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).
願保祿家庭完全接枝在基督內。我們決不可離開基督——祂是神聖的橄欖樹、結果實的橄欖樹。無論是一個月、一星期或甚至一天，都不可以不來取食這生命之糧。 May the Pauline Family be completely grafted into Christ. InChrist, the holy olive, the fruit-bearing olive... Let us never leave, neither for a month, nor for a week, nor for a day, without coming to eat this bread of life (FSP59, p. 90).
紀艾沙神父（Canon Chiesa）是保祿家庭的義父。從他那裡，我們得到了信理和靈修上的指引；多年來在各方面，他是我們的日常供應和幫助。他的一生與眾不同，每一項美德都很偉大，值得我們效法；我們每個人和每個行動都應顯示出他的熱忱。 Canon Chiesa was the Godfather of the Pauline Family. From him we received the doctrine, the spirit, and guidance; he was the daily support for many years, in various forms. His life was exceptional and heroic in every virtue; his zeal was shown to every person and every initiative (UPS IV, 7).
哦，聖保祿，你的仁慈使你自己為一切人成為一切，願你也能常看顧我這自私的人……變化我的心，重新喚醒我的愛心、慈善之心、奉獻之心。願你的心取代我的心。 O Saint Paul, who in your charity have made yourself everything to everyone, deign to look also at me who am often selfish... Change my heart: awaken in me feelings of kindness, of charity, of dedication. Make my heart according to your heart (BM, p. 107).
我們的奉獻生活必須不斷地進步：在思想上、在意志上、在心靈上，使耶穌真正成為整個生命的中心，並反覆聖保祿的話：【生活已不是我生活，而是耶穌在我內生活】。 Offering (of self) must be lived with an ever growing rhythm: in the mind... in the will... in the heart... so that Jesus may truly become the centre of all life and we may be able to repeat with Saint Paul: «It is no longer I who live, it is Jesus who lives in […]
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).
