Incwadi yemibuzo kanye nemfundiso yenkolo yeSanta Brigida
Incwadi yesihlanu Yezambulo, ebizwa ngokuthi yiNcwadi Yemibuzo, ihluke kakhulu futhi ihluke ngokuphelele kwezinye: ingumbhalo ofanele wemfundiso kaSanta Brigid. Kungumphumela wombono omude owaba nawo lapho esehlala eSweden nasendlini yezindela yase-Alvastra, lapho ayezinze khona ngemuva kokushona komyeni wakhe, wayehamba egibele ihhashi enqabeni yase-Vadstena inkosi eyayimnike yona isihlalo sokuhleleka koMsindisi oNgcwelengcwele.
Umbhishobhi waseSpain u-Alfonso Pecha de Vadaterra, umbhali wesingeniso sale ncwadi, uthi uBrigida wavele waquleka futhi wabona isitebhisi eside esasiqala phansi saze safika esibhakabhakeni lapho uKristu wayehleli khona esihlalweni sobukhosi njengomahluleli, ezungezwe izingelosi nabangcwele, neNtombi ezinyaweni zayo. Ezitebhisini bekukhona indela, umuntu ofundile uBrigida amaziyo kodwa ongabizwa ngegama; wakhombisa ukuvuvukala kakhulu futhi waba novalo futhi waqinisa ukubuzwa imibuzo ku-Kristu, owayemphendula ngesineke.
Imibuzo ebuzwa yi-monki eNkosini yileso okungenzeka ukuthi ngamunye wethu, okungenani kanye empilweni yethu, siyabuza ngobukhona bukaNkulunkulu nokuziphatha komuntu, kuyo yonke imibuzo efana nale uBrigida azibuze yona noma azibuze yona. Ngakho-ke incwadi yemibuzo iwuhlobo lwenkomba yokholo lobuKristu kubantu abanokholo olungenakunyakaziswa, umbhalo ongumuntu kakhulu futhi osondelene kakhulu nomphefumlo wanoma ngubani obuza ngokungathi sína futhi ngobuqotho ngezinkinga ezinkulu zempilo, ukholo kanye nesiphelo sethu.
Siyazi ukuthi, esefikile eVadstena, uBrigida wavuswa yizinceku zakhe; wayezisola, ngoba ngabe wayekhetha ukuhlala kusimo esingokomoya lapho azithola egxilile khona. Kepha konke kwakusele kahle engqondweni yakhe, ngakho-ke wakwazi ukubhala phansi kungakabiphi.
E-monk ekhuphuka isitebhisi abaningi bayibonile inkosi uMatias, isazi semfundiso yenkolo enkulu, umbhali wokuqala kaBrigida; abanye ngumbhalo ojwayelekile waseDominican (emibhalweni emincane yesandla indela imelwe ngomkhuba waseDominican), uphawu lokuziqhenya ngokwengqondo, kepha, uJesu, ngokuqonda okukhulu nokuphana, unikeza zonke izimpendulo. Nakhu ukuthi ingxoxo yethulwa kanjani:
Kwenzeka kanyekanye ukuthi uBrigida wahamba egibele amahhashi eVadstena ephelezelwa ngabangane bakhe abaningana, nabo ababegibele amahhashi. Futhi njengoba wayegibela waphakamisa umoya kuNkulunkulu futhi ngokushesha wathathwa futhi wahlukaniswa nezinzwa ngendlela yobunye, wamiswa ekucabangeni. Wabona-ke njengeladi elenzelwe phansi, phezulu kwalo elathinta isibhakabhaka; futhi eziphakemeyo zezulu wabona INkosi yethu uJesu Kristu ehlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi esimangalisayo nesithandekayo, njengomahluleli wokwahlulela; ezinyaweni zakhe kwakunguNcasakazi uMariya futhi nxazonke zesihlalo sobukhosi kwakuneqembu elingenakubalwa lezingelosi nomhlangano omkhulu wabangcwele.
Ngehora makhuphuke isitebhisi wabona umuntu okholwayo owayemazi futhi ephila namanje, ongumhlaziyi wemfundiso yenkolo, isiphetho nomkhohlisi, egcwele ubugqi boDeveli, owathi ngokuboniswa kobuso bakhe nangendlela yakhe wakhombisa ukuthi wayephelelwe isineke, wayedemoni kakhulu kunenkolo. Wabona imicabango nemizwa yangaphakathi yaleyo nkolo nokuthi wazwakalisa kanjani kuJesu Kristu ... Futhi wabona futhi wezwa ukuthi uJesu Kristu umahluleli wayiphendula kanjani le mibuzo ngobumnene nangokweqiniso ngobungqondo nangobuhlakani nokuthi kanjani manje naseNkosikazini yethu washo amazwi ambalwa eya eBrigida.
Kepha lapho umsizi esekhulelwe okuqukethwe yile ncwadi ngokomoya, kwenzeka ukuthi wafika kule nqaba. Abangani bakhe bamise ihhashi bazama ukumvusa ekuthunjweni kwakhe futhi waxolisa ukuthi ubephucwe ubumnandi obunjalo baphezulu.
Le ncwadi yemibuzo yahlala ingene enhliziyweni yakhe nasenkumbulweni yakhe sengathi ibhalwe ngemabula. Wayibhala masinyane ngolimi lwayo olunenhlamba, avuma ngalo kamuva ukuthi wavuma ukuhumushela olimini lwesiLatini, njengoba nje ayehumushele ezinye izincwadi ...
INcwadi yemibuzo iqukethe imibuzo eyishumi nesithupha, ngayinye ihlukaniswe yaba yimibuzo emine, emihlanu noma eyisithupha, umbuzo ngamunye ophendulwa nguJesu ngokuningiliziwe.
