柯蒂美‧澤德封聖日記

(慈幼通訊社 — 羅馬訊)— 為迎接在11月13日舉行的聖柯蒂美‧澤德瞻禮,慈幼通訊社樂於重新發佈有關這個主題的新聞,作為聖位醫生聖者封聖的「日記」。

這本小冊子追蹤了柯蒂美‧澤德走向祭壇的足跡,由2022年4月9日首次宣佈他封聖,至同年10月8至9日在梵諦岡由教宗主持的重點活動;並更深入地展示無數在封聖後對天主感恩活動的精華,特別是修會所發起的,具普世意義的活動場面;以及在與柯蒂美‧澤德有直接關係的地方,如在波樂托及越瑪所舉行的活動。

書中也不乏有關對澤德個人及聖者形象的反省。並包含在數碼世界中可使用的豐富資料,可供進一步的研究與參考。

這些內容以選集形式發佈,當中極大部份的文章,是來自慈幼通訊社發佈的有關於柯蒂美‧澤德聖德封聖漫長之路,並附有聖者本身,及在這些不同活動中所拍攝的精美相片。

通訊社負責任人帕坎神父表示:「這些資料旨在促進並鞏固慈幼通訊社,能更有效地為修會及慈幼家庭,以及其他對象提供傳播服務,並與在國際、國家、會省、本地層面的出版社、電台、電視台、家庭通訊、網站、部落格、社交媒體的聲音共同合作,報導及宣傳的澤德封聖。」

這本經精心設計的小冊子整合眾多資訊內容,不但可避免有關聖柯蒂美‧澤德的慶典、見證,以及人所周知的資料,所形成的重大寶庫遭到失散,且能讓之成為後世的回憶。

小冊子已備有意大利文、英文、西班牙文、法文、葡萄牙文及波蘭文的PDF版本。

The “diary” of Artemide Zatti’s canonization

06 December 2022

(ANS – Rome) – In anticipation of the liturgy of Saint Artemide Zatti on November 13th, the Agency iNfo Salesiana is glad to relaunch those published news items on the subject, which serves as a ‘diary’ of the canonization of the Saintly Infirmarian.

The booklet traces Artemide Zatti’s journey towards the altars, from the first announcement of his canonization on April 9, 2022, to the central events of Oct. 8 and 9 at the Vatican, in the presence of Pope Francis; it goes even further, presenting a selection from among the countless events of thanksgiving to God that took place following the canonization – privileged in this selection were the events and manifestations that had global value as they were part of the institutional initiatives of the Congregation, or that took place in places particularly linked to St. Artemide Zatti, such as Boretto and Viedma.

There is also no shortage of reflections on Zatti’s as a character and figure of holiness, and plenty of references to readily available resources in the digital world for further study and insights.

The content of these pages is formed by a selection, however extremely ample, of the articles that throughout this period were by ANS to cover the long journey to sainthood of Artemide Zatti, accompanied by the most beautiful photos of the saint himself or pictures taken at the various events.

“These pages intend to enhance and give stability to the great communicative effort made by the team of the Salesian iNfo Agency (ANS) at the service of the Congregation and the Salesian Family, as well as of the many other voices that – at the international, national, provincial or local-level publishers, radio and TV broadcasters, Bulletins, websites, blogs, social networks – collaborated in the coverage and amplification of Zatti’s canonization,” explains the agency’s director, Fr. Harris Pakkam.

By bringing together in a well-designed manner the many informative items produced, the booklet in fact intends to prevent the treasure trove of celebrations, testimonies, and popular materials developed for Artemide Zatti Saint from being dispersed, lost, and instead intends to make them available for future memory as well. 

The booklet is already available today in PDF format in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Polish.
