Padre Pio kunye nesenzeko selevitation: yintoni na, ezinye iziqendu
I-Levitation inokuchazwa njengesiganeko apho umntu okanye into enzima iphakama emhlabeni kwaye ihlale ixhonywe emoyeni. Ngokucacileyo esi siganeko sinokulandwa sibuyela emva kuthando lwenene olunikwe nguThixo kwiiNgcwele zeCawa yamaKatolika. USan Giuseppe da Copertino, umzekelo, wayedume ngezi ziganeko zokuzulazula kwaye, njengaye, uPadre Pio wasePietrelcina naye wayenalo charisma.
Ngexesha leMfazwe yesibini yeHlabathi, uMyalelo Jikelele we-US Air Forces wawuseBari. Amagosa amaninzi athi asindiswe nguPadre Pio ngexesha lemisebenzi yomoya. Nditsho noMphathi-mkhosi oNjengele ebengumntu ophambili kwisiqendu esichukumisayo. Ngenye imini yena ngokwakhe wayefuna ukubhabhisa iqela labaqhushumbisi ukuze batshabalalise indawo yokugcina izinto zemfazwe yaseJamani eyayixelwe eSan Giovanni Rotondo. UNjengele wathi kufutshane nendawo ekujoliswe kuyo, yena namadoda akhe babone umzobo wendoda ethile inyuka esibhakabhakeni iphakamise izandla zayo. Iibhombu zaziwa ngokuzenzekelayo njengoko zaziwela ehlathini, kwaye iinqwelo-moya zenze inguqu, ngaphandle kokungenelela kwabaqhubi kunye namagosa. Wonke umntu wayezibuza ukuba ngubani na loo mfo uthotyelwe ziinqwelo-moya. Omnye umntu waxelela uMphathi-Jikelele ukuba i-thaumaturge friar yayihlala eSan Giovanni Rotondo kwaye wagqiba ekubeni ngokukhawuleza ukuba idolophu ikhululwe, uya kuhlola ukuba yayiyi-friar efanayo ebonwa esibhakabhakeni. Emva kwemfazwe, iNjengele ihamba kunye nabanye abaqhubi beenqwelomoya, baya kwiCapuchin convent. Uthe nje akuba ewele umgubasi wobungcwele wazibona sele ephambi kweendonda ezahlukeneyo, phakathi kwabo waqonda ngoko nangoko lowo wayemise iinqwelo-moya zakhe. UPadre Pio weza kumhlangabeza waza, ebeka isandla egxalabeni lakhe, wathi kuye: "Nguwe ke lowo ubufuna ukusibulala sonke". Yachukunyiswa yiloo mbonakalo kunye namazwi kaBawo, iNjengele yaguqa phambi kwakhe. Njengesiqhelo, uPadre Pio wayethetha ngesiBenevento, kodwa uNjengele wayeqinisekile ukuba umfundisi wayethethe IsiNgesi. Aba babini baba ngabahlobo yaza iNjengele, eyayingumProtestanti, yaguqukela kubuKatolika.
Nali ibali likaTata uAscanio:- “Silindele uPadre Pio azovuma izono, ingcwele igcwele kwaye wonke umntu amehlo akhe athe ntsho kumnyango ekufuneka uBawo angene ngawo. Ucango aluvuleki, kodwa ngequbuliso ndibona uPadre Pio ehamba phezu kweentloko zabathembekileyo, efikelela kwindawo yokuvuma izono kwaye wanyamalala apho. Emva kwemizuzwana embalwa uqalisa ukumamela abo baguqukayo. Andithethi nto, ndicinga ukuba ndiyabona, kodwa xa ndidibana naye andinakukwazi ukumbuza: "Padre Pio, uhamba njani phezu kweentloko zabantu?" Le yimpendulo yakhe ehlakaniphile: "Ndiyakuqinisekisa, nyana wam, nje ngesitena ...".
Ebudeni beMisa yeS., inenekazi elithile lalisemgceni, phambi kukaPadre Pio owayenikela uMthendeleko kwabathembekileyo. Lathi lakufika ithuba lakhe, uPadre Pio waphakamisa uMamkeli ukuze awunike iNenekazi, elaziva litsaleleke phezulu, laphakanyiswa emhlabeni.
