Imbali kaSanta André Bessette
Umzalwana uAndré uvakalise ukholo lwasanta ngokuzinikela ubomi bakhe bonke kuSanta Joseph.
Ukugula kunye nokuba buthathaka kuye kwamkhathaza uAndré kwasekuzalweni kwakhe. Wayengowesibhozo kwabantwana abali-12 abazalwa ngamaqabane aseFrance-Canada ngaseMontreal. Ukwamkelwe njenge-12, ekufeni kwabo bobabini abazali, waba ngumsebenzi wasefama. Kwalandela imisebenzi eyahlukeneyo: umenzi wezihlangu, umbhaki wezonka, umkhandi weentsimbi: konke ukusilela. Wayengumsebenzi wefektri eUnited States ngexesha lokuduma kweMfazwe yamakhaya.
Kwiminyaka engama-25, uAndré wacela ukungena kwiBandla laseSanta Croce. Emva konyaka we-novitiate, akazange amkelwe ngenxa yempilo yakhe enkenenkene. Kodwa ngolwandiso kunye nokucela ubishophu uBourget, ekugqibeleni yafunyanwa. Wanikwa umsebenzi othobekileyo wokucoca i-Notre Dame College eMontreal, kunye nemisebenzi eyongezelelweyo njenge-sacristan, i-washerman kunye nomthunywa. "Ukungena kwam kule ndawo, abaphathi bandibonisa umnyango ndaza ndahlala iminyaka engama-40," utshilo.
Kwigumbi lakhe elincinci elingasemnyango, wachitha ubusuku bonke eguqe ngamadolo. Kwifestile esefestileni, ejongene neNtaba yeRoyal, yayingumfanekiso omncinane ka-Saint Joseph, awayezinikele kuye ukususela ebuntwaneni. Xa ebuzwa malunga nayo, wathi, "Ngenye imini, uSanta Joseph uza kuwongwa ngendlela ekhethekileyo eMount Royal!"
Xa yeva ukuba umntu uyagula, yamndwendwela ukuya konwaba kunye nokuthandaza kunye nabagulayo. Wayithambisa kancinci indoda egulayo ngeoyile kwisibane esikhanyisiweyo kwindlu yasekholejini. Ilizwi lamandla okuphilisa laqala ukusasazeka.
Xa kwaqhambuka ubhubhani kwikholeji ekufuphi, uAndré wavuma ukuya kunyanga. Akufanga mntu. Ukuntywila kwabantu abagulayo emnyango wakhe kwaba ngunogumbe. Abaphathi bakhe babengakhululekanga; abasemagunyeni bebonke babekrokrela; Oogqirha bambiza ngokuba ngumkhohlisi. "Andikhathali," watsho ephindaphinda. "UYosefu uyaphilisa." Ekugqibeleni wafuna oonobhala abane ukuba baphathe iileta ezingama-80.000 awayezifumana minyaka le.
Kwiminyaka emininzi abasemagunyeni be-Holy Cross babezama ukuthenga umhlaba kwi-Mount Royal. UMzalwan 'uAndré nabanye benyuka induli baza batyala iimbasa zeSanta Joseph. Ngequbuliso, abaninizo banikezela. UAndré wakhulisa i-200 yeedola ukwakha i-chapel encinci kwaye waqala ukwamkela iindwendwe apho, encumile ngeeyure ezinde zokumamela, esebenzisa ioyile yaseSt. Abanye baye banyangwa, abanye abanyanga. Imfumba yeentonga, imisimelelo kunye neebreyisi zakhula.
Icawe ikhulile. Ngo-1931, kwakukho iindonga ezibengezelayo, kodwa imali yaphela. “Beka umfanekiso oqingqiweyo kaSt. Joseph embindini. Ukuba ufuna uphahla phezu kwentloko yakhe, uya kuyifumana. “Kuthathe iminyaka engama-50 ukwakha intaba entle yeOrlando Oratory. Inkwenkwe egulayo engakwazanga ukugcina umsebenzi isweleke ineminyaka engama-92.
Ungcwatyelwe kwi-Oratory. Wabethwa ubuqaqawuli ngonyaka ka-1982 kwaye wabekwa njengowamkelweyo ngo-2010. Kumsitho wakhe wobu-canada ngo-Okthobha u-2010, uPopu Benedict XVI waqinisekisa ukuba u-Saint Andrew "wayephila ulonwabo lwentliziyo emsulwa".
Ukucingisisa
Hlikihla amalungu agulayo ngeoyile okanye imbasa? Ukutyala imbasa ukuthenga umhlaba? Ayizonkolelo na ezi? Ngaba asikayigqibi ixesha elithile? Abantu abaneenkolelo baxhomekeke kuphela "kumlingo" welizwi okanye isenzo. I-oyile kunye neembasa zika-Mzalwana u-André yayiziisakramente eziyinyani zokholo olulula nolupheleleyo kuBawo ozivumela ukuba ancedwe ngabangcwele bakhe ukuba asikelele abantwana bakhe.
