1. Ungubani uSanta Catherine weSiena?
   Ngo-2010, uPapa Benedict wabamba izethameli lapho axoxa khona ngamaqiniso ayisisekelo empilo yakhe:

Uzalelwe eSiena [e-Italy] ngonyaka ka-1347, emndenini omkhulu kakhulu, washona eRoma ngonyaka ka-1380.

Lapho uCatherine eneminyaka engu-16, eshukunyiswa umbono weSan Domenico, wangena kwi-Order yesi-XNUMX yeDominicans, igatsha labesifazane elaziwa ngokuthi iMantellate.

Ngenkathi ehlala ekhaya, usiqinisekisile isifungo sakhe sobuntombi asenziwa ngasese lapho esemncane futhi wazinikela emthandazweni, ekuphendukeni nasemisebenzini yokupha, ikakhulukazi ukuze kusizakale abagulayo.

Wayaziwa kusukela ezinsukwini zakhe zokuzalwa nokufa, waphila iminyaka engama-33 kuphela. Kodwa-ke, izinto eziningi zenzeka phakathi nokuphila kwakhe!

2. Kwenzekani ngemuva kokuba uSt. Catherine angenele inkolo?
   Izinto eziningi. USanta Catherine wayefunwa njengomqondisi wezomoya, futhi wabamba iqhaza ekuqedeni upapa ka-Avignon (lapho upapa, yize ayengumbhishobhi waseRoma, empeleni wayehlala e-Avignon, eFrance).

UPapa Benedict uyachaza:

Lapho udumo lobungcwele bakhe lusabalala, waba ngumphikisi womsebenzi oqondisayo ongokomoya kubantu bazo zonke izizinda zenhlalo: izicukuthwane nabezombusazwe, abaculi kanye nabantu abavamile, abantu abangcwelisiwe abesilisa nabesifazane nabezenkolo, kubandakanya uPapa Gregory XI owayehlala e Avignon kuleyo nkathi futhi owanxusa ngamandla nangempumelelo ukuthi abuyele eRoma.

Uhambe kakhulu ukugqugquzela ukuguqulwa kweBandla kwangaphakathi kanye nokukhuthaza ukuthula phakathi kwezifundazwe.

Kwakungenxa yalesi sizathu ukuthi uVenerable Pope John Paul II wakhetha ukumemezela uPatroness wakhe wase-Europe: kwangathi i-Old Continent ingalokothi ikhohlwe izimpande zobuKristu ezisekuqaleni kwenqubekela phambili yayo futhi iqhubeke nokuthola amagugu kwiVangeli eziyisisekelo eziqinisekisa ubulungiswa kanye nokuvumelana.

3. Wake wabhekana nokuphikiswa empilweni yakho?
   UPapa Benedict uyachaza:

Njengabaningi babangcwele, uCatherine wabhekana nokuhlupheka okukhulu.

Abanye babeze bacabange ukuthi bekungafanele bamethembe, kuze kuthi ngonyaka we-1374, eminyakeni eyisithupha ngaphambi kokushona kwakhe, iDominican General Chapter yambizela kuFlorence ukuze ayobuza imibuzo.

Babeka uRaymund waseCapua, inkulisa efundile futhi ethobekile kanye ne-General General of Order, njengomhlahlandlela wakhe ongokomoya.

Ngemuva kokuba ngumvumeli wakhe futhi "nendodana yakhe" engokomoya, wabhala i-biography yokuqala yabaNgcwele.

4. Ngabe ifa lakho lakhula kanjani ngokuhamba kwesikhathi?
   UPapa Benedict uyachaza:

Yabhaliswa ngo-1461.

Imfundiso kaCatherine, ofunde ukufunda nobunzima futhi wafunda ukubhala lapho esemdala, iqukethe ku-Dialogue of Divine Providence noma eNcwadi ye-Divine Doctrine, ubuciko bezincwadi ezingokomoya, ngokubhalelwa kwakhe nasekuqoqweni kwemithandazo yakhe. .

Imfundiso yakhe inobuhle kangangokuba ngo-1970 iNceku kaNkulunkulu uPaul VI yamemezela ukuthi uyiDokotela weSonto, isihloko esangezelelwa kulabo be-Co-Patroness of the City of Rome - at the bedom of the Blessed. I-pius IX - ne-Patroness yase-Italy - ngokwesinqumo seVenerable Pius XII.

5. USanta Catherine ubike ukuthi wayehlala "nomshado oyimfihlakalo" noJesu. Kwakuyini lokhu?
   UPapa Benedict uyachaza:

Embonweni obuhlala uhlala enhliziyweni nasengqondweni kaCatherine, uLwethu wethu wethule kuJesu omnikeze indandatho ebabazekayo, wathi kuye: 'Mina, uMdali noMsindisi wakho, ngizokushada ngokholo, oyohlala umsulwa kuze kube manje lapho ugubha umshado wakho waphakade nami ePharadesi '(Ubusisiwe uRaymond waseCapua, uSt. Catherine waseSiena, uLewela maior, nombolo 115, Siena 1998).

Le ring ibonakala kuye kuphela.

Kulesi siqephu esiyingqayizivele sibona isikhungo esibalulekile somqondo wenkolo kaCatherine kanye nawo wonke amaqiniso angokomoya: UChristocentrism.

Ngaye, uKristu wayefana nomlingani onobudlelwano obusondelene naye, inhlanganyelo kanye nokuthembeka; wayethandwa kakhulu amthanda ngaphezu kwakho konke okunye okuhle.

Lokhu kubumbana okukhulu neNkosi kuboniswa kwesinye isiqephu empilweni yalesi simanga esingajwayelekile: ukushintshana kwezinhliziyo.

Ngokusho kukaRaymond waseCapua owayedlulisa izimfihlo ezitholwe nguCatherine, INkosi uJesu yabonakala kuye "ebambe ezandleni ezingcwele inhliziyo yomuntu, ebomvu futhi icwebezela". Wamvulela wabeka inhliziyo yakhe ngaphakathi kuye wathi: 'Ndodakazi ethandekayo, ngenkathi ngisusa inhliziyo yakho ngolunye usuku, manje uyabona, ngikunikeza eyami, ukuze uqhubeke nokuphila nayo kuze kube phakade' (ibid.).

U-Catherine wayewaphila ngokweqiniso amazwi kaSanta Paul: "Akuseyona mina engiphilayo, kepha uKristu uhlala kimi" (Galathiya 2:20).

6. Yini esingayifunda kulokho esingakusebenzisa empilweni yethu?
   UPapa Benedict uyachaza:

Njengosanta weSienese, wonke amakholwa azizwa enesidingo sokuvumelana nemizwa yenhliziyo kaKristu yokuthanda uNkulunkulu nomakhelwane wakhe njengoba ezithanda uKrestu uqobo.

Futhi sonke singavumela izinhliziyo zethu ukuba ziguqulwe futhi zifunde ukuthanda njengoKristu ngokwazana naye okondliwa ngumkhuleko, ukuzindla ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu namasakramente, ikakhulukazi ngokuthola njalo iSidlo Esingcwele nokuzinikela.

U-Catherine naye ungowesixuku sabangcwele esizinikele e-Eucharist lapho ngaphetha khona incwadi yami ye-Apostolic Exhortation Sacramentum Caritatis (cf. N. 94).

Bafowethu kanye nodadewethu abathandekayo, i-Ekaristia iyisipho sothando esingajwayelekile uNkulunkulu asivuselela njalo ukuze ondle uhambo lwethu lokholo, aqinise ithemba lethu futhi akhanyise nesisa sethu, ukusenza sifane naye.

7. USanta Catherine uthole "isipho sezinyembezi". Kwakuyini lokhu?
   UPapa Benedict uyachaza:

Enye into engokomoya likaCatherine elixhunyaniswe nesipho sezinyembezi.

Ziveza ukuzwela okukhulu nokujulile, ikhono lokushukunyiswa nesisa.

Abangcwele abaningi babenesipho sezinyembezi, bavuselela imizwa kaJesu ngokwakhe ongazigodlanga noma efihla izinyembezi ethuneni lomngane wakhe uLazaru nobuhlungu bukaMariya noMartha noma ukubona kweJerusalema ngezinsuku zakhe zokugcina emhlabeni.

Ngokusho kukaCatherine, izinyembezi zabangcwele zihlangana negazi likaKristu, ayekhuluma ngalo ngamathoni anezithombe ezisebenza kahle.

8. U-Saint Catherine ngesinye isikhathi usebenzisa isithombe esifanekisela uKristu njengebhadi. Kusho ukuthini lesi sithombe?
   UPapa Benedict uyachaza:

Encwadini ethi Dialogue of Divine Providence, uchaza uKrestu, ngesithombe esingajwayelekile, njengebhuloho eliqalwe phakathi kweZulu nomhlaba.

Leli bhuloho lakhiwa izitebhisi ezinkulu ezintathu ezihlanganisa izinyawo, uhlangothi nomlomo kaJesu.

Ukuvuka kulezi zikali umphefumulo udlula kulezi zigaba ezintathu zendlela ngayinye yokungcweliswa: ukususwa esonweni, umkhuba wobuntu nothando, ubumnandi obunothando nobunye noNkulunkulu.

Bafowethu kanye nodadewethu abathandekayo, masifunde kuSanta Catherine ukuthanda uKristu neBandla ngesibindi, kakhulu nangobuqotho.

Ngakho-ke senza amazwi ethu weSilo uCatherine esiwafunda ku-Dialogue of Divine Providence ekugcineni kwesahluko esikhuluma ngoKristu njengebhadi: 'Ngomusa usigezile ngeGazi lakhe, ngesihe ubufisa ukuxoxa nezidalwa. Hawu uhlanya nothando! Kwakunganele ukuthi uthathe inyama, kepha futhi ubufuna nokufa! ... O nesihe! Inhliziyo yami iyajuluka ngicabanga ngawe: noma ngabe ngiphendukela kuphi ukucabanga, ngithola isihe kuphela ”(Isahluko 30, iphe. 79-80).
