按其無窮之光榮、使爾內心生活、得因其聖神而自強不息、

總之、予恃全能之主、故能應付萬變、遊刃有餘耳。

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。

不寧惟是、吾人雖處患難、心中恆有至樂。蓋知患難所以生堅忍、堅忍所以致純熟、純熟則有望、有望則決無失望之虞矣。蓋天主之愛、已憑其所賜於吾人之聖神、而沛然傾注於吾人之心矣。

總之、望爾等托主之庇、賴其神力、發憤自強、而自充以剛毅之氣也。

然主謂吾曰：『吾之聖寵、已足助爾、蓋吾德之彰、即在柔弱中也。』故吾欣然以柔弱為樂、庶幾基督之神德、能常寓吾身。吾為基督之故、凡肉體之柔弱、以及一切侮辱、艱難、窘迫、困苦、皆所甘受。蓋吾之弱、正吾之所以強也。

謙卑溫恭、足以有容、彼此涵忍於愛德之中；

凡我兄弟、應安心忍耐以俟主來。夫農夫之望收穫嘉穀、必須弗助弗忘、以待秋霖春雨之膏澤也。爾亦當學農夫之忍耐、堅定爾心。蓋主之來臨不遠矣。

故吾人立身處世、在在欲自表為天主之忠僕、事事堅忍；故患難也、匱乏也、困苦也、受撻也、監禁也、遘亂也、操作也、守夜也、齋戒也、貞潔也、好學也、克己也、溫和也、聖神之靈感也、篤實之愛德也、

宗徒既離公會、心竊自喜、竟蒙特寵、得為聖名而受辱、何樂如之。

既有見證如雲、萬目睽睽、監臨左右、吾人尚可不以堅忍之志、奮赴前程、徹除一切障礙、解脫罪孽之羈絆、而致景仰於耶穌乎？耶穌者、乃吾人信德之金聲玉振也。曩者彼為前途不可思議之神樂、

我兄弟如陷於殷憂多難之中、則當引以為樂。須知橫逆之來、能磨練爾之信德、使爾堅忍不拔，而堅忍不拔、乃所以玉汝於成、而躋爾於純全無缺之地也。

庶幾造次顛沛無所動心。蓋知受苦受難、實為吾人分內之事。嚮者吾與爾俱、早已預告吾人必有憂患、今果見驗、亦爾等之所親歷也。

是故望吾兒賴耶穌基督之恩寵、再接再勵、自強不息。予在眾證人前所傳授於爾之事、爾亦當傳授於忠實之信徒、令彼亦得轉以傳人。更望與我同勞、庶不愧為基督耶穌之雄兵。

撲滅燎原、脫免刀兵、轉弱為強、奮勇作戰、所向披靡、無一而不憑信德也。再如婦人之子、死而復生、重得團樂；亦有人備受苦刑、不求苟生、俾獲美滿之復活；更有人忍受戲弄鞭撻、桎梏縲絏、種種磨煉、或石擊鋸解、或百般見誘、或死於刀下、或身披綿羊山羊之皮、栖遑外土、造次顛沛、艱苦備嘗；斯輩不見容於世、乃穴居野處、遁跡山林、

明發不能寐。耿耿懷所天。如飢又如渴。心田枯以乾。

為善有恆、追求真光榮、真不朽者、報以永生、

諸聖之恆忍、於斯乎存。諸聖無他、即恪守天主之誡命、與夫耶穌之信條者是。

既有明達、加以克治；既能克治；加以堅忍；既有堅忍、加以虔誠；

吾願其因吾主耶穌基督、受享一切榮、一切尊、一切威、一切權、若永古、若今茲、奕世靡暨、心焉祝之。

然聖神降臨、將賜爾等以神力、而爾等將為予作證、始自耶路撒冷、繼及猶太沙瑪里、終至普天率土、無遠不屆。』

爾等不惟體恤囹圄中人、即自己產業之被劫奪、亦能逆來順受、且欣然自樂、固知另有盡善盡美、可大可久之嗣業在也。惟望毋失勇毅之氣、必有厚報。蓋欲奉行天主之旨而獲所諾、則耐德尚矣。『尚待片晷、須臾之間、彈指之頃、而將臨者自至、其必不復稽延矣！然『為吾之忠僕者、當恃信德而生；若畏首畏尾、非吾心所喜。』
