十分容易理解對瑪利亞敬禮的真諦，那就是：為瑪利亞去找耶穌，「為瑪利亞走向耶穌」。（AE, 204） It will be easy to understand the essence of devotion to Mary which is, in other words, «to go to Jesus through Mary» (AE, 204).

若瑟對馬槽裡的耶穌，增長的愛是多麼大啊！馬槽一景向我們展示若瑟向嬰孩耶穌的讚嘆與祈禱。當他不得不帶耶穌逃去埃及時，他對耶穌的愛又增長了多少！在納匝肋親密的家庭生活裡，更是如此！（RSP, p. 446） How much the love for Jesus grew in Joseph, in the Manger! The Nativity scene always presents us with Saint Joseph in the act of admiring and […]

我俯伏在祢的馬槽前，啊！我的耶穌。我承認祢是我的天主、我的導師、我的救世主。我愛祢；我把我自己放在祢的學校裡，有如謙卑的弟子，在我生命中的每一天跟隨祢。（BM, p. 287） I prostrate myself before your cradle, O my Jesus: I recognize you as my God, my Master, my Saviour... I love you; I attend your school to […]

納匝肋的聖家為我們提供了奉獻生活的最佳範例。多麼細膩的觀察力！多麼相互尊重！多麼彼此關懷！無論是喜是悲，是考驗或慰藉，一切都共同分享。（UPS IV, 220） The Family of Nazareth has given us in this world the best example of such religious family life. Such attention paid to one another! Such mutual respect […]

馬槽是耶穌的第一所學校，我要進入這所學校，學習祂天上的課程。（BM, p. 287）. The manger is Jesus’ first school: I desire to enter it to learn his divine lessons (BM, p. 287).

你們要成為小孩，因為耶穌祂自己先成為小孩子，在山洞裡我們發現祂成了嬰孩，因此，人無論有多偉大，也不能找到自誇的理由。（RSP, p. 320）. To be like children, because He Himself became a child. And there he is in the grotto. He became a child so that no man, however great […]

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: […]

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 […]
