【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2024 年3月 18 日羅馬慈幼總部訊】 ─ 為紀念鮑思高神父9歲奇夢200周年，青年牧民部門將於2024年8月11日在鮑思高新堡（Castelnuovo Don Bosco）的鮑思高崗（Colle Don Bosco）舉行2024慈青共議同行會議（Salesian Youth Synod 2024）。
目前，各會省已完成溝通準備的階段，並將結果送交給籌備委員會（Pre-Synodal Commission）起草工作文件（Instrumentum Laboris）。該委員會由Joebeth Vivo神父、Ama-Edi Didier Meba Somiebalo神父、Antonella Sinagoga博士、Manoel Messias da Silva修士、Xabier Camino神父、Patrick神父和Krzysztof Tomeczkowski神父組成。Francisco Cervantes神父和Luz Aurora García Juárez修女負責總結會省青年牧民團隊的工作。
同時，我們已從世界各地收集超過200位青年的夢想，製作一本名為《咖啡桌繪本Coffee Table Book》的書。當中年輕人表達了怎樣才是真正地被傾聽，怎樣理解他們看待世界並參與其中；經驗與天主相遇，了解祂如何真實地臨在於世上；感到教會和慈幼會的臨在與陪伴，無需過著倒模的人生；了解自己的召叫，發現召叫方式以及信仰是必需的；長大後成為他人的榜樣，對自己的生命充滿熱情、明確、堅定，並在成長過程中擔任指導者；透過實體活動來欣賞身處的環境。
由來自世界各地的14名青年組成了核心小組，將與總部青年牧民部門的團隊一起，籌劃是次的慈青共議同行會議。慈幼加里亞里合唱團（Salesian Cagliari Choir）將參與音樂活動。
核心小組亦揀選了大會主題曲：《你奇夢的模樣下》（作者：Emanuele Geraci，偕同「鮑思高神子」（DB Sons）。還邀請了修會的音樂人為會議創作官方聖歌。除了得獎者外，參與相關大會樂曲的創作人有7人，提交的作品共7首。
目前，慈青共議同行會議參加者的報名表、簽證申請表、住宿、交通、翻譯服務、餐飲和資料等內容正在處理中。
參與者報名截止日期為2024年3月25日。
RMG – The Pre-Synodal Commission works on the Salesian Synod of Young People Working Document for 2024
(ANS – Rome–RMG, 18 March 2024) – On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Don Bosco’s Childhood Dream, the Youth Ministry Sector is promoting the Salesian Youth Synod 2024, from 11 to 16 August, at Colle Don Bosco, in Castelnuovo Don Bosco.
Currently, the preparatory phase of listening and dialogue has been completed in each Province and the contributions have been sent to the pre-synodal commission for drafting the working document (Instrumentum Laboris). This committee comprises Fr Joebeth Vivo, SDB, Fr Ama-Edi Didier Meba Somiebalo, SDB, Dr. Antonella Sinagoga, Bro. Manoel Messias da Silva, SDB, Fr Xabier Camino, SDB, Fr Patrick, SDB, and Fr Krzysztof Tomeczkowski, SDB. Fr Francisco Cervantes and Sister Luz Aurora García Juárez are responsible for summarising the work of the provincial youth ministry teams.
Similarly, the process of collecting more than 200 dreams of young people from all over the world for a “Coffee Table Book” (illustrated book) was completed. Among other dreams, young people have expressed some such as to be really listened to and understood in their way of seeing the world and moving in it; to experience a close God, truly embodied and alive in human situations; to feel accepted by the Church and by the Salesian presences as they are, without having to be stereotypes; to know their vocation, the ways to discover it and their faith in what is essential; for there to be adults as a point of reference who are passionate, clear, determined with their own lives and who can be guides in their process; to appreciate the context in which they live through concrete activities.
A central group or Central Commission for the Synod has been created, made up of of 14 young people from all over the world who are already working on the organisation of the Synod with the Youth Ministry Sector central team. They are Santiago Roda Cano, Wendy Mikaela Ponce, María Belén Gisbert, João Pedro Maximiano, Faddyl Fabrice Yadolo, Danwell Phoues, Marta Radic, Pablo Osorio Delgado, Kasia Grabek, Kyle Portelli, Teaghan Dolan, Jennifer Lie, Leander Pereira and Noah Rodrigues. The Salesian Cagliari Choir will be involved to animate things musically.
The team also selected the official hymn for the Synod: “In the shape of your dream” (author: Emanuele Geraci, with the “DB Sons”). Musicians in the Congregation were invited to compose an official Hymn. In addition to the winner, the following people participated by presenting anthems inspired by the theme: Belarmino Sànchez, Fabio Diaz, Fernando Gutierrez, Gilberto Driussi, Jose Miguel Ramirez, Juan Javier Bernal Garcia and Sergio Petrarca. The titles presented are “El sueño que hace soñar”, “Il tuo sogno”, “Dear John”, “Sueña”, “Celebramos tu sueño”, “un sogno da niño” and “Between your hands”
