柯蒂美.澤德封聖路上的格言和標誌

【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2022 年9月 2 日羅馬慈幼總部訊】 ─ 為使柯蒂美.澤德封聖這一類慈幼會暨慈幼家庭歷史性事件更富策勵性,我們需要一些形像及短語,伴隨著整個籌備過程及封聖事件期間。

因此,慈幼會宣福、列聖總申請人嘉米隆尼( Pierluigi Cameroni )神父,邀請了一群來自意大利及阿根廷的慈幼會士及平信徒,共同創作一句格言及一個標誌,能清楚表達重點,同時使柯蒂美.澤德的形象簡明地展現出來。

他們提出了幾個格言建議後,總會長范達民神父會同宣福、列聖總申請人 嘉米隆尼神父,宣佈了封聖格言:「我信了、我許下、我治癒了」。差不多所有建議都有這個共同點,就是這位未來聖者所說過的這三句話,見證著在他患肺結核後得到神蹟性痊癒,也是他後來被聖叫去服務病者及窮人的根源。

這三個動詞,標誌著一個屬神的旅程,把自己完全交託在天主手中,並為他人的利益而獻身服務。他得到治癒後,成為治療者,不只是靠復健治療及醫學科技,更是靠他整個人,就是他每天展現的無條件的愛。

根據所選取的格言,有幾個標誌設計建議出來,最後揀選了附圖所示的這個設計。

附圖中的兩種顏色,紅色及藍色,隱含了聖母進教之佑的色彩,並顯示澤德畢生所展現對天主及鄰人的愛(紅色),同時也表示把生命完全交託於天主旨意的奧蹟,以及祂的上智安排(藍色)。

在這位慈幼會修士前冠上「聖人」這個名號,是他的「親戚」,窮人慣常稱呼他的方式。因此,這位病者及窮人的「長兄」,即我們一向簡單地稱呼他「柯蒂美.澤德」,現已宣佈為「聖人」。

A motto and a logo on the road to canonization of Artemide Zatti

(ANS – Rome–RMG, 02 September 2022) – Animating a historic event for the Salesian Congregation and Family, such as the canonization of Artemide Zatti, requires an image and a phrase that are able to accompany on the path of preparation and during the event itself.

Thus, on the part of the General Postulation of the Congregation, Fr. Pierluigi Cameroni invited a team of Salesians and lay people, both from Italy and Argentina, to think together about a motto and a logo that would express as clearly as possible the radiant and at the same time simple figure of Artemide Zatti.

After several suggestions of possible mottos, the Rector Major, Fr. Ángel Fernández Artime, together with the Postulator General, Fr. Pierluigi Cameroni, presented the canonization motto “I believed, I promised, I was healed”. Almost all of the proposals had as a common basis these three words uttered by the future saint when bearing witness to his miraculous recovery from tuberculosis and, consequently, the origin of his vocation to serve the sick and the poor.

They are three verbs that mark a spiritual journey of abandonment into God’s hands and dedication to the good of others. He, who was healed, would now be a healer, not only with remedies and medical techniques, but with his whole person, with the unconditional love he demonstrated daily.

From the choice of the motto, some designs for the logo were proposed, and finally the one shown in the image was chosen.

The two colors, red and blue, allude to the colors of Mary Help of Christians and reveal the love for God and neighbor that marked Zatti’s entire life (red), as well as a life abandoned to the mystery of His will and Divine Providence (blue).

The appellation “saint” is preceded by the name of this Salesian coadjutor brother, which is the common way his “relatives,” the poor, used to call him. Thus, this “elder brother” of the sick and the poor, who we used to call him simply “Artemide Zatti,” is now proclaimed “saint.”
