主啊，我懇求祢，請光照我的理智；點燃我的意志；淨化我的身體；聖化我的靈魂。讓我痛改前非；拒絕未來的誘惑；糾正我現有生活狀況的惡習，培養美德。(BM, 33) I pray to you, O Lord, to enlighten my intellect; to inflame my will; to purify my body; to sanctify my soul. Let me deplore my past iniquities; that I reject future temptations; that I correct the vicious inclinations and cultivate the virtues according to my state of life (BM, 33).
人間的禮儀陪伴人靈來到天堂的門口。在這裡須捨棄人間的禮儀，因為最美麗、最圓滿的永恆禮儀將要開始。哦，那時與天主的共融是多麼親密，與天主聖三共度的生活多麼契合。(APD47, 476) The earthly Liturgy accompanies the soul up to the gates of Heaven. It is left here because the most beautiful, most perfect, eternal heavenly Liturgy begins. Oh! what an intimate communion with God, what intimacy of life with the Most Holy Trinity! (APD47, 476).
人間的禮儀是為永恆的禮儀做準備，它是喜樂的……禮儀讓我們品嚐到天上事物的味道，並展現天主的許諾：「參與你主人的福樂吧！」(APD47, 490.491) The Liturgy of down here prepares us for the eternal Liturgy, which is also: joy... The liturgy creates in us a taste for heavenly things and introduces us to the fulfillment of the divine promise: “Take part in the joy of your master” (APD47, 490.491).
所有的苦修和密契主義，以及教理和倫理生活，都包含在禮儀中。禮儀是達至天主的途徑，是為通往永恆之境與無窮喜樂的準備。(APD47, 492) All the ascetical and mystical doctrines, in addition to those dogmatic and moral, are contained in the Liturgy. The Liturgy is the way to possess God, the way and preparation to the eternal vision and everlasting joy (APD47, 492).
天堂需要努力，「天國是以猛力奪取的」。與自己奮鬥到底，抵抗好奇心、不良傾向、驕傲、敏感、自我滿足的懶惰；奮戰到底！因為要奮力應戰，所以必須好好祈禱。(APD47, 537) Paradise requires efforts. “The Kingdom of God has suffered violence”. Do violence to oneself, opposing curiosities, bad tendencies, pride, sensitiveness, facility to give in to laziness; always violence! Violence in making the examination of conscience, so as to pray well (APD47, 537).
困難不會缺少，但新郎與你同在，不要害怕！......你會遇到一些阻礙、一些荊棘，但看看結局吧。這條窄路通向何方呢？它將引人至天鄉，在那裡你將在最純淨的喜樂中永遠找到耶穌。(APD47, 496) Difficulties will not be lacking, but the Bridegroom is with you, do not be afraid!... You will meet with hardships and thorns but look to the end. Where does this narrow way lead? It will lead to that heavenly homeland where you will finally find Jesus forever in the purest joy (APD47, 496).
在聖保祿的生活、作品、書信中認識和默想他；按照他的想法、思考、說話、行動；並求助於他父親般的幫助。(APim, 227) Know and meditate St. Paul in his life, works, letters; so as to think, reason, talk, work like him. And invoke his fatherly assistance (APim, 227).
好好認識聖保祿……認識你們的父親：他的聖善生活、他的使徒工作、他的道理、他在天主面前的能力。認識基督的宗徒、外邦人的導師、教會的司牧、特選之器、福音的宣講者、基督的殉道者。(APim, 228) To know better St. Paul… “Know your Father”: his holy life, his apostolate, his doctrine, his power before God. To know the Apostle of Christ, the Teacher of the gentiles, the Minister of the Church, the Vessel of the election, the Preacher of the gospel, the Martyr of Christ (APim, 228).
你們必須做得更多；不要停在表面，而是要深入禮儀的核心，做更多的事情，與其他人所做的不同；你們要做真正的使徒工作：將人靈帶到聖體前！(APD47, 144) You must do even more; do not stop at the exterior, but penetrate the depths of the Liturgy, do something more, something different from what everyone else is doing and achieve the true apostolate: to bring souls to the Eucharist! (APD47, 144).
聖保祿是個步行者：耶穌導師在他去大馬士革的路上征服了他，之後保祿走上另一條路，從未停下腳步……今日他比過去走得更遠、更廣。他被我們現有342個會院（1960年）的保祿家庭成員帶往各處，會士們愛他、向他祈禱，並宣揚他。(APim, 235) St. Paul walked: the Divine Master conquered him on the road to Damascus, and Paul, after taking the opposite path, did not stop anymore… He walks today more than ever, in every direction, even carried by members of the 342 Pauline houses who love him, pray to him, preach him (APim, 235).
所有喜歡閱讀保祿書信的人都變得堅強。誰讀過聖保祿的書信，就會熟悉他，慢慢地獲得與他相似的精神。(APim, 242) All the souls that have taken pleasure in reading St. Paul became robust souls. He who reads St. Paul and familiarizes himself with him comes to acquire little by little a spirit similar to his (APim, 242).
我們是否在祈禱中效法我們的父親？我們有敬禮聖保祿嗎？如果一個女兒從來沒有和她父親說過一句話，豈不怪哉！(APim, 246) And we, do we imitate our Father in prayer? Are we devoted to St. Paul? It would be strange if a daughter never spoke to her father! (APim, 246).
使用某種方式或另一種方法都無所謂；重要的是有熱忱的心靈，想要將擁有的一切傾注到人們心中。這就是使徒想要做的工作，無論使用什麼工具：印刷、電影、廣播、學校、宣講等等。(Haec Meditare II, 7 , p. 133) It does not matter that one medium or another is used; it matters that there are ardent hearts and souls that want to pour all their fullness into the hearts of people. This is the soul that wants to do the apostolate, whatever means it uses: press, cinema, […]
真愛是有創造力的！當你心中有熱火（不是多愁善感或畫大餅空想）時，你會發現許多創舉和許多事業。真正的愛是表現在每天為了使徒工作所付出的努力：它刺激你想法子、到處奔波、籌畫安排。(Haec meditare II, 8 , pp. 179-180) Love, true love, is inventive. When one has fire in one’s heart (not something sentimental and vapid), one finds many initiatives and many industries. True love is that which is shown by the effort of each day for the apostolate: it makes one think, run, organize (Haec meditare […]
過修道生活的人不僅要遵守誡命和一般基督徒的義務，而且必須在一切事務上努力成聖。想法、願望、感受、言語……都必須以耶穌為榜樣。(PrP I, 103) The religious must observe not only the Commandments and the duties of ordinary Christians but must strive for holiness in everything. His/her thoughts, his/her wishes, his/her feelings, his/her words... They must model everything on Jesus (PrP I, 103).
虔誠的修道者要非常注意讓自己充滿天主。她總是常與耶穌親密結合：沒有什麼使她分心，沒有什麼使她焦慮，沒有什麼能阻止她上升到天主面前。常與天主結合一起——不僅在祈禱中，而且在她所有的工作中，甚至是微小的事上——就如同聖母一樣。(PrP I, 104) The holy religious has the great concern of filling herself with God. She is always united to Jesus: nothing disturbs her, nothing agitates her, nothing stops her in her ascent towards God. She should always be united with God, not only in prayer but also in all her works, not excluding the […]
我還有一件事要特別告訴你們：你們有祈禱手冊。裡頭不只有禱文，還有指引。一開始是一種邀請：教導你們如何默想、朝拜聖體、省察等等，你們要常閱讀它。(PrP I, 11) One more thing for you in particular: you have the prayer book. There are not only formulas but also introductions. At the beginning is the invitation: how to meditate, visit, examine, etc... Read it often (PrP I, 11).
將這一年獻給天主，為了你的團體將有許多美麗的聖召，並為了每個人能獲得成聖的恩寵。這些祈禱意向激發團結和仁愛，耶穌十分高興並鍾愛你們如心愛的小羊。(PrP I, 114) Offer the year to the Lord to obtain graces for your institute and for each one in particular: to the institute, many beautiful vocations; to each one, that she may become holy. Prayer for these intentions fosters union and charity; Jesus will be pleased and will love you as the beloved lambs […]
悶悶不樂意味著沒有聖召。你們要心存虔誠，以及細膩敏銳的良知，為整個人生帶來歡樂。(PrP I, 117) To be a sourpuss is to have no vocation. Have much piety in your heart, deep delicacy of conscience, which will bring joy to your whole life (PrP I, 117).
懇求天上導師吸引所有人進入祂的真理、良善及充滿恩寵的學校。(APD47, 119) Pray to the Divine Master to draw all people to his school of truth, goodness and grace (APD47, 119).
幫助人靈進入天堂，這將是你們的專業與職務：這必須探究、深入他們當中。你們來到這裡要開始想著人靈，要去滿足新的渴求——對人靈的渴求。(PrP I, 118) This will be your profession, your occupation: to help souls to reach Paradise. This needs to enter well into the soul. By entering here, you begin to think of souls, to nourish a new thirst, the thirst of the souls (PrP I, 118).
如果你們在領聖體後只說：「耶穌，我愛你。」祂不會滿意；你們必須加上：「耶穌，我愛祢，我也愛人。」背誦〈愛德經〉，告訴天主：「請使我愛人，就像祢愛了他們一樣。」(PrP I, 119) If after Communion you only say: “Jesus, I love you”, He will not be pleased; you must add: “Jesus, I love you and I love souls”. Recite the act of charity well, in full. Say to the Lord: “Make me love souls as you have loved them” (PrP I, 119).
最後我感到這是一種啟示。我明白這種做法需要耗盡人的一生，我渴望每個人都能明瞭、實踐並活出這種對耶穌導師道路、真理和生命的熱忱，就是傳遞良善，這是給予所愛之人最美麗的禮物。(PrP I, 12) At the end I sensed a revelation. I understood that this practice took up the whole of man’s life and I felt the desire that everyone should know, practice and live this devotion : to communicate and give good is the most beautiful gift that one can give to those one loves […]
使徒工作的職責是闡釋、推廣、傳播救贖的真理，這是教會賦予的。教會是唯一的，有守護神聖真理的任務，她也是在世上的信德導師。(AE, 140) The works of the apostolate have the office to expound, popularize and spread God’s life-saving truths, as set out by the Church, which alone has the task of guarding the sacred deposit of truth and is the Teacher of faith in the world (AE, 140).
正如我們熱切渴望使自己成聖，我們也必須渴望近人成聖。我們要為人靈奉獻時間、力量和健康。在臨終時能說「我為人靈獻出了生命」的人，是有福的。(PrP I, 120) As we ardently desire to make ourselves holy, so must we desire it for our neighbour. For the souls give your time, your strength, your health. Blessed who on his deathbed can say: ‘I have given my life for souls’ (PrP I, 120).
瑪利亞，不僅僅是我們的母親；她比地上的母親更細心關照我們。你們要有信心，因為這位母親多麼棒又何其美好。「看，你的兒子！看，你的母親！」(AP 1958/1, 16) Mary ... is more than a mother to us; she is more caring, more attentive than an earthly mother can be to us. Trust, because this Mother is good, Mary is good. “I am your mother, you are my son” (AP 1958/1, 16).
有了服從和良善，修道生活是人間的天堂。在你們中間要散播喜樂及美德。人們必會說：他們彼此多麼相愛！(PrP I, 125) Religious life is a paradise on earth when there is obedience on the one hand and goodness on the other. Sow joy and goodness among yourselves. People should say of you: How they love each other (PrP I, 125).
人的首要責任是了解和堅持信仰真理：我們被創造是為了認識天主，這些真理是由天主啟示的，教會教導我們並建議我們出版使徒要將信仰內容置於優先。(AE, 18-19) Since the prime duty of human beings is to know and adhere to the truths of faith: “We were created to know… God”, such truths revealed by God and which the Church teaches and proposes to us as the object of our faith, must be the publishing apostolate’s primary object (AE, 18-19).
培育聖召：他們將在哪裡開花？在那裡有純潔的百合花、慈善的玫瑰和謙遜的紫羅蘭。僅僅接受他們並讓他們進入修會是不夠的；有必要培育他們對人靈的熱忱和愛！(PrP I, 128) Forming vocations: where will they flourish? Where there are lilies of purity, roses of charity and violets of humility. But it is not enough to accept them and bring them into the congregation; we need to know how to form them. Zeal and love for souls! (PrP I, 128).
