Ngesikhathi sokulungiselela lo mkhosi, abanye abantu banombuzo wokuthi yiziphi izinsuku okusemandleni ukubhapathiza ingane, nokuthi ngabe kuvunyelwe ukukwenza ngesikhathi seLent. Kulesi sihloko sizozama ukuqonda lokhu.
Ngabe yiziphi izinsuku ababhapathiziwe esontweni?
Kufanele kuqaphele ukuthi isonto livumela ukwenza isakramente sokubhapathizwa ngokuphelele noma yiliphi ilanga, kuhlanganise nesonto noma impelasonto, ukuzila noma ukugcoba. Ayikho imingcele kule nkinga abapristi abaphoqeleli, ngoba uNkulunkulu ujabulela njalo ukunikela impilo engokomoya kunoma yimuphi umuntu.
Phakathi naleso sikhathi, ethempelini ngalinye kunezikhathi zomsebenzi nemithetho, ngakho-ke ngesikhathi sokulungiselela isakramente, abazali abasha kudingeka bacacise ngompristi, yiziphi izinsuku abhapathizwa ngayo kuleli sonto.
Ungabhapathiza ingane nganoma isiphi isikhathi ngemuva kweminyaka engu-8 ubudala, futhi ayikho imingcele. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, umama wengane esanda kuzalwa ubhekwa "engcolile" kuze kube sekuphelile ukuphuma komzimba ngemuva kwalokho, ngakho angeke angene esontweni zingakapheli izinsuku ezingama-40 emva kokubonakala kwemvuthuluka ekukhanyeni, okusho ukuthi akakwazi ukuya esikoleni.
Ezimweni eziningi, umkhosi wokubhapathizwa wenziwa ngosuku lwama-40 emva kokuzalwa komntwana noma kamuva. Uma ingane igula noma ibuthaka kakhulu, ungambhapathiza ngaphambili, kuhlanganise nasekhaya noma esikhungweni sezokwelapha.
