啊，天地的主宰、普世的救主！請祢指引、聖化並統管我們今天的心思與工作，使我們的意念、感受和言行，都符合祢的律法及誡命，讓我們在世上就獲得永恆的救贖和自由。(BM, 40) Lord, God of heaven and earth, direct and sanctify, reign and govern today our hearts and our works, the senses, the discourses, the acts in the observance of your law and your precepts, so that on this earth and in eternity we may be saved and free, O Savior of the world (BM, […]
把自己交給天主，意味著忘記自我，把自己的身心靈全託付給祂；換句話說，也就是把自己所有的力量、志向、感受、渴望、恐懼與希望都交给祂。在履行自身職責時服務祂，全心全意地愛祂。(APD47, 58) To give oneself to God means to forget oneself and to entrust to him one’s soul and body; it means giving him all of one’s own powers, aspirations, sentiments, desires, fears and hopes, and reserving for oneself only the task to think of him, to serve him in the perfect fulfillment of our […]
逐漸認識善牧之母；越來越忠實地仿效她；越來越虔誠地向她祈禱；越來越頻繁地在牧民工作中，向所有人講論她。(PrP I, 19) To get to know the Mother of the Divine Shepherd better and better; to imitate her ever more faithfully; to pray to her with ever greater piety; to speak of her often, to everyone, ever more frequently, in the pastoral apostolate (PrP I, 19).
潛在的聖召比入會的人還要多。不要因我們的緣故而失去他們。天主已經預備了這些靈魂，預備他們具有的特點。我們必須合作，為他們開路，為他們開門。首先是祈禱，然後是邀請、行動與工作。(APD47, 592) Vocations are much more numerous than those who come. Let no vocation be lost through any fault of ours. God prepared that person, with those certain dispositions for a vocation. It is necessary that we cooperate, facilitating the way, opening the door. First of all to pray, but then to invite, to do, […]
關於聖召，某些人有時是真的懶惰、輕視他人、不冷不熱或簡直完全冷漠。事實上，愛修會的人為了證明自己的愛，會為修會的益處而盡力合作。為我們保祿家庭的首要益處就是會士人數——有更多的人，更好的人。(APD47, 593) With regard to vocations in some persons at times, there is real laziness, disrespect, indifference, lukewarmness. In reality, the person who loves the Institute gives proof of this love and seeks to cooperate effectively for its good and the first good in a family are the persons – numerous persons, good persons (APD47, […]
無論去到那裡，人都會带著缺點，所以不要自作主張另尋他處，而是留在主召叫你要待的地方。在那裡你會找到得以改正、進步、成聖的恩寵。(APD47, 62) Wherever we go, we take with us our “I” with all its defects, so let no one be deceived, but to remain where the Lord called her. It is there that she will find the grace to correct herself, to advance and become holy (APD47, 62).
有時會發生這樣的情況：一些人認為他們被天主召叫離開修會，而進入隱修院。也許這是天主對某些靈魂的邀請，要他更加修心，更追求内修生活，更熱衷於祈禱。(APD47, 63) It can also happen that someone believes that she is called by God to leave her own congregation... to enter a cloistered order... probably, it is simply a question of an invitation that the Lord extends to the person, so that she may become more recollected, acquire a deeper interior life and a […]
反思童貞聖母瑪利亞身負對耶穌的責任，以了解耶穌召叫你去完成的高超使命——相似於聖母的使命。你必須仰望聖母，仿效她，渴望從她那裡得到助佑，以完成你的使命。(APD47, 81) Reflect on the office that the Virgin Mary had towards Jesus, in order to understand how Jesus has called you to a very sublime mission, very similar to that of Our Lady. You must look at her in order to imitate her and put your hope in her, for the help you need […]
一切都從思想出發。如果某人想做一件好事，那是因為他先想到，然後有意願去做，跟著就做了。因此，你們首先要顧好思想。如果在思想上有任何罪惡、不完善、瑕疵或毛病，喔，要聖化思想。(APD63, 365) Everything comes from the mind. If one does good work it is because he has thought it out and then wanted it and then done it. So always, the first point to look at is the mind. And if there is any sin or any imperfection, any defect first it is in the […]
若我們知道聖保祿在世上做了多少善事，特别是對我們這些外邦人的後裔所成就的善；看他的生活、他的工作、他的書信：我們就更會向他祈求，更愛他，更效法他。從他身上我們會學會基督信仰的兩種基本美德：對耶穌及對近人的愛。(APim, 20) Would that we knew the good that St. Paul has done for the world, especially for us descendants of the gentiles! If we read his life, his works and his letters: how much more would we pray to him, love him and imitate him. From him, we would learn the two virtues that […]
聖保祿宗徒走遍了當時已知的世界，讓各地聽到福音，把無數的基督徒聚集在十字架的旗幟下。因此，他是熱誠的人：幾乎可以說熱誠就是聖保祿的分身。(APim, 22) The Apostle Paul traveled the known world of his time, making heard everywhere the good news and gathering under the banner of the cross an immense number of Christians. He is therefore the man of zeal: it seems almost that in St. Paul zeal has been personified (APim, 22).
我希望你們每個人都能感到要向天上導師表達感謝、信賴和愛。你們付出辛勞而獲得的恩賜有：眼望天堂的望德，謙和，與熾熱的心；然而，最重要的是效法耶穌、道路、真理和生命。(APim, 221) I would like everyone to feel a felt word of gratitude, of faith, of love for the Divine Master and to say to everybody: eyes to heaven, knees kneeling on the earth, your hearts inflamed. Each one will receive as he has worked; above all, however, imitate Jesus, Way, Truth and Life (APim, […]
福傳工作的痛苦，就是與耶穌一起受苦，以拯救人靈。每人都背著十字架，有人拖著它走，有人把它鋸開幾塊，以便減輕重量，有人把它抬起來向大家展示。有的人則帶著它與耶穌在一起，這樣做就對了。(APD47, 338) Apostolate of suffering. It is to suffer with Jesus in order to save souls. Everyone carries the cross down here. There are those who carry it by dragging it, those who saw off a few pieces so that it weighs less, those who lift it up to show it to everyone. Some carry […]
戰勝自己……除掉毛病，以美德取而代之。驕傲的人要謙虛，嫉妒的人要慈善，懶惰的人要熱心。誰若不足，就請求主賜予堅忍，這是一種樞德，是的，也是聖神的禮物。(APim, 263) Overcoming ourselves... Do away with defects to be able to put in their place the opposite virtues. One who is proud, replace with humility, and one instead who is inclined to envy, replace with charity. One inclined to laziness, replace with fervour. Let the feeble person ask the Lord for strength, which is […]
仁愛是一種情誼，一種善意，一種在我們心中對於天父、對於弟兄、對於鄰人所表現出的愛。對天主的愛和鄰人的仁愛，就像同一絲火苗散發出的兩道光芒。(APim, 56) Charity is friendship, benevolence and love that we show in our heart toward our heavenly Father and our brothers and sisters, our neighbour. Charity towards God and our neighbour are like two rays of the same flame (APim, 56).
從聖保祿寫的內容，我們知道他心中對天主的愛火燃燒得如何，他與我們的主密切結合，直到他說的：我生活已不是我生活，而是基督在我內生活。(APim, 57) We know moreover how intensely burning in his heart was the fire of his love for God from what he wrote about his intimate union with Our Lord Jesus Christ until his saying that it was not anymore he that lived, but Jesus Christ in him (APim, 57).
天主在創造我們的時候，為每個人在世上分配了一個位置、一項人生事業、一個特殊的聖召。根據這特殊的聖召，祂賦予每個人適切的傾向和才能，祂還為這人準備了在這特殊崗位上所需的多重恩寵。(APim, 77) In creating us, the Lord assigns to each one a place in the world, a career in life, a special vocation. And in accord with this special vocation, he gives to each one the fitting inclinations and attitudes. He also prepares all that complex of graces that are necessary for that special office […]
真正的熱忱必須來自完全愛天主的心。只有心中燃燒著對主的真愛，才能感受到對人靈的熱忱。這樣的人會不遺餘力，不計較是否舒適，不顧惜自己的生命：即使生活卡關，也保持著活力及興趣，不致失去熱忱。(APim, 86) In order to be true, zeal must be born of a heart fully in love with the Lord. Only a heart aflame with a true love for the Lord can feel that ardour for souls that spares nothing, not comforts, not interest, not life, not oneself. It’s a zeal that never stops, even […]
使徒遇到善良的人，就用福音的教導來軟化他們；當發現他們的思想向真理開放，就予以啟發；他赢取人靈，吸引他們，替天主贏得他們，提升他們到更高的層次。(APim, 89) The Apostle, meeting with good hearts, sweetens them through the teachings of the Gospel; when he finds open minds, he enlightens them; he wins souls, draws them to himself, gains them for God and sometimes raises them to the greatest heights (APim, 89).
現在，報刋已經成為主導世界的力量：可以說，誰掌管報刋，誰就掌管世界的方向。媒體是支撐道德、政治、社會和宗教世界的出發點。(APim, 92) Today the press has become the leading power of the world such that we can say that whoever owns the direction of the press owns the direction of the world. It is the point of departure with which it is possible to lift up the moral, political, social, religious world... (APim, 92).
在我們這特殊的生活環境中，我們有何能耐？重要的是盡你所能做你能作的。有些人捐獻，有些人放棄財產，有些人做出犧牲……有些人為了好的印刷品而付出自己的生命。那麼我們可做什麼，又如何做呢？(APim, 93) What is possible for us? In the special circumstances of our life? It matters to do good, how much we can, all that we can. One gives offerings, one gives away his inheritance, one makes some sacrifices, one works with all the fervour of his spirit, another spends his life for the good […]
你要與至聖瑪利亞聯合在一起，要為了她，在她內朝拜、感谢、祈禱並滿足於此時此地。你要告訴至聖瑪利亞說：「我把我的意願放在妳的意願內，我與妳、並在妳內一起祈禱。我透過妳最純潔的手來祈禱。」(APD47, 116) Unite yourselves to Mary Most Holy and with her, through her, in her, adore, thank the Lord; pray and make satisfaction. Say to Mary Most Holy: “I place your intentions, I pray with you, in you; I let my prayer pass through your most pure hands” (APD47, 116).
勇敢起來吧！如果壞人如此熱衷於媒體；我們豈不更該為好事而做媒體福傳嗎？勇敢吧！儘管犧牲很多，但也相對有回報，而且十分之大。(APim, 93) Take courage: if the bad are so zealous for their press, what should we not do for the good? – Take courage: there will be many sacrifices to undergo, but the reward also will be great, even very great, in heaven (APim, 93).
機器、麥克風、屏幕是我們的講台；印刷厰、製片場、放映室、廣播間，就像是我們的聖堂。(CISP, p. 832) The machine, the microphone, the screen are our pulpit; the printing press, the production, projection and broadcasting room is like our church (CISP, p. 832).
接近聖保祿的人都會漸漸改變，學會像他一樣生活，像他一樣祈禱。熱愛聖保祿的人，心胸很快會變得寬廣慷慨。(È necessario pregare sempre 2 , p. 362) One who comes near to St. Paul little by little transforms himself, learns to live like him, to pray like him. He quickly makes his heart big and becomes generous, broad in his outlook and ardent and tender in his love for Christ (È necessario pregare sempre […]
牧民關懷是牧養人靈的藝術，是神聖的任務與事業，尋求將靈魂帶往天堂，拯救他們。(FSP33**, 23) Pastoral care is the art of the pastor of souls, it is the art of pasturing, it is that divine office, that complex of holy industries that he seeks to lead souls to heaven, to save them (FSP33**, 23).
即使你們不理解對方，即使你們相處上有困難，但仍彼此相愛的話，就再好不過了。需要謙遜，這是仁愛的基礎；因為驕傲帶來混亂，嫉妒是仁愛的蛀蟲。 Love one another, very well, always well, even when of course you do not understand one another, even when there are difficulties. Ask for humility which is the foundation of charity, because pride creates disorder and envy is the worm of charity (FSP33**, 31).
如果我們沒有做好我們的使命，主會取代我們。常有偏離特定目標的危險！必須常宣講天主聖言，因為總有人需要被拯救。媒體工具可以改換，但必須常保持宣講。(FSP33**, 31) (Vademecum, n. 1065) If we do not carry out our mission well, the Lord may replace us. There is always a danger of deviating from the special purpose! The Word of God must always be preached: there will always be souls to be saved. The means may vary, but the preaching must remain […]
