Isipho saseNigeria

IT yayingumlenze wokugqibela wokubaleka ekhaya ukusuka kukhenketho lokuthetha eMelika kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo. Bendisahleli nje kubabalo lwenceba yenceba yangeCawa xa ndifika kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya iDenver. Ndandinalo ixesha lokuzigcina ngaphambi kokuba ndibhabhe okokugqibela, kwaye ke ndandihambahamba okomzuzwana.

Ndiqaphele isikhululo sokukhanya kwesihlangu ecaleni kodonga. Ndijonge ezantsi kwizihlangu zam eziya ziphela ndicinga, “Hayi, ndiza kuyenza ngokwam xa ndifika ekhaya.” Kodwa xa ndibuyayo ndadlula kubathengisi bezihlangu kwimizuzu eliqela kamva, into ethile ngaphakathi ebendicenga ukuba ndiye kwenza izihlangu zam. Kwaye ke, ndayeka emva kokudlula kubo okwesithathu, ndakhwela esinye sezitulo.

Umfazi wase-Afrika wayeqala nje ukutshintsha, ndicinge njalo, kuba khange ndimbone ngaphambili. Ngelixa aqala ukungqisha ulusu lwam, wajonga phezulu kwaye uncumo lwawela ubuso bakhe.

“Ngumnqamlezo othandekayo entanyeni yakho,” utshilo. “UnguChristian?”

“Ewe, ndingumvangeli wamaKatolika.”

“Owu!” watsho, ubuso bakhe buyakhanya. “Umntakwethu, uFr. U-Eugene, ungumfundisi waseKatolika eNigeria. ”

“Wow, umfundisi wosapho. Kuhle kakhulu, ”ndaphendula. Kodwa ubuso bakhe baba buhlungu njengoko wayeqala ukubalisa imicimbi yakutshanje ngesiNgesi sakhe esaphukileyo.

“AmaSilamsi angene ezilalini atshisa iicawa abulala nabantu. Basongela umntakwethu kunye neparishi yakhe. Kufuneka aphume eNigeria. ”

Emva koko wandijonga, amehlo akhe azele yingxaki. "Ngaba ikhona into onokuyenza? ”

Ndamjonga, iingcinga zam ziyafota. Ndingenza ntoni? Kodwa ke ndaye ndacinga nge-diocese yasekhaya eSaskatchewan, eKhanada apho abefundisi abaninzi babengeniswe eIndiya naseAfrika, kubandakanya neNigeria.

Ndathi, “Kulungile. “Ndinike iinkcukacha zakho zonxibelelwano kwaye ndiza kubamba ubishophu wam kwaye ndibone ukuba angamzisa na uFr. U-Eugene waya eCanada. Andinakuthembisa nantoni na. Kodwa ndiza kuzama. ”

Kwaye ngaloo nto, sahlukana njengobhuti nodade. Kodwa bendisazi ukuba yile nzulu. I-Boko Haram, iqela elikhuliswe ekhaya lamaSilamsi agabadeleyo ahambelana ngqo noMthetho oqinileyo weSharia, babesusa uluntu. Ixesha lalibalulekile. Ndiye ndacima ilaptop yam ndaza ndathumela u-Bishop Don Bolen wase-Saskatoon i-imeyile eneenkcukacha zonke.

Kungekapheli nosuku, waphendula ukuba uza kujonga kuyo. Ngokwam bendikhathazekile, inokuba iya kuba yeyokugqibela bendiya kuva ngayo. Ndaye ke ndancoma uFr. U-Eugene kunye nodadewabo emthandazweni, becela uMama wethu ukuba abajonge.

Emva kweveki, yakhala ifowuni. Yayililizwi lendoda kwelinye icala.

"Mholo. 'IDis Fadder Eugene iyabiza ... ”

Ithathe umzuzwana, emva koko ndaqonda ukuba ngubani. Sazama ukunxibelelana, kodwa ngelishwa, ndandingamva ncam. Ndizamile ngako konke okusemandleni ukudlulisa ukuba ndimazisile ubishophu, kwaye yonke into isezandleni zakhe. Ngequbuliso, unxibelelwano lwethu lwalahla… kwaye ifowuni yathula.

Kwakukho ngo-2011.

Kwiiveki ezimbini ezidlulileyo, ndibhale u-Bishop Don ngokubhekisele kwimicimbi ethile yenkonzo. Ngexesha lokutshintshiselana nge-imeyile, wongeze wathi: 'Ndilibele ukukuxelela ukuba incoko yakho kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya kudala kunye nodade womfundisi waseNigeria. wenza ngenene kukhokelela ku-Fr. U-Eugene ufika kwidayosisi, kwaye ngoku ukhonza eCudworth! UThixo usebenza ngeendlela ezingaqondakaliyo… '

Umhlathi wam wehla-walandelwa kungekudala ziinyembezi. UFr. U-Eugene ukhuselekile! Andizange ndikholelwe.

Ewe, kwiiveki ezimbini ezidlulileyo, unkosikazi wam wabiza ipherishi yakhe ukuba balungiselele ikhonsathi enokubakho apho kunyaka omtsha. Xa uFr. Ekugqibeleni u-Eugene waqonda ukuba uthetha naye my umfazi, wayengakholelwa. Ulahlekelwe lulwazi lwethu kwaye akalikhumbuli igama lam. Kwiveki ephelileyo, wafowunela ikhaya lethu.

“UFr. U-Eugene! Ingaba nguwe? Owu, mbonge uThixo, mdumise uThixo, ukhuselekile. ”

Sincokole imizuzu eliqela, sonwabile kukuva ilizwi lomnye umntu kwakhona. UFr. Ucacisile ukuba ngoku ndithetha nodadewabo, yena Abanye abafundisi bashiya inkonzo yakhe baya kwiMisa yeChrism. Ngexesha leeyure ezilandelayo, iparishi yakhe, umfundisi kunye nazo zonke izinto zakhe zatshiswa emhlabeni. ^[1]cf. nigeriabestforum.com Amarhamente akhe amaninzi abulawa ngamaSilamsi. Wabaleka ke ngoko. 

“Kodwa izinto ziya zisiba mandundu kwakhona,” watsho. "Umchasi-Katolika ulwela ukuba nguMongameli, kwaye iBoko Haram isekhona." Ewe, imifanekiso yakhululwa nje kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo ibonisa iBoko Haram idubula abantu abaninzi belele phantsi phantsi kwigumbi lokulala. ^[2]cf. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/ Isilumkiso: itabloid yelizwe Iingxelo ziyavela kwakhona ukuba abantu abadala baseGwoza, eNigera emantla bayasongwa babulawa.

"Ndilidinga eli xesha lokukhumbula phambi kokuba ndibuyele umva…", Fr. U-Eugene wandixelela.

Konke oku kube sisipho seKrisimesi sakuqala kum. Indifundise kwakhona ukubaluleka kokumamela ilizwi elincinci nelincinci loMoya oyiNgcwele… Ilizwi "elisindisayo" Le yinjongo yeAdvent, emva kwayo yonke loo nto, ukuzilungiselela ukwamkela uYesu ngokutsha ukuze sikwazi ukuzisa ukukhanya nobomi baKhe emhlabeni-kwaye amaxesha amaninzi, ngeyona ndlela isebenzayo. Ewe, ayililo ibali loZalo? Ukuba uYesu uza kusihlangabeza ngqo apho sikhona… kwintlungu, iintlungu, iinyembezi, kunye novuyo lobomi.

Kwaye ngeendlela ezingalindelekanga.
