啊,奉獻生活是愛德的生活!愛德在於:耐心、仁慈、寬恕、信任、憐憫、工作、生產、不過於嚴苛、撫慰痛苦,以及勤奮。(APD56, 154)
Oh, religious life, life of charity! Patient charity, benign charity, charity that excuses, charity that believes, charity that sympathizes, charity that works, charity that produces, charity that takes away the harshness of life, charity that soothes sorrows and pains, charity that is productive (APD56, 154)
