INgcwele yosuku: USanta Agnes waseBohemia
INgcwele yosuku, uSaint Agnes waseBohemia: UAgnes wayengenabantwana bakhe, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo wayenika ubomi kubo bonke ababemazi. UAgnes wayeyintombi kaKumkanikazi uConstance kunye noKumkani u-Ottokar I waseBohemia. Wayeganelwe kuMlawuli waseSilesia, owasweleka kwiminyaka emithathu kamva. Ukukhula, wagqiba ekubeni ufuna ukungena kwinkolo.
Emva kokwala ukutshata noKumkani uHenry VII waseJamani kunye noKing Henry III waseNgilani, uAgnes wajongana nesicelo esivela kuFrederick II, uMlawuli oyiNgcwele waseRoma. Wacela uncedo kuPopu Gregory IX. Upopu wayeyisela; UFrederick wathetha ngobukhulu esithi ngekhe akhubeke ukuba uAgnes ukhetha uKumkani weZulu kuye.
Emva kokwakha isibhedlele sabangathathi ntweni kunye neefriars, uAgnes waxhasa ngezimali ukwakhiwa kweemonki ePoor Clares ePrague. Ngo-1236, yena nabanye abasixhenxe ababhinqileyo ababekekileyo bangena kweli khaya leemonki. USanta Chiara wathumela oonongendi abahlanu baseSan Damiano ukuba bazibandakanye nabo kwaye wabhala iileta ezine eziya ku-Agnes bemcebisa ngobuhle bobizo lwakhe kunye nemisebenzi yakhe yokungazi.
UAgnes waziwa ngokuthandaza, intobeko nobubi. Uxinzelelo lukaPopu lwamnyanzela ukuba alwamkele unyulo lwakhe njengonganyanisekanga, nangona kunjalo isihloko awasithandayo yayingu "dade omdala". Ukuma kwakhe akuzange kumthintele ekuphekeleni abanye oodade nasekulungiseni iimpahla zabantu abaneqhenqa. Oonongendi bamfumana enobubele kodwa engqongqo kakhulu malunga nokuqwalaselwa kwendlala; Wala umnikelo wobhuti wasebukhosini wokuseka isipho semonastri. Ukuzinikela ku-Agnes kwavela kwangoko emva kokubhubha kwakhe, ngomhla we-6 kweyoKwindla ngo-1282. Wabekwa njengomphefumlo ngo-1989.
INgcwele yosuku, uSanta Agnes waseBohemia: ukubonakalisa
U-Agnes uchithe ubuncinci iminyaka engama-45 kwikhaya leemonki le-Poor Clares. Obu bomi bufuna umonde nothando oluninzi. Isilingo sokuzingca ngokuqinisekileyo asizange simke xa uAgnes wangena kumzi woonongendi. Mhlawumbi kulula kuthi ukucinga ukuba oonongendi “bayenza” ngokubhekiselele kubungcwele. Umendo wabo uyafana nowethu: ngokuthe ngcembe ukutshintshana kwemilinganiselo yethu - utyekelo lokuzingca - ngemilinganiselo kaThixo yesisa.
