadlulanga iminqweno yentliziyo engayazi imida okanye imilinganiselo xa imalunga nokuqinisekisa ulonwabo lwethu lwanaphakade  . Ngelizwi nje, ukuba wenze okuninzi kakhulu ngenxa yozuko lwakhe, usenokwenza okuncinci kakhulu ngothando lwakhe. Kodwa okunjani kona ukuthotywa kobu bukhazikhazi bobungangamsha  !

Kungesi sizathu sinye, Bawo, ukuba usazithobile ngokunzulu kuMthendeleko othandekayo apho uthando lwakhe lumgcina ngokuqhubekayo kwimeko yexhoba elikhungayo ukuze anelise ngokufanelekileyo ubulungisa bukaThixo.

(191-195)

uyise. Ikwalolu thando lunye oluhlala luchasa ilizwi legazi lakhe kulwaphulo-mthetho lwethu; owenza inyama yakhe ethandekayo ibe likhaka elingenakufikelelwa kuzo zonke iintolo zeentshaba zethu, njengakwimitolo yempindezelo yobuthixo; ungqameko olungenakufikelelwa ngumbane, ungabi nabuganga bakuwuhlasela…. Ewe, luthando olungenasiphelo kwisidalwa sakhe esagubungela umhlaba ngegazi likaThixo, ukufihla ingqumbo yezulu… Owu bukhulu! oh

imbubhiso! Owu, imfihlakalo engangenekiyo kuzo kanye iingelosi ezingenanto yakuthetha ngayo ngaphandle kokuthula nokudumisa!… Kuku, Bawo, le ntshabalalo imangalisayo yeLizwi Elisenyameni elathi ilizwi loPhezukonke landikhumbuza ngenye imini, lisithi kum: Ndabona. Athobeke phambi kwam amandla am, nawam

Ubukhulu nobulungisa bam akusafuneki nto.

Amandla kaThixo ekudalweni kwehlabathi nasekuyilweni kweengqondo.

Kwaba ke ngoko, Bawo, kuphela xa kuthe kwakholeka kwintando yobuthixo ukuyimisela, ukuba lo Mntu uphakamileyo nongenakufikeleleka waphuma kuye ngokwakhe, ukuba kuvumelekile ukuthetha ngolo hlobo, ngokubonakalalisa ngaphandle kweli gunya lingenanto lixhathisayo, nelingenakuchaswa. ayinako ukufumana imiqobo engoyiswayo koko ikufuna ngokupheleleyo. Yazibonakalalisa kumzamo wokuqala owawungumsebenzi wobugcisa; Ndithetha ukudalwa kwemizimba nemimoya: UThixo wathi, kwaye konke kwenzeka; wathanda, kwaye yonke into yenziwa. Wathetha kwinto eyayingekabikho, yaye into eyayingekabikho yaliva ilizwi lakhe. Ubiza izulu nomhlaba, kwaye izulu nomhlaba ziphuma kuwo

akhonto yokumphendula. Akukho nto imangalisayo kubukho babo, kwaye nangona imangalisa ivakalelwa kukuba yonke indalo ibumba esifubeni sam.

Ngokulula okufanayo uThixo udibanisa ielementi, imprints the

intshukumo yendalo, inika indawo nganye indawo ekufanele ihlale kuyo yonke into enkulu, imisela loo mithetho ingaguqukiyo nengaguquguqukiyo yendalo, elawula indalo iphela, nalapho umbhali azigcinele yena yedwa ukuba aphambuke.

Lo, Bawo, ngumsebenzi weentsuku ezintandathu ekudalweni kwemizimba; kodwa kwakhona uThixo wandenza ndabona indalo yemimoya nemiphefumlo phantsi komzobo weglowubhu yokukhanya ephuma kuyo ngokulandelelanayo iintlantsi eziqaqambileyo ezinobukhulu obahlukeneyo, ezazihamba imigama eyahlukahlukeneyo ukuya kwimizimba ephilayo. Kwathiwa kum: Kukubunjwa kweengqondo oku. Yonke into ayenzileyo uThixo, ilungile yaye igqibelele kangangoko kunokwenzeka; nakuphi na ukungafezeki okukhoyo kuphuma kumsebenzi ngokwawo; Le mimoya igqibeleleyo, ndixelelwa, ndithetha ngemiphefumlo, ingcoliswe kuphela kukumanyana kwayo nemizimba abayiphilisayo, kwaye oku kungcola kuphuma emntwini kuphela.

Inkqubo ecekisekayo yokumiselwa kwangaphambili, ekufuneka iphinde ivele eCaweni, ibhideke kwangaphambili.

Ukuziqinisekisa ngcono ngale nyaniso inkulu, kwaye kwangaxeshanye ndibhide, kwangaphambili, inkqubo elisikizi ekufuneka ngenye imini ivele kwakhona ekumiselweni kwangaphambili, nantsi into endiyibonileyo ekukhanyeni kukaThixo; kuba, yazini, uBawo, noThixo undazise ukuba, xeshikweni ubukumkani bomchasi-Kristu, oko kukuthi, ekupheleni kwebandla, uya kuvela esifubeni sakhe, ihlelo labantu abazaziyo. kubuchule bokwenza impazamo yonke imibala yenyaniso; amadoda athi, ngeengcinga zawo ezibubuxoki nobuqhetseba bobudemon nobujijekileyo, aya kuhlasela ezona nyaniso zingenakuphikiswa nezingqiniweyo zoKholo, kwaneempawu zobuthixo.

Ukumiselwa kwangaphambili kwabangcwele nokugwetywa kwabangendawo kuya kuba lithafa ledabi, nanjengesiseko senkqubo yabo yokungakhathali. Inkohlakalo yabangendawo iya kufikelela ekubeni uThixo abe neemvakalelo ezigwenxa nezingekho sikweni njengezabo. Baza kuthi, ngokomzekelo, washiya uAdam inkululeko yakhe yokuzikhethela kuphela ngenxa yokuba wayesazi okanye ebone kwangaphambili ukuphathwa kakubi awayeza kukwenza ngako kunye nenzala yakhe; endaweni yoko wasisusa kwaeso sibabalo koyingcwele

Virgo, nakwabanye abathandayo abanike ngamalungelo, ngaphandle kwembalelwano okanye ukufaneleka kwabo. Ukusuka apho baya kugqiba ukuba uThixo ungoyena nobangela, okanye ubuncinci, ishwangusha labachasiweyo, njengoko ephakathi okanye ngoko nangoko umbhali wabo bonke ubugwenxa babo. Konke

ukuba, baya kuthi, ngokuyimfuneko yayiyinxalenye yesicwangciso sakhe. Ngokufana nezo zilo zinyanyekayo eziqhayisa ngokuba neentolongo ezizaliswe ngamaxhoba obuzwilakhe, kunye nokuzibona zingqongwe ngamakhoboka kwaye zinqulwa sisihlwele sabantu abazithandayo, uThixo, baya kuthi, okanye kunoko uzwilakhe wezulu, uzukiswa ngokulinganayo ngeshwangusha labo abohlwaya ngaphandle kwesiphoso sabo, nangolonwabo lwabo abavuza ngaphandle kokufaneleka kwabo, ekubeni yonke into yabonwa kwangaphambili yaza yamiswa ukususela kumaphakade onke, ngaphandle kwenkululeko yokuzikhethela komntu owakha wangena kuyo ngelize. Oku kuya kuba yimfundiso yabo engapheliyo.

Imeko ka-Adam ngaphambi kokungathobeli kwakhe, kunye neyeNtombi Enyulu esikelelekileyo. Okufunwa nguwe.

Ukuze ke ngoko ndiphendule ezi zinyeliso zoyikekayo, kwaye ndibhideke kwangaphambili le nkqubo ilizothe yobungendawo, uThixo wandenza ndabona imeko yelizwe.

umntu wokuqala ngaphambi kokungathobeli kwakhe, kunye nokweNtombi Enyulu esikelelekileyo ubomi bakhe bonke. Yaba kanye imeko yokubheja efanayo kwaye ke kwakhona. UThixo wayezidale zakhululeka ngokupheleleyo ekungcoleni kwaye kwanoko

ukunqwenela; kodwa ukubanika ithuba neendlela zokubafanele, kwaye bangabalahleki;

(196-200)

wayebanike inkululeko yokuzikhethela nenkululeko yokuzikhethela, eyathi ngayo iNtombi Enyulu esikeleyo yasebenzisa okungcwele ngolo hlobo, ngokuphapha kwayo nenkathalo yayo, ukukhula ngokungapheziyo ekulungelweni nasekuthandweni; ngoxa uAdam walisebenzisa kakubi ngokukhululekileyo nangesiphoso sakhe, ekubeni wenza ngokucingisisayo, nxamnye nesazela sakhe nokukhusela okwaziwayo kukaThixo wakhe; akathobela, ukuba akunjalo ngeenceba ezininzi, ubuncinane ngeenceba ezingaphezulu kunokwaneleyo ukumlondoloza ekuweni kwakhe, nakuwo onke amashwa alandelayo.

Apho kufuneka sigqibe kwelokuba, ngaphandle kwamalungelo akhe, iNtombi Enyulu ifanele, ngenxa yokulunga kwayo kunye nokuhambelana kwayo nobabalo, isithsaba sozuko anaso, nangona ingazange ngokwayo ilufanele ubabalo oluyanyaniswa nomgangatho wayo kamama kaThixo. ; ngeli lixa, ngokucatshukelwa kwakhe, uAdam wayefanelwe sisohlwayo awasifumana kuye, nasasifumanayo kwinzala yakhe, ekubeni yayingumthetho owenziweyo.

Imeko awayeyimiselwe ngumdali wakhe, Wayeyazi, yayiyiyo

kuxhomekeke kuye ukuba afane nalo ngokulusebenzisa ngokufanelekileyo ubabalo awalunikwa nguThixo ngenxa  yoku.

UThixo akanakuba ngumqambi wesono: ufuna ngokwenene usindiso lwabantu bonke.

Kububuxoki ke ngoko, njengoko sibona, ukuba uThixo ungumbangi wesono somntu, ekubeni ngokumnika inkululeko yakhe yokuzikhethela, wasalela ngezoyikiso ezoyikekayo. Ngaba bekungayi kuba kudlala ngokungafanelekanga ngobuthathaka bakhe ukuba, ngokumgrogrisa, wayengazange amnike amandla okuziphepha?

Uyintoni umphumo? Ah! ngokungathandabuzekiyo, uThixo wayebeke entliziyweni yakhe, njengakwikaMariya, kuthando lombhali wayo, ukuthiywa okukhulu kokungathobeli, notyekelo olunamandla lokuthembeka; ukoyikeka kwemvelo kobungendawo nako konke ukuphambuka kuzo zonke izidima ezaziya kuba ngumgaqo wokuziphatha kwakhe. Utyekelo oluvuyisayo lokuba isono sakhe asizange sicinywe

isekhona kuthi ngokupheleleyo!…. Ngoko ke wayenazo zonke iindlela kunye nayo yonke inzala enokwenzeka yokuphepha isiphoso sakhe kunye nesohlwayo sakhe; kodwa, njengoko senditshilo, kwafuneka ukuba kubekho ukufaneleka kulo, ukuba afaneleke okanye abe sesichengeni somvuzo woMdali wakhe. Wathi ngenxa yoko wamnika  inkululeko yokuzikhethela, awathi wacela imbeko kuye, ngaphambi kokuba amqinise ngobabalo, ukuze abe nento yokubuyekeza kuye; kunye nolindelo lwempatho-gadalala awayenokuthi u-Adam ayenze ngoku evela eZulwini kwakungenakuphembelela nangayiphi na indlela inkululeko ngokusisiseko nokuzimisela ngokuzithandela ngokupheleleyo kwicala lakhe. Bawo, oku kubonakala kulula kwaye kuyindalo  kum.

Kungoko ke, ngobubele boThixo omnye, aboni abakhulu basenobabalo losindiso abanokuthi bangenelwe kulo; kanye njengokuba abangcwele abakhulu banokuchasa uThixo kwaye basebenzise kakubi ubabalo abanika lona.

inikwe…. Kungayiphi indlela, kuko konke oku, ihambo kaThixo yayiya kuba netyala? Yintoni esinokuyibona apho engalunganga, isengqiqweni kwaye injalo

iyimfuneko kumyalelo osekiweyo?…. Akunjalo na ezona zigwebo zoyikekayo? Yaye liliphi ilungelo abanalo abo banetyala lokumcela?

akhawunti, ngokungathi kufuneka azibuyisele?…. Okuqinisekileyo, Bawo, nento ekufuneka sibambelele kuyo sonke, nokuba sithini na ukuqiqa, kukuba uThixo ufuna usindiso lwethu ngentando enyanisekileyo, enyanisekileyo nesisigxina; kukuba usinike zonke iindlela zokuwusebenzisa ngobabalo lwakhe, ngokwemeko esizifumana sikuyo, nokuba uya kubuza kuphela ingxelo kuye nabani na ngendlela aya kumnika yona; Ekugqibeleni ke akukho bani uya kohlwaywa ngaphandle kwesiphoso sakhe, okanye avuzwe engakhange afanelwe.

Ukuba umntu ebengonanga, iLizwi ngelabakho umntu. Imeko yokungabi natyala komntu kule ngcamango, kunye nexesha elifutshane lehlabathi.

Ukuba umntu wayengonanga, uluntu lwalungayi kuba, njengoko lunjalo, luphantsi kokungazi, kwiinkxwaleko zobomi, okanye kwimfuneko yokufa, okuyimiphumo yempazamo yalo. Noko ke, ngekwakuya kuba yimfuneko ngoBukuThixo ukuba enziwe umntu, kungekhona ukuhlawulela ihlabathi, kodwa ukuze alungiselele ukungonelwa kwesidalwa, aze enze umntu afanelekele indawo awayesingise kuyo nokuyoliswa koThixo wakhe. Yiyo loo nto ukuzalwa kweLizwi kwaqiniselwa kususela kunaphakade kwizicwangciso zikaThixo, kwaze kwayilwa inxalenye ebalulekileyo yecebo lomsebenzi wakhe; kodwa kule ngcamango yokuba umntu akonanga, ubuThixo osenyameni ngebungazange bubandezeleke: U-J.

sibe nako, kangangoko sinokuba nako. Yiloo nto ke ndaqonda ukuba yayimalunga nokuvela kweLizwi lakhe uThixo awayefuna ukuthetha nam ngalo

amazwi awandivisileyo, athi, Ndiwabonile amandla am ethotywe phambi kwam, nobukhulu bam ayisenakumbi, ngokuba undigwebele.

imbeko. Kodwa emva kokungathobeli komntu kwakuyimfuneko ngokupheleleyo ukuba uMhlawuleli wakhe abandezeleke okuthile, ukuze angxengxezele ingqumbo aze anelise okusesikweni kobuthixo, nangona kwakungeyomfuneko ukuba abandezeleke ngendlela awayebandezeleke ngayo.

Ukuba umntu ebengonanga, inkanuko ibingayi kuzenza ivakale emilenzeni yakhe, okanye ivukele ezingqondweni. Umzimba wakhe, njengengqondo nentliziyo yakhe, ngewawuphantsi komthetho wobuthixo; kuyo yonke into ebeya kuzicingela kuye kuphela ukuthanda kukaThixo wakhe. Umnqweno kuphela woku

(201-205)

ukuthobela, ngokuzalisa inani labanyuliweyo, bekuya kumzisa ekuvelisweni kwakhe, ngaphandle kokuba abe namava nakweyiphi na intshukumo yenkanuko. Esi senzo somsebenzi besiya kuba sincomeka kuye njengendumiso nendumiso eyayiza kuba ngowona msebenzi wakhe uqhelekileyo.

Kukuvukelwa kweengqondo zethu, hayi ucalucalulo lwemfundo, oluphembelela kuthi eli hlazo lendalo lokubonakala lize, ihlazo elikhula ngokwaluphala.

nangona inayo nayiphi na, kwaye isabophelela abona bantu bakhohlakeleyo ukuba bagqume oko ababekufihlile abahedeni bethu bokuqala phantsi kwamagqabi.

ngoko nangoko emva kokona kwabo. Yeha! kungelo xesha kanye apho babelazi elihlazo silifa, kwaye siya kufana nabo, ukuba abazange balahle. UThixo undenze ndakubona ukungabi natyala nokungafihlisi oko

besiya kuba sisinxibo sethu, phantsi kwesikhanyiso esithile esithambileyo ebeya kuthi imizimba yethu ijikelezwe ngaso, kwaye phantsi komqadi wokuthozama okuthandekayo, bebeya kukhuselwa kuko konke ukungcola. Isono sakrazula esi sigqubuthelo singekho semthethweni, kwaye aboni banyanzeleka ukuba basibonelele ngezinye izigqubuthelo ezingazange zisithathele indawo. Umntu ebeya kuphila ngaphandle kokudinwa, ukugula, ukwaluphala nalo lonke uhlobo lwentlungu.

nobulwelwe, wada uThixo wamqinisa elubabalweni, waza walimisela ikamva lakhe ngonaphakade, ngokuphumla okungunaphakade nolonwabo olungunaphakade. Isiqhamo somthi wobomi ngesasele sihlaziyekile ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kwaye sivuselele ukumila kwawo.

Ukuba umntu ebengonanga, kukho isizathu esibambekayo sokukholelwa ukuba ihlabathi ngelaliphelile kudala, yaye apha, Bawo, sisizathu sokuba singakwazi

nika, kwaye endikholelwa ukuba ihambelana nokukhanya okundikhanyiselayo. Inani le

abanyuliweyo bebanjwe kwimimiselo kaThixo, ihlabathi kufuneka linyamezele lide elo nani lizaliseke. Ngoku, onke amashwa alahlekileyo angena kuyo ngelize. Kuyimfuneko ngoko ke, ukuba ubude bexesha bugqibe oko izihlwele zingakulungiseleliyo; kananjalo uThixo undenza ndibone, ukuba konke ukwenzele abamiselwa ngenxa engaphambili; Ulawulo luka-J.-C. lungunaphakade kunye nobubingeleli bakhe; kwaye imele ukumnika ubukumkani nabalawulwa, ukuba amandla kaThixo amkhupha umntu entweni engento, kwaye ubulumko bakhe buyamlawula de kungasweli namnye kwabo bamele bamqonde.

inkokeli yabo kwaye baqulunqe inkundla yakhe ngonaphakade. Ngoko ke, ngabo banyuliweyo bodwa, elithi ihlabathi libekho ngenxa yabo, ekubeni lenzelwe bona. Kukwanjalo ke ekunqabeni kwabo, njengokuba kwanakwinkitha enkulu yabasilwayo, ukuba netyala lokuba abe engekagqibi.

Kodwa umntu wona, yaye ulwaneliseko lukaYesu Kristu luye lwaba yimfuneko.

Ekugqibeleni, Bawo, umntu wonile, kwaye ngokungathobeli kwakhe uye warhuqela lonke isizukulwana sakhe esilishwa kwihlazo lakhe, elandela isoyikiso kunye nomthetho obekwe ngumdali wakhe. Wasigquma sonke phantsi kwesiqalekiso esinye waza wasiphosa enzonzobileni enye. Lo ngumthombo weenyembezi zethu kunye nemvelaphi yawo onke amashwa ethu. Ukususela ngoko ukuya phambili ukwaneliseka koMhlawuleli kwaba yinto eyimfuneko; kwaye ukuba ulamlo lwakhe belungafikanga kuncedo lwethu, ilahleko yethu yanaphakade ibingenakuthintelwa. Kodwa masiqiniseke ngokuthanda rhoqo,

sinyanisekile kwaye sihlala sinyanisekile kuThixo, ukuba asenze kwaye asenze sonwabe. Akanakufumana ilahleko yethu kanaphakade, yaye ukulunga kwakhe kolulela kuthi isandla soncedo esisizimasa enzonzobileni yaye kusithintela ukuba singaweli kuwo. Olunjani lona ulindelo phambi kwethu!

Umahluko phakathi kwesono sengelosi nesomntu. Intando kaThixo enyanisekileyo nesisigxina yokusindisa bonke abantu.

Ndabona, yandixelela, imvukelo yesithunywa nesomntu. Ndibabeke kwi-balance, kwaye ndibagwebe ngokwahlukileyo kakhulu kwiingcebiso zam. Kwicala lendoda, ndabona ubuthathaka kunye nosizi ngaphezu kobungendawo. Kwe

kwicala lengelosi, ngokuchaseneyo, ndabona ububi obusulungekileyo, ikratshi elinganyamezelekiyo, kwaye ndathi ngaphakathi kum: ezi zidalwa zibini azinakufumana ikamva elifanayo. Masiyitshabalalise ingelosi evukelayo, kwaye siyisindise indoda enetyala, siyikhulule ekufeni ebeyifanele, kwaye sibulungisele ubuthathaka bayo ngokuzanelisa thina ngoko sikutyala ubulungisa bethu; wowafumana khona amalungelo akhe kwanenceba yethu. Umzuzu wokwenziwa kwenyama wabanjwa, kwaye umntu, nangona enetyala, wamiselwa kwangaphambili ukuba azalise indawo yesithunywa sezulu...

Ngoko ke, bubuxoki obukhulu, kwakhona yaye sisinyeliso, ukuthi uThixo ungumbhali wesono neshwangusha lesidalwa sakhe, ekubeni wasitsalela ngaphandle kokungento kuphela ukuze asenze sonwabe ngonaphakade, ngokoko ndikubonayo ngokusisigxina kwakhe. intando, engenako ukuguquguquka nengenako ukwenza ububi ngokuzithandela. Kukuba, Bawo, ngale ntando ingunaphakade ukuba uThixo wakhulula ihlabathi ngexabiso elikhulu kangaka, yaye wenza konke okusemandleni akhe ukutsalela kuye umntu; mxolele ubugwenxa bakhe, kananjalo umxhakamfule

imiqobo emchasayo, ukuze amfumanele usindiso…. Okukhona umntu ephambuka kwindlela ayilandeleyo, kokukhona ezibhenca ngakumbi ekulahlekelweni kwakhe ngonaphakade, yaye kokukhona inceba yobuthixo izingisa ngakumbi ekulungiseni ukuthanda okusisigxina okumsindisayo, ngokwenza igazi nothando lukaJ.

Oku kuthanda nokusisigxina kuya kunwenwela kuzo zonke izidalwa, yaye ngokunyanisekileyo kunqwenelela ukusindiswa kwethu sonke, njengoko uThixo eya kubonisa ngemini aya kuluthethelela ngayo ulungiselelo lwakhe, nehambo yakhe ngokuphathelele umntu ngamnye ngokukodwa, ukubhidanisa izinyeliso zakhe. iintshaba; ngoko ke asinako

(206-210)

yenza ngcono, Bawo; kunokuba sizilahlele koku kuthanda okuthe tye nokusisigxina okungenakuwaqhatha amathemba ethu. Oku koko uJ.-C. wandibonisa ekuguleni apho ndafumana zonke iingozi nazo zonke iintlungu zokoyika, apho usathana wayesenza zonke iinzame zokundifaka ekungathembani, ekudimazekeni nasekuphelelweni lithemba.

Ngoxa sikule ntando inyanisekileyo nesisigxina yokusindisa bonke abantu, awathetha kakhulu ngayo uJ.-C.

UThixo undazisa kungekuphela nje ukuba kungenxa yoku kuthanda kukanaphakade awathi wamdala umntu waza wamkhulula; kodwa ukwandixelela ukuba kungokwakhe athi anike ubabalo loguqulo kwabona ngaboni bakhulu, nabanquli-zithixo ngokwabo iindlela ezinamandla zosindiso. Ndithi kubanquli-zithixo ngokwabo, kwaye konke oku kufuna ingcaciso encinane.

Ngaphandle kwesibane sokuqiqa, ulwazi lokulungileyo okanye okubi, umthetho wendalo, ngokufutshane, zingaphi iindlela ezingaqhelekanga angazisebenzisiyo ukubabiza kuye, kwaye oko ukususela ekuqaleni kwehlabathi? Liliphi ilizwe lehlabathi elingazange lingene kwisandi sokudlula kuLwandle Olubomvu, lwelanga

yabanjwa, iindonga zaseYeriko zadilika, nezinye izimanga ezininzi kaMoses, uYoshuwa kwakunye naloo mithetho idumileyo yabantu abanyuliweyo ekubonakala nje ukuba ibekwe phakathi kwezizwe ezingakholwayo kuphela ukubanika ulwazi lwenyaniso. uThixo oyinyaniso? Ayikavakala na indalo

izibetho ezabetha iYiputa, iAsiriya nezinye izizwe ezininzi zomhlaba, ngenxa yaba bantu wayebakhusele ngendlela ekhethekileyo? (1).

(1) Corripuit pro eis reges. ( INdu. 104; 14 ).

Kuphi apho singazange sive ngetempile kaSolomon, eyadlulayo, ngesizathu esivakalayo, isimangaliso sokuqala sehlabathi, kunye nezinye ezininzi zezikhumbuzo ezaziwayo, iinyaniso ezininzi ezimangalisayo nezisesidlangalaleni ezandulela nkqu neentsomi zentsomi, ngaba ubukhulu becala kukulinganisa okukrwada kwabo?...

Omtsha, njengowomnqophiso omdala? Kwakutheni ukuze ilanga lisithwe? Kwakutheni ukuze umhlaba ushukume? Kwakutheni ukuze ikhuselo letempile likrazulwe ukusuka phezulu ukuya ezantsi ekufeni kukaJ.-C.? Kwakutheni ukuze izulu nomhlaba, izithunywa zezulu nabafileyo, zihlangane ukuze zivakalise zize zibonakalise ubuThixo bakhe, ngaphezu kwako konke ngemimangaliso yovuko lwakhe? Kwakutheni, ngomyalelo wakhe, ilizwi labaPostile bakhe lihlokome ukusuka kwesinye isiphelo sehlabathi ukuya kwesinye, ukuze kungabikho luhlanga lungazange lukuve oko? Zininzi ke izingqinisiso zesiqhelo, kodwa intando kaThixo enyanisekileyo nesisigxina, yosindiso lwabantu bonke, ngaphandle kokukhetha (1). Kodwa akuphelelanga apho, kwaye kwiinceba ngokubanzi ujoyina ubabalo oluthile ukuze aphumeze ngempumelelo ngakumbi usindiso lwabantu.

(1) Ngokusuka kulo mgaqo kulula ukugqiba kwelokuba njengoko abanquli-zithixo babengenakungxengxezeleka ekungaluqondini unqulo lukaThixo oyinyaniso kwizinto ezimangalisayo ezazikhatshwa kukutyhileka phakathi kwabantu bamaYuda; kwaye njengoko aba bantu bebesoloko benjalo yaye bengenakungxengxezeleka ekubeni bengamqondi uMesiya wabo ngokobuqu bukaJ. ngokunjalo nawo onke amahlelo obuKristu akanakungxengxezeleka ngokungaliqapheli iBandla eliyinyaniso kuloo nto aphuma kuyo onke, nengaphumanga kuyo nayiphi na, kuba yandulela konke ukwahlukana, njengoko uBossuet esitsho; okokugqibela, leyo ithwele zonke iimpawu zobuThixo, kube ngaphandle kwazo zonke ezinye. Apha ke, xa sithetha ngokubanzi, kugwetyelwe ukubonelela ngokubhekisele kuzo zonke izizwe zomhlaba.

ngeendlela aya kuba nazo zokwazi nokulandela inyaniso; ngokunjalo nakwizibabalo ezikhethekileyo ezivela kuThixo kunye nembalelwano evela kuye ukuphepha ububi nokwenza isidima. Yiyiphi imixholo yokucamngca kwabo bangenalo ulonwabo lokuhlala esifubeni seCawa yokwenyaniso; kuba abo bazalelwe khona bangahlali apho ngendlela ehambelana nobizo lwabo! Oku kujongeka kude ebantwini nakubantu ngabanye.

Indlela yosindiso uThixo ayinika bonke abantu. Umthandazo weengelosi ezikhuselayo.

Ukususela ekukhawulweni komntu ngamnye ngokukodwa, kwaye ngaphandle kokukhetha, uThixo, akanelisekanga ukunxibelelana nomphefumlo wakhe kunye nomzimba ohlangeneyo, njengoko wayebophelelekile ukuba enze ngokulunga okumsulwa, kwaye ngaphandle kwesazela sakhe, umthunywa. esinye sezithunywa zakhe elugcinweni nasekugcinweni kwesi sidalwa sitsha (esiya kuphikiswana ngaso malunga nabangakholwayo) abahedeni abaphumanga kulo. Iingelosi zabo ezilungileyo zinikwe umyalelo okhethekileyo wokuwachitha ngazo zonke iindlela ezinokwenzeka zokufumana izikhanyiso zesityhilelo; yiloo nto abayisebenzelayo ngokungadinwa. Ndibona kuThixo ukuba ngaphandle koncedo lwezi ngelosi zokufundisa, kuya kutshabalala imiphefumlo engakumbi

yemizimba phakathi kweentlanga. Yintoni abangayenziyo ukuze bazuze ulwazi ngoThixo oyinyaniso nomthetho wakhe? Bazinyamekela ngaphambi nasemva kokuzalwa kwazo, ebudeni balo lonke ixesha lobomi babo nasemva kokufa kwazo, ukuba zingonwabanga.

Umphefumlo udibana nomzimba ngokukhawuleza njengoko uhlukana nawo. Ngokudibanisa  nayo, ibeka imithambo, imithambo, imisipha, uburharha; Yena

(211–215)

ekugqibeleni kuzisa kuyo ukufudumala okubalulekileyo, apho ubomi bomntu siqu buqulethwe,

onobuntununtunu kunye nokomoya, de uThixo amyalele ukuba asishiye esi sithuba;  kwaye iseyingelosi yakhe elungileyo enoxanduva lokumxelela kwaye ithathe ithuba kuyo yonke into ukuze ithintele iingozi kwaye imnike ukufa okulungileyo, kangangoko  yena.

Isemandleni akhe. Uyazongeza izibane zakhe ukuze andise isimilo sakhe; icebisa kuye iimvakalelo zokholo, ithemba nothando; umbongoza ukuba enze idini lobomi bakhe ngokumanyanisa ukufa kwakhe noko koThixo wakhe. Ebona ukuba amaxesha axabisekile, usebenzisa yonke into ukuze amlahle kwesi sicatshulwa sokugqibela; yaye xa umphefumlo welungisa uthe wahlukana nomzimba, uya kuwupheleka ukuya kwinkundla yamatyala kaThixo, ukuze emva koko awukhokelele eZulwini okanye kwiNtlambululo-miphefumlo, ngokwesigwebo nesigwebo somgwebi wakhe.

Kwindawo yentlambululo-miphefumlo uyamtyelela aze amthuthuzele, esoloko ezama ukufumana  iindlela zokumfinyeza okanye anciphise ukubandezeleka kwakhe nokukhawulezisa umzuzu wokuhlangulwa kwakhe. Ekugqibeleni, lo mzuzu ufikile, uyawususa ngovuyo  ngenxa

bakhokelela eZulwini, apho bathandana khona ngothando olugqibeleleyo  .

Umphefumlo owaliweyo, Bawo! yenye into! enjani intlungu kwingelosi yakhe yokufundisa, ukumbona, ngaphandle kwayo yonke imizamo yakhe,

ukuba avele phambi koThixo ekwimo yesono esifayo!... Ngubani onokupeyinta imeko yakhe kuwe! Uyamlandela kude kube phaya; uva nje ngokungcangcazela

isigwebo esimgwebayo, emva koko ngokuthandabuza umshiya emandleni eedemon. Sinokuyigweba into emele ukuba yamlahlekela ngokukhumbula indlela awayesithanda ngayo esi sidalwa sinelishwa, phezu kwako nje ukungafezeki nokungabi nambulelo kwaso; indlela awayelukhathalele ngayo ulonwabo lwakhe olungunaphakade nako konke awayenako

wayeyenzile ukumfumanela yona! Wayengoyena ubalaseleyo, oyena uthantamisayo kwaye unyanisekile kubahlobo bakhe, okanye endaweni yoko akukho luhlonyelwe lunamandla kangako, okanye ubuhlobo obunjalo phakathi kwabantu…. Enjani yona intlungu ke, ukukrazula okunjani

ukuzibona ehluliwe kuso ngonaphakade!… ukubona erhuqelwa esihogweni lowo wayenqwenela ukumazisa eZulwini!

UThixo yena, ngenxa yakhe, uBawo wamgweba kuyo ngokuzisola, kwaye ndibona, kumnqweno wakhe onyanisekileyo wokusindisa isidalwa sakhe, ukuba sisikhundla esibi kakhulu ukuba abophekile ukuba ayithiye ngonaphakade kwaye awohlwaye umphefumlo ukuba ' wayethanda kakhulu kwaye efuna ukuvuza; ukuzibona enyanzelekile ukuba enze umsebenzi wejaji engenakuxelwa, apho wayefuna ukwenza umsebenzi wokuba ngutata nomhlobo…. Ah! Bawo, ukuba aboni abaqaqadekileyo bayaqonda, andikuxeleli oko kufunekayo kubo ukuze bahlulwe ngonaphakade kuThixo wabo; kodwa ndithi ukuba baye baqonda ukuba kubiza ntoni na uThixo ukumshiya ngolo hlobo

isidalwa kwaye uhambe kude kuyo ngonaphakade, ndinethemba lokukholelwa ukuba abanakukunceda ukuyithanda, ngenxa yombulelo ongazenzisiyo ngenxa yomdla, kwaye

angathanda ukuthatha inkathazo yokubaleka ukuze amsindise kwingxaki yokubagweba: intlungu enkulu kangangokuba ukuba ulonwabo lukaThixo lunokubakho.

ephazanyisiwe, uya kukhathazeka ngenxa yelishwa umoni azilungiselela lona. Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba lo mntu ulishwa angavuma ukumtyhila kuyo, kwaye unokuzifumana enomphefumlo omnyama, intliziyo elukhuni, kunokuba ingabonakali, kunokuba idenatured,

irhamncwa ngokwaneleyo, ukuthwala ukungabi nambulelo kweli nqanaba? Inene, Bawo, le nto ibonakala ngathi iyavakala kum.

Ngokusingisele kubantwana, abafe bengekabhaptizwa, maxa wambi kwasesizalweni sonina, uThixo undazile, ukuba unobudlelane nabo;

ngaphambi kokuba bafe, ingcamango yokuba bazizidalwa ezinengqiqo, abantu, nokuba baza kuvela phambi kwakhe. Iingelosi zabo ezilungileyo zikhokelela imiphefumlo yabo kwi-limbo, apho zibashiya khona, umsebenzi wabo ugqityiwe. Kukwanjalo ke nakubantwana abancinane bamahedeni, abamelwe kukufumana ikamva elifanayo, esiza kuthetha ngalo endaweni yalo. Ngokuphathelele aboni abaguqukayo abaza kufa, ndiyabona, Bawo, kule ntando yothando nengunaphakade, umnqweno onyanisekileyo wokuba uThixo abenzele inceba, ebathululela ukulunga okungapheliyo koMkhululi wabo….

Umnqweno ovuthayo wentliziyo kaYesu wosindiso lwethu.

Ah! Bawo, ngokuqinisekileyo oku kuya kuzimisela ukubenza bonwabe, intando ngaphambi kwawo nawuphi na omnye ummiselo, othe ngoku ubabongoza, ngokuzingisa okungaka, ngamandla nangomdla, ukuba ubaxolele! Nguye

owabuyela kuMsindisi wethu othandekayo uthando lwakhe olubuhlungu luthandeka kakhulu,  ukuba waphelelwa ngumonde, ukuba umntu unokutsho njalo, esizalweni sikanina, kwaye wancwina ubomi bakhe bonke emva kwalo mzuzu uxabisekileyo.  Yayingumnqweno onyanisekileyo wokuzuza usindiso lwabantu kunye noxolelwaniso lwaboni, njengoko senditshilo,

yamenza ukuba abaleke nemitsi emikhulu, ngendlela yokuba kube nzima ukumlandela, i

kwixesha lokugqibela waya eYerusalem ukuya kubhiyozela iPasika yakhe yokugqibela; ukuvutha kwakhe kwamnika amaphiko, waphaphazela kunokuba ahambe. Enjalo, Bawo, yimiphumo emikhulu, imiphumo eyonwabisayo yokuthanda okuqinileyo nokusisigxina, kwalo mnqweno unyanisekileyo nonenzondelelo uThixo anawo wokusindisa bonke abantu; intando,

njengoko benditshilo, kungaphambili

(216-220)

kuwo wonke ummiselo nakuwo wonke umboniso (ukuba, nangona kunjalo, sinokumamkela kuThixo uhlobo oluthile lwangaphambili), olumele kwaye lungenakuze luguquke nangaliphi na ixesha, ekubeni lungenakuguqulwa njengoThixo ngokwakhe. Nantso into

zithetha la magama asisigxina, amisiweyo, entando yesigqibo, endiye ndayiphindaphinda kaninzi, nesiya kuthi siyithabathe kwakhona, ngenxa yempazamo ekufuneka ngenye imini ikhuphisane nesi simo okanye intando kaThixo yanaphakade. Kodwa masibuyele ekwenziweni komntu kweLizwi okuye kwaba yimfuneko ukuze sisindiswe ngamnye wethu, ngesiphoso sikaBawo wethu oqhelekileyo; iyakuba yeyangomso.

ICANDELO II.

YOKWENZA KWELIZWI, KUNYE NEZIPHUMO ZALO.

Ukubonakala kweNtombi Enyulu esikelelekileyo kuDade.

Mandiqale, Bawo, ngokukuxelela okwenzeka kum phezolo ngesihlandlo sento ekufuneka isithathile, ndithetha iziphumo zokuzaliswa kweLizwi. Ndibone ukuba andikwazi  kuphinda ndilale

emva kokuvuka, ndaqalisa ukucinga ngolandelelwano lombandela esifanele siwulandele. Ngequbuliso kwabonakala kum ukubona,  ubuncinci

iliso lengqondo, singasathethi nto, isidalwa sobona buhle bukhulu kwaye sithwele imbeko. Undijonge ngenkangeleko yobubele, endenza intlekisa nangona kunjalo: “Heyi yintoni! yam

ntombi, yathi kum, uthetha ngemfihlelo enkulu yokuzalwa komntu, awuyi kuthetha nto, awuyi kuba nanto ibhaliweyo” ngaye eyenzeka kuye le ntsinda-badala? awusayi kuthetha nto ngam, ngubani na umjelo wenceba kunye nelungu lentando yezulu? Ndandibhidekile yaye ndibuhlungu kakhulu ngenxa yolu ngcikivo, amandla nobulungisa endandivakalelwa kukuba, ngaphandle kokuba kwimeko yokuthobela. Ndandinomnqweno omkhulu wokuthetha kum, kodwa andizange ndithethe nto ifanelekileyo: iingcamango zam zazibuthathaka kwaye zibhideke kakhulu. Ndiye ndathatha icala

ukulinda iZulu ukuba lindihlangule, kwaye ndinomdla kakhulu  ukuba ndithobele uMama wam olungileyo, ndikucela ukuba ubhale oko uThixo andicebisa kona kuye ngomzuzu olandelayo.

Ubungangamsha kunye namalungelo kaMariya, ahlukaniswe kumyalelo oqhelekileyo.

Kuqala, Bawo, bendicinga ukuba ndisabubona ubuso bale kumkani inamandla ijikelezwe sisazinge segolide esiphawula ubude bayo, nesiqulathe

ibandla lezinto zonke eziphume esandleni sakhe. Ibhinqa eliqaqambileyo ngaphezu kwelanga, lonke likhazimla bubuqaqawuli nobungangamsha, lijongile

yena wonke amehlo. Ngoko nangoko ndaqonda ukuba yayiyintombi enyulu engenakuthelekiswa nanto eyayiza kuzala uLizwi Owenyama. Esi sidalwa sasisihle,

njengabanye, bebandakanyiwe kwisangqa segolide esinendawo ephakamileyo

ubungangamsha boKumkani wozuko; kodwa ndabona ukuba wayephakame kakhulu kunabanye, kwaye wayebonakala, ngoku kanye oku kuphakanyiswa, ephuma kucwangco, kwaye phantse engenanxaxheba kwamanye amadoda, ngenxa yesizathu sokuba wayengabandakanywanga inani labantwana baka-Adam: oku koko ndakuqonda ngokuphakama, okwamenza waphawuleka kakhulu.

Ekugqibeleni, uBawo, ndambona ezaliswe zizipho namalungelo, nto leyo ukufana kwabo bathathu abangcwele kwabonakala kum kuqala kunye nenqununu. UBawo ongunaPhakade uyamgqala ngenxa yentombi yakhe ayithandayo, ethe, ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa bubunyulu bayo, yavelisa, ekuhambeni kwexesha, lowo imzalayo ukususela kunaphakade. UNyana uyambona njengonina, owathi, emva kokumnika ubomi bexeshana, wabelana ngayo yonke imisebenzi kunye nazo zonke iimbandezelo. UMoya Oyingcwele uyamamkela ngenxa yetempile yakhe kunye neqabane lakhe elithandekayo, elalivutha kuphela ngemililo yakhe, ngaphandle kokuzisa nawuphi na umqobo kwiinceba zakhe okanye uthando lwakhe olungcwele.

Ngaloo ndlela, intombi kaYise, unina woNyana, iqabane loMoya oyiNgcwele obamanyanisayo, uMariya ufuze uYise ekuzaleni kwakhe; ufana noNyana kwiimbandezelo zobomi bakhe basemhlabeni; ufana noMoya oyiNgcwele kwinzondelelo yothando lwakhe. Ngamnye kwaba bathathu uyayoliswa kukuthwesa kuye ukulunga awayemhombise ngako. Olunjani lona uzuko! yintoni ukuphakama! esinjani sona isidima! Singa

thetha enye into? Ngaba isidalwa sinokunyukela phezulu? angakwazi ukusondela kuBungcwele? Noko ke, nguBawo wam, elona nqanaba liphakamileyo awathi uMama ongcwele kaJ.

Ukukhulelwa kwakhe okumsulwa.

Ndeva ilizwi liphuma kuThixo, lisithi, Umhle kwaphela, sithandwa sam; akukho siphako kuwe. Hayi, ukuba ntle kwamanyathelo akho, ntombi yenene ! Amagama amangalisayo, kwaye lawo, ngokwengqondo endiyifumene kubo, inokufanela kuphela umama kaThixo, iqabane lokwenene leeNgoma. Xa ndithetha ngayo nayiphi na enye

sidalwa, uYesu Kristu wathi kum ngale nto, ndingatsho kakuhle ukuthi: Umhle, sithandwa sam, akunabala kuwe; kodwa andinakuthi: Umhle kakhulu. La magama anentsingiselo ebanzi ngakumbi, kwaye akanako

sebenzisa kuphela ukugqwesa kwam endimthandayo. Bathetha ukuba akuzange kubekho kwaye akusayi kubakho ndawo kuye ... Kwaye ndabona, ngentsingiselo yale ndumiso, ukuba kuphela ngenxa

(221-225)

UMama kaThixo, ekuphela kobunyulu obunjalo obugcinwe kuye. Kuba ndambona ekukhulelweni kwakhe okumsulwa ukuba wayenyulu kwaye emhle,

ahlulwe kwintabalala yabantwana baka-Adam. Ndiphinde ndayiqonda le ndumiso  ayinikwa nguBathathu Emnye uNgcwele, ukuba amanyathelo akho mahle, ntombi yenkosi! ukuba oku kuthetha ukuba yonke ingaphakathi kunye nehambo yangaphandle yale Virgin esikelelekileyo ibisoloko ikholeka emehlweni kaThixo nangawo onke amaxesha obomi bakhe. Ndibonile kwaye ndiyabona ukuba esi sidalwa sisulungekileyo besisoloko sibuyela kuye ukuze sicamngce apho ubungangamsha bukaThixo, ukuba siphulukane nolonwabo ekucamngceni ngengqibelelo yakhe engapheliyo, ukubuyisela kuye ngokuthobeka kwaso konke obekukuhle ngaphakathi kwaso, Uvutha ungayeki ngumlilo wenceba yakhe  .

Ubuntu bukaMariya benzelwe ubuntu obungcwele bukaYesu Krestu. Ukuphakama nokufana kwakhe okugqibeleleyo noYesu Kristu.

Ngaphandle kokufuna nangayiphi na indlela ukulinganisa umama noNyana, nto leyo eya kuba lunqulo-zithixo kunye nokunyelisa, ndibona ekukhanyeni okundikhanyiselayo ukuba ubuntu obungcwele bukaMariya benzelwe ubuntu bukaJ.-C  .

ibiyeyokusindiswa koluntu; ke, Bawo, ukuba umntu uya kuba engalunganga kakhulu ukuphetha ngokusuka koku ukuba uJ.-C. akayi kuba nguMsindisi wabo bonke.

madoda, ekubeni kungekuphela nje ngenxa yeemfanelo zakhe nentlawulelo yakhe athe uMariya wakhululwa kwibala lantlandlolo waza wazaliswe lubabalo oluninzi;

njengoko kungesidima esifanayo ukuba lonke uluntu luye lwahlanjwa lwaza lwenziwa ngokutsha. Ngoko ke kuye yedwa ukuba yonke into inxulumene. UMariya unetyala kunabo bonke abanye ngonyana wakhe, yaye uJ.

Umkhululi wawo onke amanye amadoda. Ukuthululwa kwenceba zakhe kwakubhekiswa kuphela kwabanye emva kokuba elungise umjelo ofanele ukufunyanwa nokuzidlulisela. Kwakhona, uBawo wam, emva kobuntu obungcwele bukaJ.

uBathathu Emnye othandekayo.

Akunjalo, kwakhona, kwaye uThixo makangavumeli ukuba ndifuna ukuthetha ukuba, ngamalungelo amphakamisayo kakhulu ngaphezu kwabo bonke.

kwezinye izidalwa, le Ntombi Inyulu engenakuthelekiswa inokuze ifikelele kubukhulu obuphakamileyo bukaBathathu Emnye ongenakuqondwa. Hayi, Bawo, ndim, ndiyambulela uThixo, ndikude nemposiso intlebendwane yehlelo elisingcikivayo ngaphandle kwesizathu…. UMariya akanakuze akwazi ukubuqonda ngokupheleleyo uBuThixo, kuba usisidalwa esisikelwe umda esixhomekeke kulo Mntu uPhakamileyo. Yonke into endiyithethayo nendiyenzayo, Bawo (akukho sikhubekiso kuye

iintshaba zeCawa kunye neyakhe), kukuba uMariya uphakanyiswe ngaphezu kweengelosi kunye nabantu, ukuba akukho sidalwa siya kuba nako ukuyiqonda, kwaye ukuba abangcwele abakhulu, njengeyokuqala yemikhumbi ,

iya kusoloko ilizukisa njengokumkanikazi nolongamo olungenakuqondwa.

Ndiyabona ukuba ukususela ekukhawulweni kwakhe okumsulwa wanikwa ulwazi nengqiqo; wayemazi umbhali wakhe kunye noyilo olukhulu awayenalo kuye (1).

(1) Ababhali abaliqela bayicinga baza bayibhala; umntu unokude athi yimvakalelo yabona bafundi ngezakwalizwi babalaseleyo. Bona phakathi kwabanye iSivumelwano sokuZinikelo lwenene kuMariya , nguBoudon.

Waqubuda emoyeni ukuze anqule Oyena Bathathu Emnye Ungcwele; kwaye esi senzo sokuqala sokunqula nokuzinikela sagqitha zonke ezona zenzo zobugorha nezincomekayo ezenziwa ngabanye abangcwele kuThixo. Wabagqwesa ukusukela ngoko ukuya phambili njengoko wayephakanyiswe ngaphezu kwabo ngamalungelo akhe kunye nobungangamsha bendawo awayesingise kuyo. Okunjani ukufana ngokusondeleyo

kunye no-J.-C. Ke ngoko wayengoyena mfanekiso ugqibeleleyo womntu wakhe othandekayo. Ah! Bawo, singasithanda ngokwaneleyo isidalwa esinje, ngakumbi silwazi uthando analo ngathi! Ngaba sinokuba nentembelo egqithiseleyo kuye, siwazi amandla anawo phezu konyana wakhe, nomnqweno wakhe wonke wokusenzela okulungileyo? Ungumama wethu, oko kuthetha konke, kwaye kufuneka sibe ngabantwana bakhe; makube njalo, kwaye konke kuya kulunga.

Ukwenziwa umntu kweLizwi. Ukubunjwa komzimba kaYesu Krestu. Imfezeko yakhe.

Emva kwesi mbeko kunina weLizwi eliMnyama, masithethe

ngoku wokwenziwa komntu kweli Lizwi lithandekayo. Ndiya kukuxelela, Bawo, oko uThixo endityhilele kona, ngaphandle kokulandela enye indlela engeyiyo leyo uyilandelayo yena. Lathi lakufika ixesha lokusebenzisa le mfihlelo inkulu kwisibeleko esinyulu salowo wayeza kuba ngumxholo wayo, kungoko awathi uBathathu Emnye waluphalaza uthando lwakhe nobubele kubantwana baka-Adam ababenetyala, ukuze aphumeze intlangulo yabo ixesha elide kangako. ethenjisiweyo nefuziselayo. UYise uludlulisele ebantwini uthando lwakhe, wabanika owakhe uNyana. UNyana wadlulisela uthando lwakhe kubo, ngokuba yinyama waza wazinikela ekusindisweni kwabo ngokuziphatha okubi okwakulindelwe. UMoya oyiNgcwele wabazisa uthando lwakhe kubo ngokwenza le mfihlelo inkulu. Kwaye qaphela, Bawo, oko uThixo andibonisa kona malunga nalo msebenzi umangalisayo, lo msebenzi wobugcisa ugqibeleleyo woBungcwele,

Ukwenziwa umntu kweLizwi. Kunqabile ukuba uMariya avume

(226-230)

Umyolelo ophakanyiswe ngumthunywa ovela eZulwini, wokuba uMoya oyiNgcwele udale esibelekweni sakhe umzimba othandekayo nobuntu obungcwele bukaJ. , kwamanye amabhinqa, ukwenzela ukwakheka kwemizimba ekhawulwe ngokomyalelo wendalo, kodwa weyona nto inyulu, okanye endaweni yegazi elimsulwa lale Ntombi Enyulu, lowo ungaphezu kwayo yonke into eyenze intliziyo yakhe iphile, nobushushu bayo bugcine ubuhle bayo. umlilo wothando lukaThixo.

Noko ke, wayeyinyama yokwemvelo yokwenene, umzimba womntu wokwenene, owawungaswele nto koko uThixo wayekubeke kumzimba womntu wokuqala, kungekho nto igqiba uluntu. Lo mzimba, ngoko

eyenziwe ngokumangalisayo kumzimba weNtombikazi, ayizange ilandele ukuhlanjululwa kwendalo yendalo, efuna ixesha elithile lokuphuhliswa kwamalungu; kodwa ndiyabona ukuba ukususela kumzuzu wokuqala, omncinci njengoko wayenjalo, kwaye ukuthetha ngokungabonakali, wayenziwe ngokugqibeleleyo kwaye ngokugqibeleleyo kuwo onke amalungu akhe, imisipha yakhe, imithambo yakhe, imilenze yakhe.

igazi, imithambo yakhe, amathumbu akhe; yonke intlangano yakhe yangaphakathi neyangaphandle yatyhalelwa kwimfezeko yayo, yaza yatyekela ekufumaneni ukusebenza komphefumlo wakhe ongcwele nongcwele… ngomsebenzi kaThixo.

Yonke into yayigqibelele kuye, kwanasenyameni, yaye kuphela  ukukhula okwakufuneka kwingqibelelo yalo mzimba wobuthixo  (1).

(1) UDade Wokuzalwa kukaYesu ayikabi nguye kuphela kolu luvo; oogqirha abaliqela nootata beCawa babecinga njengaye. Ndiza kucaphula kule ngongoma amazwi kaBazile oNgcwele ngala mazwi eVangeli. Quod in e natum est (Math. 1, 20): Eli nqaku lilandelayo, aliyi kuphinda libekho kwi-communem indolem duo fuisse constitutionem… (De humana, Christi generatione act nativate; Serm. 25.)

Ukudalwa komphefumlo ka-J.-C. Ukugqibelela kwakhe. Umanyano lwe-Hypostatic. UThixo-umntu.

Ngephanyazo elifanayo (kuba ukuba sinokuvuma umzuzu wobukho bangaphambili kulo mzimba, unokuba nje ngephanyazo lokuqiqa), ngephanyazo, ngokuphefumla, okanye ngesenzo sesiqhamo sentando yawo yonke, enamandla. , imfundiso kaBathathu Emnye oNgcwele yafumana ekubangeni owona mphefumlo umhle nongcwele owawukho, nowawunokuze ubekho. Lo mphefumlo mhle nongcwele, udalwe kancinci kwaye ukhutshwe ezandleni zombhali wawo, udityaniswe ngokusondeleyo kumzimba owawumiselwe wona; kwaye ngequbuliso, ngesenzo saxeshanye, ubungcwele beLizwi elinguNaphakade bumanyanisa njalo

ngokusondeleyo kwezi zinto zimbini, ukuba ayinako ukwahlulwa kuzo. Olu manyano lwenyaniso lwe-hypostatic, ngokwekota yesikolo, lusondele ngakumbi kunolo lomzimba nomphefumlo, ekubeni lunokwahlulwa, kanti olwangaphambili lunokwahlulwa: ukuze ubani angakwazi, ngoJ. umfo wakwaThixo, noThixo emntwini. Oku kubizwa ngokuba liLizwi elenziwe umntu, uThixo-umntu okanye uThixo-uMntu, uMnyazi wenyaniso; Ngelizwi, Bawo, ezi zimo zimbini zobuthixo nezomntu zisondelelene kakhulu

bemanyene, babumba umntu omnye kuphela ku-J.-C., uMsindisi wethu ongokobuthixo.

Ukuthotywa koMntu-uThixo phambi kukaYise. Ukuzinikela kwakhe ngenxa yothando lokubandezeleka ngenxa yoluntu lonke. Uxolo phakathi kwezulu nomhlaba, kunye nencamisa yokufaneleka koMsindisi. Ukuxhatshazwa okuya kwenziwa ngabaninzi.

Kwangaxeshanye, Bawo, ndabona uBawo ongunaPhakade, owathi, ekunye noMoya oyiNgcwele, waguqukela kwiLizwi lakhe elenziwe inyama, waza wathi kuye, emjongile ngothando: Wena unguNyana wam ozelwe kakuhle . intanda, endikholisiweyo nguye kwasephakadeni, endikholisiweyo nguye yedwa. Kwandula ke, kwangaxeshanye ngephanyazo, ngenxa yobuThixo obabumanyaniswa naye, ubuntu obungcwele beLizwi eliMnyama baphakanyiselwa kumgangatho wobungangamsha obuwoyikekayo; ukanti, njengomntu, uJ.-C. wazithoba phambi kobungangamsha bukaYise, kwanakwinzonzobila yento engento, ukuba kunokutshiwo, ukumnqula ngoMoya nangenyaniso;

luzuko kuphela olufanele ukugqwesa kobuThixo bakhe…. Lo mnquli ugqibeleleyo wobuThixo unguThixo ngokwakhe, egqitha aze aqinise iintshukumisa ezinkulu zeli nyathelo limangalisayo, wazibophelela ukuba abandezeleke njengomntu kwiintlungu ebezifanele umntu ngenxa yokuvukela kwakhe, waza, njengoThixo, ixabiso elingenasiphelo kuye ngamnye. yeembandezelo zakhe  .

Ukusithanda kwakhe kwamnikela ukusa kwinqanaba lokufa, kokukhona akwanelisa okusesikweni kobuthixo, ngokwenza ngokuvisisana nokuthanda kukaBawo owabeka intlawulelo yoluntu kweli xabiso. Wathi Bawo, xola umsindo wakho, mxolele onetyala, xolela abantwana baka-Adam abangamahlwempu. Wena, Bawo, uwakhabile amadini ezilwanyana njengamaxhoba angonelanga kwaye awukwazi kwaphela ukuhoya ingqalelo yakho nokugcina ingqibelelo yamehlo akho; kakuhle ! Bawo, ndikho, ndime endaweni yabo, ndiza kufezekisa intando yakho ethandekayo kwaye ndonelise iminqweno yothando lwakho olungagungqiyo ... ndiya kubulela ekuqwalaseleni kwam.

Ukuba ityala lakhe alinasiphelo, imbuyekezo endinilungiselela yona, nendininika yona, ayinakuba nganeno kwakhe. Mbethe ngoko, Bawo, ubethwe omsulwa; kodwa ndicela ugcine

(231–235)

umoni kunye nento ethandekayo yomsindo wakho. Ndinelungelo lokukucela, ekubeni ndivuma ukuba ndife ngenxa yakhe, yaye kukukwenza kuphela umbingelelo wesihewu endiwunxibileyo kulo mzimba uwubumbileyo ngenxa yam. Baxolele ngoko, Bawo, baxolele! Bulelani

eluntwini, ngenxa yam. Sisishwankathelo sayo yonke imisebenzi yam, yayo yonke into ekufuneka igazi lam nelizwi lam likwenze uve de kube kukuphefumla kwam kokugqibela!…. (1)

(1) Apha eneneni, ukuba andiphazami, yimfundiso eyinyani yeBandla engoMnyamo, ibhencekile ngendlela ehlab’ umxhelo njengoko iyiyo yesithethe. Akuzange mhlawumbi akuzange kuthethwe nto icace ngakumbi, ichane ngakumbi, okanye inamandla ngakumbi, echasene neemfundiso zobuxoki zika-Arius, uApollinaris, uNestorius, uSabellius, nazo zonke iintshaba zobuthixo bukaJ. uMama wakhe osikelelekileyo. Akuzange kubekho nenye ethetha ngcono ngokumanyana kwezinto ezimbini kwimfihlelo enkulu ye

Ukuzalwa komntu, imfundiso esisiseko yoKholo lwethu; kwaye ikwasisivumo sobona bagwebi bakhanyiselweyo bale ngqokelela.

Akukho mfuneko yokuphinda ukuba akunakwenzeka ukuba ndicaphule zonke izibhalo ezingcwele apha. Nabani na owazi kakuhle ufundo lweencwadi ezingcwele, uziva ekuqaleni ukuba zonke ezi nkcukacha zondliwe ngabo, kangangokuba izicatshulwa ziya kuthatha indawo engaphezulu kunombhalo ngokwawo, njengoko ndandilumkisile.

Ndaza ndeva ilizwi likaBawo onguNaphakade: Nyana wam, wathi, yonke into oyicelayo uyinikwe; kuba, ndingala ntoni na ukuthanda, ukuzithoba, kwisidima sikaThixo ozithobayo ukuya kwinqanaba lokuqinisekisa isidalwa sakhe?... Ah!... Nyana wam, into endiyithandayo yanaphakade.

Ukwaneliseka kwakho kungaphezu kokuninzi. Kananjalo, ngenxa yoko kwaneliswa, uxolo sele lwenziwe; umsindo wam uthotyiwe; ubulungisa bam nenceba yam yenze isivumelwano esingunaphakade, ngenxa yokuba emva kokuxolelanisa kwakho abasayi kuphinda bakubuze…

Ndiyabulela kuwe, Bawo! ngokuba wenjenjalo ukubalungisa abanyulwa bakho; kodwa, ukuba inceba yakho nobulungisa bakho yenze umfela-ndawonye, ​​ukuba bavuya kwaye banelisekile, uthando lwethu, Owu Bawo! ayikabikho. Ndiziva nditshiswe ngumnqweno wokufumana amadoda ukwaneliseka okukhulu kunye nokwaneliseka kakhulu, ukutyebisa iBandla lam, kwaye

yihombise ngobubele obungasifanelanga endibufunayo, kungekuphela nje kubo bonke abathembekileyo ngokubanzi, kodwa nobabalo olukhethekileyo kumphefumlo ngamnye ngokukodwa. Ubabalo oluqhelekileyo, ubabalo olungaqhelekanga, ekugqibeleni zonke iindlela zosindiso ziya kuba sisiphumo senkanuko yam neentlungu zam; kwaye iziphumo zothando lwam kubo ziya kuba ngumthombo ongapheliyo woxolelo lwabo kunye nolonwabo lwabo, kunye nozuko oluphuphumayo ngakumbi kumaphakade, kunokuba bebeya kuba nalo, ukuba abazange bamfune uMkhululi. Kungenxa yozuko lwakho, Bawo! nokwanelisa uthando lwakho kubo,  endinalo

Ndiyathanda kwaye ndifuna ukubathengela ngentlawulelo yam eninzi indlela esebenzayo yosindiso ...

Kwaye ngaloo nto, Bawo wam, nantsi into eyathethwa nguJ.-C. kum:

Ubuninzi bezinto ezilungileyo endizityhilayo kuwe ziya kuba sisihlandlo sokutshabalala nokulahlekelwa kwabaninzi, abathi, kude nenzuzo kubo ngokuzisebenzisa kubo, baya kuba netyala ngakumbi, ngokuxhatshazwa kolwaphulo-mthetho abaya kukwenza, njengoko. kwa le ntabalala yokufaneleka iya kuba ngunobangela wosindiso lwabaninzi. Yonke into iya kuxhomekeka, ungathandabuzi, ekusetyenzisweni komntu ngamnye kwezi mfanelo.

Eli lilitye endathetha ngalo kwiVangeli yam; eli litye elingu-angular nesisiseko, elenza onke amandla esakhiwo esisetyenziswa kuso, ndithetha ngeBandla lam ngokunjalo nosindiso lwelungu ngalinye lalo. Kambe ke, ukuba abasebenzi bayala okanye bayala ukuyingenisa esakhiweni, iba ngumqobo osisikhubekiso, esimtyumza nabani na esiwa phezu kwaso, size simtyumze intloko lowo uwe phezu kwaso. Yeha lowo (1), isakhiwo ekungangeni kuso sidilizwa  yimimoya size simke nokuphuphuma kwamanzi  (2).

Qui ceciderit super lapidem istum confringetur; super quem vero  cederit conterit eum. ( Mat. 21,  44 )

Ukulunga kukaThixo ke ngoko kungumthombo wokuqala kunye nokuphela konobangela osebenzayo wazo zonke iimfanelo zomntu. Ubabalo luka-J.-C. lubaluleke kakhulu kusindiso, kangangokuba ngaphandle kwalo akufuneki sibe nethemba, ekubeni ngaphandle kwalo singenakwenza nto ngolungelelwano lwamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo nolunokubalelwa kuthi ezulwini. Nisi Dominus oedificaverit domum, in vanum laboraverunt qui oedificant eam . INdumiso 126,  i.)

Iimbangela zokuwa kweengelosi ezimbi kunye nokunyamezela okulungileyo.

Oku, Bawo, koko uThixo akutyhile kum kwaye wandazisa ngokuchukumisa

ukwenziwa umntu kweLizwi kunye nentlawulelo yohlanga loluntu. Ngoku, ngaphambi kokuba ndiqhubele phambili kwinkolo nakwiBandla loNyana kaThixo, kufuneka ndibuyele kwindawo endiyikhankanye kuphela xa ndidlula, ndithetha unobangela wokuwa kweengelosi ezikhohlakeleyo nokuzingisa kokulungileyo. Apha, njengakwezinye iindawo, ndiza kukuxelela kuphela into endiyibonayo ekukhanyeni okundikhanyisayo.

Kuqala, Bawo wam, ndibona apho ukuba, kufana nomntu wokuqala kule nto

inkxalabo, kuphela kukusebenzisa okulungileyo okanye okubi kwenkululeko yabo yokuzikhethela,  apho izithunywa zezulu ezilungileyo okanye ezimbi zisindiswa okanye zilahlwa. Makhe sijonge oko uThixo andenze  ndakubona ngako.

(236-240)

Ithe kum iNkosi yethu, ikhalazela isithunywa esigwilikayo, yathi, Lo mfo ungendawo akandithandanga, akandiphulaphula; usoloko ekhohlakele, kodwa ngendlela ethile

ubungendawo, ulunya olusulungekileyo nobukhulu balo. Yiyo ke loo nto imvukelo yakhe yagwetywa, yohlwaywa ngendlela eyahlukileyo kweyalowo uThixo amenzela inceba, ngenxa yobuthathaka bemvelo yakhe. umoya ophakame kangaka nogqibelele kangaka, ingaba wayeze kukhubekisa uThixo, aze agwetywe ngesiphoso sakhe?... Ndanqandwa kwabubunzima obufanayo, waphendula; kodwa nantsi impendulo ayicebisayo uThixo ngalo mzuzu: bhala phantsi into endiyithethayo

uya kukuxelela. Ndithathe lo pen ndabhala phantse igama negama.

Liyinene, Bawo, iingelosi zadalwa zikwimo egqibelele ngakumbi kuneyabantu; kananjalo abaqinisekiswanga elubabalweni. Kwakhona uThixo wayefuna, ngokusesikweni kwakhe, ukubavuza ngendlela ababefanele basebenzise ngayo izipho zakhe nenkululeko yabo yokuzikhethela. Yiyo loo nto, ngaphambi kokuba abamkele kumbono wakhe ocacileyo, osisiseko sentlalontle egqibeleleyo kunye nentlonipho eyongamileyo, okanye ebakhuphela ngaphandle,

wanika, njengomntu omsulwa ixesha lokulingwa ngenxa yokuthembeka kwabo. Eli xesha limiselweyo lalilingana kubo bonke abasikelelweyo. Senditshilo ke, Bawo, nantsi into endiyazisa ngayo uThixo phakathi kwabalungileyo nabangendawo. Hlala ubhala.

Ngokomzekelo, uMikayeli oNgcwele, nabo bonke abo beqela lakhe babezicingela ukususela kumzuzu wokuqala wendalo, baze bazibona bebahle ngolo hlobo, begqibelele, beqaqambe kakhulu, yaye benobukrelekrele obugqithiseleyo, bazincoma ngentshukumo engokwemvelo; Ke kaloku, bakubon' ukuba bazicingele ngokunjalo, baphuma emsebenzini, baya endleleni, baphuma buqu, besiya kuThixo. Baqala ke ngoko ngokuphakamisa umoya wabo kumbhali wabo, besithi: Ngubani na osenze saba bahle kangaka? Ngubani na othe, ekusidaleni, wasizalisa ngokugqibelela okungaka nokukhanya okungaka? Bayambona, yaye xa bembona baqubuda kuye

bamnqule kwaye bamnqule ngomphefumlo wabo uphela, beqonda zonke iingenelo zakhe, kwaye bangqine kuye ukuxhomekeka kwabo ekugqweseni koPhezukonke. Emva koko i-Divinity yaqukuqela, ngemijelo yobabalo, phakathi kwabo

intliziyo, awayitshisa ngomlilo wothando lwakhe. Ngokukhanya kwesi sibane singcwele, bayawazi umvuzo omiselwe ukuthembeka kwabo, ukuba bayanyamezela; kwanesohlwayo esibalindeleyo, ukuba abanjalo

ethembekileyo. Yeyokuba babone ubuso bukaThixo ngonaphakade, bagxothwe kude kuse ephakadeni. Kuxhomekeke kubo ukuba bakhethe.

Hayi indlela enkulu ngayo inkqubela eyenziwa lubabalo lutsha kwezi ngqondi zibalaseleyo! baqubuda baze baqubude kuMongami noThixo wabo ngokuzithoba nangokuzithoba okunzulu, ngokungathi kungokuzinikela okungenakuthintelwa ukuze baphumeze yonke imiyalelo nayo yonke intando yalo kumkani uphakamileyo ababenabo, nabafuna ukuba ngabo ngonaphakade.

kunomvuzo ngokumangalisayo. Baye badibanisa indibano eninzi yabo bonke oomoya abadaliweyo ukuba bayenze njengabo kwaye balandele umzekelo wabo: kwaye yile minqweno evuthayo kunye nokuthembeka kwiinceba zokuqala ukuba bafanelekele ngakumbi, kwaye, phakathi kwabanye, oko ubizo oluphakamileyo kwimisebenzi abazukiswa ngayo nguMdali wabo, owabenza izithunywa zezulu, oko kukuthi, abalungiseleli bokuthanda kwakhe.

Olo ke lulandelelwano kunye nokuhlelwa kwezinto ezilungileyo ababezinikwa nezaphela kulonwabo abaya kulunandipha ngonaphakade. Ngoku makhe singene ngaphakathi kweengelosi ezimbi, ngakumbi uLusifa. Ekuqaleni

emzuzwini athe wazibona kwaye wazicingela, wazithelekisa nabanye, wazifumana engoyena umhle, ukhazimle, oyena ugqibeleleyo kuzo zonke iingqondo. Waye ke ngoko ezukise okwabanye; kodwa ndiyabona ukuba endaweni yokujika, njengezithunywa ezilungileyo, iingcinga zakhe ngakuMdali wakhe, ukuba amzukise, anike imbeko kuye, azaliswe ngumbulelo nothando, wazimisa kuye ngokwakhe. ukuzithanda okwamilisela ingcambu ngakumbi nangakumbi ngezi ngcinga zifanayo. Kwakamsinyane wathandabuza ukuba ukho na uthile omhle nogqibelele ngakumbi kunaye.” Ukusuka kulo mathandabuzo wadlulela ekuzithandeni okuthile ekuzithandeni kwakhe; esiqu sakhe, nokudelela umbhali wazo zonke izinto awayenazo.

Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku akakavukelwa ngokufanelekileyo; kodwa ukuzingca kwakhe kwabeka imiqobo endleleni yobabalo, kwathintela uThixo ukuba angawugaleli entliziyweni yakhe loo msinga weentsikelelo awawugalela ngokukhululekileyo  kwezo zithunywa zilungileyo: nto leyo eyabangela ukuba amampunge akhe ajike ngokukhawuleza abe likratshi elinganyamezelekiyo. wanyanzela uThixo ukuba amohlwaye. Kwasekubeni zaqubuda izithunywa zezulu ezilungileyo, zimemela ibandla lonke ukuba lenze kwaloo nto, uLusifa nabalandeli bakhe nabo baqubuda, baqubuda  ;

iingqondo kunye nezimo ezahlukeneyo kakhulu. Bayenze ngendelelo kwaye ngokungathi ngokuthandabuza, ngaphandle

(241-245)

uthando, nokungabi naluhanahaniso, nokuhanahanisa, nokuqaqadeka okuthile, athe uThixo wabagweba kuqala, ngokurhoxisa ubabalo abalwenzileyo;

ukuxhatshazwa okungaqhelekanga, njengoko sesitshilo; eyathi kamsinya yabenza bawela kulwaphulo-mthetho olukhulu ngakumbi: kuba, ngolu hlobo ngokukodwa, inzonzobila ihlala ikhokelela kolunye olunzulu ngakumbi.

Ingqumbo ababeyikhawulele kuThixo ke ngoko ekugqibeleni yaguqulwa yaba yintiyo esesikweni eyathi yazisa ihlazo nesahlulelo eZulwini. ULusifa, okanye uSathana, ekubeni ethe waba yintloko yabavukeli, ngekratshi wavakalisa ukuba wayengafuni ukuthotyelwa okanye abandezeleke kumntu ophakamileyo; ukuba akenziwanga ukuba likhoboka likazwilakhe. Kungoko ke le ndoda inebhongo yaba nobuganga bokuchaza umbhali wobukho bayo!... Izulu!...ikratshi elingenakwenza ntoni emoyeni womntu, ukuba lingamfamekisa nezithunywa zezulu kweli nqanaba? ?… Hayi, wathi, andiyi kuxhomekeka kuwo: ngokusebenzisa amalungelo am kunye namalungelo am, ndiya kuvuka ngamandla am kwaye ndiya kuhlala phantsi koPhezukonke. Ndiya kuhlala etroneni kaSomandla; kwaye ukuba uyala ukundamkela apho, ukuba uyandichasa

ukuphakama, ndizokwazi ukumehlisa ngokwakhe…. Kwakhona, Bawo, obunjani bona ubumfama obumangalisayo obusengqondweni yasezulwini! kwaye kufuneka, emva koko, simangaliswe koko kwabantu abambalwa ababuthathaka!...”. Ngaloo ndlela, lo moya wekratshi uyahlula abemi baseZulwini, wenze itheko elikhulu, uze ube nobuganga bokubhengeza imfazwe noThixo ongcwele nowoyikekayo, osasebenzisa umonde kule mvukelo ingento.

Kwelakhe icala, iNgelosi enkulu uMikayeli akazange aphulukane neli thuba lokubonisa inzondelelo awayeyinikele kwizilangazelelo zoMdali wakhe. Emva kokuba ezame ngandlela zonke ukukhumbuza aba bavukeli kumsebenzi wabo, walungiselela kakuhle zonke ezo zidalwa zomoya zahlala zithembekile. Wazibeka entlokweni yabo, wathabatha njengesaci sakhe nesihlabo sokulwa, la mazwi: Quis ut Deus? Amazwi angenantsingiselo anokuthelekiswa noThixo.

Lathi lakufika ixesha lokugqiba ngekamva lelinye, kwabonwa amaqela amabini alungelelaniswa edabini, ngalinye likhokelwa yinkokeli enamandla neyoyikekayo. Kwabakho ke imfazwe enkulu eZulwini (1). Ndiyabona, Bawo, ukuba onke loo mandla kunye nobuchule, konke oko ubugcisa bemfazwe bakhe babonakaliswa phakathi kwabantu, ngobuqhetseba, ubukroti kunye nobuqili, xa bongezwa kuyo yonke into yokucinga kweembongi kunye neengcamango.

Ukukholwa kwezizwe ezibalelwa kwiingxilimbela zasentsomini nakuwo onke amagorha azizigantsontso, akunto ngenxa yoko kwenziwa kumacala omabini.

(1) Et factum est proelium magnum in coelo; UMichael et angeli ejus prœliabantur cum dracone, et draco pugnabat et angeli ejus: et non valuerunt, neque locus inventus est eorum ampliùs in cœlo (Apoc. 12; 7, 8).

Iinqununu, phakathi kwabanye, kwaye ingakumbi iinkosi ezimbini, zazibalula ngobugorha bobugorha obufanele umsebenzi wabo. UThixo wayivumela, ngokungathandabuzekiyo, ukuba iphelelise kokubini imvukelo yabanye kunye nokunamathela kunye nokufaneleka kwabanye. Kungenxa yoko le nto uloyiso lwaba lulungelelaniso okwexeshana; kodwa, ekugqibeleni, iqela lobulungisa laphumelela, kwaye oko akuzange kwenzeke

kungenjalo. Yonke into yavuthuluka kwicala labavukeli; bonke bazinikele kwimigudu yesiphatha-zingelosi esingenabukroti, xa uNyana kaNaphakade weza ukulungisa uloyiso aze agqibe ngekamva lamadabi. Uyavela, yaye le mikhosi inemvukelo yathi shwaka phambi kwakhe.

Uthini uDeus? Ubabona besiwa njengombane, ethabathela phezulu, ede ase enzonzobileni. Kulapho ke azibiyele khona ngelizwi elinye; ulimisela kakhulu ikamva labo ngesi sigwebo soyikekayo, ngokokude angabi nakusebenza, njengoko isazela sabo singenathemba kulungiswa (1)… , kwaye leyo, yonke imihla, iphazamisa ukuhambelana okuhle kwezidalwa

idaliwe, xa kanye walishiya iZulu lingabuyi…. Emva koko, ngubani na ongayi koyika irhamncwa elisoloko lixhobe ngokunxamnye noThixo, nelithi, kwimvukelo yalo yobudenge, libe nobuganga bokuhlasela le nkosi ingenakuguquguquka iyohlwaya ngokuqatha kangaka, nethi, kwezona zidalwa zayo zigqibeleleyo, izohlwaye ngokungayekeleliyo, ngaphandle kokuyekelela. ukucingelwa, ngaphandle kovelwano kwaye ngaphandle kwezixhobo?

ithunyelwe ukuba ibumbe, ibulawule, ibukhokele kude kuse esiphelweni, nokusixhasa kuzo zonke iintlaselo zeentshaba zaso….

Ah! Bawo, hayi indlela owandibona ngayo ubumnandi nobukhulu  !

Ndingayibuyisela njani kuwe?… Ndalibona eli Bandla liphantsi kwembonakalo yomyezo womlingo, apho lalibekwe khona, ngocwangco, lonke ulawulo lwecawa, abapostile, nabo bonke ababeza kungena ezihlangwini zabo. UJ.-C. wabonakala entlokweni yawo waza wawanxibisa phambi kwam ngamandla akhe obuthixo, ekwimo  yesambatho esimenyezelayo nobumhlophe awayebengezela ngaso amehlo am. Uqalele ke ngewokuqala kubapostile, esuka apho waya kumahlakani akhe, wada waya kubo  bonke

abalandela emva kwabo de kusetyenziswe iinkulungwane. Ndinxibe ngesi sinxibo simenyezelayo nesingaqondakaliyo, le ndibano iqaqambileyo kum yabonakala intle kakhulu kwaye injalo

ekhanyayo, yayikhupha ivumba elimnandi nelinomtsalane kangangokuba ndavuya kakhulu. Ndaba nomfanekiso-ngqondweni ndibona u-J.-C. kwisibane ngasinye kwezi zibane, ndaza ndabajonga phantse njengezithixo ezininzi...

Kulungile ukuba ndikuxelele ngesi sihlandlo, Bawo, ukuba kwenye indawo, ndathi ndakusondela kumbingeleli, ndambona ngamehlo

umoya, wambathiswe ngokukhanya okufanayo, ndaza ndafunda, kumthendeleko, ukuba oku kukhanya kwaphawula isimilo sobubingeleli athi wonke umbingeleli ambethe ngalo umiselo lwakhe. Hayi indlela obubukhulu ngayo, obunjani ubungangamsha, obunjani ububingeleli bukaJ.-C.!… Makhe sibuyele kwindibano ebekekileyo enabo bonke abalungiseleli bayo. Yathi kum inkosi yabo, yandibonisa bona, Naba abalungiseleli bam

; naba baya kugweba indalo iphela kunye nam; Lowo ubavayo bona uva mna; Lowo uzidelayo ugiba mna; Owabekekileyo uyandizukisa; nabani na ozichukumisayo uyandichukumisa…. Wandula ke wandinika ukuqonda, ukuba nguye ngokwakhe owabeka elowo umfundisi wakhe eCaweni yakhe, njengoko inguye ngokwakhe owabeka ibandla.

iinkwenkwezi esibhakabhakeni. Nguye obamisela imida yamandla abo, kanye njengoko elanda kwisijikelezi-langa ngasinye sesibhakabhaka umgca omele uwuchaze ekuhambeni kwawo. Unika ngamnye umsebenzi aza kubaphendulisa ngawo; yena

umphefumlo uya kuphendula kuye ngenxa yoko kubekwe phezu kwakhe. Nguwuphi umthwalo? Kodwa akukho gunya lexeshana elinokubashenxisa, lichithe igunya labo, lithintele amandla abo, okanye linciphise igunya labo.

Ndabona ngoko, Bawo, le ntsimi intle, okanye umyezo, omele ubizwe ngokuba yiparadesi yokwenene yasemhlabeni; kodwa andizange ndinikele ngqalelo nayiphi na into ngaphandle kwezinto, umntu awayenokuzijonga njengeenkwenkwezi ezininzi ezikhanyiswe lilanga lobulungisa. Ndabona inkundla engenakuphoswa apho uMoya oyiNgcwele ahlala khona, nalapho asasaza izihlabo zakhe zobuthixo kuyo yonke iCawe ayikhokelayo ayixhasayo. Ayinasiphoso, kuba isiseko sayo siyinyaniso. Ndabona ukulunga koMsindisi kuqaqamba kwaye kukhazimla ngobengezelo olukhulu, kwaye banikela ngawo onke amandla abo, konke ukusebenza kwawo kwiiSakramente ezisixhenxe awatyebisa ngazo iBandla lakhe. Ah! Bawo, imbonakalo entle! ..

Ubungangamsha boBhaptizo. Umanyano olubalaseleyo lwababhaptiziweyo kunye noBathathu Emnye uNgcwele.

Ubhaptizo olungcwele ngaphezu kwako konke lwaziswa kum apho njengomthombo wokuqala wenceba yosindiso. Ndabona kusenzeka phambi kwamehlo am olu manyano lubalaseleyo nolungathethekiyo, isivumelwano esingenakuguqulwa nesinzulu esiphakathi kwesidalwa kunye noMdali.

Ndivile ukuba la maqela mabini avumelene

imbeko omnye komnye. Isidalwa sathi: Ndiyathembisa ukuphila nokufa kwinkolelo yeCawa ye-JC yokwenene; Ndiyathembisa ukulwa

kuse ekufeni idemoni, ihlabathi, nenyama, eziziintshaba zoThixo  wam, uMkhululi wam, nevangeli yakhe; Ndiyayilahla ngonaphakade, kwaye andifuni kwanto endidibanisa nabo  ….

Waza uPhakade waphuma etroneni yakhe ekhanyayo, ekhanya ekuphakameni kwezulu: Ewe, sidalwa sam, wathi, apha, ecaleni kwam, ndiyathembisa ngenceba yakho: sele ungowam ngendlela yendalo, kungekudala. uya kuba ngowam ngesibizo esithandeka ngakumbi, eso sokwenziwa kwabantwana, endingasayi kuphinda ndibone nto kuwe ngaphandle komfanekiso ophilayo woNyana wam oyintanda, omnye ngokwakhe . Ke ngoko ndiyalilibala, ekuqwalaseleni kwalo, ulwaphulo-mthetho owazalelwa kulo unetyala, kwaye ndiya kunika amanzi obhaptizo lwakho isidima sokukuhlambulula kulo; Ndiya kukuxhasa ngeengozi; Ndiya kukukhusela ezintshabeni zosindiso lwakho; kwaye ukuba, ngobuthathaka bendalo yakho, uthe waphulukana nobutyebi bobumsulwa bakho, uya kufumana esifubeni seBandla lam, othi ube lilungu lalo, zonke iindlela zokuyibuyisela….

Ngequbuliso uJ.-C. wayalela abalungiseleli bakhe ukuba basebenzise isikhundla sabo esiphakamileyo, bewugqiba lo mnqophiso wobuthixo; nto leyo abayenzayo ngoko nangoko. Ndabona uMoya oyiNgcwele esihla kwindawo yokubhaptiza kwaye ethatha abo basandul’ ukubhaptizwa, ngokudityaniswa kwezi mpawu zintathu zezakwalizwi, ukholo, ithemba kunye nesisa. Ndibone ipeyinti ethandekayo kaBathathu Emnye, okanye ndibhale umfanekiso wayo nzulu kule  intsha

UmKristu, ngomlinganiswa ongacimekiyo aya kuwuthwala kuyo yonke indawo, oya kuthi ngonaphakade abangele nokuba uzuko lwakhe eZulwini, okanye isiphithiphithi sakhe esihogweni... (Le ngcinga yokugqibela indibetha ngoloyiko.)

(251-255)

Kungoko ke, Bawo, ukuba abantwana bokwenyaniso bakaThixo noJ.-C. baye basekwa ngamaxesha onke; le yindlela iBandla lakhe emhlabeni lazaliswa ngayo ngabemi baseZulwini.

Ndababona ngoko abapostile namabamba abo; bebalandela, umkhosi owoyisileyo, abafeli-nkolo, ibutho elizukileyo labavuma izono neentombi ezinyulu. Ndababona bonke abantwana bakaThixo, bonke abemi bobukumkani bukaJ.-C.; abangcwele bazo zonke izizukulwana, kuzo zonke izini, kuzo zonke iimeko, bephuma kumazwe onke ehlabathi, bemanyene ngomzimba, bemanyaniswe lukholo olunye, ubhaptizo olunye, ithemba elifanayo, nemixokelelwane encomekayo yothando olunye, ifakwe kancinci; kuba uJ.-C. uye wandinika ukuqonda ukuba, enoba umKristu wayekude kangakanani na, xa wayebekwe esazulwini sonqulo-zithixo, wayesoloko

izulu nomhlaba, ngoxa elondoloza ukholo olufanayo kuzo, olusekelwe kwakwezo njongo zivuselela ithemba labo; unelungelo lokufumana umvuzo ofanayo, kwaye unokuthembela kuncedo olufanayo ukuze awufezekise. Oku kubizwa ngokuba nguMthendeleko weeNgcwele, obumba iBandla lokwenyani le-J.C., elimanyanisa izulu nomhlaba, neliquka imiphefumlo yabangasekhoyo esazifumana inetyala kubulungisa bukaThixo. Eli Bandla, limiselwe ngolo hlobo, alinqunyulwanga yindawo okanye lixesha. Yenzeka jikelele kububanzi bayo kunye nakwixesha layo. Iqulethe kwaye ivale ngaphakathi kwayo yonke into elungileyo, ngaphandle

ngaphandle kwaboni abangalahlwanga lukholo. Wonke umntu obhaptiziweyo ungowakhe njengelungu lakhe, elilungileyo okanye elibi, ade abe nguye

ufe umzimba ngokwahlukana, okanye unqunyulwe ngekrele lokucamagusha...

Ibekwe embindini wale ndibano intle, yenyuka phezu kwesiseko esincomekayo esi sibane sikhanyayo sokholo, sathi santamisa macala onke iintlantsi zaso kwaye.

yakhanyisa yonke into ngokukhanya kwayo kobuthixo. Sisikhokelo sokwenene somKrestu; lilanga lokwenyani lomntu othe wabususa ubumnyama bonqulo-zithixo waza wahlangula uhlanga loluntu kobona busuku bunzulu noboyikekayo…. Esinjani sona isipho esivela eZulwini kwaye indlela ephakame kwaye yaneliseke ngayo ingqondo yomntu! Kagakanani

umoya womntu ukhanyiselwe kwaye wandiswa bubuhle boku kukhanya kuthambileyo nokuphilayo!….

Nangona ilungu ngalinye eli butho lithandekayo leBandla elifundisayo lalibonakala liqaqambile kum, wayemela kuphela ngokungagqibelelanga kombingeleli owongamileyo, ekuhlala kuye kuphela uzuko nobungangamsha bobuthixo kunye nobuninzi bobubingeleli obungunaphakade abufumanayo kuye. lusenza kubungangamsha babangcwele. Ndambona ephosa eli butho likhethiweyo lijonge

Ndaza ndeva ilizwi lakhe lisithi, Nanku umkhosi woloyiso, endiwuchasayo iinzame zikaSathana. Sinako ukuyihlasela, kodwa asinakoyisa. Itotshi eyikhanyisayo inokuthuthwa okanye isitheliswe, kodwa ayinako ukucinywa. Ihlala isilwa, kwaye isoloko isoyisa, iBandla lam liya kuhlala ngaphandle kwezona zaqhwithi zinamandla kwaye ngaphandle kwayo yonke imizamo  yeentshaba zalo, kuba iziseko zalo zibekwe phezu kwelitye eliqinileyo  ,

yinyaniso yelizwi lam, endiya kuthabatha ukubambelela kulo. Ewe, ndiya kuba, okanye kanye ndisesifubeni sayo ukuze ndiphilise kwaye ndisikhusele; Ndikunye naye kude kube sekupheleni kwephakade nangaphaya, kwaye amandla esihogo awasoze amoyise. »

ICawe, yaqhubeka uDade, kwakhona ndaboniswa phantsi komfanekiselo womdiliya, intsimi, umthi, isangqa, njl. njl., njl., njengoko siza kubona kamva. . Kodwa, Bawo, andinakuyeka ukunixelela apha ngesinye isici athe uThixo wandenza ngaso ukuba ndichukumise olu manyano emnweni.

encomekayo elawula phakathi kwabantwana bokwenyaniso beli Bandla lingcwele, elibubukumkani buka-J.-C. unyana wakhe. Nanku umgca:

IKonsathi eNgconoyo yeeNdlela zokuSebenza zoMkhosi weCawe.

Ukudlula, ngenye imini yasentwasahlobo, kufuphi nenye yeefestile zasekuhlaleni, ezijonge kwindledlana yemithi emide ebiyelwe kwindawo ebiyelweyo (le ndledlana, Bawo, yagawulwa kwiminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo, ikwindawo oyibonayo ngoku imiqolo emithathu. yemithi yekalika emincinci ethe yatshintshwa apho), ibiyintsasa emnandi; Ndandifuna, njengoko ndandisele ndisenza ngamanye amaxesha, ukuzinika okomzuzwana ulonwabo olumsulwa lokuva ukungqungqa kweentaka ezininzi ezahlukeneyo ezazithe ngcu apho. Iingcinga ezaboniswa ngulo mboniso unomtsalane kum ekuqaleni zazithandeka kakhulu; kungekudala baba buhlungu, kwaye ekugqibeleni baphela njengoko uza kubona….

Hayi indlela entle ngayo yonke into kwindalo! Ndathi kum; hayi indlela yonke into elapho ilithobela ngayo ilizwi loMdali! Hayi, uzuko lwSomandla yonke into! Zonke izidalwa ziyamsikelela, ngamnye ngendlela yakhe. Olunjani ulungelelwano, olunjani lona Imvisiswano, esinjani sona isivumelwano esigqibeleleyo! enjani ukothusa ikonsathi phakathi kwezidalwa ezingenangqondo!…. Ngaba kuyimfuneko, oh Thixo wam! ukuba isidalwa esinikwe ingqiqo kwaye sizaliswe ngamalungelo amaninzi kunye nobabalo, ibe nguwe kuphela obeka isiphithiphithi emhlabeni ongumsebenzi wakho, ngokuvukela wena, ngokuchasa imiyalelo yakho kwaye ukwala ukuthobela intando yakho engcwele! .... Amaxesha amaninzi ndandisiva isandi seentaka; kodwa ayikhe iyenze le ngoma

(256-260)

indenze ndacinga nzulu. Ingqondo yam yayikhathazekile kwaye nentliziyo yam yayichukumisekile ziindlela abandibona ngazo. Ekubandezelekeni kwam, ndathetha neNkosi yethu, ndathi kuyo, Angathini na, Nkosi, ukuba umntu asuke asuke kuwe, ngoxa zonke izidalwa zikusikelela, yaye, kwanezilwanyana, zonke zivuma indumiso yakho? . ..

Enjani yona ukuba ngqwabalala! onjani wona umbulelo ongazenzisiyo ngakuye!” Ngoxa  ndandikhalaza ngolo hlobo, uJ.  Wazalwa

musa ukuba buhlungu, mntwana wam, wathi kum, xa esondela kum, yonke into ayivukelwanga okanye ilahlekile, njengoko ucinga, phakathi kwabalingane bakho: ukuqaphela isiphoso sakho kule nkalo, waqhubeka, mamela kwaye unikele ingqalelo kakhulu Ndiza  kukwenza uve…. Ngephanyazo, Bawo, ndeva ngaphakathi kwam  a

Ikhonsathi yemvisiswano yothando lobuthixo eyaphuma kuBungcwele ngamazwi  awahlukeneyo aphindaphindeneyo yaza yaphumela kwiwaka elinewaka leentsikelelo zozuko,  iindumiso, iimbeko nonqulo eyathi yazinikezela koyena  Bathathu Emnye uNgcwele.

Umthendeleko wabaNgcwele.

Andinakukuxelela ngenene ukuba le konsathi yobuthixo yavela ezulwini okanye emhlabeni, nokuba iimvakalelo zam zangaphandle zachaphazeleka okanye azichaphazelekanga; into endiyaziyo kukuba ndiyivile ngeenxa zonke kum; Bendinje ndiseziko, okanye ebekum, wawuzalisa umoya wam, ingqondo yam nentliziyo yam, wawadla onke amandla am... Andinakwenzeka ukuba Bawo ndithethe kuwe.

olunjani uthando lobuthixo olwalungumphefumlo walo oluzise kuye kunye nemvisiswano, kwaye ngaphezu kwako konke ngobo bumnandi obunomtsalane obuya ngqo entliziyweni, buyibambe kwaye bususe ngaphandle kobundlobongela….

Into encomekayo, kwaye ngubani onokuziva engakwazi ukuzichaza! kwiindidi ngeethowuni nakumahluko wokuguquguquka kwesi lizwi singcwele, ndazahlula iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zeempawu ezahlukeneyo zeMithetho yeeNgcwele zeCawa, inzondelelo evuthayo yabapostile, inkalipho yokungathembeki yabavumayo, ukomelela nokuzingisa abafeli-nkolo, ubunyulu obungenakuguqulwa beentombi ezinyulu kunye nokuncwina kwazo okutshisayo, ukuthembeka okungenakutshitshiswa kweqhina lomtshato, ubungcwele obufanelekileyo belifa ngalinye. Yonke into, kunye nenxalenye nganye yale nto, yanikezelwa kwaye yabonakaliswa ngeethoni ezifanelekileyo kunye nezifaniso, ngama-nuances ahlala engabonakali, ngokuchukumisa okungaphezulu okanye ngaphantsi; ekugqibeleni, ezi gradations ezahlukeneyo zaba

zahlukahlukene kwaye zidityaniswe nobugcisa obuninzi, ubucekeceke kunye nolungelelwaniso, kangangokuba akuzange emhlabeni kubekho into enjengayo, akukho nto isondela kuyo nakancinane.

Ingoma yeentaka ndandiyilibele kwaphela; kuba ngalamzuzu intliziyo yam yayidada luvuyo kwaye ndingasakwazi ukuboleka enye into, xa ekupheleni kwekonsathi eyandithimbelayo, iNkosi yethu yandibhekisa ezi zinto.

amazwi athuthuzelayo: "Uyabona, mntwana wam," ukuba yonke into ayilahlekanga

njengoko nakholwayo. Uyabona ukuba kusekho imiphefumlo ethembekileyo emhlabeni engayeki ukundidumisa, ukundisikelela nokundithanda, ngokumanyana neBandla eloyisayo ukwenza apha ngezantsi koko kwenziwa esibhakabhakeni; kuba konke enikuvileyo nje yisampulu encinci yekonsathi ephuma kwindibano yabangcwele bomhlaba kunye nokulunga kweCawa yam yomkhosi: awukayiva nanye into yeekonsathi ezonwabileyo ezinemimoya esikelelekileyo eyenza isibhakabhaka. IYerusalem ihlokoma ngokungapheziyo…. Nangona kunjalo, uBawo, ekudibaneni okuncomekayo kwezi nxalenye zimbini kunye nemiphefumlo kwindawo yentlambululo-miphefumlo, nakubudlelwane babo kunye nokwabelana ngesondo, ukuba

ubudlelane beengcwele, iBandla lokwenyaniso lika-J.-C.: eli butho lihle nelimangalisayo lixabiso legazi likaThixo, owona msebenzi ubalaseleyo wobumnini-mandla onke nento yolona thando lwakhe lunenceba; Ekugqibeleni, ulawulo lwakhe olungunaphakade.

Ngaba kuyimfuneko, Bawo wam, ukuba ndingabi nanto yakuzixela kuwe egameni lika-J.-C. Ndiyavuma kuwe ukuba ingqondo yam iphazamisekile kwaye intliziyo yam ingathanda ukungayifuni; kodwa, ekubeni onjalo kumele ukuba sibe sisabelo sakhe kude kube sekupheleni, ngaba bekungayi kuba kukungcatsha injongo yakhe nokuyonakalisa inyaniso, ukuthi cwaka koko izulu lazisa kum? Ngaba oko bekungayi kuba kukungathobeli u-J.-C. ondiyalela ukuba ndithethe? Ngoko ke ndothetha, Bawo, konke oko ndiya kukwenza; Ndiya kuthetha nantoni na afuna ndiyithethe kuye kubo bonke abantu ababumba ubukumkani bakhe, kwaye oko kuya kuba ngomso.

§. II.

Iintshutshiso zokugqibela zeCawa. Izizathu zabo kunye nemiphumo yazo.

USathana wazikhulula ngokuchasene neBandla.

Ah! utata wam ! watsho uDade kum, emva komqondiso wakhe wesiqhelo womnqamlezo, Bawo wam!…. UThixo undenza ndibone ububi bukaLusifa kunye nenjongo yobudemon kunye negqwethekileyo yabaxhasi bakhe ngokuchasene neBandla elingcwele lika-J.-C. -

(261-265)

ukucoca iindlela kunye neendlela zoMchasi-Kristu, olawulo lwakhe lusondela. Ngempefumlo eyonakeleyo yalo moya ubalaseleyo, batyhefa abantu, njengoko abantu abaninzi ababebethwe sisibetho babechazelana ngesigulo sabo, kwaye ukosuleleka kwaba yinto eqhelekileyo. Enjani yona isiphithiphithi! yintoni ihlazo

!….

Lonto Bawo yinto endiyibone isenzeka phambi kwamehlo am. YayinguSathana ngokwakhe owasasaza kwiisathelayithi zakhe, awathi wazenza amahlakani ezenzo zakhe zolwaphulo-mthetho, into ethile engcolileyo awathi wayichukumisa ebunzi okanye kwindawo ethile eluswini, ngokungathi ushicilela umzobo.

isimilo sokuzinikela emsebenzini wakhe. Ezi sathelayithi, ezichukunyiswe ngolo hlobo, zabonakala kum ngoko nangoko zigutyungelwe liqhenqa ezaziza kubasulela ngalo bonke abantu ababezivumela ukuba bachukunyiswe zizo. Lo mzobo,  Bawo wam, ubhekiselele ngaphakathi nangaphandle kweCawe; kwaye nangona kufanele ukuba ibe nokufezekiswa kwayo okugqibeleleyo kuhlaziyo oluqalayo, nangona kunjalo izichaza kakuhle izimilo kunye nempumelelo yabo bayilungiselele ixesha elide. Le yimigudu yesihogo yokutshabalalisa emiphefumlweni ulawulo lukaJ.-C., nokuphazamisa abathembekileyo ekusebenziseni unqulo lwabo. Aba bathunywa bedemon, aba bangaphambili boMchasi-Kristu, njengoko ndiye ndenziwa ukuba ndazi, ngababhali abangahloneli Thixo abathi, ngeenkqubo zabo zoburhelembhe kunye nezokulukuhla, kudala bephosa iidemon  .

Iziseko zenkolo elawula umcimbi osulelekileyo, onxibelelana nosulelo kuyo yonke indawo, kwaye engeyiyo enye into ngaphandle kobu bume obungcolileyo bokungahloneli Thixo, njl. njl.; uburheletya obuzuzwa macala onke kwaye bubangele bonke ububi, phantsi kwegama elikhethekileyo lefilosofi , engazange ifane. Kodwa ke, Bawo, nanga amazwi athile endaweva ngokucacileyo, kwaye ndisacela ukuba ungatshintshi nto kuwo; kum zazingathi zivela kuThixo: “Abalindi balele; iintshaba zatyhoboza imiqobo zaza zangena kumbindi wesixeko. Bahamba baya kufikelela kwiinqaba, apho babeka khona ikomkhulu labo. Amandla e

ubumnyama bandise ubukhosi babo; wazenzela indlu yesikhungu; wenze izibingelelo, wamisa kuzo izithixo. usathana uyeza

ukungena kwindlu yesikhungu yakhe, njl. njl., njl. »

Emva koko, Bawo (ungatshintshi nto okwangoku kule nto ndiza kukuxelela yona), ndabona amandla amakhulu ephakama ngokuchasene neBandla elingcwele. Wasincothula, wasiphanga, wasiqwenga isidiliya sikaYehova; wayenza yaba ngumchankcatho wabadlulayo, wayibhenca ekungcikivweni kwazo zonke iintlanga. Emva kokunyelisa ukungatshati nokucinezela urhulumente wonqulo, lo mntu unekratshi waziphanga izinto zeCawa, waza wambatha amandla kaBawo wethu Oyingcwele uPopu, omntu negunya lakhe wawadelayo. …. Ndabona

zigxadazelisa iintsika zeBandla; Ndade ndabona intlaninge enkulu yawa apho sasinesizathu sokulindela uzinzo olungakumbi…. Ewe, Bawo, phakathi kwabo babeza kumxhasa, kwakukho amagwala, abantu abangafanelekanga.

abalusi, iingcuka ezigqunywe ngofele lwemvana, ezazingena nje esibayeni ukuze nje zilukuhle imiphefumlo engenamsebenzi, zixhele umhlambi kaJ.

nikela ilifa likaYehova ekubhuqweni kwabaphangi, iitempile, nezibingelelo ezingcwele ukuba zibe yinqambi….

Utsho uYehova ngomsindo wakhe nangobushushu bobulungisa, ukuthi, Yeha ke, abakreqi nabakreqi! yeha kubarhwaphilizi bempahla yeBandla lam, kwanabo bonke abo badela igunya lalo! Baya kuba noburhalarhume bam; Ndiya kuyiqhumisa le intle kakhulu

ngqindilili uya kuthi shwaka phambi kwam njengomsi onyukayo emoyeni, ngenxa yobugwenxa bakhe. Ndiya kucela kuye ilifa

imiselwe ngokusisiseko ukugcina iitempile zam nabalungiseleli bam,

ngokungathi kukukhulula ihlwempu lam. Ndiya kuyenza lukhuni intliziyo yakhe, ndimfamekise ingqondo yakhe, enze isono phezu kwesono; yothi ngokwenza okubi, iba ilungisa; kwaye ukuwa kwabo banxilisayo kuya kuba nzulu ngakumbi kwaye

kube kokukhona bebulalayo, njengoko beya kuziphakamisela phezulu ngekratshi labo. Apha, Bawo, sisizathu sokuqala sobu bukhali beNkosi; ifanele ingqalelo.

Ubume bokuzingca ngefilosofi; uvukela uThixo ngokwakhe. Ulindelwe sisohlwayo esibi.

Ngokwendlela awandibonisa ngayo, eli kratshi, nelona lingenakunyamezeleka emehlweni akhe, aliyonto nje eqhelekileyo, ngokomzekelo, enjengeyomntu oqhayisa ngeetalente zakhe okanye ubutyebi bakhe; le nto iyinto encinci engenamsebenzi ephantse yadibana nekratshi elikhupha kuThixo ngokwakhe ukuba aphikise amalungelo akhe kwaye alahleke ukuthobela; Kuba olu hlobo lwekratshi lusifana naloo nto ezulwini, yamphakamisa uLusifa wamchasa uPhezukonke…

ibonisa, emele ibonakalise imvukelo kaMchasi-Kristu, esele iphila kwaye isoloko ivuselela izandulela zayo, ndithetha abangahloneli Thixo banamhlanje nakwiminyaka yonke, abanesibindi nababenobuganga bokunyelisa igama elingcwele likaThixo kwaye

aphakamise umgangatho ngokuchasene neCawa ka-J.-C. unyana wakhe, ngokuhlasela iinyaniso zokholo ekugcinwe kuzo.

(266-270)

Obu bugqwesileyo bobume bendalo ukukhohlisa kunye nokonakalisa iingqondo, ukuthakatha ukucinga, ukumangalisa ingqondo kunye nokuqonda. Esona siphumo siqhelekileyo sesona sohlwayo silungileyo nesona sibi kakhulu, kuba sihlala sigqibela ngokumfamekisa ingqondo kwaye siyenze lukhuni intliziyo ngenxa yeenyaniso ezityhiliweyo kunye.

inkolelo yayo iyimfuneko elusindisweni… Isoloko ityekele kwizinto ezintsha kwaye ityekele emposweni, izenza, ngokwendlela yayo yokuhanahanisa, iinkqubo zoburhelembhe nokungahloneli Thixo; ubungqina busenokuyibetha emehlweni alo, inyaniso inokuyihenda intliziyo yayo, ibambelele kwiingcamango zayo ezintsonkothileyo nezingeyonyaniso, iwavala amehlo aso ekukhanyeni kobungqina, iyenza lukhuni intliziyo yawo.

ngokuchasene nokuzisola, kwaye uyazingisa ekulweni inyaniso njengesona sithuko sibi kumoya kaThixo…. Ekugqibeleni uwela kubumfama kangangokuba ade athabathe nezenzo zakhe ezigwenxa njengezenzo ezincomekayo, aze ngokwenza ububi akholelwe ukuba ngenene wenza okulungileyo. Ke akunto ingaqhelekanga ukubona umntu oze koku, eqhayisa ngobubi bakhe, ethabatha ulwaphulo-mthetho ngokwalo ngenxa yomsebenzi olungileyo, eziba nomfanekiso-ngqondweni wakhe enikela inkonzo kuThixo, emkholisayo ngesenzo esithethelelayo, esimkhubekisayo. ngubani na omhlazisayo… Ewe, la marhamncwa aya kucinga ukuba angawonqulo ngokuhlambela iitempile nokutshabalalisa unqulo. Kwangokunjalo baya kuqhayisa egameni lama-patriots ngokubhukuqa yonke imithetho yoluntu eyenza ukhuseleko lwelizwe likayise, yonke imigaqo

ukuthanda izwe nobuntu: kwa kanye ukubulawa kwabemi kunye nabefundisi benkolo kuya kuba kula mavolontiya angaboniyo ibe sisenzo senkolo, kunye nokubhukuqwa kwayo yonke imithetho eyona nto ingcwele kuyo yonke imisebenzi….  Ngoko kulapho olu hlobo lwekratshi luphela ngokungenasiphoso! Ukuqina  kwe

Intliziyo kunye nobumfama bengqondo obufikelela ekungaqondini kwaye bubhukuqe ubungqina bemigaqo yokuqala….

UThixo ke undenza ndibone, Bawo, ukuba olu hlobo lwempakamo lunezothe emehlweni akhe, ukuba ulusukela ngohlobo lokungakhathali olungenakuchazwa, kwaye akunakwenzeka ukuba umntu athembe ukuba makaphumle ukuzisa. malunga nokuguqulwa kwala mashwa. Ewe, Bawo, uThixo angathanda ukuxolela naluphi na olunye ulwaphulo-mthetho, kuba naluphi na olunye ulwaphulo-mthetho aluchasananga kangako naye: naluphi na olunye ulwaphulo-mthetho aluthwali ngaphakathi kwalo elo nqanaba lobubi eliluhlaselayo, obucaphukela iimpawu zakhe zobuThixo: le mvukelo inganyamezelekiyo, oku. imfazwe evulelekileyo nebhengeziweyo ayithiyileyo ngokuyintloko, nalutshaba lwanaphakade nolungenakulungiseka... Ngoko masingamangalisi ukuba, behamba ngokuzolileyo ngendlela eqalekisiweyo nengafanelekanga, la mavolontiya aziimfama afikelela kwisiphelo esibuhlungu, aze awe. ukuya ezantsi enzonzobileni eyoyikekayo kunye noLusifa inkosi yabo, ngelo xesha babecinga, njengaye, ngokunyukela phezulu esibhakabhakeni. Iya kuba njalo ke isiphelo sabo; kwaye yintoni na kuyo

yoyikeka kakhulu, ndibona kuThixo ukuba isigwebo sinjengokungathi sithwaliwe, kwaye, ngaphandle kommangaliso wobabalo, ekungekho bani unokuthembisa, uya kuba nayo.

ngokungenasiphoso ukwenziwa kwayo…. Kodwa, Bawo, njengokuba ilixa lokuthobela kwam, ndiyakucela ukuba mandithethelele ukuba ndithe ndayeka ukuqhubeka ndide kube kamva.

§. III.

Isikhalazo sika-J.-C. ngeentlekele eziya kuphanzisa zonke izikumkani zamaKatolika, ngakumbi iFransi. Amahlazo abefundisi ababi.

“Egameni loYise, loNyana neloMoya oyiNgcwele. »

Bawo, ngobunye ubusuku umama endilalisile edepo, ngenxa yokhuseleko olukhulu lwendlu, ndeva, xa ndivukayo, ilizwi elibuhlungu libonakala kum liphuma ecaleni kwecawe, kwaye kwakuthe cwaka. ephuma kongcwele

umnquba apho kugcinwa khona iSakramente eSikelelekileyo yesibingelelo. Ndaqonda ngokulula ukuba nguJ.-C. owayethandaza kuYise ongunaPhakade. Ngoko ndaboleka, kunye

nikela ingqalelo engakumbi, uphulaphule elo lizwi lichukumisayo, eneneni yayililizwi lomntu, kodwa amazwi alo avakaliswa kabuhlungu nalusizi, ndiyakholwa, ayenamandla, amandla okuvakalisa ilizwi lomntu elingazange libe nalo, kwaye elingenako ukuba nalo. xa ingenziwanga bubuThixo. Kwangaxeshanye, ndaziva ndingenwe bubukho bukaThixo, ndaza ndeva, kangangoko ndinokugweba, umthandazo owawunento yokwenza kakhulu nalowo woMyezo weMinquma... J.-C. endixelela ukuba ndize kuthandaza naye… Ndaphakama ngoko nangoko, ndilandela imvume eqhelekileyo endayifumana kumama wethu, nangasiphi na isizathu kunye nesizathu. Ndazimanya neNkosi yam kwaye ndahlala ngaphezu kweyure emthandazweni kunye  naye...

Hayi indlela owawuvuya ngayo Dadewethu, ndakuphazamisa, ukuze ndinxulumane ngolo hlobo nomthandazo woNyana kaThixo!... Ah! uBawo waphendula uDade, olulonwabo

yayinkulu, yinyani; kodwa ukuba beniyazi into endiyivayo, nokuba ibindilahlekele kangakanani na, beniya kubona ukuba ubabalo olunjalo alunamona ngokwemvelo. Nangona kunjalo, kufuneka kuvunywe kuwe, ndazifumana ndonwabile ukwabelana ngeentlungu zoMsindisi wam noThixo wam, kwaye ndimncede, nangayiphi na indlela.

(271-275)

ngaloo ndlela, ukubathwala ngokubanyamezela kunye naye. Olunjani lona ulonwabo! kodwa yeyiphi intlungu!...

Ndeva ke, Bawo, izimbonono zoNyana kaThixo, nokukhalaza kwakhe ngaboni, abathe walifumana kakhulu ikamva labo.

umdla. Izenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho awayebonakala echukumiseke kakhulu kuzo, nawayelila ngokukrakra kakhulu, yayikukunganyaniseki, ukunganyaniseki, amanyundululu namahlazo ababingeleli ababi nawo onke amarhamente athi, ngokunxaxha kwawo nangobomi bawo obulihlazo, ahlambela imithendeleko. , ehlazisa ububingeleli bakhe aze abangele ukuba igama lakhe elingcwele linyeliswe Bangaphi na abalungiseleli bezibingelelo zam, watsho, benza okubi ngaphezu kokuba bakhonza usindiso lwemiphefumlo endiyikhululeyo! Baba kwiimpahla zeBandla lam, ngemithendeleko yabo, imidlalo yabo neenkcitho zabo ezingenamsebenzi, ngeendleko zamahlwempu ababezibile; bathi ezintliziyweni zabo, Zezethu ezo zinto, akukho ntlawulo naluxanduva. Okunjani kona ukurhwaphiliza! Umbingelelo onjani!

J.-C. ke ngoko walilela isikhubekiso sikaThixo, ngenxa yokuphanziswa kweBandla, ngenxa yokuphela kokholo nothando; ekulahlekeni kwemiphefumlo nangelishwa labalahlekisiweyo, isihogo esizalisa ngako phezu kwako konke oko sikwenzileyo ukubalondoloza kuso. Walila ngenxa yabo bonke ububi boluntu, ngakumbi abo amaKristu asongelwa ngokohlwaywa ngenxa yokungathembeki okuninzi kunye nolwaphulo-mthetho olwenziwe... Ilizwi lakhe lalivakala njengelomhlobo othetha

uyamthemba umhlobo wakhe kwaye ukhalaza ngeentlungu ezibangelwa kuye ... Ntombi yam, wathi kum ebukrakra bentliziyo yakhe, kodwa ngelizwi likayise kunye nokuphalaza kwentliziyo eyangena kum ngeentlungu nentlungu. ngoko nangoko: Ntombi yam, uya kuyikholelwa? Kufunyenwe ooYuda eBandleni lam bandingcatshileyo bandithengisa: Ndilahliwe, ndikhanyelwe kwakhona; siye sahambisa

UBarrabas, nam sagwetyelwa intambo. Ndabethwa ngenkohlakalo yaye

Isithsaba sameva. Ndigutyungelwe lihlazo nezingcikivo; Ndasiwa ekugwetyweni ukuze ndibethelelwe okwesibini!….. Ezinjani zona izohlwayo

ufanelwe kakhulu kwaye ingqumbo egazi kangaka! Nangona kunjalo, ndiyivile imithandazo yeBandla lam; ukuncwina kwayo kundigonyamele; ke ndigqibe kwelokuba ndilifinyeze ixesha lokuthinjwa kwayo.

Indlela yokuthomalalisa ingqumbo kaThixo; dibana no-J.-C. kwaye uhloniphe iimfihlakalo zoMzolelo wakhe.

Ngaloo ndlela, uJ.-C. kulo mthandazo unyanisekileyo wayebonakala engubawo olungileyo ocatshukiswa kukuba abantwana abavukelayo bamnyanzele ukuba abohlwaye ngokunxamnye nentliziyo yakhe naphezu kwako nje ukubathanda kwakhe. Ngamanye amaxesha ndandimbona ephakamisela isandla sakhe  ngakubo, ebagrogrisa ngokubacim’ igama, kwangaxeshanye enikela ngenxa yabo intlungu yakhe, intlupheko yakhe, igazi lakhe nokufa kwakhe. Wabonakala evakalisa ilahleko engunaphakade kubo, wawathetha onke amanxeba omzimba wakhe wobuThixo ngenxa  yabo.

ukhululiwe kuyo. Wandimema ukuba ndithelele kwimithandazo yethu ekwenzeni ugonyamelo kubulungisa bukaYise; kodwa, kubumnandi obunzulu apho umphefumlo wam wawukhona

ukuntywila, ngenxa yokuba inxalenye yentlungu yakhe yayicinezele kwaye ngokungathi ikhukulise intliziyo yam ehluphekayo, kwakungekho nto ndinokuyenza ngaphandle kokukhala nokulila ecaleni kwakhe. Kwakule meko ilusizi, uBawo, awathi ngokwakhe wayalela

indlela endikubonise yona kuqala, ukuthomalalisa umsindo wesibhakabhaka esicaphukileyo, ngokuhlonipha iimfihlakalo zothando lwaso olubuhlungu……

Ubungangamsha bezibhambathiso ezindilekileyo zonqulo, ezilubabalo olukhethekileyo lokumiselwa kwangaphambili.

Kwiminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo ndandinawo lo mbono; kodwa zingaphi ezinye izihlandlo endingazange ndizive izikhalazo zikaJ.-C. kwimibandela eyahlukahlukeneyo ephathelele iCawa yakhe! kwaye nantsi phakathi kwezinye izinto awathi kum ngenye imini malunga nobume bezibhambathiso zemonki, ekhalaza kwangaphambili ngokucinezelwa okwenziwa kubo.

Namhlanje. Undenze ndabona ukuba ezi zibhambathiso zifana nokuphuma kobuThixo bakhe kanye; okanye, ukuba uthanda ngcono, ubabalo olukhethekileyo lokumiselwa kwangaphambili oluqukuqela ngoko nangoko kwiimfanelo zokufa kwakhe; kwaye le yindlela awandicacisela ngayo: ifuna ingqalelo ekhethekileyo,

Ukuphuphuma kobabalo, nothando olungenasiphelo uBawo awathi waludlulisela kum ngexesha lokwenziwa kwam inyama, wandixelela, wayikhukulisa intliziyo yam kwaye wayilawula intando yam, ngaphandle kokuyinyanzela. Ndanikela, ukususela ngaloo mzuzu, onke amandla am ekufezekiseni intando yakhe ephakamileyo kuko konke okunokuba nomdla kuzuko lwakhe nothando lwakhe; ndamenza a

ngokugqibeleleyo kunye nokuzinikela okupheleleyo kwam konke. Ukususela ngoko, ukuthanda kwam kukwafana nokukaBawo, kwangolu lubabalo lwandikhokelelayo ekukhetheni okukhululekileyo, ukuba ndive ubunzima ngazo zonke iintlobo zemisebenzi, ihlazo neentuthumbo, kwada kwafa emnqamlezweni. Ewe, ndandiyifuna ngokukhululekileyo nangotyekelo lothando lwam. Yiyo loo nto idini lobomi bam lalinjalo

rhoqo eyona nto ndiyinqwenela kakhulu. Ngoku, wongeza, yazi

ezo zibhambathiso ezindilisekileyo zenkolo, esithi ngazo isidalwa sizingcwalise ngokupheleleyo kuThixo, zisisenzo sombingelelo wam, kwaye kufuneka sikhululeke njengalo. Kukuthululwa kolu babalo lokuqala olunomthombo walo kuphela kwiimfaneleko zegazi lam: ubabalo olulodwa lokumiselwa kwangaphambili, endithe mna.

ndiphe kuphela kwabo ndithanda ukubapha. Ngaphandle kokwenza naluphi na uhlobo lobundlobongela kwinkululeko yokuzikhethela, oku

(276-280)

Ubabalo luzenza inkosikazi yalo, luthi ngobulali luyibambe intliziyo yabo nentando yabo; iyabahlukanisa nehlabathi ukubamanyanisa kum ngokungagungqiyo ngawona maqhina aqinileyo othando lobuthixo; Ndithetha izibhambathiso zokuvalelwa, zokuthobela ngonaphakade, kunye nokulahla ngonaphakade intando yabo, intlupheko, ubunyulu obungenamiqathango nobungenachaphaza, abangcwalisa

iintliziyo zabo, imizimba yabo kunye nemiphefumlo yabo, kwaye bazibambe ngakumbi

ngokuqhubekayo ebotshelelwe kumnqamlezo wam ngokufel' ukholo okuncomekayo ngakumbi, ukuba lide kwaye lithanda ngakumbi kwicala labo….

Ukucaphuka kukaJ.

Ngale nto, uBawo wam, uJ.-C. wabonakala evutha ngumsindo ongcwele, kwaye ethabatha ithoni edlamkileyo nezele nomdla: amaxhoba axabisekileyo othando lwam; bandichukumisile ukuya kutsho emazantsi entliziyo yam.... Abanelishwa benze ubundlobongela kubo nakwinkululeko yabo yokuzikhethela, endiyikhweleyo kakhulu, kwaye mna ndishiya bonke abantu ukuba basebenzise njengoko bekhetha nangokwenkululeko yabo. Wathi, Ndiya kuziphindezelela ngemini yomgwebo wam; Siya kulazi ukuba liliphi ilungelo abaza ngalo namhlanje ukuze bathabathe imbeko yasimahla yezidalwa zam. Ke bona baya kundiphendula ngenxa yabafazi abaziintanda; baya kuziva ngenxa yezandla zobulungisa bam, ukuba ndiyinkosi epheleleyo, ekufanele yonke into imnike yona, nokuba kungabikho bani ukhaliphayo ngokungohlwaywa;

Emva koko, Bawo, ndazibona isohlwayo esoyikekayo awayebagcinele sona, awayesele ekulungele ukusihlasela…

Isiganeko esibi kakhulu, ndaziphosa intliziyo nengqondo ezinyaweni zakhe, ndaza ndambongoza ngokufaneleka koMzolelo wakhe oNgcwele, ukuba angabagwebeli

ubutyebi kwaye bangaphulukani nabo ngonaphakade, kodwa endaweni yoko ukubanika ubabalo lwenguquko ukuze baphephe eli lishwa lokugqibela.

Ngenye imini xa intliziyo yam yayibuhlungu ngenxa yenani nobukhulu bamatyala enziwayo, ndeva uJ. ukucela impindezelo… Wawuyeka umbane wakhe wagqabhuka ndaza ndangcangcazela kukoyika ukuba ubatyumza abo banetyala.

UYesu Kristu ukhalazela ulwaphulo-mthetho lwaseFransi. Amashwa aya kulandela. Ubungqina obumangalisayo abunika uDade.

Ukugqibela kwam ukuba nemibono yolu hlobo yayiyiminyaka emibini okanye emithathu eyadlulayo, xa kwafika ingqungquthela yeNdlu yoWiso-mthetho, emva kwaleyo yabadumileyo, ukuze kubekho iingxaki zokuqala eFransi. Ngokungathandabuzekiyo uya kukhumbula, Bawo, ukuba amasekela ethu okuqala avalelwa eParis, nokuba ngexesha lokukhululwa kwawo kwakukho imivuyo kwiidolophu ezahlukahlukeneyo zaseBrittany; Ewe, kwakungexesha lamalungiselelo eFougères, ekubuyeni kweMarquis de la Rouarie, elinye lamasekela ethu, endathi ndeva ngokucacileyo ukuba uJ.-C., wayekwincopho yabo…. Ndade ndaqonda ukuba wayethetha ngoFougeres ngokukodwa. Iziyatha! wadanduluka, iimfama zizophinda zincame, sele zizinikele kuvuyo oluya kulandelwa ziinyembezi ezininzi! … Basikelela uvukelo-mbuso olusisohlwayo nje esibonakalayo; bancoma inkululeko xa bechukumisa ubukhoboka, kwaye baya kuthi bonwabile phakathi kwamashwa azakuphuphuma kubo.

Ubungqina ke, wongezelela ngelithi, yonke into iya kwenzeka njengoko ndinixeleleyo, kukuba namhlanje, ngelo lixa, kuya kutsha umlilo esixekweni; uza ku

ingqina ; kwaye umonakalo osisiphumo uya kuba ngumanduleli kuphela okanye umlinganiselo omncinane womlilo wendalo iphela oya kuthi kungekudala uphanzise iFransi… Yonke into yenzeka kwangaloo mini yayixelwe kwangaphambili kum. I-rocket ye-firework, eyasungulwa ngokungenangqiqo, yawela phezu kophahla, eGrande Rue, apho yatshisa khona .... (1). Ndandisegumbini lethu, ndizixakekise ngokuthandaza kuThixo, ngexesha elimisiweyo, xa ndeva ooDade bethu bedlula kwaye badlula kwakhona phambi komnyango izihlandlo ezininzi, kwaye bandilumkise, izihlandlo ezininzi, ukuba umlilo wawusesixekweni. ... Yeha! Ndandiyazi kakuhle, yaye ndandiyifunde kwangethuba ukuze ndibe noxolo lwengqondo; bekungento yanto kum ukuyibona ngamehlo enyama.

(1) Ndabona izihlandlo ezininzi lowo wayephehlelela iziqhushumbisi; wayengazi ukuba wayesizalisekisile isiprofeto kule nto njengoko wayenzile.

Kungekudala emva kwesi siganeko, ndeva kangangeentsuku ezintathu ilizwi elifanayo likhalaza ngamandla ngeqela elimiselwe ngokuchasene neCawa kunye nenkolo yobukumkani. UYesu Krestu wathetha izinto ezikhohlakeleyo ezichasene neli qela, awalibiza ngokuba likhohlakele, likhohlakele, linxanelw’ igazi nelikhohlakeleyo…. Wabatyhola ngokubacaphukela abantwana bakhe, waza wamkhohlisa uYise ukuba aphephe uqhwithela aze angabavumeli ukuba baphumeze amacebo abo obumnyama. Ah! abakhohlakeleyo, wathi, benze iyelenqe ngokuchasene neBandla lam, abalungiseleli bam nabo bonke abangabam! kukuqumba kwam; kodwa baya kujeziswa ngenxa yoko… baya kuliphalaza igazi labo; kodwa eli gazi liphalaziweyo liya  kuwa

abaliphalazayo, ngokuba ndiya kuphindezela ngalo... Liya kubagubungela ubunzima balo... Kodwa, Bawo, waqhubeka, ndicela ukuba

(281-285)

mhlawumbi, basindise esi sohlwayo sibi ngokubasindisa kulwaphulo-mthetho olumele lutsalele kubo!... Izikhalazo zaphela emva kweentsuku ezintathu, saza sakhawuleza sava ngokuthathwa kweBastille, ukuthinjwa okufihlakeleyo kweKumkani kunye nokubulawa kwabantu abaninzi. abalindi bakhe, iingozi awayebaleke ngazo umntu wakhe ongcwele kunye neqabane lakhe, ngelizwi, zonke iingxaki zaseParis, apho, ngethamsanqa nangoku, ubugebenga kunye nokuphazamiseka bekuye kwabakho.

ngaphantsi kobukhalipha babavukeli banika isizathu sokubamba...

Okokugqibela, Bawo, ndingakuxelela ngokubanzi ukuba akukho nasiphi na isiganeko esibangela umdla esenzekileyo eFransi, ngakumbi kwiCawa, ukuba andizange ndibe nesilumkiso esifanayo esivela ku-J. C. bona unobangela wokuqala onjalo

isiphithiphithi esiyintlekele eCaweni nakuRhulumente; Ndiya kuhlala ndizithethela, kodwa ndicinga ukuba kuya kuba kuhle ukulahla iinkcukacha kude kube ngomso, ukuba uyavuma. Eso sicelo samkelwa, yaye ngengomso uDade wathabatha umsonto wento awayeyibhengezile.

Umlilo eFaubourg Roger, uxelwe apha ngamaxesha athile. Indlu encinci igcinwe ngokumangalisayo kumadangatye.

Ndiyakholwa ukuba ndingakwazi, ukugqiba umhlathi, ndibeke apha ianecdote enokuninzi efana neyandulelayo, nangona injongo mhlawumbi yayahlukile; wenjenje udade ukuthetha kum ngenye imeko;

Uya kwazi, Bawo, ukuba awuyazi, wandixelela, ukuba umlilo waqhambuka kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo (ibimalunga neeveki ezimbini emva komlilo endisandula ukuthetha ngawo) kwezinye izindlu zaseFaubourg Roger. . Oonongendi, njengam, babengamangqina alo mbono udandathekisayo. Bekukho nabathi baqabela iqhina loluntu ukuze bajonge ngcono inkqubela yomlilo ovuthuza ngezaqhwithi. Ngokusebenzisa amadangatye sifumanisa, ngamanye amaxesha, indlu encinci emhlophe eyayibonakala isoyikeka ngakumbi njengoko amadangatye ayeqhutywa ngokuthe ngqo nangobundlobongela kwicala lomoya. Ndaziva ndiphefumlelwe ngokukhethekileyo

ukuthandaza kuThixo ukuba awugcine; kuba ndandicinga ukuba likhaya losapho oluthile oluhluphekayo. Ngoxa ndandithandaza, ilizwi endandikholelwa ukuba lelakaThixo lathi kum ngaphakathi: “Le ndlu undithandazelayo ayisayi kutshabalala, kuba ndiyawuhlonipha umthandazo owenziwa ngulo uhlala kuyo ngoku. kum.. Kungekudala emva koko, ilangatye latshintsha indlela, ngenxa yokuba umoya wawuvuthuza ukusuka kwelinye icala, kwaye indlu encinane yagcinwa; nto leyo yakhwankqisa wonke umntu kangangokuba yaba ngathi ngummangaliso.

Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa emva kweli bali likaSister, endalifumana ngaphezu koko lihambelana nelo labanye oonongendi kunye namarhe endinawo.

Ngaphambili, ndaya kwindlu encinane emhlophe ekuthethwa ngayo, eyayikufuphi nesango likaRoger, yaye ikufuphi namabhodlo ezindlu ezitshileyo. Yayiyeyonosilarha onyanisekileyo, owathi umfazi wayo waphumelela kwelinye lawona maKatolika abalaseleyo kuloo ndawo; olu sapho lwalusaziwa ngoko kuluntu endandingumlawuli walo.

Emva kweentetho ezimbalwa zokungakhathali, ndizise incoko kulo mbandela undizise apha, ndibabuza ukuba indlu yabo igcinwe njani na, babanga ukuba igcinwe njani. Singenza ntoni

Yaphendula lo mfazi, ukuba akunjalo kuncedo lweNtombi Enyulu esikelelekileyo nakumandla kaThixo? Ndilandele, waqhubeka, kwaye ndiya kukuxelela

ukuba kwenzeke njani konke… Umyeni uhlala ekhaya, siphuma siye egadini, yena, mna nentombi yakhe enkulu, egama linguMarie, eneminyaka elishumi elinesibhozo ukuya kwamashumi amabini, esandula ukutshata.

Uyabona, mhlekazi, lo mifuno uthe kum; kakuhle! saguqa kwindawo enye, intombi yam uMarion apha, kwaye mna, ngexesha

ukuba umlilo ubunwenwela endlwini yethu. UMarion uya kukuxelela ukuba ndixokile. Sobabini besijonge kwicala lecawe yase St. Sulpice apho ikhoyo,

njengoko uyazi, umfanekiso ongcwele weNotre-Dame des Marais. Lo mthandazo ndawuthandaza ngokuvakalayo eNkosini elungileyo, noMarion wawenza kunye nam. Ndathi: “Thixo wam, uyazi wena ukuba andimonanga mntu, yaye andikunqweneli ukuba nempahla yomnye umntu ngedenariyo: Ndinale ndlu incinane kuphela emhlabeni; ukuba uyawuyeka utshise, nantsi iNtsapho yam encinci ehluphekayo ngaphandle kwendawo yokuhlala kwaye incitshiswe kwintlupheko yokugqibela; ngoko abantwana bam abahluphekileyo baya kuhamba

funa isonka sabo, ndibe nabo mna. Thixo wam, yiba nenceba kubo kunye nam, usindise ubomi bethu, ngokusindisa indlu yethu encinci, kuba ndiyilindele kuwe kuphela: Ndiyakucela ngokubongoza kukaMama wakho ongcwele,

emva kwakho, ndibeke konke ukuzithemba kwam. Ukuba uthe wandinika olu lubabalo, Ndiya kuba ubuncinane enye mass wathi kwaye ikhandlela livutha imbeko yakhe, phambi komfanekiso ongcwele S. Sulpice. »

(286-290)

Ndandidlamke kakhulu lukholo, ndithetha ngolu hlobo; sawuphindaphinda loo mthandazo izihlandlo ezithathu, yaye ngalo lonke ixesha ndandithumela intombi yam ukuba iye kubona ukuba ilangatye alitshintshi na, yaye saqalisa kwakhona ngaphandle kokuphelelwa lithemba.

Ekugqibeleni, okwesithathu, wandixelela ukuba umoya utshintshile, yaye amadangatye aye kwelinye icala; nto leyo eyabonwa ngumntu wonke ekhwankqisiwe, yaza indlu yethu yasindiswa (1).

(1) Kanye ngelo xesha kanye awathi uDade wayesandul’ ukuva eli lizwi limxelela le nto siyibone ngasentla.

§. IV.

Oonobangela abaphambili bokutshatyalaliswa kwemiyalelo yonqulo. Ukuncamathela kwihlabathi nakwisiqu sakho. Ukwaphulwa kwezibhambathiso zakhe.

Okokuqala, kuluntu lwezenkolo, izihlandlo ezininzi ndibe nemibono kwanamaphupha athe uThixo wandibonisa ngawo umthombo wokonakala kwawo; Nazi ezinye zezona zibalaseleyo: Ndibonile, kodwa izihlandlo ezininzi, amahobe namahobe enyuka kwaye ebhabha ngokuthe ngqo esibhakabhakeni, kwiindawo eziphakamileyo ezahlukeneyo: into eyandothusayo kukubona ukuba la mahobe kunye namahobe phantse onke arhuqelwa ngasemva ukuya elwandle. umhlaba ngeminatha ethile eyayizibambe zibotshelelwe, nekuthi ngazo isandla esingabonakaliyo sabenza bawela emva phaya njengasendlwaneni okanye kumgibe owawubalindile apho…. Kangangexesha elide lo mbono waba nam

ndineentloni, kungekho mlawuli uthethe into eyanelisayo kum ngale ngongoma. Ekugqibeleni, emva kokuba ndithandaze kakhulu, nantsi ingcaciso awandinika yona uJ. La majuba kunye nala mahobe, wandixelela, ngabantu benkolo bezo zombini izini: ewe, yimiphefumlo yenkolo ethi, ngokuchasene nokuzibophelela kwayo, ihlale inamathele kwisidalwa kunye nentando yabo, kwaye isengamakhoboka kwiminqweno yabo. , ezithi, njengeminatha emininzi, zisoloko zibatsalela emhlabeni, zize zibathintele ekusabeleni ezulwini, ngokwendawo abasingise kuyo. Ngoko ke, ukungakhathali kwemisebenzi yabo, ukunxaxha kwezibhambathiso zabo, ukuzimanya nehlabathi kunye nabo ngokwabo, oku kungunobangela wokucinezelwa kwabo kwixesha elizayo….

Ndikhumbula ngobunye ubusuku (oku kunokuchaphazela ucwangco lwethu ngokukodwa), ndaphupha, ndithi, ukuva ilizwi lomshumayeli omkhulu. Ndasondela; yayingubawo wethu uFrancis oNgcwele owashumayela iimonki noonongendi bomyalelo wakhe; wabangcikiva ngamandla ngenxa yobugwenxa babo, ubugwenxa babo, nokungakhathali kwabo. Wakhalazela ukuba ulawulo lwakhe lwalungaqondwa kakuhle lwaza lwalityalwa, waza wababhengeza awona mashwangusha makhulu, esohlwaya ngenxa yokuyekelela kwabo; wayebonakala esoyika ukutshatyalaliswa kwabo.

Ngenye imini ndakhe ndaphupha ephupheni ukuzinikela kokumambatha ingubo yakhe; Ndithe ndisamfuna ezindaweni zonke, wabonakala kum, wathi, Ntombi yam, siguge ingubo yam;

yi, ndikholelwe, yeyona dyasi iqinisekileyo yokukhusela kwisaqhwithi esiza.

Kwiminyaka embalwa kamva, ndabona isidiliya sinikelwe ukuba sithingwe, kwaye kusenkangala ngokuziphanzisa kwamasela ephuma macala onke kuso. amasebe awo, ehlulwe kwizibonda zawo, ayewile emhlabeni, okanye ubuncinane ayembalwa kakhulu aseleyo awayebonakala ekwimeko entle. La manani ahlukeneyo, njengoko ndiye ndafunda, amele zombini iziphazamiso kunye nezohlwayo zamadoda nabafazi bezenkolo abathi baphambuka ngenxa yokunxaxha kwezibhambathiso zabo kunye nemithetho yabo, kunye nomthetho.

ukuhluthwa kwengqondo kwimeko yabo.

Ngobunye ubusuku, ndaba nelinye iphupha lesiprofeto, elathi, ngokwengcaciso awandinika yona uThixo ngalo, lalingumfuziselo wokwenene womlo.

eyoyikeka gqitha into yokuba uvukelo-mbuso lufanele lunikelwe eFransi kuRhulumente, ngokukodwa elunqulweni nakwimiyalelo yonqulo. Ndabona entabeni umthi omhle, omkhulu nowomeleleyo; yayingqukuva ngokulinganayo ngomda wamasebe awo kwaye

Ulungelelwaniso oluhle lwamahlamvu awo aluhlaza; iintyatyambo zayo kunye neziqhamo zayo zivezwe ngaxeshanye elona vumba limnandi, kakhulu

enomtsalane. Iimitha ezimbalwa ukusuka kulo mthi mhle ndabona omnye ongaqinanga kangako, kodwa obonakala ungowohlobo olufanayo ngeziqhamo owawuthwelwe ngazo kunye neentyatyambo owawugqunywe ngazo; ibingajikelezwanga kakuhle okanye icwangciswe kakuhle njengeyokuqala, kwaye ndiye ndaqaphela ukuba umphezulu wayo uphele ngamanqaku amabini okanye iicrests.

Ndithe ndisabuka le mithi mibini mihle, kwathi gqi umthi wesithathu unyuka uye ngqo esithubeni esiphakathi kwawo, usuka.

indlela eyayimganyana ngokulinganayo komnye nomnye: yona yayingenantyatyambo naziqhamo, kodwa imbonakalo ethile yayiquka amagqabi awo amahle awayenohlobo oluthile lokufana nalawo emithi emibini yokuqala. intloko, phezulu kakhulu

kubo, ke waqalisa ukubabetha ngokutshintshanayo, ngentshukumo ukuya ngasekunene

(291-295)

kwaye ngasekhohlo, kangangokuba ndandisoyika kakhulu; Ndaqaphela, nangona kunjalo, ukuba yayishwabene kakhulu, kwaye ibonakala ivuza, amasebe omthi wokuqala, ahlala exhathisa ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa nayiphi na intyatyambo yawo okanye iziqhamo zawo;

kodwa wawaphula onke amasebe omnye umthi, kwaza kwasala isiqu neengcambu kuphela, kwanzima ukwahlula iincopho zawo ezimbini.

Emva kolu tyando lumbi, ndeva ilizwi lidanduluka lisithi: Ligawule irhamncwa engcanjini, ukuze litshatyalaliswe, yaye lowo unyamekela ukuyigcina imithi emibini yokuqala. Akuphelanga maxesha athethwa la mazwi ndeva umthi oqalekisiweyo ubetha, ndawubona usiwa uqengqeleka ngokuntlitheka ezantsi kwentaba. Apha, ndixelelwa ngokulandelayo, yile nto usandul’ ukuyibona: umthi wokuqala uphawula iBandla likaJ.

umthi onomphezulu ophindwe kabini, imeko yonqulo yezini ezibini, eyakhiwe esifubeni sayo; zingabohlobo olunye, kungoko zithwala iziqhamo ezifanayo. Lo mthi ungenasiqhamo nowoyikekayo ukhule phakathi kwezi zibini, waze wazodlula ngokuphakama kwawo, liqhayiya lentanda-bulumko yanamhlanje, eya kuthi kungekudala yenze iinzame zokugqibela eFransi zokutshabalalisa nokubhangisa iBandla kunye nombuso wonqulo.

Ngewawuthe indle yaveliswa kwingcambu yomthi wokuqala, kwaye intanda-bulumko yanamhlanje iya kuthabatha imbonakalo yentlonipho kumhlambi.

inkolo kunye neCawe; ade afune ukweyisela ukuba kuphela amkhusele aze ambuyisele kwimfezeko yakhe yamandulo: iziphumo ziya kubonisa oko besifanele sikukholelwe kuye, ngokutyhila yonke intiyo anayo ngabo, kunye nevangeli. izidima abenza ubuKristu; uya kuqala ngokuthelekisa izimilo ezisulungekileyo zobuntu nezokuziphatha aya kuthi azenze imbonakalo enkulu yazo naphezu kokunganeli kwabo usindiso: kudala wabonisa ukuqaqamba kwabo kobuxoki ukuze basikhohlise, kwangaxeshanye.

ixesha angathanda ukutshintsha isizathu sokholo. Kungenxa yoko le nto  i

Izilwanyana zasendle zazinamagqabi amahle, kwaye zinaloo nto kuphela. Ukonakala kwale filosofi yoyikekayo kufuneka kube nexesha layo, inkolo kunye neCawe ziyakusinda kwesi saqhwithi. Ingcambu nesiqu somthi wesibini,  esaseleyo, kwanezibonda ezimbalwa ezasindayo ekuphangweni komdiliya, zibonisa ukuba akukho themba kurhulumente wonqulo, oya kuthi ngenye imini afumane ubuncwane nxamnye nabacinezeli bawo. uzalwe ngokutsha eluthuthwini lwayo  kwaye

izakuvela kwakhona emva kokwaphukelwa yinqanawa…. Sibonile, ngaphezu koko, unobangela wokuqala wokuhlaziswa kweCawe kumahlazo kunye nobomi obungenasiphithiphithi babefundisi ababi. Kuninzi kakhulu kubefundisi behlabathi nabaqhelekileyo, kunye noonongendi; ngoku siza kuthathela ingqalelo kwizidubedube zamarhamente isizathu sokugqibela esinyanzela uThixo ukuba asohlwaye, kwaye ngenxa yoko unobangela wobubi beCawa kunye nezidubedube kuRhulumente… Masibuyele, Bawo, le nxalenye kwibandla iseshoni yokuqala; kuyakuthi, ukuba uyathanda, ngomso, malunga nentsimbi yeshumi kusasa, okanye malunga nentsimbi yesine ngokuhlwa.

§. v.

Abanye oonobangela bentshutshiso yonqulo nokudodobala koRhulumente kuhlobo lowexuko lwabantwana beCawa; umoya wokholo ucime phakathi kwabo, aze uThixo awuvuselele ezintliziyweni zeentlanga ezingathembekanga.

“Egameni loYise, loNyana neloMoya oyiNgcwele, ngoYesu noMariya, ndiyathobela. »

Kulapha, Bawo, enye yeemeko zobomi bam apho ndinokuthi ndiqiniseke ngakumbi, ukuba ndinokuba nalo naluphi na olu hlobo, ukuba u-J.-C. wabonakala kum ngokubonakalayo, ubuncinane ndacinga ukuba ndimbonile. ngokwamehlo enyama, ndisekolu loyiseko. kum yayibonakala yenziwe kakuhle kakhulu kwaye ibukhulu benzuzo; isidima sakhe esizukileyo nesidima esiphefumlelweyo, esibonakalisa isidima nentlonipho; into yobuThixo yabengezela kuyo yonke ingaphandle yakhe kwaye yabengezela ngaphezu kwayo yonke into ebusweni bakhe, ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba lokuba ndimbone kwaye ephendule kuyo yonke into awayeyithetha kum, andizange ndibe nobuganga bokumjonga ebusweni ukuze ndibone iimpawu zakhe. Kodwa masithi, ukuba uyathanda, ukuba konke oku kwenzeke ekukhanyeni kwangaphakathi, nangona kunjalo kwenzekile,

UYesu Kristu, ezigqume ngengubo yokwaleka, wayedla ngokuhamba phambi kwam; apho, yandenza ndabona amadoda amabini emi yaye engashukumi, ohlulwe omnye komnye ngokugibisela ilitye elihle; sizibeka embindini wesi sithuba; wayengumKristu yaye engumnquli-zithixo: UJ.-C. wathi kum, esalatha kumKristu obekwe ngasekunene kwethu, kwicala elingasempuma: uzicime izibane zokholo ngaphakathi kuye, akasandizi, uyihlazekile imfundiso yam kwaye akasandiboni.

(296-300)

zama kuphela ukubaleka kum…” Kwaye ngenene, ndaqaphela ukuba umqolo wakhe ujikele ngakuJ.

Ngequbuliso, ngokukhanya okungcwele, u-J.-C. wandenza ndangena ngaphakathi kweyokuqala, kwaye ndabona apho isazela solwaphulo-mthetho, ekuphela kwenkumbulo yaso esandenza ndingcangcazele…… Ezulwini! yayibubugxwayiba obumanyumnyezi bolwaphulo-mthetho olucekisekayo!.. Ukukhanya okuthile okwadlula kwesi siphithiphithi

kumnyama, kwandenza ndabona zonke izinto ezoyikekayo. Ewe, Bawo, ngalo mtha ndabona izilo ezoyikekayo, izilo ezahlukahlukeneyo, ubukhulu nokumila kwazo, ezithi, zisoloko zishukuma, zibonakala zingqubana, zijijisana yaye zilwa zodwa, ziqengqeleka, zidlula yaye ziphinda zidlula ngokuqhubekayo. enye; emzabalazweni wabo, xa babonakala behlukana kwaye bahlukane kancinane ngokuwa emacaleni  kwaye

kwelinye icala, bandivumela ukuba ndibone inkitha, inkitha yezinye izilo ezincinci, imifanekiso eyoyikisayo ngakumbi, eyathi, njengembovane, yabonakala ngathi izalwe ngokutsha kwaye izivelise kwakhona; baphuma bengcwatywe kwiimbombo ezithile apho babefihlwe khona phantsi kowona mde; lombono, Bawo, wandizalisa ngokoyikeka okukhulu kangangokuba ndandisele ndiza kufa; Ndabona ngeenxa zonke kum kuphela ithunzi lokufa, umfanekiso wesihogo kunye neshwa lokugqibela; kuba ukwazi oku kukuphela kwendlela eya kwiphakade elingonwabanga.

Ukusuka apho, u-J.

babethelela ingcamango ethile yobukho bam kunye nomtsalane othile wokundazi nokundinqula. oothixo ngokweminqweno yabo, oothixo abavumelana neengcamango zabo ezirhabaxa, nabavumelana neminqweno abafuna ukuyanelisa........ Wathi kum: Uza kubona kwaye uncome amandla obabalo lwam phezu komphefumlo womntu ongakholwayo endifuna ukunxibelelana naye ukukhanya kokholo lwam. »

Kwangaxeshanye ndabona imitha yoBungcwele, eyathi, yangathi lilangatye, yangena nangaphakathi kulomntu ongakholwayo ovuyayo, yandenza ndayibona yonke into eyayidlula apho ngokucacileyo njengoko yayibonakala kum ngelo xesha. .-

ngaphandle: okokuqala, lo mnquli-zithixo owayebonakala ecaleni kuphela ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, wajika ngokuthanda kwakhe waza wazibeka ngqo phambi koJ.-C.

ukumangaliswa kokumangaliswa: emva koko, xa ndiqwalasela emazantsi omphefumlo wakhe, ndabona ukuba olu phawu luye lwamenza wamazi uThixo oyinyaniso, umdali wezulu nomhlaba, usongami womlamli wobomi nokufa……. Ah! wakhala ngaphakathi kuye, yaye ngenxa yesijwili sangaphakathi, bendiqhathiwe, nanku uThixo oyinyaniso! nantsi into enqwenelwa yintliziyo yam, efunwa yingqondo yam, ubume bayo

yonke into yazisa kum ubukho……. ibinkenteza entliziyweni yam, bendiyiva nangona ndingekayivumi. Obunjani bona ubumfama! indlela angenamandla ngayo umntu ngaphandle koncedo lombhali wakhe, ekubeni engenakububamba ngokwakhe ubungqina obuzivezayo aze bubungqonge ngeempawu zabo ezimangalisayo! Ekugqibeleni, ndayifumana; kodwa ndiphile njani ixesha elingaka ndingenalo ulonwabo lokumazi nokumthanda? Ewe, nanko engumbhali wam nomlawuli wam, lowo ndivakalelwa kukuba ndenzelwe nguye nendivakalelwa kukuba ndenzelwe nguye! Ukusukela ngalo mzuzu, ndibalahla ngonaphakade oothixo bobuxoki, abo ukusukela ngoku ngoku ukuya phambili andisafuni ukunikela ngezithixo zam okanye iziqhumiso zam. Ngala mazwi, engaxengaxengi, uqubuda aze aqubude ngentliziyo, ngengqondo, nangomzimba, ubungangamsha obuphakamileyo boThixo oyinyaniso, imbeko yokuqala enikelwa kubuthixo bobuntu bakhe.

Kolu lubabalo luzekelisayo nolulungiselelayo, uThixo wayefuna ukongeza enye into exabiseke ngakumbi, neyathi noko kunjalo, ngandlel’ ithile, yayilulwando kuphela nokongeza kulo; Ndithetha ukuthi, umnqweno wezinto ezintathu ezintle zezakwalizwi ezeza kuzipeyinta emphefumlweni wakhe ngolwazi kunye nokholo lwabantu abathathu bakaBathathu Emnye oNgcwele, imfihlelo yoKuzalwa, yeCawa enye yokwenyaniso, kunye nobhaptizo oluye lwabhaptizwa. isinika ukungena kuyo ngokusivelisa ngokutsha ku-J.-C. Ubabalo oluxabiseke ngakumbi, ukuba ubani unokutsho njalo, kukuba lo mguquki owonwabileyo uqalisa ukuthanda ngalo lonke ulonwabo lwakhe lokwazi: njengoko ekholelwa kuye, sele enethemba. ukumbona ngenye imini kunaphakade onoyolo: ekugqibeleni, ufikelela kuye ngamandla akhe onke, ude abe nomnqweno onganelisekiyo wokuphumeza oku ngobhaptizo olungcwele olulumnyango.

Kungelo xesha awathi wakhumbula kabuhlungu izigculelo nezithuko awayecinga ukuba wazenza izihlandlo ezininzi ngokuchasene neenyaniso ngoku aziva exhathise ngokupheleleyo. Ulwazi lokuqala lwenkolo yoThixo oyinyaniso, wayeluthabathele ukuba ludelele nje ngaphambili: nangona kunjalo, uvakalelwa kukuba olu lwazi lokuqala lwaluyimbewu yokholo, ukulunga kobuthixo, njengokuba ngaphandle kolwazi lwakhe, okufihlwe kulo.

(301-305)

Intliziyo yakhe ukuba awenze apho ngenye imini intshule kwaye ivelise isiqhamo; wayelapho, engakhange aziqaphele yena, elindele umzuzu wolonwabo: waziveza, okanye mhlawumbi uProvidence wamsindisa, kwaye ubabalo wathabatha ithuba kuzo zombini.

ithuba elilungileyo kunye nomnqweno walo mntu wokoyisa konke okumiyo endleleni yosindiso lwakhe; yiyo yonke into endayibonayo entliziyweni yakhe.

"Kunjalo," J.-C. - ade adlule esuka kwesinye isizwe aye kwesinye ... UmKristu uya kuba ngonaphakade inkangeleko umnquli wezithixo uya kuvuya ngonaphakade, kuba ngobhaptizo lomnqweno analo, ngokuxutywa, ukholo kunye nazo zonke  iimpawu

kubalulekile kusindiso lomKristu, nokuba umanyene neBandla lam nangona ephakathi kwabangakholwayo, ngelixa elinye lingenazo iimpawu zalo ezintle, kodwa zonke izenzo ezibi zabanquli-zithixo; uya kulahleka njengabo, nesimilo sakhe asiyi kukhonza kodwa kukungcikivwa nokugwetywa kwakhe. »

Esi sisimo esingathandekiyo apho iFransi izifumene iminyaka emininzi kangaka, kwaye le meko ilishwa yeyona nto iphambili, okanye

elona shwangusha lingenambaliso, lesiphithiphithi ngokubanzi kunye namashwa angenakubalwa esiza kuwafumana kungekudala. Olu gqabhuko-dubulo lubulalayo noluyishwangusha lwelizwe lethu, kudala-dala, Bawo, lwalusamelwe kum ngendlela endiza kuthi kuwe luphelise olu dliwano-ndlebe:

Ndandisemoyeni encotsheni yentaba entle, apho ndandinandipha umoya ococekileyo kunye nokukroba kweyona ndawo inomtsalane. Kule ntaba intle kwakukho indlu eyakhiwe rhoqo kwaye ye

imbonakalo entle kakhulu; into eyandothusayo kukubona zonke iindlela zokungena zikhululekile, kwaye zonke iindlela zokungena zivuleleke macala onke kubantu endingabaziyo ababethontelana apho ngezihlwele ngomoya othe saa kakhulu.

Ndithe ndisajonge yonke into ngamehlo ajonge kakhulu, ndabona ukuba umoya wenziwa mnyama ngequbuliso ngumphunga ophuma emhlabeni, kwaye

eyathi, yakufika kummandla ophakathi, yenza ilifu elimnyama elingqindilili, elathi ngokungaqondakaliyo latyhalelwa ngasentabeni ngumoya ovuthayo, owaqala kwicala elithile elundini. Lo mphunga okhohlakeleyo, owaba ukucaca kwe

imini, yavakalisa isaqhwithi esoyikekayo, kunye nesaqhwithi esasiphazamisayo. Ndarhanela intlekele; kodwa ndabona, phantsi kwelifu, into enengqondo, okomzuzwana yandenza ukuba ndithembele ngoncedo oluvela phezulu. Yayiluhlobo oluthile lwecrescent, umbala obomvu, owawuhamba macala onke kunye nentshukumo ekhawuleza kakhulu. Ndandingazi ukuba ndifanele ndithembe okanye ndoyike kulo mbonakaliso ndingawuqondiyo: okukhona esiya ehambela phambili, kokukhona ndibona ukuxhalaba kwakhe kusanda, kwaye kokukhona ndiziva ngathi ixhala lam liya lisanda.

Ekugqibeleni, xa ifikile entabeni, iyazisusa efini, ize, ngokungathi kunjalo, ize iwe ezinyaweni zam. Owu Thixo, Bawo, olunjani ukoyikeka! yayiligongqongqo eloyikekayo, elimzimba walo uzele ngamaxolo

imibala eyahlukeneyo, ibonise inkangeleko eyoyikisayo; wayenomlilo phakathi

amehlo kunye noburhalarhume entliziyweni yakhe, ngokuzingca waphakamisa intloko yakhe nomsila wakhe; yaye  ixhobe ngeenzipho zayo noluhlu oluphindwe kabini lwamazinyo amade abulalayo, yayisongela ngokuyikrazula yonke into. Kwangoko wagxanya ukuya ngakuloo  nzwakazi

indlu, ukanti ethatha indlela ethile, ngokungathi uyandiphepha, nangona wayebonakala enomdla kakhulu kum…. Ndiyangcangcazela ngulo mbono,  kwaye

umnqweno wokuqala yayikukukhwaza ngamandla am onke ndivala iingcango kwaye ndilumkele ubushushu benamba…. Bandiphulaphula ngomoya okhwankqisayo, ophololozayo, bandithi ndingumfazi ophambeneyo, nomboniseli, nogqithiselayo.

Akukho mntu wazihluphayo ngokuthabatha ithuba lecebiso lam, yaye yonke inzondelelo yam yayihlawulelwa zizigqebelo nezithuko kuphela.

Ngelo xesha igongqongqo lahambela phambili, yaye sele libenze amaxhoba ngobushushu balo. Besesiqala ukuvula amehlo sicela uncedo, wathi  uThixo mandihlasele irhamncwa, ndilithintele lingenzi nto. Kodwa ikhangeleka njani, ndathi, intombazana ehlwempuzekileyo njengam, engenazixhobo kwaye ingenawo amandla, engenaso nesibindi sokucinga ngayo, inokuze iyoyise  ?

? Nokuba ndandizithethelela kangakanani na, kwakufuneka ndithobele umyalelo owawufuna umbingelelo wobomi bam ukuze kusindiswe bonke abantu. Ndenjenjalo, ngaphandle kokucingisisa. Ngoko ndaleqa inamba, ukuze ndiyimise kwaye ndilwe nayo… Owu nkwenkwezi! kancinci

Ukuba bendikhe ndamhlasela, ebengenakumelana nam; ingonyama ibisesandleni sikaSamson. Ngelo xesha ndamkrazula, ngaphandle kwayo yonke imizamo yakhe… Ndamkrazula, ngesithuthi esibuhlungu, amalungu akhe abethayo; kwaye ababukeli bayiqonda ingozi endandibahlangule kuyo.

(306-310)

Sekulixesha elide Bawo phambi kokuba ndiwucaciselwe lombono. Ekugqibeleni, uJ.-C. usandul’ ukundinika intsingiselo yako, ngakumbi okanye ngaphantsi kula mabinzana: Khumbula, ntombi yam, umbono owawunawo kwiimeko ezinjalo zobutsha bakho. Ndawukhumbula, njengoko bendisandula ukunixelela; Nantsi into awandixelela yona:

Intaba owawukuyo ngoko yayimela ubukumkani baseFransi; iingcango zayo kunye neendlela zayo zazivulekele bonke abantu basemzini, kuba ixesha elide ukuchithwa kunye nomdla wokwazi umFrentshi, ngakumbi uthando lwenkululeko, olufana nendalo kuye, lwamenza wachatshazelwa kakhulu kwizinto ezintsha malunga nomcimbi. inkolelo., kwaye iyakwazi ukunikela kwezona nkqubo zigqwesileyo. Akukho nto ingenakwamkelwa ngezimo ezinjalo.

Loo miphunga irhabaxa ethe yavela emhlabeni yaza yasithelisa ukukhanya kwelanga, le yimigaqo yokungabi nankolo noburhelem obuthe, obuveliswe ngokuyinxenye buvela eFransi, kwaye ngokuyinxenye busuka kumazwe angaphandle, bufikelele ekubhidaniseni yonke imigaqo, ukusasaza ubumnyama kuyo yonke indawo nokuze bube nobumnyama. yisitha netotshi yokholo, njengeso sizathu ... Uqhwithela luye lwatyhalela ngakwiFransi, ekumele ukuba ibe yindawo yokuqala yeqonga yokutshatyalaliswa kwayo.

emva kokuba kugxilwe kuyo… Into ethe yavela phantsi kwelifu imele inguqu okanye umgaqo-siseko omtsha olungiselelwa iFransi; wena

yabonakala ngathi ivela esibhakabhakeni, nangona yayibunjwe kuphela ngumphunga womhlaba; wawuyazi kakuhle kuphela ngokuyibona, ukusuka kwimo yayo nakwiiprojekthi zayo ezimbi; ngokunjalo, umgaqo-siseko omtsha uya kubonakala kwabaninzi wahluke ngokupheleleyo kwinto oyiyo; iya kusikelelwa njengesipho esivela ezulwini nangona sisipho esivela esihogweni esivunyelwa lizulu ngomsindo walo wobulungisa: kuya kuba kuphela ngemiphumo yaso esiya kuthi sinyanzeleke ukuba siqonde inamba eyayifuna ukutshabalalisa yonke into kwaye iqwenge yonke into ... .. Ekugqibeleni, ngokomyalelo wam nangoncedo lwam niye niyoyisa. Apha, ntombi yam, ubumele iBandla lam elihlangeneyo ekufuneka ngenye imini libethe litshabalalise umgaqo okhohlakeleyo wesi  saphuli-mthetho .

umgaqo-siseko. Oku kukwathetha umsebenzi omncinci endiya kukubonelela ngawo ngeengcinga, ekufuneka zilwe neenzame zenamba kakhulu kwaye ziyibangele ukuba ingakholiseki kakhulu, kangangokuba iya kufa ngenxa yobubi, ukuba unokuze anikezele kumsindo wakhe ongapheliyo.

Bawo, ngamashwa lawo mabi kakhulu; kodwa mandingawafihli kuni amathemba uThixo andinika wona okusekwa kwakhona kwenkolo nokubuyiselwa kwamandla kaBawo wethu Oyingcwele uPopu. Enjani yona intuthuzelo kuwe nakum! olunjani lona uvuyo kubo bonke abathembekileyo bokwenyaniso! Ndibona ebungcweleni igunya elikhulu elikhokelwa nguMoya oyiNgcwele, eliya kuthi, ngesiphithiphithi sesibini, libuyisele ucwangco olulungileyo...ndibona kuThixo intlaninge yendibano yabefundisi beBandla, abathi, njengomkhosi oxhobileyo, idabi, kwaye njengentsika eqinileyo nengashukumiyo, liya kuwaxhasa amalungelo eBandla nentloko yalo, libuyisele uqeqesho lwalo lwakudala; ngokukodwa, ndibona abalungiseleli ababini beNkosi abaya kuma kulo mlo uzukileyo ngamandla kaMoya oyiNgcwele, oya kuvutha ngenzondelelo.

zivutha zonke iintliziyo zale ndibano izukileyo.

Lonke unqulo lobuxoki luya kubhangiswa, ndithetha ukuthi, zonke izinto ezisetyenziswa kakubi kwimvukelo ziya kutshatyalaliswa, nezibingelelo zoThixo oyinyaniso zibuyiselwe. Amasiko amadala aya kubuyiselwa; kwaye inkolo, ngandlela ithile, iya kuchuma ngakumbi kunangaphambili… Kodwa, yeha! Nkosi, nini

liya kufika eli xesha lokonwaba... kwaye liya kuhlala ixesha elingakanani? Ngokungathandabuzekiyo yimfihlelo oyigcinele wena; Ndibona apha kuphela ukuba ekusondeleni kokufika kokugqibela kukaJ. kodwa kwezinye iimeko umkhusane ongqindilili uyandifihla kunye nobude bexesha, kunye ne-epoch yayo

ukuhlangulwa… Intando kaThixo iyandikhaba ukuba ndiqhubele phambili… Masiyiyeke le nto okwangoku, Bawo wam, kuba ndiyoyika ukukudinisa, okanye ndisebenzise kakubi ububele bakho…. Ngomso, ukuba uyifumana ilungile, siza kuthetha ngenqaku elibaluleke kakhulu kuzo zonke iintlanga zomhlaba.

ICANDELO IV.

AMAXESHA Okugqibela EHLABATHI.

Emva kokuba ndibeke ngolungelelwano amanqaku aphambili achukumisa umlo kunye nenguquko yeCawa yaseFransi, kum kubonakala ngathi

beka apha into awathi uThixo wayenza yabonwa nguDade, malunga neentshutshiso zeBandla lehlabathi liphela kude kube yinguquko yokugqibela, eya kuba sisidima

imbali yehlabathi. Kwam kwabonakala ngathi olu yayikwalulo lungelelwano awayezimisele ukululandela, nangona amanqaku engazange anikwe onke ngendlela efanayo. Ngaphezu koko, kufana nokulandelelana kwendalo kunye

ulandelelwano lweenyaniso ezivelayo ukuba zixoxwe, okanye kunoko mazinikezelwe ngokweengcamango zakhe, apho siya kuhlala sizama ukungaphambuki.

§. I.

Intshayelelo kunye nezaziso zokufika kokugqibela kukaJ.-C.

“NgoYesu noMariya, nangegama loyena Bathathu Emnye Ungcwele, ndiyathobela. Emva koko wathi kum:

Bawo, namhlanje siza kuqala ngento embi kakhulu; iya kuba sisibhengezo soMgwebo wokuGqibela,  esimele silandele iimeko zawo ezoyikekayo. Ndiyavuma ukuba lo msebenzi ubuhlungu kum ngakwinkalo enye; ekugqibeleni, makhe  siqalise.

INkosi yethu imazisa ukuba ihlabathi liza kuphela  .

Ndizifumene ngaphezu kwesinye, ubuncinci emoyeni, kobu bukhulu

iphulo esele ndinixelele ngalo. Ngenye imini xa ndandilapho ndedwa, yaye ndikunye noThixo yedwa, uJ. "Ubuso behlabathi buyadlula, kwaye imini yokuza kwam yokugqibela iyasondela. Lakutshona ilanga, wathi, Iyahamba imini, bufike ubusuku… Zonke iinkulungwane ziyimini phambi kwam; gweba ngoko ixesha ekumele ukuba libe nalo ihlabathi, ngesithuba esisele elangeni

Khangela. Ndacingisisa nzulu, ndaza ndagqiba kwelokuba kwakusele malunga neeyure ezimbini kuphela ukuphakama elangeni. Kwakhona ndaphawula ukuba isangqa asichazayo sasibambe indawo esembindini phakathi kweentsuku ezinde nezimfutshane zonyaka.

Ndibona ukuba uJ.-C. engabonakali kum echasene nomnqweno ngokungathandabuzekiyo wandinika wona, wokumbuza imibuzo malunga neemeko ezithile zalo mbono uhlab’ umxhelo, ndazama ukumbuza ukuba imini awathetha ngayo nam. nithabathele ezinzulwini zobusuku, nithabathele ezinzulwini zobusuku, niqale ngongcwalazi, nitsho ngongcwalazi, nithabathele ekuphumeni kwelanga kuse ekutshoneni kwalo. Waphendula ke wathi, Mntwana wam, umsebénzi usebenza kuphela ngelixa ilanga liselubhakabhakeni; ngokuba ubusuku buphelisa wonke umsebenzi. Yeha, kulowo usebenzayo ngaphakathi

ubumnyama, nalowo ungamncedayo yena ukukhanya kwelanga lobulungisa eliphume ngenxa yakhe. Kungoko ke, ntombi yam, ukusuka ekuphumeni kwelanga kuse empumalanga

ukutshona kwelanga, ukuba kufuneka ulinganise ubude  bemini  ... Ungalibali,  wongezwa

yena, ukuba singabi sathetha ngewaka leminyaka ehlabathini; nguye kuphela

iinkulungwane ezimbalwa kwinani elincinci, ubude bexesha. Kodwa ndabona kumyolelo wakhe ukuba ulwazi oluchanekileyo lweli nani ulugcinele kuye ngokwakhe, kwaye andizange ndihendeke ukuba ndimbuze ngakumbi ngale nto, ndanelisekile kukwazi ukuba uxolo lweCawa kunye nokubuyiselwa koqeqesho lwakhe lwaluza kuthabatha. ixesha elide kakhulu.

Iintlekele zazo zonke iintlobo eziya kwandulela ulawulo loMchasi-Kristu.

Ngaphandle kokungenelwa nangayiphi na indlela koko iSibhalo sisixelela kona ngezaziso zomgwebo jikelele, nokuthetha kuphela ngokukhanya

ndikhanyisele, ndiyabona kuThixo ukuba kwakude kudala ngaphambi kokuba umchasi-Kristu afike, ihlabathi liya kuthwaxwa ziimfazwe eziphalaza igazi; izizwe ziya kuvukelana nezizwe, nezizwe zivukelane neentlanga; imikhosi iya kothuka yodwa, ilizalise ihlabathi ngokubulala nokubulala. Ezi mfazwe zangaphakathi kunye nezangaphandle ziya kubangela ukuhlambalaza okukhulu, ukuhlambalaza, ama-scandals, ububi obungapheliyo, ngokuhlaselwa okuya kwenziwa kwiBandla eliNgcwele, ngokuphanga amalungelo akhe, apho aya kufumana khona okukhulu.

Ngaphandle koko, ndiyabona ukuba umhlaba uya kugungqiswa  ngokwahlukileyo

iindawo ezinongcangcazelo ezoyikekayo kunye nokungcangcazela. Ndibona iintaba ziqhekeka kwaye zigqabhuka ngokuntlitheka okubangela uloyiko kwindawo engqongileyo. Savuya kakhulu ukuba sishiywe yingxolo kunye noloyiko! Kodwa, hayi: Ndibona ukuphuma kwezi ntaba, ngaloo ndlela zahlulwe kwaye zivulekile, iizaqhwithi zamadangatye, umsi, isulfure kunye nebhitumene, ezinciphisa zonke iidolophu zibe luthuthu. Konke oku kunye nezinye iintlekele eziliwaka kufuneka zandulele ukuza kwendoda yesono……..

indenze ndabona indlela ethile emxinwa, emnyama nemnyama,

ijikelezwe ngamasathelayithi kunye nabantu abaxhobileyo ukuyinqanda ukuba isondele. Ngequbuliso kwathi gqi indoda eyomeleleyo neyomeleleyo, eyayilungiselela ukudlula ngale ndlela.

: wayephethe itotshi esandleni sakhe sasekhohlo, kwaye ngasekunene ephethe ikrele elintlangothi-mbini. Wangena endleleni emnyama, ehamba ekukhanyeni kwakhe

isibane, kwaye esilwa ngasekunene nangasekhohlo ngekrele lakhe, ngokungathi unomkhosi uphela wokulwa. Ecaleni kwendlela emnyama kwakukho iindawo ezininzi apho iisathelayithi zazizama ukuyiwisa.

Ekugqibeleni, phezu kwayo nje imigibe nemigudu yabo, le ndoda inamandla nekhaliphileyo yafika ngolonwabo ekugqibeleni, yaza yaguqukela kwiintshaba zayo ukuba ijikelise ubuthathaka babo nobugwala bazo……..

Okukhona sisondela ngakumbi kulawulo lomchasi-Kristu nesiphelo sehlabathi, uJ.

(316-320)

iisathelayithi ziyakwenza iinzame zokwenza abathembekileyo bawele kwimigibe yabo nakwiminatha. Ukuze ubaleke iingozi ezingaka, kuya kufuneka ukuba umKristu ahambe ephethe ikrele nesibane ngesandla, aze azixhobise ngenkalipho njengalaa ndoda yomeleleyo usandula ukuyithanda…….

Okukhona sisondela ekupheleni kwehlabathi, kokukhona ndibona ukuba inani

abantwana bentshabalalo bayanda, yaye abo bamiselwe kwangaphambili bancipha  ngomlinganiselo ofanayo. Oku kuncitshiswa kokunye nokwanda kwabanye kuya kwenziwa ngeendlela ezintathu ezahlukeneyo, athe uJ.-C. wandibonisa ngazo: 1°. ngenani elikhulu labanyuliweyo aya kubatsalela kuye ukuba abasindise kwizibetho ezoyikekayo eziya kulibetha iBandla lakhe; 2°. ngenani elikhulu labafeli-nkolo, eliya kubanciphisa ngokuncamisileyo abantwana bakaThixo, noko lizimasa ukholo kwabo lingayi kubavuna ikrele lentshutshiso; 3°. ngenkitha yabawexuki abaya kukhanyela (ku) J.-C. balandele iqela lotshaba lwakhe, ngokulwa iimfihlelo neenyaniso ezinkulu zonqulo  .

Martyrs of the Faith to the real presence of J.-C. kwi-Eucharist eNgcwele.

Ngenye imini yomthendeleko ndazifumana ndichukumiseke ngakumbi kwaye ndingenwa bubukho benene boMthendeleko oNgcwele…… Ndothuswa kukuba uThixo omkhulu kangaka ezenze mncinane. Ngaba kunokwenzeka, ndathi kuye, O Msindisi wam ongcwele! ukuba unguye na lo Thixo mkhulu, lo Thixo unamandla, woyikekayo, ulawula enyangweni wezulu, ephethe lo mhlaba mkhulu? Baphi na

iimpawu zobu somandla, obu bukhulu bugqwesileyo?…… Kodwa, ewe, Thixo wam, ewe, uMkhululi wam oyintanda nonamandla, nguwe ngokwakho; Ndiyakuqaphela apho ngendlela yobuThixo ngokupheleleyo othetha ngayo apho entliziyweni yam.

Ngokusekelwe kubunyaniso bedinga lakho, ndiyakholelwa ukuba ukho ngenene apho, kwaye ndingazibona ndivuya ukuba ndikwazi ukufela ukholo ngenxa yokuthethelela le nyaniso.

Ndeva ngaphakathi ilizwi lisithi kum, Kuya kubakho inkitha yabo eya kubuva ubunzima ngenxa yayo ngenye imini; ngokuba ekupheleni kweenkulungwane iya kubethwa, ikhuselwe. Kwiminyaka embalwa ngaphambi kokufika kotshaba lwam olukhulu, waqhubeka, uSathana uya kuvelisa abaprofeti bobuxoki abaya kubhengeza umchasi-Kristu njengoMesiya othenjisiweyo wenyaniso,  kwaye

iyakuzama ukutshabalalisa zonke iimfundiso  zobuKristu  … Kwaye nam,  ndongeza

yena, ndiya kubenza baprofete abantwana, namadoda amakhulu; abantu abancinci baya kubhengeza izinto eziya kwazisa ukufika kwam kokugqibela…….

Le nto ndikuxelela yona apha, ntombam, nako konke endikubonise kona, kuya kufundwa kwaye kuxelwe kude kube sekupheleni kweenkulungwane......

§. II.

Ulawulo lomchasi-Kristu.

Yeha! Bawo, kwezi zinto zibuhlungu zindikhokelela kwiinkcukacha ezibuhlungu

!... Ndizifumanisa ndinyanzelekile ukuba ndithethe nawe ngomchasi-Kristu, nangobubi obumele bububangele ulunya lwakhe kwiCawa ka-J.-C.….

Iinceba ezininzi uThixo aya kuzilumkisa uMchasi-Kristu, kwaye uya kusebenzisa kakubi.

Ngokuphathelele ubuqu bakhe, u-J.

ngokungaqhelekanga kulandelelwano losindiso. Ebudaleni obuthe kratya, akasayi kumala ubabalo olomeleleyo loguquko aya kuthi aluxhaphaze njengolokuqala: Ndiyabona ukuba uya kubajikela bonke kuye, ngokuxhatshazwa okugqithisileyo, ngenkani kunye nokuchasa okubalaseleyo, okuya kukhokelela ekubeni aguquke. ukuya

ezele bubumfama bengqondo nobulukhuni bentliziyo; yena

uya kulidelela lonke icebiso nemizekelo emihle yabahlobo bakhe; uya kuthintela konke ukuzohlwaya kwesazela sakhe; uya kuzinyhasha kuzo zonke iindlela iZulu elizama ngazo ukumbuyisela umva, ngaphandle kokufuna ukuthobela ilizwi likaThixo, oya kuthi ekugqibeleni amshiye kwingqiqo yakhe engafanelekanga, kwanamaqabane akhe.

Ukugqithisa kwekratshi lakhe nomsindo wakhe ngakubantwana beBandla.

Lo mntu ubalaseleyo ubavukela ngolu hlobo uMntu oPhezukonke, ndiyabona, Bawo, ukuba umele athotywe aze adane ngaloo mini enkulu yomgwebo, kangangokuba bonke baya kunyanzeleka ukuba bavume ukuba lityala labo kuphela. babe ngabangenakucikideka, kuba baya kuba bebabalwe ngaphezu kokwaneleyo ukuphumelelisa usindiso lwabo. Wonke umntu ongakholwayo, wonke umnquli wezithixo uya kuvuma kwaloo nto inye, baze ngaloo ndlela bazigwebe, bethethelela ubulungisa nokulunga kukaThixo kubo bonke.

Xa esi sigebenga sibonakala emhlabeni, lonke ikratshi, lonke ulunya lwesithunywa sezulu esinemvukelo namahlakani aso aya kubonakala apho kunye naye. Kubonakala ngathi iya kukhatshwa sisihogo sonke kwaye ilandelwe ngabo bonke ulwaphulo-mthetho. Bonke abaxhasi balo mntwana ulishwa wentshabalalo baya kuhlanganisana bengqonge inkokeli yabo ukuba benze imfazwe ngokuchasene noNaphakade. UJ.-C., ke, uya kubonakala ebaxelela oko wakuthethayo kwiisathelayithi zikaYudas eze kumthabatha kuMyezo weMinquma: Iyure yakho.

weza; amandla obumnyama aya kunabela ubukhosi bawo phezu kwam…… Kwaye iya kubavumela ukuba batyhale ububi babo bude bufikelele kwinqanaba eliphawulweyo, kwaye apho bunenjongo yokubamisa, ngaphandle kokuba bakwazi ukudlula ngaphaya.

(321-325)

Ndibona ihlazo eloyikekayo eCaweni, imbubhiso enje jikelele kwindalo iphela, kangangokuba ukucinga nje ngayo kwenza ubani angcangcazele. Asizange siyibone inkohliso engaka, ukungcatsha, uhanahaniso, amakhwele, amasikizi, amatshijolo azo zonke iintlobo…. Isihlwele sabantu abakhanyisiweyo, abazinikele bobuxoki, abazinikele bobuxoki, baya kukuthanda kakhulu ukunganyaniseki, kwaye baya kunabela kuyo yonke indawo ubukhosi be-charlatanism ngenkohliso yomlingo ekwaziyo ukuhenda ukuqonda, ingqondo kunye nentliziyo yabantu abaya kuba ncinane kakhulu. Asizange siyibone imimangaliso yobuxoki emininzi kangaka, yobuxoki

neziprofeto, nabaprofeti ababuxoki; siya kude sikhuphe izibane kunye nemifanekiso eqaqambileyo esiya kuthi siyithathele oothixo….. Ngelizwi nje,

yonke into enokwenziwa sisihogo ngenkohliso nodumo iya kuphunyezwa ukuze kulahlekisa abantu abalula ukuze bakhethe umchasi-Kristu (1).

UPawulos oNgcwele uthi xa ethetha ngomchasi-Kristu, awathi kananjalo wamthiya unyana wotshabalalo: Cujus est adventus secundum operationem Satanæ in omni virtute, et signis, et prodigiis mendacibus, et in omni seductione iniquitatis iis qui pereunt, njl. (II. ad Tes. 2; 9, 10) Ngokucacileyo ipseudochristi et pseudoprophetae et dabunt signa  magna et prodigia ut in errorem inducantur (si fieri potest) etiam electi. (Mat. 24, 24.) Ecce predixi vobis. (indima 25.)

Kuyinyaniso ukuba abalungiseleli bakaJ. unobangela ka-J.-C. kunye nenyaniso yeVangeli yakhe Kodwa, maye! la maxhoba axabisekileyo kungekudala aya kuphathwa njengenkosi yawo yobuthixo; siya kuziphosa phezu kwawo; baya kukhokelela ekugwetyweni: abanomsindo bakholelwa ukuba ngokubabulala balutshabalalisa ngokupheleleyo ulawulo lwakhe; kodwa baya  kuphela

yomeleze ngakumbi nangakumbi. Ewe, Bawo, ndiyabona ukuba kude lee ekulwenzeni buthathaka ukholo ngokufela ukholo kwabantwana balo, baya kuluvuselela ezintliziyweni zabathembekileyo bokwenyani, ngakumbi ababingeleli abalungileyo…. UThixo undenze ndabona ukuba ngentiyo yenkolo yakhe nomntu wakhe othandekayo, baya kufunda ukuhlaziya abafundi bakhe bokugqibela zonke iimeko zomdla wakhe  obuhlungu.

UThixo uya kuthi cwaka okwethutyana. Kodwa yintoni enokwenziwa ngabo bonke ingqumbo engapheliyo ngokuchasene namandla onke kaThixo? Kuxa wazincoma ngoloyiso lwakhe awathi waloyisa ngalo ngobukhazikhazi waza wamenza ukuba azikhonzele eluzukweni lwakhe...

kuya kude kube nini na ukukhukhumala kotshaba lwakhe…. Ah! Bawo, angakwazi ukuqhubela phambili? Emfamekiswe likratshi likaLusifa ngokwakhe, ndimbona lo ungakhathaliyo ephakama ekuzicingeni kwakhe esiya kwitrone kaNaphakade, ngokungathi uza kukhulula isithsaba sakhe aze asibeke phezu kwentloko yakhe; unxibe

ubumfama ukusa kwinqanaba lokukholelwa ukuba unguBungcwele, ukusa kwinqanaba lokuzabalazela ukumbhangisa, ukuze ahlale etroneni yakhe aze apho afumane ukunqulwa zizo zonke izidalwa, andise ubukhosi bakhe kuyo yonke indawo phezu kwamabhodlo aloo Somandla... Wenza ntoni, sijwili? Ndakhwaza: reckless wenzani? Ah! uphakamisa ubugwenxa bakho kwaye ugqibezele ukugwetywa kwakho!…. Ubaleka uye kwakho

ilishwa lanaphakade... Kumisiwe; Mhlonele uMnini-nto-zonke; buyela kuThixo wakho; mhlawumbi lisekhona ixesha!…

Uyabethwa aze atshatyalaliswe ngabo wayehamba nabo.

Andilunganga Bawo; ixesha lihambile… Umgca ushiye ilifu…, uqhwithela lwagqabhuka phezu kwentloko yakhe enetyala, kwaye ngelishwa ekugqibeleni wabethwa ngumbane awayenobuganga bokuchasa…. Ngoxa kuhlaselo lokugqibela,  yena

wazama, ngokungathi kunjalo, ukunciphisa uNgunaphakade phantsi kweenyawo zakhe, u-J, C. uyambhangisa ngomoya womlomo wakhe; ethabathela phezulu ekuphakameni  kwakhe

ugxalathelana kunye namaqabane akhe ukuya ezantsi esihogweni, apho ukuze abe namava esiphelo sesithunywa sezulu esinemvukelo eyathi yaxelisa ukuvukela kwayo nekratshi layo. Ndiyababona apho

siwe ngokukhawuleza nangamandla anjalo, kangangokuba ubunzulu bonzonzobila buphazamisekile, kwaye sonke isihogo siyangxola!…. Enjani yona ingozi! USathana ngokwakhe uyoyika….

Uninzi lwabalingane bakhe baguquka.

Ndathi, Bawo, ukuba umchasi-Kristu uwile kunye nabo; kodwa zonke izinto awayesebenzisana nazo zazikude ukuba zingawa kunye naye; kuba ndiyabona ukuba kwiinjongo zenceba, ukulunga kobuthixo kugcine inani elikhulu kakhulu elinqwenelela ubabalo lwenguquko, ekuya kuthi, enyanisweni, abaninzi bazuze.

UThixo uya kufuna nokuba, njengoko endenza ndibone, ukunqumamisa, ngokuthanda kwabo, imiqondiso ethile kunye neziganeko ezithile eziyingozi, ukubashiya ixesha elingakumbi lokwenza inguquko, kwaye kuya kuba kuphela emva koko baya kubanelisa ubulungisa bakhe. Umsindo wakhe ngentlungu enyanisekileyo nenyanisekileyo, nangokuncwina nokwaneliseka kwentliziyo etyumkileyo nethobekileyo, ukuze uYehova abanikele ngesisa kubo bonke ababhexeshi bomgwebo wakhe.

Iimpawu ezintsha zoMgwebo wokuGqibela.

Ke, Bawo, siya kuzibona iinyikima ziphindaphindeka; ye

buya kunwebeka ubumnyama obungqingqwa phezu kwawo, bungabi sazinzisa  , buvulele iindawo eziliwaka phantsi kweenyawo zabemi bawo; izixeko,

(326-330)

iinqaba, amadoda angenakubalwa aya kuginywa kwezi zikroba; izinto ezibhidekileyo ziya kothuka omnye komnye ngokubi, kwaye izidima ze

Izulu liya kugungqiswa yiyo......

umhlaba, uya kuhlanganisa neendudumo nemibane, ekuya kuba ngumoya wayo

ivuselelwa rhoqo kwaye ivutha; ulwandle lunomsindo, lusongela ukukhukula ihlabathi, luya kuwela imida yalo, luphakamisele esibhakabhakeni amaza alo alephuzayo....

Ziya kuqhiphuka umbilini izizwe, zakubona iintlekele ezininzi. Noko ke, Bawo, ndiyabona kuThixo ukuba kwanaboni baya kutshabalala

ngokwahlukeneyo. UThixo uya kubalinda kude kube ngumzuzu wokugqibela, kwaye isohlwayo kwabanye siya kubangela, ngoloyiko, ekuguqukeni kwabanye; kwaye ngesivumelwano esimangalisayo sobulungisa nenceba, oko kuya kuyidla iperile yokuqala kuya kusebenzela usindiso lwesibini. Baza kuvula amehlo abo, benze inguquko kwaye babuyele kuThixo, ngelixa isihogo siya kuzaliswa ngamaxhoba alishwa ukuba imfazwe kunye nezinye izibetho ziya kuba nazo.

ivuniwe…. Ah! Bawo ndibabona bewa apho bebaninzi njengesichotho emaphandleni xa kusithwa isaqhwithi esinamandla nesivuthuvuthuvu!bona kuThixo ukuba kubekho inani elithile eliya kuzahlula kwabaguqukayo ngokwenene

ziya kuhlangana zenze iinkqubo ezingakumbi zokungahloneli Thixo noburhelembhi  . Abayi kulahla nantoni na kwiminqweno yabo nakwiminqweno yabo, kwaye baya kubeka phezulu ekugwetyweni kwabo ngokubeka ityala labo .... Untywiliselwe  kwi

uburhelembhi netshijolo, ndibabona, bephethe iindebe zegolide, behlekisa ngezisongelo zoPhezukonke, bedlala ngokulinganayo ngenxa yenceba yakhe nengqumbo yakhe. Olunjani lona ukoyikeka ukuzonwabisa kolwaphulo-mthetho! yaye ngubani na onokubuqonda ubungangamsha bayo, yaye imele ibe yingozi kangakanani na kubo?

Ndiyabeva abapheleliselana nabo bangaphambili, bebakhalimela bencwina, bajika ihambo yabo balandele ihambo yabo, babuyele kuThixo kusekho.

ixesha… Nenza ntoni, bahlobo bethu! bakhala kubo ... ucinga ntoni, kwaye bubuphi ubumfama obubulalayo obukulukuhlayo? Akuyiboni na impindezelo yezulu egqabhuka phezu kweentloko zethu, isibetha macala onke? Ngaba ayicacanga into yokuba siye sikhohliswa ngamadinga nozuko lwalo mkhohlisi wazenza wanqulwa njengoThixo nowayenguJ.

wohlwaya ngokuqatha?… Ukuba izulu alizange limyeke, simele sithembise ntoni ngokulandela isiphoso sakhe? kwaye ingaba isohlwayo asifumanayo asiyi kuba sisiphelo esifanele siphele naso ihambo yethu?… Owu bahlobo bethu! siyakubongoza, vula amehlo akho ukuze uqonde kwaye unqule kuthi uThixo oyinyaniso osohlwaya ngokufanelekileyo ukuze emva koko asenzele inceba…. Amaqabane kulwaphulo-mthetho lwethu, nokuba kunjalo

ngenguquko yethu; masimanyane ukuze sikhulule ingqumbo yobuthixo, emva kokuba simanyene ukuyiphemba. Masenze ubundlobongela kubulungisa bakhe, kwaye sizame, ukuba kunokwenzeka, ukuphepha ikamva lomkhohlisi owasilukuhlayo...

Liyinyaniso elokuba, baphenduleni abangamatshijolo, ukuthi, Simbonile uThixo esimnqulayo; kodwa oku kungenxa yethu esinye isizathu sokungaqapheli kunye nokunqula nayiphi na kuzo, ekubeni kusengasenakwenzeka ukwazi into emayiyilindele. Ngoko ke enoba inkokeli yethu iye yawa ngasekunene okanye ngasekhohlo ayibalulekanga kangako kuthi: siphila kakuhle, yaye elona khondo lobulumko kukunandipha okuthile, ngaphandle kokukhathazeka ngekamva mhlawumbi elingekhoyo. isiphelo athe wehlelwa kuko okanye yintoni na

linda... Ewe, bayaphinda, ewe, basebenzise ithuba lexesha leziyolo kwaye bagxothe yonke into enokutshintsha ulonwabo, bachole iintyatyambo zeminyaka elungileyo ngaphambi kokuba zibune, le kuphela kwekhondo lezilumko, kwaye yile yethu. yonke ifilosofi. Asiyi kuphazamisa iingqondo zethu ngeembono ze-atrabiry zemfundiso yezakwalizwi engcungcuthekisa ingqondo nemizimba, kwaye itye.

silahlekelwe ziintsuku ezimnandi esizinikwa yindalo kuphela ukuba sizonwabele…Zitsho njalo ezi zidenge, kubumfama beengqondo zazo nokuqaqadeka kweentliziyo zazo, zijikela ngokuchasene nazo zonke iindlela zosindiso….

Yeha! abaliboni ikamva elilusizi elibalindeleyo; kuba ixesha emva kokuba uThixo ebabethe phantsi kwaye abaqinise ngenkokeli yabo, kwaye oko ngaphakathi kwabo

§. III.

Intuthuzelo engaqhelekanga kunye noncedo uThixo alujonge kwiCawa yakhe kumadabi ayo okugqibela.

Okokugqibela Bawo siphuma kwinto eyandivisa kabuhlungu, iintshutshiso neembandezelo zeBandla. Ngoku ke ndinezinto ezininzi ezithuthuzelayo kuni, endifuna ukunixelela zona ngaye, uncedo nentuthuzelo enikelwa lizulu kuye ekupheleni kobomi bakhe. Ilanga lobuthixo lokusesikweni alizange libengezele imitha eqaqambileyo kunangaphambili

(331-335)

ukusetwa kwayo. Ndithetha ukuba ubungcwele buka-J.-C. abuzange bubonakale bukhazimle ngakumbi kunaxa wayeza kubhubha emnqamlezweni. Kuya kuba njalo nakumfazi wakhe, ongasoze abonakale engowobuthixo ngakumbi kunaxa esondela esiphelweni sakhe, kwaye sele eza kuphelelwa... Ndikhokelwe ngoko ndancediswa ngakumbi kunangaphambili ngomoya wenyaniso, wamandla nowentuthuzelo, bona eli qabane lingcwele ezingalweni naphantsi kokhuseleko lombhali walo, ongayeki ukumnceda nokumphinda-phinda, ngokuhambelana neemfuno zakhe, uninzi lwakhe.

ulangazelelo, ezona ncedo zinamandla, ezona nceba zakhe zicingayo, ezona nceba zakhe zibalaseleyo, ezona ntuthuzelo zakhe zimnandi...

Isibane sokholo esingcwele esisalathisa abantwana bakhe kuwo onke amanyathelo abo siya kuqaqamba ngakumbi kubo ngokuphindwe kane, yaye amadangatye othando olungcwele aya kulugcina ezintliziyweni zabo uMoya oyiNgcwele aya kuthi ngoko asulungeke ngokungenakuthelekiswa nanto kwaye avutha ngakumbi. Ndiyabona ukuba inzondelelo ye uzuko lukaThixo luya kwanda kubo ngokomlinganiselo wokholo, nethemba, nothando oluya kubaphilisa. Abalungiseleli kungekuphela nje ukufela ukholo, kodwa bakwanazo nokujongana nengqumbo yabachasi-Kristu abangamawaka alishumi. Kananjalo banqwenela ngenzondelelo ukuphalaza igazi labo, kangangokuba ndibabona bekwisihlwele bebaleka ukuya kuzibonakalisa ekreleni, ukuze babandezeleke ngovuyo kwezona ntuthumbo zibuhlungu kwindalo. Kwanele ukuba babekhe bazivakalisa bengooJ.-C., ukuze bazuze olona loyiso lupheleleyo noluzukileyo kuzo zonke iintshaba zakhe. Ukuwahlasela nokuwoyisa yinto enye kwikholwa lokwenene, ngakumbi kumKristu ololo  hlobo.

USaint uMikayeli ukhokelela entlango inani elincinane labathembekileyo abasalayo emva kwentshutshiso yoMchasi-Kristu. Ummangaliso kubo  .

UThixo uya kuvelisa abaprofeti abatsha abaya kubathumela ukuba bathuthuzele iBandla lakhe, ngokubhengeza kuyo egameni lakhe ubabalo alugcinele lona. Abathembekileyo ngokwenene baya kubabona rhoqo iingelosi zabo ezilungileyo kunye namanye amandla omoya ukubakhusela nokubathuthuzela  ,

ngakumbi iNgelosi enkulu eNgcwele uMikayeli, oyena mkhuseli unenzondelelo weCawe, noya kuhlala enaye ukumkhokelela esiphelweni. Uya kubonakala kuye ngokubonakalayo kwiindibano ezahlukeneyo…. UThixo uya kwenza imimangaliso emininzi ethanda eli Bandla lixhwalekileyo, kwaye ndiyabona ukuba uya kwenza enye yolungelelwaniso lokuqala nobona buchule bukhulu, obufana novuko lukawonke wonke noludume kakubi.

abaninzi ke babulawa ngenxa yokholo. Baya kuphinda bavuselelwe, ukuze bathuthuzeleke kakhulu eli Bandla abaya kuba ngabaxhasi nabakhuseli balo ngakumbi abangoyiswayo, njengoko ingqumbo yabatshutshisi ingasayi kuphinda ibe nako ukwenza nantoni na ngokuchasene nabo. Abayi kungeneka kwimingxuma yeentlungu, kwaye bangakwazi ukufikelela kuloyiko lokufa. Aba bangcwele bavusiweyo baya kuthelela iingelosi kunye nabantu abathunywe nguThixo, ukuba bathuthuzele kwaye baxhase abathembekileyo; nangona bebonakala kubazalwana babo, baya kufana nabangcwele ezulwini, besonwabela apha ngaphantsi kokubona nobukho bukaThixo….

Sele nditshilo, Bawo, ukuba phakathi kweentlobo ngeentlobo zentuthumbo eziya kwenziwa ukuba zibandezeleke abafeli-nkolo bakaJ. inzondo kunye

ngokumelana nomnqweno wakhe obuhlungu. Yiyo ke loo nto, ngokuyilwa kobudemon ngokwenene, ingqumbo yesihogo iya kufumana indlela yokudlala  nomntu wayo othandekayo, kwaye izanelise, ngokuyibulala  .

Inkosi kwilungu ngalinye lelungu….. Kodwa ke, ndiyabona ukuba uThixo uya kuba nako ukubunqanda ingqumbo yala mageza, ukubabulala kuphela abaninzi kangangoko anako  . Ngelize baya kuziphosa njengeengonyama ezilambileyo kulo mhlambi uthandwayo, ngenjongo yokuxhela yonk’ into, abasayi kuze bavune ngaphandle kwezo zezimvu zakhe yena ngokwakhe aya kuziphawulela ukufela ukholo, nezimiselwe ukuba zingcwatywe eluzukweni lwakhe. Eli nani ligcwaliswa, ndibona isandla sakhe  sonke-

benamandla okuphelisa umsindo wabo, ngaphandle kokuba ube nako, nangayiphi na indlela, ukongamela, ukubulala omnye ngokuchasene nentando yakhe……

Ngequbuliso, Bawo, uMikayeli ozukileyo ozukileyo ubonakala ngokubonakalayo kubefundisi nakubantwana beBandla, encitshiswe ukususela ngoko ukuya kwinani elincinane kakhulu, xa kuthelekiswa noko kwakukhe kwabanjalo: Ndilandeleni, zihlobo zam, wathi kubo, sibaleke…. Lo ngumthetho kaThixo…. Masiye kwelinye ilizwe siyokufuna indawo yokhuseleko ekhuselekileyo kumsindo wabatshutshisi bethu…. Ngala mazwi, uhamba entlokweni yabo, kwaye iBandla liphela liyamlandela, njengoko oonyana bakaSirayeli bamlandela uMoses ukuya kwilizwe lesithembiso…. Ke, Bawo, ndiyabona ukuba ngobuqhetseba bengalo yakhe enamandla onke, u-J. kwabo babefuna ukunetha ngenye imini besuka encotsheni yelitye….

Imikhosi ebasukelayo ayisaboni namnye umkhondo wabo;

cinga ukuba baye babatshabalalisa bonke kwaye bavuyisana nabo ngoloyiso lwabo,

ngelixa isiphatha-zingelosi esihamba entlokweni yabo, silandela iintshukumo zoMoya oyiNgcwele, sibakhokelela enzulwini yentlango, kwindawo enkulu ekwanti,

(336-340)

uya kuba ninzi ukuhlupheka ngenxa yendlala; ekunxanweni nakuzo zonke iintsizi zokunqongophala nobuhlwempu; kodwa izilingo ziya kuba, ngobabalo, iindlela eziyinyani zokungcwaliswa kubo. UThixo uya kubaxhasa ngemimangaliso yokwenene… Uya kubondla ngamanye amaxesha ngesonka esingummangaliso, ngamanye amaxesha ngelizwi lakhe elingcwele, kwaye amaxesha amaninzi ngokufumana umzimba wakhe. Kuya kubakho uMthendeleko oNgcwele kuphela wokubaxhasa….

Abantu bakaThixo bahlanganisene ke entlango, ezona ziganeko zibi kakhulu ebantwini baya kuthandeka kubo,

yonke iyakubonakala iboleka kwiimfuno zakhe…. Umhlaba, wona  macala onke

livuleka phantsi kweenyawo zeziinyeliso, lizinzile, lizinzile phantsi kweenyawo zabantwana bakaThixo. Amatye kunye neentaba, eziya kube zibhukuqwe yizothuso ezinobundlobongela, ziya kuba zivule iipaseji ezinkulu eziphantsi komhlaba  apho abathembekileyo baya kukhuselwa khona ekuthunjweni komoya kunye nokusukelana  noluntu.

izizwe eziziintshaba…. Olu celomngeni luthandekayo luya kuguqulwa lube ziitempile, apho iindumiso zikaThixo ziya kuhlokoma ubusuku nemini. Siza kuphakamisa

izibingelelo zozuko lwakhe, nabalungiseleli bakhe basebenzise amatye angcwele, nempahla, nezihombo, ababeze nazo, ukuba babhiyozele khona imihla ngemihla iimfihlelo zobuthixo, ukuze kwakhiwe ibandla elingcwele labanyuliweyo bakaYehova.

Uya kudlala ke uSomandla ngenkohlakalo yeentshaba zakhe; uya kubahleka abo bathi, njengezidenge, bazulazule emhlabeni belinyelisa igama lakhe kwaye bezifica kubo bonke ubugqwirha, ngaphandle kokufumana nenye intsalela yobuKristu abaya kuqhayisa ngayo ngokuyitshabalalisa….. Ngaloo ndlela amaqela amabini aphikisanayo aya koyisa  . , njengoko sele besenza, nganye  ikwaneyakhe

indlela, de kube sisigqibo sokugqibela, ngokulungisa ikamva labo bobabini ngokungenakuguqulwa, sele ibonisile ukuba yeyiphi kwezi zibini inesizathu soloyiso...

Ngaloo ndlela ubungcwele babathembekileyo bahlanganiswa.

Lo mkhosi mhle, owenziwe ngamasalela akwaSirayeli, uThixo undenza ndiwubone, Bawo, phantsi komfanekiselo wenqwelo encinci yoloyiso equlathe abanyuliweyo bayo, eya kuthi ibenze boyise kubo bonke abachasa uhambo lwayo loxolo…. Lukhuselwe kuyo yonke imida, phantsi kokhuselo lwezulu, olu luntu lungcwele noluthandekayo luya kuzixakekisa kuphela ngentsikelelo nokudumisa umkhululi walo noThixo walo. Bamanyene ngamatyathanga othando, baya kuba nentliziyo enye nomphefumlo omnye; kodwa  yabo

uthando luya kuba nyulu kwaye lukhutshwe kwiinkanuko, ukuba, nangona zombini izini zikhona, akuyi kubakho kuxhatshazwa okanye ukugxeka; asisayi kuthetha ngomtshato apho: Ndiyathandabuza ukuba siya kucinga ngayo, noko uThixo akandazi nto ngayo. Kubonakala ngathi aba bamiselwe ngenxa engaphambili baya kuba sele bethabathe inxaxheba kwimeko yabasikelelweyo, kangangokuba baya kungqina kakhulu ngokukucekisa oko kuthoba indalo nokwanelisa iinkanuko. Kuya kuba nzima ukuzibhokoxa ngaphandle kokuqhelisela inkolo, kwaye baya kuzikhathaza kuphela ngenkathalo yokudumisa nokukhonza iNkosi; ukuze bamcele ukuba mabufike ubukumkani bakhe lize libe loyise umcimbi wakhe…. Abayi kumcenga ukuba ohlwaye iintshaba zakhe, kodwa ukubakhanyisela kwaye

Xolela....

Ngalo lonke eli xesha baya kwaziswa ngobuchule babatshutshisi babo ngobulungiseleli bezithunywa zezulu ezilungileyo, abakhuseli babo. Le mimoya isikelelekileyo iya kutyhutyha ihlabathi, ilahle aboni enguqukweni kwaye ibabuyisele esifubeni seCawe abo bangazange bayazi, okanye abanqwenela ukubuyela kuyo emva kokuba beyishiyile, baya kukhathalela kakhulu ukulumkisa abantu. ithembekile kuko konke okuya kwenzeka apho, yaye ngokukodwa imigudu elilize yeentlanga eziziintshaba eziye zafunga ukutshabalalisa kwazo. Baza kwazi ngako oku ukuba bukude kangakanani na ubungendawo babo, nako konke oko ubushushu babo bubenza ukuba bakwenze, ade uMikayeli oNgcwele eze kubhengeza kubo impindezelo ayithathileyo uThixo kwabo bangabasukelanga, ehlala ezama ukufumana indawo yabo. umhlalaphantsi...

Iintshaba zethu ezivutha ngumsindo zibhangisiwe, uya kuzixelela; akukho nalinye intsalela yomkhosi wabo ongangcwele notshabalalisayo esaseleyo. INkosi yasikhusela  ngesandla; wenze okusesikweni kwiintshaba zabantu bakhe nakwigama  lakhe

: ixesha lokuthinjwa liphelile; ngoku singavela kwaye sishiye indawo yethu engaphantsi komhlaba….. Ndilandele kwakhona kwaye ndiza kukukhokelela kwindawo yokugqibela yokuhlala yasemhlabeni iZulu elikulungiselele yona, indawo yokuhlala eyonwabileyo kunye nekhululekile ngakumbi, apho kufuneka silinde ukuzaliseka kweminqweno yethu enenzondelelo. . . Kuba ndithi kuni, Imini yeNkosi ikufuphi; kwakamsinyane siya kungqina ukuza kwakhe okuzukileyo, nempindezelo

eqinisekileyo ukuba kufuneka atsale kuzo zonke iintshaba zakhe kunye nezethu… Masimke, atsho, kwaye ndibona umkhosi wakhe osele uphumelele umlandela ukuya kwinkampu yakhe yokugqibela, ukuya kweli lizwe litsha esiza kuthetha ngalo okokuqala.

Izenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho nezohlwayo zomchasi-Kristu nabalandeli bakhe

iintshutshiso noloyiso lweBandla zathatha ngokulandelelana iindibano ezininzi; phezu koko, ipulpiti nenkundla zandidinwa kakhulu iintsuku ezimbini ezindilisekileyo.

(341-345)

wandinyanzela ukuba ndiphumle iintsuku ezimbalwa; kangangokuba kwaba kuphela emva kweveki apho sakwazi ukuqhubeka nomdlalo. Lithe xa lihamba ixesha ndeva losisi enkqonkqoza ethethela phantsi kwi gate encinci aqhele ukuthetha nam kuyo. Ndasondela, wandibuza ethule eyam

iindaba. Ndiziva ngcono kakhulu, Dade, ndaphendula. Ukuba uyandikholelwa, Bawo, waphendula wathi, awuzukuzibhokoxa

nanamhlanje: ngandlel’ ithile, ndize ngabom kuphela ukuza kukumema ukuba uphumle; kufuneka uyifune, ndiyiqonda ngokupheleleyo loo nto.

Nangona kunjalo, Bawo, uqhubeke, andinakuzifihla kuwe ukuba ixesha lixinzelele kakhulu kwishishini lethu…. Ndiyabona sisi

ufumana imiqobo…. Sichukumisa intshutshiso evulekileyo (1). Kancinci wena

Yonke into yenzeka njengoko ebecebe. Esi saziso  wasenza kum ngasekupheleni kuka-1790 okanye ekuqaleni kowe-1791; kwaye ngelo xesha kwakusengumbuzo, kwathiwa, wokufumana iindlela  zokuhlawula

babekeke ababingeleli, bangabatshutshisi...

uya kunyanzeleka ukuba usishiye, usabe, kwaye ndinoloyiko lokuba oko kuya kwenzeka ungekawagqibi amanqaku akho kuyo yonke into eseleyo ukuze ndikuxelele. Olu lwahlulo lulusizi, Bawo, ndiyayoyika, qiniseka ngayo, ngenxa yakho, ngenxa yendlu yonke, nangenxa yam ngakumbi…. Nangona kunjalo, akufuneki, ndiyakubongoza, ukuba uzibhence, ngenxa yoko, ukukugulisa ngakumbi: kuya kuba ngandlela-thile ukulinga uThixo. Ndiza kuza xa undixelela…. Hayi ke ntombam, ndimxelele, ungaze uyibeke ecaleni ingomso into onokuyenza namhlanje. Ndikulindile yonke le mihla yokugqibela; Ngoku ndikwimeko yokukuva ngovuyo olukhulu; kwaye kude nokundidika, yonke into ondixelela yona iya kuba lelona yeza lindilungeleyo

ngentloko endikhe ndibe nayo ngamanye amaxesha…. Unyanisekile kakhulu, Bawo, uphendule wathi; kodwa ekubeni uniwisele umthetho, ndiya kuthobela;

UThixo akuphe ukuba ungabi mbi ngenxa yoko! uyayazi indlela endiya kuzisola ngayo…. Ngoko ke ndiza kuthatha intambo yam

intetho, ndilandela ukukhanya okundikhokelayo. Ndiza kuthetha kancinci namhlanje

; ngaphandle koko, nceda undazise ukuba uneentloni kancinci; kuba ndizakurhoxa kwangoko....

§.  IV.

Uhambo lokugqibela lwabantwana beBandla: indlela yabo  yobomi; intuthuzelo yabo; iintlungu zabo; intlungu yabo; ukufa kwabo.

“Egameni loYise, loNyana neloMoya oyiNgcwele, ngoYesu noMariya, ndiya kwenza intobeko.”

Khawufane ufane ucinge, Bawo wam, isithili esithile, okanye isithuba somhlaba, apho indalo iqokelele bonke ubutyebi bayo nabo bonke ubuhle bayo, nalapho umntu engenako ukunqwenela ubomi bomzimba; ilizwe elichulumancisayo, iParadisi yokwenyaniso yasemhlabeni, apho uThixo ngokwakhe watyala imithi echumileyo yazo zonke iintlobo; umhlaba ovelisa ngokwemvelo konke okuyimfuneko kukutya nolonwabo lwabemi bawo; nantsi indawo yobugqwirha uThixo ayimisele abantwana bakhe, kwaye abaya kuyo ngolungelelwano olulungileyo; bevuma iingoma zokudumisa kwakhe. Lilo ke elo ilizwe ledinga abazibeka kulo, bekhokelwa zizithunywa zezulu zokuqala, ezibalelayo kuThixo.

bawugqithise umda wesithili abamisele bona; ngokuba ilizwe elibajikelezileyo lilizwe eliqalekisiweyo, elihlanjelweyo ngamatyala, liyinqambi.

ukonakala kwabo bahleli kulo, nabamele ukuba ngabo ngonaphakade

yahluliwe… Eyona nto indibetha ngakumbi kweli lizwe lonwabileyo kukukhanya okucacileyo okulungiselelwe lona, ​​kwaye okuya kuthi kungenelwe kuphela ngabemi balo… Kodwa andazi ukuba mandiviwe njani…… Ndimele- wena, Bawo, isaqhwithi esoyikekayo esibe ukukhanya kwemini saza sasasaza ubumnyama phezu komhlaba. Ukuba ukukhanya kwelanga kuza kugqobhoza ilifu elineentambo kwindawo ethile, ubona kumgama isangqa esikhanyayo kwindawo yeglowubhu apho imitha yayo yobubele ithwala khona, ngelixa kuyo yonke indawo amehlo efumanisa amazwe anikezelwe ebumnyameni kuphela. ngumsindo wesaqhwithi….

Elo iya kuba lilizwe elitsha labantwana bakaThixo bokwenene, xa lithelekiswa nehlabathi liphela…. Baya kunandipha, ukongeza kwezinye izibonelelo zale ndawo imnandi, ukukhanya okuthambileyo nokuthuthuzelayo kwelanga okuya kwenzelwa kuphela.

kubo, yaye leyo, ngesangqa elikhanyayo imitha yayo, iya kukhanyisa kuphela elundini ntununtunu, kunye norhatyazo olumxinwa le enye Gessen, ngoxa umntu uya kubona kuphela isiphithiphithi emanyumnyezi kuwo wonke ubungakanani amazwe akude kunye nabamelwane.

Ndibona abathembekileyo bexakekile bona kuqala ngokwakha iitempile ukuze bahlangane apho, kwaye baye kwiinkonzo zobungcwalisa kunye nokubhiyozelwa kweemfihlakalo ezingcwele. Ndithi iitempile, kuba ndiyabona ukuba abathembekileyo basazakuba baninzi kakhulu ukuba itempile enye ibanele bonke. Kuya kuthatha ezininzi; kuba andiqondi ukuba kwakha kwakho iicawa ezininzi ngolu hlobo ehlabathini

(346-350)

isithonga esihle sabanyuliweyo beNkosi, esilizwe lilikhulu kangangokuba siya kulidla; kanti ke eli butho liya kuba lincinane kakhulu xa lithelekiswa naloo nto liya kuba lilo, nomhlaba ube mxinwa kakhulu, xa uthelekiswa namazwe aphethwe zizizwe eziziintshaba.

UThixo ngokwakhe uya kulungiselela zonke izinto zokwakha eziyimfuneko, yaye uya kubonisa indlela yokuphunyezwa kwazo, kwaneplani nokuyilwa kwemisebenzi enikelwe kuzuko lwakhe. Yonke imihla kuya kunyuswa idini elingcwele lezibingelelo apho. Ababingeleli baya kubuyisela ucwangco oluhle lweBandla, kangangoko  kunokwenzeka; baya kubhiyoza, bashumayele, bafundise, benze yonke imisebenzi yabo, yaye abasayi kuze bapheze ukulungisa iintliziyo zabo ngokuza kukaMesiya, nangona bengenako ukulazi ngokupheleleyo elona xesha lichanileyo lesibini  .

ukufika. Ngelizwi labo, siya kumlinda imihla ngemihla. Umthendeleko  wabathembekileyo uya kuba rhoqo kwaye imihla ngemihla kwinani elikhulu. Inzondelelo yamakholwa okuqala iya koyiswa kakhulu Oomoya abasikelelekileyo, abasoloko bechwayitile ukuba babe neendaba ezilungileyo zokuvakalisa eBandleni ezivela kuThixo, njengokubuya kwazo zonke  iintlobo .

eziofisini, ziya kuyiphinda inzondelelo yabo njengoko esondela esiphelweni somsebenzi  wakhe ndibabona bebhabha besuka ezulwini beza emhlabeni,  ngesantya

engenakucingeleka kwaye ihambelana nobukrelekrele babo obungenakucingeleka. Bahamba ngephanyazo kwiindawo ezinkulu, batyelela eyona mimandla ithe qelele, ukuze bahlule ingqolowa kumququ nomququ obusiwe emlilweni. Bakhokelela emva esifubeni seBandla inani labaguqukileyo bokwenyaniso ababezahlule kulo, baze bangenise nasesifubeni salo amaqaba angazange alufumane ubhaptizo kwaye angazange abe nolwazi lukaThixo.

Ndibabona bobabini bezinikele njengabafe kubabingeleli baka-J. Baya kukuvuma ekuhleni ukungathembeki kwabo nolwaphulo-mthetho lwabo, kodwa ngeemvakalelo zentlungu ezaziya kuphembelela abona bangenaluvelwano nabanokukwazi ukubabulala, ukuba uThixo akabulondolozanga ubomi babo  . Abalungiseleli baya kubalungiselela ubhaptizo olungcwele, okanye isohlwayo, ngokweemfuno zabo. Baya kwamkelwa esifubeni seBandla, ukuze bakhelwe kwaye bathuthuzelwe bonke  abathembekileyo  . Ngaloo ndlela, ngokwenza  imiyalelo

Osenyangweni, ngokwesiphelo sabo, aba moya basikelelweyo baya kuvelisa inceba yobuthixo kwabo bamiselwe ngenxa engaphambili, baze ngaloo ndlela bafumane iindlela zokuzalisa kakhulu, eBandleni, iindawo zabo baya kunqunyulwa kulo ngokreqo, okanye inokurhoxa kuyo ngokulandelelana; kuba abathembekileyo abayi kumiswa kwimo yokholo, nalubabalo

akuvumelekanga; kodwa baya kukwazi ngokusetyenziswa kakubi kwenkululeko yabo yokuzikhethela ukuyihlutha kwaye baqhubeke… ..

Aba bantwana bokwenyani beBandla badityaniswe ngamatyathanga othando,

iya kuseka phakathi kwabo iriphabliki encinane, eyona igqibeleleyo yakha yabonwa emhlabeni. Akusayi kubakho mithetho yasekuhlaleni, namagunya, namapolisa angaphandle, kuba siya kulazi kuphela igunya likaThixo, esiya kuthi silandele umthetho wakhe ongcwele, ngomgaqo wesazela nothando kuphela, singawutyesheli. Imeko eyonwabileyo! iya kuba lulawulo lobuthixo lokwenyaniso, obeluya kuba kuphela korhulumente wohlanga loluntu, ukuba umntu ebengonanga. Yonke impahla iya kuba yinto eqhelekileyo apho, ngaphandle kokwahlulo phakathi kweyam neyakho . Ukuze iCawe yamandulo ibe ngumzobo  woku  . Wonke umntu  uya kukhathalela

ngesizathu, ngaphezu kwemfuno, yomsebenzi ophakathi, okwaziyo usuku ngalunye ukwenza umzimba uphile phantse ngokupheleleyo ezulwini, kunye nokugcina ubomi umntu alindele ukuba buphele nangawuphi na umzuzu……

Olona khathalelo lukhulu kubo bonke ke ngoko luya kuba lunqulo lwezibingelelo, kwaye

ukugcinwa kwayo yonke into enxulumene nenkolo kwaye inokuba negalelo kusindiso olufanayo nakwimfezeko yabantwana bakhe. Umntu uya kuva kulo mbutho ungcwele kuphela iingoma kunye neengoma zovuyo, umoya wovuyo  ,

amaqhina emvisiswano oluya kuhlala luwenza uthando lobuthixo, ekuzukiseni uThixo ongcwele kathathu; ingezizo ezo ngoma zingcolileyo, ezo zikhalo zingcolileyo nezonakalisayo zomculo ovuselelayo ohlekisayo nothambileyo.

namhlanje ngolwaphulo-mthetho abantwana benkulungwane ababenetyala…… Ngezi zithethe zingcwele zonke iintliziyo ziya kungena kwaye zitshiswe ngawona dangatye asulungekileyo, kwaye ukusuka esifubeni seBandla lomhlaba kuya kuphuma rhoqo.

ikonsathi emnandi, ukuyidibanisa kwaye isabele kwiikonsathi zeBandla laseZulwini, nokubuyisela kumculo umsebenzi wawo wendalo kunye nendawo yawo yokuqala.

Ngaba ke ngoko ngaba sifanele simangaliswe xa lo mkhosi wasemhlabeni usiya ujongwa ngakumbi nangakumbi kwaye uphole eZulwini?…… phakathi kwaba bantwana babantu? Ngaba sifanele simangaliswe, ekugqibeleni, ukuba kukho, njengoko uJ.-C. wandichazelayo, inkitha yabafeli-nkolo beminqweno nentando, lowo olona thando ludlamkileyo luya kudla ngokutshiseka kwalo? La maxhoba onwabileyo aya kumisa ukulinda

(351-355)

ukubona nokuzuza u-J.-C. ebuqaqawulini bakhe. Kwelakhe icala, uJ.-C. uya kubonakala ekuvuyela ukuzibona enqwenelwa ngolo hlobo ngabona bantwana bakhe abathandayo. Uya kukwamkela ngovuyo ukuncwina okuthambileyo kweentliziyo zabo. Ezi ngelosi zasemhlabeni ziya kwabelana ngamadangatye eeserafi, kwaye ziya kuyiphikisa ngothando nabemi bokuqala baseZulwini…..

Umbono kaDade ebuntwaneni bakhe, owavakalisa imo yeCawa kumaxesha amva nje.

Ngale nto, bawo, kufuneka ndikuxelele uphawu olulodwa lobuncinci bam, kuba kukuxelela ukuba uThixo andinike namhlanje.

ingcaciso, endingazange ndiyihoye kude kube namhlanje. Ndiseneminyaka esixhenxe okanye esibhozo kuphela ubudala, uThixo wandinika umbono ngolu hlobo; kwachaphazela amehlo omzimba nawengqondo ngaxeshanye: Malunga naphakathi kobusuku obumnyama kakhulu ndavuka, kwaye ekuvukeni ndabona kumbindi wokukhanya kukabawo malunga neenyawo ezimbini ukujikeleza.

Esi sithuba sesetyhula sibonakala kum ngokuchanekileyo sizaliswe ngamalahle avuthayo kunye namalahle adibeneyo, ahlelwe ngokulinganayo kunye nomanyano kangangokuba kwakunzima ukuqonda imigca embalwa yokwahlula, ukuze kungabikho.

Umahluko ubonakala kuphela kubungakanani bazo… Umlilo ebeziphila ngawo kwaye zingene ngaphakathi wabanika yonke intshukumo encinci eyathi bonke banxibelelana ngaphandle kokushiya indawo yabo. Yabo

umbala wawungathi lilanga elihle xa litshona ngexesha elibandayo, idiski yalo ebonakala inkulu yaye ivutha ngakumbi kunokuba yayinjalo ebudeni bemini. Ngoko sithi luqikelelo lwesaqhwithi….. I

Ndiphinde ndaqaphela ukuba lo mjikelo ukhazimlayo ujikelezwe sisazinge esiluhlaza sasezulwini, sitsala kancinci komfusa, kunye nobubanzi be-intshi elungileyo….

Wonke umntu wayelele endlwini, kwaye indlu yonke, ngaphandle kwale ndawo, yayizaliswe bubumnyama obumnyama. Kwafika engqondweni yam ukuba inokuba ngumlilo okwiziko lethu, onokuthi ngokuhlwa ugqunywe luthuthu kakubi, nangona.

ibingeyiyo indawo yeziko; ndatsho ndisosula ndaphakama ndingeva noloyiko oluncinci. Ndisondela kule ndawo, ibingeyiyo eyeziko; Ndiyiqwalasela ngenyameko le nto ingaqhelekanga endingayiqondi kwanto ngayo. Ndaya kukhangela umlilo weziko, apho ndeva ubushushu bawo… Ndabuyela kwinto yokuqala, eyayihlala ihleli phakathi endlwini…. Ukufuna ukwazi kwandikhokelela ekubeni ndifune ukuyiphatha kaninzi ngencam yomnwe; Khange nditshiswe yiyo, khange ndive zintlungu, ibingumbala wesangqa esikhanyayo qha ibiqatywa esandleni sam, ndithe xa ndisondela kuyo, ndeva ngaphakathi ilizwi lisithi kum: Ungandichukumisi .. Eli lizwi landenza ndaqonda ukuba ngenye imini ndakwazi ukuba lo mbono uthetha ukuthini…. Ndabuyela ebhedini ndalala yonke into yanyamalala.... Ndaziva ndingoyiki okanye ndinqwenela ukuxelela nabani na, ukuba

ngendlela yokuba yonke into ihlale apho, de uJ.-C. wandicacisela yonke into….

Lo mbonakaliso, undixelele mva nje, umele kuwe ngoko ubume beCawa yam, njengoko ndikubonisa yona ngoku, oko kukuthi, kwimeko ekuya kuba kuyo ekupheleni kweenkulungwane nakwixesha elizayo. ixesha lokugqibela lexesha layo. Kukukhanya kwam okukhanya phakathi kobumnyama kwaye ubumnyama bungaqondi  .

Oku kungqukuva owakubonayo ebumnyameni bendlu, kwaphawula indawo eya kuhlala kuyo phakathi kwezizwe ezingcolileyo nezingakholwayo. Yahlulwe ebumnyameni babo kuphela ngesiphumo sokhuseleko lwam olukhethekileyo, olumelwe sisangqa sesibhakabhaka esisijikelezileyo. Amalahle avuthayo ahambelanayo, awazalisa  indawo ekhanyayo, atyumba abalungiseleli kunye nabathembekileyo bokwenene iBandla labo  liya kuba.

emva koko yaqulunqwa; Umahluko ngesiqu wawuphawula umahluko weendawo kunye nokufaneleka, kwaye ngaphezu kwako konke ngamaqondo kwimiba yothando nezimilo; zabo

umanyano, umanyano lwabazalwana oluya kulawula phakathi kwabo kwaye lufanele lube sele lulawula

phakathi kwawo onke amaKristu. Inzondelelo eyabavuselelayo yabonisa ukuba le miphefumlo ingcwele, ngaloo ndlela iphoswe ezikweni lothando lobuthixo, ayisayi kuba ngumlilo kwaye ibe luthando kuphela... Ewe, kwakhona, naku ukukhanya kwam: oku kukhanya kuye ebumnyameni; kwaye ubumnyama abuzange buqonde ....

Ndizakuphinda, Bawo, ndikuxelele into eyenzeke kum kwiCawe ephelileyo, kwangelo xesha. UJ.-C. wabonakala kum ekwimo yomntu kwaye ngokuphawuleka kakhulu ngexesha lokubulela kwam, emva komthendeleko wam. Wayeme kufuphi neTafile eNgcwele: Ndambona esolula ingalo yakhe yasekunene ngoxa endijongile, ngokungathi undibonisa into ethile ngencam yomnwe wakhe.

Andizange ndiyibone le nto wayendixelela yona, kwaye ndandingayazi eyona nto wayezama  ukundixelela yona. Wasuka wandijonga, wema kwanjengoko... Nkosi yam, Thixo wam, ufuna ukuthetha ntoni na kum, ndive, ndabuza kuye ? wanyamalala ... ndahlala ndingazi kwaye ndingabuzanga okunye… Kwenye imeko wandibonisa iBandla lakhe  wathi kum:

(356-360)

Lowo ungcwele makaqhubeke ezingcwalisa, athi, lowo uhlambulukileyo azenze nyulu, azenze nyulu; kuba ixesha lifutshane... Uyakubona, mntwana wam, ngowuphi wokugqibela (iimbandezelo) endiza kulungisa iBandla lam ukuba livele phambi kwam kumgwebo wam wokugqibela.

Iimbandezelo zangaphakathi zeCawa.

Ngephanyazo, Bawo, ndabona iintlungu ezibuhlungu eziye zafikelela kubo bonke abefundisi nabantwana beBandla, intlungu eyayinobuzaza ngakumbi kubo kunendlala nonxano, inkxwaleko nazo zonke iintshutshiso zikaSathana nezakwaSirayeli.

umchasi-Kristu… Yayikuhluthwa intuthuzelo nengqiqo. Ndabona ukuba uThixo ulususile kubo lonke uncedo oluvela ezulwini.... Azisancedi ngokubonakalayo zingelosi, azisaweva amazwi athuthuzelayo abaprofeti. Abasaqinisekiswa lubabalo olunengqiqo; nabalungiseleli babo ngokwabo, bengasenakukwazi ukuba balindele ntoni na kwizithembiso abangaziboni zizaliseka, baphantse bahendelwe ukuba baphulukane.

nangona kunjalo, abayeki ukubavuselela ukuba babe nomonde. Uya kuza ngokungenasiphoso, bayaphinda kubo, kodwa kufuneka silinde ixesha lethu ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa yinkalipho. Isibhakabhaka sifuna ukusivavanya kude kube sekupheleni, sibe nexesha

ukwandisa amandla ethu. Masiyiphinde inzondelelo yethu, inzondelelo yethu kunye nenguquko: masimcele ngenzondelelo enkulu ukuba ubukumkani bakhe bufike…. Bawo, uThixo undazisile, ukuba umelwe kukuthi abafumane ekulameni…..kuba baya kuthi ngelo xesha bachukumise umgwebo wakhe ngeminwe yabo; yiloo nto ke athanda ukuba ndivakalise ngokwengqondo esinayo

ethethile, kunye nomoya onzima onike ukubaluleka okukhulu kwinto awayeyibhengeza...

Intlungu yakhe yothando.

Kodwa, Bawo, esi sisiqalo okanye inxalenye yeentlungu zangaphakathi zeCawa. UJ.-C. undenza ndibone indlela avuya ngayo ekubulaleleni lo mfazi ungcwele ulusizi noxhwalekileyo: usela iidrafti ezinde kwindebe ekrakra yePassion engcwele; uthanda ukumhluthisa ngenkxwaleko nangengxakeko emenza adanduluke athi: Umphefumlo wam ulusizi, kude kuse ekufeni…. Ndiyasibona isizathu sokuphanziswa kwakhe: yinceba yobuthixo imtola kuye zonke iintolo zayo, imtolela kuye zonke iintolo zayo ezinomlilo. Njengesitena esisezikweni lomlilo, onke amandla omphefumlo wakhe atshiswa, oma; uwela kubuthathaka obufayo kunye nobuthathaka, kwaye uzibone ethotywe kwintlungu edabukisayo. Ekuphakameni kweentlungu neentlungu zangaphakathi uyadanduluka: Owu nonke nina nidlulayo! Khangelani nibone, ukuba khe kwakho na intlungu enjengam na? Ndingathanda noko ukwazi

iyure yokufika kwakhe, emva koko ndiye ndancwina ixesha elide!  Owu, nina nonke, iintliziyo ezinomdla kwizinto ezitsala umtsalane wakhe, thatha inxaxheba kwintlungu yam  !….

Yintoni ebuhlungu ngakumbi kuye luhlobo lokungaqiniseki apho wamshiya khona, ukuba

ufanelwe luthando lwakhe okanye ukuthiywa; kunqabile ukuba wazi ukuba akamlahlanga na, kwaye ngathi uyala kwintiyo yakhe.

Uloyiko, ingcamango yokwahlukana nayo okwexeshana, ubude bayo obungasikelwanga mda bubonakala kuye njengephakade, ngogonyamelo lothando lwakhe, kuye ikrele lentlungu elimhlabayo lize likrazule izibilini zakhe. ; njengokuba umkhonto obulalayo wahlaba intliziyo yeqabane lakhe lobuthixo emnqamlezweni, uphawu lokufana oluthi uthando lobuthixo lutsale kuyo owona mbhalo ugqibeleleyo wenjongo yalo yobungcwele. Thixo wam! Thixo wam! unam

Úshiyiwe, udanduluka ebukrakra bobubi bakhe! Ah! Mhlobo wam

Uyintoni na kum, myeni, ndiyintoni na kuwe? Nceda, susa ukuxhalaba kwam kunye nezilumkiso zam; kwaye, ukuba kunokwenzeka,

susa phambi kwam ukubona indebe endingenakuyithwala! Kodwa ndithini, Bawo! Ah! makwenziwe ukuthanda kwakho okungcwele, kungabi kweyam; Ndithobela kude kube ngumphefumlo wokugqibela! Ndiyifanele kakhulu imiphumo yobungqongqo bakho, kwaye ndifuna ukunyamezela ngendlela kunye nexesha elide njengoko uthanda ....

Uyathetha ke esi sithandwa sineenyembezi, sanelisekile likamva elimongamelayo…. Kodwa kungekudala intliziyo yakhe yayingasenakwanela ngenxa yokutshiseka kwayo, yena

ubhekisa kwiintombi zaseZiyon; Ndifuna ukuthi kwimiphefumlo esikelelekileyo yeYerusalem yasezulwini, yazi iindaba. Khawundixelele, liphi na ikhaya lentanda yam? Ndifundise kuyo yonke loo nto

uyichukumise, kwaye ukuba uyibonile ndaweni ithile; ndixelele apho waya khona, ukuze ndilandele ekhondweni lakhe; ngokuba ndilangazelela ukumthanda… ndizimisele ukwenza konke ukuba ndimfumane naphi na apho akhoyo… ndiya kudlula emasangweni omzi; Ndiya kubuza abalindi, ngaba awuzange uyibone intanda yam, into endiyithandayo yokuncwina kwam kunye neminqweno yam? Ndiya kubaleka ezilalini, kwaye andiyi kuziphumza de ndiyifumane le nto ithandwa yintliziyo yam kwaye emva koko ndincwina ixesha elide; ndade ndabona ubuso bakhe obunobubele kwaye ndeva

isandi esimnandi selizwi lakhe...

Ngubani onokuyikholelwa, Bawo! lo mfazi ulitshijolo ufuna kude indoda esondele kuye. Ngelixa

(361-365)

ukuba abaleke aze ambize, nguye omkhokelayo ngesandla, okanye kanye embamba ngezandla zakhe… Nguye owenza kuye oku kuncwina kunye nale minqweno ishushu: ekugqibeleni uyamphendula, kwaye uyamazi ngaye. ilizwi elimenza aqale. Hayi indlela olumnandi ngayo kum uthando lwakho!

ntliziyo, umhle kakhulu emehlweni am.. .

Ke, Bawo, olunjani lona uvuyo, olunjani lona uvuyo!… Ndiyabona ukuba uthando lukaThixo lukhulula kwaye lugqibe zonke iimpawu zalo, intliziyo yomtshakazi ongcwele ingenakukwanela ngenxa yayo…. Ah! wathi, myeni wam endimthandayo, andisakwazi ukunyamezela…. Ndiyasilela... Intliziyo yam iyaphela kukukuthanda! Iyatsha

umnqweno wokumanyana nawe, kwaye ube nawe ngaphandle koloyiko lokuphulukana nawe! Ndixolele ukuthetha kwam, Bawo, akukho nto ingcolileyo kwiimbono zam, ndiyakuqinisekisa. Mandingashiyi nantoni na uThixo andenza ndiyibone ukuba ibhaliwe…. Yeha kulowo uthi, ngokuchasene namacebo kaThixo, afumane ithuba lokuphoxa kumzekeliso opheleleyo womoya, ongowokwakhiwa kwakhe kuphela…. Ke ngoko ndibona ngalo mzuzu uMlingane oNgcwele kunye

iqabane elingcwele ekuwolweni nasekuxwilweni olona thando luthambileyo noludlamkileyo... Kufana nomanyano olugqibeleleyo... Kodwa ayisakwazi ukwanela, intliziyo yeqabane elingcwele iyanikezela phantsi kwemigudu yothando lobuthixo... imenza yithi, njengaku-J.-C. emnqamlezweni: yonke into injalo

kugqitywe… Thixo wam!… Ntanda yam, intliziyo yam, evuyiswa bubuhle bakho, yaphela…. Ndibeka umphefumlo wam ezandleni zakho...

Ke, Bawo, ndimbona ephelelwa lixesha……. Kodwa ndithini! akafi, kwaye njengo-J.-C. emnqamlezweni uva inzondelelo yakhe ephindwe kabini. Yi

Njengoko ephefumla eyona nto iphilayo kwaye ishushu kakhulu incwina kwiqabane lakhe lobuthixo, de kube ngumzuzu xa ndimbona elele esifubeni sakhe naphakathi kweengalo zakhe. okanye ndimvusa ngokwam (1)…..

(1) Emva kokuba lo dade endixelele into ebesisandul’ ukuyibona echaphazela uthando lwamaqabane amabini angaqondakaliyo, ndambuza enoba akazange ayibone na incwadi yeCanticles; wandiphendula wathi: “Bawo, ndiyazi, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, ukuba kukho  incwadi yeZibhalo Ezingcwele ebizwa ngokuba yiNgoma yazo iiNgoma; kodwa yiloo nto kuphela endiyaziyo ngayo: Andizange ndiyifunde, qiniseka ngayo. Kananjalo niyazi ukuba andithethi ngesiBhalo, nditsho ndingokancinane  ngokwazi komntu.

Konke endikuxelele kona kuchaphazela ubuphakathi beBandla ngokusingisele kuJ.-C.; Ndiyibone mva nje ngendlela ebendisandula ukuyibuyisela kuwe…. Kodwa, Bawo, ndayibona kuThixo, kwaye ngendlela eyomoya kwaye engokobuthixo, ukuba ingaphezulu ngokungenasiphelo ngaphezu kweemvakalelo kunye nendalo, engenanxaxheba kuyo; ngoko ke, Bawo, ukuba kuko konke endikubonileyo ndingabonanga  nencinane

ingcinga engalunganga ...

Le meko ke intsha yeqabane imele, Bawo, imeko yabantwana beCawe kunye nabefundisi bayo, esithe sabona iimbandezelo zangaphakathi nangaphandle. Iintsizi nentshabalalo, iinkxwaleko noloyiko zezona zilingo zabo zinzima; baziintolo eziluthando oluhlala lungxwelerha iintliziyo zabo kwaye lubakhokelela kweyona ntlungu ibuhlungu, apho nangona kunjalo uthando lubenza bafumane ulonwabo lokwenyani……. Ndive bethetha bodwa besithi: yho! asazi

yazini ukuba iNkosi iya kuza nini na; Hayi indlela ekruqulayo ngayo! Mingaphi iminyaka engakumbi esimele singcungcutheke ngayo kule meko ilusizi! Ngaba asinakuze siyibone imini yoloyiso nolawulo lwakhe olungunaphakade?……. Kuya kuthi ngelo xesha, itsho iNkosi, ukuba balichukumise ngomnwe wabo baze ekugqibeleni babone ukuphela kwehlabathi, umgwebo walo wokugqibela nokufika okukhulu kwalowo bakudala bemlangazelela. . . .

Ukufa kweBandla kunye nabo bonke abanye abantu.

Ndibona abafundisi abahlanganisana emaBandleni, kunye nabo bonke abantu, ukuze babhiyozele iimfihlelo ezingcwele apho, njengoko bebesoloko besenza, kodwa bengazi ukuba ilapha, okokugqibela, ukuba baya kuze babekho.

ibhiyozelwa……. Banikela uMthendeleko kubo bonke abantu abathembekileyo. Ke, Bawo, kulapho oku kuhlangana kuthambileyo kwenzeka, olu manyano lungaqondakaliyo lwendoda nomfazi, oluxhwilo ……. le mincili,

ezi zithutha zolona thando luthambileyo nolona ludlamkileyo…… Ekugqibeleni, bengasakwazi ukuxhasa umzamo wothando lobuthixo, bayanikezela kulo, kwaye ndibabona bephela ngokuthe ngcembe ekwangeni kweNkosi, njengomntwana othambileyo olala ngoxolo. ebeleni ebemthwele...

Oku kukufa okuxabisekileyo kwabo bonke abantwana bakaThixo kunye neBandla lakhe. Nabanye abantwana babantu bafa kwangaxeshanye, bonke abaphilayo bathwaxwa kukubhubha...Masiphumle nathi Bawo wethu ngexesha lokuzola kwezidalwa ezidaliweyo emhlabeni wonke, silindele ukuba sithethe ngokuvuka jikelele okumele. khanyisela umbono omangalisayo wendlela entsha yezinto. Into uThixo andenza ndiyibone kufuneka igxininise ingqalelo yaso sonke isidalwa esinengqondo…….

Ngomso, ukuba unqwenela, siza kuzoba umfanekiso oyoyikisayo. Ngamana ingenza ezingqondweni zaboni abaqaqadekileyo imbonakalo eluncedo kakhulu,

ngokwezicwangciso zalowo undiphefumlelayo ekuthandeni kwabo!…

UMGWEBO NGOKUBANZI.

§. I.

Ukuhlaziywa kweZulu noMhlaba zihlanjululwe ngomlilo  .

“Egameni loYise, neloNyana, neloMoya oyiNgcwele; ngoYesu noMariya, nangegama loyena Bathathu Emnye Ungcwele, ndiyathobela…..”

Thixo wam, Bawo, yintoni embi esiza kuyiqala namhlanje umiselo olunikwe zonke izidalwa ukuze kuphunyezwe amadinga nazo zonke izoyikiso; ixesha elimiselwe ilungisa nomoni; imbonakalo elusizi yemiboniso emininzi namayelenqe amaninzi; imini yeNkosi xa inyaniso kufuneka ekugqibeleni yoyise abaninzi

iimpazamo, kwaye apho yonke into kufuneka ibuyele kucwangco; intlekele yokugqibela yendalo iphela; masithethe ilizwi, isiphelo sehlabathi, umgwebo

Ihlabathi liphela kunye neemeko zalo ezoyikekayo!... Mna, Bawo, ndoyika kwangethuba ngenxa yoko, ngokokude ndifune umyalelo ovela kuThixo wokuba andinyanzele ukuba ndithethe nawe ngako …… Uloyiko olu lundiphembelelayo ndilufumene kancinci. isibindi sokuzoba lo mboniso umbi kuwe, kwaye andazi ukuba ndizakuba nawo na amandla

yiqhube……. Kodwa ndiya kuthobela, Bawo, kwaye ndiya kuphinda ndikuphindaphinde ngokungcangcazela oko uThixo andibonise kona ukuze uyibhale… Masizame ukulandela ukukhanya okundikhanyiselayo nokundikhokelayo….

Emva kokufa kwaso sonke isidalwa esiphilayo, esibizwa ngokuba sisiphelo sehlabathi, ndeva ingxolo ebhidekileyo, isikhalazo sehlabathi lonke esivela kuzo zonke izidalwa ezingaphiliyo, ngasinye sazo sathatha, ngalo mzuzu, ulwimi olucikizekileyo noloyikekayo. Yayisisikhalo sendalo. Ilanga, lakuba mnyama, laba mnyama, lathi kuMdali walo, Nkosi enguMongami, kususela koko wandirhola ekuphunyezweni kwakho, andiyekanga ukwenza iziyalezo zakho, ukuba ndikhanyise elimiweyo ngokukhanya kwam. ngokufudumala kwam okuphilisayo; kodwa umbulelo onjani amadoda akubonise wona ngeenzuzo ezininzi kangaka ezize kubo ngeendlela zam?… Abanombulelo!…. basiphethe kakubi isikhanyiso sam; bayosulele imisebe yam ngokwenza ubugwenxa phambi kwam naphambi kobuso bam

!…. Ndiyakucela impindezelo, ubulungisa kunye nempindezelo, Nkosi, ngenxa yezinto ezininzi ezicaphukisayo abakwenzele zona ngesihlandlo sam, kwaye ndicela ukuba ndihlanjululwe kwizinto ezininzi ezingcolileyo abaye bangcolisa ngazo ukucoceka kwamehlo am ....

Idlamkile ngakumbi, kunye nokudakumba ebunzi, inyanga icela ubulungisa nempindezelo ngenxa yolwaphulo-mthetho olulihlazo abantu abaluphathise imitha yayo, befuna ukuyigubungela phantsi kwethunzi lobusuku ukuze ibafihle ekukhanyeni kwemini. Zonke iinkwenkwezi zicela ukuhlanjululwa kulwaphulo-mthetho oluthe lwenziwa amangqina ngalo, ngohlobo lokuzibandakanya;… bawungcolisile, bawungcolisa umboniso; Ndabancedisa njengeleli yaye ndibanika yonke into eyimfuneko ebomini babo; kwaye, ngako konke ukuqondwa, bandosulele, bandidelela kwaye bandixhaphaza ngandlela zonke. Ulwandle, umlilo nomoya, nazo zonke izinto, imithi, izityalo, izilwanyana ezahlukeneyo,

izulu ngokuchasene naboni; yonke into idibana ukuze imngcikive ngeenkonzo azifumeneyo kunye nokuxhatshazwa akwenzileyo kuzo, ukungabi nombulelo kwakhe kwiingenelo zakhe.

Mdali…. Yonke into ekugqibeleni icela ukuba ihlanjululwe kwakhona, kwaye yonke indalo ifuna ukulungiswa, ukuvuselelwa, kwaye njengento entsha

ubukho obumkhulula ngonaphakade ebukhobokeni obabumenze wakhonza amampunge neenkanuko zabantu….

Kwaoko ndeva ilizwi elinamandla lisithi: Ewe, eli lixesha endiya kuzenza ntsha zonke izinto….. Ndiya kwenza amazulu amatsha nomhlaba  omtsha…. kwaye kuya kwenziwa ngephanyazo. Umlilo omangalisayo oqala esibhakabhakeni uze unwenwele emoyeni, wehlela emhlabeni, apho, ngomzuzu nje, utshise yonke into, watshabalalisa yonke into, wahlambulula yonke into, akwabikho nomkhondo wobunqambi oseleyo. Ngaloo ndlela kuya kwenziwa ngomlilo olu sulungekiso lukhulu, olu lungiso luncomekayo lweziqalelo kunye nendalo iphela, apho kuya kubakho umhlaba omtsha namazulu amatsha  .

§. II.

Ukuphela Kwentlambululo-miphefumlo. Ukwanda kweembandezelo zemiphefumlo kwiminyaka embalwa ngaphambi kokukhululwa kwayo.

Kulo mboniso mkhulu, Bawo, uThixo wenza ukuba omnye aphumelele, nto leyo engabangeli ngaphantsi kokwawo, okanye ukulungiselela idenouee enkulu; Ndithetha umbono andinike wona wendawo yentlambululo-miphefumlo sele iza kuphela….

Ke ndibona apha, Bawo, inkitha engenakubalwa yemiphefumlo

(371-375)

kumadangatye aqwengayo, nokuba umnqweno wokubona nokuba nezinto abazithandayo ubenza babandezeleke ngakumbi. Bonke babandezeleka kakhulu emlilweni, kodwa kungekhona ngokulinganayo. Ndibona abanye ababandezeleka ngokugqithisileyo kangangokuba iintlungu zabo zingalingana nezo zabo bagwetyiweyo, ukuba thina ngaphandle kokuphelelwa lithemba naphakade... iintlungu zabo. Kuyavela

kunjalo, kwaye le yeyona ntlungu inkulu yentlambululo-miphefumlo, abangaziyo, ukuba

thetha kakuhle, apho bakhoyo, kwaye ngoobani na abangaqinisekanga ngekamva labo; abathandabuzayo, ngandlel’ ithile, ukuba uThixo uye wabenzela inceba, nokuba baya kuze babe nolonwabo lokuyibona nokuba nayo. Kodwa abakhumbuli ukuba wabaqalekisa; kwaye, kule ngcinga eyenza lonke ithemba labo  kunye

intuthuzelo yabo, bayamsikelela baze bayeke ukwenza ukuthanda kwakhe…. Lo mahluko ubalulekileyo phakathi kwabo kunye nabo bangafanelekanga banele ukuthomalalisa ukungaqiniseki nto leyo ngaphandle kwayo bekuya kwenza intlambululo-miphefumlo yabo ibe luhlobo lwesihogo. Kodwa kuya kuba lula ukuqonda, kwaye ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, ukuba kwahluke kangakanani kwezo  ntuthumbo, kukungamazi kanye ukuba uphi na, okanye ukwazi, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, ukuba umntu usesihogweni;... khumbulani ukugwetywa kwakhe, nokuba kukuphi na ukugwetywa kwakhe  ;

ngaphandle kokukwazi ukubaleka kuyo okomzuzwana. Ilizwe lokuqala liyoyikeka; kodwa elesibini lilodwa lenza isiphelo nesihogo somlahlwa….

Umlilo obatshisayo usebenza ngokuqonda kule miphefumlo ihlwempuzekileyo, kwaye uyohlwaya ngokomlinganiselo weempazamo zabo okanye ngoko ityala labo kubulungisa bobuthixo. Isiqabu sokuqala athe uThixo, ejijekile bubude beentlungu zabo okanye ngamagunya eCawa yakhe, abanika sona, kukususa kubo olu hlobo lokungaqiniseki olubashiye bekwimeko embi ngolo hlobo. Bandula ke bakhumbule ngokucacileyo ukuba abacekiswanga; nokokuba bamiselwe ukumbona, bamdle uThixo. Owu inkumbulo ethuthuzelayo! babandezeleka kwintlambululo yemiphefumlo ngokurhoxa ngakumbi nothando…

Ndibona inkitha engenakubalwa yabo ebakho ngenxa yeziphoso ezingephi, ezinje ngamazwi angasebenziyo, ukuzifica ngeengcinga ezingenamsebenzi, ukubuya kokuzithemba okulungileyo, iziphazamiso zokuzithandela emthandazweni, intlebendwane, iimvakalelo, ukukhawuleza, ukuphila. ngokuphikisana, ukungabikho kwenkxaso kwiimpazamo zabanye; abanye, uya kukholwa, bawo, ngenxa yokungafezeki nje, umzekelo, ngenxa yokungabi nayo

kuhambelana nobabalo nokuthembeka okwaneleyo okanye ngokupheleleyo uThixo athandileyo; ngenxa yokungafikeleli kuThixo ngamandla aneleyo kwaye

ukuzingisa; engamkhonzanga ngokwaneleyo nothando; engabangcwele, njengoko abebacelile ngako, ngokomlinganiselo wobabalo, awabaphayo ngalo... Yonke into kufuneka idlule emlilweni, yonke into kufuneka ihlanjululwe kwindawo yentlambululo-miphefumlo; yaye ukuze bagwebe kakuhle oko kubizwa ngokuba ziiziphoso ezincinane, nokuyazi kakuhle intiyo uThixo anayo ngabo, bekuya kuba yimfuneko ukukubona nokuvakalelwa ngendlela engqongqo abohlwaya ngayo nakubahlobo bakhe, nokuba ungqale kangakanani na. yonakalisa kwanoyena mncinane kubo, kungabikho kubonakale emehlweni akhe ibala lesono, abuhlambele ubunyulu bobuso bakhe, nobungcwele bendlu yakhe;

Ukufumana intlambululo yothando kunentsingiselo… Kuya kufuneka uthande njengabo, ukuqonde ubukhali bayo…

UThixo undenza ndibone ukuba, iminyaka eliqela phambi komgwebo, iintlungu zeNtlambululo-miphefumlo ziya kwandiswa kumphefumlo ngamnye, ngokomlinganiselo njengoko uya kuba namatyala amaninzi okuhlawula: kuba ndiyabona ukuba ngonyaka omnye, uThixo, ukuba uthanda, unako. wenze umphefumlo ubandezeleke ngaphezu kweminyaka elikhulu.

Ndiva iingelosi zivakalisa kubo ukuba babandezeleka ngenkohlakalo kuphela ngenxa yokuba umgwebo usondela, kwaye uThixo uyakwandisa ukubandezeleka kwabo ngokungqongqo kuphela ngenxa yokuba efuna ukubanciphisa ixesha elide .... Kwakhona ndiyabona ukuba xa uJ.-C. elungele ukunika umqondiso wovuko olukhulu, iingelosi

uya ukuya Purgatory ukurhoxa kuyo yonke imiphefumlo ehlambulukileyo, abaya kuzisa  kunye nabo babantwana beCawa iphelelwe ngokwanga kweNkosi, njengoko sibonile mva nje, kwaye imizimba yabo iya kugadwa yimimoya esikelelekileyo.

§. III.

Uvuko jikelele lwabalungileyo nababi.

Isibhakabhaka sahlaziyeka kwindalo yaso, sathi gqi ngeenkwenkwezi zonke;

iya kubonisa ilanga neenkwenkwezi zezinto ezibonakala zisemoyeni, kunye nokucaca okupholileyo okungasoze kwasithwa, kwaye oko kugqwesa ngokungenasiphelo konke oko isibhakabhaka esibonakalayo ngoku esinako okuncomekayo… ube nakho konke ukucaca kweyona kristale intle, ngaphandle kokuba nobulukhuni. Akukho nto iya kutshatyalaliswa, ngaphandle kwezilwanyana kunye nazo zonke izinto eziyimfuneko ukuze ziphile kwimeko yangoku yezinto. Yonke into iya kuhlaziywa,

(376-380)

ngaphandle kwemizimba yabo bangenakucikideka, eya kuguqulwa ibe mbi, naba imeko yabo iya kuba lusizi ngokuphindwe kaliwaka, nesiphelo sabo sibe sibi ngokuphindwe kaliwaka kunangaphambili….

Ndithi, Bawo, ngaphandle kokuba izilwanyana aziyi kutshabalala, kwaye

oku kufuneka kuqondwe malunga nento, eya kuhlala ifana ngokufanayo  ; kodwa umlilo uya kutshabalalisa, ngokuhlaziya, konke oko konakalisayo apho. Ngapha koko, ndiyabona ukuba uThixo uya kuzigcina zonke izinto azenzileyo.  Ezi zi

Izidalwa eziphuma ezandleni zakhe kwaye anqwenela ukuzuza kuzo uzuko lwakhe ngonaphakade. Ngonaphakade, kangangoko baya kukwazi, kuya kudunyiswa kwaye kubulelwe; uya kubanika zonke iintsikelelo ezintsha. Ngamnye kubo, ekusondeleni koMdali wawo, uya kutsiba ngovuyo, njengemvana ecaleni

umama wakhe. Umhlaba uya kugutyungelwa ziintyatyambo nemithi engonakaliyo mhlawumbi eya kukhonza izidalwa ezimbalwa ezimiselwe ukuphinda zihlale kuwo. Ngaphandle kokundixelela ngakumbi ngale ngongoma namhlanje, uThixo undenze ndabona kwangaphambili ukuba le ndawo yokuhlala intle kwaye inkulu imele ihlalwe ngonaphakade zizidalwa eziya kumzukisa apho ngendlela yazo, kwaye akafuni ukundazisa….

Ndibona iingelosi zisihla emhlabeni ngamanani amakhulu

kunangaphambili; ngokomyalelo weNkosi, ndibabona bethetha ngamaxilongo, besasaza kwiimbombo zone zehlabathi, benikela umqondiso owoyikekayo  wovuko olukhulu lwabafileyo  …….

Bakhalisa amaxilongo abo, kwaye ngalo mzuzu imizimba yabasikelelweyo izifumana ikunyama yabo enye, inezihlunu zabo, imithambo-luvo  , imisipha, amathambo abo kunye nayo yonke into esisiseko  sobomi.

umzimba womntu, kungekho lungu lingekhoyo. Xa babexhatshazwe baba ngamaqhekeza aliwaka; xa uthuthu lwawo luphoswa emoyeni beluya  kwahlulwa ngumhlaba wonke; bakuba befunxwe kwisifuba esikhulu solwandle, bengene enzonzobileni yolwandle, baya kuzifumana bephinda bemanyaniswa ngokungummangaliso kwangaxeshanye, ukuze baphinde baqulunqe imizimba efanayo, eya kuthi ngokubunjwa kwesibini ifumaneke ihlaziyekile, ihlaziywa, ihlanjululwe njengekristale entle. Baya kunikwa zonke iimpawu  ezizukileyo ;

kodwa imiphefumlo yabo ingekabuyeli apho, ndibabona bengashukumi yaye bengaphili. Emva koko ndibona isihlwele esingenakubalwa sezithunywa zezulu ezigadayo zifika, zilandelwa yimiphefumlo ekufuneka ingene kule mizimba iphinde yakhiwe… Olunjani lona uvuyo! enjani yona intuthuzelo! Olunjani lona uloyiso komnye nomnye, ngalo mzuzu xa le miphefumlo izukileyo iya kuthi elowo iwufumane kwaye iwuqonde umzimba wayo, ize ihlangane apho, inikana iwaka leentsikelelo neendumiso eziliwaka!... Ekugqibeleni, ndinifumana kwakhona emva kokungabikho ixesha elide, iqabane elithandekayo lezohlwayo zam kunye nokusebenza kwam, uya kuthi lo mphefumlo unethamsanqa! Ndikufumene emva kwexesha elide kangaka ungekho! Ah! Hayi indlela ekuya kuba mnandi ngayo kum ukuba ndingaze ndikushiye kwakhona, kuba awuzange ubonakale umhle, uthandeka, kwaye uthandeka kakhulu kum! kufanelekile

!… Ndixolele, mzimba wam, ukuba ndikwenze wabandezeleka kangaka ngesihlangu; kodwa kungekudala uza kubona ukuba bendisebenzela ukonwaba. Nabelana ngeentlungu zam, yiza, ngokuba ilungile, yiza uze ungcamle umvuzo ongapheliyo ...

ngandlel' ithile, ukuze ndonwabe ngokugqibeleleyo ngaphandle kokuthatha inxaxheba kwakho!... Yiza ke, uluthwese ulonwabo lwam, ngokungcamla ngokwakho, ngokwabelana nam ngalo!...

Ke, Bawo, uvuko lokwenyani luya kwenzeka, oko kukuthi ukuhlangana kwakhona okukhulu kunye ne-hypostatic, apho le mizimba isikelelekileyo iya kwenzeka.

baya kubuya babe ngabantu abaphilayo nabaphilileyo kwiindawo zonke…. Ndibabona bephakama bema ngeenyawo, bekhazimla okweenkwenkwezi ezininzi eziqaqambileyo, bonke besebutsha obuchumileyo, nanjengakwiminyaka xa uJ.

umhlaba… UThixo, ebonelela ngamandla akhe iingozi neziphene zendalo, asisayi kuphinda sibone kuzo nokuba buthathaka okanye ukungafezeki kulo naliphi na icala. Ubungakanani buya kufana kubo bonke, kunye nokwakhiwa; kodwa izithsaba kunye neempawu ezizukileyo ziya kwahluka, ngokomahluko weemfanelo ...

Le mizimba, ngaloo ndlela ivuselelwe ngokungummangaliso, iya kuxelisa, ngandlel’ ithile, iimpawu ezizukileyo zomzimba kaJ. Iya kuba kwaezo mpawu zifanayo eziya kubonakala kubo, kwaye uvuko lwabo luya kuba kukuphuma kwakhe kuphela….. Nokuba baqaqambe kangakanani na bebodwa, hayi indlela abangabi nangakumbi ngayo ngokumanyana kwabo nemiphefumlo yabo!

Bayonwabela ukusukela ngalo mzuzu ubomi obutsha abangazange babenabo

baziva, nangona amaxesha amaninzi befumene umgaqo nesibambiso sawo ekuthatheni inxaxheba kumzimba wentloko yabamiselwe kwangaphambili. Bakhukulise umsinga wovuyo; lunwenwela kuzo zonke iimvakalelo zabo zangaphakathi nezingaphandle, nto leyo ebangela ukuba babe neemvakalelo ezikhethekileyo kuye ngamnye wabo ngokukodwa, ukuze ngokwenene bube bubuntu bobuthixo. Baya kuba nomnqweno kunye nokuphefumla, ivumba elimnandi, kwaye emlonyeni ulwaneliseko oluncomekayo oluveliswa

(381-385)

amathe amnandi kwaye anesondlo; ijusi, eyona nto imnandi kunye neyona nto ingenakunqunyulwa, iya kuqukuqela emithanjeni nasezithunjini zabo, ukugcina apho ngokungapheliyo umgaqo wobomi kunye nokungafi. Akayi kuphosa naliphi na ilungu, naliphi na kumalungu ayimfuneko ukuze kugcinwe ingqibelelo yomzimba womntu. UThixo akakucekisi oko akugcine ngabom...

Ndibona oomoya basezulwini besahlula babe ngamaqela amathathu abasikelelekileyo asele bebahlulile kwabakhohlakeleyo. Imiphefumlo ehlambulukileyo eyalandela imvana ngokusondeleyo emhlabeni, iya kusaba kuqala, kwaye iya kuxwilwa kuqala.

phezulu emoyeni; baya kuthelela intendelezo yasezulwini ukupheleka uloyiso lokumkani wozuko baze behle naye…. Ibhande lesibini liya kufakwa esibhakabhakeni, liya kugcwalisa umoya ukuze lihombise indlela yalo kunye nokuhamba kwayo okuqhayisayo, kwindawo apho kufuneka imise khona. Ihlanganiswe neentlobo ezahlukeneyo

Ikwayara yezithunywa zezulu, siya kubabona aba basikelelweyo bemililwe ngolungelelwano, bekhaphe indlela yaye bemisa apho kuzuko lwabo olungenasiphelo induli yoloyiso neyona ndebe iqaqambileyo, becula uloyiso lwabo lumangalisayo, yaye besenza yonke into ivakale ngeyona mvumo ivisisanayo nethandeka ngakumbi. …..

Isahlulo sesithathu sabasikelelweyo siya kuhlala emhlabeni ukuze silinde ukuza kwakhe, nexhala elixutywe nohlobo loloyiko, oluya kuthi esi sixhobo sikhulu nokubaluleka kwesiganeko esisilungiselelayo siphembelele kubo; baya kuphakamisa iintloko zabo, bakhangele kuloo ndawo aya kufika kuyo;

ebonisa owona mdla mkhulu kulo mba…. Isikhundla esimangalisa kakhulu, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, Bawo, ulindelo olunika umdla kakhulu, kunye nomboniso okwaziyo  ukuchukumisa lonke uluntu, yonke inzala ka-Adam! Yiyiphi indoda enokuhlala ingakhathali ekupheleni kweso siganeko, ukuba  ibonakalisa

ngononophelo ukuba akunakuphepheka ukuba abe lapho!….

Onjani wona umboniso woyikekayo, Bawo, ugcina amehlo am esoyika kwaye ephazamisa uvuyo lwentliziyo yam! Eziphi izilo ezimanyumnyezi!…. Zizo ezi izidumbu zabangenakucikideka abagutyungelwe yiyo umhlaba  ...izinto ezinganyamezelekiyo emehlweni;  I

nibabone kuqala bengashukumi, njengakwabangcwele; kodwa qaphelani, ngomqondiso onikiweyo, isihogo siyayihlanza imiphefumlo yabo engcolileyo, kunye needemoni ezibarhuqelayo ukuba babahlanganise apho…. Ndithi isihogo siyabahlanza, ukuphawula ubundlobongela obenzeka kubo ubulungisa bukaThixo, ngokubanyanzela ukuba bavele emgwebeni wabo, kungabikho namnye osalayo ongaziswanga apho.

umzimba….

Le miphefumlo inelishwa ke ngoko iya kunyanzeleka ukuba ibuyele kwezi

Inyama efileyo eyoyikekayo neyoyikekayo, eya kuthi, kwangoko, izive njengazo zonke iintuthumbo  zesihogo  …; okanye ukuba uthanda ngcono, le  miphefumlo

ngelishwa liya kuba, ngexesha lemizimba yabo ebonakalayo, ihlaselwe, kwaye

njengoko kutyalwe, kungenwe kuzo zonke iintlobo zezifo, izifo, ubulwelwe, iintlungu ezinganyamezelekiyo kuwo onke amalungu alo mzimba ungonwabanga Yongeza koku konke okuya kongeza iintlungu,  umsebenzi

ngomlilo onganyamezelekiyo njengoko  ungenakuqondwa  Ngoko ndiyabona 

ezo zidumbu zoyikekayo, ezi zidumbu zifileyo zilele phantsi; kodwa ukosuleleka kwabo nokonakala kwabo kugxunyekwe kangangokuba umhlaba, obathwala ngokuthandabuza, awungcoliswa nangayiphi na indlela.

Ndibona abagwebi bobulungisa bobuthixo bebalungiselela bonke ngasekhohlo

apho balindele isigwebo sokugqibela ekufuneka silungise ikamva labo ngonaphakade, nesigwebo esiyinyani esiya kuthi kungekudala sigwebe ngonaphakade ubukhali obunobulungisa.

ugwetyiwe…..

§. IV.

J.-C. wehla enobungangamsha ukuze agwebe iHlabathi. Ukubonakaliswa koLwazi.

Niyakhumbula, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, ukuba ndathetha kuni ngomhla wokugqibela wehlabathi, ngokufa kwamalungisa nokwaboni. Kulungile! Bawo, konke endikuxelele kona ukususela ngelo xesha kwenzeke ngentsasa yaloo mini….. Ndibona eNkosini yethu, ukuba xa uKumkani wozuko ebonakala kwaye esihla ukuze enze umgwebo wakhe, uya kuvula isango unaphakade omkhulu; kwaye lo mnyango uya kuvuleka malunga nemini yemini enye, eya kuba yeyokugqibela emhlabeni ... Kuya kuphela ukulandelelana kwamaxesha, ukuguqulwa kweenkulungwane kunye neminyaka ... Asisayi kubala imihla, ubusuku, iinyanga. , okanye

iiveki, namaxesha onyaka Akusayi kubakho yure, imizuzu, namizuzu… Konke oku kuya kubuyela esifubeni solwandlekazi olukhulu; yonke into iya kubizwa ngokuba ngunaphakade!….. ngonaphakade!….. ngonaphakade!…..

UThixo, owathi ngelizwi elinye waliphakamisa ihlabathi ekubeni lilize, sekunjalo wachitha iintsuku ezintandathu esandlala yaye ewugqiba umsebenzi wakhe, ukuze asingqine ukuba ukhululekile kumandla akhe onke, yaye akukho nto inokunyanzela inkululeko yakhe yokuzikhethela. Ngokukwanjalo, Bawo, ndiyabona ukuba nangona uThixo enokuphelisa ihlabathi aze aligwebe ngokuqhwanyaza kweliso, usaya kusebenzisa inkululeko yakhe ekuphumezeni ngokupheleleyo ulungiselelo lwakhe nemimiselo yobulungisa bakhe.

(386-390)

Ngoko ke, ndiyabona ukuba uya kunika le ngxoxo ibalulekileyo ubude obuthile, kodwa iya kunqunyulwa kwixesha elilinganiselwe kakhulu ...

Khangela ke, Bawo, ilixa lalo mgwebo mkhulu woyikekayo!….

Ndibona emoyeni umqondiso oqaqambileyo wentlawulelo yethu, isixhobo

wosindiso lwethu, umnqamlezo woMsindisi, oqhubela phambili…… Olunjani lona uloyiso olumangalisayo

! Ziintshaba zalomnqamlezo, kuya kwenzeka ntoni kuni?…. Ndingathini na ukuwubona?... Ndibona uKumkani wozuko, esondela, enabo bonke ubungangamsha bakhe.

ubungangamsha obuphakamileyo, kwizixhobo ezoyikekayo zamandla akhe... Ndimbona ehleli phezu kwetrone yobulungisa, isiseko sayo esingashukumiyo sihleli phezu kweglowubhu ekhazimlayo, ikwimo yelifu elikhanyayo elikhupha imibane nemibane... Kodwa njengoko ijaji isondela, ndibona ezi ndudumo kunye nemibane isiya ngasekhohlo kwayo ukuze ibethe kuphela kwicala labachasayo. Ndibona inkundla yasezulwini kunye nalo lonke uloyiso lweBandla lujikeleze

etroneni yoKumkani kaKumkani, evuma ezona ngoma zizukileyo kuzuko lwakhe…. Ndibubona ubungangamsha bukaYehova buhla ngokucotha ezulwini, njengoko wenyukayo khona ngomhla wokunyuka kwakhe. Uhleli kwilifu elibengezelayo, okanye kunoko kwingqukuva eqaqambileyo eyenziwe ngenjongo; kuba umhlaba wahlanjululwa kwaye

ihlaziywe, njengoko besesitshilo, ayisayi kuphinda ithumele imiphunga eyenza amafu…..

Ndibona isihlwele sezithunywa zezulu kunye namalungisa asemhlabeni, egubha luvuyo nanemihlali, yaye sele ephuma ngokuthanda kwawo ukuya kumhlangabeza, ethelela kwiikonsathi zabasikelelweyo kwaye esenza isandi saloo mikhalo yovuyo neyovuyo. uloyiso endiluvileyo, awathanda uThixo ukuba ndithethe ngalo kuni. Uzuko kuThixo enyangweni! Hosana kunyana kaDavide!…Makabongwe lowo uzayo egameni leNkosi!…Uzuko, indumiso, isidima, amandla kuThixo wethu nakuyo iMvana ehleli phezu kwetrone … . Kumnandi ukufika!……

Ndibona itrone yomgwebi owongamileyo imi kumashumi amabini okanye amashumi amathathu eenyawo ukusuka emhlabeni, isoloko ijikelezwe yile glowubhu yokukhanya engayi kuyeka ukuphosa kwelinye icala imitha ethambileyo neyonwabisayo, kwaye kwelinye idangatye lempindezelo, de lowo ulahlekileyo waphoswa enzonzobileni....

Embindini wenkundla yasezulwini nakwiBandla elingqonge uKumkani walo, livathiswe ngokulungeleleneyo kungekho nakuphi na ukubhideka, ndibona iitrone ezininzi zinyuka zijikeleze leyo kaJ. behleli khona ngokomyalelo wakhe, eqalele kwabokuqala abapostile, kwesa kwabokugqibela kubabingeleli abalungileyo. Baza kuhlala behleli apho njengenkosi yabo kwaye iya kuba ngabo kuphela abaya kunandipha eli lungelo, ukuba thina ngaphandle kukaMama woMhlawuleli, abathi ngesi sikhundla bonke abanyuliweyo bamqonde uKumkanikazi kunye noMongami wendalo iphela…. Iqela elingenakubalwa labanye abangcwele aliyi kuhlala ngexesha lomgwebo; bonke baya kuma ngenxa yentlonipho ngakum

umntu othandekayo walowo uya kubagweba, nangenxa yegunya alinika abo afuna ukunxulumana nalo mgwebo mkhulu.

Emva koko ndibona umthamo omkhulu okhoyo phambi komgwebi. Itywinelwe macala onke ngamacwecwe egolide angoyiswayo….. Nantsi, watsho umgwebi, imfihlelo yezazela, ebendiyifihle ixesha elide kangaka... Abantu baya kubona baze bazi into abangayaziyo. iimfihlelo zobugwenxa ababengenakuzikrokrela nokuzikrokrela; kuba ngumbuzo wokuthethelela ulungiselelo lwam kunye nokuqinisekisa kuyo yonke iNdawo yonke ubulungisa bezigwebo zam…. Ihlabathi lonke malifunde, ligwebe, ligwebe phakathi kwam nam sisidalwa sam... Ndohamba ndide ndimthabathe umoni, abe ngumlamli wembambano esisahlulayo: ndiya kummisela ngokwalo ityala, mna ndiya kumgweba ngokwalo. bizela kuye ukuba andixelele ukuba andilunganga ngokumgweba ...

Ngala mazwi umgwebi ubeka isandla sakhe kumqulu obulalayo ekubhalwe kuwo  imbali ecekisekayo yazo zonke izenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho ezisehlabathini, ezingakhange zixolelwe ngezohlwayo zokwenene. Uwaqhekeza ngokukhanya amatywina angaqondakaliyo, kwaye phambi kwam umthamo uvulwe emehlweni ezidalwa zonke, ebusweni bezulu nomhlaba; ukuze wonke umntu abone yonke into eya  kubakho

ayizange ingene ezintliziyweni zabangendawo, ephindaphindwayo ngokungathi kusesipilini okanye kumzobo othembekileyo. Siza kubona onke amasikizi, onke awona matyala afihlakeleyo, abaya kuba netyala lawo…. izicamango, iimpindezelo, iimpindezelo, iintswela-bulungisa, izinyeliso, iintswelo-bulungisa, amehlo amanyala, amasikizi, nezikhubekiso; izigculelo ezikhohlakeleyo nezinyelisayo, ukuhleba ngobugwala;

iicalumnies ezikhohlakeleyo, ukungcatshwa kwabantu abamnyama…..; izintiyo ezinkulu, izinyeliso ezoyikekayo….. Yonke into iya kubonwa, ibalwe, igocagocwe, ilinganiswe, ukuze kungabikho nasinye isidalwa ezulwini nasemhlabeni, esingenayo yonke into.

ulwazi, kwaye ngubani na ongabuboniyo bonke ububi, ubumnyama, ubukhulu bomntu ngamnye ngokukodwa, kunye nokoyikeka okukhulu kwesaphuli-mthetho….

(391-395)

Oku kuya kuba kukubonakaliswa kwezazela. Kuya kuthini ke ngoko ngobutyebi obulusizi bokuhanahanisa, ukuphambuka okumnyama kokungabi nabulungisa, iimbonakalo ezikhohlisayo zokholo olubi, noloyiso lobugqwirha bokungahloneli Thixo? Enjani yona impindezelo emangalisayo, Nkosi, oya kutsalwa kuyo ngalo mhla mkhulu!….

Izono abanetyala lazo abangcwele nazo ziya kubonakala, okanye ubuncinane ziya kwaziwa; kodwa njengoko ziya kugutyungelwa zize zicinywe ligazi likaJ.

baya kubonakala kuphela ngenxa yozuko lwabo nokumisa indebe kwinceba yobuthixo eya kubaxolela... Konke ukusulungeka kwenjongo yabo, zonke izibongozo zabo nezipho zabo, yonke eyona misebenzi yabo ifihlakeleyo ilungileyo, onke amadabi abo nxamnye neziqu zabo, ukunyaniseka kubabalo, imibingelelo yabo yemihla ngemihla, uloyiso lwabo rhoqo, nelona lincinane kwi

imbonakalo yomtyholi, ihlabathi, nenyama; konke oku kuya kubonakala, kwaziwe, kubonakale emehlweni elimiweyo liphela; kwaye kunjengoko uThixo eya kuzisa ubulungisa kwabangcwele bakhe, ukuba uya kubaphakamisela ngokuchasene nehlabathi nabangenabuthixo injongo yabahlobo bakhe abo ihlabathi lalibatshutshisa ....

Ndimbona ejikela ngakulo mkhosi woloyiso ubekwe ngasekunene kwakhe, kwaye ewuphosa ngenkangeleko ethambileyo nothando etshisa zonke iintliziyo,

bhekisani la mazwi amnandi nathuthuzelayo: Kungoku, bahlobo bam nabantwana bam abathandekayo, endimele ndikuqonde konke enikwenzileyo naza nabandezeleka ngenxa yam; wena, ngezoguquko nobomi obubethelelweyo, wabelana nawe ngeentlungu, iintlungu kunye nokubulaleka kobomi bam basemhlabeni: kulungile ukuba wabelana ngovuyo kunye nemivuzo yobomi bam obuzukileyo, endiyifaneleyo ngokufa kwam. Undincedile ukuwuthwala umnqamlezo wam, kulungile ukuba uqokelele iimfanelo zawo; uhambe ekhondweni lam

ukuxelisa iimpawu ezintle endikunike umzekelo wazo, kufanelekile ukuba undilandele ebukumkanini obuza kuba sisiphelo solu kuthembeka, kwaye ube naye apho lowo wayengumzekelo owawunqwenela.

. . . njengokuba nasenza uthando lobuKristu egameni lam kubazalwana benu, nabasiza ababandezelekileyo bam, ababehlala phakathi kwam, ababehleli phantsi, nibahlutha, nibahlutha, nibe nibavelela emilwelweni yabo, nasezibhedlele nasezintolongweni; unayo

waxolela ukunyeliswa ngenxa yam; wathanda neentshaba zakho…. Kuxhomekeke kum ngoku ukungqina kuwe ukuba ndithembekile kwizithembiso zam kwaye ndilungile kwabo bathe bandikhonza… Akukho nto undenzele yona iya kulahleka, kwaye ndiya kukuphendula nge-obol kunye neglasi.

ngamanzi abandayo; Ukulunga kuya kuxabisa kakhulu kuwe njengesenzo esilungileyo, kwaye akukho nto iya kuhamba ingavuzwa. Ngexesha lobomi bakho ubuthembekile kwizinto ezimbalwa, kwaye ngenxa yale nto incinci uya kufumana ulonwabo olukhulu kwaye olungenasiphelo.

Ke ngoko, zintanda zam, musani ukoyika; Umgwebo wam oseleyo awusakukhathaleli: qinisekisa - ke ngoko, kwaye ungaphazanyiswa zixhobo zayo ezoyikisayo….

Ngoko ke, uBawo wam, akasakwazi ukumelana nokuhanjiswa kwabo

"Uyikhulule intliziyo yam kwaye wanelisa uthando lwam ngento osanda kuyithetha," uJC wabaxelela; Mamelani ke ngoko, bahlobo bam, kwisisombululo endisiphakamisayo ngesihlandlo sabo, nize nindixelele kwakhona ukuba nicinga ntoni na ngaso: ukuba bekukho indlela eqinisekileyo nokuba kurhoxiswe ezi zidalwa zincinci zihluphekayo kubuzwilakhe bukaSathana, obugqala njenge. ixhoba lalo, kwaye uceba ukulihlutha ngokufanelekileyo; ubungekhe ukhathaze ukuthatha ithuba ngayo

Zizidalwa zakho, Nkosi, ziphendule bonke abangcwele; njengenkosi epheleleyo, unelungelo elingenakohluthwa phezu kwabo ukuba umtyholi akanakuphikisana nawe, kwaye sivuma ngokusuka entliziyweni yonke into eya kwenziwa bubulumko bakho ukukhohlisa ngokuthanda kwabo ukulindela okukhohlakeleyo kolu tshaba loluntu ...

UJ.-C. uhlabela mgama esithi: “Nantsi ke imfihlelo ekhwankqisayo uSathana angayilindelanga: umhlaba ocociweyo womhlaba, njengoko ubona, uya kuba ngumhlaba.

kwindawo yokuhlala apho, bengenalo ulonwabo lokundazi okanye lokundithanda, ngaphandle kokuthatha inxaxheba nangayiphi na indlela isiphelo sabanyulwa bam, baya kuhlala ngonaphakade.

ulonwabo oluthile lwendalo, oluya kubandakanya ubukhulu becala ekukhululweni kuzo zonke iintlobo zentlungu…… Kungekudala, ngamandla engalo yam enamandla onke ndiya kuwubophelela emazantsi enzonzobileni ubushushu bukaSathana namahlakani akhe; ndiya kubutywina ubumnyama babo obuthe tye ngabo; Ndiya kuzivala zonke iindlela zokuphuma zokuhlala kwabo bengonwabanga kangangokuba kungabikho moya uya kuze ukwazi ukuphuma kubo uze ubaphazamise kwindawo yabo yokuhlala yasemhlabeni.

Ngaloo ndlela, uyongezelela, kungenxa yobuchule obufanayo ukuba isandla esincedisayo ngamanye amaxesha siyazi indlela yokusindisa umhlambi wasemzini, apho unomdla wobubele, kwizinyo elibulalayo lerhamncwa elinoburhalarhume, nokuba kukunqanda umsindo walo, okanye ngokumvalela ngokwakhe ukuze umhlambi wonwabe

inkululeko. Kuba andinakuba ngumsindisi wabo ngokuthanda kwam, ndiza kuzenza umgwebi wabo ofanelekileyo, ngokubakhusela kangangoko kunokwenzeka kum njengomdali wabo…. Ngoko ke, uBawo, ethetha nabo, ejonge kubo ngeliso lemfesane: “Wathi kubo, Ndiyanihlangula ebumnyameni nasekuthinjweni eniphoswe kuko phantsi kwamandla kaSathana. Aniyi kuphinda nincwine ngeentsimbi; endaweni yezi ntolongo zimnyama nezingaphantsi komhlaba, le glowubhu yomhlaba, ihlanjululwe kwaye yahonjiswa ngamandla am, iya kuba yindawo yokuhlala oya kuhlala kuyo ngonaphakade, ungakwazi ukwenza enye into.

Izidalwa ezigwenxa emehlweni am: ngenxa yenu ndiyihlaziyele ngokuyinxenye, ukuze nibe novuyo kuyo njengoko ninokuba ngako, njengabantwana baka-Adam, iindlalifa zemvukelo yakhe, nabahluthwe yimeko yabo yolonwabo lwam. ukonwabela, kunye nolonwabo oluziswa lulwazi lwam nothando lwam. »

Bakhanyiswa kukulunga komgwebi wabo kubo, ndabona eli qela lincinane limsulwa liguqe ngamadolo phambi kwakhe, liqubuda ngobuso emhlabeni, lisithi, Nkosi enguMgwebi wabaphilileyo nabafileyo. , siyakuthanda. , siyakusikelela njengomdali wethu noThixo wethu olunge ngokungenasiphelo. Sikunika umbulelo ongunaphakade ngenxa yeenzuzo osithululela ngazo, ngaphandle kokusifanela, kunye nenceba engapheliyo othe ngayo.

sisebenzise kuthi: mayibongwe ngonaphakade, Nkosi, izukiswe kubo bonke abangcwele bakho….. Yonke intendelezo yasezulwini iduma; yonke indalo iyangcangcazela luvuyo, kwaye iBandla licula iingoma zovuyo ekuzukiseni uMdali… Iqela elingenakubalwa labamsulwa liyaphakama kwakhona  ; kwaye ngandlel’ ithile bonwabile kwilishwa labo, bazuza ilifa elimisiweyo elimele lingapheli kunye nomhlaba ohlaziyiweyo omele ube sisabelo sabo kuwo onke  amaphakade...

Njengoko uThixo engasayi kuwohlwaya umoya wabo, nentando yabo, neemvakalelo zabo, ekubeni akusayi kuze kubekho mvukelo okanye izidubedube, kwaye akukho nalinye lamandla abo liya kuba lilo, okanye izixhobo zolwaphulo-mthetho, uya kubavumela ukuba banandiphe ngokupheleleyo. ulonwabo lwendalo umntu ebeya kungcamla kwimo yendalo enyulu, ukuba ebezigcine apho. Ngokwenxalenye yabo, baya kuba neentloni ngokuthanda kukaThixo kangangokuba, kude nokufumana nayiphi na inkcaso kuyo, baya kuba nomnqweno wokuhambelana nayo kuyo yonke into ... Ngaphandle kokucaca, okanye ezinye iimpawu ze

abo babasikelelweyo, imizimba yabo iya konwabela onke  amandla endalo nayimfuneko ukuze bagcine ubomi babo, ebutsheni obunamandla nakwimeko egqibeleleyo. Baya kukhululeka kwiinkanuko kunye neemfuno eziphazamisayo zendalo yomntu; ukuhlala kwabo, kuhonjiswe,  njengathi

njengoko besesitshilo, iya kubabonelela ngendalo ubomi obumnandi kunye nazo zonke  iziyolo ezimsulwa ezihamba nazo; iya kuba yiParadisi yasemhlabeni yokwenene, ukuba sifuna ukusebenzisa eli binzana, abemi bayo abangayi kuba namsebenzi wumbi ngaphandle kokudumisa ngendlela yabo uThixo oya kuthi ngobubele asuse kubo ulwazi lwelahleko oluya kubenza bangonwabi. kwaye ubathintele  ekonwabeni

uhlobo lolonwabo olumiselwe bona….

Baza kubona, ngokuchaseneyo, ukuba liyingenelo kangakanani na ikamva labo: UThixo uya kuthwala ukulunga kangangokuba ade aziswe kubantwana babanquli-zithixo, ukuba, ukuba babephila, babeza kulandela ngokungenasiphoso ubugwenxa nolwaphulo-mthetho oluya kuba nalo. babaqalekisa ooyise. Uya kuwazisa loo maKristu ukuba, ukuba ukufa akuzange kuwathabathe kamsinya, mhlawumbi ngewayesenza kwa ezo zenzo zokungathembeki kwanezo ziphoso zaziya kubagweba uninzi lwawo phakathi kwabantwana beBandla lokwenyaniso. Kuya kuba yintoni na kwabo bathe ulwahlulo lubagcine esiphosweni, baya kwazi ukuba nabo babefanelwe sisihogo njengabo, ngokulandela iinkanuko zabo ezigwenxa, besebenzisa kwaezo zibabalo; ngelizwi nje, ukuba babelufumene ubhaptizo, mhlawumbi ngelube lolwesigwebo sabo sanaphakade kuphela.

Emva kwale nkcukacha malunga nekamva labantwana abahluthwa ubabalo lokubhaptizwa, uDade wandibuza ukuba ndicinga ntoni ngayo phambi koThixo; ukuba ndabona into echasene nemimiselo yokholo; kuba, wongezelela ngelithi, 'awuyazi indlela endivakalelwa ngayo ngalo mbandela. Bendicinga ukuba ndiyibonile yonke into endisandula ukukuxelela yona, ngengqiqo yokukhanya okundikhanyiselayo; Ndisakholelwa kuyo; kodwa uyazi ukuba andifuni kuvuma nantoni na echasene ngokuthe ngqo nemfundiso okanye inkolelo yeCawe, endiyigqala njengeyona ndlela yokuvavanya yenkuthazo.Ndixelele, ke, ukuba ucinga ntoni ngayo, kwaye ayizukuchasana nomgaqo othile wokholo...

UDade wayedinga impendulo; Ndawukhumbula ngokufanelekileyo undoqo waloo nto ndandiyifunde kutshanje kumbhali olungileyo, ophikisa ezo zithandi zobulumko zale mihla ezithi, ziphindaphinda iingxwabangxwaba nezingahloneli Thixo, zingcikiva iBandla laseRoma ngenkohlakalo engazange iviwe ngobubi obungenamzekelo . abathi bagwebe amadangatye angunaphakade, izidalwa ezinetyala lesono sika-Adam kuphela. Ugqirha

UbuKatolika bubuxoki kwaye buchasa oku kutyholwa yintlebendwane, ngokubabonisa apho bathabathe khona ukuba yayiyimfundiso yeCawa yamaRoma. Nantsi into, ngokutsho kwakhe, endiyiphendule ngayo:

Dadewethu, imfundiso yesono santlandlolo iyasigwebela ukungabikho kombono kunye nokuba nezinto zikaThixo ngonaphakade, kodwa hayi

amadangatye angunaphakade, ekucingelwa ukuba abangelwa kuphela zizono zethu nezethu; noko, ndongeza, emva kwakhe, Izibhalo ezingcwele azithethi nto kuye; iBandla alikasithathi isigqibo; ooBawo abaNgcwele abazange babe nabuganga bakubumisa, yaye ukuba abathile kubo bayaluphakamisa, igunya labo, njengelo labanye.

ababhali besikolo, abanakuze benze nantoni na ngaphandle koluvo oluthile, olungenakwenza umthetho wokholo. Ke, Dade wam, andiboni ukuba umntu unokwala ukuba sisiphi na isiseko esichaseneyo nokholo okanye inkolelo yeCawe, le nto ugqiba kundixelela yona ngale ngongoma inomdla, ngakumbi kuba ibonakala ihambelana ngakumbi nokulunga kweCawa. uThixo ngendalo yakhe.... Akaphendulanga nto uSister; kodwa ukuthula kwakhe kwabonakala kum ukubhengeza ukuba ulindele iingxabano malunga nale ngongoma. Siyeke ukuqhubeka ukuya kwelandelayo

iseshoni….
