【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2025 年05月8日羅馬慈幼總部訊】慈幼會懷著喜悅和感恩，歡迎良十四世教宗－羅伯多·方濟各·普雷沃斯特（Robert Francis Prevost）當選為第266任伯多祿的繼任人。
從聖伯多祿大殿的中央陽台上，他的第一句話：「願你們平安！天主愛你們每一位。」在全球教友的心中迴響。內心滿懷傳教精神的教宗良十四世，是奧斯定會會士，曾擔任聖座主教部部長，他帶著謙遜、靜默和親民的牧民精神展開他的新牧職。
由133位來自各大洲的樞機選出，他的經歷遍及法國、意大利、西班牙和美洲。他選擇的名字「良」呼應了良十三世，這位天主教社會教義的先驅。他以意大利語、西班牙語和拉丁語向世界致意，邀請大家團結、祈禱和服務。
在教宗就任之際，總會長代表慈幼會和整個慈幼家庭，向教宗致以最誠摯的祝福。在總會長的訊息中，向新教宗保證了我們的忠誠和祈禱，懇求聖神賜予他智慧和力量，願他成為教會和世界的希望、團結與和平的燈塔。
呼應鮑思高神父的教導，我們堅信有關教會和宗座，一切努力都是微不足道，並將教宗良十四世託付於聖母進教之佑。
祝教宗長壽安康！

RMG – The Salesian Congregation Greets Pope Leo XIV, Beacon of Hope for the Church
(ANS – RMG, 08 May 2025) – With joy and gratitude, the Salesian Congregation welcomes the election of Pope Leo XIV, Robert Francis Prevost, as the 267th Successor of Peter.
From the Loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica, his first words—“Peace be with you. God loves everyone.”—echoed in the hearts of the faithful worldwide. A missionary at heart, son of St. Augustine, and former Prefect for Bishops, Pope Leo XIV brings humility, serenity, and pastoral closeness to his new ministry.
Elected by 133 cardinals from every continent, his roots span France, Italy, Spain, and the Americas. His choice of the name Leo recalls Leo XIII, pioneer of Catholic social teaching. He greeted the world in Italian, Spanish, and Latin, inviting all to unity, prayer, and service.
On behalf of the Salesian Congregation and the entire Salesian Family, the Rector Major has offered heartfelt greetings to the Holy Father at the start of his pontificate.In his message, the Rector Major assures the new Pope of our devotion, our prayers, invoking the Holy Spirit to guide him with wisdom and strength, that his ministry may be a beacon of hope, unity, and peace for the Church and the world.
Echoing Don Bosco, we affirm that every effort is little when it comes to the Church and the Papacy, and we entrust Pope Leo XIV to Mary Help of Christians.
Ad multos annos, Holy Father!
