当你有真正的基督信仰时，受苦受难，忍受殉道是很甜蜜的。
Nothingfrightens, nothing detracts, nothing is discouraging when it comes to the HolyWill of Him who died for us.

Throughoutmy life I suffered much while on earth. I was accused, I carried a burden ofaccusations.
在我的一生中，我在世上遭受了许多苦难。我被控告，我背负着被指控的重担。
When thelove of God is based in souls, everything becomes light so that one does notfeel the arrival of greater pain.
当灵魂以天主的爱为基础时，一切都变得轻松，这样你就不会感到更大痛苦的到来。
Sufferingon behalf of men is very sweet because we feel superhuman strength that comesfrom Above and gives us courage so that we are ready to face all dangers, allthreats and all condemnations...
为人类受苦是非常甜蜜的，因为我们感到来自上面的超人的力量，给了我们勇气，让我们准备好面对所有的危险，所有的威胁和所有的谴责……
Our Lordhas planted in our hearts the vigour of courage and Hope to revive in us alively faith, a love so strong, that God has great recognition. (i.e., isrecognised as part of this great work of suffering and receives much honour andglory?)
我们的上主已在我们的心里种下勇气的活力和希望，要在我们心里恢复一个活泼的信心，一个如此坚强的爱，使天主得到极大的尊荣。(即，被认为是这伟大的苦难工作的一部分，并获得许多荣誉和光荣?)
（评注：当人在经历危险、威胁、谴责时，仍然靠着上主所种下的勇气、希望信心、爱而见证天主时，天主便得到极大的尊荣。因为这说明无论任何外在的环境都不能使我们与天主的爱隔绝。一切在天主的爱面前，都是浮云。）

Our sweetLord did not put us on earth to enjoy and relax or to be perfectly happy. Hehas placed us on earth to love Him first and then to make us participants ofHis Divine Kingdom.

When Hesends His dear cross, He desires that we be occupied with Him and His Cross. Hewants everything else to disappear.

If Godoverwhelms you, it is a sign that He loves you, He prepares you, that Hedestines you and you are predestined, like workers for a great work.

我要为所有在十字架上和超越十字架的弟兄们祈祷，因为你们在世上都是为十字架做工的人，为天主的工作而劳动的人，为天主圣三工作的工人。
（评注：近日在平静风浪公众号，阅读众多在上世纪五十年代到八十年代，持守信仰的基督新教的基督的仆人传记，常常慨然落泪。他们遭受二三十年的折磨苦待，下监牢，受劳教，被批斗；他们所表现的为主殉道背十字架的生命，实在与这里所言极其一致。当然，天主教的弟兄姊妹所受之苦只能更多，在人看来，他们浪费了许多青春时日在狱中，可是在实际上，是我们浪费了许多宝贵时间，那无论在任何环境中都忠心于上主的人，才是不白活一回。如今，我们要同样走这条十字架之路，天主、众圣徒、天使们在天上看着我们呢！）
