瑪大忙於治席、向主訴曰：『妹任我獨自操勞、主寧無顧？請命之起而襄助。』主應曰：『瑪大！瑪大！爾煩心焦慮、所務何多！然所需者、一而已矣！瑪麗所選、乃其善者、志之所在、不可奪也。』

亦所以償吾心期、終不致有所愧忝。因是平生勇氣、至今未衰。必欲獻吾之身、以弘基督。生可也、死亦可也。

又有先知亞納者、屬亞瑟枝派、法孥阨之女也；自童身後、與夫同居七載、遂守寡至今、年已八十有四歲矣；平生不離聖殿、朝暮嚴齋祈禱。

兄弟乎、我憑天主之仁慈、剴切求爾獻身天主、而為有生之犧牲、聖潔無疵、以邀天主之悅納；此即內心事主之道也。弗可閹然媚世、希俗取容；務求變化氣質、重建新心。蓋惟如此、方能體驗天主盡善盡美之聖意耳。

凡此猶屬外事、若諸會之事、尤為予所日日挂心者。

蓋主曾出重價以贖之矣。故爾亟宜在爾身上光榮天主也。

曷一思之、爾等既循聖道而憂戚、其效果為何如耶？爾等因憂戚而儆惕、而反省、而發憤、而小心翼翼、而發揚蹈厲、而至誠無妄、而疾惡如讎矣。爾之處此事、實無在而不自證其為貞固也。夫吾之所以寓書於爾等者、固非為彼作惡者之故、亦非為被害者之故、惟欲在天主明鑒之下、測驗爾等對於吾儕之誠意云耳。

願和平之天主、躬自成全爾之聖德、保爾心靈形體之純粹無疵、以迨吾主耶穌基督之來臨。

此言也、真實無妄。願爾以此事切實講明、務使信奉天主之人、兢兢業業、為善毋懈。此事也、盡善盡美、裨益人群。

蓋不能自齊其家者、焉能治理天主之教會乎？

亦毋將爾四肢百體、獻之於罪、以作不義之器。務須獻身於天主、一若新自死中復活也者；如是則爾之四肢百體、乃成為昭事天主之義器、

多謝天主、使提多對爾等關懷至切、
