慈幼會中華會省遵循總會的習慣,於每年一月中旬.舉行慈幼大家庭靈修日,讓慈幼會、母佑會、顯主會、鮑思高志願會、聖母進教之佑善會、聖鮑思高慈幼協進會,以及鮑思高同學會的領導層,一起分享慈幼神恩與靈修,特別是研討總會長贈言,好能與全球慈幼大家庭同步,實現鮑思高神父的理想。是項活動於本年2012年1月15日,在鄧鏡波學校完滿進行。 總會長把2015年訂定為慈幼會聖年-慶祝鮑思高神父誕辰200周年,並為未來三年的準備時段定下主題,從認識鮑思高、研究他的預防教育法,到深入領悟他的靈修,這樣,希望慈幼聖年的慶典,能為我們帶來最大的益處。因此,是次聚會的主要議題,是讓大家了解要達到的目標、現存的資源配套,以及相應的具體行動。 首先,會長林仲偉神父為大家剖析何謂慈幼會聖年。他指出,聖年的目的,是邀請我們效法鮑思高神父,如何在日常生活中,聖化自己的生活;這是慈幼會成聖的特色。林會長特別強調如何學做鮑思高神父,以及讓鮑思高神父藉我們而再次誕生在世。林會長指出,在每一個行為上,加入意識,為天主而做,藉此與天主拉上關係,這樣為每個行為賦予價值,正是耶穌在福音所提及「划到深處去(路5︰4)」「深處」的意義。有三個方面可以幫助我們「划到深處」:就是把行為與天主拉上關係,處理事情不可馬虎;要有一份心意把身邊的人連繫起來;並常記掛天主、思念天主。 第二個分享題目,就是由青年牧民委員梁偉才神父,介紹如何應用本會省的網站,作持續的慈幼培育。梁神父介紹了中華會省豐富的網上資源,而當中的搜尋功能,更可簡易地搜尋到相關題材的資料;會省網頁裡的慈幼網絡,可以把慈幼大家庭各單位,連繫在一起。梁神父希望我們每一位都能把慈幼會中華會省網頁,設定為瀏覽器的首頁。 隨後,副會長馮定華神父帶領大家秉承會組的特徵-作夢,為未來三年的準備期,以及聖年慶典後慈幼大家庭的未來,憧憬一番,就是初步定下三年準備期的「願景使命宣言」。一個人的夢,始終是一個夢;但多人共同所做的夢,將會成為事實。是次活動所產生的初步夢境,將會在各單位正副會長會議中作詳細討論,為未來三年預備期更具體的目標與行動,做了很好的基礎。 最後,與會者一起在聖體面前,藉著晚禱與聖體降福,把當天的夢境,完全奉獻給天主,祈求祂的祝福與收納。 Salesian Family Spiritual Day According to custom, China Province organized Salesian Family Spiritual Day in mid January every year. Leaders of Daughters of Mary of Christians, Sisters Announcers of the Lord, Salesian Cooperators, Past Pupils, Don Bosco Volunteers and Association of Mary Help of Christians, gathered to share Salesian spirituality and charism and to study the strenna of Rector Major, so that, we can walk together with other Salesian Families in the world and fulfill the mission of Don Bosco. This gathering was held on 15 January 2012 at Tang King Po School. Rector Major has decided that 2015 is the Salesian Holy Year, it is the bicentenary of the Birth of Don Bosco. He also set out the theme of the coming 3 years – i.e. to know Don Bosco, to study his preventive system and to deeply understand his spirituality. We hope the Salesian Holy Year celebration would benefit us to the greatest extent. Therefore, the main purpose of this gathering is to understand the general goal, the resources available and the action plan for the goal. Firstly, Fr. Simon Lam, Provincial of China Province explained what Salesian Holy Year was. He mentioned that the aim was to invite us to imitate Don Bosco, and sanctify our daily lives. He emphasized how we could shape ourselves after Don Bosco and allow Don Bosco to be born again through us on the earth. Fr. Simon indicated that every action should be done consciously for God and connected with God. Giving meaning to every action was referred as “the deep water” in the Gospel, “Put out into the deep” (Luke 5:4). He also gave us 3 practical hints on how to put out into the deep: i.e. to connect every action to God, to do it with a heart for unifying people around us, and to always remember and to think about God. Then, Fr. Antonio Leung shared the following thoughts with us: can use Salesian China Province online resources for our continuous formation. He introduced the rich collection of online resources on the web. Using the search function, we can easily locate the relevant resources that are available. The Salesian network of China Province website is a network to connect all the units of Salesian Family together. Fr. Antonio hoped that all of us could set www.sdb.org.hk as the front page of our internet browser. After the sharing, Fr. Andrew Fung, Vice-Provincial guided us to use Don Bosco’s trait – “dreaming” for the coming 3-year preparation and dreamt about the future of the Holy Year. The missions and visions are set out for the coming 3 years. A person’s dream is only a dream. If more people dream the same dream, it would come true. The ideas dreamed are recorded first, were listed then they would be further discussed in the meeting of each unit. This gives a basis for more tangible actions to be taken in the 3-year preparation. Finally, the Salesian family offered all their dreams to God for his blessing in the evening prayer meeting and eucharistic benediction.
