聖保祿宗徒是我們的父親
聖保祿宗徒是我們的父親、老師及保護者。他的工作面面俱到……保祿家庭的生命源頭來自聖體聖事,但聖保祿是中間的傳遞者。(APim, 225-226) St. Paul the Apostle is our Father, Teacher and Protector. He has done everything. This one is called the Work of St. Paul… The life of the Pauline […]

是耶穌吸引人到自己身邊,將他置於自己心上,並滿懷信任地對他說話……你沒感覺到耶穌想顯現給你、聖神想成為你的老師嗎?(APD47, 383) It is Jesus who draws the person to himself, who takes him into his heart and talks to him with confidence... Can you not hear that it is […]
耶穌向我們展示祂自己,成為我們的榜樣。祂是一切聖善的典範。祂的思想、心靈及行動都是聖潔的……耶穌是凡事都取悅天父的奉獻生活者。讓我們跟隨祂的腳步。(APD47, 390) Jesus is presented to us as our model. He is the model of all holiness. He was holy in mind, heart, deeds... Jesus is the religious who pleases […]
天主會賜下與祂指派給我們的職務所需的恩寵。祂會照亮並拓展我們的心靈,補充我們的不足;祂會引導長上了解祂的意願並正確傳遞祂的訊息;祂會幫助人完成救恩工程。我們要對祂的這些恩寵寄予厚望。(APD47, 167) The Lord gives the graces in proportion to and corresponding with the duty he assigns. He enlightens, expands the person’s heart, makes up for what is lacking. He […]
不是行動拯救世界,而是恩寵;不當只追求外在工作的人,而是成為聖徒!(APD47, 284) Activity shall not save the world, but grace; nor shall those who work only exteriorly, but the Saints! (APD47, 284).
許多人都犯了一個錯誤,認為外在活動比內在生活更為重要。你必須避免這個錯誤……首要的使徒工作是做得以成聖的使徒工作。這個工作人人有責。(APD47, 272) Many fall into the error of giving great importance to exterior activity than to interior life. You must avoid and fight such errors... The first apostolate is the […]
禮儀是神聖之事,可帶來活力、賦予生命。耶穌基督——人類的道路、真理和生命——繼續在祂的教會中擔任導師、犧牲的祭品及聖化者。禮儀是天主的聖言、聖善的學校、恩寵的泉源。(AE, 230) The Liturgy is something alive and life-giving. It is, in a certain sense, the consummation itself of Jesus Christ whereby he continues to be in his Church the […]
主啊,我懇求祢,請光照我的理智;點燃我的意志;淨化我的身體;聖化我的靈魂。讓我痛改前非;拒絕未來的誘惑;糾正我現有生活狀況的惡習,培養美德。(BM, 33) I pray to you, O Lord, to enlighten my intellect; to inflame my will; to purify my body; to sanctify my soul. Let me deplore my past iniquities; […]
人間的禮儀陪伴人靈來到天堂的門口。在這裡須捨棄人間的禮儀,因為最美麗、最圓滿的永恆禮儀將要開始。哦,那時與天主的共融是多麼親密,與天主聖三共度的生活多麼契合。(APD47, 476) The earthly Liturgy accompanies the soul up to the gates of Heaven. It is left here because the most beautiful, most perfect, eternal heavenly Liturgy begins. Oh! what […]
人間的禮儀是為永恆的禮儀做準備,它是喜樂的……禮儀讓我們品嚐到天上事物的味道,並展現天主的許諾:「參與你主人的福樂吧!」(APD47, 490.491) The Liturgy of down here prepares us for the eternal Liturgy, which is also: joy... The liturgy creates in us a taste for heavenly things and introduces us […]
所有的苦修和密契主義,以及教理和倫理生活,都包含在禮儀中。禮儀是達至天主的途徑,是為通往永恆之境與無窮喜樂的準備。(APD47, 492) All the ascetical and mystical doctrines, in addition to those dogmatic and moral, are contained in the Liturgy. The Liturgy is the way to possess God, the way […]
天堂需要努力,「天國是以猛力奪取的」。與自己奮鬥到底,抵抗好奇心、不良傾向、驕傲、敏感、自我滿足的懶惰;奮戰到底!因為要奮力應戰,所以必須好好祈禱。(APD47, 537) Paradise requires efforts. “The Kingdom of God has suffered violence”. Do violence to oneself, opposing curiosities, bad tendencies, pride, sensitiveness, facility to give in to laziness; always violence! […]
