Ungcwele, uyintsomi kunye nogqirha weCawa, kunye nomphathi wase-Itali naseYurophu.

Wayengubani kwaye kutheni ubomi bakhe bubaluleke kangaka?

Nazi izinto ezisi-8 ukwazi nokwabelana ...

1. Ngubani i-Holy Catherine yaseSiena?
   Ngo-2010, uPapa Benedict wabamba abaphulaphuli apho waxoxa khona ngezibakala ezisisiseko zobomi bakhe:

Uzalelwe eSiena [e-Italiya] ngo-1347, kusapho olukhulu kakhulu, wasweleka eRoma ngo-1380.

Xa uCatherine wayeneminyaka eli-16 ubudala, echukunyiswa ngumbono weSan Domenico, wangena kwi-Order yesiThathu yeeDominican, isebe labasetyhini elaziwa ngokuba nguMantellate.

Ngelixa wayehlala ekhaya, usiqinisekisile isifungo sakhe sokuba ubuntombi benziwa ngasese xa wayesakhula kwaye wazinikela emthandazweni, ekuzohlwayeni nakwimisebenzi yesisa, ngakumbi ukunceda abagulayo.

Wayesaziwa ukususela ngomhla wokuzalwa kwakhe kunye nemihla yokufa ukuba wayehlala kuphela ukuba aneminyaka engama-33 ubudala. Nangona kunjalo, zininzi izinto ezenzekileyo ngexesha lobomi bakhe!

2. Kwenzeka ntoni emva kokuba uSt.
   Ziliqela izinto. U-Saint Catherine wayefunwa njengomlawuli wokomoya, kwaye wadlala indima ekupheliseni upopu ka-Avignon (xa upopu, nangona wayesengubhishophu wase Roma, wayehlala eAvignon, eFrance).

UPopu Benedict uyacacisa:

Njengokuba udumo lobungcwele bakhe lwasasazeka, waba ngumlingiswa ophambili womsebenzi omkhulu wesikhokelo sasemoyeni kubantu abavela kuzo zonke iinkalo zobomi: izidwangube nezopolitiko, amagcisa nabantu abaqhelekileyo, amadoda nabafazi abazinikeleyo nabenkolo, kubandakanya uPopu Gregory XI owayehlala Avignon ngelo xesha kwaye eyakhuthaza ngamandla nangempumelelo ukuba babuyele eRoma.

Uhambe kakhulu esiya kukhuthaza ukuphuculwa kweCawe ngaphakathi kunye nokukhuthaza uxolo phakathi kwamazwe.

Kwakungenxa yesi sizathu sokuba uPapa ohloniphekileyo uJohn Paul II akhethe ukuvakalisa i-Patroness of Europe: ukuba ilizwekazi elidala lingaze lilibale iingcambu zobuKristu eziyimvelaphi yenkqubela phambili kwaye ziqhubeke nokufumana ixabiso kwiVangeli. isisiseko kunokuqinisekisa ubulungisa nemvisiswano.

3. Ngaba ukhe wajamelana nenkcaso ebomini bakho?
   UPopu Benedict uyacacisa:

Njengabaninzi babangcwele, uCatherine wayeve iintlungu ezinkulu.

Abanye bade bacinga ukuba mabangamthembi, kangangokuba kwiminyaka eli-1374, iminyaka emithandathu phambi kokuba abhubhe, iDeninican General Chapter yambizela kuFlorence ukuze amphe imibuzo.

Bonyule uRaymund waseCapua, umntu ofundileyo nothobekileyo kunye ne-Master General ye-Order, njengesikhokelo sakhe somoya.

Emva kokuba evumile kwaye "nonyana wakhe wokomoya", wabhala i-biografi yakhe yokuqala.

4. Ngaba likhona njani ibali lakho malunga nexesha?
   UPopu Benedict uyacacisa:

Yabhalwa ngokusemthethweni kwi-1461.

Imfundiso kaCatherine, owafunda ukufunda nzima kwaye wafunda ukubhala sele emdala, iqulethwe kwi-Dialogue of Divine Providence okanye kwiNcwadi yeMfundiso eNgcwele, umsebenzi wobugcisa woncwadi, kwi-Epistolary yakhe nakwingqokelela yemithandazo yakhe. .

Ukufundisa kwakhe kunikwe ukugqwesa kangangokuba ngo-1970 uMkhonzi kaThixo uPaul VI wamchaza njengoGqirha weCawa, isihloko esongezwa kwezo zobu-Co-Patroness weSixeko sase-Roma-ngokomyalelo waBasikelelekileyo. UPius IX-kunye no-Patroness wase-Italiya-ngokwesigqibo seVerable Pius XII.

5. USanta uCatherine uxele ukuba wayephila "emtshatweni oyimfihlakalo" noYesu. Yayiyintoni le nto?
   UPopu Benedict uyacacisa:

Kumbono owawusoloko ukho entliziyweni nasengqondweni kaCatherine, uMama wethu wammisa kuYesu owamnika umsesane oqaqambileyo, emxelela: 'Mna, Mdali noMsindisi wakho, nditshata nawe ngokholo, oya kuhlala ucocekile de xa ubhiyozela umtshato wakho ongunaphakade kunye nam eParadesi '(Beato Raimondo da Capua, S. Caterina da Siena, Legenda maior, n. 115, Siena 1998).

Lo msesane wawubonakala kuye kuphela.

Ngesi siqephu esingaqhelekanga sibona iziko elibalulekileyo lengqondo kaCatherine yenkolo kunye nayo yonke imo yinyani yokomoya: UChristocentrism.

Ngaye, uKrestu wayefana neqabane elinolwalamano olusondeleyo kunye naye, ubudlelwane kunye nokunyaniseka; wayengoyena mntu umthandayo amthandayo ngaphezu kwako konke okunye ukulunga.

Obu budlelwane obunamandla neNkosi bubonakaliswa lelinye inxenye yobomi bommangaliso ongaqhelekanga: ukutshintshana kweentliziyo.

NgokukaRaymond waseCapua obedlulisa iimfihlo ezivela kuCatherine, iNkosi u Yesu yabonakala kuye "ibambe intliziyo yomntu, ibomvu krwe kwaye ikhanya ezandleni zakhe ezingcwele". Wavula icala lakhe wafaka intliziyo yakhe ngaphakathi kuye esithi, 'Ntombi endimthandayo, ngelixa ndandisusa intliziyo yakho ngenye imini, ngoku, yabona, ndikunika eyam, ukuze uqhubeke uphila nayo ngonaphakade' (ibid.).

UCatherine wayephila ngokwenyani amazwi kaPaul Paul: "ayisendim ke odlalayo, nguKristu ke osele ehlala kum" (kwabaseGalatiya 2:20).

6. Yintoni esinokuyifunda kwizinto esinokuzisebenzisa ebomini bethu?
   UPopu Benedict uyacacisa:

Njengomsunguli weSienese, lonke ikholwa livakalelwa yimfuneko yokuhambelana neemvakalelo zentliziyo zikaKristu zokuthanda uThixo nommelwane wakhe njengoko ezithanda uKrestu uqobo.

Kwaye sonke singavumela iintliziyo zethu ukuba ziguqulwe kwaye zifunde ukuthanda njengoKristu ngokuqhelana naye okondliwa ngumthandazo, ukucamngca ngeLizwi likaThixo kunye neesakramente, ngakumbi ngokufumana rhoqo uMthendeleko oNgcwele kunye nokuzinikela.

UCatherine ukwakwisihlwele sabangcwele abazinikele kwi-Eucharist apho ndagqiba khona ngeSikhumbuzo sam sokuPostile iSacramentum Caritatis (cf. N. 94).

Bazalwana noodade abathandekayo, uMthendeleko sisipho esingaqhelekanga sothando uThixo ahlala esivuselela ngokuqhubekayo ukondla uhambo lwethu lokholo, eqinisa ithemba lethu kwaye evutha uthando lwethu, ukuze asenze ngakumbi nangakumbi njengaye.

7. INgcwele uCatherine yafumana "isipho seenyembezi". Yayiyintoni le?
   UPopu Benedict uyacacisa:

Olunye uphawu lokomoya lukaCatherine olunxibelelene nesipho sezinyembezi.

Babonisa uvakalelo olukhulu kunye novakalelo olunzulu, ukukwazi ukushukunyiswa nesisa.

Abangcwele abaninzi babenesipho sezinyembezi, bevuselela imvakalelo ka Yesu ngokwakhe ongazange azibambe okanye afihle iinyembezi engcwabeni lomhlobo wakhe uLazaro kunye nentlungu kaMariya noMartha okanye ukubona kweYerusalem ngeentsuku zakhe zokugqibela kulomhlaba.

NgokukaCatherine, iinyembezi zabangcwele zixubene negazi likaKristu, awayethetha ngalo kwiithoni ezinemifanekiso esebenzayo kunye nemifanekiso esebenzayo.

8. USanta Catherine ngexesha elinye usebenzisa umfanekiso kaKristu njengebhulorho. Iyintoni intsingiselo yalo mfanekiso?
   UPopu Benedict uyacacisa:

KwiDialalog of Divine Providence, uchaza uKrestu, enomfanekiso ongaqhelekanga, njengebhulorho eyasungulwa phakathi kwezulu nomhlaba.

Le bhulorho yenziwa ngezitepsi ezikhulu ezintathu ezibandakanya iinyawo, icala nomlomo kaYesu.

Ukunyuka kwezi zinyuko, umphefumlo udlula kumanqanaba amathathu endlela nganye yokungcwaliswa: ukuhlangana nesono, ukuziqhelanisa nobuntu nothando, umanyano olumnandi nothando kunye noThixo.

Bazalwane noodade abathandekayo, masifunde ku-Katherine oMninzi ukuba simthande uKrestu kunye neCawe ngenkalipho, ngokunzulu nangokunyaniseka.

Ke ngoko siyawenza amazwi ethu ngo-Saint Catherine esiwafundayo kwiDialalog of Divine Providence ekupheleni kwesahluko esithetha ngoKrestu njengebhulorho: 'Ngenceba usihlambile egazini lakhe, ngenceba onqwenela ukuncokola ngayo nezidalwa. Uphambene ngothando! Kwakungonelanga ukuba uthathe inyama, kodwa wawukwafuna nokufa! … O inceba! Intliziyo yam iyatshona xa ndicinga ngawe: nokuba ndijikajikisa phi ukucinga, ndifumana inceba kuphela '(isahluko 30, iphepha 79-80).
