【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2015 年 5 月 14 日羅馬慈幼總部訊】 ─ 本年度聖母進教之佑九日敬禮（5月15至23日），與五旬節重疊，彷彿是要強調，聖母進教之佑從起初，當她與宗徒一起在晚餐廳熱切祈禱，等待聖神降臨時，便成了教會之母，以及信友之助佑。

瑪利亞進教之佑善會神修策勵者
即使現在，瑪利亞仍是生活的，並願意在靈性疲乏枯竭的世界中，帶領我們邁向救
恩。瑪利亞邀請我們祈禱，懇求聖神轉化我們，並以祂信德與望德的力量充滿我們。在這充滿仇恨、暴力，且對基督徒的迫害日益加劇的世代，聖神使我們成為福音勇敢的使徒。華道角祭台後的大型畫像，鮑思高願意把聖母描繪成教會及宗徒之助佑，而眾宗徒也可清楚看到，他們各自拿著為主殉道的刑具。
慈幼會一眾主教將到訪鮑思高神父的地方（都靈，5月21至25日），而第七屆聖母進教之佑國際大會（8月6至9日在都靈鮑思高崗舉行，主題為「從瑪利亞的家到我們的家」）的籌備工作正進行得如火如荼，我們特地透過這九日敬禮，把這兩件盛事奉獻給聖母。
在這盛事之中，慈幼大家庭也願意表達出來，他們接納並宣揚天主對整個大家庭的計劃，把這事業交託在聖母進教之佑及家庭之助佑強而有力的轉禱。（有關大會的資訊及參與方法，請電郵至congresso@admadonbosco.org 查詢。）
「家庭福音」是天主愛的喜訊，必需向那些以夫婦的共融，接納天主所賞賜子女，來活出家庭基本人性的個人經驗的人們宣揚。教會有關婚姻的訓導，必須以有效的方式表達出來，直指人心，按天主的計劃轉化他們。
在鮑思高誕生二百周年之際，慈幼大家庭都受著人類學、牧民及教育上的挑戰，而普世教會及教宗方濟各都對此予以重視。這急需從事青年牧職及家庭牧職的人士來進行對話，正如教宗在第49屆社會傳播節（下主日，5月17日）文告中所要求的：通傳給家庭 ─ 與愛的恩賜相遇的有利環境。
Novena for the Feast of Mary Help of Christians 2015
(ANS - RMG –Roma, 14 May 2015) – The Novena for the feast of Mary Help of Christians this year (15 -23 May) coincides with that in preparation for Pentecost, as if to emphasize that Mary Help of Christians was the Mother of the Church and Help of Christians from the very beginning, when she stayed in the Upper Room with the Apostles in intense ardent prayer awaiting the Holy Spirit.
Fr Pierluigi Cameroni, SDB
Spiritual Animator ADMA
Even today Mary is alive and wants to lead us to salvation, in a world where people are restless in soul and weak in spirit. Mary invites us to pray, asking the Holy Spirit to transform us and fill us with strength of faith and hope. In a world marked by hatred and violence and increasing persecution against Christians, the Spirit makes us courageous apostles of the Gospel. In the great altarpiece of Valdocco Don Bosco wanted Mary depicted as Help of the Church and of the Apostles who, significantly, are pictured each holding the instrument of his martyrdom.
In this novena we entrust to Mary in a special way the visit of the Salesian Bishops to the places of Don Bosco (Turin, 21-25 May); and the preparation for the Seventh International Congress of Mary Help of Christians (Turin-Colle Don Bosco, August 6 to 9) on the theme: "From the house of Mary to our homes."
In this event the Salesian Family also wants to express its commitment to accepting and promoting the plan of God for the family, entrusting that cause to the powerful intercession of Mary Help of Christians and Help of the Family. (For information and registration for the Congress, write to congresso@admadonbosco.org).
The "Gospel of the family" is the good news of God's love that must be proclaimed to those who live this fundamental human personal experience of family as a couple in communion open to the gift of children. The Church's teaching on marriage must be presented in an effective manner that touches people’s hearts and transforms them in accordance with God’s plan.
During the year of the bicentenary of the birth of Don Bosco, the Salesian Family is involved in this anthropological, pastoral and educative challenge to which the universal Church and Pope Francis are devoting special attention. It captures the urgent need for dialogue between youth ministry and family ministry, as requested by the Holy Father in his message for the 49th World Day of Social Communications (next Sunday 17 May): Communicating the Family: A Privileged Place of Encounter with the Gift of Love.
