【慈幼通訊社 2019 05 02 羅馬慈幼總部訊】 全球進教之佑九日敬禮,在去年取得成功後,將繼續於2019舉行,內容將包含慈幼家庭成聖的見證,以及鮑思高慈幼會總會長范達民神父的評論。

這個計劃首次於20185月開始,時值都靈進教之佑大殿祝聖150周年。本年剛巧為聖母進教之佑善會成立150周年,計劃將會延續,而在之後的11月,將於阿根廷布宜諾斯艾利斯,舉行第8屆聖母進教之佑國際大會。

去年的主題為鮑思高的奇夢,而今年的九日敬禮,則以深化「慈幼家庭的聖德」為題,是總會長最近一次慈幼家庭神修日所發表的主題。這樣,今年度的九日敬禮,除了是作為慈幼家庭獻給聖母進教之佑的禮物,以及各團體共融的標記外,也再一次展示2019贈言的中心思想:在日常生活中成聖。

九日敬禮的每一天,均有不同的影片講述:

      慈幼真福其中一端;

      有關聖母讚主曲的一則訓言

      一位慈幼家庭成員為一位慈幼聖者作見證

      總會長的評述

      最後禱文

九日敬禮影片備有六種語言版本(意大利語、英語、西班牙語、法語、葡萄牙語及波蘭語),載於不同頻道:慈幼會網頁、YouTube慈幼通訊社頻道及慈幼通訊社臉書,預計於515日開始。

聖母進教之佑九日敬禮的計劃,是由總會長推動,並得到意大利慈幼會會省傳播部(IME Comunicazione)的合作。意大利鮑思高家庭通訊負責人Bruno Ferrero神父、Carlo Cassatella神父及Antonella Colucci女士,一同負責撰文工作。

九日敬禮影片及文本,同時透過慈幼通訊社網址分享,可供慈幼家庭各團體、堂區及中心,作祈禱及策勵之用。

 

Novena to Mary Help of Christians, 2019 edition

 

(ANS Rome–RMG, 02May 2019) – Given last year’s success, the experience of the world novena to Mary Help of Christians is being repeated in 2019, with testimonies on the sanctity of the Salesian Family and the comment of the Rector Major of the Salesians of Don Bosco, Fr Ángel Fernández Artime.

The initiative, launched for the first time in May 2018, for the 150th anniversary of the consecration of the Basilica of Mary Help of Christians in Turin, is repeated again this year, seeing as it is the 150th anniversary celebration of the foundation of the Association of Mary Help of Christians, which has scheduled its VIII International Congress of Mary Help of Christians (in Buenos Aires, Argentina) this next November.

If last year the guiding theme was Don Bosco’s dreams, this year the novena deepens “the beatitudes of the Salesian Family”, presented by the Rector Major at the last Spirituality Days of the Salesian Family. In this way the novena, in addition to being a tribute to Mary Help of Christians and an instrument of devotional unity among all the groups of the Salesian Family, again relaunches the central theme of the 2019 Strenna: the sanctity of everyday life.

The structure of the novena provides a different video for each day which will present:

– one of the Salesian Beatitudes;
– a motto related to the Magnificat of Mary;
– a testimony from a member of the Salesian Family on a figure of Salesian holiness;
– the comment of the Rector Major;
– the final prayer.

The novena videos shall be available in six languages (Italian, English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Polish) on various channels: the sdb.org site, the ANS channel on YouTube, and the ANS Facebook page. The beginning is expected for May 15th.

The initiative of the Novena to Mary Help of Christians is promoted by the Rector Major, with the support of the Department for Social Communication, and produced by ANS, in collaboration with “IME Comunicazione”. Fr Bruno Ferrero, SDB, Director of the Italian Salesian Bulletin, Fr Carlo Cassatella and Antonella Colucci collaborated on the texts.

The videos of the novena, together with the texts – which will also be shared, through the ANS website – can thus be used for prayer and animation in the communities, in the parishes and in all the centers of the Salesian Family across the globe.

A video presentation of the novena (in Italian and Spanish) is already available on the ANSChannel.
