同樣在今年，已成為一個傳統，慈幼會總會長查偉思神父，在2009年12月31日下午前往母佑會總部探訪時，在總部的劇院，跟溫幗儀修母及她議會的部份成員正式介紹本年贈言，在場的還有其他的修女，他們有些來自總院，有些來自羅馬的培育院。
2010年度的贈言邀請慈幼大家庭的27個團體，作為信實的門徒及熱切的使徒，把福音帶給青年人。
2010年贈言有以下幾個背景資料。
教宗本篤十六世邀請所有慈幼會會士，在26屆全代會的機會上，考慮將褔傳成為他們使命裡主要及首選的前線工作。宗座在26屆全代會的機會上給總會長的一封信中，說：「這帶來很多策略，緊急的挑戰，廣大的活動園地，但它的基本目的是建議給人，每人應活出他們的人的生命像耶穌活出他的人的生命一樣。在多元宗教及俗化的環境中，我們需要找出一些新方式使耶穌為人所知，特別是對年輕人，藉此他們能發現耶穌那常在的令人著謎的地方。」
在此再加上慈幼家庭的成員恆久的努力，貢獻他們各自的組別的神恩的特色，以便大家聯合一起，貫徹：「以福傳辦教育，以教育作福傳」，為幫助青年人用基督的眼去看待他人及環繞他們的世界。
2010年贈言同樣邀請大家從最近慶祝的聖保祿年和世界主教會議獲得益處。
伴隨2010年贈言，查偉思神父提議將真福盧華神父，作為門徒的模範及創新的忠誠者，他是鮑思高神父的首位繼承人，2010年是他離世的一百周年紀念。
在2010年贈言中，同樣提到與2008年一樣有教育的題材和推廣人權。2009年，邀請慈幼家庭變成拯救青年人的龐大運動，並勸告他們要更徹底活出基督徒的聖召，把基督—天主的聖言迎入心中。

Being authentic disciples and zealous apostles in bringing the Gospel to the young
(ANS – Italy –Rome, 31 December 2009 ) – Also this year, as is the tradition, the Rector Major of the Salesians, Fr Pascual Chávez Villanueva, officially presented the Strenna to the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians during a visit to the Generalate this afternoon, 31 December.
In the theatre of the Generalate, in addition to Mother Yvonne Reungoat and some of her Council, among those present were the Sisters of the community, those from the Auxilium and those from the formation houses in Rome.
The Strenna for 2010 invites the 27 groups of the Salesian Family to bring the Gospel to the young, being authentic disciples and zealous apostles.
The background to the Strenna for 2010 contains several items.
Above all the invitation of Benedict XVI to the Salesians, on the occasion of their 26th General Chapter, to consider evangelisation the main and priority frontier for their mission. The Pontiff, addressing the Rector Major in a Letter sent to him on the occasion of the GC26 said: “It presents many tasks, urgent challenges, vast fields of activity, but its fundamental purpose is that of proposing that everyone should live their human life as Jesus lived it. In multi-religious situations and in secularised ones, it is necessary to find new ways of making Jesus known, especially to the young, so that they may discover his perennial fascination.”
To this is added the constant commitment of the members of the Salesian Family to link together, as a specific characteristic of the charism of their own groups, the ideas summed up in the phrase “educating by evangelising and evangelising by educating” in order to help young people to see others and the world around them through the eyes of Christ.
The Strenna for 2010 is also an invitation to draw profit from the recent celebration of the Pauline Year and from the Synod on the Word.
In addition with the Strenna for 2010 Fr Chávez proposes as a model of the disciple and of creative fidelity Blessed Michael Rua, the first successor of Don Bosco, the centenary of whose death occurs in 2010.
Present once again in this Strenna, as in that of 2007 is the theme of education and the promotion of human rights, and from 2008 the invitation to make the Salesian Family a vast movement for th4e salvation of the young, and the exhortation to live in a more radical manner the Christian vocation welcoming into one’s heart Christ the Word of God.
