I-SANT'ANTONIO DA PADOVA-IMBALI NOBUNGCWELE
Kuncinci okwaziwayo malunga nobuntwana bukaSanta Anthony wasePadua naseLisbon. Umhla ofanayo wokuzalwa, owabekwa kamva ngokwesiko ngo-Agasti 15, 1195-usuku lokuNyuka ezulwini kwiNtombikazi kaMariya, ayiqinisekanga. Yintoni eqinisekileyo kukuba uFernando, eli ligama lakhe lokuqala, wazalelwa eLisbon, ikomkhulu lobukumkani basePortugal, yabazali ababekekileyo: UMartino de 'Buglioni noDonna Maria Taveira.
Sele eneminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu wangena kumzi woonongendi waseAugustina waseSan Vicente di Fora, ngaphandle nje kwaseLisbon, kwaye ke yena ngokwakhe uphawula ngalo msitho:
“Nabani na obonisa ukuba unqulo lubonakalisa ukuzisola uyafana nabafazi abazinikeleyo abathi, ngentsasa yePasika, baya engcwabeni likaKristu. Xa siqwalasele ubunzima belitye elivale umlomo, bathi: ngubani oza kuqengqela ilitye? Lilikhulu ilitye, oko kukuthi, ubungqongqo bobomi boonongendi: indawo yokungena enzima, imilindo emide, ukuphindaphindwa kokuzila ukutya, ukutya ukutya okunxitywayo, iingubo ezirhabaxa, uqeqesho olungqongqo, ubuhlwempu ngokuzithandela, intobelo ekulungeleyo ... Ngubani na oya kusiqengqela eli litye emnyango wengcwaba? Ingelosi yehla ivela ezulwini, watsho umvangeli, waliqengqa ilitye wahlala kulo. Nantsi: ingelosi lubabalo loMoya oyiNgcwele, oqinisa fragility, yonke roughness ithambisa, bonke ubukrakra benza kamnandi nothando. "
I-monastery yaseSan Vicente yayisondele kakhulu kwindawo yakhe yokuzalwa kwaye uFernando, owayefuna ukuzimela kwihlabathi ukuba azinikele emthandazweni, afunde kwaye acamngce, wayetyelelwa rhoqo kwaye ephazanyiswa zizihlobo nabahlobo. Emva kweminyaka embalwa uthatha isigqibo sokufudukela kwindlu yeemonki yango-Agasti waseSanta Croce eCoimbra, apho ahlala khona kangangeminyaka esibhozo yezifundo ezinzulu zeZibhalo Ezingcwele, akugqiba wamiselwa waba ngumfundisi ngo-1220.
Kule minyaka e-Itali, e-Assisi, omnye umfana osuka kusapho olutyebileyo wamkela indlela entsha yobomi: wayengu-St. Francis, abanye babalandeli abathi ngo-1219, emva kokuba bewelile kumazantsi eFrance, beza e-Coimbra ukuqhubeka umhlaba okhethiweyo wemishini: iMorocco.
Kungekudala emva koko uFernando wafunda ngokubulawelwa ukholo kwaba bangcwele bakaFrancis proto-martyr ogama izidumbu zabo zadalwayo ngenxa yokuhlonela abathembekileyo eCoimbra. Ejamelene nalo mzekelo ukhanyayo wokuzincama kwakhe ubomi bakhe ngenxa kaKristu, uFernando, ngoku oneminyaka engamashumi amabini anesihlanu, uthatha isigqibo sokuwushiya umkhwa ka-Agastiusan wokufaka umkhwa ombi waseFrancisan, kwaye, enze ukuyeka kobomi bakhe bangaphambili bube yinto ebukhali ngakumbi, uthatha isigqibo sokuthatha isigqibo Igama lika-Antonio, kwinkumbulo yemonki enkulu yaseMpuma. Yiyo loo nto wafuduka kwikhaya loonongendi elityebileyo lika-Augustine waya kwizakhiwo zaseFranciscan ezihlwempuzekileyo zaseMonte Olivais.
Umnqweno wenqanawa entsha kaFrancisan u-Antonio yayikukulinganisa abo babulala ukholo kaFrancisan wokuqala eMorocco kwaye wemka waya kulomhlaba kodwa wakhawuleza wabanjwa ziintshatsheli zemalariya, ezamnyanzela ukuba abuyele ekhaya ukuze abuyele ekhaya. Ukuthanda kukaThixo kwakwahlukile kwaye isaqhwithi sanyanzelisa inqanawa eyamhambisa eMilazzo kufutshane naseMessina eSicily, apho ajoyina khona amaFranciscans asekuhlaleni.
Apha ufunda ukuba uSt.Francis wayebize isahluko ngokubanzi samafriya e-Assisi ngale Pentekoste ilandelayo kwaye ngentwasahlobo ka-1221 wabhekisa e-Umbria apho wadibana khona noFrancis kwi "Isahluko seMats" esidumileyo.
Ukusuka kwiGeneral Isahluko u-Antonio wafudukela e-Romagna ethunyelwe kwi-hermitage yaseMontepaolo njengombingeleli wabantakwabo, efihla ngokuzithoba okukhulu imvelaphi yakhe entle kwaye nangaphezulu kokulungiselela kwakhe okungaqhelekanga.
Ngo-1222, nangona kunjalo, ngokuthanda okungummangaliso, wanyanzelwa ukuba abambe inkomfa yokomoya ngexesha lokumiselwa kobubingeleli eRimini. Ummangaliso wobukrelekrele obunjalo kunye nesayensi yayiye ngokubanzi kunye nokunconywa okukhulu ngakumbi kangangokuba iinkolelo zaze zangqinwa ukuba zamkhethile uMshumayeli.
Ukususela ngalo mzuzu ubulungiseleli bakhe basesidlangalaleni buqala, obambona eshumayela engayeki kwaye esenza imimangaliso e-Itali nase France (1224 - 1227), apho uqhekeko lweCathar, umvangeli weVangeli kunye nomyalezo waseFranciscan woXolo noLungileyo.
Ukusukela ngo-1227 ukuya ku-1230 njengo-Mphathiswa wePhondo e-Itali yase-Italy wayehamba ubude nobubanzi bommandla wephondo elikhulu, eshumayeza abantu, ehambela amakhonkco kwaye esungula abatsha. Ngexesha leminyaka wabhala kwaye wapapasha iiNtshumayelo zangeCawa.
Ekuzuleni kwakhe wafika ePadua okokuqala e-1228, unyaka apho, nangona kunjalo, enganqumamiyo kodwa esiya eRoma, ebizwa apho ngu-Mphathiswa Jikelele, u-Fra Giovanni Parenti, owayefuna ukudibana naye malunga nemicimbi ephathelene noRhulumente we-Order.
Kwangalo nyaka wabanjwa e-Roma nguPopu Gregory IX e-Sentikeyini ukushunyayelwa koqheliselo lokomoya lwepapa curia, isiganeko esingaqhelekanga esakhokelela ukuba uPapa aluchaze njengebhokisi yobuncwane beZibhalo Ezingcwele.
Emva kokushumayela uye eAssisi ngolwaziso olungcwele lukaFrancis aze ekugqibeleni abuyele ePadua apho azimisele khona ukuba aqhubeke nokushumayela kwiphondo lase-Emilia. Le yiminyaka yokushunyayelwa ngokuchasene nenzala kunye nesiqendu esingaqhelekanga sommangaliso wentliziyo yombolekisi.
Ngo-1230, kwityeli elitsha le-General General e-Assisi, u-Antonio warhoxa kwi-ofisi yomphathiswa wephondo ukuba atyunjelwe uMshumayeli Jikelele kwaye waphinda wathunyelwa e-Roma ngenjongo yokuthumela kuPopu Gregory IX.
UAntonio wayitshintsha indlela awayeshumayela ngayo ngokufundisa abefundisi nakwabo bafuna ukuba ngabangabo. Wayengutitshala wokuqala wezakwalizwi weFrancisan Order kunye nombhali wokuqala obalaseleyo. Ngalo msebenzi wokufundisa, uAntonio wafumana imvume kuBawo waseSeraphic uFrancis owambhalela wathi: “KuMzalwana u-Antonio, ubhishophu wam, uMzalwana uFrancis unqwenela impilo. Ndiyathanda ukuba ufundise ifioloji kubafundisi, ukuba nje umoya wokuzinikela kuThixo awucimi kwesi sifundo, njengoko umthetho ufuna njalo. "
U-Antonio wabuyela ePadua ekupheleni kwe-1230 kwaye akazange ayishiye kude kube yintsikelelo yakhe yokuhamba.
Kwiminyaka yePaduan, bambalwa kakhulu, kodwa ngokuqina okungaqhelekanga, waqukumbela ukuyilwa kweeNtshumayelo zangeCawa kwaye waqala ukuyila ezo zeMithendeleko yeeNgcwele.
Ngentwasahlobo yowe-1231 wagqiba ekubeni ashumayele yonke imihla yeLente kwiLente engaqhelekanga, eyayibonisa ukuqala kokuzalwa ngokutsha kobuKristu kwesixeko sasePadua. Kwakunamandla, kwakhona, yayikukushumayela ngokuchasene nenzala kunye nokukhusela abona babuthathaka nabona bahlelelekileyo.
Ngeli xesha, intlanganiso kunye no-Ezzelino III da Romano, ongumkhohlisi onobuqhophololo wase Veronese, uyaqhubeka ukucela ukukhululeka kweNgxelo yosapho luka-S. Bonifacio.
Ekupheleni kweLente ngeenyanga zika-Meyi nangoJuni ngo-1231 uthatha umhlala-phantsi eCamposampiero, ezilalini, malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-30 ukusuka kwisixeko sasePadua, apho emini echitha ixesha lakhe kwindlu encinci eyakhiwe kumthi womnathi. Kwisisele sekhaya, apho wayehlala khona xa wayengasebenzi umhlala phantsi kwi-walnut, uMntwana uYesu ubonakala kuye.
Ukusuka apha uAntonio, obuthathaka kukugula, ushiya ukufa ngenxa kaPadua ngoJuni 13 kwaye ubuyisela umphefumlo wakhe kuThixo kwindlu encinci ye-Clarisse all'Arcella, emasangweni esixeko naphambi komphefumlo wakhe ongcwele, ekhululwe kwintolongo yenyama, ukuntywila enzonzobileni yokukhanya uvakalisa amagama athi "Ndiyabona Nkosi yam".
Ukusweleka kuka-Ngcwele, kwabakho impikiswano eyingozi malunga nokufunyanwa kwesidumbu sakhe. Ityala elingoMthetho lafunwa phambi kuka-Bishop wasePadua, phambi komphathiswa wephondo, ukuze aqonde ukuba uyayihlonipha intando ye-Friar eNgcwele, onqwenela ukuba wangcwatywa kwiCawa yaseSancta uMaria Mater Domini, indawo ahlala kuyo, eyenzekileyo, emva komngcwabo obumisiweyo, ngolwe-Lwesibini emva kohambo lokuziphatha kakubi, nge-17 kaJuni ngo-1231, usuku ekwenzeka ngalo mmangaliso wokuqala emva kokubhubha.
Ngaphantsi konyaka emva kukaMeyi 30, 1232, uPopu Gregory IX waphakamisa u-Antonio kwii honours zeallet, elungisa umthendeleko ngosuku lokuzalwa kwakhe ezulwini: nge-13 kaJuni.
