“到宗徒门前” Ad Limina 访问：马来西亚、新加坡与汶莱主教与教宗利奥十四世的意义深远会晤
2026 年 5 月 18 日至 23 日，来自马来西亚、新加坡和文莱的主教们进行了 Ad Limina 访问，并在罗马觐见了教宗良十四世。这次访问不仅是一项正式行程，更在天主教会的生活中具有深刻的意义。
“Ad Limina Apostolorum”一词源自拉丁文，意为“到宗徒门前”。在此访问中，主教们会前往圣伯多禄与圣保禄的坟墓朝圣，并与教宗会面，分享各自国家教会的发展、挑战与希望。
对于马来西亚、新加坡与文莱地区而言，这次会晤无疑是一个特别的时刻。尽管三国在文化、语言与社会背景上各有不同，但教会在服务、福传与关怀人民的使命上，始终怀有同样的精神。
在瞬息万变的世界氛围中，教会也面对各种挑战，例如培育青年、巩固家庭、推动圣召，以及向社会传递希望的讯息。这样的访问让主教们能够直接向教宗分享东南亚地区所面对的真实处境。
与教宗利奥十四世的会面，也象征着地方教会与普世教会之间的合一。它提醒信友们，即使身处远离罗马的地区，每一个团体仍然是普世天主教大家庭的一部分。
这次从 2026 年 5 月 18 日至 23 日的访问，也让主教们有机会呈交有关牧灵生活、教会事工以及教友发展等方面的报告。同时，这也是一个更新服务精神、加强地方教会与普世教会联系的时刻。
对于马来西亚、新加坡与汶莱的信友而言，这次访问也是一个继续为主教们祈祷的契机，祈求他们在智慧、坚毅与服务精神的引领下牧养教会。愿这次会晤的成果带来希望、更新与力量，使教会更贴近人民的生活。
确实，Ad Limina 访问不仅是一趟前往罗马的官方旅程，更是一段信仰之旅，把来自马来西亚、新加坡与文莱朝圣者的心声带到教宗与普世教会面前。

Ad Limina's Visit: Meaningful Meeting of the Bishops of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei With Pope Leo XIV
On 18 to 23 May 2026, the bishops from Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei conducted the Ad Limina visit and had the opportunity to meet Pope Leo XIV in Rome. This visit was not just an official visit, but had a profound meaning in the life of the Catholic Church.
The term Ad Limina Apostolorum comes from a Latin meaning “to the threshold of the apostles”. In this visit, the bishops will visit the tombs of Saints Peter and Saint Paul and meet with the pope to share the Church's developments, challenges and hopes in their respective countries.
For the regions of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, this meeting will certainly be a special moment. Although the three countries have different cultural, language and society backgrounds, the Church still shares the same spirit in service, gospel preaching and people's lives.
In an ever-changing world atmosphere, the Church also faces various challenges such as the need to mentor young people, strengthen families, encourage the call of faith, and bring a message of hope to the community. Visits like these allow bishops to speak directly with the pope about the realities facing in the Southeast Asian region.
The meeting with Pope Leo XIV is also a sign of unity between the local Church and the universal Church. It reminds the congregation that despite being far from the center of the Church in Rome, every community remains a part of the large family of the Catholic Church around the world.
The visit, which lasts from May 18 to 23, 2026, will also be an opportunity for bishops to present reports on pastoral life, Church ministry and the development of the people in their respective dioceses. At the same time, it becomes a time to renew the spirit of service and strengthen the relationship between the local Church and the global Church center.
For people in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, this visit can be seen as an opportunity to continue praying for the bishops to be led with wisdom, fortitude and a spirit of service. May the outcome of this meeting bring hope, renewal and a renewed spirit to continue serving the people and build a Church that is getting closer to the community.
Indeed, the visit of Ad Limina was not just an official trip to Rome, but also a journey of faith, bringing the voices of pilgrims from Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei to be shared with the pope and the universal Church.
