你們看看紀艾沙神父，他常把「家庭記錄單」置於眼前。事實上他常將那張紙放在他胸口，像穿了件小衣服；那一塊小布中登記了他堂區的每個家庭。他每次舉行感恩祭時都會記起這些名字。（AAP60, 224） You see Canon Chiesa always kept in front of him all the sheets of paper where the families were registered, in fact, he had done this: on his […]

為瑪利亞的偉大、美德和特恩而歡欣鼓舞；為賜予我們的恩惠而滿懷感激。在每一件事上，努力使自己的意願符合瑪利亞的意願，因而符合天主的旨意。（AE, 205） Love of satisfaction that rejoices in the greatness, the virtues, and the privileges of Mary... Love of gratitude for the benefits that she lavishes on us. Love of […]

没有一個聖人會輕視謙遜的美德。没有一個聖人會在這一點犯錯：「我在這方面取得了成功，我在那方面做得很好，我在這方面有能力。」許多人因工作的外在價值而失去功勞。（RSP, p. 151） No saint had neglected the virtue of humility. No saint had been wrong on this essential point. A great number of souls lose merit because they consider […]

願使徒在對天主和人類完備的愛中，能運用上天給予的一切來抵達目標，為使所有的受造物能向他們的造物主高聲讚頌。（AE, 380） In the fullness of his love for God and for his fellow human beings, the apostle is to learn how to utilize everything that providence offers him for […]

你們需要常守靜默，幫助自己成聖：首先，多多祈禱；其次，真正成為遵守奉獻生活規矩的好榜樣；然後，在福傳工作中盡力而為，善用每一天為天主服務。（AP 1959, p. 82） It is necessary that you enter into peaceful observance, always wanting to help yourselves to become holy: help yourselves first with prayers; secondly, with a good […]

你們要轉變想法。當初聖保祿如此的自信滿滿，之後，他信靠的卻只有天主。歸依，也就是從驕傲到謙虛。（FSP59, p. 42） Change your mind. Saint Paul trusted so much in himself... Then he trusted only in the Lord. Speaking of conversion: from pride to humility (FSP59, p. 42).

天人之間的梯子是瑪利亞。她從天主那裡給我們帶來恩典，拿走了我們自私的愛，用天主的愛取代了它。（DF, 26） The stairway is Mary who takes grace from God in order to give it to us; from us, she takes away self-love and puts in its place the […]

仁愛是處處為對方著想，在思想、感情、言語，以及在行動上互相幫助，各盡其責。（AP 1961, p. 332） Charity: to love one another very much... to love one another very dearly in thoughts, feelings, words, and mutual help, in works, each one doing his […]

同情人的耶穌有祂的喜好：祂偏愛卑微、渺小、簡單的人。祂召叫牧羊人到馬槽旁；牧羊人是耶穌的第一批使徒，因為他們向其他人講論耶穌，儘管他們不是站在講道台。（APD47, 34） Jesus has preferences and shows particular fondness; he prefers the humble, the insignificant, the simple. He called the shepherds to his crib; they were Jesus’ first apostles because […]

在我們之間的愛德十分珍貴，但也最為困難。弟兄姊妹的情誼要求像聖保祿在愛的真諦中所說的：含忍的，慈祥的，凡事包容，凡事寬恕。（RSP, p. 130） Charity among us is very precious, but it is also the most difficult one. Fraternal charity requires what Saint Paul says in his hymn: that it be […]

不是那些偉大的思想家或作家來帶領大眾，而是偉大的傳播者。因此引導他們，就像指引軍隊中的將軍一樣。（AE, 155） It is not the great thinkers or the great writers who guide the masses, but opinion makers. Therefore, to guide them is like guiding generals in the army […]

「愛你的近人如同愛你自己」，就是說，你想為自己爭取的好處，也要為别人、為你的近人爭取。單獨只有好事情還不夠，我們的思想與渴望都要是好的，要盡力幫助別人獲得益處。（AP 1958/1, p. 171） «You will love your neighbour as yourself» and that is all the good you desire for yourself, desire it for others, desire it for the neighbour... […]
