耶穌導師，求祢聖化我的理智，加強我的信德。耶穌，祢是教會的導師，求祢引領眾人到祢的學校。耶穌導師，求祢從錯謬與虛榮的幻想、及永遠的幽暗中救援我們。 Jesus Master, sanctify my mind and increase my faith. Jesus, teacher in the Church, draw everyone to your school. Jesus Master, free me from error, from vain thoughts and from eternal darkness (Prayers of the PF).
要心甘情願地與姊妹們在一起，就算是那些欠缺親和力的人，甚至是那些讓妳不開心的人。不只是頭腦要有善良的念頭，而且還要有善良的意志、善良的言詞。全部要盡善盡美。 Be of good will to your sisters even with the less sociable ones, even with those that make you feel bad. Not only you think well, but desire good, speak well, and do good when you can (APD47, 528).
靈魂得以聖化，仰賴我們在天主內的轉變。每天以道路、真理和生命的耶穌基督，來滋養我們自己，透過耶穌基督這食糧「與衪成為一神」。（參格前六17） The sanctifying action of the soul lies in our transformation into God, «so that man might become God» through the food Jesus Christ: nourishing ourselves every day with Jesus Christ, way, truth, life (DF, 11).
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 […]
你們的使命，與耶穌善牧拯救迷途羔羊的使命相同。你們是教會的一分子；不是死氣沉沉的，而是活潑的、在行動中的成員，與耶穌基督密切相連。 Yours is the same mission of Jesus Christ the Good Shepherd who came to save the lost sheep. You are inserted into the Church, united to Jesus Christ, you are living and working members (PrP VIII, p. 234).
你們要愛瑪利亞，因為她是我們的大恩人。我們回顧過去：擁有的一切皆是透過她的手而得到。我們展望未來：所冀望的一切，也是透過瑪利亞，從她手中接獲。讓我們愛這位母親並向她祈求。 Love Mary because she is our great benefactress. Let’s turn back: what we have came to us through her hands. And then let us look forward: all that we hope through Mary, we will receive from her hands. Let us love her, this Mother, and let us pray to her (RSP, p. 442).
我們得到的恩典越多，謙遜就越有價值。祂不希望我們拒絕這些禮物，但希望我們把它們看作是天主的，而非我們的。聖召、智慧的恩賜、渴求美好事物……全都是天主的。天主尋找那些知道如何接受祂恩賜的人。 Humility is all the more precious, the more we have, the more gifts we will have. He doesn’t want us to refuse the gifts, but he wants us to consider them God’s, not ours. The vocation, the gifts of intelligence, the desires for good, everything belongs to God ... The Lord goes in search […]
合作，不是被迫服從，而是維持多元不同的想法，甚至是相反於他人拋出、說出或評斷的意見。總之，我們必須合作。在那一方面呢？先是理智，然後是心，接著是外在的行動。 Collaboration. Not a forced obedience, continuing to keep thoughts, perhaps contrary, the judgments contrary to what is determined and given and said. So, we have to cooperate. In what way? With the mind and then with the heart and then with external activity (APD58, 281).
培養基督徒的心態，才能成為真正的宗徒。形塑好的態度，給予人們能夠明瞭的事物；不要只看收到的奉獻金，而以給予基督的真理為目標，就像耶穌來世界上給予真理一樣。 Whoever forms the Christian mentality is truly an apostle. To form mentality, giving what people can understand, not only aiming at the offering, but aiming at giving Christian truths, as Jesus came into the world to give the truth (FSP58, p.345).
一顆善良的心知道如何獻出自己。要給予什麼呢？所有的一切：時間、金錢，甚至生命，如有需要的話。他不計算花的時間多寡；他不急於遣散那些向他求助的人；只要有求於他，他就會奉獻自己。 The good heart knows how to give itself. What does it give? Everything: time, money, life, blood, where necessary. He doesn’t count his hours; he is not impatient to dismiss those who turn to him; he gives himself for the time required (BM, p. 101).
保祿會使徒的第一個條件是穿上新人——依天主的計畫，該是按照正義、聖善的真理而被創造的；這意味著愛護真理，領受恩典，對天主和社會持守正義。 The first condition for the Pauline apostolate is to put on the new man, who, according to God, was created in justice and holiness of truth; which means to feel the love of truth, to possess the grace of the Lord, to observe justice towards God and towards men (UPS IV, 116).
保祿會使徒的第二個條件是穿上耶穌基督：在耶穌基督內，偕同耶穌基督，為了耶穌基督：為天主的光榮和人的平安。 The second condition for the Pauline apostolate is to put on Jesus Christ: in Jesus Christ, with Jesus Christ, for Jesus Christ: for the glory of God and the peace of men (UPS IV, 116).
保祿會使徒的第三個條件是要與教會同心，熱愛教會，與教會合作：成為教會最聖善、最熱誠、最活躍的成員。 The third condition for the Pauline apostolate is to feel with the Church, to love the Church, to cooperate with the Church: to be its holiest, most devoted and active members (UPS IV, 116).
你全部的心思該如同耶穌那樣思考。以耶穌的思想取代我們的思想，是一項偉大的工作！這是巨大的考驗……也是我們必須時常向耶穌請求的恩典，因為有時我們度奉獻生活似乎想要投機取巧，勝過於追求修道生活的真正精髓。 To think like Jesus with your whole mind. It is a great job to replace our thoughts with the thoughts of Jesus! And it is a great trial ... and also a grace that we must always ask of Jesus, because at times we seem to live more the external forms of religious life […]
有時，成果會被嫉妒所毁。「合而為一！」願我們活出愛德！愛德可以消除很多東西，並把我們連結在一起。每人為修會帶來美善：帶來她的活動力、她的天賦；但也帶來她的毛病。 Sometimes the works are destroyed by envy, by jealousy: «Ut unum sint!». Let there be charity! Certainly charity eliminates many things and putting us together, each brings good to the community, brings his activity, his gifts, but he also carries his defects (FSP-SdC, p. 87).
不必認為「理智刻意而行」就一定要做刻苦，或往信德的方向去想。盡力做好自己的工作，就是花心思來侍奉天主。 We must not think that saying «with the mind» one must have always ascetic thoughts or thoughts of faith. To apply the mind to do one’s job well, this is God’s service with the mind (FSP-SdC, pp. 280-281).
去理解對方，是步上共同生活的第一步，這種「同居共處」比友善對待更加深刻，是一種獨特的親屬關係，因為是思想、精神和願望的交流。 Knowing how to understand oneself: this is the first step towards a coexistence which, more than that of a good neighbourhood, is a unique relationship, since it is a communion of thought, spirit, aspiration (ACV, p. 152).
必須答覆人的特殊需要，為使報纸、書刋真正成為生命之言。要做到這一點，一般說來，傳播者務必去了解人，了解他人的需要、他人的痛苦、他人的願望。 For the sheet, the book to be truly a word of life, they must correspond to the particular needs of the soul to which they offer themselves. To achieve this, in general, the propagandist must know the soul with its needs, its sufferings, its desires (AE, 395).
當我們的思維與與耶穌的思維一致時，我們的生活處事會像耶穌那樣思考，真福八端彰顯了耶穌內心隱密的想法，和對世事的價值觀。 To think like Jesus ... The eight beatitudes indicate the secret thoughts and what Jesus thought of the things of the world; and the things that we have to do in the world, in our life, when we conform our thoughts to Jesus (AP 1958/1, p. 172).
我們的心神舉目向上，並觸及人靈；光榮歸於主，和平給世人。團體生活引導我們將人看作耶穌的肖像；我們在團體生活無時無刻都與耶穌相遇，我們在兄弟姊妹身上遇到耶穌。 Heart outstretched towards God, outstretched towards souls; glory be to God and peace be to men. Here, the common life that leads us to consider the image of Jesus in souls, in persons and with which we meet at all times Jesus in the sister, in the brother when we live in common (FSP61*, […]
當天主的光榮和他人在你心中有一席之地時，你就會找到與人交流的方法和途經；你會想去啟發他們，並給予他們最大的愛和真理。 When one looks at the souls and the glory of God, one finds the ways and means to approach them, enlighten them, to do the highest charity: that of truth (ACV, p. 190).
聖若望說：「凡愛自己弟兄的，就是存留在光中。」因此，不愛弟兄的人，不愛姊妹的人，都不與天主同在。 «We know that we are with God – says St. John – because we love our brothers»: therefore whoever does not love his brothers, whoever does not love his sisters is not with God (AP 1958/2, pp. 141-142).
在每天不同的工作中，我們的意向是：將自己與耶穌基督聯合在一起，偕同祂，在祂內，實行使徒工作，成為傳播祂的真理、道路和生命的擴音器。 In our daily and varied toil we have the intention: to unite ourselves to Jesus Christ and, with him and in him, carry out the apostolate as loud speakers who transmit his truth, his way, his life (ACV, pp. 189-190).
基督徒的生活必須嫁接在基督身上；基督是真理、道路和生命，這是容易理解的；思想接枝到基督的思想內，意志接枝在基督的意志裡，心接枝在基督的心中。這樣，到了審判時，人會發現自己與基督的肖像相符。 It is easy to desire that Christian life must be grafted into Christ: now, Christ is Truth, Way and Life; the mind grafted into the mind of Christ, the will into the will of Christ, the heart into the heart of Christ. Thus the man at the judgment will be found conforming to the […]
