亞洲和非洲深深觸動了他。人越開放自己,對於那些窮人——少了耶穌基督天賜恩寵的人——的需要,感受就越多、越深刻。當人進入與主的親密關係時,這種感覺會更加強烈。
Asia and Africa struck him the most. The more did man get rid of himself, the more deeply and widely he feels the needs of the poor who do not possess the heavenly gifts brought from heaven to men through Jesus Christ. And this feeling is most alive when one enters into intimacy with the Lord (AD,120).
