如果我們想真正深入天上導師的精神，進入祂降生成人的意願，我們必須有同樣的生活計畫：第一，在耶穌基督內，與祂一起光榮天父；第二，透過福傳活動，為天主子道成肉身的使命——也就是為人與人之間的和平，作出貢獻（APD58, 288） If we really desire to enter into the spirit of the Divine Master, into the intentions whereby he became incarnate, we must have the same programme of life: first, to glorify God in Jesus Christ, with Jesus Christ; and second, to contribute through the apostolate to the second mission of the incarnate Son […]
耶穌召喚牧羊人和賢士馬槽前。天使邀請的第一批是牧羊人，他們去了，找到那嬰孩，就朝拜了祂。不是富有的人，不是聰明的人，不是有權勢的人，不是有地位的人拔得頭籌；而是窮人、謙卑的人、單純的人……（BM, p. 288）. Jesus called the shepherds and the wise men to his cradle. The shepherds were the first, invited by the Angels... And they went, and they found the child, and they worshipped him. Not the rich, not the wise, not the powerful, not the dignitaries were called first; but the poor, the humble, […]
今年即將結束，那些曾經聖化自己日子的將歡欣鼓舞！這一年得以聖化是因為忠信地回應了天主，以及為天主而作的感恩工作。願光榮歸於聖父、聖子和聖神，願天主的祝福降臨到妳們每個人身上，並時常與妳們在一起。（FSP59, p. 197）. The year is ending and how happy are those who have sanctified their days! ... And this sanctification of the year is the faithful correspondence and gratefulness of works done for the Lord. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. May God’s blessing descend upon […]
主啊，請使我常行走在光明中……讓我在世上開始完美地崇敬祢至高的尊威，日後在天上也繼續進行。（BM, 521） Lord, let me always walk in the light... Allow me to begin on earth a perfect worship of your Majesty, so that I can continue it in heaven (BM, 521).
正如天主聖言在最聖潔的貞女子宮中取了血肉，聖體也是保存在最貴重的金屬聖體盒裡；所以，天主聖言被賦以最高貴的形式也是合宜的。（AE, 142） Just as the Word of God became incarnate in the most pure womb of the holiest of Virgins, and the Eucharist is kept in ciboria of precious metal, so is it fitting that the word of God be clothed in the noblest form (AE, 142).
想一想耶穌基督——天主之子——成為我們的道路，藉著跟隨祂，我們可以抵達天父和天堂的榮耀，我們承諾學習祂神聖的榜樣，在生活中效法實行。（AE, 96） Reflect that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became our Way and that by following Him we can reach the Father and heavenly glory. Consequently, we promise to study these divine examples so as to reproduce them in our own life (AE, 96).
出版的使徒必須具備一個與眾不同的特色：就是對聖經的崇敬！（AE, 121） The apostle of the edition has to distinguish himself for a particular characteristic, which is that of the veneration of Holy Scripture (AE, 121).
耶穌會拉比德神父（Cornelio A Lapide）說：福音是基督之書……，是最喜樂的救贖訊息。因此，閱讀或聆聽福音書，就是閱讀或聆聽天主之子的聲音。我們必須懷著敬畏之心去聆聽福音，如同聆聽耶穌基督本人一樣。（AE, 127） Cornelius a Lapide says: «The Gospel is Christ’s book…; it is the most joyful message of the Redemption. For this reason, to read or to hear the Gospel is to listen to or to hear the very voice of the Son of God. The Gospel must be listened to with as […]
耶穌受洗後，正在祈禱時，天開了，聽到了天父的聲音。父揭示了祂的兒子，彰顯出來（揭示的意思是彰顯）。就像是向人介绍，以便他們聽從祂的話，並跟隨祂。（APD57, 11） After Jesus was baptized and was praying, the heavens opened and the voice of the heavenly Father was heard, who revealed, manifested (epiphany means manifestation) his Son... It was like a presentation to men so that they may hear, follow him (APD57, 11).
使徒不會缺乏天主的恩典，倘若他在理智、道德和心靈上做了必要的預備，假使他是在天主的恩寵內從事寫作；或者更確切地說，他以一顆真實愛天主和愛人靈的心，以祈禱和刻苦來完成工作。（AE, 143） The apostle will never lack God’s grace if he has made the necessary intellectual, moral, and spiritual preparation; if he writes in God’s grace, or rather, with a heart that is full of love of God and of his fellow human beings, and he seals his work with prayer and sacrifice (AE, 143).
跟隨耶穌基督的道路，是步履祂的行蹤（堅定意志）。追隨耶穌基督的真理，是聽從祂的教理（堅定理智）。跟隨耶穌基督的生命，是在祂的愛和恩典中生活（堅定情感和精神）。（AE, 39） Follow Jesus Christ Way – walking in his steps (adherence of one’s will). Follow Jesus Christ Truth – listening to his doctrine (adherence of one’s intellect). Follow Jesus Christ Life – living in his love and in his grace (adherence of one’s sentiment and spirit) (AE, 39).
我們在洗禮中領受恩竉的生命，在堅振中使它增長，在和好聖事中修補它，在聖體聖事中走向至善。我們必須與耶穌的生命聯合起來，透過感恩祭、默想、聖體聖事和朝拜聖體來增加我們身上的恩寵。然後我們的理智、意志和心就變成是耶穌的。（PrP I, 11） We receive the life of grace in baptism, we increase it in confirmation, we repair it in penance, we perfect it in the Eucharist. We must unite with Jesus Life by increasing the grace in us with Mass, Meditations, Communions, Visits. Then it happens that the mind, the will, the heart become […]
