Nikola wa Flue

Nikola wa Flue (kwa Kijerumani: Niklaus von Flüe; Unterwalden, Uswisi, 1417 - Sachseln, 21 Machi, 1487) alikuwa Mkristo anaheshimiwa na Wakatoliki na Waprotestanti kama msimamizi wa Uswisi kwa kuepusha vita kati ya majimbo yake na hivyo kudumisha umoja wake.

Mt. Nikola wa Flue.

Alitangazwa mwenye heri mwaka 1669, halafu mtakatifu mwaka 1947 na Papa Pius XII.

Sikukuu yake huadhimishwa tarehe ya kifo chake.

Maisha

Baba wa familia ya watoto kumi, mkulima, mwanasiasa, kapteni, hakimu, mwaka 1467 alifuata wito bora zaidi wa kuishi kama mkaapweke mlimani ingawa huko pia alitafutwa na wengi kutoka nchi mbalimbali kwa ushauri wake.

Akidharau kabisa malimwengu, aliacha chumba chake mara moja tu ili kupatanisha watu na hivyo kuepusha vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe nchini.

Maarufu kwa ukali wa toba yake, ulitolewa ushahidi kwa kiapo kwamba kwa miaka 19 hakula chochote ila sakramenti ya ekaristi tu.

Sala yake

Bwana, uniondolee yale yote yanayonizuia nisifike kwako;

unijalie yale yote yanayoweza kunifikisha kwako;

ujichukulie nafsi yangu, na kujipatia kabisa mwenyewe.
