體會大法。端賴困屯。

我如迷羊。歧途徬徨。祈主導引。歸於牧場。鑒我丹忱。未忘典章。

靈隲無瑕。實維眞神。愛我以德。降災以懲。

夫天主訓爾如子、爾豈已忘之乎？其言曰：『吾兒莫輕鍛鍊恩、受主懲責毋灰心；正惟主認爾為子、鞭笞備加爾之身。』是知爾所遭受之一切苦痛、所以予爾以磨練也。天主以爾為子、故待爾如此。夫焉有子而不蒙嚴訓者乎？爾若不蒙嚴訓、則為私生子、而非嫡子矣。即吾人肉身之父、亦曾加吾人以訓責矣；而吾人猶孝之順之。矧在吾人靈心之父、不更當孝之順之、以邀永生乎？夫肉身之父之教訓吾人也，不過數春、且多憑其私意而行之；若夫天主之所為、則必於吾人為有益、欲使吾人同化於彼之聖德耳。受訓之時雖不感愉快、但感苦痛；然既經訓練、則必收平安之果、即仁義是已。

爾既守吾寬忍之道、吾亦當於全世之人遭受試練時、保爾於難。

災難不及身。何曾嬰挫辱。佩驕以為飾。擁暴以為服。腦滿腸亦肥。熙熙恣其欲。顏厚口如簧。旁人不在目。誇誕凌雲霄。人寰供浪謔。聖民亦眩惑。薰染於習俗。意謂主無知。高高何所矚。盍看彼群小。嶄然露頭角。心跡蹤雙清。境遇反日蹙。為善而遭殃。何苦自縛束。我若隨聲和。將遺子孫毒。欲探箇中理。枯腸費搜索。嗣蒙主啟牖。恍然有所覺。欲論世間人。應觀其終局。小人處順境。所以成其戮。灼灼何足恃。彈指歸寂寞。夢中雖云歡。覺後應悲哭。悲哭復何及。塵影淪幽壑。曩昔懷不平。牢騷充滿腹。冥頑固不靈。愚蠢同六畜。幸未全離主。更承主教督。迪我以聖謨。入我光榮錄。在天惟有主。在地無他樂。身心雖枯竭。靈魂永有託。背主必淪亡。哀哉諸不淑。親主是良圖。庇恩是上著。會當遠靈異。用抒我心曲。
