因是爾當拓開心胸、歡欣雀躍。蓋爾目前雖不免殷憂多難、然此乃所以鍛鍊爾之信德、而於耶穌基督顯現之日、玉成爾之光榮及天爵耳。夫黃金乃必朽之物、尚且以火煉之；而信德固貴於黃金也。

凡真心奉事基督耶穌、而實踐其道者、靡有不遭受危難迫辱。

而先遣從事基督福音之天主忠僕、兄弟蒂茂德、前來慰問、以堅爾之信德、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。

務希堅信不拔、全力以抗。應知普世兄弟、現正遭受同一患難。

爾等所遭遇之試探、固無一而非人性所能忍受者也。且天主至誠無妄、決不容爾受不能忍受之試探；苟有試探、亦必為爾預留出路、使爾必能忍受也。

要之各人之工作、終必昭然若揭、無可隱匿。在主之日、主將以炬火燭照各人之工程、且加以煆煉焉。

今日爾等則不復醉生夢死、同乎流俗、而世人乃以為咄咄怪事、大施謗毀。
