吾知天主亦必因基督耶穌、按其無窮之蘊藏、日新之光榮饜飫爾之心願也。

此非予之寒酸語也蓋就予一己言之、實已修得隨遇而安、知足常樂之境。窮約之味、予固知之；寬裕之味、予亦知之；一切境遇、予已窺其堂奧、測其深淺、外物何有於我哉。故溫飽可也、凍餓亦可也；有餘可也、不足亦未始不可也。

汝則曰：「人第對父母云我所當奉親者、已獻為禮物、乃無須養其父母。」是爾以人之傳習、廢天主之道也。

故毋事憂慮、曰吾將何食何飲何以敝體。此正異邦人之所營者、爾之有需乎此、天父庸有不知；惟先求天國及其正義、則其餘一切、必加爾身矣。勿為明日慮、蓋明日亦自有其所慮也。一日之累、不已足乎。

我輩身充基督宗徒、不為不貴、然亦未嘗儼然自尊、求榮於爾、或求榮於人、

病者治之、死者起之、癩者淨之、眾魔祛之。爾既無功而受、亦應無酬而施。毋攜金銀錢幣於爾腰帶。首途無行囊、無二衣、無履杖。蓋勞作者、不患無食也。

對於真能守節之寡婦、當敬之重之。凡為寡婦之子孫者、在家中尤應踐履孝道、用報親恩；此事最得天主歡心。

凡善理教務之長老、當倍加優待、尤以從事於傳道及教訓者為然。經云：『碾穀之牛、毋籠其口。』又云：『勞作之人、應得其酬。』

因此吾欲諸兄弟先赴爾處、預為之地、以成全爾等之美意。蓋此事實為美舉、而非有所勉強也。吾今所不能已於言者、則吝以播者、亦吝以收；廣而散者、亦廣而聚也。尤望各自隨意樂助、勿稍存吝嗇或勉強之意。蓋惟以助人為樂者、乃為天主之所樂助耳。且天主全能、必使各種美德暢茂條達於爾等之胸中、俾爾等萬事舉足、無善不俱。經云：『平生疏財、博施濟貧、宜其義德、千秋永存、』此之謂也。夫主既賜爾以種子、供爾以𩝠糧、亦必使爾之種子發榮滋長而為爾激增正義之果實也。蓋爾等既眾德萃身、而發為慷慨之豪舉、吾儕更當將此慷慨、化為眾口誦主之因緣。

彼等雖艱苦備嘗、而神樂恆湧於心中；貧窮至極、而熱情獨異乎尋常；慷慨輸將、惟力是視、甚有超過其力量者；此吾可為之作證也。彼等且再三懇求吾儕、准其同享賑濟聖徒之特恩；而尤使吾儕喜出望外者、則彼等先獻身於主、而後秉承聖意以為吾儕效勞也。以是吾儕亦鼓勵提多繼續向爾等勸募、俾成爾等之美德。
