在一些團體內，人們總是面帶微笑；在那裡，你可以看到所有的人都平靜和睦；你覺得那裡真的有種保祿家庭的氣氛：親切的、相互理解的、憐憫的，不斷彼此互相幫助。天主住在那裡，姐妹們與祂一起生活。 In some houses there is always a smile; there one sees a serenity in all of them; one feels that there is truly a Pauline environment, cordial, of mutual understanding, piety, and of constant and mutual help. There resides the Lord and the sisters dwell with the Lord (FSP-SdC, p. 355).
教宗若望二十三世這位好教宗永遠留在我們心中。紀念他的方式，就是承諾去學習和遵循他在《慈母與導師》及《和平於世》通諭中留給我們的教導。但最重要的是，我們致力遵循他作為好牧人所給予我們的榜樣。 The memory of the good Pope (John XXIII) remains with us always. And in his memory, there is the commitment to study and follow the teachings he taught us in the Encyclical Mater et Magistra and Pacem in Terris. But above all, there remains a commitment to follow the example that he left us […]
團體是什麼意思？它意味著聚集……如果修會的精神擴及到全體身上，全體在聖神的行動中工作，大家的意向純正，並且首先致力於個人的成聖和修會的使徒工作，天主對此將十分高興。 What does the Congregation mean? It means an assembly... And it pleases the Lord if His Spirit is diffused in all of them and all of them work under the action of the Holy Spirit, always with the right intention and always in the desire that the first two articles be practiced: individual sanctification […]
耶穌毫不厭倦地寬恕，而且每週、每天都在寬恕我們；讓我們去寬恕他人，如同我們希望自己被主寬恕那樣。 Jesus forgave with such breadth and he forgives us every week, every day: let us forgive others as we want to be forgiven ourselves (AP 1959, p. 126).
追求聖善不代表要貶低他人，而是自身在謙卑、信德和愛中提升到天主前。為了高舉自己而壓迫他人是自私的行為。 To strive for holiness is not to lower others, it is to raise ourselves up to God in humility and in faith and love. To lower others in order to elevate ourselves is, after all, the very essence of selfishness (APD56, 291).
一個人進步的標記是他更加瞭解自己，因為在他更瞭解自己之前，他不會改變，甚至不會想到自己需要改進。 The sign that one is progressing is precisely that of getting to know one another better, because until one gets to know each other better, one does not change or even suspect that one has to improve (FSP58, p. 246).
理論、思維模式、推理和行動、使徒的職務，這些必須是一個整體；我們不能把一件事情與另一件事情分開。 The discussion, the ways of thinking, reasoning, and action, the exercise of the apostolate, must form a whole, we cannot separate one thing from the other (FSP58, p. 146).
你以慷慨的心說：「我全然獻出自己，我奉獻，我奉獻我的一切。」奉獻的價值繫於這樣的態度——全部！就是全心全意地愛主，以全部的力量，全部的意志去愛主。 You have said with generous heart the words: «I wholly give, offer, consecrate myself». The value of the offering lies especially in this adjective: whole, which means loving the Lord with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your strength, and with all your will (AAP60, 634).
所有的人都蒙召成聖。只有一個召叫，所以只有一個身體：你們要感到彼此是一個身體及合一的精神，正如你們蒙召，同有一個希望一樣。（參弗四4） All are called to holiness. And just as there is only one vocation, so there is only one body: consider yourselves a moral body; a single spirit: a union of spirits; like a single hope... (AP 1958/2, p. 141).
賈卡鐸神父進入聖保祿會，他的名字前面加上「導師」這個稱號時，他把自己導向天上導師；他明白了自己的職責是什麼；他忠信地履行了這項職責。 Master Giaccardo not only had a great heart, but also a broad mind. When he entered the Society of Saint Paul and to him was added as ordinary title that of “Master”, he oriented himself toward the divine Master and understood what role he had to fill; and he accomplished it faithfully (RSP, p.348).
玫瑰經祈禱十分容易又有效果，無論何時何地皆可做，適合所有人。你們要祈求知道如何善念玫瑰經，默想每端奥蹟，在每個奥蹟中祈求特别的恩典。 Devotion to the rosary is a devotion that is easy, efficacious, and adapted to all times, places, and persons. Each mystery proposes for us teaching to extract, a virtue to practice, a grace to ask (RSP, p. 61).
「捨棄自己」並不捨掉對他人的義務，而是向外擴展，許多時候在接受職務，為團體、為修會服務時，需要自我犠牲。 This self-denial is not confined to obligations towards one another but extends outwards. Self-denial is often a requisite for taking up an office and offering one’s services for the needs of the community and the Congregation. «One heart, one soul» (UPS IV, 221).
