Isifundo Sokuqala · Nahum 2:1, 3; 3:1-3, 6-7
Bheka, phezulu ezintabeni kuza umlethi wezindaba ezinhle, umemezela ukuthula! Dlana imikhosi yakho, Juda, ugcwalise izifungo zakho! Ngokuba owesilisa omubi kabuyikungena kuwe futhi; ububhujiswa ngokupheleleyo. UNkosi uzawubuyisa umvini kaJakobe, nokuziphakamisa kuka-Israyeli, noma abangcofi bebangcofile nangokususa amagatsha amancane. Yeka umuzi waziyelele womfipho, ogcwele amanga, ogcwele impango, okukhishwa kuyo kunganqamuki! Umshaywa weswebhu, umsindo wamasondo, amahashi agijimayo, amagonqolo agxumayo, abagibeli behashi bahlasela, amaphaphu enkemba, ukukhanya komkhonto, abaningi ababuleweyo, nezintaba zezidumbu! Ngiyakuphonsa udoti phezu kwakho, ngikuhlazise, ngikubeke ube yishwa; kuze kuthi bonke abakubonayo bayakubaleka kuwe, bathi: 'INineve libhujisiwe; ngubani oyoyililela? Sithole phi abazoyiduduza?'
Ihubo Lokusabela · Deuteronomy 32:35cd-36ab, 39abcd, 41
R. Yimina engibulala ngiphinde ngiphilise. Usuku lwentlekele yabo luseduze, nenhlekelele yabo iyahlasela! Ngempela uNkosi uyakwehlulela abantu bakhe; nozwela ezincekwini zakhe. R. Yimina engibulala ngiphinde ngiphilise. Fundani-ke ukuthi yimina, yimina wedwa enguNkulunkulu, kakho omunye uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami. Yimina engibulala ngiphinde ngiphilise, yimina engilimazayo ngibuye ngiphilise. R. Yimina engibulala ngiphinde ngiphilise. Ngiyakulola inkemba yami ekhazimulayo, isandla sami sizakubamba umnsalo nomcibisholo; ngiyakubuyisela impendulo kwabazondayo, ngiyakubuyisela kulabo abangizondayo. R. Yimina engibulala ngiphinde ngiphilise.
IVangeli · Matthew 16:24-28
UJesu wathi kubafundi bakhe: 'Uma umuntu efuna ukuza ngemva kwami, makazidele, athwale isiphambano sakhe, angilandele. Ngokuba lowo ofuna ukusindisa impilo yakhe uyoilahla, kodwa lowo olahla impilo yakhe ngenxa yami oyoyithola. Kungamsiza ngamoni umuntu ukuzuza umhlaba wonke kodwa alahlekelwe ngumphefumulo wakhe? Noma yini umuntu angayinikeza ngokushintshanisa nempilo yakhe? Ngokuba uNdodana woMuntu uzakuza ngezimfanelo zikaBaba ekhazimulayo nezingelosi zakhe, khona-ke uyokhokhela ulelo nalelo ngokwezenzo zakhe. Ngempela ngithi kini, bakhona abami lapha abangayikuzwa ukufa baze babone uNdodana woMuntu eza eMbusweni wakhe.'
Yimina engibulala ngiphinde ngiphilise.
Ishumayelo

Bazalwane abathandekayo kuKristu,

Ingabe kukhona okungaphezu kokuzikhandla nokubeka inhliziyo yonke entweni oyenzayo?

eVangelini lanamuhla, uJesu usibeka phambi kwenselelo ejulile ecela zonke izinhliziyo zethu. Uthi: “Uma umuntu efuna ukuza ngemva kwami, makazidele, athwale isiphambano sakhe, angilandele.” Naku-Nahume esifundweni sokuqala, sizwa ngezwi elilula elimemezela ezintabeni: “Bheka, phezulu ezintabeni kuza umlethi wezindaba ezinhle, umemezela ukuthula!” Nasesihlabelelweni saseDeuteronomi, uNkosi usikhumbuza ukuthi Yena unikeza ukuthula nokuphila okuyikho konke.

Ukuthwala isiphambano akukhona ukuncama ngethemba… kodwa ukuhamba noJesu ngenhliziyo eya phambili, ngisho nalapho indlela inyakaza.

Lapho sicabanga ngo-Benjamin Vo, sibona intsha eyayinomoya omangalisayo wokuzikhandla nobuqhawe. UBen wayenkolelweni elula kodwa ejulile ukuthi: “Ukuzama yikhona konke okubalulekile.” Sithola isithombe somfana owayezimisele ebaleni le-badminton noma ethatha amathuba amasha ngenhliziyo ekhululekile… wayengasabi ukuzama, wayengasabi ukuzikhandla, kodwa wazinikela ekuphokopheleni phambili ngokumamatheka nofuzo lwenjabulo.

Lowo moya ka-Benjamin—umoya ongesabi, wokuzikhandla nokuphila ngenhliziyo ephelele—uyisibonakaliso esihle sabasebenza ngokwethembeka endleleni kaKristu. UBenjamin wasibonisa ukuthi ukuphila ngempela akukhona ukugcina izinto emgodleni, kodwa ukunikela konke uthando nenzuzo esinayo ezandleni zikaNkulunkulu.

Sekuphele amaviki ayisikhombisa namuhla kusukela u-Benjamin abizelwa ekhaya ngo-June 13.

Alan no-Thao… lapho isiphambano osizi sibonakala sisinda ezingubeni zenu, uJesu uniseduze ukunisiza ukusithwala. Inhliziyo ka-Benjamin eyaqhubeka izama, eyanipha intokozo emangalisayo, ayinyamalalanga. Is ezandleni zikaKristu lapho zonke izithelo zomsebenzi wakhe nemizamo yakhe kuhlanganiswa ekukhanyeni okungapheliyo.

Kuwe Ryan, mfo wethu omncane: khumbula ukuthi umfowenu u-Ben uyaqhubeka ukukubuka ngenjabulo nangesineke. Njengoba ebaleni ayengapheli amandla, nakuwe namuhla ufisa ukuba uhambe ngethemba nangokusiza abanye.

Sikhipha ududuzo oluyisiphuzo sokuthula nakubo bonke abazali, abathandekayo abafunda leli zwi kude, izingane ezagulayo ezindaweni ezahlukene, nemindeni ethwele iziphambano ezisindayo. UNkulunkulu uyanizwa, unamukela ezandleni zakhe zomusa.

U-Benjamin Vo ulele ngokuthula no-Saint Carlo Acutis eTafuleni laseZulwini, embozwe ingubo yokuvikelwa uMariya Oyingcwele. Amen.
