我們勤讀聖保祿的書信，就能清楚明白他的想法：他的論證和他所寫的每一句話，都是符合基督的；亦即把福音的神聖教導應用在生活和所處的環境中。 If we read the Letters of St. Paul we understand well what was his thinking: his reasoning, and every word he wrote, was conformed to Christ; it was an application of the divine doctrine of the Gospel to life, to circumstances (AP 1958/1, p.175).
必須捨棄一切——想法、喜好、傾向、處事的方式等等，得以獲取新的心、新的思想和新的處事方式……。在此，成功的典範有瑪利亞、耶穌和聖保祿。 You have to give up everything: your way of thinking, the preferences you had, the trends and then the ways of dealing; you have to have a new heart, a new mind and a new way of working.... And the examples are there: Mary, Jesus, Saint Paul (AP 1960, p. 98).
聖體是偉大的轉化工具：在其中，靈魂感到與耶穌親近，在其中，靈魂接受耶穌的想法，感受到耶稣的心和耶穌的意願。 Communion is a great means for transformation: it is there that the soul feels close to Jesus, it is there that the soul adopts the way of thinking of Jesus and the feelings of Jesus’ heart and the will of Jesus (AP 1960, p. 100).
只有一個身體：即使在物質方面，也要彼此幫忙，如此是幫助了修會整體。只有一個精神：也就是你們都採用同樣的祈禱方式。只有一個希望：就是追求至善，邁向【將得到百倍的賞報並擁有永生】的目標。 Only one body: even in material things, one to help the others, and to help the whole Institute. Only one spirit: the same way of praying. One single hope, and that is all aimed at perfection, towards the «centuplum accipietis, et vitam aeternam possidebitis» (AP 1960, pp. 201-202).
傳遞給我們的「聖保祿模式」不是外在的，而是要把他的特質發揮得淋漓盡致：他的心態、美德、熱忱、虔敬等等。保祿家庭有很多成員，應是活生生的聖保祿住在團體中。 The mould St. Paul is not for a physical replication of his bodily features, but for communicating his personality to us to the maximum: his mentality, virtue, zeal, piety... everything. The Pauline Family, composed of many members, is Saint Paul living in a social body (ACV, p. 63).
少了謙虛，不能建樹什麼；在謙虛中，蕴含著我們的成聖和人性的幸福。驕傲的人，即使現在過得好，到了最後也會發現自己的悲慘。謙虛使人親近天主、親近人。謙虛就是真理。 Without humility nothing is achieved; in humility, instead, we find our sanctification and human happiness itself. The proud, even in the present life, will end up feeling bad... Humility makes man dear to God and dear to men. Humility is truth (RSP, p. 319).
「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).
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).
透過聖保祿的書信去認識並默想他的生活和工作；按照他的方式來思考、推理、說話和行動；並祈求他父愛的幫助。 Know and meditate on Saint Paul in his life, works, and letters; think, reason, speak, and work according to him; and invoke his paternal assistance (ACV, p. 63).
