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 he may be, would find within himself a reason to exalt himself, to be proud of himself (RSP, p. 320).

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).

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 and concern! Everything was in common: joys and sufferings, trials and consolations (UPS IV, 220).
