Isifundo Sokuqala · 1 Kings 19:9a, 11-13a
Entabeni kaNkulunkulu, iHorebe, uEliya wafika emhaheni lapho azikhoyisa khona. Khona-ke uNkosi wathi kuye: “Phuma ume entabeni phambi kukaNkosi; uNkosi uzadlula.” Kwase kuqubuka umoya omkhulu onamandla obusaza izintaba udaza namadwala phambi kukaNkosi—kodwa uNkosi wayengekho emoyeni. Emva komoya kwaba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba—kodwa uNkosi wayengekho ekuzamazameni komhlaba. Emva kokuzamazama komhlaba kwaba khona umlilo—kodwa uNkosi wayengekho emlilweni. Emva komlilo kwaba khona izwi elihlebezo elithule kakhulu. Ekuzweni lokho, uEliya wasibekela ubuso bakhe ngengubo yakhe, waphuma wama emnyango womhahe.
IHubo Eliphendulwayo · Psalm 85:9, 10, 11-12, 13-14
R. Nkosi, sibonise umusa wakho, usiphe usindiso lwakho. Ngiyakuzwa lokho uNkulunkulu uNkosi akushoyo; ngokuba umemezela ukuthula kubantu bakhe. Phela usindiso lwakho luseduze nabamesabayo, ukuze inkazimulo yakhe ihlale ezweni lethu. R. Nkosi, sibonise umusa wakho, usiphe usindiso lwakho. Umusa neqiniso kuyahlangana; ulungisa ukuthula kuyagqokana. Iqiniso liyahluma emhlabeni, nokulunga kubheka phansi kuvela ezulwini. R. Nkosi, sibonise umusa wakho, usiphe usindiso lwakho. Nkosi impela uzasipha okuhle; umhlaba wethu uzozala izithelo zawo. Ukulunga kuzahamba phambi kwakhe, kulungise indlela yezinyathelo zakhe. R. Nkosi, sibonise umusa wakho, usiphe usindiso lwakho.
Isifundo Sabi second · Romans 9:1-5
Bazalwane: Ngikhuluma iqiniso kuKristu, anginamanga; unembeza wami ufakazelana nami kuMoya Oyingcwele ukuthi nginosizi olukhulu nobuhlungu obungapheliyo enhliziyweni yami. Ngokuba ngingathesela ukuthi ngibe ngokhaliweyo nomqhele kuKristu ngenxa yabafowethu, abazalwane bami ngokwenyama. Bangama-Israyeli; ngeyabo ukutholwa ukuba ngabantwana, nenkazimulo, nezumnqophiso, ukunikezwa komthetho, nokukhonza, nezithembiso; ngabo abakuluphethe, nakubo ngokwenyama uvela uKristu, ongaphezu kwakho konke, uNkulunkulu obusiswe kuze kube phakade. Amen.
IVangeli · Matthew 14:22-33
Emva kokuba esuthise abantu, uJesu washesha waqobisa abafundi bakhe ukuba bangene emkhunjini bamqale baye ngaphesheya, ngenkathi Yena esamukelisa izixuku. Esakwenzile lokho, wenyukela entabeni eyedwa ukuyothandaza. Kwathi sekuwuhlwa wayekhona eyedwa. Kepha umkhumbi usukude kakhulu nezwe, uwephuka ngamagagasi, ngokuba umoya wayumelene nawo. Ngalomhloli wesine wasebusuku, uJesu waqonda kubo ahamba phezu kolwandle. Abafundi bebona ahamba phezu kolwandle batshuka kakhulu, bathi: “Isithunzela!” bamemeza ngenxa yokwesaba. Lokhu uJesu wakhuluma nabo masinyane, wathi: “Manini isibindi, yimi; ningasabi.” UPetru wamphendula wathi: “Nkosi, uma kunguwena, ngiyale ngize kuwe phezu kwamanzi.” Wathi: “Woza.” UPetru wehla emkhunjini, wahamba phezu kwamanzi eya kuJesu. Kodwa ebona amandla omoya, wesaba; seyaqala ukutshona, wamemeza wathi: “Nkosi, ngisindise!” Masinyane uJesu welula isandla sakhe, wambamba, wathi kuye: “O wena wokukholwa okuncane, ubaleleni ngokungathembi?” Ekungeneni kwabo emkhunjini, umoya wathula. Nabalowo ababesemkhunjini bamkhothamela, bathi: “Ngempi, uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.”
Nkosi, sibonise umusa wakho, usiphe usindiso lwakho.
Ishumatho

Bazalwane abathandekayo kuKristu,

Kwangathi singaluthola kuphi uNkulunkulu lapho izivunguvungu zempilo nezafudufu zokusasa zixokozela ezinxushunxushwini ezinzima?

Esifundweni sokuqala namuhla, umphrofethi uEliya wama ebaleni elisobala entabeni uHorebe. Kwathi lapho kuqubuka umoya omkhulu odaza amadwala, nokuzamazama komhlaba, nomlilo obhubhisayo… uNkosi wayengekho kuzo zonke lezo zinto ezinkulu. Kodwa kwathi emva komlilo, kwafika “izwi elihlebezo elithule kakhulu.” NasesiVangelini likaMathewu, abafundi bangaphakathi kwesiphepho sasemanzini, baqhaqhazela ngenxa yamagagasi nezinxushunxushwe zasebusuku. Kodwa uJesu uza kubo ezinzile, wathi: “Manini isibindi, yimi; ningasabi.” Bese kuthi lapho uPetru eqala ukushona phansi, uJesu elula isandla sakhe masinyane wambamba…

UNkulunkulu akakho ezivunguvungwini ezinodlame, kodwa usezandleni ezisindisayo nasenzwaweni ethule yothando lwakhe.

Lapho sicabanga ngo-Benjamin Vo, sibona intsha eyayinomoya oyisipho esihle sengqondo nobuchwepheshe, kodwa kakhulu eyayiphethe inhliziyo emsulwa ekhulekile. UBen wayenothando olungajwayelekile lokubheka phezulu esibhakabhakeni—ezindizeni nasembaleleni yezinyoni—enamaphupho amhlophe nahlekayo e-“Con Chim Airlines” eyayimenza agcwale ukumamatheka okumnandi. UBenjamin wayethanda nokuhlala buthule, alalele lapho oyise emxoxela izindaba. UBens wazwisisa ngokujulile ukuthi ezikhathini ezithule nasemoyeni omncane womndeni, kukhona ubuhle nesibani sikaNkulunkulu.

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

Lapho amagagasi anzima osizi eza njengesiphepho esinamandla, kulula ukuba inhliziyo yakho ijabuliseke noma izwe umthwalo wokuzisola. Kodwa uJesu usikhumbuza ukuthi ukugula nemicabango yokudabuka ayisiyo isijeziso sikaNkulunkulu, njengoba iBhayibheli lisifundisa ukuthi izifo aziveli kwazise kukhona owonile. Alan no-Thao… aninacala; aniphuthelwanga lutho enhliziyweni yenu. Isiphepho sesifo besingaphezu kwamandla omuntu. UJesu nguye owelula isandla sakhe ebumnyameni masinyane, aduduze inhliziyo yenu ethi: “Manini isibindi, yimi; ningasabi.” Uthando lwenu ku-Benjamin lusekhona, lubunjwe ezandleni zikaKristu.

Kuwe Ryan, mfo wethu omncane: ngesikhathi ubona izindiza nezinyoni phezulu esibhakabhakeni esithule, khumbula ukuthi umfowenu u-Ben ulele ngokuthula ecelekazi likaJesu, ukubuka njalo ngomusa.

Sikhipha ududuzo oluyisiphuzo sokuthula nakubo bonke abazali abakhala buthule, izingane ezagulayo ezibhedlela, nemindeni ethwele iziphambano ezisindayo ezindaweni zonke. UNkulunkulu usezwi elihlebezo eliletha ukuthula nentsando ezinhliziyweni zenu namuhla.

U-Benjamin Vo ulele ngokuthula eceleni kuka-Saint Carlo Acutis eTafuleni laseZulwini, embozwe ingubo yokuvikelwa uMariya Oyingcwele. Amen.
