在服從中去愛，在愛中服從。修會的内部分裂會導致嚴重的後果：思想、方向、特徵、教義與工作的分歧。它們破壞了修會生活的根基和精神。 Charity in obedience and obedience in charity. The internal divisions in an Institute lead to the most serious consequences: divisions of thought, of direction, of character, of doctrine, of […]
斡旋是渴望各群體和平共處；同時，這麼做也是希望在人類大家庭裡形成有益的和有使命感的社會。「祂不單在猶太人中召叫我們，也在外邦人中召叫我們」，要我們作和平使者。 Sociability requires a peaceful coexistence; but together it wants a beneficial and apostolic coexistence also in the wider human family. «He called us not only from among the Jews […]
父親探望孩子，是父親和子女間的歡聚；總會或省會的友愛拜訪也是一樣……。目的是為建立更親密的關係，彼此問候，互遞消息，活力團體，給予勸勉和慰藉，一起祈禱。 There are paternal visits. They are joyful encounter between father and children; so are the visits of the Superior General or the Provincial ... They have the purpose of […]
在團體裡處處是愛，因為每個人都是為了團體而工作……。一切都為了團體的好處，因此一切都屬於愛。最普通的愛德、最美的愛德，從對待我們的近人開始實行。 In community everything is charity, because everyone works for the community ... Everything is done for the good of the community, therefore it is all charity. The charity most […]
完美的皈依是將我們所有的思想、行動、生活都轉成只為天主。需要改正的地方是如此地多：從驕傲變為謙遜；從執著於某些事情、某些想法和某些立場，變成以超脱的態度，對一切事物和人都保持平心。 The perfect conversion is to turn all our activity of mind, action, life, to God alone. Then how many conversion one needs: from being proud, to become humble; from […]
為團結貢獻一切——只有一個想法、一個方針，這是會憲所表明的，大家一起不斷祈禱，然後，在福傳工作中合作。 Contributing all to the unity: only a single thought, a single directive which is that of the Constitutions, a union of continued prayers and then, a collaboration in the […]
皈依必須是完整的：在思想上有新的思維，在心靈上有新的感受，在日常生活、行為、言談、做事、宗教生活上都要有新的方式。 The conversion must be complete. Of mind, new thoughts; and of heart, new sentiments; and of life, activity, action, a new way of speaking, of doing, of living religious […]
朝拜聖體不是死板和沒有運用理智的祈禱，如果缺少第一個「真理」的部分，就會只是無意識地口誦重複唸經。朝拜聖體不是念一個小時的經文。更正確地說，朝拜聖體是與耶穌對話，感受耶穌，並從耶穌那裡汲取營養。 Adoration is not a dead prayer that one does not understand and in which if the first part is missing, one recites it without understanding. The Visit is not […]
和藹親切不能是假腥腥，不能是一種可笑的外衣；它必須打從心底為弟兄們的益處而著想。仁慈的人，也會十分容易客氣待人。真正發自內心的和善，會產生好話、好的意願、有禮貌、體貼和温柔。 Amiability cannot be a ridiculous paint; it must proceed from «good thinking and good desire» for one’s brothers. From benevolence to courtesy there is only one step. From good […]
同修會成員之間的關係應該由兄弟之愛所激發，其緊密的程度比自然家庭更完美。始終需要的是「同心合意」，正如聖經描述初期基督徒的那樣。 Relationship between religious must be inspired by brotherly love, but in a more perfect manner than in the natural family. It is necessary to have «one heart and one […]
盡可能多為修會做出貢獻。不單單在工作上做出貢獻，更要以祈禱與克己，在使徒服務上做出貢獻，在聖召牧靈上作出貢獻，在團結合一的精神上做出貢獻，為團體帶來喜樂和熱誠。 Contribute to the Congregation as much as possible. Contribute not only with work, with the exercise of the apostolate, but contribute with prayer, with sacrifices; to contribute with the […]
我們來這裡是為使生活成為不間斷的祈禱嗎？耗盡自己，就是把自己獻給天主，首先奉獻理智，接下來奉獻其餘的……就會進入永不休止的祈禱中。 Have we come to make our life a continuous prayer? ... When the soul spends itself, that is, it offers itself to God, the mind in the first place […]
