這多麼美好啊！一天的清晨，發現我們所有人都聚集在耶穌腳下，從祂那裡獲得光照，獲得所需要的恩典，與祂一起開始新的一天，然後迅速地去福傳。(RSp, 59) How beautiful it is, in the morning, in time, to find all of us united at Jesus’ feet to receive from him the light, the grace necessary to […]

罪惡是驕傲：驕傲使人類走向毀滅，那些因驕傲而走上歧途的人，毀滅仍在繼續。(RSp, 59) Sin, after all, is pride: from pride came the ruin of humanity, and the ruin continues for those men who put themselves off the road out of pride […]

飛機不會自己飛上天空：需要一些方法才能起飛；我們也是這樣，需要努力才能升天堂。(RSp, 62) The airplane does not rise by itself towards the sky: it takes some means; so it is for us: it takes effort to rise to heaven (RSp, 62).

我們走哪一條路呢？是選擇寬路還是窄路？狹窄的道路是活潑的信德、謹遵奉獻生活的規則、慷慨的福傳工作。這條路雖然狹窄，但它總是被天主的光所照亮。(RSp, 69) Which way do we walk: by the wide or by the narrow way? The narrow way is that of living faith, of religious observance, of generous apostolate: this […]

任何從事出版使徒工作的人都必須尊重聖經，受其啟發並活出它。沒有比在寫作中效法天主更好的了。(RSp, 70) Whoever carries out the apostolate of the edition must hold Scripture in due honour, be inspired by it and live it. One cannot do better than to imitate […]

我們閱讀聖經的時候，不應帶著批判的態度，而是抱持單純的心態。就像兒子不會對父親的信件做語法分析；就像在餐桌上吃麵包時，不會進行化學分析——化學分析是在實驗室做的。(RSp, 71) When we read Scripture, we should not do it with a spirit of criticism, but with simplicity. Like the son who reads his father’s letter, without doing the […]

聖書就像一顆珍貴的珍珠，所有信徒都在尋找它，並小心翼翼地守護著它；信徒的思想常與聖經一致，且按照天主的旨意而生活。(RSp, 75) The Holy Books are like the precious pearl, which all the faithful seek and jealously guard; so that the faithful always conform their thoughts to Sacred Scripture and […]

我們必須在理智、意志、心靈尊敬福音……在信德上以理智尊敬；在服從上以意志尊敬……第三，以心靈來尊敬聖經。(RSp, 75) The veneration that we owe to the Gospel must be of mind, of will, of heart... The veneration of the mind consists especially in faith; the veneration of […]

是的，福音必須放在我們最尊貴的地方；但重要的是：它必須放在我們心裡最被重視的位置；它必須滲透我們的理智和意志，因為它是我們整個生活的指標。(RSp, 76) The Gospel must be, yes, in the most distinctive place in our premises; but above all, it must be in the place of honour of our heart; it […]

如果圖書館裡有一千本書，但缺少聖經，就什麼都沒有；沒有天主的人像是少了一切……可是當一個人以虔誠和熱情來閱讀聖經時，他將擁有天主，他將獲得永恆的幸福。(RSp, 79) If in a library, there were even a thousand volumes and the Bible was missing, everything would be missing; how everything is lacking in man who does not […]

如果我們沒有讀完整部聖經，當我們到天主的審判台前，將受到天主的責備，祂會說：「你沒有讀過我的話，你不認識我的旨意，你沒有看過我寫給人的信……。」(RSp, 84) If we do not at least read the whole Bible, when we present ourselves before God’s judgment, we will deserve a rebuke: «You did not read my word, […]

讓我們祈求以下這些恩寵： 1）能以應有的尊敬心態對待聖經； 2) 能按照教會和耶穌導師傳授的精神來閱讀和默想聖經； 3) 用我們的使徒工作來傳播聖經。(RSp, 86) Let us ask for these graces: 1) that we always keep the Bible in due honour; 2) that we can read and meditate […]
