讓我們相信聖保祿是一位溫柔的父親。他對他的第一批門徒：聖弟鐸、聖弟茂德、聖戴格蘭、聖路加和費肋孟懷抱怎樣的感情！有多少聖人在他身邊不成長繁盛的呢！他們曾經大放異彩，即便是現在也深具影響力。（APim, 247） Let us be convinced that St. Paul is a very tender father. What affection he did not have for his first disciples: St. Titus, St. Timothy, St. Thecla, […]
透過印刷使徒工作而出產的書籍、期刊及所有的印刷品，都是憑藉著聖經而變得有力……它們越是吸取、遵循、依據、引述、應用及忠於聖經，特别是福音，就越有效力。（AE, 165） Through the press apostolate, books, periodicals, and other publications acquire effectiveness in virtue of the Bible… The more they draw from, adhere to, depend on, reproduce, show devotion […]
教會特別賜給我們的，是神聖的福音及各書卷著作——也就是聖經，這些構成了我們印刷使徒的基本任務。（AE, 168） The Holy Gospel in particular and the books of Holy Scripture, that is, the Bible, in general, as given to us by the Church, constitute the press apostle’s […]
就像領聖體的人獲得來自天堂無與倫比的美德滋養，以聖經話語為食糧的人，也感到有股不可言喻的神聖之火，在他的心中燃點，穿透靈魂，使精神煥然一新。（AE, 170） Just as one who receives the sacred Host partake of heavenly nourishment of incomparable energy, likewise one who nourishes himself on the words of the Bible experience an […]
聖經與其他書籍不同，它瀰漫著活力。它是天主聖言最偉大的聖事。在它的書頁下，聖神的神聖之火在燃燒，就像在「聖儀」中也有基督活著的神聖位格。（AE, 170） The spirit that permeates the Bible and brings it to life sets it apart from other books. It is the great sacrament of the Word of God. From […]
正如耶穌基督渴望我們接受祂為我們而設的聖體聖事，天主也希望我們閱讀祂在聖經中為我們而寫的內容。（AE, 172） As Jesus Christ ardently desires us to receive him in the Holy Eucharist, instituted precisely for us, so God desires we should read what he has written for […]
主啊，我信靠祢！請使我的信德更堅強。主啊，我仰望祢！請使我的望德更肯定。主啊，我愛慕祢！請使我的愛德更熱忱！主啊，我痛悔己罪，請使我更懷著懺悔之心。（BM, 30） I believe, O Lord, but let me believe more firmly! I hope, O Lord: but let me hope more surely! I love, O Lord: but make me love […]
聖經的出版品應是牧靈性的，稱之為「牧靈」，因為它們是由具備使徒之心的人所預備，以「牧靈的形式」呈現，以牧靈的角度選擇題材，價格盡量親民；用「牧靈」一詞，因為是針對所有人靈。（AE, 183） Biblical publications should be pastoral. Pastoral because they are prepared by apostolic-minded people, pastoral in appearance, pastoral in the choice of notes and, insofar as possible, in their […]
如果你想使人閱讀聖經產生效力，你必須引導他們懷著渴望與耶穌基督、與天主的恩賜相遇的態度來閱讀聖經：抱持著謙遜、信心、祈禱和改變生活的期望來閱讀。（AE, 184） If one wants that Scripture reading be productive in people it is necessary to guide them to read the Holy Book with the lively desire to meet Jesus […]
使徒的目標不單只為了人在能力方面的完善，而是要整個人的圓滿，也就是：成為理智、意志和情感充沛的人，同時展露出要相信的真理、要遵循的道路，以及對天主恩賜的渴慕，以能相信並按照自己的召叫而行事。（AE, 222） What the apostle has to aim for is to perfect not just one of the human faculties, but the whole human person gifted with intellect, will and feeling, […]
聖人是天主的朋友，也是我們的朋友，他們很樂意向我們伸出援手，這是為了天主更大的光榮，也是為了支持他們的弟兄姊妹——也就是我們——因為他們看到我們的處境，他們感同身受。（AE, 274） Since the saints are friends of God and ours, too, they are glad to help us contribute to God’s greater glory and to support us, their brothers and […]
使徒作家的任務是向一般群眾講話，對他們傳遞有關永生的信仰、倫理與敬禮。（AE, 275） The task of the apostle-writer is to address the simple people, the masses, to communicate to them the faith, morals and Catholic worship, with regard to eternal life […]
