瑪利亞，教會之母，我的慈母，妳是在天主聖三內，求妳教我藉著禮儀和聖事，與天主聖三日益密切地生活在一起，好使我的整個生命，成為一遍聖三光榮經。 Monthly intention of May O Mary, Mother of the Church and my Mother, you who are in the divine Trinity, teach me to live, through the liturgy and the sacraments, in ever more intimate communion with the three divine Persons, so that my whole life may be a «glory tothe Father, to the Son […]
瑪利亞從天上激發聖召、陪伴聖召，並保護所有的使徒工作，今日以一種特殊的方式保護這份有特別需要的出版使徒工作。她安慰、鼓勵和支持使徒們的工作。 Mary from heaven inspires vocations, from there she accompanies vocations, and from there she protects all the apostolates, and today in a particular way the one which is so necessary, the publishing apostolate. Besides, she consoles, encourages and supports the apostles in their work (RSP, p. 247).
我們每個人非常容易記得耶穌在十字架上對若望講的話：「這是你的母親……。」讓我們想一想，瑪利亞接受了這個普世母親的職務，她現在要奉獻、給予、傳遞超性的生命給我們，她要給予和傳授耶穌給我們。 Each one of us can easily remember the words that Jesus from the cross said to John: «Here is your mother»... We consider Mary who, accepting this office of universal mother, now wants to offer, give, and communicate the supernatural life. She wants to give, communicate Jesus to us (FSP58, p. 135).
瑪利亞，我們需要妳塑造我們的心，就像妳塑造了妳的兒子——無玷羔羊耶穌的心一樣……塑造我們的心，使它變得慷慨，變得虔誠，變得堅強，使它被這兩種愛激發成長，即對天主的敬愛和對近人的憐愛。 We need you, Mary, to form our hearts, as you formed the heart of the immaculate Lamb Jesus, your Son... Form our heart, that it may be generous, that it may be pious, and that it may be strong, that it may be inflamed with two loves: charity towards God and charity towards our […]
瑪利亞不只是十二宗徒那樣的宗徒。她是名符其實的宗徒，有其更深刻的意義，因為是她給了我們使徒耶穌，這是最崇高的聖召！而在耶穌身上有涵蓋一切的使徒工作。 Mary was not an apostle in the sense of the other Twelve, but she was an apostle in a higher sense. She was an apostle in that she gave us the apostle Jesus, in whom all the apostolates are comprised, the greatest vocation! (AP 1958/2, p. 244).
主耶穌把許多美麗、慷慨和忠誠的人帶到保祿家庭。在他們當中，我們想起那位很快就被移植到天堂的第一朵花：Vigolungo Maggiorino（保祿會小修士馬喬理諾），他對出版善書的使徒工作有清晰的遠見。你們現在閱讀他的生命小史吧！向他祈禱，使人認識他，仿效他的美德。 The Lord has led many beautiful, generous and faithful souls to the Pauline Family. Among them we remember the first flower that was very soon transplanted into heaven: Vigolungo Maggiorino... he had a clear vision of the apostolate of the good press. Now: read his little life, pray to him, spread knowledge about […]
愛德首先呈現於思想，然後擴及情感與言行，使你們成為樂於助人、心地善良、有同理心又寬大為懷的人；而不是導致在團體中難以接納他人。 Charity is first in thoughts, then in feelings, words and actions. Be helpful, people of great goodness, people who sympathize, who understand; not people who ometimes make it so difficult to bear one another in community (FSP-SdC, p. 87).
瑪利亞有一顆與耶穌相似的心，她分享祂的意願。她把耶穌的意願成為她自己的。你們要與耶穌、與教會有密切的關係。你們必須明瞭教宗、主教、神父、在教會服務的人、傳教士和所有獻身於使徒工作者的願望。 Mary had a heart similar to that of Jesus to share his desires. She made them all her own. Enter into intimacy with Jesus and intimacy with the Church... You must understand the desires of the Pope, the Bishops, the Priests, the Ministers of God, the Missionaries, all the souls who give themselves to […]
「領導者展現慈母般的溫柔和體貼，而部屬有子女般的順服，這樣才能凝聚力量，帶領大家同心一德。」這就是團體相處平安的祕訣，讓人感覺像個有活力的身體，所有成員在其中盡忠職守。 «Let her who commands show a motherly and sweet solicitude and she who is subject, show filial docility, to join forces and guide everyone to the common good». This is the secret of peace in a community and the secret to feel like an active body, in which all members play their part (FSP-SdC, […]
今天早上，我已經把你們所有的願望、你們的需求、你們每一個人都放入聖爵內。我們之間的精神、意願、目標必須團結一致。 This morning I have already placed in the chalice all your desires, your needs, your souls. Between us there must be a spiritual union of intent and purpose (APD47, 2).
天主住在團體中的記號就是團結、合一與仁愛，因為天主就是愛。 The sign that God dwells in the community is unity, charity, because God is charity: «Deus caritas est» (AP 1958/2, p.140).
有人從福音得到滋養，愛好默想，閱讀大量的靈修書籍；如此，他們牢記這些原則，並習以為常在心靈深處感受它們。 There are people who nourish themselves on the Gospel, love meditation, and make a lot of spiritual readings; in such a way that they remember these principles, feel them in their spirit and constitute the core of their soul, almost a second nature... (ACV, p. 53).
牧靈的心態就是明瞭一個人靈的價值，明瞭這個人靈能否成為天主的子女意味著什麼，也就是說，這人靈能否活在恩寵中……知道人靈要想得救，必須接枝在耶穌基督身上。 Pastoral mentality means knowing the value of a soul, what it means for that soul to be a child of God or not to be a child of God, that is, not to live in grace... Know that souls must graft themselves into Jesus Christ in order to be saved (FSP61*, pp. 345-346).
明達的心智像一盞高高掛起的燈，照亮天父家中所有的人；一顆充滿聖寵的心就像福音的酵母放入麵團中一樣，能穿透人心並激勵心靈。 A well-enlightened mind lights up like a lantern placed high to shine on all who are in the house of the Father; a heart full of grace penetrates and ferments all hearts, like the evangelical leaven put into a measure of flour (CISP, p. 19).
我們彼此是手足，要互相造就，一起祈禱，在功利主義的思維中互相安慰；我們都要感謝和讚美天主，我們都要仰望導師、道路、真理和生命的耶穌，我們的母后和聖保祿宗徒。 We are all brothers, we must edify one another, pray together, comfort ourselves in the thought of the prize; all give thanks and praise to God, all together contemplate Jesus Master, Way and Truth and Life, our Mother and Queen, St. Paul the Apostle (CISP, p. 1015).
我們的生活是入世的；我們必須在社會上實行使徒工作並聖化各種關係。 Our life unfolds mostly in society; and it is in society that we must exercise the apostolate and sanctify relationships (ACV, p. 138).
瑪利亞是宗徒，是諸宗徒之后，是每項使徒工作的典範，是所有使徒美德的激發者。願天堂向她歌頌！願大地詠唱！藉著她、偕同她並在她內，願所有的讚美都歸於天主聖三。 Mary is therefore: the Apostle, the Queen of Apostles, the exemplary one in every apostolate, the inspirer of all apostolic virtues. Let heaven sing to her! Let the earth sing! And let all praise go up to the Most Holy Trinity for her and with her and in her (CISP, p. 38).
我們要記得，耶穌曾四次向天父請求「願眾人合而為一」；使徒們彼此合為一體，我指的是所有母親與天上之母聯合在一起；然後，所有信徒相信宗徒們的宣講。 Let us remember that Jesus asked the heavenly Father four times: «Ut unum sint», that the apostles may be one among themselves, and I want to say the mothers may be one with the Mother; and then the faithful who would have believed the apostles’ preaching: «Ut unum sint» (AAP60, 208).
瑪利亞與耶穌住在家裡。她分享耶穌所有的渴望、目標、意願及計畫。你們要進入與至聖聖體的密切關係中，你們要比別人更瞭解天上導師內心的奧祕。 Mary lived in the house with Jesus. She shared in all the desires, aims, intentions and plans of Jesus. By entering into intimacy with the Sacred Host you must, more than others understand the secrets of the Divine Master’s heart (APD47,89).
如果今年你要編寫一些關於瑪利亞的書，那麼請你想一想，你所排的每個鉛字、印刷機的運轉、出版書的每個工作和行銷，都是獻給瑪利亞的敬禮，是實行瑪利亞的福傳工作。 If during the course of the year you have to compose some book about Mary, then think that every typeface you set, every rolling of the printing machine, every work of paperbacks and propaganda, is a homage to offer to Mary: it is to carry out the Marian apostolate (RSP, p. 434).
在瑪利亞的保護之下學習，並不時地舉目仰望瑪利亞；在瑪利亞的保護之下從事使徒工作，且常常呼求她的名字。獻給瑪利亞的慈善與內修事工：她是我們的庇蔭，整天都在她的保護之下。 The studies under Mary’s protection: and raise our gaze to Mary from time to time; the apostolate under Mary’s protection: and repeat from time to time ejaculations to her name. The work of piety and the interior work offered to Mary: the whole day «under your protection we take refuge» (RSP, p. 434).
聖保祿是偉大的福音詮釋者和福傳者。他由天上導師的直接啟示理解福音，他是萬民的導師。繼耶穌基督之後，救恩的真理開始廣傳，像一道河流，源源不絕地奔向大海，支流匯入，流域漸漸擴大，並為所及之處帶來效益和聖德。 Saint Paul was the greatest interpreter and preacher of the Gospel. He understood it in the revelation of the Divine Master, he was Doctor and Master of nations. After Jesus Christ the truth that saves began to spread and flow as a river that is always fed by the source and that in its […]
我們要感謝你們的會祖，可親可敬的雅各‧雅培理神父，他建立了你們這個大家庭。因基督之名，我們感謝他，祝福他。他謙遜、寡言、孜孜不倦、總是保持警醒、收斂心神、奔波在祈禱與工作之間，時常留意「時代的徵兆」。——教宗保祿六世 We owe to your founder, to the dear and venerated Fr. James Alberione, the creation of your monumental Institute. In the name of Christ, we thank him and bless him. Here he is humble, silent, tireless, always vigilant, always recollected in his thoughts, running from prayer to work, always intent on scrutinizing the «signs […]
我們要默觀瑪利亞的使徒工作；我們要向她祈求恩典，以我們能力可及的方式來做她的使徒工作：我們必須祈求這樣的恩典，以明智、慷慨和超性的精神來從事使徒工作：即為了天主、為了人靈、為了永生而做。 We have to contemplate Mary’s apostolate; we have to ask her for the grace that we too may do her apostolate in the way we can: we must ask the grace to do it with good intelligence and generous dedication and with a supernatural spirit... and that is for God, for souls, for eternity […]
