检阅典礼 2012 Acies

『我的母皇，我的母亲，我属于你，我所有的一切都属于你！』

全世界的圣母军，每年一次，在三月二十五日，或最靠近的前后星期天，都会举行【检阅典礼】，如同军队般的排好战阵，向圣母宣读以上的奉献词，以示效忠，并从那里领受神力和祝福。

今天（18-3-2012），吉隆坡区域团假圣若望主教座堂，从下午一时至四时，举办了这项年度的典礼。大约八百名来自芙蓉，文丁，巴生，甲洞，瓜雪，八打灵和吉隆坡地区的各语言组圣母军，参加了这隆重的检阅礼。

首牧巴吉安总主教带领了军友，两位两位的列队，在圣母污染原罪态像前，手按军旗，向圣母宣读奉献词。出席的还有区域团指导神师雷睿明神父，林金狮蒙席及黄鏓颖神父。

巴吉安总主教在训诲中，提到今年四旬期的主题『聆听那个声音！』，圣母就是最好的榜样了。圣母军每次被派遣两位两位的出外拜访，不带物资，不分派救济品，但却带去比这些更好的礼物，那就是怜悯，关怀及聆听之心。

他透露，目前有大约二十万来自东马沙巴及砂劳越的天主教徒，他们在学院，工厂及商店工作。他们远离家乡，来到陌生的市镇居住，需要他人的关怀及接纳，就如来自其他国家的移民一样。他希望圣母军能够在这些牧灵工作领域里，投入参与。

检阅典礼最后以圣体降福结束。

总主教：『我的母皇，我的母亲，我属于你，我所有的一切都属于你！』
Archbishop Murphy Pakiam: " I am all yours, My Queen， My Mother, and all that I have is yours"

Legion of Mary worldwide would hold its annual Acies on March 25 or a Sunday closest thereto. Acies is a Latin word means an army ranged in a battle array.

The Legionaries as a body assemble to renew their fealty to Mary, Queen of the Legion, and from her to receive strength and blessing for yet another year's battle with the forces of evil.

Today, The Kuala Lumpur Regia held its Acies at the St. John's Cathedral from 1:00pm to 4:00 pm. About 800 legionaries from Klang, Seremban, Kajang, Kuala Selangor, PJ and KL area attended this annual function.

Head shepherd Archbishop Murphy Pakiam led Regia Spiritual Director Fr. Raymond Pereira, Monsignor Daniel Lim and legionaries, two by two with hands holding to the Vexillum, read out loudly : "I am all yours, my Queen, my Mother, and all that I have is yours."

In his address before renewing of promise, Archbishop highlighted there are about 200,000 Catholics from East Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak) residing in West Malaysia. Many left their remote home villages for towns and cites to find better living. They are strangers longing for care and acceptance from the local communities. He hoped legionaries will engage themselves in this particular pastoral care.

The function ended with a blessing of the Sacrament.
