THE chiwonongeko ndi, zomwe wokhalamo wina adandiuza ngati "kuchuluka kwa Baibulo". Ndinavomera chete ndili chete nditawona kuwonongeka kwa mphepo yamkuntho Katrina.
Mkuntho unachitika miyezi isanu ndi iwiri yapitayo - patangotha milungu iwiri yokha kuchokera ku konsati yathu ku Violet, 15 miles kumwera kwa New Orleans. Zikuwoneka kuti zidachitika sabata yatha.
ZOSADZIWIKA
Miyulu ya zinyalala ndi zinyalala imazungulira pafupifupi misewu iliyonse pamtunda wamakilomita ambiri, kudutsa parishi pambuyo pa parishi, mzinda ndi mzinda. Nyumba zonse zansanjika ziwiri - masilala a simenti ndi zonse - zidatengedwa ndikusunthira pakati pa msewu. Dera lonse la nyumba zatsopano zasowa, popanda zinyalala. Interstate-10 yayikulu idakali ndi magalimoto owonongeka ndi mabwato otengedwa kuchokera kwa Mulungu akudziwa komwe. Mu Parish ya St. Bernard (chigawo), madera ambiri omwe tidadutsamo adasiyidwa, kuphatikizapo nyumba zapamwamba zomwe zili m'malo abwino (mulibe mphamvu, madzi, ndi oyandikana nawo ochepa pamtunda wa makilomita). Tchalitchi chomwe tinkachita chinali ndi nkhungu yokwawa m'makoma mpaka pomwe madzi amatalika mamita 30 pamwamba pake. Udzu wa pristine parishi yonseyo wasinthidwa ndi mayadi odzala ndi udzu ndi misewu yophimbidwa ndi mchere. Malo odyetserako ziweto otseguka, omwe kale anali odzala ndi ng'ombe tsopano akudyetsedwa ndi magalimoto okhotakhota omwe ali kutali ndi misewu iliyonse. 95 peresenti ya mabizinesi a parishi ya St. Bernard awonongeka kapena kutsekedwa. Usikuuno, basi yathu yoyendera yayimitsidwa pafupi ndi tchalitchi chomwe denga lake lonse lasowa. Sindikudziwa komwe kuli, kupatula gawo limodzi lomwe lili kutsogolo kwabwalo pafupi ndi njanji zokhotakhota zamanja ndi nyumba zamatchalitchi zomwe zawonongeka.
Nthaŵi zambiri tikamayendetsa galimoto pafupi ndi zipolopolozo, zinkakhala ngati tikudutsa m’dziko lachitatu. Koma izi zinali America.
CHITHUNZI CHACHIKULU
Pamene ndinali kukambirana za tsiku lathu ndi mkazi wanga Lea ndi mnzanga, Fr. Kyle Dave, zidandiwonekera: iyi ndi imodzi yokha atatu masoka a "mulingo wa m'Baibulo" mokha chaka chimodzi. Tsunami ya ku Asia inagwedeza kwenikweni maziko a dziko lapansi, kupha anthu oposa 200 000. Chivomezi cha ku Pakistan chinapha anthu oposa 87 000. Africa tsopano ikukumana ndi zomwe akatswiri akutcha chilala choipitsitsa chomwe sanachiwonepo; madzi oundana a Polar akusungunuka mofulumira kuopseza magombe onse; Matenda opatsirana pogonana akufalikira m'mayiko ena, kuphatikizapo Canada; mliri wotsatira wapadziko lonse lapansi ukuyembekezeredwa tsiku lililonse; ndipo Asilamu amphamvu akuwopseza kwambiri kugwetsa tsoka la nyukiliya kwa adani awo.
Monga Fr. Kyle akuti, "Kuti muwone zomwe zikuchitika padziko lonse lapansi, ndikukana kuti pali chinachake chimene chikuchitika, munthu ayenera kukhala SOS - unakakamira pa zopusa." Ndipo simunganene kuti zonsezi ndi chifukwa cha kutentha kwa dziko.
kotero, chikuchitika ndi chiyani?
Chithunzi chimene ndili nacho m’mutu mwanga ndicho kuona ana anga akubadwa. Pachochitika chilichonse sitinkadziwa kuti ndi ndani. Koma tinkadziwa kuti anali khanda. Momwemonso, mpweya umawoneka kuti uli ndi pakati, koma ndi zomwe ndendende, sitikudziwa. Koma chinachake chatsala pang'ono kubala. Kodi ndi kutha kwa nthawi? Kodi ndi kutha kwa nthawi monga momwe kwafotokozedwera mu Mateyu 24, pomwe m'badwo wathu ulidi woyenera? Ndi chiyeretso? Kodi zonse zitatu?
MASOMPHENYA NDI MALOTO
Pakhala kuphulika kwa maloto ndi masomphenya pakati pa abwenzi ndi ogwira nawo ntchito mofanana. Posachedwapa, amishonale atatu oyendayenda ndikudziwa aliyense anali ndi maloto a kuphedwa pamaso pa Sakramenti Lodala. Koma mmodzi wa iwo anaulula malotowo, pamene ena awiriwo anazindikira kuti anali nalo loto lomwelo.
Ena afotokoza masomphenya akumva ndi kuona angelo akuomba lipenga.
Banja lina linaima kuti lipempherere dziko la Canada kutsogolo kwa chipilala. Pamene ankapemphera, mbenderayo inagwa pansi pamaso pawo mochititsa mantha komanso mochititsa mantha.
Bambo wina adandiuza masomphenya omwe adawona a malo oyenga mafuta m'tauni yake yolemera mafuta akuphulika chifukwa cha uchigawenga.
Ndipo ndikuzengereza kugawana maloto anga, ndifotokoza maloto amodzi obwerezabwereza omwe m'modzi mwa anzanga apamtima adakhala nawo omwe anali ofanana. Tonse tinawona nyenyezi zathu zakumaloto kumwamba zikuyamba kuzungulira kukhala ngati bwalo. Kenako nyenyezi zinayamba kugwa… kutembenuka mwadzidzidzi kukhala ndege zankhondo zachilendo. Ngakhale kuti malotowa anachitika kalekale, tonse tinafika kumasulira kofanana (kotheka) posachedwapa, tsiku lomwelo, popanda kulankhulana.
Koma si zonse zimene zili zomvetsa chisoni. Ena andiuza ine za masomphenya a mitsinje ya machiritso ikuyenda kupyola mu fukoli. Chinanso chimandifotokozera mawu amphamvu a Yesu komanso chikhumbo chake chopereka Mtima Wake Wopatulika kwa otsatira ake. Lerolino, pamaso pa Sacramenti Lodala, ndinawoneka kuti ndinamva Ambuye akunena:
Ndidzaunikira zikumbumtima, ndipo anthu adzadziwona okha monga iwo alidi, ndi monga ine kuwawonadi. Ena adzawonongeka; ambiri sadzatero; ambiri adzafuulira chifundo. Ndidzakutumiza kuti ukadye chakudya chimene ndakupatsa.
Lingaliro langa linali lakuti Kristu sanatisiye aliyense wa ife padziko lapansi, ngakhale wochimwa woipitsitsa, ndi kuti ali pafupi kulola chifundo chake ndi chikondi chake kuphulika padziko lapansi.
Ndiyenera kunena kuti, maloto awa, mawu, ndi masomphenya onse ali mkati mwa mavumbulutso achinsinsi. Ndinu omasuka kuzitaya ngati mwasankha. Koma ife amene timawalandira, kapena amene akufuna kuwalingalira, akulamulidwa kuzindikira, ndipo osawanyoza, akuchenjeza Paulo Woyera.
WOONEKA
Kwa ena a inu zinthu zimenezi zingamveke ngati zochititsa mantha. Kwa ena, zimatsimikizira zomwe mukumva kapena kumva. Ndipo komabe, ena adzawona ichi kukhala chochititsa mantha chabe. Kunena zowona, kungakhale kodetsa nkhaŵa pang’ono (makamaka pamene munthu ali ndi ana asanu ndi aŵiri.) Komabe, ndinapatsidwa chikumbutso champhamvu cha kukhalapo kwa Mulungu ndi chisamaliro chake pamene ndinali paulendo wopyola m’Boma losakazidwa ndi chimphepochi.
M’midadada ingapo iliyonse kapena kupitirira apo, tinkapeza nyumba imene chiboliboli cha Mariya kapena Yosefe chinali chokongoletsa pabwalopo. M’chochitika chilichonse, chibolibolicho chinali chosasunthika, ndipo chodabwitsa kwambiri, chinali chosavulazidwa. Chiboliboli chimodzi cha Dona wathu wa ku Fatima chomwe tidachiwona chidazunguliridwa ndi chitsulo chopotoka chachitsulo… Mpingo umene ndikukulemberani kuyambira usiku uno unakhudzidwa ndi mphepo yamkuntho yomwe inayambitsa mphepo yamkuntho. Mitanda yachitsulo inali yopindika pabwalopo, komabe chiboliboli cha Mariya chili patali pang'ono chabe, chikuyima mowoneka bwino komanso chosasunthika. "Zifanizozi zili paliponse," adatero Fr. Kyle pamene tinkadutsa wina. M’tchalitchi chake chomwe, guwa la nsembe ndi ziwiya zake zinasesedweratu. Chirichonse chinali chitapita—kupatula ziboliboli za m’makona anayi a tchalitchicho, ndi St. "Jude Woyera anali panja m'munda wa mapemphero akuyang'ana pansi mumatope," adatero Atate. "Mapemphero a anthu adamugwadira." Anatchulanso za nyumba za anthu a m’matchalitchi amene mitanda inkapachikidwa yosasunthika pakhoma, pafupi ndi pamene munkakhala makabati akukhitchini.
Umboni wake ndi wosakayikitsa. Zizindikiro zili paliponse. Chilengedwe chonse chikubuula kudikirira vumbulutso la ana a Mulungu (Aroma 8:22)… ndipo pakati pa zonsezi, Mulungu wasiya zizindikiro za kukhalapo kwake ndi chikondi kwa ife tonse. Ndikumvanso mawu omveka bwino omwe ndikuwona kuti akutanthauza dziko lapansi: "Konzekerani". Chinachake chikubwera… chayandikira. Kodi kuwonjezereka kwa zochitika zonsezi, ponse paŵiri kaŵirikaŵiri ndi kuopsa kwake, kungakhale chenjezo?
Ndikanakhala Nowa, ndikanaima pa chingalawa changa, ndikufuula mokweza monga ndikanathera kwa aliyense amene angamve kuti: “Lowani! Lowani m’ngalawa ya chifundo ndi chikondi cha Mulungu. Lapani! misala ya uchimo Lowani m'chombo.mwachangu!"
Kapena ngati Fr. Kyle anati, "Osamangokhalira kukakamira
wopusa."
