【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2011 年 8 月 23 日西班牙馬德里訊】 ─ 西班牙的慈幼大家庭傾盡全力，接待參與馬德里普世青年節的慈幼青年運動成員，獲得一致肯定。各方人士均無不對主辦機構、行動的意念、支撐慈幼青年運動的勇氣，予以讚賞，包括總會長、母佑會總會長、隨同各代表的慈幼會士，尤其所有參與的青少年。
籌備工作需時兩年，才能達到今日的成果，除了組織事宜外 ─ 更重要的，就是他們必需懷有正確的心態。他說：「我們選擇了盡力承擔西班牙普世青年節的籌備工作，當作一項積極性的挑戰，並即時決定這是優先處理的事項。」西班牙及葡萄牙各會省均同心協力，而慈幼會及母佑會馬德里會省，就是核心的推動力量。 他亦表示：「我們一日比一日更堅信，這項盛事將帶來很多裨益。首先，我們的眼界擴闊了，然後慈幼青年運動受到注意。西班牙的慈幼會士從一開始便意識到，隨著日子臨近，他們需要在接待及領導方面投入巨大動力，然而他們亦感受到如此多的善意及樂於相助，尤其是眾多的義工，他們領會到，由自願工作而來的的動力。」
具體來說，這有著多重暗示。他強調說：「我們為此能發展出更强的靈修，以及所面對種種境況需要的謙遜，並與其他教會團體合作。」 慈幼青年運動所受到的注意，來自兩場聚會 ─ 8月17日的守夜祈禱及8月20日往機場前的大聚集 ─ 從外在標記如送給參與者的T恤，以及我們要求世青節籌備委員會將我們安排在 C2 範圍及在機場把我們安排在一起。 Soler 神父解釋說：「展望將來，從所得的這些經驗是我們樂意投入我們慈幼青年運動的計劃，以更大的强度及意識，認同以我們特有喜樂的方式進行是如何美好。」 8月17日出席在 Atocha 舉行聚會的逾七千名慈幼青年，都感受到大會處事的效率及整體的祥和氣氛。即使不是慈幼青年運動成員，都悠然舒暢：普世青年節，他們回國後，將與慈幼世界建立更緊密關係。 The Salesian Family’s great effort: WYD & SYM (ANS - Spain – Madrid, 23 August 2011) – The great efforts of the Salesian Family in Spain in welcoming the Salesian Youth Movement to World Youth Day in Madrid has won unanimous approval. From the Rector Major, the Mother General of the Salesian Sisters, the Salesians who accompanied the delegations, and especially from the young people there is nothing but appreciation for the organisation, the ideas acted upon, the courage to 'back' the SYM. “The Salesian Family is alive and sensitive to the concerns of today's youth”: Fr Rosendo Soler, National Salesian Youth Ministry Delegate for Spain, is convinced that this is what Don Bosco would have needed to say had he entered the headquarters of Spain's SYM at Atocha. Fr Soler led and coordinated the large staff who made the Salesian Youth Movement so welcome in Madrid. It took two years of preparation to get to this point, where in addition to organisational issues - and more importantly than those – they took the necessary steps to develop the right mindset. “We made the choice to take up World Youth Day in Spain fully, as a positive challenge, and immediately decided that this was the priority to be undertaken” said Fr Soler. All Provinces of Spain and Portugal were unanimous in the effort, and the Madrid SDB and FMA Provinces were really the driving force. “We were convinced then, and more so now”, he added, “that this event would bring many benefits. First, the opening up of our own horizons, then for the visibility of the SYM”. The Salesians in Spain knew from the beginning that taking on the welcoming and providing leadership as the Days grew closer would involve much energy, but they found so much good will and readiness to help, expressed especially by the many volunteers, who discovered the power that comes from doing things freely”; said Fr Soler. The process has brought the SYM to an awareness of its place in the Church. Until now involvement in WYD had not involved Salesian youth to this extent, particularly young Spanish Catholics. The experience of Santiago de Compostela had not been so engaging. And the implications in concrete terms are many: “We have been able to develop a stronger spirituality, develop the necessary humility for these situations, work together with other Church groups” he noted. The visibility of the SYM came from two gatherings - the vigil on the 17th and the coming together on the 20th before leaving for Cuatros Vientos – then external signs, such as T-shirts given to all participants, and the fact that we had asked the WYD organising committee for our own area in C2 and at the airfield. “Looking forward, what comes from this experience is the willingness to work at our Salesian Youth Ministry project with greater intensity and awareness of how good it is” Rosendo Soler explained, “in our characteristically cheerful way”. The efficiency and overall calm were undoubtedly the aspects noted by more than 7,000 Salesian youth who gathered at Atocha on August 17. Even people not part of the SYM found themselves at ease: World Youth Day, as they return to their countries, will mean closer ties with the Salesian world. |

在籌備過程中，慈幼青年運動意識到在教會中的位置。在此之前，慈幼青年運動從未如此動員慈幼青年，尤其年青西班牙教友。在之前聖地牙哥的世青節，也沒出現如此投入的場面。
