Ummangaliso otshintshe ubomi bentombazana encinci ngonaphakade
ISere Teresa yaseLisieux akuzange kube njalo emva kweKrisimesi ka-1886.
U-Therese Martin wayengumntwana onenkani kunye nobuntwana. Umama wakhe uZelie wayekhathazeke kakhulu ngaye nangekamva lakhe. Wabhala kwileta: “Ngokubhekisele kuTherese, akukho nto ichazayo ukuba izakwenzeka njani, usemncinci kwaye akakhathali… inkani yakhe iphantse yoyiswa. Xa esithi hayi, akukho nto itshintsha ingqondo; ungayishiya kwigumbi elingaphantsi komhlaba imini yonke ngaphandle kokumenza athi ewe. Ukhetha ukulala khona ”.
Kwakufuneka itshintshe into. Ukuba akunjalo, uThixo uyazi kuphela into enokwenzeka.
Ngenye imini, nangona kunjalo, uTherese wenza isiganeko esiguqula ubomi, esenzeka ngo-Eva ka-Krisimasi ngo-1886, njengoko kubalisiwe kwimbali yakhe, Ibali lomphefumlo.
Wayeneminyaka eli-13 kwaye ebambelele ngenkani kwiziko leKrisimesi lentombazana encinci kude kube lelo xesha.
“Ukufika kwam eLes Buissonnets ukusukela ezinzulwini zobusuku, ndaqonda ukuba kufuneka ndikhangele izihlangu zam phambi kwendawo yokubasa umlilo, zizele zizipho, njengoko bendisoloko ndisenza oko ndisemncinci. Uyabona ke, bendisaphathwa njengentombazana encinci ”.
“Utata wayethanda ukubona indlela endonwabe ngayo kwaye nokuva ukukhala kwam kovuyo njengoko ndandivula isipho ngasinye kwaye uyolo lwakhe lwalundonwabisa ngakumbi. Kodwa lalifikile ixesha lokuba uYesu andiphilise kwasebuntwaneni; kwanezinto ezimyoli zokuba ngumntwana kwafuneka ziphele. Wavumela utata wam ukuba azive enomsindo kulo nyaka, endaweni yokuba andimoshe, kwaye ndathi ndinyuka ngezinyuko, ndamva esithi, "UTeresa bekufanele ukuba uphume zonke ezi zinto, kwaye ndiyathemba ukuba eli iya kuba lixesha lokugqibela.". Yandichukumisa le nto, noCéline, owayesazi ukuba ndinolwazelelelo kangakanani, wandihlebela wathi: 'Musa ukuphuma ngoku; Uyokhala kuphela xa uvula izipho zakho ngoku phambi kukatata '”.
Ngokwesiqhelo uTherese wayenokwenza kanye loo nto, akhale njengosana ngendlela yakhe yesiqhelo. Nangona kunjalo, ngeli xesha lahlukile.
“Kodwa ndandingasenguye la Teresa; UYesu wayenditshintshe ngokupheleleyo. Ndazibamba zazehlela iinyembezi zam, ndizama ukuthintela intliziyo yam ukubaleka, ndabaleka ndaya kwigumbi lokutyela. Ndathatha izihlangu zam ndavula izipho zam ngovuyo, ndihlala ndikhangeleka ndonwabile, njengendlovukazi. Utata wayengasabonakali enomsindo ngoku kwaye wayezonwabela. Kodwa eli ibingelophupha ”.
U-Therese wayebuyile ngonaphakade amandla awayephulukene nawo xa wayeneminyaka emine enesiqingatha ubudala.
U-Therese uza kuyibiza ngokuba "ngummangaliso weKrisimesi" kwaye yaphawula utshintsho ebomini bakhe. Yamtyhalela phambili kubudlelwane bakhe noThixo, kwaye kwiminyaka emibini kamva wajoyina i-odolo yoonongendi baseKarmele.
Wawubona ummangaliso njengesenzo sobabalo lukaThixo olwaphuphuma umphefumlo wakhe, emnika amandla kunye nesibindi sokwenza into eyinyani, elungileyo kwaye intle. Yayisisipho sakhe seKrisimesi esivela kuThixo kwaye sayitshintsha indlela awayejongela ngayo ubomi.
UTeresa waqonda ukuba kufuneka enze ntoni ukuthanda uThixo ngokusondeleyo kwaye washiya iindlela zakhe zobuntwana ukuba abe yintombi kaThixo yokwenyani.
