真愛是有創造力的！當你心中有熱火（不是多愁善感或畫大餅空想）時，你會發現許多創舉和許多事業。真正的愛是表現在每天為了使徒工作所付出的努力：它刺激你想法子、到處奔波、籌畫安排。(Haec meditare II, 8 , pp. 179-180) Love, true love, is inventive. When one has fire in one’s heart (not something sentimental and vapid), one finds many initiatives and many […]

過修道生活的人不僅要遵守誡命和一般基督徒的義務，而且必須在一切事務上努力成聖。想法、願望、感受、言語……都必須以耶穌為榜樣。(PrP I, 103) The religious must observe not only the Commandments and the duties of ordinary Christians but must strive for holiness in everything. His/her thoughts, his/her wishes, his/her feelings, […]

虔誠的修道者要非常注意讓自己充滿天主。她總是常與耶穌親密結合：沒有什麼使她分心，沒有什麼使她焦慮，沒有什麼能阻止她上升到天主面前。常與天主結合一起——不僅在祈禱中，而且在她所有的工作中，甚至是微小的事上——就如同聖母一樣。(PrP I, 104) The holy religious has the great concern of filling herself with God. She is always united to Jesus: nothing disturbs her, nothing agitates her, nothing stops her […]

我還有一件事要特別告訴你們：你們有祈禱手冊。裡頭不只有禱文，還有指引。一開始是一種邀請：教導你們如何默想、朝拜聖體、省察等等，你們要常閱讀它。(PrP I, 11) One more thing for you in particular: you have the prayer book. There are not only formulas but also introductions. At the beginning is the invitation: how […]

將這一年獻給天主，為了你的團體將有許多美麗的聖召，並為了每個人能獲得成聖的恩寵。這些祈禱意向激發團結和仁愛，耶穌十分高興並鍾愛你們如心愛的小羊。(PrP I, 114) Offer the year to the Lord to obtain graces for your institute and for each one in particular: to the institute, many beautiful vocations; to each one, […]

悶悶不樂意味著沒有聖召。你們要心存虔誠，以及細膩敏銳的良知，為整個人生帶來歡樂。(PrP I, 117) To be a sourpuss is to have no vocation. Have much piety in your heart, deep delicacy of conscience, which will bring joy to your whole life […]

懇求天上導師吸引所有人進入祂的真理、良善及充滿恩寵的學校。(APD47, 119) Pray to the Divine Master to draw all people to his school of truth, goodness and grace (APD47, 119).

熱心敬禮瑪利亞：即經由瑪利亞去耶穌那裡。(AE, 204) The essence of devotion to Mary is, in other words, to go to Jesus through Mary (AE, 204).

幫助人靈進入天堂，這將是你們的專業與職務：這必須探究、深入他們當中。你們來到這裡要開始想著人靈，要去滿足新的渴求——對人靈的渴求。(PrP I, 118) This will be your profession, your occupation: to help souls to reach Paradise. This needs to enter well into the soul. By entering here, you begin to […]

如果你們在領聖體後只說：「耶穌，我愛你。」祂不會滿意；你們必須加上：「耶穌，我愛祢，我也愛人。」背誦〈愛德經〉，告訴天主：「請使我愛人，就像祢愛了他們一樣。」(PrP I, 119) If after Communion you only say: “Jesus, I love you”, He will not be pleased; you must add: “Jesus, I love you and I love souls”. Recite […]

最後我感到這是一種啟示。我明白這種做法需要耗盡人的一生，我渴望每個人都能明瞭、實踐並活出這種對耶穌導師道路、真理和生命的熱忱，就是傳遞良善，這是給予所愛之人最美麗的禮物。(PrP I, 12) At the end I sensed a revelation. I understood that this practice took up the whole of man’s life and I felt the desire that everyone should […]

使徒工作的職責是闡釋、推廣、傳播救贖的真理，這是教會賦予的。教會是唯一的，有守護神聖真理的任務，她也是在世上的信德導師。(AE, 140) The works of the apostolate have the office to expound, popularize and spread God’s life-saving truths, as set out by the Church, which alone has the task of […]
