Papa Joj Zahvalio za svjedočanstvo
Sudanska kršćanka koja je izmaknula smrtnoj kazni kod pape France
- Gospođu Meriam Yahiju Ibrahim Ishag, sudansku krščansku
koja je, osuđena zbog svoje vjere na smrt, uspjela izaći iz Sudana, primio je u četvrtak 24. srpnja papa Franjo, izvijestio je Tiskovni ured Svete Stolice. Prema vatikanskom priopćenju, s Meriam je na audijenciji bio njezin suprug Daniel Wani i dvoje djece,
1,5-godišnji Martin i dvomjesečna Maja
ŽUPNIKOVA koju je majka rodila u zatvoru. Obitelj je
k Papi stigla u pratnji Lapa Pistellija,
PORUKA
zamjenika talijanskoga ministra vanjskih
poslova. Naime, Italija je primila obitelj dok čeka na odlazak
sjedinjene Američke Države.
‘’Susret je trajao malo manje od pola sata te se odvijao u vedrom i srdačnom ozračju. Papa je zahvalio Meriam ii njezinoj obitelji za hrabro svjedočanstvo i za postojanost u vjeri. Meriam je
pak zahvalila za veliku podršku i utjehu koju je zadobila od Papine molitve i od mnogih drugih vjernika i ljudi dobre volje’’, priopćio je o susretu Tiskovni ured Svete Stolice. U priopćenju, nadalje,
stoji da je kao prevoditelj na susretu služio mons. Yohannis Gaid,
posebni Papin tajnik, inače katolički kopt (egipatski kršćanin).
’’Tom je gestom’’, završava priopćenje, ’’Papa želio iskazati svoju
blizinu, pozornost i molitvu i za sve one koji trpe radi svoje vjere
te osobito za kršćane koji podnose progone ili ograničenja svoje
vjerske slobode.’’
Meriam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag kći je etiopske kršćanke i otca
muslimana. Kad je imala pet godina, otac je napustio obitelj pa ju
je je majka odgajala u kršćanskoj pravoslavnoj vjeri i tradiciji.
Nakon vjenčanja 2011. godine 26-godišnja je Ishaq, prema navodima Nadbiskupije Kartum, prešla na katoličanstvo. No odjednom
se pojavio Meriamin brat koji je prijavio sestru sudu, izjavivši da
ju je obitelj izgubila iz vida te da je šokirana činjenicom da je
udana za kršćanina. Sud je ženu proglasio otpadnicom od vjere,
njezin brak s kršćaninom ništavnim, dajući joj mogućnost da prijeđena islam. U protivnom, dosuđeno joj je sto udaraca bičem i
smrtna kazna vješanjem. Budući da se hrabra žena nije željela
odreći vjere do izvršenja smrtne kazne dijelio ju je zakonom određeno vrijeme za skrb o drugom djetetu, koje je rodila u zatvoru.
Nakon što je u drugostupanjskom postupku sud odbacio prvotnu
presudu, obitelj je uz dodatne poteškoće, ipak uspjela izaći iz
zelje. U posljednje vrijeme, nakon odcjepljenja Južnog Sudana,
sve su izraženije prisutna ograničenja vjerske slobode za sudanske kršćane. Nedavno je ministar za vjerska pitanja Shalil Abdullah i službeno izjavio da vlada više ne će izdavati dozvole za
izgradnju novih crkava je nakon odcjepljenja Juga za to više nema potrebe. No brojke, premda službene ne postoje, ipak govore
drugačije. U Sudanu djeluje sedam katoličkih (nad)biskupija
(većina sudanskih kršćana su katolici), a Nadbiskupija Kartum
2012. godine iznijela je podatak da okuplja gotovo milijun vjernika. Vlastima je očito stalo utišati glas Crkve i učiniti je sve nevidljivijom, što se očituje i u izdavanju dokumenata svećenicima.
Zemlju mogu u nju ući. Biskup El Obeidsa miru mons. Macram
Max Gassis nedavno je—tražeći pred UN-om u New Yorku međunarodni pritisak na sudanske vlasti jer takav pritisak može
‘’spasiti živote’’ - izjavio da je na djelu ‘’izvjesni oblik genocida i
etničkoga i etničkoga čišćenja’’. Prema njegovim se riječima nastoji postići asimilacija kršćana, često i uz pomoć psihičkoga i
fizičkoga zlostavljanja, a bilo je čak i slučajeva razapinjanja na
križ, prenijela je biskupove riječi agencija Kathpress.

Surrender to God’s will
to receive grace
(by Bebe Kennedy)
For the last 50 years or so,
there has been greater assertion
of individual freedom and rights.
The women’s movement was initiated, gained much support and
made a profound change in attitudes and lives.
While individuals in virtually all walks of life are
claiming their rights and fighting for them, women
and minorities have experience very deep alterations in patterns of living. Racial discrimination has
been greatly diminished; occupations other than
nursing, teaching and secretarial work are successfully filled by women; and personal abuse is tolerated less.
Attitudinal and legal changes have evoked many
benefits for countless persons. However, there is
one flip side, which is an underlying belief that proclaims: “Nobody is going to tell me what to do.” It
can be difficult to surrender our will to the Lord.
I have heard this expressed in statements such
as, “That is one aspect of Catholic doctrine I do not
accept” and “God gave me intelligence, and I am
going to think for myself regarding Church matters.” Full surrender is still adhered to by those
making the effort, but for many it seems to be only
a memory, if, indeed it was ever initially embraced.
There are countless “cafeteria Catholics” today
who pick and choose what aspects of their faith
they decide to follow. There is no doubt that we
have strayed from submitting our hearts and minds
to the Lord. Pride and self-love can be barriers that
prevent us from loving God as we should and from
fully surrendering to him. What better example do
we have than that of Mary who, after being asked
by the Angel Gabriel to be the mother of God, humbly stated, “Let it be done as you say”? Only concerned about pleasing God, she was not worried
about the possible ramifications her consent would
have on her personally.
Our aim in life is to keep our eyes on the Lord, to
be constantly alert to how he might be directing us.
It is difficult to trust when adversity strikes, to admit that God knows what is best. Trials and tribulations are inevitable and often very hard to bear.
But instead of complaining, it is helpful to perceive our “crosses” as opportunities sent from God.
Surrendering to them moment to moment, hour by
hour and day by day, produces many graces and
leads to happiness.
(to be continued)
