耶穌受洗後，正在祈禱時，天開了，聽到了天父的聲音。父揭示了祂的兒子，彰顯出來（揭示的意思是彰顯）。就像是向人介绍，以便他們聽從祂的話，並跟隨祂。（APD57, 11） After Jesus was baptized and was praying, the heavens opened and the voice of the heavenly Father was heard, who revealed, manifested (epiphany means manifestation) his Son... It […]
使徒不會缺乏天主的恩典，倘若他在理智、道德和心靈上做了必要的預備，假使他是在天主的恩寵內從事寫作；或者更確切地說，他以一顆真實愛天主和愛人靈的心，以祈禱和刻苦來完成工作。（AE, 143） The apostle will never lack God’s grace if he has made the necessary intellectual, moral, and spiritual preparation; if he writes in God’s grace, or rather, with a […]
跟隨耶穌基督的道路，是步履祂的行蹤（堅定意志）。追隨耶穌基督的真理，是聽從祂的教理（堅定理智）。跟隨耶穌基督的生命，是在祂的愛和恩典中生活（堅定情感和精神）。（AE, 39） Follow Jesus Christ Way – walking in his steps (adherence of one’s will). Follow Jesus Christ Truth – listening to his doctrine (adherence of one’s intellect). Follow Jesus […]
我們在洗禮中領受恩竉的生命，在堅振中使它增長，在和好聖事中修補它，在聖體聖事中走向至善。我們必須與耶穌的生命聯合起來，透過感恩祭、默想、聖體聖事和朝拜聖體來增加我們身上的恩寵。然後我們的理智、意志和心就變成是耶穌的。（PrP I, 11） We receive the life of grace in baptism, we increase it in confirmation, we repair it in penance, we perfect it in the Eucharist. We must unite […]
如果使徒作家希望為天主的光榮而展開工作，對自己和人靈都有益處……他將成為正直的人，遵守自然律和基督徒的生活，信靠天主，在天主的臨在中工作，以天主為目標，憑良心認真審視自己筆下的每一個字。（AE, 151-152） If the apostle writer wants to undertake a work for God’s glory which will be of benefit to himself and to others, he should be an upright person, […]
為了不辜負身為印刷使徒的職責，出版品必須具備正確的教義、完善的道德和美的形式，不需要總是談論宗教，但必須以基督宗教的方式來寫作。（AE, 159） To not fall short in one’s duty as a press apostle that requires giving the true doctrine, the good in morals and the beautiful in appearance, does not […]
印刷使徒在他的著作中必須解答信仰的疑惑，必須具備天主默感聖經的目的：就是為了天主的光榮和人靈的得救。（AE, 161） The press apostle must resolve, in his writings, to have the same goal that God had in writing the Holy Book: God’s glory and the salvation of souls […]
我們必須像聖保祿那樣行動，他問耶穌：「主，我當作甚麼？」他一知道天主的旨意，就立即準備好，不再多等待，馬上去做。（APim, 66） We must do like St. Paul, who turns to Jesus and says to him: «Lord, what do you want me to do?». And as soon as God’s will […]
把福音傳給人：這是我們每日的氣息，我們每天的祈禱。（RSP, 82） To give the Gospel to men: this is our daily sigh, this is our prayer (RSP, 82).
一名使徒必須以聖經為榜樣，為了讓自己的著作成為通往天堂的真正道路，也就是说，他必須用跟聖經同樣的方式及目的，探索相關的主題。（AE, 160） So that his writings would be the true way that leads to Heaven, the apostle must model himself on the Bible. In other words, he must explore the […]
讓祈禱優先，並且陪伴接下來的傳教工作。使徒把耶穌的祈禱「認識祢……和祢所派遣來的耶穌基督」變成自己的祈禱，因而分享同一個永恆救恩的效力。（AE, 166） Let prayer precede, accompany and follow up the apostolate. Let the apostle make his own the prayer of Jesus, «That they know you… and the one whom you […]
印刷使徒不是為了科學發明或創作文學作品，也不是為了傳播自己或他人的思想，而單單是為了傳播教會給予的啟示真理，並引導人接近這些真理。（AE, 162） It is not the aim of the press apostle to propose scientific or literary works as such; nor to spread his own or other people’s ideas. His exclusive […]
