修會永遠不該降格、貶低自己成工商業；而應常保持人神之間的福傳層面，以牧民精神及最迅速、最有成效的方法來做事。 The Congregation must never lower itself to the level of an industry, of a trade; but always remain at the human-divine level of the apostolate, exercised with the fastest and most fruitful means, in a pastoral spirit (CISP, pp. 808-809).
感謝梵蒂岡第二屆大公會議的召開，教會對於自己和其創立者耶稣基督委託的使命有了更深的認識：就如親身感受到耶穌基督一樣。（換句話說，教會的自身與使命就是基督的奧體） Thanks to the Second Vatican Council, the Church has better known herself and the mission entrusted to her by the Founder Jesus Christ: she felt Jesus Christ himself (CISP, p.338).
修會與教區聖職人員之間在聖召方面的合作非常重要，也有利於教區聖職人員和修會聖職人員之間的團結及合作。 The union of work between religious institutes and diocesan clergy for vocations is of great importance and also favours the union of collaboration, then, between the diocesan clergy and the religious clergy (AP 1962, p. 112).
早期，每次開完大公會議之後，教父們就感到更加團結、更有力量，更確信自己是活躍和有負責感的成員；視野擴展，關切普世全人類的情況。 After the Council, the Fathers felt more united and stronger, more persuaded to be alive, active, responsible members; the horizon widened over all humanity (CISP, p. 338).
毅力，意味著要有恆心，不要一遇到困難就灰心喪志，不要因為無人來，就立即放棄；就算只有兩三個人來都要歡迎。牧羊女知道自己身負特殊職務。如果其他人不做，她就做；如果他們不來，她就去找他們。 Fortitude. It means constancy, not to be discouraged at the first difficulties and not to stop immediately because people don’t come; welcome even two or three ... The shepherdess knows she has a special office. If the others don’t do, she does; if they do not come, go to look for them (PrP VII, […]
每當以自己做的事情為榮時，就是破壞團體的生活。團體生活是要集合眾人的力量、智慧、才能、建議。 When there is pride to do it oneself, then it is a way doing that cancels common life. Common life is to put together resources, intelligence, ability, advice (FSP59, p. 216).
