上主向貞潔的靈魂揭示了許多事情，就如主耶穌特別吸引了這個靈魂，賜予神慰並建立真實的友誼。過程在於神與人之間的交換：「我全是祢的，而祢是我的。」(APD56, 85) The Lord reveals many things to the soul; how the Lord Jesus exercises a particular attraction over this soul and communicates consolations and establishes a true friendship, which […]
人需要有目標，承諾力求完美，並完成自己的使徒工作。如此就應驗了《聖詠》133篇的這句話：「看，兄弟們同居共處，多麼快樂，多麼幸福！」(APD56, 223) Have the purpose, the commitment in mind: attend to perfection and carry out one’s apostolate. Then the words come true: “What a beautiful and joyful thing to live […]
會母非常單純，她是我所知聖保祿孝女會中最認識耶穌的。她的信德像耶穌那樣虔誠！她的祈禱生活如耶穌滋養我們一樣。我們也應學習妥善分辨，對主說：「這個好；那個不好。」(Convegno catechistico paolino, 1960, 36) Prima Maestra, even in her simplicity, is the most profound that I know among the daughters of St Paul in knowing Jesus. As how Jesus […]
「真誠」是認識自己原本的樣貌，不過分譴責，因為天生的缺陷和非故意的不完美總會發生；但我們也不要替個人的疏失找藉口。讓我們對自己誠實，認識我們在天主面前的樣子。(APD56, 44) Sincerity is recognizing ourselves as we are, without condemning more than what is condemnable because involuntary defects and imperfections always happen; but also without excusing what is truly […]
我們在「聖體日」受到這些的滋養：首先是透過聖體，其次是感恩祭，第三則來自朝拜聖體。也就是說——為了愛耶穌而到耶穌面前；在耶穌的幫助下來耶穌面前；親近耶穌並與祂同在，且在祂內祈禱。(APD56, 490) The Eucharistic day is nourished, in the first place, by Communion; secondly, by the Mass; thirdly, by the hours of adoration. That is, to come to Jesus, for […]
朝拜聖體讓我們感受到與天主結合，它再次讓我們與天主有更親密的交流，因為如果電線被切斷，電流就無法通到電器那邊，電燈泡也不會亮了。(APD56, 62) The Visit makes us feel united with God, it puts us in more intimate communication with God again, because if the electric wire is cut, the electric current […]
祈求進步，祈求克服偏情，祈求德行：首先是信望愛三超德；其次是智勇節義四樞德；第三則是奉獻生活的美德，亦即那些透過三願誓詞而提升的美德。也務求倫理的美德，譬如忍耐、服從、温良。(APD56, 64) Ask for progress, ask for victory over passions, ask for virtues: theological, in the first place; secondly, cardinal; and, thirdly, the religious virtues, those which are then elevated […]
對妳們主徒修女來說這一天非常重要，這是妳們出生的週年紀念日。依天主的旨意，自這一天起，許多要獻身於妳們特別使徒工作的人，有的從聖保祿孝女會當中被揀選了。(APD47, 140) This day is very important for you since it marks your birthday, it remembers the anniversary of your birth. Many years from today, by divine will, those who […]
生病是聖化的時刻，是來自天主的憐憫，給我們懺悔罪過的時期，讓我們反省自己，更加收歛自己的心神，與天主相連在一起。即使我們體弱多病，也要習慣遵行天主的旨意。(Prediche a Grottaferrata e Albano, 1954, 128) Illness is a time of sanctification, a mercy granted by God to give a space of time for the penance of sins, to […]
我們向前邁進，走向什麼目標呢？我們的終向是天堂，我們必須為天堂做好準備。我們的生活是為天堂而預備。(APD56, 45) To move our steps. Towards what? Our destiny is heaven and we must prepare for heaven. Our life is a preparation for heaven (APD56, 45).
首先理智要清醒、內心要警覺；罪惡總是先從思想和內心開始，而不是從行動開始。要謹守內心生活。(APD56, 92) First, vigilance over thoughts, over the heart; sins are always done first in the mind and in the heart than with actions. Watch over and guard the interior […]
聖化四旬齋期。要戰勝邪惡並走向天主，走在成聖的道路上，在這段時期要進步、努力聖化自己。按照教會的教導，常常定志和祈禱，以聖化四旬期。(APD67, 84) Sanctify Lent. To overcome evil and to walk towards God, to walk in sanctification, to progress, to perfect oneself during this time. To make resolutions and to perform […]
