選舉於早上10時20分進行，只需首輪投票便宣佈結果，會場不斷傳出掌聲以示歡迎。大會主席查偉思神父，邀請Ángel神父站在他身旁，說：「親愛的Ángel神父，天主今天透過你的會士兄弟，召請你成為鮑思高神父的繼任人。你不是被召叫效法總會長，或是衛基神父或衛甘諾神父。你是鮑思高神父的繼任人，而不是查偉思的繼任人。因此，我以全代會名義詢問你，你是否願意接受。」 Angel神父以西班牙語，說出這由衷動人的話：「我把自己放在上主手中。讓我們懇求鮑思高神父和進教之佑聖母瑪利亞，在兄弟和修會的兄弟情誼中，陪伴我們、陪伴著我。懷著信德 ─ 我願意。」 新任總會長逐一接受所有全代會成員的擁抱。 GC27 : First statement of Fr Ángel Fernández Artime, new Rector Major (ANS - RMG –Roma, 25 March 2014) – The 27th General Chapter has elected Fr Ángel Fernández Artime, Provincial of Southern Argentina, as new Rector Major and Tenth Successor of Don Bosco. The election took place at 10.20 a.m., on the first ballot, and was welcomed with long applause. Fr Pascual Chávez, President of the Assembly, invited Fr Angel to come beside him, and said: "Dear Fr Ángel, through your confreres God has called you today to be the successor of Don Bosco. You are not called to be like the Rector Major, nor Don Vecchi nor Don Viganó. You are the successor of Don Bosco, not of Don Chavez. So, on behalf of the Chapter, I ask you if you accept." Speaking in Spanish, Fr Angel said with an emotional heart: "I abandon myself to the Lord. We ask Don Bosco and Mary Help of Christians to accompany us and to accompany me, with my brother Salesians and with the Congregation, and I accept with faith." The new Rector Major began right away to receive the embrace of all the Chapter members. A video is available on the ANSchannel. |
