Imbali yeSant'Ambrogio
Omnye wababhali ngobomi buka-Ambrose uqaphele ukuba ngeSigwebo sokuGqibela abantu baya kuhlala bohlule phakathi kwabo bamthandayo u-Ambrose kunye nabo bamthiyileyo. Uvela njengendoda yesenzo esike umsele kubomi bexesha lakhe. Nabalinganiswa basebukhosini babalwa phakathi kwabo bajongana nezohlwayo zikaThixo zokuthintela u-Ambrose.
Xa uKumkanikazi uJustina wazama ukuxhwila ii-basilica ezimbini kumaKatolika e-Ambrose kwaye wazinika ama-Arians, wacela umngeni kumathenwa enkundla ukuba ambulale. Abantu bakhe bahlanganisana emva kwakhe phambi komkhosi wamajoni. Phakathi kolo qhushululu, wavuselela kwaye wathulisa abantu bakhe ngokudumisa amaculo amatsha kwiingoma ezimnandi zaseMpuma.
Kwiingxabano zakhe noMlawuli uAuxentius, waqulunqa lo mthetho-siseko: "Umlawuli useCaweni, hayi ngaphezulu kweCawe". Ulumkise esidlangalaleni u-Emperor Theodosius ngokubulawa kwabantu abamsulwa abangama-7.000. Umlawuli wenza isohlwayo esidlangalaleni ngolwaphulo mthetho. Yayingu-Ambrose, umlweli owathunyelwa eMilan njenge-rhuluneli yase-Roma kwaye wanyulwa ngela xesha wayese-katekhumeni njengobhishophu wabantu.
Kukho enye inkalo ka-Ambrose, leyo yathonya u-Augustine waseHippo, owaguqulwa ngu-Ambrose. U-Ambrose wayeyindoda encinci enomdla kunye nebunzi eliphakamileyo, ubuso obude obunamehlo kunye namehlo amakhulu. Singamcinga njengomntu obuthathaka ophethe ikhowudi yeZibhalo eziNgcwele. Le yayiyi-Ambrose yelifa lemveli kunye nenkcubeko.
U-Agostino ufumene i-Ambrose's oratory engaphantsi kwaye ingonwabisi, kodwa ifundile ngakumbi kunaleyo yabanye abantu. Iintshumayelo zika-Ambrose zazihlala zilandelwa kuCicero kwaye izimvo zakhe zazingcatsha ifuthe labacingeli beli xesha kunye nezithandi zobulumko. Wayengenazintlungu zokuboleka ababhali babahedeni ixesha elide. Wayeqhayisa epulpitini ngokukwazi kwakhe ukubonisa amaxhoba akhe - "igolide yama-Egypt" - efunyanwa zizithandi zobulumko zobuhedeni.
Iintshumayelo zakhe, imibhalo kunye nobomi bobuqu buveza kuye njengendoda yasemhlabeni ebandakanyeka kwimicimbi emikhulu yomhla wakhe. Ubuntu buka-Ambrose babungaphezu kwawo onke umoya. Ukucinga ngokuchanekileyo ngoThixo nangomphefumlo womntu, eyona nto ikufutshane noThixo, umntu akunyanzelekanga ukuba ahlale kuyo nayiphi na into ebonakalayo. Wayeyintshatsheli enomdla wobunyulu obungcwalisiweyo.
Impembelelo ka-Ambrose ku-Augustine iya kuhlala ivulekile kwingxoxo. I-Confessions ibonisa ukuhlangana okuhle kunye ngokukhawuleza phakathi kuka-Ambrose no-Augustine, kodwa akungabazeki ukuba u-Augustine wayexabisa kakhulu ubhishophu ofundileyo.
Kwaye akukho mathandabuzo okuba uSanta Monica wayemthanda u-Ambrose njengengelosi kaThixo eyamsusa unyana wakhe kwiindlela zakhe zangaphambili wamkhokelela kwinkolelo yakhe ngoKristu. Yayingu-Ambrose, ngapha koko, owabeka izandla zakhe emagxeni ka-Augustine ehamba ze njengoko wayesihla kwindawo yokubhaptiza enxiba uKristu.
Ukucingisisa
U-Ambrose ungumzekelo wethu kubuKrestu bobuKrestu. Yindoda egxile kwinkcubeko, emthethweni nakwinkcubeko yabantu bamandulo nababephila ngexesha lakhe. Nangona kunjalo, phakathi kokuzibandakanya okusebenzayo kweli hlabathi, le ngcinga ibaleka kubomi buka-Ambrose kunye nokushumayela: Intsingiselo efihliweyo yeZibhalo ibiza umoya wethu ukuba uvukele kwelinye ilizwe.
