Imibereho ya Mutagatifu Floransi w’i Karitajene

Floransi yavukiye mu ntara ya Karitajene, yayoborwaga na Se, Severiyani, mu gihugu cya Hispaniya. Hari mu kinyejana cya gatandatu, uyu Floransi bamwe bita Florantina yavukaga. Yari mushiki wa mutagatifu Isidori wa Seviye na mutagatifu Leyandire na mutagatifu Fulujansi babaye abepisikopi b’ibirangirire n’intwari mu butagatifu. Yabaye imfubyi akiri muto, aragizwa musaza we mukuru Leyandire, nuko amutoza imigenzo myiza ya gikirisitu akiri muto. Floransi yari umunyamico myiza, akagira umutima ushishoza kandi agakunda kwiga ibyanditswe bitagatifu, abyigishijwe na musaza we Leyandire.

Uyu Leyandire ni we watanze ubuhamya avuga ko mushiki we yari afite ubuhanga bwo gucengera ibyanditswe bitagatifu, cyane cyane Isezerano rya Kera, by’umwihariko Indirimbo Ihebuje. Ku bw’ibyo, yashoboye gufasha musaza we wari ukiri muto: Isidori, amwigisha amahame y’Ukwemera gutagatifu kwa gikirisitu, kandi akabirana icyizere cy’uko Isidori azagera ku butagatifu. Umunsi umwe, Isidore akiri muto cyane, Floransi yabonye irumbo ry’inzuki zinjira mu kanwa ka Isidori, zisohoka zitumbagira zigana mu ijuru. Ibi byamuteye ubwoba, asaba Imana ko yamusobanurira, nuko Imana imuhishurira ko Isidori azaba umwarimu ukomeye wa Kiliziya, ko kubera inyigisho ze igihugu cya Hispaniya kizava mu buyobe bw’abakurikiye inyigisho za Ariyusi. Floransi yanze abategetsi benshi bifuzaga ko bashyingiranwa, ntiyakundaga irari ry’iyi si, ahubwo afata icyemezo cyo kwiyegurira Imana, aba umubikira mu kigo cy’abamonakikazi cyari aho i Seviye.

Urwo rugo rw’abihayimana ni mutagatifu Leyandire waruhaye amategeko agenga uwo muryango. Ageze mu kigo cy’abihayimana, Floransi yihatiye kurangwa n’imigenzo myiza ikwiye umukirisitu ndetse n’umubikira by’umwihariko: urukundo, ukwicisha bugufi, n’ubukene. Abakobwa benshi bakururwaga n’impumuro y’ubutagatifu bwe, bakaza bamusanga ngo biyegurire Imana hamwe na we kandi ibigo byinshi by’abamonakikazi byasabye ko ari we ubiyobora no kugendera kumabwiriza ye. Mutagatifu Leyandire yamubonagaho ubutagatifu kandi akizera ubuvunyi bw’isengesho rye. Yanditse udutabo tubiri ku migenzo myiza y’abamonaki be n’iya mushiki we Floransi, nuko aravuga ati:’ ndakwinginze, mushiki wanjye ngo igihe uri imbere y’Imana ujye unyibuka mu isengesho ryawe, kandi wibuke na Isidori umuvandimwe wacu ukiri muto. Nzi neza ko Imana itega amatwi isengesho ryawe ry’umubikira maze ikumva icyo uyitubwirira.”

Floransi yagize ihirwe ryo kubona musaza we muto, umwepisikopi Iidori yigisha neza amahame matagatifu muri Hispaniya, maze abantu benshi bakishimira izo nyigisho ze nziza, zinyuze umutima, ndetse bakanishimira ingero nziza z’ubutagatifu bwe, n’ishyaka rye mu kwamamaza Ivanjili. Ibyo bikaba byarirukanye ubuyobe bwa Ariyusi muri Hispaniya nk’uko Imana yari yarabimuhishuriye. Floransi yari yaratwawe n’urukundo rw’Imana. Amaze gusaza, asinzirira muri Nyagasani, ari ahitwa Astigi mu karere ka Andaluziya. Ni we wari umukuru w’urwo rugo rw’ababikira. Musaza we Leyandire ni we wamushyinguye muri Katederali y’i Seviye, ahagana mu mwaka wa 636. Nk’uko biri mu gitabo cy’abatagatifu cya Roma (Martyrologe romain), Twizihiza mutagatifu Floransi kuwa 20 Kamena. Ahandi yizihizwa ni kuwa 28 Kanama. Mutagatifu Floransi, udusabire!
