特朗普发表诸圣节总统文告：称将始终捍卫美国人公开表达信仰的自由
华盛顿 — 白宫11月1日发布特朗普总统的诸圣节（All Saints' Day）总统文告。特朗普在文告中与全美基督徒一道，纪念历代以非凡忠诚的一生揭示人类所能向往的至善与大爱的男男女女，并表示他将始终捍卫美国人公开表达信仰的自由。诸圣节在11月1日，是基督教纪念所有圣徒的节日。
文告说，圣徒的名字早已织入美国的土地：旧金山（San Francisco）以 Saint Francis of Assisi 命名，San Antonio 以 Saint Anthony of Padua 命名，St. Louis 以一位法国圣徒国王命名，St. Paul 以伟大的使徒命名；从 Santa Monica 到 St. Augustine，圣徒迎接美国人出现在全国各地的地图与路牌上。圣徒也活在美国人熟知与信任的机构里：孩子重病时，家庭求助于 St. Jude Children's Research Hospital；年轻人在 Saint John's University、Saint Louis University、Saint Bonaventure University 等许多以圣徒命名的大学求学；每年3月，数百万美国人以游行、音乐和穿着绿色庆祝 Saint Patrick's Day。
文告还提到一段体育掌故：1966年11月1日，New Orleans 获得美国国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）球队资格，日期并非偶然，那一天正是诸圣节；当地一位商人倡议以「Saints」为队名，灵感来自该市著名的爵士名曲《When the Saints Go Marching In》。文告说，从东海岸到西海岸，这些名字不断提醒美国人：一个伟大的文明需要的不仅是物质成功，还需要善的榜样，需要不仅有力量与成就、更有怜悯、牺牲、谦卑与爱的英雄。
特朗普在文告中特别纪念四位圣徒：Saint Junípero Serra 把基督教信仰带遍加州的传教站；Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton 帮助在美国建立天主教教育；Saint Katharine Drexel 献出财产与一生，为贫困与弱势社区办学和服务；Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini 创办学校、孤儿院与医院，把基督教慈善付诸行动，把耶稣的希望带给最需要的人。文告说，还有无数名字未被历史记录的圣徒，包括父母、教师、护士、工人、传教士与邻居，在平凡生活中静静展现了圣洁的样子。
文告说，诸圣节宣告了基督教信仰核心的一个真理：死亡没有最终的话语权；基督徒相信，借着耶稣基督的死与复活，坟墓已被征服，永生向所有相信他的人敞开，圣徒正是这一应许的见证人。特朗普在文告结尾说：「在诸圣节这一天，梅拉尼娅和我向所有纪念这个神圣节日的人致以最温暖的问候。我将始终捍卫美国人公开表达信仰、而不必恐惧的自由。」他祝愿圣徒的生平更新美国人对国家精神传承的感恩，增强彼此相爱、互相服务的决心，并激励人们以信仰、勇气与仁爱生活。

Trump Issues All Saints' Day Presidential Message: He Will Always Defend Americans' Freedom to Express Their Faith Openly
WASHINGTON — The White House on November 1 released President Donald J. Trump's Presidential Message on All Saints' Day. In the message, Trump joined Christians across the nation in honoring the men and women through the centuries whose extraordinary lives of faithfulness reveal the great goodness and love to which human beings can aspire, and said he will always defend the freedom of Americans to express their faith openly and without fear. All Saints' Day falls on November 1 and is the Christian feast honoring all the saints.
The message said the names of saints are interwoven throughout the American landscape: San Francisco, California, was named for Saint Francis of Assisi; San Antonio, Texas, for Saint Anthony of Padua; St. Louis, Missouri, for a saintly king of France; and St. Paul, Minnesota, for the great Apostle. From Santa Monica, California, to St. Augustine, Florida, saints greet Americans on maps and road signs across the country. Saints are just as present in trusted institutions, the message said: families turn to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital when a child is gravely ill, young Americans study at Saint John's University, Saint Louis University, Saint Bonaventure University and many other colleges and universities named for saints, and every March millions of Americans celebrate Saint Patrick's Day with parades, music and the wearing of green.
The message also recalled a piece of sports history: when New Orleans received its National Football League franchise on November 1, 1966, the date was no accident — it was All Saints' Day. A local businessman championed the name 'Saints,' inspired by the city's celebrated jazz anthem, 'When the Saints Go Marching In.' From sea to shining sea, the message said, these names are a constant reminder that a great civilization needs more than material success: it needs examples of goodness, and heroes not only of strength and achievement but also of mercy, sacrifice, humility and love.
Trump honored four saints in particular: Saint Junípero Serra, who carried the Christian faith through the missions of California; Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, who helped build Catholic education in America; Saint Katharine Drexel, who devoted her fortune and her life to educating and serving poor and impoverished communities; and Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, who established schools, orphanages and hospitals, putting Christian charity into action and bringing the hope of Jesus to those most in need. Countless other saints — parents, teachers, nurses, workers, missionaries and neighbors whose names history never recorded — quietly showed what holiness can look like in ordinary life, the message said.
All Saints' Day proclaims a truth at the heart of the Christian faith, the message said: death does not have the final word, and Christians believe that through the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the grave has been conquered and eternal life has been opened to all who believe in Him. 'On this All Saints' Day, Melania and I offer our warmest greetings to all who observe this holy feast. I will always defend the freedom of Americans to express their faith openly and without fear,' Trump said in closing, wishing that the lives of the saints would renew gratitude for the nation's spiritual inheritance, strengthen the resolve to love and serve one another, and inspire Americans to live with the faith, courage and charity that make a people — and a nation — forever great.
