USIKU Wautali
Lachinayi lapitali, tidafika pamalire aku Canada / US ndikuwonetsa zikalata zathu kuti tilowe mdzikolo kuti tichite nawo ntchito zina muutumiki. "Moni, ndine mmishonale wochokera ku Canada…" Atandifunsa mafunso angapo, wothandizila kumalire anandiuza kuti ndipite ndipo analamula banja lathu kuti liyime panja pa basi. Pomwe mphepo yozizira yozizira idagwira anawo, makamaka atavala zazifupi ndi manja amfupi, olowa mnyumba amafufuza basi kuchokera kumapeto mpaka kumapeto (kufunafuna chiyani, sindikudziwa). Nditakweranso, ndidapemphedwa kuti ndikalowe mnyumba yogona.
Zomwe ziyenera kuti zinali zosavuta kusandutsidwa mafunso awiri ovuta. Wotumiza katunduyo sanakhulupirire kuti tikubwera ku United States ndi ntchito yaumishonale chifukwa cha ndalama zomwe tinali nazo m'matchalitchi. Anandifunsa, kenako mkazi wanga padera, kenako kundifunsanso. Ananditenga zala zanga, ndikujambula chithunzi, ndipo pamapeto pake ndinakana kulowa. Anali atatu m'mawa titabwerera ku tawuni yapafupi yaku Canada, ana athu asanu ndi awiri ndi kalavani yodzaza ndi zokuzira mawu.
Kutacha m'mawa, tidayimbira foni kumatchalitchi komwe ndimapita kukayankhula ndikuimba, ndipo tinawafunsa kuti afotokozere m'makalata awo kwa ife makonzedwe azachuma. Titasonkhanitsa fakisi yathu yonse, tinabwerera kumalire. Nthawi ino, kufunsidwa kunali kwamwano kwambiri ndipo kuwopsezedwa kunabisidwa kwa ine ndikalimbikira kuti ndikambirane nkhaniyi. "Bwererani ku Canada," woyang'anira woyang'anira adati.
Ndinabwerera kubasi yathu yoyendera, ndikumva kufota mkati. Tinali ndi zochitika zisanu ndi zinayi zololedwa-zina mwazo zidasungidwa miyezi yapitayo. "Zatha," ndidatero kwa mkazi wanga Lea. "Tikupita kwathu."
Ndinayamba kuyendetsa galimoto kwa maola asanu ndi limodzi kunyumba kwawo pomwe Lea mwadzidzidzi adandifunsa ngati ndingadutse kuti andiimbire foni komaliza. "Ndikuti ndiyitane malire," adatero. "Chani? Anditsekera nthawi ino!" Ndinatsutsa. Koma adakakamira. Atafika pafoni ndi woyang'anira yemwe adandifunsa mafunso, adati: "Sizokhudza ndalama. Tabwera kuno kudzachita utumiki, ndipo anthu ambiri akutidalira. Ngati tavomereza kuchotsera ndalama zathu ndipo kuti matchalitchi akutumizireni fax, mungaganizire? " Wothandizirayo adayamba kuchita ziwonetsero, koma mwadzidzidzi adayimitsa, ndikupumira ndikuti, "Chabwino, atha kuwatumiza fakisi-koma sindikupanganso chilichonse."
CHOONADI CHIDZAKUMASULANI
Ndidasonkhanitsa ana ndikuwatenga ndikudya nawo pagalimoto kuti tidye chakudya cham'mawa tikadikirira. Ana atathawira kwina, ndimasinkhasinkha zomwe zidachitika mnyumba yachikhalidwe… koma mawu a mkazi wanga ndi omwe adandikumbukira: "Tili ndi utumiki woti tichite."
Magetsi anayatsa. Mwadzidzidzi, ndinamvetsetsa zomwe Ambuye amayesera kuti andiwonetse m'maola 24 omaliza oponderezedwa: Ndimachita zonse zomwe ndingathe kubisa my bisani… koma sindinali kuchita zonse zomwe ndingathe kuti ndibweretse uthenga wabwino komwe Ambuye anali kunditsogolera. Sindinkafuna kubwera popanda mtengo. Kenako ndinamva Ambuye akulankhula momveka bwino motere:
Uthenga wabwino subwera pamtengo. Adalipira ndi Mwana wanga… ndipo yang'anani pa mtengo womwe Iye adalipira.
Ndinadzazidwa ndi manyazi mwadzidzidzi osakanikirana ndi chisangalalo. "Inde, ukunena zowona Ambuye. Ndiyenera kukhala wokonzeka kupita kulikonse komwe munganditumize chifukwa cha miyoyo yomwe ikudalira kwathunthu m'kusamalira Kwanu. Ndiyenera kupita popanda malipiro!"
Nditabwerera kubasi yapaulendo, ndidagawana ndi Lea kuti ndimamva kuti Ambuye akunena kuti tiyenera kusintha momwe takhala tikugwirira ntchito yolalikira. Osati kuti takhala tikugwiritsa ntchito ndalamazo - Mulungu akudziwa kuti takhala tikungotayika kangapo. Osati kuti takhala tikupempha ndalama zokwera kwambiri. Koma tinali kufunsa mtengo, ndipo matchalitchi ndi masukulu ena alephera kulipira.
Ndinagwada pafupi ndi bedi lathu ndikulira, ndikupempha Mulungu kuti andikhululukire. "Ambuye, mwatipempha kuti tibweretse Uthenga Wanu ku dziko lapansi. Tipita kulikonse kumene mungatipemphe popanda mtengo uliwonse. Tili ndi chidaliro mu ubwino Wanu ndi kusamalira Kwanu. Mutikhululukire chifukwa chosakukhulupirirani, Abba Atate." Titatha kupemphera, tonse a Lea ndi ine tinadzazidwa ndi chidwi cha ufulu.
Patatha pafupifupi ola limodzi, foni yam'manja inalira. Anali woyang'anira malire. "Chabwino, tikulowetsani." Patadutsa maola atatu, tinafika pakasungidwe kathu koyamba — mphindi yomweyo yomwe iyenera kuyamba.

Kuwerenga kwa Office koyamba kwa tsikuli kunachokera ku St. Paul:
Chifukwa cha iye ndalandila kutayika kwa zinthu zonse ndipo ndimawawona ngati zinyalala, kuti ndipindule Khristu ndikupezeka mwa iye… (Afil 3: 8-9)
Pomwe ndimayesera kutengera mawuwo, ndidatembenukira ku kuwerenga kwachiwiri komwe kunali kalata yochokera ku St. Francis:

Izi sizinayenera kuchitidwa iyemwini kudzera mwa iye zinthu zonse zinapangidwa, koma chifukwa cha machimo athu. Cholinga chake chinali kutisiyira chitsanzo cha momwe tingatsatire.

M'malo mwake tiyenera kukhala osavuta, odzichepetsa komanso oyera. -Liturgy of the Hours, Vol IV, p. 1466.
Pakadali pano, misozi idadzaza m'maso mwanga pozindikira momwe Ambuye amandichitira mwachikondi, mokoma mtima kuti andiwongolere-ine amene ndimayesera kukhala "wanzeru ndi wanzeru" koma wopanda chikhulupiriro ndi chiyero cha mtima.
