Ukugcina ukholo naphezu kohlobo olubi kakhulu lwezono
Kulula ukuphelelwa lithemba lapho kufika izindaba zokunye ukuhlukumezeka ngokocansi kodwa ukholo lwethu lusedlula esonweni.
Ngokushesha ngazizwa ngamukelekile eMichigan State University. Ochwepheshe bezentatheli yami banginikeza amathuluzi engangiwafuna ukuze ngiphumelele emsebenzini wami futhi ngathola abangane abakhulu. Ngize ngathola isonto elihle lamaKatolika phakathi nokuhamba ibanga lelo khampasi - iSt. John Church and Student Center, okuyingxenye yesifunda iSt. Thomas Aquinas edokodweni laseLansing. Ngikujabulele ukuya masonto onke ngempelasonto ukuze ngiphumule ngokomqondo kwikharikhulamu yami eyayimatasa.
Kepha ukuziqhenya kwami kwe-Spartan kwehla lapho ezwa ngezono ezimbi ezenziwa uLarry Nassar, owayengudokotela wamathambo we-MSU nowayengudokotela weqembu lesizwe laseMelika lokuzivocavoca. UNassar udonsa isigwebo seminyaka engama-60 sesejele sokuya ocansini nezingane. Waphinde watholwa enecala lokufika eminyakeni engu-175 ejele lokuhlukumeza amantombazane amancane angama-300, kubandakanya nezindawo zokuzivocavoca ezisezingeni eliphezulu kuma-Olimpiki, ngecala lokuziphatha kwakhe kwezokwelapha ekuqaleni kuka-1992. omama womoya wami babegcwele ezenzweni zikaNassar futhi baba neqhaza ekulimaleni kwamakhulu abantu.
Futhi ngakhathazeka kakhulu lapho ngizwa ukuthi uNassar ubuye wakhonza njengomfundisi we-Eucharistic esontweni laseSt. John, indawo lapho mina namanye amaKatolika aseSpartan siya khona ukuze sizizwe siphephile futhi sondlekile ngokomoya e-East Lansing.
ULarry Nassar wakhonza ngamalungu omzimba womzimba negazi likaKristu eliligugu. Hhayi lokho kuphela, wayebuye abe Katekisthi wamabanga aphakathi esifundeni esiseduze saseSt.
Angikwazi ukusho ngokuqinisekile uma mina noNassar sawela izindlela eSt John, kodwa kukhona ithuba elihle esikwenzile.
Ngeshwa, lesi akusikho okokuqala ukuthi ngihlangane nokuhlukumezeka esontweni. Ngazakhela ubungane nothile kule phherishi engangiya kulo njengomfundi e-University of Valparaiso ngemuva kokuba ngihlangane endaweni yokubuyela esontweni ngathatha izifundo ezimbalwa ndawonye. Lokho wukuthi, ngaze ngathola ukuthi uboshelwe ukuhlukumeza umzala wakhe ngokocansi. Ngazizwa ngifikelwa yintukuthelo efanayo nokwenyanya ngaleso sikhathi. Futhi ngokweqiniso ngiyazazi izisulu zokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi kwabaphristi abakhathaze iSonto lamaKhatholika. Kodwa-ke ngisaqhubeka nokusebenza ngobuningi futhi ngakhe ubudlelwano namalungu ebandla lami.
Kungani amaKatolika eqhubeka nokulandela ukukholwa ngayo yonke imibiko yezono ezimbi ezenziwa abanye babaphristi nabesonto?
Masihambe siye enkulumweni yokugubha uMthendeleko kanye nokuthethelelwa kwezono, inhliziyo yokholo lwethu. Umgubho akuyona ukuzinikela kwangasese, kodwa okuthile okwabiwe nomphakathi wethu wamaKatolika. UJesu akekho emzimbeni wakhe nasegazini kuphela esilidla ngesikhathi se-Eucharist, kodwa ezwini likaNkulunkulu elidlula sonke. Kungalesi sizathu esibuhlungu lapho sizwa ukuthi othile emphakathini wethu uye wangayinaki ngamabomu intsingiselo yawo futhi wona ngaphandle kokuphenduka.
Ngiyavuma ukuthi ukholo lwami kwesinye isikhathi luba buthaka futhi ngizizwe ngiphelelwa amandla lapho ngifunda amacala amasha okuhlukumeza ngokocansi esontweni. Kepha ngiduduzekile ngabantu nezinhlangano ezingenelela ukuxhasa abasindile nokuvikela iziqeshana zokuhlukumezeka esikhathini esizayo. Isibonelo, i-diocese yaseBrooklyn yasungula iHhovisi Lokusiza Abahlaseli, elinikeza amaqembu okusekela, ukwelulekwa nezinkomba zokwelapha izisulu zokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi. UNicholas DiMarzio, umbhishobhi wesifunda-bhishobhi saseBrooklyn, ugubha inqwaba yethemba nokuphulukiswa kunoma ngubani ohlukunyezwa ngokocansi minyaka yonke ngo-Ephreli, inyanga kazwelonke yokuvikela ukuhlukunyezwa kwezingane.
Ingqungquthela YabaBhishobhi BaseMelika United States inohlu lwabaxhumanisi abasiza abahlukumezekile, imininingwane yabo yokuxhumana, kanye nedayikhodi abayimelele online. Ababhishobhi baseMelika balule abazali bezisulu ukuba babize amaphoyisa endawo noma umnyango wezinsizakalo. "Qinisekisa indodana yakho ukuthi ayenzanga lutho olubi nokuthi yenze into enhle ngokukutshela," bagcizelela.
Esikhundleni sokukhathazeka osizini lwethu mayelana nezinkinga zokuhlukunyezwa, izifunda zidinga ukuhlangana ukusiza abantu abahlukunyezwe ngokocansi. Dala iqembu elisekela isonto lonke lezisulu; lisebenzise izinqubomgomo zokuvikela izingane nokuqeqeshwa kokuqwashisa ngezokuphepha ezikoleni kanye nezinhlelo zesonto ezihamba ngaphezu kwemikhombandlela esekwe yi-USCCB Charter for the Protection of Izingane kanye Nentsha; Dala i-fundraiser yamakhamera okuphepha ukuthi afakelwe esontweni lakho; ukusabalalisa izincwajana zolwazi ngezinsizakusebenza ezikhona noma uzifake kuncwadi yesonto yesonto; qala inkhulumomphendvulwano emkhatsini wesishado lesibuta imibuto kanye nekukhatsateka; nikela ngemali ezinhlanganweni ezeseka izisulu zobudlova bocansi emphakathini wangakini; qinisekisa labo abahlukumezekile abangenze lutho olungalungile futhi obasekela ngenhliziyo yonke ngenqubo yabo yokuphulukisa. Uhla lwamathuba luyaqhubeka.
Ngiyayithanda iMSU, kepha ekugcineni ngithembekile kuKristu ngaphambi kwesizwe sakwaSpartan. Ngisabheka iziqu ze-master yami ngomqondo wokufeza okuthile, yize kukhona abezindaba abathandekayo abathola i-MSU ezinyangeni eziyi-18 ezedlule. Noma kunjalo, ngiyazi ukuthi uKrestu ufuna ngicindezele amandla ami ngize ezindabeni ezibaluleke kakhulu, njengokuthi engingakwenza mathupha ukusiza ukwenza umhlaba ube yindawo engcono nokwakha ukuxhumana okunamandla noNkulunkulu. I-Lent yafika ngesikhathi esifanele salokho. Ukuzibonisa kanye nokuqonda.
Kuzoba izinsuku ezingama-40 kodwa ezidingeka kakhulu.
