Awa anali amodzi mwa mawu oyamba Anthony ("Tony") Mullen adandilankhula zaka pafupifupi zisanu ndi zitatu zapitazo. Ndimaganiza kuti funso lake linali lolimba mtima chifukwa sindinamvepo za wamasomphenya waku Hungary a Elizabeth Kindelmann. Kuphatikiza apo, ndimalandila pafupipafupi kuti ndikalimbikitse kudzipereka kwina, kapena mizimu. Koma pokhapokha Mzimu Woyera utawaika pamtima wanga, sindikadalemba.
"Ndizovuta kuti ndifotokoze," ndinayankha, "Mukuwona, izi siziri my blog. Ndi a Dona Wathu. Ndine mthenga basi. Sindingathe kufotokoza anga omwe malingaliro osalola zomwe ena akufuna. Kodi izi ndi zomveka? ”

“Chabwino,” ndinatero, nditakwiya pang’ono. “Kodi munganditumizeko bukuli?”
Tony anatero. Ndipo nditawerenga mauthenga ovomerezedwa ndi Tchalitchi omwe Dona Wathu adapereka kwa zaka 20 kwa a Kindelmann, ndidadziwa pakamphindi kuti adzakhala gawo la Mawu A Tsopano kuti Mzimu Woyera akuyankhula ku Mpingo nthawi ino. Pali zolembedwa zingapo pano, chifukwa cha kulimba mtima kwa Tony, pa mphatso yodabwitsa ya "Lawi la Chikondi" lomwe Kumwamba lidzatsanulira kwambiri pa anthu, monga kuyamba kwa "Pentekoste yatsopano" (onani mwachitsanzo: Zotsatira Zake za Chisomo ndi Kusintha ndi Madalitso).
Kudzera mu Lawi la Chikondi cha Namwali Wodala, chikhulupiriro chidzazika mizimu, ndipo nkhope ya dziko lapansi idzapangidwanso, chifukwa “palibe chonga icho chakhala chikukhalapo kuyambira pomwe Mawu adakhala Thupi. ” Kukonzanso kwa dziko lapansi, ngakhale kuli kusefukira ndi masautso, kudzachitika mwa mphamvu ya kupembedzera Namwali Wodala. -Kuwala Kwa Mtima Wosasinthika wa Mariya: Buku Lauzimu (Kindle Edition, Malo. 2898-2899); adavomerezedwa mu 2009 ndi Kadinala Péter Erdö Kadinala, Primate ndi Bishopu Wamkulu. Chidziwitso: Papa Francis adapereka Madalitso Ake Atumwi pa Lawi la Chikondi cha Mtima Wosakhazikika wa Mary Movement pa Juni 19, 2013.
Ndinadziwanso kuti Tony adzakhala gawo la moyo wanga. Kwa miyezi ndi zaka zikubwerazi, tinkasinthana mafoni ndi maimelo ambiri, kuyankhulana limodzi pamisonkhano, ndikupanga njira momwe tingathandizire Mbuye wathu ndi Dona.
Kuimbira foni kapena meseji iliyonse yochokera kwa Tony idayamba chimodzimodzi: “Alemekezeke Yesu Khristu, ndipo adalitsike Lawi la Chikondi cha Mtima Wangwiro wa Maria. Amen? ”
“Ameni.”
“Ndiye tiyeni tiyambe ndi pemphero…” Tony amafuna kuti mawu aliwonse ndi zochitika zichitike kudzera mu kukhalapo kwa Yesu, komanso ndi Amayi Athu Akumwamba.
Ine ndine mpesa, inu ndinu nthambi zake; Yense wakukhala mwa Ine, ndi Ine mwa iye, adzabala chipatso chambiri, chifukwa popanda Ine simungathe kuchita kanthu. (Juwau 15: 5)
Nthawi zonse ndikamalankhula ndi Tony pafoni kapena pamasom'pamaso, kaya tikuyenda kapena kuyendetsa galimoto, nthawi zonse amangoganiza za Ufumu wa Mulungu. Kunalibe chitchat chaulesi, ndipo samalankhula za iye-kupatula banja lake ndi mkazi wake, omwe amawakonda kwambiri ndikusowa atamwalira mosayembekezereka zaka zisanu zapitazo.
Tsiku lina pamene tinakonzekera kulankhula pamsonkhano, ndinalowa m'chipinda chake chochezera Lamlungu masana, ndipo TV idasiyidwa ndi m'modzi mwa ana ake. Unali masewera ampira.
“Kodi ukuonera mpira, Tony?”
“Sindikudandaula nazo. Koma sindimazionera Lamlungu, osati patsiku la Ambuye. ” Umu ndi momwe Tony analili, wotanganidwa kwambiri ndi kutumikira Yesu munjira iliyonse momwe angathere ndi mokhulupirika momwe angathere —ndipo kuthandiza ena kuti nawonso achite chimodzimodzi. Ngakhale pantchito yake adakhala m'modzi mwa akatswiri odziwika bwino pakupanga ntchito zapamwamba, zikuwonekeratu kuti Tony sanali kufuna kumanga ufumu wake wokha, koma wa Khristu.
Masiku angapo apitawa, ndidatsiriza kulemba zolemba zanga pa Facebook ndipo ndidawona kuwulutsa pompopompo kwa Tony akukamba nkhani. Ndidatchera khutu kwakanthawi kochepa - nthawi yomaliza kumva mawu ake. Amalankhula za tchimo lobisala, ndipo nthawi zambiri timanyengerera ndi "ang'ono". Amayitanitsa omvera ake modekha koma molimba mtima kuti alape zenizeni. Ndinkaseka ndekha ndikulingalira momwe amamvekera ngati Yohane M'batizi, komanso momwe Tony wakhala akusinthira kwambiri pakukhala Uthenga Wabwino kuyambira pomwe adatembenuka - kuchita mwamphamvu zomwe Kumwamba akufunsa. Koma "okhazikika" ndi zomwe tonsefe tiyenera kukhala.
Uzikonda Ambuye Mulungu wako ndi onse mtima wanu, ndi onse moyo wako, ndi onse malingaliro anu, ndipo ndi onse mphamvu yanu. (Maliko 12:30)
Tsiku lina, Tony anandiuzanso, “Kodi ungandithandizire bwanji kufalitsa uthenga wa Amayi Athu?” Ndidamufotokozera kuti ndimachita mwanjira yanga, komanso, kuti tsamba langa lawebusayiti silinali langa; ndikuti ngati Dona Wathu akufuna kuti ndichite 
amalimbikitsa zoposa pamenepo, chabwino, amangoyenera kulankhula naye. Tinaseka. Koma kenako ndinaganiza kuti: “Tony, bwanji osangoyamba omwe blog? Sizovuta kwenikweni. ” Ndinamuiloza njira yoyenera, ndipo ananyamuka. Chithandizo Chaumulungu ndi cholowa cha Tony pa intaneti pazomwe anali kuganiza mwachangu mumtima mwake: momwe angathandizire ena kukula mu mgwirizano ndi Mulungu mwa kuyankha ku mawu Akumwamba.

Joseph Iannuzzi - buku lomwe lakhala lofunika kwambiri pakubwezeretsa kumvetsetsa koyenera kwa Chaputala XNUMX cha Bukhu la Chivumbulutso, komanso "nyengo yamtendere" yomwe ikubwera.
Pokamba nawo pagulu, ndimakonda kuuza anthu kuti Amayi a Mulungu sakuwoneka padziko lapansi kudzamwa tiyi ndi ana awo. Ndikuganiza kuti ndi ochepa omwe adatenga uthenga wazowoneka bwino zaku Marian zaka mazana awiri zapitazi mozama kuposa Tony. “Tiyenera kusiya kulankhula za izi ndikungolankhula do zomwe akutiuza, ”nthawi zambiri ankatero.

Wakhala akutipatsa njira yobwererera kwa Yesu, njira yamtendere… ndipo takhala tikungonyalanyaza izi.
Koma osati Tony. Amachita zomwe amalalikira. Ankasala kudya katatu pamlungu ndipo nthawi zambiri ankadzuka usiku kuti apemphere. Nthawi zonse tikakhala limodzi, tinkapemphera kapena kugwira ntchito ya "Ambuye." Changu cha Anthony chidakhala kwa ine ndi ena ambiri kukhala chowunikiranso chomwe zofooka zathu ndi kusakhutira kwathu zidawululidwa. Kuphatikiza apo, wina amatha kuwona akumukongoletsa mwa iye mawu a Uthenga Wabwino:
Ngati wina akufuna kunditsata, ayenera kudzikana yekha ndi kunyamula mtanda wake tsiku lililonse ndikunditsata. Pakuti aliyense wofuna kupulumutsa moyo wake adzautaya, koma iye amene ataya moyo wake chifukwa cha Ine adzaupulumutsa. (Luka 9: 23-24)

Mmawa womwewo, Tony adayimbira mwana wake wamwamuna nati, "Imbani 911… Ndikuganiza kuti ndili ndi vuto la mtima." Anamupeza atagona pansi, manja ake atatambasuka ngati kuti watambasulidwa pamtanda — chizindikiro, tsopano, cha momwe m'bale uyu mwa Khristu adakhalira moyo pakati pathu: atasiyidwa ku Chifuniro Chaumulungu.

Maola ochepa okha asanamwalire, Tony anali atanditumizira imelo yolemba zolemba za St. Faustina:
Kulakalaka Kutsanulidwa kwa Mzimu Woyera Kuti Onse Adzadziwe Khristu…
"Ndikulakalaka kwakukulu, ndikuyembekezera kudza kwa Ambuye. Zolakalaka zanga ndi zazikulu. Ndikulakalaka kuti anthu onse adziwe Ambuye. Ndikufuna kukonzekera Mitundu Yonse kubwera kwa Mawu Amunthu.

Tsiku limenelo, Ambuye anabwera kwa m'bale wathu. Mawu a Tony tsopano akuphatikizana ndi makamu akumwamba omwe akufuula kuti: Yesu ndiye Ambuye!
Usiku watha nditatha kumva chisoni chifukwa cha imfa ya bwenzi langa lokondedwa, ndinakhala pafupi ndi bedi langa ndikuyang'ana buku limodzi patebulo langa usiku. Zofanana ndi zokambirana zomwe zidabwerera zaka zingapo zapitazo…

Sindingakwanitse, Tony. ”
"Palibe vuto. Ndikutumizirani. ”
Umenewo unali mtundu wamtima womwe Tony anali nawo. M'malo mwake, tsiku lomwe adamwalira, amalowa mu "Hall of Fame" pasukulu yasekondale yakomweko chifukwa chachifundo. Izi sizinandidabwitse. Kupatsa kwa Tony kwa ine komanso kwa ena kumadziwika bwino kwa ambiri mu Thupi la Khristu. Anapereka, napatsanso, anapatsanso ena….
Ndinapumira mwamphamvu, ndinanyamula Ubwenzi Wapamtima kuchokera poyimilira panga usiku, ndipo adatsegula mwachisawawa kuti awerenge kuyambira Lamlungu la Pentekoste.

Khalani kuwala kolowera komwe kumawunikira nzeru zanga, mayendedwe ofatsa omwe amakopa ndikuwongolera chifuniro changa, mphamvu zachilengedwe zomwe zimapatsa mphamvu mthupi langa. Malizitsani mwa ine ntchito yanu yakuyeretsa ndi chikondi.
