ABOUT makore gumi nematatu apfuura, mudzimai wangu neni, tese tiri vana vechechi-Katurike, takakokwa kuchechi yeBaptist neshamwari yedu yaimbova Katurike.
Takatora musangano weSvondo mangwanani. Patakasvika, takabva tangorohwa nevese vakaroorana vechidiki. Kwakatipenyera isu pakarepo kuti sei shoma vechidiki ikoko vaive vadzoka mukereke medu yeKaturike.
Takapinda munzvimbo ino yanhasi ndokutora zvigaro zvedu. Bhendi rakatanga kutungamira ungano mukunamata. Vaimbi nevaimbi vaive vangangoita vezera redu- uye vakapenyerwa zvikuru. Mumhanzi wainge wakazodzwa uye kunamatwa kwaisimudzira. Nguva pfupi yapfuura, mufundisi akaendesa meseji yake nechido, hunyanzvi, uye nesimba.
Mushure mesevhisi, ini nemukadzi wangu takaziviswa kune vazhinji vevakaroorana vaivapo. Kunyemwerera, zviso zvinodziya zvakatikoka kudzoka, kwete chete kusevhisi, asi husiku hwevaviri vechidiki uye chimwe chiitiko chekurumbidza nekunamata kwevhiki. Takanzwa kudiwa, kugamuchirwa, uye kukomborerwa.
Patakakwira mumota kuti tiende, chandakangofunga yaive parishi rangu… mimhanzi isina kusimba, mhuri dzisina kusimba, uye kunyange kutora chikamu kwakaneta neungano. Vakaroora vechidiki vezera redu? Chaizvoizvo kutsakatika mumapews. Chainyanya kurwadza yaive pfungwa yekusurukirwa. Ndaiwanzosiya Misa ndichinzwa kutonhora kupfuura pandaipinda.
Pataienda nemota, ndakati kumukadzi wangu, “Tinofanira kudzoka pano. Tinogona kugamuchira Yukaristiya paMisa zuva nezuva neMuvhuro. ” Ndakanga ndichingoseka hafu. Takaenda nemotokari kumba tichivhiringidzika, takasuruvara, uye kunyange takatsamwa.
Kudana
Husiku ihwohwo pandakange ndichichenesa mazino angu muchimbuzi, ndisina kumuka uye ndichiyangarara pazviitiko zvezuva iri, ndakangoerekana ndanzwa izwi rakasiyana mukati memoyo wangu:
Gara, uve nechiedza kuhama dzako…
Ndakamira, ndikatarisa, ndikateerera. Izwi rakadzokororwa:
Gara, uve nechiedza kuhama dzako…
Ndakaoma mate mukanwa. Ndichifamba pasi pasi ndakashama muromo, ndakawana mukadzi wangu. "Mudiwa, ndinofunga Mwari anoda kuti tigare muChechi yeKaturike." Ndakamuudza zvakaitika, uye sekuwirirana kwakakwana pamusoro penziyo mumoyo mangu, akabvuma.
KUMUKA
Asi Mwari vaitofanira kubata neni. Ndakasvotwa nemararaise muChurch. Sezvo ndakakurira mumusha umo “evhangeri” rakanga riri izwi ratakashandisa chaizvo, ndakave nekuziva kwakasimba kwedambudziko rerutendo rwuri kufashaira pasi pechiso cheChechi muCanada. Zvakare, ndanga ndichitanga kusava nechokwadi nekutenda kwangu kwechiKaturike… Maria, purigatori, hupirisita hwekusaroora…. munoziva, zvakajairwa.
Mavhiki mashoma gare gare, takaenda kunzvimbo yevabereki vangu maawa mashoma kubva. Amai vakati vane vhidhiyo iyi yandaifanira kungoona chete. Ndakatsika mukamuri yekutandarira ndiri ndega, ndokutanga kuteerera kune aimbova muPresbyterian mufundisi achiudza wake nyaya pamusoro pekuti aive akanyanya sei kupokana neKatorike njere dzaaigona kufunga nezvadzo. Akange achinetsekana nezvaitaurwa neKatorike, zvekuti akafunga kuzviratidza nenzira yezvakaitika uye nedzidziso yezvouMwari. Sezvo Chechi yeKaturike ndiyo yega yekutenda kwechiKristu yaidzidzisa izvo kuberekwa haasi muhurongwa hwaMwari uye nekudaro ane hunhu, anovaratidza kuti havana kururama.
Kubudikidza nekushingaira kudzidza kwaBaba veChechi, nharo dzedzidziso, uye dzidziso yeChechi, Dr. Scott Hahn akawana kuti Chechi yeKaturike yakanga rudyi. Izvi hazvina kumutendeutsa, zvakadaro. Zvakamupa hasha.
Sezvo Dr. Hahn paakaedza kuburitsa imwe neimwe yedzidziso dzeChechi imwe neimwe, akawana chinokatyamadza maitiro: yega yedzidziso idzi yaisakwanisa kungotevedzwa kuburikidza nemazana emakore muketani isingadambuke Tsika kuna Kristu neVaapositori, asi ipapo yakanga iri hwaro hwebhaibheri hunoshamisa kwavari.
ake uchapupu akaenderera mberi. Akange asingachagone kuramba chokwadi pamberi pake: Chechi yeKaturike yaive kereke yakatangwa naKristu pana Peter, padombo. Mukupesana nekuda kwemukadzi wake, Dr. Hahn akazove muKaturike, achiteverwa gare gare nemurume wake, Kimberly… ipapo makumi ezviuru evaKristu vanobva kumasangano akati wandei, kusanganisira kukoromoka kwevafundisi vePurotesitendi. Uchapupu hwake chete hunogona kunge hwakakonzera kubuda kukuru kupinda Chechi kubva kuma1500 pakaonekwa madzimai edu eGuadalupe kupfuura mamirioni mapfumbamwe eMexico. (A kopi yemahara yeuchapupu hwaDr Hahn hunopihwa pano.)
Vhidhiyo yapera. Yakatsiga ichidzedzereka ichitarisana nechiratidziri. Misodzi, ichiyerera nematama angu. "Iyi ndiyo imba yangu,”Ndakadaro nechemumoyo. Zvaiita sekunge Mweya wainge wamutsa mandiri iyo ndangariro yemakore zviuru zviviri.
KUWANA CHOKWADI
Chinhu mukati mangu chakandikurudzira kuchera zvakadzika. Kwemakore maviri akatevera, ndakadurura pamusoro peMagwaro, zvakanyorwa naVababa veChechi, nemidziyo inoshamisa iyo yaibuda musangano idzva re "ruregerero". Ini ndaida kuona, kuverenga, uye kuziva ndega kuti chokwadi chaive chii.
Ndinoyeuka ndichizembera pamusoro peBhaibheri rimwe zuva, musoro mukuru uchipera pandakaedza kunzwisisa basa raMaria muChechi. "Chii icho nezvaMaria, Ishe? Nei achizivikanwa zvakadaro? ”
Ipapo ipapo, hama yangu yakaridza bhero repasuo. Paul, uyo ari mudiki kwandiri, akabvunza mafambiro andakaita. Pandakamutsanangurira kushushikana kwangu kwemukati, akagara zvinyararire pamubhedha ndokuti, “Hazvishamise here kuti hatifanirwe kuzvifunga zvese- kuti tinokwanisa kuvimba Jesu kuti Ari kutungamira vaApostora nevatevedzeri vavo muchokwadi chose, sekutaura kwaAkaita. ” (John 16: 13)
Yakanga iri nguva ine simba, kuvhenekera. Ndakaona ipapo kuti kunyangwe ndaisanzwisisa zvese, Ndakange ndakachengeteka mumaoko aAmai Kereke. Ndakaona kuti kana chokwadi chikasiirwa munhu wese kuti azvionere ega, zvichibva pa "manzwiro" ake, "kunzwisisa", kana izvo zvaanonzwa "Mwari achiti" kwaari, taizoita mhirizhonga. Taizove nekuparadzaniswa. Tingave nezviuru zvemasangano nezviuru zve “mapapa”, vese vachizviti havana chavanokanganisa, achitivimbisa izvozvo ivo iva nekona pachokwadi. Tichava nezvatinazvo nhasi.
Pasina nguva refu, Ishe vakataura rimwe izwi mumoyo mangu, rakajeka, zvine simba seizvi:
Mumhanzi musuwo weevhangeri…
Ndakagadzirisa gitare rangu, ndikafona, uye zvakatanga.
