保祿家庭代表著在今天的聖保祿，這個家庭要如同生活在今天的聖保祿那樣思考、奮鬥、祈禱，並使自己成聖。（ACV, p. 62） The Pauline Family intends to represent and live St. Paul today; contemplating, striving, praying, and sanctifying themselves as St. Paul would do if he lived today (ACV, p. 62).
我們不要老是渴望一個不必做出犠牲的環境，要其他人完全同意我們的想法和期待；我們也不要總是盼望他人向我們低頭屈服。（FSP-SdC, p. 233） Let us not always expect an environment where there are no sacrifices, where everyone is fully in agreement with our thoughts, our wishes; and let us not pretend to make others always bend to us (FSP-SdC, p. 233).
在編輯室裡，最好的陳設品是福音作者的畫像；最好的標誌和供奉的對象是一本打開的福音書，當中寫著：「種子是天主的話語」。最珍貴的参考書是教父和教會聖師們做了諸多評論的聖經。（AE, 163） A wonderful adornment in an editorial office is a picture of the Evangelists; the best sign and object of veneration is the Gospel opened at the words: «The seed is the Word of God», the most precious reference book is a Bible with an extensive commentary by the Fathers and Doctors of the […]
聖言傳遞的訊息極為豐富，尤其是在聖經年。我們要感謝天主在妳們身上投注了如此多的愛。我們要懇求主，請祂派遣聖神，使我們能按照聖神傳述經文的意思來理解聖經。（FSP61*, p. 289） The dissemination, particularly in this biblical year, is very extensive. We must thank the Lord who has put so much zeal in you. We must tell the Lord that He sends the Holy Spirit and makes us comprehend the Bible in the way the Spirit intended when He dictated the Scripture (FSP61*, […]
思想謙和、言語謙遜、態度謙讓、對待弟兄都要謙恭、有謙虛的心。（RSP, p. 322） The humility of thought, the humility of words, the humility of attitude, the humility towards one’s brothers, the humility of heart (RSP, p. 322).
透過默想，作家的心靈對於可愛的天主聖言，漸漸獲得微妙的見解，而後在不知不覺中，將之轉化成為他的作品。（AE, 163） Through meditation, the writer’s soul will gradually acquire such perceptive and marvellous knowledge of the adorable word of God that he will unconsciously instil it into his writings (AE, 163).
新人的典範就是耶穌基督，因此，要按照耶穌的樣子來生活，按照天主的模式做新人。如果一個人想獻身侍主，就更應該以耶穌基督的思想和情懷來重新塑造自己！（AP 1960, p. 300） The model of the new person is Jesus Christ: to live according to Jesus Christ, who was made human again according to the model of God... All the more so if one wants to live the consecration to the Lord, one must have the thoughts and feelings of Jesus Christ: to […]
天主是愛；促進仁愛及合一精神的人是屬於天主、做天主事的人。分裂的精神不出自天主。讓我們在主內多多建樹。 God is love; and one who promotes the spirit of love and unity is from God and fulfils the works of God. The spirit of division is not of God (CISP, p. 30).
以下這些徵兆與記號可看出我們是否有愛：思想傾向好的，往好的方面解釋，並體諒他人的犯錯。（APD56, 149） The sign by which we can be recognized if we really have love, is this: to be inclined to think of what is good, to deduce well and even to excuse mistakes (APD56, 149).
在井然有序的家庭中有不同的職務分工，如果每人做好自己的本分，家庭生活就會保持聖潔，大家一起不斷在愛主及互愛中走向聖德。（AP 1961, p. 332） In a disciplined family, there are responsibilities and, if everyone does his part well, family life is sanctified, and altogether there is progress in love of the Lord, in mutual love and therefore in holiness (AP 1961, p. 332).
放下對立、批評、誹謗、挑剔別人的過錯、各種覺得不理想或不夠好的安排……。這些無非是在貶低他人而抬高自己的行為。（APD56, 291） To put the disagreements, the criticism, the slander, to find everything done badly what others do, everything arranged badly what is arranged and too little or too imperfect what others do... It is nothing more than working to put others down to raise the ego (APD56, 291).
我們的頭、心、思想、行動、工作、整個福傳工作都要接枝到基督身上。（FSP-SdC, p. 297） Grafting into Christ: the head, the heart, the mind, the activities, the works, the whole apostolate (FSP-SdC, p. 297).
