Isandulela

UDanny wayengeyena umbhali owandile ukubhala futhi ngenxa yalokho washiya okuncane kakhulu okubhaleni kwakhe. Ukuba ngumgcini zimali wezincwadi ngomsebenzi, wayengumuntu ohlala ngemuva sonke isikhathi, ezigodlile, umuntu okholwe kakhulu futhi onobuhlobo obukhathazekile obehlala njalo 'ngomunye', imibhalo yakhe yayilinganiselwe kakhulu emsebenzini wakhe wobungcweti kanye nemibhalo yobunobhala neyezomthetho ehlotshaniswa neLITTLE EDEN Society ayenza ngokubambisana nomkakhe uMaria ‘Domitilla’ Hyams née Rota. Imibhalo yakhe embalwa ekhona nokho inikeza ubufakazi obuphathekayo encazelweni yakhe yokuba ‘yindoda enezindinganiso eziphakeme zokuziphatha ngobuqotho, amagama ambalwa, ihlaya elihle… lithobekile, uhlakaniphile nomholi onamandla nokuzimisela ekuthuleni kwakhe .. ’ . Ukufaka umongo kulokhu kugomela, lapho uDanny ecelwa ngu-Rt. IsAm. UMbhishobhi Michael Vincent Paschal Rowland OFM e 2002 ukuhlinzeka ngezifundo zakhe (lokhu kucatshangelwa umklomelo wakhe olandelayo weBenemerenti Papal Award ku 2003), waphendula ngegama elilodwa: ‘UDomitilla’. UMbhishobhi nokho, masinyane ngokulinganayo emaki, waphendula ngokushesha: 'Imfushane kakhulu'!

Isisho sokuthi 'ngemuva kwayo yonke indoda ephumelelayo ngowesifazane' singaba endabeni kaDanny noDomitilla, futhi ngaphandle KWAKUTHI ukungabaza kungaguqulwa kalula. UDanny wayengumlingani othule kodwa lokho kusekela okubaluleke kakhulu futhi okungaguquguquki okwenza uDomitilla akwazi ukubona umbono wakhe, ekwamukeleni izwi lakhe lokuqala langaphakathi ebiza ukuthi abuyele eNingizimu Afrika; emnikelweni wokuqala ka-R10 awufakile ekuqaleni kwe-LITTLE EDEN; emihlanganweni yokuqala yokuhlola; ukusungula nokusungula uhlaka lwezomthetho lwe-NGO; ekusondeleni kokuqala nokumema abazali bezingane zasenkulisa zokuqala; ukuqashwa kwabasebenzi nokuthola indawo yokuhlala efanelekile; ekwakhiweni kwezakhiwo nezinhlaka ze-LITTLE EDEN eminyakeni edlule; ezincwadini ezingenakubalwa ‘Ngiyabonga’ eziya kubaxhasi, abasizi, amavolontiya kanye nezifiso ezinhle; ukuqondisa nokweluleka iNhlangano kuze kube sekugcineni kwakhe. ‘UDaniele’, njengoba uDomitilla ayembiza njalo, kwakuyileso sisekelo esiqinile, leyo nsika yokusekelwa uDomitilla ayeyifuna futhi ehlala ephendukela kuzo zombili ngezikhathi ezinhle nangezikhathi zokulingwa nezinsizi ngenxa yesazi sakhe nezeluleko zakhe ezihlakaniphile.

Ngaphandle kokusekelwa impilo yonke, iseluleko, ukukhuthazwa nokubamba iqhaza uDanny akunika iDomitilla, kuyangabazeka okukhulu ukuthi i-LITTLE EDEN izoba khona namuhla. Ngokubheka emuva uDanny waye, ngaphandle kokungabaza, IZANDLA ezibucayi kakhulu, ihlala itholakala futhi ilungele ukusiza lapho uDomitilla esho ephindelela: “… Siyizandla zikaJesu…” Ngamazwi kaDomitilla uqobo:

“… Ngaphandle kosizo lomyeni wami nezingane zami akukho engingakufeza…”

Qaphela: Mayelana nezilinganiso, umbhalo ku [ ] kubakaki kufakiwe ukucacelwa komfundi.

Umshado wowesifazane osemncane, U-Agnes Mary Joseph Le Breton, kumuntu osekhulile, ULouis George Hyams (17 umehluko weminyaka), ayiphumelelanga futhi ngemuva kwamadodana amabili, ULouis noDanny, abashadikazi bahlukanisa. Eminyakeni ethile kamuva bazama ukubuyisana baphinde bashada okwaholela enganeni yesithathu, UDina Hyams. Kodwa-ke lokhu kubuyisana nakho akuphumelelanga base bedlula ngesehlukaniso sesibili. U-Agnes Mary Joseph Le Breton wabe eseshada noDuket William Treurnich (b. 6 Julayi 1892; d. 19 Novemba 1956) ngomhlaka 5 Meyi 1936 yize nge-akhawunti ejwayelekile kaDanny emndenini wakhe, Umama wakhe wahlalisana kahle nomyeni wakhe wangaphambili, imvamisa babelana ngezikhathi zokudlala amakhadi omphakathi futhi bengakaze babone noma yisiphi isiphithiphithi. Ezinsukwini zokugcina zikaLouis George Hyams (ongazange aphinde ashade), U-Agnes Mary Joseph Le Breton nguyena owamncelisa kwaze kwaba sekugcineni. Engxoxweni ebhaliwe nendodakazi encane kaDanny ku 2012, wabhala:

“… UDanny uthe… wayengaqondi ukuthi kungani abazali bakhe behlukana, bahlukane bese beshada futhi, wabe esehlukanisa… Uyakhumbula ukuthi uMama wakhe wazama ukugcina ubungani noYise kanye nesinyathelo- ubaba, ‘Malume uBill’ (yilokho abakubiza ngomyeni wesibili kaMama wabo) senzela izingane ... ”

Inkhulumomphendvulwano iyaqhubeka:

Lesi sikole, yayiholwa iFlemish Brothers of Charity, (kanye neminyaka yokuqala yokwakheka ezindlini zezindela zaseDominican) inikeze uDanny noLouis isisekelo esiqinile ekukhuleni ngokomoya, ubuhlakani kwezemfundo nobungcweti kwezemidlalo kuze kube yilapho uDanny enza umatikuletsheni ngoDisemba 1937 eneminyaka engu 16 iminyaka nangokuzinikela impilo yakhe yonke nokuzinikela okholweni lwakhe lobuKatolika. Ingxoxo ebhaliwe iyaqhubeka ngokuqhubekayo:

"Umngani, UThomas Edmund Kinna uzame ukumngenisa enkampanini yezimayini ukuze asebenze kodwa njengoba engatholanga u-A wesayensi (wathola u-B yena wathola u-A weMathematics) inkampani ayizange imamukele uDanny. UMnu Kinna ube esefonela uMama kaDanny, U-Agnes Treurnich, wamtshela ukuthi wayemhlelele inhlolokhono noHugh Hart owayengumlingani kaWakeley-Smith & Hart, inkampani yokucwaninga amabhuku. UDanny waya kwinhlolokhono waqashwa khona lapho waqala umsebenzi ngakusasa, ngoMashi 1938. UDanny uthe lokhu kukhombisa ngokusobala ukungenelela kweNkosi yethu njengoba, bekufanele ngabe uthathe umsebenzi endlini yezimayini, ngabe uhole enye impilo!
NgoMashi 1938 UDanny waqala ukufundela iDegree yakhe yokuba yiChartered Accountant eNyuvesi yaseWitwatersrand (IWits)…Ngakho-ke wayezofunda ekuseni ngaphambi komsebenzi, hamba uyosebenza eMagor House kuFox Street, IGoli emini, futhi ngifunde futhi kusihlwa ngemuva komsebenzi.

Ujoyine i-Catholic Men’s Society (I-C.M.S.) weBraamfontein Parish (lapho ayesonta khona 1938) futhi eneminyaka engu 17 iminyaka yaba nguMgcinimafa. Wamangala kakhulu, ngiphumile nje esikoleni, ukuhlala etafuleni nalawa amadala, amadoda abalulekile, UMnu Kinna, ummeli, Ubulungiswa……umphathi weStandard Bank… bexoxa ngama-akhawunti nangezihloko ezahlukahlukene futhi bebembuza, Usuku lo, mayelana nezici zezimali zeC.M.S. nokubuza umbono wakhe ezindabeni!…”

Esikhathini esincane noDanny ethathe izinyathelo zakhe zokuqala ukuya ezweni labantu abadala amafu amnyama weWWII eseduze ayekhuphuka ngokushaqisayo futhi ngokushesha. Ukucaphuna endabeni kaDanny, ‘Izithandani zokulala’:

“Amafu empi ayebuthana ngasekupheleni kwawo-1930 kodwa intsha yaseNingizimu Afrika futhi, mhlawumbe, abadala abaningi futhi, babengazi ikakhulukazi ngemicimbi yomhlaba futhi bengazizwa besongelwa…

… Lokhu kungiletha ngoMsombuluko ebusuku, 4 Septhemba 1939, nini, Emkhankasweni Wethu Wamasosha Osebenzayo wamasonto onke (ACF) umbukiso, siyalelwe ukuthi silethe amabhayoni ethu namabhawodi ezibhamu ukuqinisekisa ukuthi asibambiqhaza emibhikishweni emelene namaJalimane edala izinxushunxushu eGoli.. Ngalobo busuku, impikiswano enkulu ibiqhubeka ephalamende laseNingizimu Afrika lapho uGeneral Smuts agcine ethole khona ivoti lokuhambisana neBrithani… ”

UDanny Hyams (kwesobunxele), Umama u-Agnes Le Breton, udadewethu uDina nomfowethu uLouis ngaphambi nje kweWWII

Ngomfutho wentshiseko yokushisekela izwe, umfowethu omdala, Louis, iqhawe lobufana likaDanny, kungekudala ube phakathi kwezinsizwa ezisakazela ukujoyina ulayini wokuqasha. UDanny ubelangazelela ukujoyina kepha usanda kuphenduka 18 kwakudinga ukukholwa okuphikelelayo ngaphambi kokuba ubaba wakhe amvumele ukuba enze isifungo sokuzithandela ukusebenza "noma kuphi e-Afrika" neRand Light Infantry (I-RLI). UDanny uyaqhubeka:

“Ngemuva kwezinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye ezibonakala zingapheli, Ama-oda wokugqugquzela afika 8 NgoJuni 1940, isonto ngemuva kokuzalwa kwami ​​kweshumi nesishiyagalolunye. Kudingeke kudlule unyaka wonke ngaphambi kokuthi i-2nd Division iphume ngomkhumbi ethekwini laseThekwini…Kuvuliwe 21 NgoJuni 1941 i-2nd Division yehle ePort Tewfick [Tewfik noma iTaufiq], USuez ... Thina 31 Disemba 1941 i-RLI ibambe iqhaza ekuvinjezelweni kweBrigade eBardia. Ngenkathi umphathi wethu wenkampani i- “A” ekhipha iziyalo zempi kubaphathi abathathu bezinhlaka zamapulangwe futhi abela izikhundla, nathi isigaba sama-NCO sasikhona. Isigaba sami besiyingxenye yeNo. 5 iqembu. Ngesikhathi sokuhlela i-No. 5 futhi Cha. 4 iziphathimandla zashintsha izikhundla zazo ezaziqokiwe ekuqaleni. Umphumela ngakusasa: Cha. 4 iqembu lahlupheka 100% izisulu; Cha. 5 iqembu: 1 ngilimele. ”

Lokhu bekungokokuqala kwalokhu uDanny kamuva azokuchaza njengalokho:

“… Intambo encane yomncane, izinqumo / izehlakalo ezibonakala zingenamsebenzi zilukelwa entweni embi yempilo yami phakathi 1939/1945. Ziye zanganakwa ngaleso sikhathi kodwa, ngokuzindla, zenza umuntu azibuze: bekungukungenelela Kwaphezulu?…”

Le 'ntambo ezacile' ye-Divine Intervention iyaqhubeka nokubonakala endabeni kaDanny:

… Ngokuqhubeka kwe-Badoglio Armistice 19 Septhemba 1943… ngesikhathi sesiyaluyalu, si… senzelwe amagquma. Sinqwabelene ebangeni lokudubula ePonte San Pietro, amanye ama-10km ngaphandle kweBergamo… Ubani owayengabona kusengaphambili ukuthi "lelo sonto noma amabili" ahudulela phambili 20 izinyanga ezinde kuze kube yi-Armistice kaMeyi 1945?…… Futhi yindlela esikhubeke ngayo sangena e-Albenza, idolobhana elisentabeni elibheke eBergamo buqamama namathafa aseLombardia ngale. Kwase kuhlwile vele. Abantu abalungile basamukela ngebhodwe elisheshayo le-minestra [isobho] futhi polenta [iphalishi le-mielie eliphuzi]…”

Noma uDanny nomngani wakhe u-Owen Fox ngaleso sikhathi babephila impilo yokucasha, ukulala ezindaweni ezahlukahlukene ukuze kugweme ukutholwa yiziphathimandla ze-fascist, UDanny wayeya njalo eMiseni Elingcwele esontweni lase-Albenza iSan Rocco. Ebuyela kwi-akhawunti yakhe:

“… Ngesikhathi Seziteshi Zesiphambano, Isonto Lesifiso 1944, esiteshini sesithathu, Ngezwa umpristi ehleba, njengoba ema ngemuva nje kwami, ‘Ngiyacela ungabe usaya eMiseni noma ezinkonzweni. Ubeka isonto nabantu engcupheni. ’KwakunomFascist oyedwa owaziwayo ebandleni futhi kumele ngabe wasongela uDon Gasparini omuhle…”

UDanny ube eselandisa ukuthi wazana kanjani nomatriarch Elvira Rota kanye nenkosikazi yakhe yesikhathi esizayo uMaria ‘Domitilla’ Rota . Okuthakazelisa lapha futhi ngokubhekisele kuDanny's ‘… thread of minor, okubonakala kungabalulekile… izehlakalo… ’okulandelayo kodwa kungenye yalezi zehlakalo njengoba zihlobene noDanny’s‘ A pair of pyjamas ’:

“… Ngesinye isikhathi, ngenkathi sidlala ibhuloho emasimini nabangane bethu baseNingizimu Afrika, i-alamu yakhala futhi sahlakazeka ngokomthetho, isahluko esisodwa sibuyela ekubhaceni kwakhe ukumboza izinto zakhe. Ngangingemuva kwesihlahla esiphansi lapho amadoda ayisithupha, kufaka phakathi umngani wethu, nabanye abafana base-Italy nababili abafake amajazi emvula abanezibhamu, ngashesha. Lokhu akuzange kungimangaze njengoba izinsizwa zazivame ukuhamba nezikhali zazo lapho zicasha. Ngisukume ngazama ukufona njengoba ngifuna ukubajoyina. Kodwa ngangingenalo izwi! La madoda amabili ahlomile kwakungu-carabinieri bemasha abanye abane beya ejele…”

Ukulandela isiphakamiso se-Armistice noDanny sokushada noDomitilla, emuva kwalokho wabuyela eNingizimu Afrika lapho aqeda khona izifundo zakhe ngaphambi kokubuyela e-Albenza eyoshada noDomitilla. Kulo mongo kufanelekile ukukhumbula ukungena kwakhe:

“… Manje, ngokubheka emuva, Ngiyabona ukuthi ngangimiselwe ukuba ngumngane wakhe, umvikeli wakhe emenza akwazi ukuveza lo mbono wezithunywa zevangeli njengoba kubhalwe kudayari yakhe ku 25 UFebhuwari 1971: ‘I-Edene encane iyakhula futhi ibusisiwe njengokufiswa uMadonna omuhle kakhulu owavela kimi ngoJuni 1967, ukugcwalisa inhliziyo yami ngenjabulo nethemba, kodwa futhi nokukhathazeka nezinkathazo. Ngizinikele kuJesu wami nakuMama waKhe ongcwele kakhulu ’…”

Kube wukubukwa komhlaba wonke kwabo bonke ababazi lo mbhangqwana ukuthi uDanny wafeza ngqo leyo ndima okungukuthi. komvikeli, amandla, owenze ngemuva, lowo owanikeza isikhuthazo nokwesekwa futhi owazibonakalisa enguMUNTU ophakathi nodingekayo wokuncoma emsebenzini owaqalwa nguDomitilla. UDomitilla wayenemoto engapheli, umbono we-ethereal kanye nomoya wezithunywa zevangeli wokuthuthukisa isintu okungavinjelwe ukucabanga ngezinto ezibonakalayo noma komhlaba. Ngakolunye uhlangothi uDanny wagcwalisa lo moya wamahhala ngesisekelo esiqinile ekuthobekeni kwamaqiniso ansuku zonke, oqaphile, indlela elandelanayo kanye nomnumzane weqiniso ngazo zonke izindlela, ukuvuma nokunaka okufanele kuzo zonke izimo. Nguye owayekhathazeka ngobunzima obujwayelekile kodwa bangempela obubhekene neLITTLE EDEN Society esencane - ehamba ezinkingeni zezenhlalo nezepolitiki kanye namaqiniso ezomnotho osuku. Kepha esiqongweni sakho konke lokhu, wayengumngane odingekayo futhi othembekile lowo, umsekeli omkhulu nomnakekeli kaDomitilla wakhe amthandayo - owaqonda umdlandla wakhe futhi wamkhuthaza kusukela ekuqaleni ukuba aqhubeke nokufeza umsebenzi wakhe emhlabeni.

Ithathwe kuMaria ‘Domitilla’ Hyams née Rota's “Umshado” ingxenye:

UDomitilla wabhapathizwa esontweni laseSan Rocco, Albenza. Umndeni wakhe, njengeminye imindeni yasekhaya, wayenobudlelwano obusondelene nesonto le-parishi namalungu azinikezele impilo yenkolo. Njengentombazane encane, UDomitilla wayenamaphupho nezifiso zakhe zokuba isithunywa sevangeli e-Afrika. Uhlobene nababhali uLaura di Teodoro noGiuseppe Zois:

“…Bengithanda ukuchitha isikhathi sami sokuncebeleka ngixhumana nemvelo, ngikuqoqa ama-chestnuts nama-cherries, noma ukunakekela izinkomo emadlelweni aluhlaza lapho ku shaya omoya opholile, noma ngigibele ibhayisekili lami ngiya ezifundweni zami zomculo eBergamo. ngicula njalo ngithandaza, ngiphupha ngelinye ilanga ngizoba isithunywa sevangeli e-Afrika. ”

ISan Rocco nayo bekuyisonto lapho 8 Septhemba 1947, UDomitilla nomyeni wakhe wesikhathi esizayo uDanny babezoshadiswa umpristi wesonto uDon Francesco Gasparini phambi komzala wakhe, UDon Enrico Rota. Lo mshado wabe usubhalwa kuState Civil Record on 20 Septhemba 1947.

Ukuhlangana okokuqala kukaDomilla nomyeni wakhe wesikhathi esizayo uDanny ngesikhathi sokugcina sempi yomhlaba yesibili kuchazwa kancono kakhulu ngamazwi kaDanny:

“… Siqale ukuzwa ngomndeni ka-Elvira Rota lapho indodakazi, U-Ester, wahlela uhambo oluphephile lwePOWs oluya eDomodossola emnceleni waseSwitzerland…. Sasigcinw kahle kakhulu ebusika bokuqala , kungakhathalekile ukuthi singadli kathathu ngosuku, futhi singagezingamanzi ashisayo njalo ebusuku! Kamuva ngaba namathumba amabi akhula ngaphansi kwesilevu sami futhi uPalmina waphikelela ukuthi ngithole usizo ku-la signora Elvira wase Cà di Precc….

…Ephendula singqongqoza emnyango, savunyelwa intokazi eyayimamatheka, indodakazi, Domitilla. Akazange athuswe ubuso bomuntu wakubo owayesongelwe ngengubo emnyama. Umndeni wakwaRota babe ngabantu abanomusa kakhulu, iziboshwa ezilumelayo, ngokuqondene nokwadlula 10 izinyanga, UDomitilla wayekade ethatha imbiza ye-minestra [isobho lemifino elinempilo] nsuku zonke eqenjini lamaSerbs elicashe ehlathini. Lokhu ukwenzile, kungakhathalekile ukuthi noma ngubani othola ukuthi uneziboshwa angabulawa…USigora Elvira wasinikeza indawo yokukhosela esakhiweni esacishe sabhidlika okwase kuphele iminyaka eminingi singenalutho. Lokhu kusisondeze nakwabanye abantu baseNingizimu Afrika abathathu futhi manje sebehambela amantombazane eRota kaningi, kakhulu kangangokuba samukelwa ngokushesha njengengxenye yomndeni kwathi abakwaSignora bashintsha baba yiMamma.

Ekupheleni kukaMashi (1945) imigqa yempi yayiseningizimu yomfula uPo ngenkathi uDomitilla ebuza nje ngeseluleko sethu ngesicelo somshado asitholile kuMirko, omunye wamaSerbs. Lapha bekuyintombazane yasemazweni eneminyaka ewu-26 ubudala icela abancane ababili engabangabazi ukuthi babeke umbono wabo odabeni olubucayi kangaka. Uma kungekho owesilisa emndenini, Ngabe wasondela kithi njengobaba, mfowethu, umngani, noma umeluleki, noma, Izulu linqabe! umncintiswano wokuncintisana? Ukwelulekwa bekungeyona ingxenye yokuqeqeshwa kwethu kwezempi futhi siphakamise ukuthi afune izeluleko kuMamma, noma u-Ester, noma uPia, noma kubo bobathathu. Ukuya “ekhaya” ngalobo busuku besingakhulumi ngokukhethekile, lapho ngokuzumayo u-Owen, “Ngifuna ukushada noDomilla” ngaphendula ngokushesha, "Ngicabanga nami." Ukushaya kombani okufana nokwenzeke ku-St Paul. kade sasihlanya? Yini emhlabeni esiyithole ikhanga kule ntokazi ezithobile ka ngaka, ngokuba msulwa kwakhe okulula nokuthembeka nesibindi kuMass yakhe yansuku zonke? Mhlawumbe, njengami, Ngokuphazima kweso u-Owen wabona ukuthi nali iparele elibaluleke kakhulu.
Ngosuku olulandelayo sanikeza uDomitilla izizathu eziyikhulu zokuthi kungani kufanele angasamukeli isicelo sikaMirko…

U-Owen wayenze la mazwi aqala kabuhlungu ngalobo busuku, njengoba sasiboshelwe ekhaya, kodwa manje wayesenamahloni okuqhubeka. Ngibe sengithatha uDomitilla eceleni ngamtshela iqiniso: "U-Owen ufuna ukukushada." Wathuka, bengayilindelanga into elinjalo. Ngemuva kwemizuzu ecishe ibe yishumi yokukhombisa ukungafaneleki kwakhe kanye nezinye izaba eziyikhulu, Ngithe "Nami ngokunjalo." uDomitilla ubengakwazi ukukhuluma futhi waphuthuma waya egumbini lakhe lokulala lapho ehlale khona ekhathazekile isonto lonke. Lapho u-Ester ekugcineni eletha impendulo kadadewabo, Ngabona ukuthi manje ngithembisene umshado. Kwakumangaza ! ukunganaki okunjalo! Akukho ukuqina okukhulu kothando noma kothando - ukunconywa kuphela, cishe imizwa wesibopho sokumazisa lo muntu oligugu kakhulu, othe eseyintombazane esencane wazwakalisa isifiso sakhe sokuba yisithunywa sevangeli e-Afrika .. "

Ngokupheliswa kwempi yobudlova eNyakatho ye-Italy ekuqaleni kukaMeyi 1945, UDomitilla noDanny bavakashele indawo yokuhlala yeNkosazana yethu ebusisiwe yaseCornabusa lapho uDomitilla enikeze khona uDanny indandatho yesikhumbuzo kaMadonna njengesibambiso sokubheja kwabo. Kuvuliwe 20 Meyi 1945, UDanny ukhumbule ukuthi uthole ipeni lakhe lokuqala esihlathini njengoba evalelisa eDomitilla, Umndeni wakwaRota kanye nabantu abaningi bendawo abasezingeni elifanele ababesize ama-POW. Amagama akhe okusuka athi 'mamma' Elvira athi:

"Ngokwentando kankulunkulu, Ngizobuyela emuva eminyakeni emibili ngizofuna iDomitilla!”

UDomitilla wakhumbula:

“Ukuze sishade kwakumele silinde iminyaka emibili. Isikhathi esithathe ukuqeda izifundo saphazamiseka eminyakeni emihlanu edlule ngenxa yempi. Bambalwa abebengalinda ukuthi indaba yethu iqhubeke. Emndenini wakithi kubangani bami bekunzima ukucabanga ukuthi indoda ibizolinda umakoti wayo iminyaka emibili 10 amakhilomitha ayinkulungwane kodwa uDaniel wasigcina isithembiso sakhe futhi wangena 1947 iphupho lethu lagcwaliseka. ”

Ngokuqondene nosuku lomshado, UDomitilla ubhale okulandelayo:

“Ukuvuka kokusa ngo-8 Septhemba 1947 Ukuvuka kokusa! Kukhanya ngoSepthemba! Ukukhanya kokukhanya, izinkondlo kanye nomlingo. Ngagcwala kanjani injabulo yempilo! Usuku olungenakulibaleka lokugcotshwa kothando lomuntu oluphakanyiselwe isithunzi sesakramente. Kancane nje, emva kwalokhu kusa okungalibaleki, Ngizoba ngumlingani wensizwa yami ethandekayo impilo yami yonke. Kusukela ngomzuzu wokuthatha isinqumo lapho isikhonzi sikaNkulunkulu sijoyina eNgcwele imishado yomoya, imicabango, izifiso, izinkathazo nobuhlungu benye kuzoba bobunye. Yiziphi izikhathi zokwethuka!…
…Sobabili salungiselela lolu suku olungcwele ngomfutho ongokomoya wokuzidela okuncane. UDaniel wangibonga kakhulu ngosuku lwangaphambili ngokuziphatha kwami ​​kuye futhi ngambonga ngobuqotho nangokumsulwa kwakhe, kuhle kakhulu futhi kuhle!…
… Futhi ngazilungiselela ngenkambo yokuzivocavoca okungokomoya okungcwele kwamantombazane athatha inxaxheba eVilla Santa Maria kusuka 28 Ngo-Agasti kuya ekuqaleni kukaSepthemba 1947. Sobabili futhi safunda i-novena ye-Mass yaba ncwele kanye neNhlanganiso eNgcwele…

…Abashadikazi abaqhotho! Ngokokuqala nqa saguqa ndawonye ukuthola isinkwa samandla; ukuPhila okunika impilo, UJesu kwi Eucharist eliNgcwele! Sishiya ithempeli likaNkulunkulu ngemicabango encwele nezinhliziyo ezikhazimulayo ukuthi leli ithemba lentokozo lizohlala impilo yonke!…”

Ekubuyeni kwakhe ngemuva kwempi futhi esefundele ukuba ngumgcini wamabhuku ezimali oqashiwe uDanny wajoyina iGeneral Mining on 1 NgoJuni 1948 futhi wathuthuka ngokushesha emsebenzini wakhe wobuchwepheshe waze wafika ezingeni lapho ayesethubeni lesikhundla sokuba uNobhala weNkampani. Njengomphumela wepolitiki yangaleso sikhathi mayelana nobuzwe obukhulayo obuye babonakala enkampanini, UDanny wazithola ebika kumuntu omncane. UDanny njengomuntu owayenemigomo futhi elungile wayengumuntu owayezamela ubulungiswa ngaso sonke isikhathi, ukulingana nokungakhethi. Ngakho-ke ubheke lokhu kuthuthukiswa njengokuzibandakanya kwezepolitiki, engenabulungisa futhi ngokusobala ayilungile. Ngakho-ke wesula kule nkampani ekupheleni kuka-Agasti 1966 ngemuva 18 iminyaka ezinikele futhi eqotho. Lo muzwa wobulungiswa nokuphathwa ngokufanele kwabantu kwakungokunye okwakugcwalisa ingaphakathi lakhe osukwini lwakhe lokufa.

Ngemuva kokuzibandakanya kwesikhashana neRaptim Humanitarian Travel, wajoyina inkampani eyenza imithi wasukuma waba ngumphathi wezezimali. Kwabe sekuhlinzekwa ubuqondisi kodwa ngombandela wokuthi abe yiScientologist. Ngalobo busuku lapho ebuyela ekhaya, wamemezela kuDomitilla ukuthi akanamsebenzi. KuDanny, kwakungekho okubaluleke ukwedlula ukusindiswa komphefumulo wakhe futhi ngaphandle kokungabaza noma ukuxoxisana nabaphathi bakhe lesi sipho saphathwa ngokwedelelwa futhi wasula lapho.

Lokhu kuqiniseka okuqinile kokholo kwakungu, njengoba kuphawuliwe ekuqaleni, egxile kakhulu eminyakeni yakhe yokuqala esikoleni esigodlweni sezindela, kwabe sekuthi iKolishi Lembali Encane futhi kamuva kwandiswa ubuhlobo bakhe nodadewabo kanina, ULucy Duffield (owazalwa eLe Breton), U-Elvira Rota nomkakhe, I-Domitilla - bonke abesifazane abathanda kakhulu inkolo.

Ngemuva kokuhamba kwakhe uDanny wabe esejoyina inkampani yaseSwitzerland iRoche Pharmaceutical esebenza njengeRoche Products ephuma e-Isando, EGoli. Ukuqala njenge-accountant, lapha wathola uhlelo lokuqashwa olulungile ngokuhambisana nohlelo lwenani lakhe futhi wakujabulela ukuhlala lapho kolandelayo 20 iminyaka futhi lapho ethathe khona umhlalaphansi njengoMqondisi Wezezimali ekupheleni kuka 1986. Ukuhlala kwakhe eRoche kodwa bekungaqhubeki futhi kungaphazamiseki - lokhu kwenziwa yisinqumo sakhe esibonwe njengoba kuchaziwe ngezansi:

phakathi kuka 1975 I-LITTLE EDEN ibisenkathini yokuhlolwa okunzima nengcindezi. ILITTLE EDEN ibinikezwe izaziso zomthetho ngomakhelwane ukuthi iphume ezindlini zayo ebezihlala e-Edenvale; ukwakhiwa kosuku lwamanje i-LITTLE EDEN Home bekuqhubeka kodwa kuswele imali enkulu futhi kuhambe isikhathi; ikomidi eliphezulu le-LITTLE EDEN beliphikisana ngokuthi kufanele livale i-LITTLE EDEN noma cha; ukufuduswa kwabahlali abancane be-LITTLE EDEN besuka kwelinye noma elinye ikhaya lesikhashana beya kwelinye bekuyisenzo esiqhubekayo. Lezi ngezinye zezinselelo ezazigcina uDanny, njengoSihlalo weLITTLE EDEN Society Executive Committee nanjengomdlali we-pragmatist ekhaya lakwaHyams, uvuke ebusuku. Ngaphezu kwalokhu, engxenyeni yokugcina ye 1974, ikomidi eliphezulu lalithumele umbiko wokubheka ukusebenza kwesikhathi eside kwe-LITTLE EDEN futhi lo mbiko wakhombisa ukungabi nathemba kakhulu ngamathemba esikhathi esizayo. Ukuxazulula le nkinga, UDanny uthathe isinqumo sokushiya isikhundla sakhe sokuqashwa njengeMphathi Wezezimali weRoche Pharmaceuticals (kulimale isikhundla sakhe sezezimali kamuva njengoba impesheni yakhe yaba nomthelela omubi) ukusiza iNhlangano ngalesi sikhathi esiyinselele. Ezinyangeni eziyisishiyagalolunye kamuva, lapho isimo seLITTLE EDEN sase sizinzile, UDanny uphinde wajoyina iRoche Products.

Lokhu kuzidela, isenzo esikhulu sokushiya isikhundla esihle ngokunethezeka abanye bangasithatha njengesingenankinga futhi esingacatshangwa kahle. Akunjalo kuDanny noDomitilla. Ngenkathi isimo sabo sasekhaya sasinciphile njengoba zonke izingane zabo zase zikhulile ngaleso sikhathi, kwakubaluleke kakhulu kuDanny ukuqinisekisa ukuthi umbono kaDomitilla wokusiza labo abadinga usizo ungabuni futhi ufe. Bona, njengezithandani, babezimisele impela ukuzidela (wanikela) impilo yokunethezeka nokukhululeka ukuze unciphise ukuhlupheka komakhelwane womuntu. Kukho konke ukuphila kwabo babehlala endlini enesizotha ebangeni elihamba ngezinyawo iSt Thèrèse Catholic Church kanye ne-Holy Rosary Convent School lapho zonke izingane zabo zazifunda khona.

Esinye isigameko sikhombisa lo moya nokuzimisela kokuzidela ngokusebenzela abanye. Ngasekupheleni kwe 2000 I-LITTLE EDEN yaphinde yabhekana nenkinga enkulu yezezimali futhi yacela amabhange endawo ukuthola indawo yokusebenza ngokweqile ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezindleko zokusebenza futhi ikakhulukazi imiholo yanyanga zonke yabasebenzi. Ngaphandle kwezinqolobane noma isibambiso sesicelo esinjalo, lokhu kwaliwa. Ukuze kungafakwa engozini ukusimama kwe-LITTLE EDEN - okwathi ngaleso sikhathi kwaba yikhaya laphakade 300 izakhamuzi, Usuku lo, nangokwesekwa nguDomitilla, banqume ukudlulisa amatayitela ezimpahla zabo ezibalulekile, ikhaya labo, ebhange njengesibambiso. Ngemithandazo eminingi kodwa, I-Divine Providence yaphinde yabonakala ngenkathi umsekeli waphesheya kwezilwandle, ukuzwa okwenzekile, ukhokhele ibhange imali ephelele yemalimboleko.

Ngesikhathi seminyaka yokuqala kaDomitilla kanye nemizamo yakhe ekusunguleni nasekondleni i-LITTLE EDEN Society, UDanny wayejoyine uMkhandlu Kazwelonke Kazwelonke Wezempilo Yengqondo ukuze athuthukise izintshisekelo zeLITTLE EDEN Society. Esihlokweni sangomhla 29 Okthoba 1980, Iphephandaba iThe Star libike ukuthi uDanny Hyams uvotelwe ngazwilinye njengoMengameli weSouth African National Council for Mental Health ngemuva kokusebenza 11 iminyaka njengoMgcinimafa. Ubengokokuqala oqokiwe ongesiye owezokwelapha oqokelwe kuleso sikhundla. Ihlala ingaziphakamisi futhi ilungele ukubolekisa abanye, uqaphele ukuthi ukuzihlanganisa kwakhe neLITTLE EDEN kanye noMkhandlu Kazwelonke kwaba: ‘Ngoba ngingumyeni kaDomitilla’ futhi ngithathe ukhetho lwakhe njengo: ‘Ngokuyinhloko uphaphe ekhanda lika-LITTLE EDEN’.

Njengokulandelana, Umfowabo kaDanny, ULouis Goodman Hyams uzwe ukuthi lokhu kuthuthukiswa kugunyaza i-athikili enesithombe esontweni lamaKatolika langesonto lonke, iSiphambano SaseNingizimu – okuvele ngokufanele. UPrefect Apostolic waseRustenburg ngaleso sikhathi, uMfundisi Ofanele uPaxton J Hallett C.Ss.R. (uPax Hallett ofanayo uDanny ayehlangane naye 1942 eMiseni langeSonto enkambini yaseLucca POW e-Italy) wasibona isithombe sikaDanny futhi wamthinta. UMbhishobhi Hallett, njengelungu leKhomishini Yezezimali yeSouth African Catholic Bishops ’Conference (SACBC) wabe esemcela ukuba ajoyine umnyango wezama-akhawunti eKhanya House lapho ethatha umhlalaphansi. Lapho uDanny wakhonza 16 iminyaka kuze kube yilapho ethatha umhlalaphansi ‘wesibili’ e 2002 eminyakeni yobudala 81 iminyaka.

Ngokubonga nokuhlonishwa kwenkonzo yakhe yokwethembeka kwi-SACBC, ngomhlaka 8 Meyi 2003, UDanny wamukelwa ngomklomelo wePapa Benemerenti eMiseni eliNgcwele elihlanganisiwe noMhlonishwa uWilfrid Cardinal Napier O. F. UM. Ngokubhikisha kuKhadinali ukuthi yena (Usuku lo) ibingafanele ukuthola umklomelo njengoba: ‘… Sikhokhelwe ngalokho esikwenzile njengabasebenzi beNgqungquthela… uKhadinali uphendule: ‘… Hhayi ngokwenziwe kepha ukuthi ukwenze kanjani…’. Lawa magama abonisa kahle lawo kaSanta Teresa waseCalcutta ngenkathi ephawula: ‘Akukhona ukuthi senza malini, kodwa lungakanani uthando esilufaka ekwenzeni; akukhona ukuthi sinikela ngamalini, kodwa lungakanani uthando esilufaka ekupheni. ’

Indaba yomsebenzi wempilo kaDanny noDomitilla, ukusungulwa nokusungulwa kweLITTLE EDEN Society, kwabhalwa futhi kwashicilelwa iminyaka engu-50 yeNhlangano ngo 2017 . Okulandelayo ngezansi izingcaphuno eziphathelene nokuqaliswa nokuthuthukiswa kwe-LITTLE EDEN njengoba zihlobene ngqo noDaniel George Hyams.

UDanny wayenjalo, njengoba kukhonjisiwe ekuqaleni, opharetha wangemuva oqinisekise ngokunakekela okukhulu imininingwane ukuthi zonke izinqubo zilandelwa kahle kusuka kolimi, ukuhambisana nomthetho kanye nezimali. Wayenguye ezinsukwini zokuqala zika-LITTLE EDEN owazibophezela ukuphatha izindaba zeNhlangano (ikakhulukazi etafuleni lakhe ekhaya), ngabe lokhu bekubhala imizuzu yokuqala yomhlangano wokuqala wokuhlola nabantu abacabanga njengaye ekunikeleni ‘Usizo lwezingane ezikhubazekile’; bafuna ukusekelwa kokuziphatha kanye namavolontiya ukwakha amakomidi okuqala; usihlalo wekomidi eliholayo kanye namakomidi amakhulu alandelayo; kubhalwa umthethosisekelo we-LITTLE EDEN; ukubhalisa iNhlangano ngenombolo yezenhlalakahle esemthethweni ngaleyo ndlela kuvunyelwe ukuqoqwa kwezimali zomphakathi; ukuhlela amaqoqo emigwaqo kanye namavolontiya; ukuhlela imicimbi yokuqoqa imali; ukuhlela izindawo ezifanelekile nokuphuma kwabahlali abancane be-EDEN; ukuhlela indawo efanelekile ezinsukwini zokuqala futhi njengoba i-LITTLE EDEN ikhula; ukuthola izindawo ezifanele unomphela kanye nabahlali nezinto ezihamba ngokomzimba ngokuqhubeka komlando wayo; kuvulwa ama-akhawunti okuqala asebhange; ukugcina isethi yokuqala yezincwadi nokuqinisekisa ukubalwa kwezimali kusuka onyakeni wokuqala; esebenza 'njengobuso bomphakathi' beNhlangano esakhasayo emihlanganweni yomphakathi; izethulo, ukubhala izincwadi kubaphathi abehlukene kanye neziphathimandla zomphakathi, amaphephandaba njll; ukubhekana neziphathimandla zikamasipala nezezifundazwe; ukuphelezela iDomitilla ekuvakasheni okuhlukahlukene isib. umfundisi, abazali, iziphathimandla, amakhaya afanayo njll; ukusiza iDomitilla ngemisebenzi ejwayelekile yansuku zonke yeNhlangano isib. ukuhlinzekela ezokuthutha zabahlali; esiza ukuhambisa abahlali; ukusiza ngokuwasha izingubo zabahlali nsuku zonke / ngeviki, amanabukeni njll. njll.

Njengoba i-LITTLE EDEN isunguliwe futhi itholakala emakhaya ahlukahlukene, ngo-Ephreli 1973 kwaqhamuka izithandani ezivela eThekwini zizobona INCANE EDEN, kodwa iKomiti Yokungeniswa ingaziwa yaletha ingane yabo (ne-Down's Syndrome) nabo. Njengoba iKomidi bekufanele lihlangane ngesonto elilandelayo, UDomitilla noDanny abazange banqikaze bathatha uMatthew osemncane bamyisa ekhaya lakhe lapho anakekelwa khona baze badlula bobabili. Uthando nokunakekelwa okwanikezwa uMathewu bobabili uDanny noDomitilla kwakungaphezu kwamagama. UDanny wayehlala njalo ngesineke noMathewu ngaphansi kompheme ongaphandle komnyango wabo ongemuva amfundise izisekelo eziyisisekelo - noma ngabe leli yizwi elilodwa noma amabili ngesiNtaliyane noma ngesiFulentshi, etshela isikhathi, ukuphatha ikhrayoni lokufaka imibala encwadini yemibala yengane njll. Kwakungenxa yokubona imikhosi ethandazwayo kaDanny noDomitilla lapho uMatthew ayenesifiso sokuba iseva ye-altare - ngakho-ke waba yiseva yokuqala ye-altare le-Downs Syndrome esifundeni saseSt Thérèse esebenza lapho njalo eMass Holy kanye nokuba yiseva ephakeme ye-altare womabili amasonto amancane ENCANE . Lesi senzo sobunye sothando olumsulwa lomuntu kumakhelwane womuntu yilokho okwasindisa umshado walezi zithandani - njengoba kamuva kwafakaza KANYE NGOKUNCANE ngunina kaMatthew.

Ama-1970s kwakuyiminyaka eyishumi lapho uDanny akhonza khona i-LITTLE EDEN emikhakheni eyehlukene njengoSihlalo wokuqala we (lapho-ke) IKomidi eliPhethe (namuhla iBhodi labaPhathi); uMqondisi oMkhulu wokuqala (namuhla isikhundla se-CEO) kanye noMqondisi wokuqala we-Honorary ezinsukwini zakhe zokugcina. Kulesi sikhathi uqale izinhlelo eziningi ezifinyelela kude kufaka phakathi ukusungulwa kwekhaya elihlala njalo le-LITTLE EDEN, isikhungo sokwelapha, imihlomulo yempesheni yabasebenzi, ukuthengwa kwesakhiwo eBapsfontein okwathi kamuva sakhiwa saba yi-Elvira Rota Village, ukusho ezimbalwa. Yize ngoNovemba 1984, indodakazi, waqokwa njengoSihlalo weNhlangano, UDanny uqhubeke nokubandakanyeka emkhakheni wakhe wokuhlonipha ngokuthwala kakhulu umthwalo wokuphatha nge-pro-bono - konke lokhu ngesikhathi sakhe sokuphumula ekupheleni kwamasonto nakusihlwa.

Esikhathini sempilo yakhe uDanny wayezinikele ngokujulile emphakathini wakubo nasenhlalakahleni yababekiwe. Mayelana nalokhu ubeyilungu elide le-Edenvale Community Chest ehlela imicimbi eyahlukene yokuqoqa imali yokuxhasa izinhlangano ezisiza umphakathi. Iminikelo yakhe emihle nemisebenzi yakhe yokusiza yathonya abantu abaningi abangamaKatolika nabangewona amaKatolika ngokufanayo:

“… Yize ngingeyena umKatolika, Ngikutholile lokho kuyo yonke impilo yami, UNkulunkulu ungiqondisile futhi wangiqondisa ukuthi ngibe yingxenye yale mpilo yamaKhatholika. Ngabantu abanjengoDomitilla noDaniel abangisekele kule ndlela. Baye basebenzisa ubuKhatholika futhi basebenzisa izimiso zabo ezimpilweni zabo zansuku zonke ukusiza nokusimamisa abanye. UDomitilla noDaniel bangama-testamente eqiniso entando kaNkulunkulu, Umsebenzi KaNkulunkulu neZwi LikaNkulunkulu… ”

Njengoba imfundo yamaKhatholika yayiyinto ebaluleke kakhulu kuzo zonke izingane zakhe, zonke izingane zazifunda esikoleni esingcwele iRosary School, eyasungulwa yi-Missionary Sisters of the Holy Rosary ku 1940. Lapho i-Holy Rosary School Trust isungulwa ku 1995, UDanny wabuzwa ukuthi ngabe uzimisele yini ukusebenza njengelungu leBhodi Labaphathiswa. Impendulo yakhe yavuma ngokushesha, okukhombisa ukuthi ukuthathe njengelungelo ukwenza njalo. Usebenze kuleso sikhundla 11 iminyaka kuze kube 2006 eneminyaka engu 85 iminyaka. UDanny wayebandakanyeke kakhulu emisebenzini eyahlukahlukene yesonto laseSt Thérèse. Phakathi kwalokhu njengekhawuntara lokuqoqa imali kanye nokulungiselela amabhuku ezimali zesifunda. Wayeyilungu lomkhandlu wesifunda iminyaka eminingi. Waphinde waqokwa waba ngomunye wabaNgqongqoshe Abavamile Bokudla Okungcwele futhi waba ngumfundi wokuqala ongeyena umfundisi esifundeni.

Umuzwa wakhe wobulungiswa bezenhlalo wawungagcini ngokulinganiselwa ebusweni bakhe 'obusobala' kodwa wawugcwele kuzo zonke izici. Ekhaya nangesikhathi sobandlululo, ikhaya labo belivulekile futhi lamukelwa ozakwabo abaMnyama; ngokubandakanyeka kwakhe noDomitilla nomufi uFr Paul Winters OMI, imoto yabo yokuqala yekhombi inikelwe eSt Gemma’s Mission School. Izingubo zamadodakazi abo ’Isidlo Sokuqala Esingcwele zanikezwa isikole esifanayo ngemihlangano yabo Yokuqala Engcwele yaminyaka yonke. Emzini wabo onesizotha, yize ingadi yayincane, sasingekho isikhathi esiningi esikhululekile sokuyinakekela futhi hhayi ukuba yindoda yezandla uDanny waqasha umlimi wasengadini. Njengoba umgadi wensimu wayesekhulile futhi engenayo indawo yokuhlala efanele, UDanny wayenezindawo zokuhlala ezifanele kakhulu futhi walungisa lapho ahlala khona impilo yakhe yokondliwa nokugqokiswa. Ukukhathazeka okufanayo kwakubonakala kumgcini wendlu iminyaka eminingi, uDanny wamenzela iphothifoliyo yezezimali ukubhekela umhlalaphansi wakhe futhi umndeni waxhasa ngaye imfundo yezingane zakhe eziyisithupha futhi wamnikeza izidingo zokuhamba nezokufunda.

Eminyakeni yakhe yakamuva, ngesikhathi esithe xaxa esikhululekile futhi ebona umthwalo osindayo emahlombe endodakazi yakhe, ekuphatheni izindaba ze-LITTLE EDEN, wayebhala amanye amazwi okukhuthaza:

“Isonto [I-Elvira Rota Village ‘Holy Family Chapel’] 'Ukuqala' kufanelwe ukuhalalisela wena nabo bonke labo ababandakanyekayo. Makabongwe uNkulunkulu. Kuyisipho esimangalisayo… Siyakuthanda… futhi kwangathi umndeni Ongcwele ungakuqondisa futhi ukuvikele. ”

futhi futhi ekunikezeni isikhuthazo nge-sprig yeseluleko sikababa :

“Makabongwe uJesu Kristu! … Uqalile 2010 nge-bang ye-LITTLE EDEN. Impumelelo kulekota yokuqala iyamangalisa ngempela. Isonto elisha [I-Elvira Rota Village ‘Holy Family Chapel’], iSakramente elibusisiwe ekotishi, umbhishobhi omkhulu namanazaretha endaweni yokuhlala. Bonke abanawe oshayelayo! Sengathi umndeni Ongcwele ungakuvuza ngokucebile emoyeni. Lezi, futhi konke okunye ukuphumelela kuza ngentengo engokwengqondo nengokomzimba, okungukuthi izibopho ezingeziwe zombili zokuziphatha nezomthetho, ukungezwani kanye nobunzima bomzimba empilweni yakho, okumele ngabe ubhekene nazo… Sicela wazi izingozi, izibopho ezibekwe kuwe naku-LITTLE EDEN. Ngakho-ke unesibopho sokuqala: ukuzinakekela! Ungayidluli! Siyakusekela emithandazweni yethu, ngothando olukhulu nangokunconywa. ”

Kwenye yezincwadi zakhe zokugcina, futhi endodakazini yakhe, wabhala:

“Ngiyabonga ngobuningi oNgcwele uMbhishobhi Edward azobungaza ngezinhloso zami nangokuphumula komphefumulo wethu othandekayo uDomitilla - sengathi angaphumula ngokuthula. Kusukela lapho edlulile futhi efunde konke ukuphawula okuhle futhi okuqotho emiyalezweni eminingi yokubabaza nothando uDomitilla uvuse wonke amanothi enduduzo atholwe amakholwa nabangane, iningi labo ebelimazi ngokunganaki njengentokazi emomothekayo yase-Italy eMisa, manje kuphela, Ngiyabona ukuthi mina no-Owen sasingazi, nathi, bathatheka ngobulula obulula bukaDomitilla, ukwethembeka, ukholo lwakhe olujulile kuJesu naseNkosikazini yethu Ebusisiwe ukuthi thina (Mina no-Owen) angikaze ngibe nesibindi sokukhuluma komunye nomunye noma kuye ... aze avule amehlo ethu ngokusibuza! lokho thina! wacabanga ngalesi siphakamiso salo omunye umuntu sokuthi amshade!! konke ukuhlinzekwa nguNkulunkulu… Ngakho-ke ngiyakucela uLucy, yeka ukucula izindumiso zami… vele ungigcine emithandazweni yakho! Mina no-Owen sasingamanxusa akhethwe uNkulunkulu… ukuletha iDoma yethu ethandekayo eNingizimu Afrika futhi sabeka inkundla ye ‘LITTLE EDEN’. Sengathi uNkulunkulu anganibusisa nani nonke nibambe iqhaza emsebenzini wezingelosi e-LITTLE EDEN. ”

NgoLwesihlanu ekuseni 28 Disemba 2012 ngo-01h45 nasenkampanini yamadodakazi akhe, UDaniel ‘Danny’ uGeorge Hyams - umyeni kaDomitilla ongasekho, ubaba, Ubabezala, umkhulu, ukhokho, avale amehlo, wathatha umoya wakhe wokugcina ngobumnene futhi wamukelwa nguMama wethu Obusisiwe, Uthole indawo yakhe yokuphumula ezandleni zikaJesu futhi wagcwala inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ingunaphakade.

UDanny wayeyisibonelo esingajwayelekile sokuphila iZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi wenza konke okusemandleni akhe ukwenza ngcono isimo salabo ababedinga usizo. Encwadini ebhalwe indodakazi yakhe encane ku 13 Septhemba 2012, ngaphambi nje kokushona kwakhe, wabhala:

“Nginomuzwa wokuthi uNkulunkulu unikeze ubaba ithuba lokuphila isikhathi eside ukuze amnike isikhathi sokuba ngumuntu wakhe… Kodwa njengoba isikhathi sesihambile, ushintsho kuBaba lubonakala lukhulu ngasohlangothini olungokomoya. Esikhathini esedlule uBaba wayevumela njalo, futhi kusekelwa, Umama abe nesikhathi sakhe esikhethekile sokukhula kwakhe ngokomoya, noma ngabe kwakuyiMisa lakhe lansuku zonke, isikhathi sakhe sokuthandaza kusihlwa… kepha manje ngikholelwa ukuthi isikhathi uNkulunkulu asivikele kuBaba ukumvumela ukuba akhule ngokomoya. Isikhathi angakaze azinike sona phambilini, mhlawumbe wayengacabangi ngokuzinikela, mhlawumbe ngoba wayengacabangi ukuthi umfanele ngaphezu kukaMama?…
… Ubaba manje ubonakala ekhethe uSanta Faustino wakhe ofanelekile ukuba amlamulele emithandazweni yakhe. Ukuzinikela kwakhe kuMama uMariya akukashintshi; ukuzinikela kwakhe kuMthendeleko, eMiseni Elingcwele, kuJesu, ukuthandaza iRosari akukashintshi… Ngikholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uvumela uBaba ukuba ajulise ingokomoya lakhe, ukuze ube yimfihlakalo eyengeziwe, ngendlela uMama ayeyifinyelele ngaphambi kokuba uNkulunkulu akulungele ukumyisa eMbusweni wakhe waseZulwini…

… Manje ngiyazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu unikela ngalesi sikhathi emhlabeni ukuthi uBaba ajulise ingokomoya lakhe ukuze akulungele ngokuphelele ukwamukela futhi akwazi ukwamukela kwabanye ngaphambi kokuba alilungele iZulu. Lowo onikele ngokuphila kwakhe konke. Empilweni yakhe yansuku zonke ngibona uBaba ethandaza, ngokuhlukile ngendlela akhuleke ngayo phambilini, ukukhuluma ngengokomoya ngendlela angakaze enze ngayo phambilini; Ngiyakuqaphela ukuvulwa kwesici esihlukile sempilo kababa engokomoya engingakaze ngisibone ngaphambili…”

Isisindo se-requiem senzeka eSt Thérèse Catholic Church, I-Edenvale ivuliwe 7 Janawari 2013 ngomngcwabo eLITTLE EDEN, Elvira Rota Village, EBapsfontein, ethuneni elifanayo neDomitilla yakhe ayithandayo eseceleni kwesonto elingaphansi kwama-eves ayo. IMisa Engcwele ibiphethwe nguKhonene wayo uWilfrid Cardinal Napier OFM, futhi wakhuliswa ngu-The Most Rev Archbishop George Francis Daniel Emeritus noThe Rt Rev Bishop Graham Rose. Eceleni kwakhe kwakukhona nompristi wesifunda sakhe, UMfu Fr Joe Leathem OMI wase-Edenvale, UFr Kevin Bugler OMI noFr Richard Kugbeh-Kasin. NjengaseDomitilla nangesicelo sakhe ngasinye, Ibhokisi lakhe likabhokisi likaphayini.

Induduzo, njengoba kwenzeka kuDomitilla, kuthelekele ku-LITTLE EDEN kanye nomndeni obuvela kuleli nakwamanye amazwe.

Ngenkathi abantu bebona uDomitilla njengomuntu ongcwele, UDanny naye angabukwa ngendlela efanayo ngendlela yakhe ethule. Wayephila impilo elula, impilo engenabugovu; impilo yokusiza uDomitilla, yokusiza abanye, lokungazicabangeli yena kuqala. Ukukhathalela kwakhe kokuqala kwakungukuthandazela nokuqinisekisa umhlaba onokuthula nobulungiswa. Lapho angaba nethonya eliqondile khona, wakwenza. Ukuthatha uhambo oluya eZweni Elingcwele nakanjani ngoLwesibili kusihlwa kwandisa isidlo sakusihlwa somndeni kanye neRosary, enye yezinhloso zakhe kwakuhlala kungukuthi ‘kube nokuthula eZweni Elingcwele’.

Isibonelo sakhe, kanye naleyo kaDomitilla, yokuphila okungavamile ekusebenzeleni abanye kuthinte abantu abaningi. Kusuka kwelinye lamavolontiya okuqala asiza uDanny noDomitilla ekusunguleni i-LITTLE EDEN:

“… Ngingathanda nonke nazi ngomthelela omkhulu abazali benu ababa nawo empilweni yami yangasese. Kwakukhulu! Uthando lwabo nokunakekelana kwabo kanye nani nonke bekuyisibonelo.
