迫害是煽動德行火焰的風箱：天主容許迫害，因為缺少迫害，我們的力量將漸次寂滅， 無法正確行事。 Persecution is the bellows that fans the flame of our virtue: if it were lacking—which God forbid—our strength would die away and not perform its task rightly.

由於大自然的豐厚恩賜，運氣好的世俗人， 亦同樣更成功地熱心顯露主的光榮。 Those who in the world would, through nature’s bounty, have met with the best fortune have likewise greater success in zealously showing forth the glory of God.

為得救而抵抗魔鬼，必須利用魔鬼濫用於毀滅我們的武器對付牠。 We must use the same weapons against the devil for our salvation as he abuses for our destruction.

理應禁止超越規定的公開克己苦身； 勿忘聽命勝過犧牲，也避免我們愚妄地自吹自擂。

當事事順遂時，要小心提防， 以免並非一切都像事奉天主那麼好。 When everything goes favorably, beware lest all is not so well as it might be with the service of God.

為賺得所有人，明智的捕人漁夫該使自己適應一切，儘管嘗試成功不大。 The wise fisher of men, in order to gain all, ought to attune himself to all, even though his attempts have small success.

我們曾濫用身心的力量，違背天主的法律行事， 現藉著補贖，重新活在恩寵中，讓我們用同樣的力量，改善生命。 As we have made a bad use of the powers of our body and mind in acting against God’s law, so, now that by penance we have been restored to grace, let us use the same powers to amend our lives.

內心抗拒，勉強執行長上命令的人， 應歸為最卑鄙的奴僕。 They who, though they indeed do what their superiors order, yet do it unwillingly and without interior consent, are to be numbered with the vilest slaves.

很少人知道，如果完全委順於主手中， 天主會為他們做甚麼。 How few people realize what God would do for them if they were to give themselves up wholly into his hands!

不但要繼續彼此相愛、互相珍惜， 更要向所有人傳達這愛。 Not only ought you to continually love and cherish each other but to communicate that love to all men.

為得救而善用耶穌聖血恩賜的人是多麼少呀。 How few there are who use for their salvation the gift of Jesus’ Blood!

既然天主提供你多樣援助及方法， 向著你被召叫的目標悉力以赴。 Strive after the end to which you are called with all your might, since God has supplied you with so many aids and means thereto.
