Umxhasi weenkedama nabantwana abalahliweyo
Wayenombulelo ngonaphakade emva kokusinda ekudibaneni nokufa
Ngonyaka we-1202, umfana osisityebi wase-Italiya wajoyina umkhosi wamahashe wesixeko sakhe. Amajoni angenamava aya emfazweni ngokuchasene nomkhosi omkhulu wedolophu ekufuphi kwaye atshatyalaliswa. Uninzi lwamajoni abuyayo abethwa ngemikhonto aza ashiyeka efile eludakeni. Kodwa ubuncinci basinda. Wayengumntu ohloniphekileyo owayenxibe iimpahla ezintle kunye nezixhobo ezintsha kunye nexabiso eliphezulu. Kufanelekile ukuthimba intlawulelo. Ibanjwa lasokola kwintolongo emnyama kwaye ilusizi unyaka wonke phambi kokuba utata wakhe enze intlawulo yokukhululwa kwakhe. Indoda eguqukileyo ibuyele kowabo. Eso sixeko sasiseAssisi. Indoda leyo yayinguFrancesco.
Ingcwele yanamhlanje, uJerome Emiliani, unyamezele into efanayo. Wayelijoni kwisixeko saseVenice kwaye wamiselwa njengomphathi wenqaba. Kwidabi lokulwa neligi yamazwe, inqaba yawa kwaye uJerome wavalelwa. Ikhonkco elinzima lalisongelwe entanyeni, ezandleni nasezinyaweni laze lancanyathiselwa kwisiqwenga esikhulu semabhile kwintolongo engaphantsi komhlaba. Wayelityelwe, eyedwa, kwaye ephathwa njengesilwanyana ebumnyameni entolongweni. Le yayiyeyona ngongoma ibalulekileyo. Uye waguquka ngobomi bakhe ngaphandle kukaThixo.Wathandaza wazinikela kwiNkosazana yethu. Kwaye, ngandlela thile, wasinda, wabopha imixokelelwane yamatyathanga wabalekela kwidolophu ekufutshane. Wayehamba ngeminyango yecawa yasekuhlaleni kwaye waya phambili ukuzalisekisa isifungo esitsha. Uye wacotha waya kwiVirgin ehlonitshwayo kwaye wabeka imixokelelwane yakhe esibingelelweni phambi kwakhe. Waguqa ngamadolo wathandaza.
Amanye amanqaku eepivot anokujika umgca wobomi ngokuthe tye. Obunye ubomi butshintsha kancinci, bugoba njengesaphetha kwisithuba seminyaka. Ukusilela okuvezwe nguSt.Francis waseAssisi kunye neSt Jerome Emiliani kwenzeka ngesiquphe. La madoda ayekhululekile, enemali, kwaye exhaswa ziintsapho kunye nabahlobo. Ke, ngelishwa, behamba ze, bebodwa kwaye bebotshelelwe. USanta Jerome wayenokuphelelwa lithemba ekuthinjweni kwakhe. Baninzi abantu abenzayo. Wayenokumlahla uThixo, akuqonde ukubandezeleka kwakhe njengophawu lokungathandwa nguThixo, abe nomsindo kwaye anikezele. Kunoko, wanyamezela. Ukuvalelwa kwakhe yayisisihlambululo. Wanika injongo yakhe yokubandezeleka. Nje ukuba akhululeke, wayefana nomntu ozelwe ngokutsha, enombulelo kuba amatyathanga entolongo enzima engasalingisi umzimba wakhe phantsi.
Nje ukuba aqale ukubaleka kuloo nqaba yasentolongweni, kwakungathi uSanta Jerome akazange ayeke ukubaleka. Wafunda, wamiselwa njengombingeleli kwaye wahamba wonke uMantla e-Italiya esungula iinkedama, izibhedlele kunye namakhaya abantwana abalahliweyo, abafazi abawileyo kunye nabasetyhini abahlelelekileyo kuzo zonke iintlobo. Esebenzisa ubufundisi bakhe eYurophu kutshanje eyahlulwe ngamahlelo amaProtestanti, uJerome wabhala mhlawumbi ikatekizim yokuqala yemibuzo neempendulo ukuze abethelele imfundiso yamaKatolika kwizityholo zakhe. Njengabaninzi abangcwele, wayebonakala ekuyo yonke indawo ngaxeshanye, ekhathalela wonke umntu ngaphandle kwakhe. Ngoxa wayenyamekela abagulayo, wosulelwa waza wafa ngowe-1537, umfeli-nkolo ngenxa yesisa. Ewe, wayeluhlobo lomntu otsala abalandeli. Ekugqibeleni babumba ibandla lenkolo kwaye bafumana imvume ecaweni ngo-1540.
Ubomi bakhe buxhomekeke kwisiseko. Sisifundo esibuhlungu ngokwasemzimbeni, ngokwasemzimbeni, okanye ngokwasengqondweni, xa yoyisiwe okanye silawulwa, inokuba sisandulela sombulelo omkhulu kunye nesisa. Akukho mntu uhamba ngokukhululekileyo esitratweni kunangaphambili. Akukho mntu uyithandayo ibhedi efudumeleyo, ekhululekile njengomntu owayekhe walala nge-asphalt. Akukho mntu uthatha umoya opholileyo wakusasa njengomntu osandula kuva kugqirha ukuba umhlaza uphelile. USt Jerome akazange aphulukane nommangaliso kunye nombulelo owagcwalisa intliziyo yakhe ngexesha lokukhululwa kwakhe. Yonke into ibintsha. Wayemncinci yena. Ihlabathi belilelakhe. Kwaye wayeya kubeka onke amandla akhe namandla akhe enkonzweni kaThixo kuba wayengumntu osindileyo.

Nceda bonke abo bavalelwe ngandlela thile- ngokwasemzimbeni, ngokwasezimalini, ngokwasemphefumlweni, ngokwasemoyeni nangokwasengqondweni- boyise nantoni na ebabophelelayo kwaye baphile ubomi ngaphandle kobukrakra.
