(Idasindikizidwa koyamba pa February 21st, 2018.)

 

2088 AD... Zaka makumi asanu ndi zisanu ndi zisanu pambuyo pa Mkuntho Waukulu.

 

HE Anapuma movutikira kwinaku akuyang'ana padenga lazitsulo lopindika modutsa la The Last Museum — lomwe limatchedwa choncho, chifukwa zikanakhala choncho. Atatseka maso ake, zikumbukiro zambiri zidatsegula mphanga m'maganizo mwake yomwe idasindikizidwa kalekale ... nthawi yoyamba yomwe adawonapo kugwa kwa zida za nyukiliya… phulusa lochokera kumapiri ... thambo ngati masango wandiweyani a mphesa, lotchinga dzuwa kwa miyezi kumapeto…

"Grampa?"

Liwu lake losakhwima lidamutulutsa mumdima wandiweyani womwe samamvanso kwanthawi yayitali. Anayang'ana nkhope yake yowala, yokopa yodzala ndi chifundo ndi chikondi chomwe nthawi yomweyo chimatulutsa misozi pachitsime cha mtima wake.

"O, Tessa," adatero, dzina lake lotchedwa Thérèse wachichepere. Ali ndi zaka XNUMX, anali ngati mwana wake weniweni. Anaphimba nkhope yake m'manja mwake ndipo kudzera m'maso mwamadzi adamwa kuchokera kuphompho komwe kumawoneka ngati kosatha kwa zabwino zomwe zimatuluka mwa iye.

“Mwana wako ndiwe wosalakwa. Simudziwa ayi ... ”

Tessa adadziwa kuti ili lingakhale tsiku lokhumudwitsa kwa bambo yemwe amamutcha "Grampa". Agogo ake enieni adamwalira pankhondo yachitatu, ndipo a Thomas Hardon, omwe tsopano ali ndi zaka zapakati pa nineti, adagwira ntchitoyi.

Thomas adakhalapo ndi zomwe zidadziwika kuti Mkuntho Wamphamvu, kanthawi kochepa zaka 2000 chikhristu chitabadwa chomwe chidafikira pachimake “Tnkhondo yomaliza pakati pa Tchalitchi ndi otsutsa-tchalitchi, Uthenga Wabwino ndi wotsutsa-evangeli, pakati pa Khristu ndi Wokana Kristu. ” ^[1]Msonkhano wa Ukaristia wokondwerera zaka ziwiri zakusainidwa kwa Declaration of Independence, Philadelphia, PA, 1976; onani. Akatolika Online (kutsimikiziridwa ndi Dikoni Keith Fournier yemwe analipo

"Ndicho chimene John Paul Wamkulu adachitcha icho," Grampa nthawi ina adanena.

Opulumukawo amakhulupirira kuti tsopano akukhala m'nthawi yamtendere yoloseredwa mu chaputala 20 cha Chivumbulutso, yomwe ikuwonetsedwa ndi chiwerengero chophiphiritsira cha "zaka chikwi."^[2]"Tsopano ... tikumvetsetsa kuti nyengo ya zaka chikwi chimodzi imafotokozedwa mophiphiritsa." (Woyera Justin Martyr, Kukambirana ndi Trypho, Ch. 81, Abambo a Tchalitchi, Christian Heritage) St. Thomas Aquinas adalongosola kuti: "Monga ananenera Augustine, m'badwo wotsiriza wapadziko lapansi ukufanana ndi gawo lomaliza la moyo wamunthu, lomwe silikhala kwa zaka zingapo monga magawo ena onse, koma limakhala nthawi zina bola enawo azikhala limodzi, komanso kupitilira apo. Chifukwa chake m'badwo wotsiriza wadziko lapansi sungapatsidwe chiwerengero cha zaka kapena mibadwo. ” (Zokambirana za Quaestiones, Vol. Wachiwiri De Potentia, Q. 5, n.5; www.wdatspali.org)  Pambuyo pa kugwa kwa "Mdima" (monga Grampa adamutchulira) ndikuyeretsa dziko lapansi la "opanduka", otsala omwe adapulumuka adayamba kumanganso dziko "losavuta". Tessa anali m'badwo wachiwiri wobadwa mu nthawi ino yamtendere. Kwa iye, zoopsa zomwe makolo ake adapirira komanso zomwe adalongosola zimawoneka ngati zosatheka.

Ichi ndichifukwa chake Grampa adamubweretsa ku nyumba yosungiramo zinthu zakaleyi komwe kale ankadziwika kuti Winnipeg, Canada. Nyumbayi, yomwe inali yamdima, nthawi ina inali ku Canada Museum of Human Rights. Koma monga momwe Grampa adanenera, "'Ufulu udakhala chilango chonyongedwa." M'chaka choyamba pambuyo pa kuyeretsedwa Kwakukulu kwa dziko lapansi, adalimbikitsa lingaliro la nyumba yosungiramo zinthu zakale ku mibadwo yamtsogolo kumbukirani.

"Ndikumva kwachilendo kuno, Grampa."

Kuchokera patali, nyumba yosungiramo zinthu zakaleyi imawoneka ngati zojambula za "Tower of Babel" ya m'Baibulo, nyumba yomwe anthu akale amadzipangira chifukwa chodzikuza kuti akafike "kumwamba," motero, kuputa chiweruzo cha Mulungu. A United Nations nawonso amafanana ndi nsanja yotchuka ija, a Thomas adakumbukira.

Nyumbayi idasankhidwa pazifukwa zingapo. Choyamba, inali imodzi mwazinthu zazikulu zochepa zomwe zidakalipobe. Ambiri mwa omwe kale anali United States kumwera anawonongedwa ndipo sanakhalemo. "Old Winnipeg," monga momwe idatchulidwira tsopano, inali njira yatsopano kwa amwendamnjira omwe amayenda kuchokera ku Sanctuaries (malo otetezera omwe Mulungu adateteza otsalira ake panthawi yoyeretsa). Nyengo pano inali yocheperako poyerekeza ndi pomwe Grampa anali mwana. Nthawi zambiri ankati: “Kunali kozizira kwambiri ku Canada. Koma pambuyo pa Chivomerezi Chachikulu chomwe chinapangitsa kuti dziko lapansi likhale lolimba,^[3]cf. Fatima, komanso kugwedeza kwakukulu Old Winnipeg tsopano inali pafupi ndi equator, ndipo madera omwe anali m'nkhalango kale anali atadzaza ndi masamba obiriwira.

Chachiwiri, tsambalo lidasankhidwa kuti lipange zonena. Anthu anali atabwera m'malo mwa malamulo a Mulungu ndi "ufulu" omwe, atataya maziko awo m'malamulo achilengedwe ndi machitidwe amakhalidwe abwino, adakhazikitsa dongosolo lopondereza lomwe limalolera chilichonse koma osalemekeza aliyense. Zinkawoneka zoyenera kusintha kachisiyu kukhala malo opempherera omwe angakumbutse mibadwo yamtsogolo za zipatso za "ufulu" pamene osatulutsidwa mu dongosolo laumulungu.

"Grampa, sitiyenera kupita."

“Inde, inde timatero, Tessa. Inu, ana anu ndi ana a ana anu muyenera kukumbukira zomwe zimachitika tikasiya malamulo a Mulungu. Monga momwe malamulo achilengedwe amakhala ndi zotsatirapo ngati satsatiridwa, momwemonso malamulo a Chifuniro Chaumulungu. ”

Zowonadi, a Thomas nthawi zambiri amasinkhasinkha za Chachitatu chifukwa chowopsya chomwe The Last Museum idakhalira. Pakuti mu chaputala 20 cha Chivumbulutso, ikupitilizabe kunena zomwe zimachitika pambuyo nyengo yamtendere…

Zikadzatha zaka chikwi, Satana adzamasulidwa m'ndende yake. Adzapita kukasokeretsa amitundu kumakona anayi a dziko lapansi, Gogi ndi Magogi, kuwasonkhanitsira kunkhondo… (Chibvumbulutso 20: 7-8)

Momwe anthu angaiwale zamaphunziro akale ndikupanduka komabe kutsutsana ndi Mulungu kunayambitsa mkangano pakati pa opulumuka ambiri. Mliri, zoyipa, ndi ziphe zomwe zidapachikidwa mlengalenga, kupondereza mzimu, zidachoka. Pafupifupi aliyense, pamlingo winawake, tsopano anali kulingalira. “Mphatso” (monga momwe inkatchulidwira) yakukhala mu Chifuniro Chaumulungu inali itasintha miyoyo kotero kuti ambiri amamva ngati kuti ali kale Kumwamba, ogwidwa ngati kuti ndi ulusi, womangirizidwa ku mnofu wawo.

Ndipo chiyero chatsopano komanso chatsopanochi chidatsanulira mofanana ndi mathithi amtsinje waukulu. Chilengedwe chomwecho, kamodzi chimabuula chifukwa cha kulemera kwa choyipa, chidatsitsimuka m'malo. Nthaka inakhalanso yobiriwira m'maiko okhalamo; madzi anali oyera ngati kristalo; mitengo inali yodzaza ndi zipatso ndipo njerezo zinafika kutalika kwa mapazi anayi ndi mitu pafupifupi kawiri kuposa kutalika kwa tsiku lake. Ndipo panalibenso “kupatukana kwa Tchalitchi ndi Boma.” Utsogoleriwo unali oyera. Panali mtendere… zenizeni mtendere. Mzimu wa Khristu udadzaza zonse. Iye anali kulamulira mwa anthu Ake, ndipo iwo anali akulamulira mwa Iye. Ulosi wa papa udakwaniritsidwa:

"Ndipo iwo adzamva mawu anga, ndipo padzakhala khola limodzi ndi mbusa m'modzi." Mulungu atithandizire ... posachedwa kukwaniritsa uneneri wake pakusintha masomphenya olimbikitsa amtsogolo kukhala zenizeni ... Ndiudindo la Mulungu kubweretsa nthawi yosangalatsa iyi ndikuwuza ena onse ... Ikafika, izikhala nthawi yodziwika bwino, yayikulu popanda zotsatira zakukonzanso Ufumu wa Kristu, koma kukonza kwa ... dziko. Timapemphera mochokera pansi pamtima, ndikupempha ena kuti atipempherere kukhazikitsidwa komwe kumafunidwa kwambiri. —PAPA PIUS XI, Ubi Arcani dei Consilioi "Pa Mtendere wa Kristu mu Ufumu wake", Disembala 23, 1922

Inde, kukhazikika kudabwera. Koma zingatheke bwanji kuti anthu abwerenso Mulungu? Kwa iwo omwe adafunsa funsoli, a Thomas nthawi zambiri amayankha ndi mawu awiri okha - komanso zachisoni zomwe zokha zimayankhula zambiri:

“Ufulu Wosankha.”

Kenako amatchula za Uthenga Wabwino wa Mateyu:

Uthenga wabwino uwu wa ufumu udzalalikidwa padziko lonse lapansi, kuti ukhale umboni ku mitundu yonse, ndipo ndiye chitsiriziro chidzafika. (Mateyu 24:14)

Kupatula apo, Tower of Babel idamangidwa zaka mazana ochepa pambuyo kuyeretsedwa koyamba kwa dziko lapansi ndi Chigumula, ndipo ngakhale Nowa anali akadali wamoyo. Inde, nawonso anaiwala.

 

KUKUMBUKIRA

Khomo lakuda la nyumba yosungiramo zinthu zakale posakhalitsa lidapangitsa chipinda chotseguka kuyatsa pang'ono ndi magetsi angapo opangira.

"Oo, magetsi, Grampa. ”

Wothandizira yekha anali pafupi, mayi wachikulire wazaka makumi asanu ndi awiri. Adafotokozera kuti nyali zochepa zoyendetsedwa ndi dzuwa zidagwirabe ntchito, chifukwa cha yemwe kale anali wamagetsi yemwe anali wodziwa makinawa m'masiku ake. Pamene Tessa ankayang'ana pamakoma omwe sanali kuyatsa, amatha kujambula zithunzi zazikulu za nkhope za amuna, akazi, ndi ana amitundu ndi mitundu yosiyanasiyana. Kupatula zithunzizo zomwe zili pafupi ndi denga, zambiri zidawonongeka, zidakanidwa, kapena kupentedwa. Woyang'anira nyumba yosungiramo zinthu zakale, atazindikira chidwi cha mtsikanayo, adabaya:

“Monga nyumba zambiri zomwe zidapulumuka Chivomerezi, iwo sanatero apulumuke pa nthawi ya anarchist. ”

“Kodi anarchist ndi chiyani?” Tessa anafunsa.

Anali mtsikana wachidwi, wochenjera komanso wanzeru. Anawerenga ndikuphunzira mabuku ochepa omwe adatsalira mu Sanctuaries ndikufunsa mafunso ambiri, nthawi zambiri pomwe akulu amagwiritsa ntchito mawu omwe sanali odziwika. Apanso, Thomas adapezeka kuti akuphunzira nkhope yake… ndi kusalakwa kwake. Odala ali oyera mtima. O, momwe kukhwima kwake kunapangidwira ana azaka khumi ndi zisanu za nthawi yake-anyamata ndi atsikana omwe adasokonezedwa m'mabuku ndi mbiri yakukonzanso, osagwidwa ndi kusefukira kwachinyengo, zofalitsa zamatsenga, kugula zinthu, komanso maphunziro opanda tanthauzo. Iye anaganiza mumtima mwake, "Mulungu, awasandutsa nyama kuti azitsatira zilakolako zawo zochepa." Adakumbukira momwe ambiri anali onenepa komanso owoneka odwala, omwe adayikidwa pang'onopang'ono ndi chilichonse chomwe adadya, kumwa, komanso kupuma.

Koma Tessa… iye anali wowala ndi moyo.

"Anarchist," woyang'anira adayankha, "ndi… kapena m'malo mwake, anali makamaka munthu amene anakana ulamuliro, ngakhale boma kapena Tchalitchi —ndipo anagwira ntchito kuti awagonjetse. Iwo anali opandukira boma — mwina iwo amaganiza kuti anali; anyamata ndi atsikana opanda kuwala m'maso mwawo, omwe samalemekeza aliyense kapena chilichonse. Anali achiwawa, anali achiwawa kwambiri… ”Kenako anapangana ndi Thomas.

“Khalani omasuka kupatula nthawi. Mudzapeza zothandiza kunyamula nyali, ”adatero, akuloza nyali zinayi zosayatsa zomwe zimakhala patebulo laling'ono. Thomas adatsegula chitseko chaching'ono chagalasi cha m'modzi wa iwo ngati woyang'anira anatenga kandulo pafupi, ndiyeno anayatsa chingwe mkati mwa nyali.

"Zikomo," anatero Thomas, akugwadira pang'ono mkaziyo. Pozindikira kalankhulidwe kake, anafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndiwe Mmereka?”

"Ndinali," adayankha. "Nanunso?"

“Ayi.” Sanamve ngati akuyankhula za iyemwini. "Akudalitseni, ndikuthokozaninso." Anagwedeza ndikugwedeza dzanja lake kumalo owonetserako oyamba, amodzi mwa omwe anali mbali ya khoma lakunja la chipinda chachikulu, chotseguka.

Ichi sichinali malo osungiramo zinthu zakale kuyambira ali mwana wa a Thomas okhala ndi ziwonetsero zolumikizirana komanso magawo osuntha. Osatinso pano. Panalibe zofanizira pano. Uthenga wosavuta.

Anayenda kupita kuwonetsero koyamba. Linali chikwangwani chosavuta chamatabwa chokhala ndi timakandulo ta makandulo mbali zonse ziwiri. Script idatenthedwa bwino mu njere zake. Thomas adatsamira, atanyamula nyaliyo pafupi.

“Kodi ungathe kuwerenga zimenezo, wokondedwa?”

Tessa adayankhula mawuwa pang'onopang'ono, mwapemphero:

Maso a Ambuye amayang'ana olungama
ndi makutu ake akumva kulira kwawo.
Nkhope ya Ambuye ili pa ochita zoipa
kufafaniza chikumbukiro chawo pa dziko lapansi.

(Masalimo 34: 16-17)

Thomas mwachangu anayima chilili ndikumapumira.

“Zowona, a Tessa. Ambiri ananena kuti Malemba ngati awa anali fanizo chabe. Koma sanali. Koposa zonse zomwe tinganene, magawo awiri mwa atatu am'badwo wanga kulibenso padziko lapansi. ” Adakhala kaye pang'ono, akusaka kukumbukira kwake. "Pali Lemba lina lomwe limabwera m'maganizo mwanga, lochokera kwa Zekariya:

M'dziko lonselo, magawo awiri mwa atatu a iwo adzadulidwa ndi kuwonongeka, ndipo gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatuwo adzatsala. Ndidzalowetsa limodzi la magawo atatu pamoto, ndipo ndidzati, Ndiwo anthu anga, ndipo adzati, Yehova ndiye Mulungu wanga. (13: 8-9)

Atakhala chete kwakanthawi, adapita kuchionetsero chotsatira. Thomas modekha adamgwira mkono.

"Kodi muli bwino?"

“Inde, Grampa, ndili bwino.”

“Ndikuganiza kuti lero tiona zinthu zovuta. Sikuti kukugwedezani, koma kuti ndikuphunzitseni… kuphunzitsa ana anu. Ingokumbukirani, ife kukolola zomwe tinafesa. Chaputala chomaliza cha mbiriyakale ya anthu chisalembedwebe ndi inu. "

Tessa adagwedeza mutu. Atayandikira chiwonetsero chotsatira, kuwala kwa nyali yawo yowalitsa chiwonetserocho, adazindikira mawonekedwe omwe anali pamaso pake atakhala patebulo laling'ono.

"Ah," adatero. Ndi mwana wosabadwa. ”

Tessa adatambasula natenga zomwe zimawoneka ngati magazini yakale yopaka ulusi womanga ndi pulasitiki. Zala zake zinkadutsa chivundikirocho, ndikumva kusalala kwake. Chivundikiro chakutsogolo chinali ndi mawu akuti “MOYO” pamwamba pa zilembo zoyera zolimba pamakona ofiira ofiira. Pansi pamutu pake panali chithunzi cha mwana wakhanda atagona m'mimba mwa amayi ake.

"Ndi leni khanda, Grampa? ”

“Inde. Ndi chithunzi chenicheni. Yang'anani mkati. ”

Amasinthasintha masamba omwe, kudzera pazithunzi, adawulula magawo a moyo wa mwana wosabadwa. Kuwala kowala kwa nyali yoyatsa kumawunikira zodabwitsa zomwe zidadutsa pankhope pake. "Ahh, izi ndizodabwitsa." Koma atafika kumapeto kwa magaziniyi, kudabwitsidwa kudabwera.

“Chifukwa chiyani zili pano, Grampa?” Analoza chikwangwani chaching'ono chomwe chinali pamakhoma pamwamba pa tebulo. Anangowerenga kuti:

Usaphe ... Pakuti iwe unalenga mkatimu mwanga;
munandigwirira pamodzi m'mimba mwa amayi anga.

(Ekisodo 20:13, Masalmo 139: 13)

Mutu wake unagunda kwa iye ndi mawu ofunsa. Anayang'ana pansi pachikuto, ndikubwerera.

Thomas adapumira mwamba ndikufotokozera. “Pamene ndinali msinkhu wanu, maboma padziko lonse anali atanena kuti ndi 'ufulu wa mkazi' kupha mwana m'mimba mwake. Inde, sanamutche mwana. Ankazitcha 'kukula' kapena 'chibadwa cha mnofu' - 'mwana wosabadwa.' ”

"Koma," adadula, "zithunzi izi. Kodi sanawone zithunzi izi? ”

"Inde, koma - koma anthu adatsutsa kuti mwanayo sanali munthu. Kuti pokhapokha mwanayo atabadwa zidakhala munthu. ”^[4]cf. Kodi Fetus a Munthu? Tessa adatsegulanso magaziniyo kuti ayang'ane tsamba lomwe mwanayo akuyamwa chala chake chachikulu. Thomas adayang'anitsitsa m'maso mwake ndikupitiliza.

“Idafika nthawi yomwe madotolo amapeleka khanda pang'ono mpaka mutu udangotsala mwa mayi ake. Ndipo popeza 'sanabadwe kwathunthu,' chifukwa chake anganene kuti zinali zololedwa kupha. ”

"Chani?" adakuwa, kutseka pakamwa pake.

“Nkhondo yachitatu isanachitike, pafupifupi ana mabiliyoni awiri anali ataphedwa patadutsa zaka XNUMX mpaka XNUMX zokha.^[5]chinthanji.biz Zinali ngati 115,000 patsiku. Ndi ichi, ambiri amakhulupirira, chomwe chidabweretsa Chilango pa anthu. Inenso ndimatero. Chifukwa chowonadi, "adapitilizabe, kuloza mwana wosabadwa wapinki yemwe anali m'magaziniyo," kusiyana kokha pakati pa inu ndi mwanayo ndikuti ndi wocheperako. "

Tessa adayimilira osayima, maso ake atakhazikika pankhope pa mwanayo patsogolo pake. Patadutsa mphindi theka kapena kupitilira apo, adanong'oneza "Mabiliyoni awiri", ndikusintha magaziniyo modekha ndikuyamba kuyenda yekha kukawonetsera. Thomas adafika mphindi zingapo atanyamula nyali kuti awerenge zikwangwani zolendewera pakhoma.

Lemekeza atate wako ndi amako.

(Aefeso 6: 2)

Patebulo lamatabwa panali makina osutukasi okhala ndi machubu othamanga kuchokera pamenepo, ndipo pambali pake, singano zingapo zamankhwala. Pansi pawo panali chikwangwani china chokhala ndi mawu oti "HIPPOCRATIC OATH" pamwamba. Pansi, Thomas adazindikira zomwe zimawoneka ngati zolemba zachi Greek:

διαιτήμασί τε χρήσομαι ἐπ᾽ λὠφμνόντων
malo osungunuka osakhalitsa,
δ δηλήσει δὲ καὶ ἀδικίῃ εἴρξειν.

Momwe mungapangire mawonekedwe
Chipululu, Chinyanja
MALANGIZO OTSOGOLERA:
ὁμοίως δὲ οὐδὲ γυναικὶ sichikupezeka.

Pansipa panali kumasulira komwe Tessa adawerenga mokweza:

Ndigwiritsa ntchito mankhwala kuthandiza odwala
malinga ndi kuthekera kwanga ndi chiweruzo,
Koma osati ndi cholinga chovulala kapena kuchita zolakwika.
Komanso sindingapereke poyizoni kwa aliyense
mukafunsidwa kutero,
Komanso sindinganene zotere.

—Zaka za m’ma 3 mpaka 4 BC

Adakhala kaye mphindi. “Sindikumvetsa.” Koma Tomasi sananene chilichonse.

"Grampa?" Anatembenuka kuti awone misozi yokhayokha ikutsika patsaya lake. "Ndi chiyani?"

"Nthawi yomweyo pomwe amayamba kupha tiana," adatero, akulozera ku chiwonetsero chomaliza, "a boma linayamba kuloleza anthu kuti adziphe okha. Adati ndi 'ufulu' wawo. ” Akuponya mutu wake ku singano, adapitiliza. “Koma kenako adakakamiza madotolo kuti awathandize. Pamapeto pake, madokotala ndi anamwino anali kutenga miyoyo ya anthu mwachidwi powabaya ndi jakisoni kapena popanda chilolezo chawo — osati okalamba okha, ”adatero, kulozera lamulolo kuti Lemekeza atate wako ndi amako. "Amapha opsinjika mtima, osungulumwa, olumala, ndipo pamapeto pake" Anayang'ana Tessa mwamphamvu. "Pamapeto pake adayamba kuwalimbikitsa omwe sanatsatire Chipembedzo Chatsopano."

"Chimenecho chinali chiyani?" adadula.

"Mdima" adalamula kuti aliyense ayenera kupembedza kachitidwe kake, zikhulupiriro zake, ngakhale iye. Aliyense amene sanatengeredwe kumisasa komwe 'amaphunzitsidwanso.' Ngati izo sizinagwire ntchito, iwo anachotsedwa. Ndi izi. ” Anayang'ananso pansi pamakina ndi singano. “Icho chinali pachiyambi. Awo anali omwe anali "ndi mwayi". Pamapeto pake, ambiri anaphedwa mwankhanza, monga momwe mwina mwamvera. ”

Anameza kwambiri ndikupitiriza. “Koma mkazi wanga - Agogo aakazi — adagwa tsiku lina ndikuthyola bondo. Anadwala matenda owopsa ndipo adakhala mchipatala kwa milungu ingapo osachira. Adotolo adabwera tsiku limodzi ndipo adati ayenera kuganizira zodzipha. Anatinso zikhala 'zabwino kwa aliyense' komanso kuti akukalabe ndipo zikuwonongetsa "dongosolo" kwambiri. Inde, tinati ayi. Koma m'mawa mwake, anali atapita. ”

"Mukutanthauza-"

"Inde, adamutenga, Tessa." Anapukuta misozi pankhope pake. "Inde, ndikukumbukira, ndipo sindidzaiwala." Kenako akumuyang'ana ndikumwetulira pang'ono, nati, "Koma ndakhululuka."

Mawonekedwe atatu otsatirawa anali osamvetsetseka kwa Tessa. Zidali ndi zithunzi zojambulidwa m'mabuku ndi zakale zakale. Anthu owonda komanso otunduka, milu ya zigaza, nsapato, ndi zovala. Pambuyo pake powerenga zikwangwani zilizonse, a Thomas adafotokoza mwachidule mbiri ya ukapolo wazaka za m'ma XNUMX, za chiwonongeko cha chikomyunizimu ndi chipani cha Nazi, pomalizira pake kuzembetsa akazi ndi ana kuti agonane.

“Iwo amaphunzitsa m'sukulu kuti kulibe Mulungu, kuti dziko lapansi lidalengedwa mwangozi. Kuti chilichonse, kuphatikiza anthu, chinali chabe chotulukapo cha kusinthika. Communism, Nazism, Socialism… andale awa anali njira yokhayo yogwiritsira ntchito malingaliro okhulupirira kuti kulibe Mulungu omwe amachepetsa anthu kumangokhala mwayi wa ... mwayi. Ngati ndizo zonse zomwe tili, ndiye bwanji osalamulira omwe ali ofooka, athanzi akuchotsa odwala? Iwo anati, ichi chinali 'ufulu wawo' wachilengedwe. ”

Mwadzidzidzi, Tessa anadzidzimuka kwinaku atatsamira chithunzi chothothoka cha mwana wamng'ono wokutidwa ndi ntchentche, mikono ndi miyendo yake yopyapyala ngati milongoti yamatenti.

“Chachitika ndi chiyani, Grampa?”

Amuna ndi akazi amphamvu ankakonda kunena kuti padziko lapansi pakhala anthu ochuluka kwambiri ndipo tilibe chakudya chokwanira kudyetsa anthu ambiri. ”

“Kodi zinali zoona?”

“Ayi. Unali bedi. Nkhondo yachitatu isanachitike, mukadafanizira anthu onse padziko lapansi kukhala Texas kapena ngakhale mzinda wa Los Angeles.^[6]"Atakhala phewa ndi phewa, anthu padziko lonse lapansi amatha kukhala m'makilomita 500 a Los Angeles." -National Geographic, October 30th, 2011 Uh, Texas anali… chabwino, linali dziko lalikulu kwambiri. Komabe, panali chakudya chokwanira kudyetsa kawiri anthu padziko lapansi. Ndipo komabe… ”Anagwedeza mutu wake kwinaku akuyendetsa zala zake zadontho kudutsa pamimba potupa pa chithunzicho. “Anthu mamiliyoni ambiri anafa ndi njala pamene ife anthu a ku North America tinayamba kunenepa. Ichi chinali chimodzi mwa zopanda chilungamo zazikulu.^[7]“Anthu 100,000 amamwalira ndi njala kapena zotulukapo zake tsiku lililonse; ndipo pamphindi zisanu zilizonse, mwana amamwalira ndi njala. Zonsezi zikuchitika m'dziko lomwe lili kale ndi chakudya chokwanira kudyetsa mwana aliyense, mkazi komanso mwamuna ndipo limatha kudyetsa anthu 12 biliyoni "- Anatero Jean Ziegler, UN Special Rapporteu, Okutobala 26, 2007; nkhani.un.org Mabodza. Tikanawadyetsa… koma analibe chilichonse choti atipatse, ndiye kuti, mafuta osakaniza. Ndipo chifukwa chake timawalola kuti afe. Kapenanso tidawateteza. Mapeto ake, pambuyo pa nkhondo yachitatu, tinali onse wanjala. Ndikuganiza kuti nawonso anali chilungamo. ”

Nthawi yomweyo, Thomas adazindikira kuti sanayang'ane Tessa kwa mphindi zingapo. Anatembenuka ndikupeza kamtsikana kake kokoma kozizira koopsa momwe samamuwonera pankhope pake. Mlomo wake wapansi unanjenjemera uku misozi ikusefukira masaya ake ofiira. Tsitsi laubweya limamatira patsaya lake.

Pepani, a Tessa. ” Anamufungatira.

“Ayi…,” iye akutero, akugwedezeka pang'ono. "Ndine Pepani, Grampa. Sindikukhulupirira kuti mwakhalapo ndi zonsezi. ”

"Zachidziwikire, zina mwazinthuzi zidachitika ndisanabadwe, koma zonse zidali ngozi ya sitima yomweyi."

“Kodi sitima kwenikweni, Grampa ndi chiyani?”

Anaseka ndikumufinya mwamphamvu. “Tiyeni tipitilize. Mukuyenera ku kumbukirani, Tessa. ”

Chikwangwani chotsatira chidapachikidwa pakati pa ziboliboli ziwiri zazing'ono zamwamuna ndi mkazi wamaliseche zokutidwa bwino ndi masamba amkuyu. Anati:

Mulungu analenga anthu m'chifanizo chake;
m'chifanizo cha Mulungu adawalenga iwo;
adalenga iwo mwamuna ndi mkazi.

(Genesis 1: 27)

Thomas yemweyo adadabwa kwakanthawi kuti chiwonetserochi chimatanthauza chiyani. Ndipo kenako adazindikira zithunzi zomwe zidapachikidwa pakhoma kumanzere ndi kumanja kwa zifanizo. Atayandikira nyali yake pafupi, Tessa adatulutsa phokoso. “Kodi kuti? "

Analoza zithunzi za amuna azodzaza zodzikongoletsera ovala madiresi ndi zovala. Ena adawonetsa anthu atavala mosiyanasiyana pazoyandama. Anthu ena, opakidwa utoto woyera, amawoneka ngati masisitere ndipo ena ngati bishopu. Koma chithunzi chimodzi chidakopa chidwi cha Thomas makamaka. Zinali za munthu wamaliseche akuyenda modutsa omwe anali pafupi, ziwalo zake zobisika zidafafanizidwa ndi inki pang'ono. Pomwe owerenga mapwando angapo amawoneka kuti akusangalala ndi chiwonetserochi, mtsikana wina adabisa nkhope yake, akuwoneka wodabwitsidwa ngati Tessa.

“Pomaliza, tidali m'badwo womwe sukakhulupiriranso Mulungu, chifukwa chake, sitimakhulupiriranso tokha. Zomwe, komanso omwe tinali, titha kusinthidwanso kukhala ... chilichonse. ” Adaloza chithunzi china cha bambo atavala zovala zagalu atakhala pafupi ndi mkazi wake. "Mnyamata uyu amadziwika ngati galu." Tessa anaseka.

“Ndikudziwa, zikumveka ngati zopenga. Koma sinali nkhani yoseketsa. Anyamata aku sukulu adayamba kuphunzitsidwa kuti atha kukhala atsikana, ndi atsikana ang'onoang'ono kuti adzakhale amuna. Kapena kuti sangakhale amuna kapena akazi konse. Aliyense amene ankakayikira ngati izi zinali zoyenera ankazunzidwa. Amalume ako a Barry ndi akazi awo a Christine ndi ana awo adathawa mdzikolo pomwe aboma adaopseza kuti atenga ana awo chifukwa chosawaphunzitsa pulogalamu ya Boma ya 'sex'. Mabanja ena ambiri adabisala, ndipo mabanja ena adagawanika ndi Boma. Makolowo adanenedwa za 'kuzunza ana' pomwe ana awo anali 'ophunzitsidwanso.' O Ambuye, zinali zitasokonezeka kwambiri. Sindingathe kukuwuzani zinthu zomwe adabweretsa m'zipinda zamasukulu kuti aphunzitse anyamata ndi atsikana osalakwa, ena azaka zazaka zisanu. Ugh. Tiyeni tipitirire. ”

Adadutsa chiwonetsero chimodzi chokhala ndi zithunzi zingapo zamatupi a anthu zokutidwa ndi mphini. Chiwonetsero china chinali ndi zithunzi zadothi losweka ndi zomera zodwala.

"Chimenecho ndi chiyani?" Adafunsa. "Ndiopopera mbewu," Grampa adayankha. "Akupopera mankhwala pachakudya chomwe amalima."

Chiwonetsero china chinawonetsera m'mbali mwa nsomba zakufa komanso zilumba zazikulu za pulasitiki ndi zinyalala zoyandama munyanja. "Tangotayira zinyalala zathu m'nyanja," adatero a Thomas. Adapitilira chiwonetsero china pomwe kalendala imodzi imapachikika ndi masabata asanu ndi limodzi okha ndipo masiku onse achikhristu achotsedwa. Chikalatacho chinkati:

Iye adzalankhula motsutsana ndi Wam'mwambamwamba
ndipo muwononge oyera a Wam'mwambamwamba,
akufuna kusintha madyerero ndi lamulo.

(Daniel 7: 25)

Chiwonetsero chotsatira pansi pa zikwangwani panali chithunzi chachikuto china chamagazini. Idawonetsa ana awiri ofanana akuyang'anizana. 

Ambuye Mulungu anaumba munthu ndi dothi lapansi,
nauzira mpweya wa moyo m'mphuno mwake;
munthuyo nakhala wamoyo.

(Genesis 2: 7)

Patebulopo panali zithunzi zina za nkhosa ndi agalu ofanana, ana ena ofanana, komanso zithunzi za zolengedwa zina zomwe sanazizindikire. Pansi pawo, chikwangwani china chidati:

Zowonadi palibe aliyense wamaganizidwe abwino amene angakayikire za mpikisanowu
pakati pa munthu ndi Wammwambamwamba.
Munthu, kugwiritsa ntchito molakwika ufulu wake, akhoza kuphwanya ufulu
ndi ukulu wa Mlengi wa chilengedwe chonse;
koma chigonjetso chidzakhala ndi Mulungu nthawi zonse, Ayi,
kugonjetsedwa kuli pafupi panthawi yomwe munthu,
pansi pa chinyengo cha kupambana kwake,
imadzuka ndikulimba mtima kwambiri.

—PAPA ST. PIUS X, E Supremi, n. 6, Okutobala 4, 1903

Atawerenga mawuwo mokweza, Tessa adafunsa kuti chiwonetserochi chonse chikutanthauza chiyani.

“Ngati munthu samakhulupiriranso Mulungu ndipo sakhulupiriranso kuti iye analengedwa m'chifanizo cha Mulungu, ndiye chikumuletsa nchiyani kutenga malo a Mlengi? Chimodzi mwa zoyesayesa zoyipa kwambiri pamtundu wa anthu chinali pomwe asayansi adayamba kupangira anthu. ”

"Mukutanthauza, atero ... Um, mukutanthauza chiyani?"

"Adapeza njira yolenga munthu popanda bambo ndi mayi m'njira yachilengedwe yomwe Mulungu amafuna - kudzera muukwati. Mwachitsanzo, atha kutenga maselo mthupi lanu, ndipo mwa iwo, amakupangitsani inu enanso. ” Tessa anabwerera m'mbuyo modabwa. "Pamapeto pake, adayesa kupanga gulu lankhondo - makina omenyera opambana anthu. Kapena makina apamwamba kwambiri okhala ndi machitidwe amunthu. Kusiyana pakati pa anthu, makina, ndi nyama sikungowonekanso. ” Tessa anapukusa mutu pang'onopang'ono. Thomas adayang'ana nkhope yake yokoka, ndikuwona kusakhulupirira kwake.

Pa chiwonetsero chotsatira, adayang'ana pansi patebulo lalikulu lamabokosi ndi zokutira ndikuzindikira msanga zomwe anali. “Kodi ndi momwe chakudya chinkawonekera nthawi imeneyo, Grampa?” Chakudya chokha chomwe Tessa anali nacho chinali kulima m'chigwa chachonde chomwe adachitcha kuti nyumba (koma opulumukawo amatchedwa "Malo Opatulika"). Nthonje zaku lalanje, mbatata zonenepa, nandolo zazikulu zobiriwira, tomato wofiira kwambiri, mphesa zokoma ... izi zinali pano chakudya.

Anali atamvapo nkhani za "masitolo akuluakulu" ndi "masitolo ogulitsa," koma amangowonako zakudya zamtunduwu kamodzi kokha. “O! Ndamuwonapo, Grampa, ”adatero, akuloza bokosi laphala lomwe linali lofooka lokhala ndi kamnyamata kakang'ono moderera, kakunyinyirika komwe kakuyandama ndi zidutswa zofiira, zachikaso ndi buluu. "Munali m'nyumba yosiyidwayo pafupi ndi Dauphin. Koma akudya chiyani padziko lapansi? ”

"Kodi inu?"

"Inde?"

“Ndikufuna ndikufunseni funso. Ngati anthu amakhulupirira kuti sanapangidwenso m'chifanizo cha Mulungu komanso kuti kulibe moyo wamuyaya — kuti zonse zomwe zilipo ndi zomwe zilipo tsopano ndipo mukuganiza kuti akanatani? ”

"Hm." Anayang'ana pansi pa benchi yokhota kumbuyo kwake ndikukhala m'mphepete. "Chabwino, ndikuganiza ... ndikuganiza kuti angokhala ndi moyo kwakanthawi, kuyesera kuti apindule nazo, inde?"

"Inde, amafunafuna zosangalatsa zilizonse zomwe angathe komanso kupewa mavuto aliwonse omwe angakhalepo. Kodi mukuvomereza?"

"Inde, ndizomveka."

"Ndipo ngati sanazengereze kuchita ngati milungu, kulenga ndi kuwononga moyo, kusintha matupi awo, mukuganiza kuti akadasokoneza chakudya chawo?"

"Inde".

“Chabwino, anatero. Idafika nthawi yoti zinali zovuta kuti aliyense wa ife apeze mtundu wa chakudya chomwe mukudziwa tsopano. ”

"Chani? Mulibe masamba kapena zipatso? Palibe yamatcheri, maapulo, malalanje…. ”

“Sindinanene choncho. Zinali zovuta kupeza chakudya chilichonse chomwe sichinasinthidwe chibadwa, chomwe asayansi sanasinthe mwanjira ina kuti ... aziwoneka bwino, kapena kukhala olimba ku matenda, kapena china chilichonse. ”

“Kodi yamveka bwino?”

“Ayi, ayi! Zambiri sizinalawe chilichonse monga zomwe timadya m'chigwachi. Tinkazitcha 'Frankenfood' kutanthauza kuti… o, iyi ndi nkhani ina. ”

Thomas adatenga zokutira maswiti, zomwe zidalowa m'malo mwa Styrofoam.

“Tinali kupatsidwa chiphe, Tessa. Anthu anali kudya zakudya zodzaza ndi mankhwala ochokera kuulimi panthawiyo komanso poizoni kuti asunge kapena kununkhiritsa. Ankavala zodzoladzola zoopsa; kumwa madzi ndi mankhwala ndi mahomoni; anapuma mpweya woipa; amadya mitundu yonse yazinthu zopangidwa, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti zidapangidwa ndi anthu. Anthu ambiri adwala… mamiliyoni ndi mamiliyoni.… Adayamba kunenepa, kapena matupi awo adayamba kuzima. Mitundu yonse ya khansa ndi matenda adaphulika; matenda amtima, shuga, Alzheimers, zinthu zomwe simunamvepo. Mukamayenda mumsewu mumatha kuona kuti anthu sali bwino. ”

Ndiye adatani? ”

"Chabwino, anthu anali kumwa mankhwala… tinawatcha 'mankhwala.' Koma ichi chinali chothandizira bande basi, ndipo nthawi zambiri chimapangitsa anthu kudwala. M'malo mwake, nthawi zina anali omwewo omwe amapanga chakudyacho omwe amapanga mankhwalawa kuti athandize iwo omwe akudwala ndi chakudya chawo. Nthawi zambiri amangowonjezera poizoni ndipo amapeza ndalama zambiri pozichita. ” Anapukusa mutu. "Ambuye, tinkagwiritsira ntchito mankhwala osokoneza bongo pa chilichonse."

"Bweretsani nyali pansi pano, Grampa." Anasunthira pambali bokosi lotchedwa "Wagon Wheels" lomwe linali ndi zikwangwani patebulo. Anayamba kuwerenga:

Pamenepo Yehova Mulungu anatenga munthuyo nakhazikika naye
m'munda wa Edene, kuti aulime ndi kuusamalira.
Ambuye Mulungu analamula munthu kuti,
Muli aufulu kudya zipatso zilizonse zam'munda
kupatula mtengo wodziwitsa chabwino ndi choipa.

(Genesis 2: 15-17)

“Hm. Inde, ”atero a Thomas. “Mulungu watipatsa zonse zomwe timafunikira. Ambiri a ife tidayamba kuzindikiranso tsikulo — zinthu zomwe mumaziyesa mopepuka tsopano — kuti masamba, zitsamba, ndi mafuta m'chilengedwe cha Mulungu kuchiza. Koma ngakhale izi Boma linayesa kuletsa ngati siziletsedwa. ” Ataponyera zokutira pompano patebulo, adang'ung'udza. “Chakudya cha Mulungu ndiye chopambana. Ndikhulupirire."

“O, sukuyenera kunditsimikizira, Grampa. Makamaka azakhali Mary akapika! Kodi ndi ine ndekha, kapena adyo siabwino kwambiri? ”

"Ndipo cilantro," adaonjeza ndikumwetulira. "Tikukhulupirirabe kuti tidzapeza phesi la mbewuzo zomwe zikumera kwinakwake masiku ano."

Koma nkhope yake idakhumudwanso pachionetsero chotsatira.

"Oo Pepa." Icho chinali chithunzi cha mwana ali ndi singano mdzanja lake. Anayamba kufotokoza momwe mankhwala omwe amatchedwa "maantibayotiki" sakugwiranso ntchito, aliyense adalamulidwa kuti atenge "katemera" wamatenda omwe adayamba kupha anthu masauzande ambiri.

“Zinali zoopsa. Kumbali imodzi, anthu anali kudwala modetsa nkhawa, kutuluka magazi mpaka kufa kokha mwa kupuma mavairasi mlengalenga. Komano, katemera wokakamizidwa anali kuchititsa chidwi chachikulu mwa anthu ambiri. Anali a ndende kapena anagubuduza dayisi. ”

“Katemera wotetezedwa ndi chiyani?” Adafunsa, akutchula mawu.

“Panthaŵiyo ankakhulupirira kuti ngati aloŵetsa anthu kachilombo ka HIV — mtundu wina wa kachilomboko—”

“Kodi kachilombo ndi chiyani?” Thomas adamuyang'anitsitsa. Nthawi zina ankadabwitsidwa ndi momwe mbadwo wawo sunadziwire zazowononga zomwe zidachitika ali mwana. Imfa tsopano inali yosowa, ndipo inali kokha mwa okalamba kwambiri opulumuka. Adakumbukira ulosi wa Yesaya wonena za nthawi yamtendere:

Monga zaka za mtengo, momwemonso zaka za anthu anga;
ndipo osankhidwa anga adzasangalala nthawi yaitali ndi zipatso za manja awo.
Sadzagwira ntchito mwachabe, kapena kubereka ana kuchiwonongeko chodzidzimutsa;
chifukwa iwo ndi mbewu yawo adalitsidwa ndi Yehova.

(Yesaya 65: 22-23)

Komanso sanathe kufotokoza bwino chifukwa chake iye, poyerekeza ndi ana makumi asanu ndi anayi ndi ena omwe anali atadziwa kale, anali ndi mphamvu zambiri ndipo anali wolimba ngati wazaka makumi asanu ndi limodzi. Ali mkati mokambirana pankhaniyi ndi ansembe ochokera ku Sanctuary ina, m'busa wachichepere wina adatulutsa mulu wamapepala akale osindikizidwa pamakompyuta, adakumba iwo kwa mphindi, mpaka atapeza tsamba lomwe akufuna. "Tamverani ameneyu," adatero ndi diso lakuthwa. “Ndikukhulupirira kuti Bambo wa Tchalitchi ameneyu anali kunena za wathu nthawi: ”

Ndiponso, sipadzakhala mwana wosakhwima, kapena wokalamba amene sakwaniritsa nthawi yake; pakuti wachinyamata adzakhala wa zaka zana… - St. Irenaeus waku Lyons, Tate wa Mpingo (140-202 AD); Adamsokoneza Haereses, Bk. 34, Ch. 4

"Ngati sukufuna kulankhula za izi, zili bwino, Grampa." Thomas adabwereranso mpaka pano.

“Ayi, pepani. Ndimaganiza za chinthu china. Kodi tinali kuti? Ah, katemera, mavairasi. Tizilombo toyambitsa matenda ndi kachinthu kakang'ono kwambiri kamene kamalowa m'magazi anu ndikukudwalitsani. ” Tessa adasokoneza mphuno ndi milomo yake, kuwonetsa kuti asokonezeka. “Mfundo ndiyakuti. Pamapeto pake, zinawululidwa kuti matenda ambiri omwe amapangitsa anthu kudwala, makamaka ana, makanda… amachokera pakuwabaya jakisoni wa katemera wambiri omwe amayenera kuti amawadwalitsa. Pofika nthawi yomwe timazindikira zomwe akuchita kwa anthu padziko lonse lapansi, zinali zitatha. ”

Anakweza nyali yake. "Kodi chikwangwanicho chimati chiyani za iyeyu?"

Ambuye ndiye Mzimu, ndipo kumene kuli Mzimu wa Ambuye,
pali ufulu.

(2 Akorinto 3: 17)

"Hmm," adafuula.

“Chifukwa chiyani Lemba ili?” Adafunsa.

"Zikutanthauza kuti nthawi iliyonse yomwe timakakamizidwa kuchita china chake motsutsana ndi chikumbumtima chathu, nthawi zonse imakhala mphamvu yowononga ya Satana, wabodza wakale komanso wambanda wakale. M'malo mwake, ndikulingalira kuti chiwonetsero chotsatira chidzakhala chiani .. ”

Iwo anali atafika pachiwonetsero chomaliza. Tessa anatenga nyali ndikuyiyika mpaka chikwangwani pakhoma. Linali lalikulu kwambiri kuposa enawo. Anawerenga pang'onopang'ono:

Kenako analoledwa kupumira m'chifaniziro cha chilombo,
kotero kuti fano la chirombo likhoza kulankhula ndi kukhala nacho
aliyense amene samalilambira ankamupha.
Linakakamiza anthu onse, aang'ono ndi akulu,
olemera ndi osauka, omasuka ndi akapolo,
kuti apatsidwe chithunzi chosindikizidwa kudzanja lawo lamanja kapena pamphumi pawo,
kotero kuti palibe amene akanatha kugula kapena kugulitsa kupatula m'modzi
amene anali nacho chithunzi chosindikizidwa cha dzina la chilombo
kapena nambala yomwe imayimira dzina lake.

Chiwerengero chake ndi mazana asanu ndi limodzi mphambu makumi asanu ndi limodzi mphambu zisanu ndi chimodzi.

(Chivumbulutso 13: 15-18)

Pa tebulo ili m'munsiyi panali chithunzi chimodzi cha mkono wamwamuna chokhala ndi chilembo chachilendo. Pamwamba pa gome, bokosi lalikulu lakuda lakuda lapachikidwa pakhoma. Pambali pake panali mabokosi ang'onoang'ono ang'onoang'ono, akuda akuda mosiyanasiyana. Iye anali asanawonepo kanema wawayilesi, kompyuta, kapena foni yam'manja kale, motero sanadziwe zomwe amayang'ana. Anatembenuka kuti afunse Thomas za chiyani, koma kunalibe. Anayendetsa matayala kuti ampeze atakhala pa benchi chapafupi.

Anakhala pambali pake, ndikuyatsa nyali pansi. Manja ake anali ataphimbidwa kumaso kwake ngati kuti sakuyang'ananso. Maso ake adayang'ana zala zake zakuda komanso zikhadabo. Anaphunzira zipsera pachikopa chake komanso zaka pamanja. Amayang'ana pamutu pathunthu watsitsi loyera loyera ndipo sanathe kukana kufikira kuti ayiphulitse pang'ono. Anamufungatira, adatsamira mutu wake paphewa, ndipo adakhala chete.

Kuunika kwa nyali kunkawala pakhoma pomwe maso ake adazolowera pang'onopang'ono kupita kuchipinda chamdima. Pomwepo ndi pomwe adawona chinsalu chachikulu chojambulidwa pamwambapa chikuwonekera. Zinali za Munthu atakwera hatchi yoyera atavala korona. Maso ake anawala ndi moto ngati lupanga lotuluka mkamwa Mwake. Pa ntchafu Yake panalembedwa mawu, “Wokhulupirika ndi Woona” ndi pa chovala Chake chofiira, atakuta golide, “Mawu a Mulungu”. Pamene adayang'ana mopitirira mumdima, amakhoza kuwona gulu la okwera ena kumbuyo Kwake akukwera, kukwera, kulinga padenga. Chithunzicho chinali chachilendo, osafanana ndi chilichonse. Zinkawoneka ngati zamoyo, kuvina ndikuthwanima konse kwa lawi la nyali.

Thomas adapumira mwakuya ndikupinda manja ake patsogolo pake, maso ali pansi. Tessa adadziwongola nati, "Tawonani."

Anayang'ana pomwe anali kuloza ndipo, pakamwa pake potseguka pang'onopang'ono, adayamba kuyang'ana. Anayamba kugwedeza mutu ndikuseka mwakachetechete. Kenako mawu ochokera mkatikati anayamba kutuluka ndi liwu lonjenjemera. “Yesu, Yesu, Yesu wanga… inde, tikukulemekezani, Yesu. Akudalitseni, Mbuye wanga, Mulungu wanga ndi Mfumu yanga…. ” Tessa mwakachetechete adalumikizana ndi matamando ake ndikuyamba kulira pamene Mzimu udagwera pa iwo onse. Pemphero lawo lodzipereka linatha ndipo pamapeto pake, adakhala chete. Zithunzi zonse zapoizoni zomwe adaziwona poyamba zimangokhala ngati zasungunuka.

Thomas adatulutsa mkatikati mwa moyo wake ndikuyamba kuyankhula.

“Dziko linali likugwa. Nkhondo inali itayambika paliponse. Kuphulikako kunali kowopsa. Bomba limodzi limatha kuphulika, ndipo anthu miliyoni miliyoni apita. Wina akhoza kugwa ndipo winanso miliyoni. Mipingo inali kuwotchedwa pansi ndipo ansembe… O Mulungu!… Analibe pobisalira. Ngati iwo sanali Jihadists, iwo anali anarchists; ngati akanakhala kuti sanatsutse, anali apolisi. Aliyense amafuna kuwapha kapena kuwamanga. Kunali chipwirikiti. Panali njala ndipo, monga ndidanenera, matenda kulikonse. Munthu aliyense payekha. Apa ndipamene angelo adatitsogolera angapo kupitilira kwakanthawi kochepa. Osati Mkhristu aliyense, koma ambiri aife. ”

Tsopano, ali wachinyamata wa Thomas, wazaka khumi ndi zisanu zilizonse yemwe adamva kuti wina akuwona angelo angaganize kuti mwina ndinu osawerengeka kapena angakufunseni mafunso zana. Koma osati m'badwo wa Tessa. Oyera mtima nthawi zambiri amayendera mizimu monganso angelo. Zinali ngati chophimba pakati pa kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi chakokedwa, pang'ono pang'ono. Zinamupangitsa kuganiza za Lemba limeneli mu Uthenga Wabwino wa Yohane:

Amen, indetu, ndinena ndi inu, Mudzawona thambo lotseguka, ndi angelo a Mulungu akwera natsikira pa Mwana wa Munthu. (Juwau 1:51)

"Kuti apulumuke, anthu adathawa m'mizinda, yomwe idakhala malo achitetezo pakati pa zigawenga. Chiwawa, kugwiririra, kupha… zinali zoyipa. Omwe adathawa adakhazikitsa magulu olondera, okhala ndi zida zambiri. Chakudya chinali chosowa, koma osachepera anthu anali otetezeka, kwakukulukulu.

“Zinali pamenepo ndiye he anabwera. ”

“Iye?” adatero, akuloza padengapo.

“Ayi, iye. ” Iye analoza kumunsi kwa chithunzicho kumene mapazi a kavalo woyera anali atakwera pamwamba pa dziko lapansi laling'ono lolembedwa nambala ya “666”. "Iye anali 'Mdima', monga timamutchulira. Wokana Kristu. Wosayeruzika. Chirombo. Mwana Wachiwonongeko. Mwambo uli ndi mayina ambiri. ”

“Bwanji wamutcha Mdima?”

Thomas adasiya kuseka pang'ono, kosamveka bwino, ndikutsatidwa ndikupumira, ngati kuti anali kulimbana kuti amvetsetse malingaliro ake.

Zinthu zonse zinali kusokonekera. Ndipo kenako adadza. Kwa nthawi yoyamba pakati pa miyezi ndi miyezi, panali mtendere. Mosadziwika, gulu lankhondo lovekedwa loyera lidabwera ndi chakudya, madzi oyera, zovala, ngakhale maswiti. Magetsi anabwezeretsedwanso m'madera ena, ndipo anaikamo zikwangwani zikuluzikulu m'malo ngati omwe anali pakhoma, koma okulirapo kwambiri. Amawonekera pa iwo ndikulankhula nafe, kudziko lapansi, zamtendere. Chilichonse chimene amalankhula chimamveka bwino. Ndidadzipeza ndekha ndikumkhulupirira, akufuna kukhulupirira mwa iye.

Tinayamba kudzifunsa ngati ichi sichinali chiyambi cha Nyengo Yamtendere! ”

“Bwanji sunaganize choncho?”

“Chifukwa sanatchulepo za Yesu. Inde, adamugwira mawu. Koma kenako anagwira mawu a Muhammad, Buddha, Gandhi, St. Teresa waku Calcutta, ndi ena ambiri. Zinali zosokoneza chifukwa simunathe kutsutsana… ndi chowonadi. Komano… ”Akuloza nyali pansi, anapitiriza. "Monga momwe lawi lamoto limabweretsa kuwala ndi kutentha mchipinda chino, limangokhala kachigawo kakang'ono chabe ka kuwala, kwa utawaleza, mwachitsanzo.

"Mukutanthauza chiyani?"

“Panali kugawikana kwakukulu pakati pa Akhristu ambiri. Anthu omwe mulungu wawo anali m'mimba mwawo adatinena enafe kuti ndife zigawenga zenizeni zamtendere, ndipo adachoka. ”

“Ndiyeno chiyani? '

“Kenako panadza Lamulo la Mtendere. Linali lamulo latsopano ladziko lapansi. Mtundu uliwonse udasainira izi, ndikupereka ulamuliro wawo kwathunthu kwa Wamdima ndi khonsolo yake. Kenako, iye anakakamiza aliyense…. "

Mawu a Tessa adalumikizana naye pomwe amawerenga zikwangwani.

… Zazing'ono ndi zazikulu,

“Sitinatengeredwe pachilichonse. Kuyambira kugula mafuta pagalimoto yathu, chakudya cha ana athu, zovala kumsana. Sitinathe kuchita chilichonse. Poyamba, anthu anali ndi mantha. Momwemonso ndinaliri, kunena zowona. Ambiri adatenga chizindikirocho ... ngakhale mabishopu. ” Thomas anayang'ana kudenga lomwe linali lakuda ngati usiku. "O Ambuye, achitireni chifundo."

"Nanunso? Wachita chiyani, Grampa? ”

“Akhristu ambiri adabisala, koma zidali zopanda ntchito. Iwo anali ndi teknoloji kuti akupezeni inu kulikonse. Ambiri mwadzidzidzi adapereka miyoyo yawo.

"Who? Mdimawo? ”

“Ayi Yesu.”

“Mwawona Yesu? ” Momwe adafunsa funsoli zidawonetsa kuti amamukonda kwambiri.

“Inde. Adayimirira pamaso panga, Tessa — monga momwe mumamuwonera atavala pamenepo. ” Anabwerera kuyang'anitsitsa m'nyumbamo misozi ikutsika m'maso mwake.

"Iye anati, 'Ndikukupatsani chisankho: Kuvala korona wofera chikhulupiriro kapena kuveketsa ana anu ndi ana a ana anu kudziwa ine.' ”

Ndi izi, Tessa adayamba kulira. Anagwera pamapazi a Grampa ndikulira mpaka thupi lake litapumira. Atakhala phee onse, adakhala tsonga ndikuyang'ana m'maso mwake mwakuya, mwachikondi.

“Zikomo, a Grampa. Zikomo posankha ife. Zikomo chifukwa cha mphatso ya Yesu. Zikomo chifukwa cha mphatso yakumudziwa Iye yemwe ali Moyo wanga ndi Mpweya wanga. Zikomo." Anatseka maso, ndipo kwa kanthawi, onse omwe amakhoza kuwona anali Khristu mwa winayo.

Kupanga Chizindikiro cha Mtanda, adakhalanso pansi ndikutsamira kwa iye kwinaku akumunong'oneza khutu. Ankaganiza mumtima mwake kuti kuulula tchimo laling'ono ngati limeneli, ngakhale litakhala tchimolo, kukananyoza wansembe wouma khosi. Koma ayi. Era iyi inali nthawi ya Moto wa Refiner. Inali nthawi yoti Mkwatibwi wa Khristu akhale wangwiro, wopanda banga kapena chilema.

A Thomas adadzukanso, ndikusanjika manja awo pamutu ndikuweramira mpaka milomo yawo isanakhudze tsitsi lawo. Adanong'oneza pemphero m'malilime omwe samadziwa ndikutulutsa mawu okhululuka pomwe amatsata Chizindikiro cha Mtanda pamwamba pake. Anamugwira manja, ndikumunyamula mmanja mwake, ndikumugwira mwamphamvu.

Iye anati: “Ndine wokonzeka kupita.

“Inenso Grampa.”

Mwa chifundo chachikulu cha Mulungu wathu,

ndi kuwongolera mapazi athu panjira yamtendere…
Tikuthokoza Mulungu amene amatipatsa chigonjetso

(Luka, 1: 78-79; 1 Akorinto 15:57)

"Inde, tikuthokoza Mulungu," Tomasi adanong'oneza.
