聖保祿到某地時，他沒有當個匆匆過客只做單場演講，他反而留下並培育當地教友，直到他們的理智認同了、被說服了，並且皈依基督、與基督結合，開始度全面的基督徒生活。聖保祿不會離開，除非他確信自己已盡力完成培育了。(APim, 227) When he arrived, he did not appear just for an occasional conference, but he stayed and formed: to get the consent of minds, to persuade, convert, unite to […]
天上導師在教會散播祂的光芒，這些光芒是道路、真理、生命：這些光芒……形塑了印刷的使徒：透過筆墨、鉛字和房子裡的印刷機，將啟迪人靈，引導他們，使他們充滿活力。從這裡，優良出版的使徒為了使命而出發到各地。(APim, 35) The Divine Master in the church spreads off his rays that are the way, the truth and the life, and these rays … form the apostles of the […]
天上導師要統御天下，祂是照亮每個人靈的真光。願你現在已置身在祂的光中，未來一整年都在這光中行走。你們必須是有獻身精神的人，完全奉獻給天上導師，讓導師被認識、受愛戴、得到光榮，享受被我們服侍的待遇。(APD47, 354) The Divine Master must dominate throughout the world, he must be for every soul the true light that illuminates. May he be so now, first of all for […]
相信並走向聖體，就像人們去耶穌那裡，因為祂真實具體地在我們中間……親近耶穌，如同馬槽裡的瑪利亞、求寬恕的瑪達肋納、請求活水的撒瑪黎雅婦人、渴望復明的瞎子、墾求耶穌憐憫的罪人。(APD47, 364) To believe in the dogma of the Real Presence; to go to the Eucharist just like the persons who were going to Jesus when he became man and […]
耶穌基督是最完美的原初作品，而保祿像是天主為了我們而製出的模型；我們在保祿裡被塑形，複製耶穌基督的樣貌。聖保祿的模子向我們顯露耶穌的個性、心態、美德、熱情和虔誠等等所有的一切。(APim, 227) Jesus Christ is the perfect original; Paul was made and became himself form for us, wherefore in him, we are forged in order to reproduce Christ. St. Paul-form […]
有些人一生勞碌奔波，汗流浹背；他們走路，他們奮鬥，卻一事無成，因為他們內在缺乏生命力。他們就像是空心的植物，徒有外表，但不會結出果實。(APD47, 283) Some persons work all their life, they come, go, sweat, walk, toil and end up nothing because they lack the interior life. They are zeros without units, empty […]
你們能否像耶穌同樣說：「我常做天父喜歡的事，真誠地遵行祂的旨意？」你們是否讓天主隨祂心意處置一切，最後讓全部都屬於天主呢？歸屬於天主是真正的虔誠！(APD47, 285) Are you persons who can say like Jesus: I always do what pleases Him, in the interior and sincere disposition to God’s will? To do what pleases him? […]
要請瑪利亞指導你。善導之母的畫像中，耶穌的頭靠在聖母的心上，表達聖母能啟迪耶穌——聖母舉起耶穌的小腳來引導祂。(PrP I, 128) Ask Mary to guide you. Our Lady of Good Counsel is painted with Jesus resting his head on her heart, so that she may enlighten him: and […]
有些人在他們的生活中不是做實質的使徒工作，他們的使徒工作是祈禱、好榜樣、內修生活，以及聖善的渴望。(APD47, 291) There are persons who in their life, ought not to do real apostolate of deeds, but apostolate of prayer, good example, interior life, holy desires (APD47, 291).
使徒工作是愛德的花朵，是對天主實行的首要之愛，是渴望祂的光榮。天上導師在塵世生活時，一直渴望天父的光榮，這是我們第一優先的渴望。(APD47, 292) Apostolate is the flower of charity and the first charity to be practised is towards God, desiring his glory. The Divine Master during his earthly life had always […]
一切聖潔的願望總結為：天主被認識、被愛、被光榮；願所有人靈都得救，並且成聖。(APD47, 294) All holy desires are summed up in these: that the Lord be known, loved, glorified; that all souls be saved and holy (APD47, 294).
耶穌聆聽聖善的願望，當我們的願望以天主的光榮為目標、以我們的成聖為目標、以他人的聖化為目標時，這些願望是聖善的。天主必會賜予恩典。(APD47, 296) Jesus listens to holy desires and desires are always holy, when they aim for the glory of God, for our sanctification, for the sanctification of our neighbour. These […]
