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 […]

有些人心中聖保祿的形象是這樣的：放眼全世界，心神日夜不斷地念及所有人，滿懷神聖的熱忱——那股熱火將他轉變為耶穌基督並推動他耗盡一切。每位使徒的心靈都該如此。（AE, 350） There are those who imagine Saint Paul like this: with his eye on the geographical panorama of the pagan world, his soul tense night and day to all […]

做福傳工作時，需要選擇一枝浸入耶穌聖心的筆，並懂得在紙張上傳達思想……選擇能贏得人心、滿足思想、牽引意志的筆。一枝能適應時代、適應人群的筆。（AE, 378） The apostolate needs talented writers who dip into the Heart of Jesus and convey their thoughts on paper… Chosen writers who win hearts, satisfy the minds, sway the […]

全心愛天主和人靈，使徒是學習善用上天為他的目的所賜予的一切，以便受造物向造物主唱出讚美詩。使徒會知道如何從廢土種出玫瑰及百合花，將破布轉變為傳播福音的紙張。（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 […]

祈求在至聖童貞的精神中妥善參與感恩聖祭的恩典，你們必須深入聖母的精神，與她有同樣的感受。熱心使徒的整個生活是聖母生活的延續：虔誠的門徒必須與聖母一起生活。（APD47, 173） Ask for the grace to attend the Holy Mass well, always better, in the spirit of the Holy Virgin. You must intimately enter into the spirit of Our […]

懷著聖母的意向、感受、心願、渴望與計畫，為聖母而活。你有瑪利亞的思想、感受與願望嗎？你行事像瑪利亞嗎？你感覺自己與瑪利亞在一起嗎？或感到在她內嗎？你有每天自我更新與轉變嗎？（APD47, 232） Own the intentions, feelings, aspirations, desires, having Mary’s plans. Live like Mary. Do you have the thoughts, feelings, aspirations of Blessed Maria? Do you work as Mary would […]
