Kupewa Daraja la Ushemasi

Katika historia ya Kanisa, vitu vitatu vimejitokeza ambavyo kwavyo mtu hujongea daraja takatifu Hivi ndivyo huitwa madaraja matakatifu

Na twavifahamu kama uaskofu,ukuhani na ushemasi.
Pamoja na kwamba vyatofautiana vyote ni sehemu ya sakramenti ya daraja takatifu.
Mtaguso wa II wa Vaticano huongea juu ya ukuhani mmoja wa kimungu ambao hutendwa katika ngazi tatu na wale ambao tangu kale wamekuwa wakiitwa Maaskofu, makuhani na mashemasi. (Lumen Gentium & sect;. 28)

Wanawake walipewa daraja la ushemasi katika kanisa la Kale.

Desturi hii imehifadhiwakimaandishi tangu karne za kwanza tisa,hasa katika Kanisa la Kigiriki(mashariki).

Wanawake mashemasi walisaidia katika ubatizo wa wanawake uliohitaji kupakwa mafuta na kuzamishwa majini mwili mzima.

Twafahamu bayana kanuni za daraja zilizotumika. Zahusisha kuwekwa mikono na Askofu, sala ya Roho Mtakatifu ya kupewa ushemasi na kupewa stola ya ushemasi.
Soma hapa mfano halisi wa kanuni hizo.

Daraja la ushemasi lilifanana kwa kila kitu kwa wanaume na wanawake. Kama wanawake mashemasi hawakupewa daraja kihalali,basi, hata wanaume mashemasi hawakupewa kihalali.

Wakati huo Kanisa la kigiriki(mashariki) lilikuwa Katoliki kabisa, kwani mgawanyiko wa magharibi ulitokea mwaka 1054.

Desturi hii yaweza kupatikana kutoka wakati wa Mt. Paulo. Alihudumu pamoja na Foibeshemasiwa kanisa la Kenkrea(Warumi 16:1-2).

Mitaguso ya kimataifa ya kanisa kama Kalsedoni, Trullo n Nisea ya II, ilikubali daraja la ushemasi kwa wanawake.

Basi, kama wanawake walipokea daraja takatifu wakati huo vile vile hata sasa waweza pokea.
