Ingcwele yosuku lukaFebruwari 16: ibali laseSan Gilberto
UGilberto wazalelwa eSempringham, eNgilani, kwiintsapho ezizizityebi, kodwa walandela indlela eyahluke kakhulu kwinto eyayilindelwe kuye njengonyana womnumzana uNorman. Kuthunyelwe eFrance kwimfundo yakhe ephezulu, wagqiba ekubeni aqhubeke nezifundo zakhe zobufundisi. Ubuyele eNgilane engekamiselwa njengomfundisi, kwaye wazuza njengelifa iipropathi ezininzi kuyise. Kodwa uGilberto wabuphepha ubomi obulula awayenokubuphila kwezo meko. Endaweni yoko waphila ubomi obulula eparishini, esabelana kangangoko namahlwempu. Emva kokumiselwa kwakhe njengombingeleli wakhonza njengomfundisi eSempringham. Phakathi kwebandla kwakukho abafazi abancinci abasixhenxe ababonakalise umnqweno kuye wokuphila ubomi benkolo. Ukuphendula, uGilberto wabakhela indlu ekufuphi necawa. Apho bahlala ubomi bokuzonwabisa, kodwa obutsala amanani amaninzi nangakumbi; ekugqibeleni kwaleleka oodade nabantakwabo abasebenza phantsi komhlaba. Inkqubo yenkolo eyenziwe ekugqibeleni yaziwa ngokuba yiGilbertini, nangona uGilbert wayenethemba lokuba iiCistercians okanye omnye umthetho okhoyo uya kuthatha uxanduva lokumisela umthetho wobomi kulo myalelo mtsha. IGilbertini, ekuphela kocwangco lwenkolo yesiNgesi eyasekwa ngexesha lamaXesha Aphakathi, yaqhubeka ikhula. Kodwa lo myalelo waphela xa uKumkani uHenry VIII wacinezela onke amakhaya oonongendi.
Kule minyaka, isiko elikhethekileyo likhule ezindlwini zodolo olubizwa ngokuba "sisitya seNkosi uYesu". Ezona ndawo zibalaseleyo zesidlo sangokuhlwa zazibekwa kwisitya esikhethekileyo kwaye kwabelwana ngaso namahlwempu, kubonisa inkxalabo kaGilbert kwabo bangathathi ntweni. Kubo bonke ubomi bakhe uGilberto wayephila ngendlela elula, esitya ukutya okuncinci kwaye echitha ixesha elininzi lobusuku emthandazweni. Ngaphandle kobunzima bobomi obunje, usweleke ngaphezu kwe-100. Umboniso: Ukungena kwakhe kubutyebi bukayise, uGilberto ngewayephila ubomi obutofotofo, njengoko uninzi lwabanye ababingeleli lwalusenza ngelo xesha. Endaweni yokuba akhethe ukwabelana ngobutyebi bakhe namahlwempu. Umkhwa onomdla wokugcwalisa "isitya seNkosi uYesu" kumakhaya oonongendi awamisileyo wabonakalisa inkxalabo yakhe. Umsebenzi weRice Bowl wanamhlanje uchaza loo mkhwa: ukutya ukutya okulula kunye nokuvumela umahluko kwibhili yokutya kuncede ukondla abalambileyo.
