聖保祿是我們的模範

為使我們成聖,必須效法我們的模範,即耶穌。祂是導師;可是,我們不能像耶穌那樣行奇蹟。於是我們有一個可以效法的模範──聖保祿。我們應該照著聖保祿那樣那效法耶穌,看他怎樣做。同時我們也要依靠聖母來這樣做。(戴格蘭修女札記,1952年)

聖保祿是一位完全認識導師的門徒:他完全生活於主,深入探討其道理、內心、聖德、人性和天主性的高深奧秘,看祂為一位博士、犧牲和司祭,並將整個的基督提示給我們,正如基督自己所已經說明過的:道路、真理和生命。(AD , 159)

所以,聖保祿是我們的模範。他說:「你們效法我吧!如同我效法基督一樣。」(格前  十一 ,1)他以自己作為我們的模範;不過,並不是一個絕對的模範,而祇是作為在他效法耶穌基督時的那種形式和方法的榜樣;因為祇有耶穌基督才是真正一切德行的絕對模範。為此,他這樣寫道:「我成為你們的模樣。」(斐  三 17)什麼是「模樣」?你們如果排成了一本書,並編好了頁數,就把這「模樣」放在印刷機上。這就是說,要從這「模樣」上,印出各本書來。聖保祿是模樣;從它上面,要印出保祿會的會士和修女。我們應該奉聖保祿為我們的「模樣」。

他是任何美德的模樣,也是使徒工作的模樣。「原文是耶穌基督,模樣則是聖保祿。」我們應該照著他來訓練自己;就是說,生活、思想、工作、祈禱,如同他那樣思想、工作和祈禱,真正成為屬於聖保祿的會士和修女!

在聖保祿的模子裡陶冶,以複製出耶穌基督的肖像。
