愛德

「哪裡有仁愛，那裡就有天主」，倘若破壞了愛德，或者出現對立的判斷、批評、反感，或者有思想和行動上的分裂，漸漸地，天主的臨在就會減少。在愛德中團結一致，就會有平安、有聖德。 «Where there is charity, there is God», or the presence of God is lost as the bonds of charity are broken or contrary judgments or criticisms or dislikes or divisions of thought and activity arise. With unity in charity there is peace and there is holiness (AP 1958/2, pp. 140-141).

聖保祿勸告我們要彼此相愛，就像我們組成一個家庭一樣，或者說，只有一個身體和一個靈魂，大家也承擔彼此的過錯。 Saint Paul exhorts us to love one another as if we were forming a family, or rather, a single body and a single soul, bearing one another’s defects (APim, p. 60)

作者（與編輯）、技術人員和行銷人員緊密地聯繫在一起。只有在這種結合中，我們才能為人靈提供益處。 The author, the technician, and the propagandist are deeply united. Only in this union do we attain the good of souls (RSP, p. 548).

聖保祿留下長老們延續他的工作，他常以書信和話語陪伴他們；他渴望得知他們的消息，他在精神上與他們連結在一起，為他們祈禱。 Saint Paul used to entrust to some priests to continue his work; he often used to return there with his word and writing; he wanted news, he was with them in spirit, he prayed for them (APim, p. 227).

信德透過愛德而工作，使我們與耶穌基督結合，在耶穌基督內，聖德——天主的生命——成了血肉之軀。不單如此，它在我們內創造新人，被耶穌基督的精神所激勵的新人。 Faith, working through charity, unites us to Jesus Christ in whom holiness, the divine life, is incarnated. It does more: it creates in us a new being, animated by the spirit of Jesus Christ (DF, 64).
