國際在俗道明會青年團宗旨聲明

我們是一項道明會運動，主要由在俗道明會年輕男女會友所組成。我們尋求在道明之家內活出使命，我們的成員來自不同階層，但在共識中生活、在道明會生命棟樑之下，我們嚐試活出以耶穌基督為中心、祈禱、研讀、團體生活及宣道組成我們生活的基石。經由這共通關係，我們帶給天主教會及道明會一個新鮮，有活力及強力臨在，同時我們在它們的歷史中，共享其傳統和合法性。

We are a Dominican Movement, consisting of groups composed mainly of young lay men & omen. We strive to live in Mission within  the Dominican Family. Diverse in our membership, yet united in our common appreciation of the pillars of  Dominican life,  we try to  live lives centered in Jesus Christ. Prayer, Study, Community and Preaching make up the cornerstones of our lives. Through this mutual relationship we bring to the  Church and the Order a fresh, spirited and vital presence, while at the same share in his history, sense of tradition, and legacy.

在俗道明會青年團提供各種管道，以使世界各國及各大洲的年輕會友得以碰觸主耶穌，並活出福音生活，當我們試圖辨明這一在我們生活中的聖神運動時，在聖道明精神薰陶之下，我們期待一個充滿喜樂和希望的前景。

From many nations,  in every  continent around the world, the Dominican Youth Movement offers a different avenue for young adults to encounter and live the gospel life. In the spirit of St.  Dominic we look to the future filled with a sense of joy and hope as we attempt to discern the movementof the  spirit within  our lives.Responding  to a desire  to live more fully the message of Jesus, each of us

responds  by utilizing  all  available options and opportunities to preach the Word.  Hospitality,  mercy  and friendship characterize our groups. Our existence and Aual values define our preaching. As we minister to one another,  and from the  abundance of our hearts, we are empowered to preach to all aegments of society. Recognizing the diversity within the Movement, we rely upon the Spirit and our common faith in Christ to lead us toward creating a just world, incarnated in faith, hope and love.

為了回應渴求更完全活在耶穌的好消息當中，每一在俗道明會青年團團員藉著善用一切有價值的事物及機會，向普世眾生宣道，本團向以熱情款待，仁慈待人及友愛眾生為特色，我們的存在及生存價值說明了會友宣道的意義，當我們心靈碩果滿溢，彼此互相服事時，我們正充滿神力向社會各角落宣報福音，雖然我們承認本團中有許多歧異因素，然而我們依靠聖神指引，並且共同信靠耶穌基督，必將引導我們走向開拓一個正義的世界，一個信仰，希望及愛心落實的世界。
