愛德

愛德首先呈現於思想，然後擴及情感與言行，使你們成為樂於助人、心地善良、有同理心又寬大為懷的人；而不是導致在團體中難以接納他人。 Charity is first in thoughts, then in feelings, words and actions. Be helpful, people of great goodness, people who sympathize, who understand; not people who ometimes make it so difficult to bear one another in community (FSP-SdC, p. 87).

雖然修會之間各自為政，卻有一條密切連繫的愛德鎖鏈，比那血統的鎖鏈更高貴。 There is separation between the Congregations; yet there is an intimate bond of charity, nobler than the bond of blood (AD, 35).

在超性德行中，第三個是愛德，一方面它最為困難，另一方面，功勞卻最為豐厚，也是唯一永世長存的。 Among the theological virtues, the third one, charity, is the virtue that on the one hand is the most difficult and, on the other, the richest in merit and is also the only one that remains forever (APD56, 448).
