你喜歡講述自己的故事嗎？
親愛的會士、好友及慈幼家庭成員！
在新一年2020年的第一天，我祝願你們新年快樂，主寵日隆！現在正是2014-2020這個時期的最後階段，再過數星期，第28屆全會代表大會（2月16日至4月4日）便會舉行，傳統上我們會埋頭苦幹，進行反省及評估。當我們回顧過去六年，我們地區的策勵動力時，便會發現一個有趣的經歷——慈幼式講述故事的吸引力。
我們感謝所有在過去22年來，致力在我們東亞澳區，透過AustraLasia新聞，在鮑思高連結(www.bosco.link)中作分享的人們，並感謝現任的三名的慈幼會士（越南、韓國及澳洲），在新一年2020年延續這項服務！
自2009年起，慈幼傳教士的故事透過賈里哀勞11月刊分享出去，作為最佳的福傳策略動力。一個新的傳教聖召的誕生，常是源自聆聽另一個傳教士的生活故事。
經常隱而不露的慈幼翻譯員故事，是兩個東亞澳區工作坊的結晶，有助我們發掘其中的神修與典範，好像現年88歲的Hilario Passero神父，目前仍在總院工作，把慈幼會新聞及資料，從意大利文翻譯成葡文。
慈幼會修士的故事，在2018年第七屆東亞澳區慈幼會修士大會舉行之前及進行期間，展露了慈幼會獻身聖召的一面。的確，52名修士的訪問內容刊登出來，網上也有50輯YouTube訪問片段，成為眾多人的神修食糧或讀物！
協進慈幼會士的故事，以及他們的神師（省會長代理），成為了慈幼協進會首屆培育者工作坊（柬埔寨，2019年）的主要原動力。
慈幼會平信徒傳教士義工故事，我們對此認識不深。在最近於帝汶舉行的青年牧民及福傳策勵代表會議過後，我們開展了新一輪的訪問，對象為曾參與這次會議的義工及及接納他們的修道團體。
對話是我們神恩的核心，而訪問是我們運用對話來分享故事的工具。早在1841年12月8日，鮑思高已透過對話，向祿茂‧夏來理提問了不下15條問題（慶禮院傳記第12章）！我們感謝所有踴躍講述自己故事的人；願他們在這新一年繼續下去！這些故事有助我們進入生命的核心；使我們受到啟發及吸引，懷著更大的能力與熱忱，更緊密地跟隨耶穌。
願在這新一年，我們更開放自己，和別人分享我們的故事，並願意聆聽別人的故事！

EAO Good Night Talk (70)
Sacro Cuore, Rome
1 January 2020
Would you like to tell your story?
Dear confreres, friends and Salesian Family members!
On the first day of the new year 2020 I wish you a Happy and Blessed New Year! At the end of this period 2014-2020, just a few weeks before the next General Chapter 28 (16 Feb–4 Apr) we traditionally dedicate time and energy to reflection and evaluation. When we look at the dynamics of animation during the past 6 years in our Region, we discover an interesting experience – the attraction of Salesian storytelling.
We give thanks to all who contribute to the ongoing sharing within our EAO region on Boscolink (www.bosco.link) through the AustraLasia news over the past 22 years. And we give thanks also to the present team of three Salesians (Vietnam, Korea, Australia) who are making this service possible also for this new year 2020!
The Salesian missionary stories have been shared by Cagliero11 since 2009 every month, as the best dynamics of missionary animation. Usually a new missionary vocation is born from listening to another missionary’s life story.
The Salesian translator stories, normally not very visible, are the fruit of two EAO workshops and help us to discover their spirituality and models, like Fr. Hilario Passero (88 years old) who is still translating the Salesian news and materials in the General House from Italian to Portuguese.
The Salesian Brother stories enhanced the visibility of the Salesian consecrated vocation before and during the 7th EAO Salesian Brother Congress in 2018. Indeed, 52 Brothers printed interviews and 50 YouTube online interviews offer spiritual food or spiritual reading for many!
The Salesian Cooperator stories and their Delegates became the main inspiration for the first ever ASC Formation of Formators workshop (Cambodia, 2019)
The Salesian lay missionary volunteers stories are not known among us very much. After the recent Youth Ministry and Mission animation delegates meeting in Timor we started another ‘round’ of interviews both of volunteers and the religious communities who have received them.
Dialogue is at the heart of our charism, and the interview is a kind of dialogue we use to get these stories shared. Already Don Bosco, in his dialogue with Bartolomeo Garelli on 8 December 1841 (Memoirs of the Oratory, Chapter 12) used no fewer than 15 questions! We give thanks to all who do not hesitate to share their story; may they continue also during this new year! These stories help us to enter the heart of life; we get inspired or attracted to follow Jesus more closely, with more energy and enthusiasm.
My wish this year is that we become more open to sharing our stories and take time to listen to them!
