06 FEBRUARY SAN PAOLO MIKI kanye NAMAHHALA
UMTHANDAZO KUMABHAYIBHELI
O Nkulunkulu, mandla abafel 'ukholo, obabizele uSt.Paul Miki nabangane bakhe enkazimulweni yaphakade ngokubulawa kwesiphambano, sinikeze nathi ngokuncenga kwabo ukufakaza empilweni nasekufeni ekukholweni kobhapathizo lwethu. YeNkosi yethu ...
UPaolo Miki wayeyilungu leSociety of Jesus; uhlonishwa iSonto LamaKatolika njengongcwele nomfel 'ukholo.
Wafa ebethelwe esiphambanweni ngesikhathi sokushushiswa okulwa nobuKristu eJapan: wamenyezelwa njengongcwele nguPapa Pius IX kanye nabangane abangama-25 bokufel 'ukholo.
Wazalelwa eduze kwaseKyōto evela emndenini ohloniphekile waseJapan, wathola ukubhapathizwa eneminyaka engu-5 futhi wangena kumaJesuit njengomuntu osemusha eneminyaka engama-22: wafunda emakolishi e-oda lika-Azuchi naseTakatsuki futhi waba ngumvangeli; wayengeke agcotshwe abe ngumfundisi ngenxa yokungabikho kombhishobhi eJapan.
Ukusabalala kobuKristu ekuqaleni kwabekezelelwa yiziphathimandla zendawo, kodwa ngo-1587 daimyō Toyotomi Hideyoshi washintsha isimo sakhe sengqondo ngabaseNtshonalanga futhi wakhipha isimemezelo sokuxosha izithunywa zevangeli zakwamanye amazwe.
Ubutha obumelene ne-Yurophu bufinyelele umvuthwandaba wabo ngo-1596, lapho kwaqala ukushushiswa kwabaseNtshonalanga, cishe bonke abantu benkolo, namaKristu, ababhekwa njengamambuka. NgoDisemba walowo nyaka, uPaolo Miki waboshwa kanye nabanye abalingani bakhe baseJapan abasebenza naye, amafriji ayisithupha ezithunywa zevangeli zaseSpain kanye nabafundi babo bendawo abayishumi nesikhombisa, izikhungo zemfundo ephakeme zaseFranciscan.
Babethelwa esiphambanweni eTateyama Hill, ngaseNagasaki. Ngokwe-passio, uPaul waqhubeka nokushumayela nasesiphambanweni, waze wafa.
