27

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I send cordial greetings to all of you participating in the plenary assembly of the Federation of Asian Bishops Conferences in Jakarta.

主内亲爱的弟兄姊妹们：

我谨向所有在雅加达参加亚洲主教团协会全体大会的成员致以诚挚的问候。

As you gather to discuss the important issues affecting the life and future of the Catholic Church in Asia, I assure you of my spiritual closeness, praying that the Holy Spirit will inspire and guide your time together.

当你们齐聚一堂，讨论那影响亚洲教会生活与未来的重要议题时，我以祈祷与你们同在，祈求圣神启发并引导你们共聚的时刻。

The theme chosen for your plenary assembly comes from the words of Jesus telling Nathanael, you will see greater things.

本届大会以耶稣对纳塔乃耳所说的话：“ 你将要看见比这更大的事”为主题。

In calling Philip and Nathanael to follow him and become his disciples, our Lord alludes to himself as the unique mediator between God and humanity.

当耶稣召叫斐理伯和纳塔乃耳跟随祂而成为门徒时，祂指出自己是天人之间唯一的中保。

As his disciples today, we know that Jesus is not only the source of our communion with God, but also with one another.

作为今日的基督徒，我们深知，耶稣不仅是我们与天主之间，也是我们彼此之间共融的根源。

Indeed, in the recently published encyclical letter Magnifica Humanitas, I wrote that Christian solidarity finds its source in the mystery of Christ and emerges from our communion in the sacraments, particularly the Eucharist.

事实上，我在最近发表的《伟大的人类》通谕中写道：基督徒团结的根源在于基督的奥迹，并从我们在圣事中的共融，尤其是在圣体圣事中涌现出来。

For this reason, I would like to encourage you to continue to promote a Eucharistic spirituality within your local churches that is a spirituality of ecclesial unity grounded in the charity that flows from the gift of our Lord in the Eucharist.

因此，我愿鼓励你们继续在各地方教会推动一种以圣体为中心的灵修生活。这是一种根基于我们的主在圣体圣事中所赐恩宠、并由爱德滋养的教会共融灵修。

In this way, it is my hope that the bonds of communion within and between the local churches will be strengthened and become an ever greater sign of God's presence in your various countries, which in turn will help you be bridge builders together throughout Asia.

借此，我期望各地方教会内部以及彼此之间的共融纽带能够不断地得以巩固，并在你们各自的国家中成为天主临在的更明显标记；同时，也帮助你们在整个亚洲成为搭建桥梁的人。

Dear friends, in commending all of you and your deliberations to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, I gladly invoke upon you the Lord's gifts of wisdom and fortitude.

亲爱的朋友们，当我将你们每一位以及大会的各项讨论托付于教会之母——荣福童贞玛利亚——的转祷时，我欣然祈求上主赐予你们智慧与刚毅的恩典。

And may the blessing of Almighty God, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit come down on you and remain with you forever. Amen.

愿全能的天主——圣父、圣子、圣神——降福你们，并常与你们同在。阿们。
