Imbali yeSt
UJohn ungcwele ngenxa yokuba ubomi bakhe babungumzamo wobuqhawe wokuphila ngokuvisisana negama lakhe: "woMnqamlezo". Impambano yomnqamlezo yafezekiswa ngokuhamba kwexesha. "Ofuna ukundilandela makazikhanyele, athabathe umnqamlezo wakhe, andilandele" (Marko 8: 34b) libali lobomi bukaYohane. Imfihlelo yepasika - ngokufa kuye ebomini - iphawula kakhulu uJohn njengomhlaziyi, imbongi eyimfihlakalo kunye nomfundisi wezakwalizwi.
Wamiselwa umbingeleli waseKarmele ngo-1567 eneminyaka engama-25, uJohn wadibana noTeresa waseAvila, kwaye, njengaye, wazifunga kuMgaqo wokuqala wamaKarmele. Njengeqabane likaTeresa kwaye ngasekunene, uGiovanni wazibandakanya nomsebenzi wohlaziyo kwaye wafumana ixabiso lohlaziyo: ukukhula kwenkcaso, ukungaqondani, intshutshiso, ukuvalelwa. Wayewazi umnqamlezo ngentumekelelo, ukuba abone ukufa kukaYesu, njengoko wayehleli inyanga nenyanga kwisisele sakhe esimnyama, esifumileyo nesixineneyo enoThixo wakhe kuphela.
Ukanti, indida! Kule nto yokufa entolongweni, uGiovanni waphila, evakalisa imibongo. Ngobumnyama bentolongo, umoya kaJohn weza ekuKhanyeni. Zininzi iimfihlakalo, iimbongi ezininzi; UJohn wahlukile njengombongi oyindumasi, evakalisa ukuvalelwa kwakhe entolongweni yimincili yomanyano olufihlakeleyo noThixo ngengoma yokomoya.
Kodwa njengokuba iintlungu zikhokelela kukonwaba, ngokukaJohn wanyuka waya entabeni. IKarmele, njengoko wayibiza ngokuba ngumsebenzi wobugcisa. Njengomntu ongumKristu-waseKarmele, wafumana oku kunyuka kuye; njengomlawuli wokomoya, waziva kwabanye; njengesazi ngengqondo-isifundiswa, wayichaza wayihlalutya kwimibhalo yakhe yeprose. Imisebenzi yakhe yeprose ibalasele ekugxininiseni indleko zobufundi, indlela yomanyano noThixo: uqeqesho olungqongqo, ukushiya, ukucoca. U-John ukrwela umgca-ngqangi wevangeli ngendlela engavakaliyo neyomeleleyo: umnqamlezo ukhokelela eluvukweni, usizi kukuthabatheka, ubumnyama ekukhanyeni, ukushiya ubumnini, ukuzincama ukumanyana noThixo. Ukuba ufuna ukusindisa ubomi bakho, ukuphulukana nayo. Ngokwenene uYohane "nguMnqamlezo". Usweleke eneminyaka engama-49 ubudala: ubomi obufutshane kodwa obupheleleyo.
