Ubungqina, iSt. Benedict kunye neSt. Scholastica: igama elikhethiweyo

Yonke yedwa. Le yayingeyonto inkulu. Kubonakala ngathi yinto enkulu ukuyenza, khetha igama LAM.

Umakhulu wam wayenelunda ngesiqinisekiso sam kangangokuba wandibiza uChristine imini yonke.

Ndaphoxeka kwangoko. Lo mzekeliso wawukhangeleka umbi kakhulu: indoda enesigqubuthelo sentaka, intaka ekhwankqisayo, negama elihlekisayo endandinxulumene nalo kuphela noBenedict Arnold, umngcatshi odumileyo waseMelika. Emva kokufumana igama elihle njengoChristine, luhlobo luni lwethamsanqa endibe nalo lokuba nenkwenkwe enguBenedict ngosuku lwam lokuzalwa? Julayi 11, UMnumzana Benedict, abbot, utshilo. Ndihlala ndifunda amaphepha eSt Benedict, ndicinga ukuba kufanelekile ukuba ndinxibelelane nale ndoda njengengcwele yam, kodwa emva koko ndiyilibale ngaye de ...
Ukuthandaza
Ukukhawuleza phambili kweminyaka engama-30 xa ndafumana indlela eya kwiSan Benedetto Centre, hayi ngenxa yegama okanye ngenxa yokuba ndikhumbula into endandiyifundile malunga neSan Benedetto, kodwa ngenxa yokuba ndandinomnqweno wokuthandaza nokuthula. Kwaye ekuphumleni cwaka, ndadibana nomfazi ogama linguColleen owayeya kuba njengodade kum, u-Anam Cara okanye umhlobo womphefumlo. Ngenye imini wandinika inqaku elalisithi, "Sifana noodade abanomama abohlukeneyo." Sidibene kwinqanaba lokomoya: sathandaza kunye, safunda iincwadi zokomoya, kwaye sinokuthetha kangangeeyure ngohambo lwethu lokomoya.
Kwaye into endiyifumeneyo kunyaka wasweleka uqinisa ngakumbi unxibelelwano lwethu. Usuku lokuzalwa kwakhe nguFebruwari 10 kwaye umgcini wakhe ongcwele ngudade wabo oliwele ISan Benedetto, iSanta Scolastica. Babenobudlelwane obusondeleyo, nangona babengenakuchitha ixesha elininzi kunye, kwaye bobabini zinikele kuThixo.
Ngoobani uBenedict noScholastica?
Nali ibali likaSt. Scholastica elivela kwiincwadi zeeNgxoxo ze USt. Gregory Omkhulu:“UScholastica, udade waseSt. Benedict, wayezinikele kuThixo ukususela kwiminyaka yakhe yokuqala. Wayeqhele ukutyelela umntakwabo kanye ngonyaka. Wayeza kuhla amhlangabeze kwindawo ekwipropathi yeemonki, kude kufuphi nesango.
Ngenye imini weza njengesiqhelo kwaye umntakwabo ongcwele wahamba nabanye babafundi bakhe; Bachitha imini yonke bedumisa uThixo kwaye bethetha ngezinto ezingcwele. Njengobusuku babesitya kunye. Incoko yabo yokomoya yaqhubeka kwaye iyure yafika kade. Unongendi ongcwele wathi kumnakwabo: “Nceda ungandishiyi ngobu busuku; Siyaqhubeka kude kube kusasa ukuthetha ngeziyolo zobomi bomoya “. Uphendule wathi, “Dade, uthini na? Andikwazi kuhlala ngaphandle kwesisele sam. "
Ibali
Xa weva umntakwabo esala isicelo sakhe, umfazi ongcwele wabeka izandla zakhe phezu kwetafile, waphumla entloko kuyo kwaye waqala ukuthandaza. Kuthe xa u-0035 ephakamisa intloko yakhe etafileni, kwabaneka imibane eqaqambileyo, iindudumo ezinkulu, kunye nemvula enkulu kangangokuba uBenedict nabantakwabo babengenakudlula ngaphaya kombundu wendawo ababehleli kuyo. Ngelishwa waqala ukukhalaza: “Ngamana uThixo angakuxolela, dade. Ingaba wenze ntoni?" Uphendule wathi: “Ndikubuzile, kodwa akundiphulaphuli; ndiye ndacela uthixo wam wandimamela. Ke ngoku hamba, ukuba unako, undishiye ubuyele kwikhaya lakho leemonki. "
Engathandabuzi njengoko wayefanele aqhubeke nentando yakhe, wahlala ngokuchasene nentando yakhe. Ke kwenzeka ukuba bahlale ubusuku bonke, bengene kwincoko yabo malunga nobomi bokomoya. Akumangalisi ukuba wayesebenza ngakumbi kunaye, kuba njengoko uJohn esitsho, uThixo uluthando, kwakulungile ukuba angenza ngaphezulu, njengoko ethanda kakhulu.
Kwiintsuku ezintathu kamva, uBenedict wayesesiseleni sakhe. Eqengqele amehlo akhe, wabona umphefumlo kadadewabo ushiya umzimba wakhe usemahobe kwaye undizela kwiindawo ezifihlakeleyo zasezulwini. Evuya ebuqaqawulini bakhe obukhulu, wabulela kuThixo uSomandla ngeengoma nangamazwi okudumisa. Emva koko wathumela abantakwabo ukuba bathathe umzimba wakhe bawuse kwindlu yoonongendi, bawubeke engcwabeni awayezilungiselele lona. Iingqondo zabo bezisoloko zimanyene noThixo; imizimba yabo kwafuneka babelane ngengcwaba eliqhelekileyo “. Izifundo endizifundileyo eSt Benedict naseSt. Scholastica, kubuhlobo bam noColleen kunye nabanye abahlobo bomphefumlo, zininzi. Ndiqinisekile ukuba kuya kubakho okuninzi apha endleleni, kodwa Nazi ezinye zezinto endizifundileyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku:
Ubuhlobo
Ubuhlobo bokomoya abupheli. Nokuba kukufa okanye ngumgama akunako kusahlula nothando lomnye umntu. Akukho thando lukhulu kakhulu. Ubuhlobo bokomoya sisipho esivela kuThixo.Siyaxhasana ekwenzeni injongo kaThixo ebomini bethu. Ukunxibelelana ngokomoya kunye nabahlobo kubucebisa ubomi bomthandazo kwaye kukhokelela enye kuThixo xa umntu elahlekile okwexeshana. Ukuchitha ixesha kunye kubalulekile, kodwa ubuhlobo buhlala entliziyweni. Masithandazeleni kunye kunye. Siyakhala kunye. Sihleka kunye. Simamela, sicwangcise, sithuthuzele kwaye sicelomngeni omnye nomnye. Sinombulelo omnye komnye kwaye siyatsho. "Iingqondo zethu zimanyene noThixo".
Ndibulela uThixo ngomzekelo wabo bonke abangcwele kunye nokufunda ngo-St Benedict ndisengumntwana, ngamava ka-Oblate ukuze ndifunde banzi ngo-Benedict no-Rule wakhe (kunye ne-abbot eneebhokhwe kunye nentaka yakhe eyoyikisayo). Yobomi kunye namabali e UMnumzana Benedict e ISt.Scholastica. Ndiyabulela kuThixo ngo ubuhlobo bomoya.
