Umlando weSan Bonifacio
UBoniface, owaziwa ngokuthi umphostoli wamaJalimane, wayeyindela yaseNgilandi yaseBenedictine eyayeka ukukhethwa njenge-abbot ukunikela ngempilo yakhe ekuguqulweni kwezizwe zamaJalimane. Izici ezimbili zigqamile: imfundiso yakhe yobuKristu nokwethembeka kwakhe kuPapa waseRoma.
Ukuthi le mfundiso nokwethembeka kwakudingeka ngokuphelele kanjani kwaqinisekiswa yizimo uBoniface azithola ohambweni lwakhe lokuqala lobufundisi ngo-719 ecelwe uPapa Gregory II. Ubuqaba babuyindlela yokuphila. Okutholwe ubuKristu bekuwele ebuhedeni noma kuhlanganiswe nephutha. Abefundisi ngokuyinhloko babebhekele lezi zimo zokugcina njengoba ezimweni eziningi babengafundile, bekhululekile futhi belalela ngokusobala kubabhishobhi babo. Ezimweni ezithile ama-oda abo ayengabazeka.
Lezi yizimo uBoniface azibika ngo-722 ekuhambeleni kwakhe kokuqala eRome. Ubaba Ongcwele wamyalela ukuthi enze izinguquko eSontweni LaseJalimane. Upapa uthumele izincwadi zokuncoma kubaholi bezenkolo nabomphakathi. Kamuva uBoniface wavuma ukuthi umsebenzi wakhe wawungeke uphumelele, ngokombono womuntu, ngaphandle kwencwadi eqinisekile yokuziphatha evela kuCharles Martel, umbusi onamandla waseFrankish, umkhulu kaCharlemagne. Ekugcineni uBoniface waqokwa njengombhishobhi wesifunda futhi wagunyazwa ukuhlela lonke isonto laseJalimane. Kuphumelele kakhulu.
Embusweni wamaFrank, yahlangabezana nezinkinga ezinkulu ngenxa yokugxambukela kwezwe okhethweni lobubhishobhi, ukuthanda izwe kwabefundisi kanye nokuntuleka kokulawulwa ngupapa.
Ngesikhathi somsebenzi wokugcina kwabaseFrisian, uBoniface nabangane bakhe abangama-53 babulawa ngesikhathi elungiselela abaguqukela ukuqinisekiswa.
Ukubuyisela ukwethembeka kweSonto lamaJalimane eRome nokuguqula amaqaba, uBoniface wayeholwa yizikhulu ezimbili. Okokuqala kwaba ukubuyisela ukulalela kwabefundisi kubabhishobhi babo bebumbene noPapa waseRoma. Okwesibili kwaba ukusungulwa kwezindlu eziningi zomkhuleko ezathatha isimo sezindela zaseBenedictine. Inani elikhulu lezindela nezindela zase-Anglo-Saxon zamlandela zaya ezwenikazi, lapho wethula khona izindelakazi zamaBenedictine ekuhlubukeni okusebenzayo kwemfundo.
Ukuzindla
UBoniface uqinisekisa umthetho wamaKrestu: ukulandela uKrestu kulandela indlela yesiphambano. KuBoniface, kwakungekhona ukuhlupheka ngokwenyama noma ukufa kuphela, kodwa kwakungumsebenzi obuhlungu, ongabongi futhi odidayo wokuguqula isonto. Inkazimulo yobufundisi ivame ukucatshangelwa ngokuletha abantu abasha kuKristu. Kubukeka - kepha akunjalo - kunenkazimulo encane ukwelapha indlu yokholo.
