愛這位先愛了你們的天主，祂從永恆就想到你們。祂讓你們生在虔誠的家庭，在一個天主教的國家，在你們內安放了善的傾向；祂給了你們聖召的恩典。你們要愛這位如此寵愛你們的天主。(APD47, 494) Love this God who first loved you and who has been thinking of you from all eternity. He has given you birth in pious families, in a Christian […]
你們要有信心，不要懷疑！耶穌說：「假如你們有像芥子那麼大的信德，你們向這座山說：從這邊移到那邊去！它必會移過去的。」你們有這樣的信德嗎？你們有至少像芥子一樣的信德嗎？很多時候，我們對於道理相信不疑，但在日常生活中，信德卻脆弱不堪！你們要堅信不疑！(APD47, 52) May you have faith and do not doubt! Jesus says: “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you would be able to say to this […]
耶穌以身作則，祂以聖體的形貌，慈愛又安靜地保持沉默。……你要常藉著朝拜聖體來陪伴耶穌，你必須趕快學會像祂那樣的生活。耶穌聖體是最有吸引力、最完美的模範。(APD47, 522) Jesus makes silence, lovingly keeping silent according to his eucharistic state; he teaches and lives... You who often keep Jesus’ company through the Visit, the Adoration, you should […]
學習仁愛。愛，愛，愛！……不僅思想要好，心態要好，還要說好話、做好事。你要讓生活變得美好，使和你一起生活的人更快樂……不再悲傷、生氣與嫉妒，在和平、喜悅及愛中行走。(APD47, 528) Learn charity. Love, love, love!... It is not only to think well but to desire what is good, to speak well and to do good when you can. […]
保持平靜安詳，並且像確知必獲得恩寵那樣，欣喜盼望。(APD47, 53) Stay calm, serene, and await the graces as if they were already obtained (APD47, 53).
我們的獻身必須具備不斷邁步向前的生活節奏：經常思及天主……意志完全服從天主的旨意……內心的情感委順於天主的愛，讓耶穌真正成為生活的中心。(APD47, 56) Donation must be lived with an ever-progressive rhythm: in the mind with frequent thought of God... in the will with perfect submission to the divine will... in the […]
啊，天地的主宰、普世的救主！請祢指引、聖化並統管我們今天的心思與工作，使我們的意念、感受和言行，都符合祢的律法及誡命，讓我們在世上就獲得永恆的救贖和自由。(BM, 40) Lord, God of heaven and earth, direct and sanctify, reign and govern today our hearts and our works, the senses, the discourses, the acts in the observance of […]
把自己交給天主，意味著忘記自我，把自己的身心靈全託付給祂；換句話說，也就是把自己所有的力量、志向、感受、渴望、恐懼與希望都交给祂。在履行自身職責時服務祂，全心全意地愛祂。(APD47, 58) To give oneself to God means to forget oneself and to entrust to him one’s soul and body; it means giving him all of one’s own powers, aspirations, […]
逐漸認識善牧之母；越來越忠實地仿效她；越來越虔誠地向她祈禱；越來越頻繁地在牧民工作中，向所有人講論她。(PrP I, 19) To get to know the Mother of the Divine Shepherd better and better; to imitate her ever more faithfully; to pray to her with ever greater piety; […]
潛在的聖召比入會的人還要多。不要因我們的緣故而失去他們。天主已經預備了這些靈魂，預備他們具有的特點。我們必須合作，為他們開路，為他們開門。首先是祈禱，然後是邀請、行動與工作。(APD47, 592) Vocations are much more numerous than those who come. Let no vocation be lost through any fault of ours. God prepared that person, with those certain dispositions for […]
關於聖召，某些人有時是真的懶惰、輕視他人、不冷不熱或簡直完全冷漠。事實上，愛修會的人為了證明自己的愛，會為修會的益處而盡力合作。為我們保祿家庭的首要益處就是會士人數——有更多的人，更好的人。(APD47, 593) With regard to vocations in some persons at times, there is real laziness, disrespect, indifference, lukewarmness. In reality, the person who loves the Institute gives proof of this […]
無論去到那裡，人都會带著缺點，所以不要自作主張另尋他處，而是留在主召叫你要待的地方。在那裡你會找到得以改正、進步、成聖的恩寵。(APD47, 62) Wherever we go, we take with us our “I” with all its defects, so let no one be deceived, but to remain where the Lord called her. It […]
