【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2013 年 3 月 14 日羅馬慈幼總部訊】 ─ 因應教宗方濟獲選，慈幼會總會長查偉思神父，向慈幼會士及整個慈幼大家庭發表新的信息，確定慈幼會與聖伯多祿新繼任人的緊密聯繫。
「我要向你們報告一個大喜訊：我們有教宗了！他是最尊貴且最可敬的佐治•瑪略，聖羅馬教會的貝戈格理奧樞機，他稱自己為方濟。」 即使他並不在那所謂「教宗人選」之內，甚至起初這在對他不認識的人中產生一些混淆，但無礙我們即時迎接這位聖伯多祿的新繼任人，人們以不息的掌聲、喜悅的呼喊，向他反覆地唱著：「方濟，方濟，方濟……」 聖神再一次引領樞機團，推舉天主所揀選的人，作為基督的代表。 我偕同你們眾人，親愛的兄弟姊妹，一眾慈幼大家庭成員，以及青年人，讚美感謝上主，恩賜我們貝戈格理奧樞機、一位耶穌會士、布宜諾斯艾利斯總主教，我有幸認識他，並在阿帕雷西達拉丁美洲主教團全體會議中與他一起工作，後來又在澤菲林獲宣真福慶典中與他在一起。 揀選方濟這個名字深具意義，因為這個名字挑選出他的一些特點 ─ 簡樸、神貧、真誠 ─ 同時也成為綱領性的，因為這名字強調著一些描述今日教會面貌以及與世界關係的元素。 在他施放教宗降福之前，先請求我們祝福他。在深長的默靜中，每人都由衷地讓聖神引領，向教宗送上祝福。我現在邀請你們，祈求聖神賜予他豐厚恩賜，使他獲得真光來明辨上主今天對祂教會的期望，並得到力量來達成。 我們懷著信德的精神，以崇高的敬意及忠誠，接迎教宗方濟，一如鮑思高神父會做的，以及我們把他交託他給聖母進教之佑母親的的關顧與引領，同時，在這新福傳的時代，我們向他保證我們的感情，我們的服從及我們最忠誠和清晰的合作。 總會長查偉思神父 Message to Salesians and members of the entire Salesian Family (ANS - RMG –Rome, 14 March 2013) – Given the election of Pope Francis, the Salesian Rector Major, Fr Pascual Chávez Villanueva, offers the Congregation and the Salesian Family a new message that confirms the great bond that Salesians have with St Peter's Successor. I had the grace of being in St Peter's Square packed with thousands upon thousands of people, especially young people, at the moment that we heard the much-awaited proclamation:
“Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum; Even though he was not amongst the “papabili”, and initially this caused some confusion for those who did not know him, there was no delay in the welcome that was given to the New Successor of St Peter and the response was a lengthy applause, shouts of joy, and then the first chants: 'Francesco, Francesco, Francesco....'. Once again it was the Holy Spirit guiding the Cardinals in choosing the man God himself had chosen as the Vicar of Christ. With all of you, dear brothers and sisters, members of the entire Salesian Family, and young people, I praise and thank the Lord for the great gift he has given us in the person of Card. Jorge Mario Bergoglio, a Jesuit, Archbishop of Buenos Aires, whom I had the grace of getting to know, and dealing with him personally in the General Latin American Epsicopal Conference at Aparecida and, later, for the Beatification of Ceferino Namuncurà. The choice of name, Francis, is significant because in a certain way it picks up some of his characteristic traits - simplicity, poverty, authenticity – and at the same time it becomes programmatic since it highlights some elements that describe the face of the Church today and its relationship with the world. Before imparting his first blessing as Pontiff, he asked us to bless him. In profound silence each one did this from the depths of his or her heart, allowing themselves to be guided by the Spirit. I now invite you to invoke the abundant gifts of the Holy Spirit on him, so that he may have the light to discern what the Lord expects of His Church today and may find the energy to do it. In a spirit of faith and with much esteem and devotion we welcome Pope Francis, as Don Bosco would have done, and while we entrust him to the care and maternal guidance of Mary, Help of Christians, we assure him of our affection, our obedience and our most sincere and clear collaboration at this time of new evangelisation.
