Wayetshutshiswa, evalelwa entolongweni kwaye engcungcuthekiswa kwaye ngoku ungumfundisi wamaKatolika
Kuyamangalisa ukuba, emva kwexesha elide, utshilo u-Raphael Nguyen, "UThixo undonyule njengombingeleli ukuba ndimkhonze kunye nabanye, ngakumbi ukubandezeleka."
“Akukho mkhonzi umkhulu kunenkosi yakhe. Ukuba banditshutshisa mna, baya kunitshutshisa nani ”. (UYohane 15:20)
Ubawo uRaphael Nguyen, oneminyaka engama-68 ubudala, usebenze njengomfundisi-ntsapho eDayosisi yase-Orange, eCalifornia ukusukela ekumiselweni kwakhe ngo-1996. amaza emva kokuwa kweSaigon ukuya kumaKomanisi aseNyakatho yeVietnam ngo-1975.
Ubawo uRaphael wamiselwa njengombingeleli ngu-Bhishophu wase-Orange Norman McFarland eneminyaka engama-44 emva komzabalazo omde kwaye obuhlala buhlungu. Njengabaphambukeli abaninzi abangamaVietnam baseVietnam, wabandezeleka ngenxa yokholo lwakhe ngurhulumente wamaKomanisi waseVietnam, owavala ukumiselwa kwakhe ngo-1978. Wayevuya xa amiselwa ukuba ngumfundisi kwaye wakhululeka wakhonza kwilizwe elikhululekileyo.
Ngeli xesha xa ubusoshiyali / ubukomanisi bujongwa njengabantu abaninzi abancinci baseMelika, kuyanceda ukuva ubungqina bukayise wabo kwaye ukhumbule ukubandezeleka obekuya kulinda iMelika ukuba inkqubo yobukomanisi iza eUnited States.
Utata u-Raphael wazalelwa e-Vietnam e-Vietnam ngo-1952. Phantse inkulungwane le ndawo yayiphantsi kolawulo lukarhulumente wase-France (owayesaziwa njenge "French Indochina"), kodwa washiywa kumaJapan ngexesha leMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi. I-Pro-Communist nationalists yathintela iinzame zokubuyisela igunya laseFrance kulo mmandla, kwaye ngo-1954 amaKomanisi alawula iNyakatho yeVietnam.
Ngaphantsi kwe-10% yesizwe ngamaKatolika kwaye, kunye nezityebi, amaKatolika aye atshutshiswa. UTata uRaphael ukhumbule, umzekelo, indlela aba bantu abangcwatywa bephila ngayo ukuya kuthi ga entanyeni yabo emva koko banqunyulwa iintloko ngezixhobo zezolimo. Ukubalekela intshutshiso, uRafael oselula kunye nosapho bakhe babalekela emazantsi.
EMazantsi eVietnam babeyonwabela inkululeko, nangona wayekhumbula ukuba imfazwe eyaqala phakathi koMntla noMzantsi “ibisoloko isenza sixhalabe. Asizange sizive sikhuselekile. “Ukhumbule ukuvuka kwakhe ngentsimbi yesine ubudala eneminyaka esixhenxe esiya kukhonza eMthendelekweni. Ngo-4 wangena kwisemina encinci yedayosisi yaseLong Xuyen kwaye ngo-7 kwisemina enkulu yaseSaigon.
Ngelixa wayefunda kwisikolo sabefundisi, ubomi bakhe babusoloko busengozini, njengoko iimbumbulu zotshaba zaziqhuma kufutshane phantse yonke imihla. Wayehlala efundisa ikatekism kubantwana abancinci kwaye ebenza ukuba badibanise phantsi kweedesika xa uqhushumbo lusondela kakhulu. Ngo-1975, imikhosi yaseMelika yayirhoxile eVietnam kwaye ubundlobongela basemazantsi boyisiwe. Imikhosi yaseNyakatho yeVietnam yathatha ulawulo lweSaigon.
"Ilizwe lawa", ukhumbula utata u-Raphael.
Iisemina zazikhawulezisa izifundo zazo kwaye utata wanyanzelwa ukuba agqibe iminyaka emithathu yezifundo zakwalizwi kunye nefilosofi kunyaka omnye. Waqala into eyayifanele ukuba ibe sisifundo seminyaka emibini kwaye, ngo-1978, wayeza kumiselwa abe ngumfundisi.
AmaKomanisi, nangona kunjalo, abeka imithetho engqongqo kwiCawa kwaye akazange avume ukuba uBawo Raphael okanye abanye abafundisi bakhe babekwe. Uthe: "Besingenayo inkululeko yonqulo eVietnam!"
Ngo-1981, utata wakhe wabanjwa ngenxa yokufundisa abantwana inkolo ngokungekho mthethweni kwaye wavalelwa iinyanga ezili-13. Ngeli xesha, utata wathunyelwa kwinkampu ekusetyenzwa nzima kuyo kwihlathi laseVietnam. Wanyanzelwa ukuba asebenze iiyure ezinde enokutya okuncinci kwaye wayebethwa kanobom ukuba wayengawugqibi umsebenzi wakhe awunikiweyo wosuku, okanye nakuphi na ukwaphula imigaqo.
“Ngamanye amaxesha ndandisebenza ndimile kumgxobhozo amanzi aye esifubeni, kwaye imithi eshinyeneyo ivimba ilanga ngaphezulu,” ukhumbula uFata Raphael. Iinyoka zamanzi ezinetyhefu, iintlanzi kunye neenkunzi zasendle zazisoloko ziyingozi kuye nakwamanye amabanjwa.
Amadoda ayelala phantsi ematyotyombeni axhwalekileyo, egcwele kakhulu. Uphahla oludlakadlaka alunakumkhusela kwimvula. Ubawo uRaphael ukhumbule ukuphathwa gadalala koonogada basejele ("bebefana nezilwanyana"), kwaye ngelishwa ukhumbule indlela enye yokubethwa kwabo kabuhlungu eyabuthatha ngayo ubomi bomnye wabahlobo bakhe abasondeleyo.
Kwakukho ababingeleli ababini ababhiyozela ubunzima kwaye bemamela ngokufihlakeleyo ukuvuma izono. Ubawo uRaphael wanceda ekusasazeni uMthendeleko oNgcwele kumabanjwa amaKatolika ngokufihla iinginginya kwipakethi yecuba.
Ubawo uRaphael wakhululwa kwaye ngo-1986 wagqiba ekubeni abaleke "kwintolongo enkulu" eyayililizwe lakhe laseVietnam. Ekunye nabahlobo bakhe, wakhusela isikhephe esincinci saza saya eThailand, kodwa ngolwandle olungenantambo injini yasilela. Ukuze babaleke ukuntywila, babuyela kunxweme lwaseVietnam, kodwa babanjwa ngamapolisa obuKomanisi. Ubawo uRafael waphinda wavalelwa, ngeli xesha kwintolongo enkulu yesixeko kangangeenyanga ezili-14.
Ngeli xesha oonogada bamphathisa utata into entsha: umothuko wombane. Umbane wathumela iintlungu ezingathethekiyo emzimbeni wakhe wamenza ukuba aphume. Emva kokuvuka, uya kuhlala ekwimifuno okwemizuzwana embalwa, engazi ukuba ngubani okanye uphi.
Ngaphandle kwento ayithuthumbisayo, uBawo uRaphael uchaza ixesha elalichithwa entolongweni "njengelixabisekileyo".
"Ndathandaza ngalo lonke ixesha kwaye ndakhulisa ubudlelwane obusondeleyo noThixo. Oku kwandinceda ndenza isigqibo ngobizo lwam."
Ukubandezeleka kwamabanjwa kwavusa uvelwano entliziyweni kaBawo Raphael, owathi ngenye imini wagqiba kwelokuba abuyele kwisikolo sabefundisi.
Ngo-1987, emva kokuba ekhululwe ejele, waphinda wakhusela isikhephe esiya kwinkululeko. Ibiziimitha ezingama-33 ubude kwaye zii-9 ububanzi ububanzi kwaye yayiza kuyithwala kunye nabanye abantu abangama-33, kubandakanya nabantwana.
Bemka nolwandle olulwayo baya eThailand. Endleleni, bahlangabezana nengozi entsha: abaphangi base Thai. IPirates ibingoosomashishini abakhohlakeleyo, bephanga izikhephe zeembacu, ngamanye amaxesha bebulala amadoda kwaye bedlwengula abantu basetyhini. Nje ukuba isikhephe seembacu sifike kunxweme lwaseThai, abakhweli baso babeza kukhuselwa ngamapolisa aseThai, kodwa elwandle babenenceba yabaphangi.
Kabini uYise Raphael kunye nabanye ababalekiyo badibana nabaphangi emva kobumnyama kwaye bakwazi ukucima izibane zesikhephe badlule kubo. Isiganeko sesithathu nesokugqibela senzeka ngala mhla isikhephe sasiphakathi kwelizwe laseThai. Ngeepirate ezazihlasela, uBawo Raphael, owayengumqhubi, wajika isikebhe waza wabuyela elwandle. Ngeepirate ezazisukela, wakhwela isikhephe ngesangqa malunga neeyadi ezili-100 ukunqumla kathathu. Eli qhinga lagxotha abahlaseli kunye nesikhephe esincinci sazisa ngempumelelo kwilizwekazi.
Ngokukhuselekileyo elunxwemeni, iqela lakhe lathunyelwa kwinkampu yeembacu yaseThai ePanatnikhom, kufutshane naseBangkok. Wahlala apho phantse iminyaka emibini. Iimbacu zifake izicelo zokukhuselwa kumazwe amaninzi kwaye zilindele iimpendulo. Okwangoku, abahlali babenokutya okuncinci, indawo encinci yokuhlala kwaye babengavunyelwe ukuphuma kwinkampu.
Uthi, "Iimeko zazimbi kakhulu." Unxunguphalo nosizi luye lwankulu kangangokuba abanye abantu baye baphelelwa lithemba. Kwakukho malunga ne-10 yokuzibulala ngexesha lam apho ".
Ubawo uRafael wenza konke okusemandleni akhe, eququzelela iintlanganiso zomthandazo rhoqo kunye nokucela ukutya kwabona banesidingo. Ngo-1989 wathunyelwa kwinkampu yeembacu kwiiPhilippines, apho iimeko ziye zaphucuka.
Kwiinyanga ezintandathu kamva, weza eUnited States. Waqala ukuhlala eSanta Ana, eCalifornia, kwaye wafunda isayensi yekhompyuter kwikholeji yasekuhlaleni. Waya kumfundisi waseVietnam ukuze afumane ulwalathiso lokomoya. Uye waqaphela: "Ndathandaza kakhulu ukuba ndiyazi indlela emayihambe".
Eqinisekile ukuba uThixo umbiza ukuba abe ngumfundisi, wadibana nomlawuli wezobizo kwi-diocese, Msgr. UDaniel Murray. UNksk Murray uphawule wathi: “Ndichukumiseke kakhulu nguye nokunyamezela kwakhe kubizo lwakhe. Wajamelana nobunzima wanyamezela; abanye abaninzi ngebezinikezele “.
Umnumzana Murray ukwaphawule ukuba abanye abefundisi baseVietnam kunye nabafundisi-ntsapho kwi-diocese baye bafumana imeko efanayo naleyo kaTata uRaphael kurhulumente wamaKomanisi waseVietnam. Omnye wabafundisi base-Orenji, umzekelo, wayenguprofesa ka-Raphael wase-Vietnam.
Ubawo uRaphael wangena kwiSeminary yaseSt. John eCamarillo ngo1991. Nangona wayesazi isiLatin, isiGrike nesiFrentshi, isiNgesi kwakungumzabalazo kuye. Ngo-1996 wamiselwa njengomfundisi. Ukhumbule: "Ndonwabile kakhulu,"
Utata uyalithanda ikhaya lakhe elitsha eMelika, nangona kuthathe ixesha ukuziqhelanisa nomothuko wenkcubeko. IMelika ibonwabele ubutyebi nenkululeko enkulu kuneVietnam, kodwa ayinayo inkcubeko yesiVietnam ebonisa ukubonakalisa intlonipho enkulu kubadala nabefundisi. Uthi abantu abadala baseVietnam bakhathazwa kukuziphatha gwenxa kwaseMelika kunye ne-mercantilism kunye nefuthe lazo kubantwana babo.
Ucinga ukuba ulwakhiwo olomeleleyo losapho lwaseVietnam kunye nentlonipho kububingeleli kunye negunya kukhokelele kwinani elingafaniyo lababingeleli baseVietnam. Kwaye, ecaphula i-adage endala "igazi labafeli-nkolo, imbewu yamaKristu", ucinga ukuba intshutshiso yobukomanisi eVietnam, njengakwimeko yeCawa yasePoland phantsi kobukomanisi, ikhokelele kwinkolo eyomeleleyo phakathi kwamaVietnam aseVietnam.
Wayekuvuyela ukukhonza njengomfundisi. Uye wathi, "Kuyamangalisa ukuba, emveni kwexesha elide, uThixo wandinyula ukuba ndibe ngumbingeleli wokumkhonza kunye nabanye, ngakumbi abo babandezelekileyo."
