爾等亦當勉成具有生命之小石、俾充建造聖殿之材料、而作神聖之司鐸；仰賴耶穌基督、奉獻精神上之祭祀以望天主之悅納、

抑陶人於泥無自由處置之權、而不能於同一撮土中、製成貴賤不同之器耶？若天主欲宣其威而彰其德、對於可惡可毀之器、已予百般容忍、而對於吾人預定為榮貴之器、沛加恩澤、以揚其無窮之榮、

然此真光之在吾人、猶珍寶之藏於瓦器也。應知可貴者在天主之德、而不在吾人之身。

俾汝知曉任事於天主宅第中者、應如何修身砥行。天主宅第者、即永生天主之教會、而真道之柱石也。

爾豈不知爾乃天主之宮殿、天主聖神之所寓乎？人而毀傷天主之宮殿、則天主必棄絕之；應知天主之宮殿至為聖潔、而爾實天主之宮殿也。

吾儕乃天主所假之手、爾等則為天主之田園、天主之第宅也。

爾等亦為此廣廈之一部、聖神所建於同一隅石之上、以供天主之居停者也。

耶穌之盡忠於天主、猶摩西之盡忠於天主之第宅；而耶穌之貴於摩西亦猶建造第宅者之貴於第宅。蓋建造第宅者、人也、而建造宇宙萬有者、天主也。且摩西不過天主全宅中之一忠僕、而傳達天主之聖諭者也；惟基督則為嗣子乃聖宅之主人也。聖宅者何、吾人是已；亦在吾人常存蓬勃之朝氣、與夫浩然之望德、堅忍不拔、莫負初心而已矣。
