14. 聖經上說:「上主的神臨到我身上」(依六一 1)。天主創造祂所指定成聖的人,祂也陪伴他們走聖德的道路,給予他們多種才能。在領洗時,為了他們未來的使命,聖神將特殊的恩寵傾注給他們。之後,再藉聖事、告解和聖體時常給予恩寵。
這朵小花在堂區、家庭、學校和一切環境中受到細心的照顧。她不僅順服,而且慷慨。後來,她進入聖亞納職校時,認識了修會生活。
她體弱多病,可是天主做祂所願的事。一般來說,聖德需要操行和生活基礎。首先應有本性的德性、群體的德性、家庭的德性,然後在這些德性上建立基督徒和會士的德性。
約在二十歲時,天主召喚她和一小群年輕女子一起準備成為聖保祿孝女會修女。因健康欠佳,入會時曾懷疑自己是否能繼續。的確,在剛入會時,就顯示出她身體的軟弱與疾病。可是天主在這方面也干預,賜以聖寵、毅力和明智,使她活到七十歲,並且完成了許多不容易的事,一生不斷地工作,既軟弱又堅強地善盡職責。
15. 聖保祿孝女會的初期訓練是很艱苦的,因為是一項新的使命。當時是由基愛沙神父負責訓練,戴格蘭修女因此心胸豁達,願為人靈工作並開始喜愛應用科技工具。她也是阿爾巴區聖高邁及聖達勉堂區優秀的傳道老師。因此在基督徒的德性中加上了會士的德性。
16. 由於她善良、謙和的榜樣,受人敬愛,受託照顧團體,一直到死。現在我們也相信她在天上保佑我們。
她以榜樣和祈禱作為管理團體不可取代的方法。她的命令都是溫和的,許多修女可為此作證。這是一種新的聖召和使徒工作,她始終在前方領導、支持所有的修女。在不同的環境和困難中,她常是齒輪上的潤滑油。有一天,她在都林說:「從今天起,我會在前方領導修女、鼓勵她們,也預防危險,以及如何在宣傳中自我介紹並獲得效果。」
17. 會憲的準備、批准、教堂、新會院、聖召不斷增加、修會的管理等,在一個新的修會是有點特殊的。但她克服一切,尤其是靠朝拜聖體來克服。修會內部及外在的歷史,她的生平、德性,大家都熟悉,聖保祿孝女會修女都很認識她。每一年是新的一頁,有益又教人興奮的一頁。我不知道聖保祿孝女會的人數,但我在一九六三年視察會院時,體會到修女們多麼認識修會的使徒精神。
18. 前天,監護人拉勞納樞機向我們的一位神父說:「我一生所見過的人中,戴格蘭總會長是最明智的一
位」。
不過,也應該加上她曾有過多位精明的助手,以及她派遣在海外創設會院的人,你們已熟悉此事。有時看來好像選擇了不當的人選,但事實證明是天主聖神的指引。
19. 大家都知道她協助所有的開創工作,一直到最後成立的諸宗徒之后修女會。在集會時,她給修女許多勸導,甚至指點哪些款式可作為會衣。
20. 她不僅是會長,更是修會之母。你們會有其他的會長,即那些盡職且追隨戴格蘭修女的人;但她們不是會母。為此,你們要學習她的精神,記得她的榜樣,誦讀她所寫的東西,特別是實踐她的勸言、指示和演講。她會在適當的時機,以合宜的方式解釋,因此所有的修女很容易接受她的建議。這一切你們都要放在心中。
21. 她以許多的犧牲指出了途徑,開拓了看似十分冒險和困難的步伐。她身體很弱,可是精神很強,堅毅地服從並具犧牲的精神。天主常常獎賞她的德性。為此你們要追隨她的芳蹤,即她的會士精神和使徒精神。
她常常說要帶給人靈一切好處,帶給世界光明。她忠信地實行三種敬禮:對耶穌導師、諸宗徒之后及聖保祿宗徒。啊!現在你們應該追隨她所開展的道路,那是一條導向成全的路,是本修會繼續發展的道路。
最後,我強調需要妥善選擇聖召,準備他們作使徒工作;務必要妥善準備,因為這是保祿修會生活的特色和特徵。你們跟隨吧!
