"A gesture of generosity is also a sign of confidence, it means that we have full confidence in the Church; we believe that the mercy and justice of God are infinite."

"Thirty years of sowing and watering have allowed Radio Veritas in Taiwan to collect flowers and fruits of evangelisation. Let us ask the Lord to continue to guide our work of evangelising over the radio."

"In relations with China the trouble is, if China wants an independent Church this will always be outside the universal Church and will also be an obstacle to relations with the Holy See. However we pray and we hope the future will be better."

"We bishops have urged the people to keep praying for the patients and for the medical staff fighting the disease and to provide all the necessary assistance. I want to express my deep appreciation for all that the doctors and nurses are doing even risking their own lives to help the patients recover. I would encourage Chinese Catholics to sustain the doctors and nurses with their prayers offering all the love and solidarity possible. I call on the whole human community to unite to overcome SARS."

"Christians should learn to treasure and appreciate their origins, by protecting them. Over the 135 years of the diocese's history of evangelization, we have three churches that have been in existence for over a century. We have seen so many foreign missionaries that have left their homelands and all they had to come to this island. They have left us an immense treasure of manuscripts, historical objects, monuments, poems, sacred music...and, above all, their own impressive testimony. The life of the diocese in itself is a monument built by missionary pioneers. We have the duty of conserving it with care, as a pearl of great price."

"We should open our ears to listen to the voice of the needy around us; we should open our hearts to better see these needy; we should move our feet and hands to carry out our service. The most important is to always have a compassionate heart that is filled with merciful love for the needy, helping them to emerge from the dark valley of life and journey towards the light of the sun."

"The effort to Christianize the family is a journey that should never end. When there is a healthy family, there is a healthy church."

"The ideal reconciliation should come from religion. But this kind of concept should come from either the Protestants or the Catholics, because we Christians have this kind of idea we have this kind of solidarity — whereas other religions don't care about this."

"May the Lord bless you. May He carry you through the pandemic, give salvation to the dead, health to the sick, work for everyone. I also pray for priests who are victims of pressure."

"Regardless of the problems in the family they can live a happy life. This is translated in mutual care in respect for each other."

"There are many temptations facing bishops as well, but they don't fall into the traps that have been set as they encounter them. Everyone should thank God for his protection and for his blessing."

"They are so active, they are so alive. The joy is really important. Many times I encourage the migrant, "Remember you are the missionary, the Holy Spirit sends you to Taiwan, for a lay mission, maybe with your testimony the local people will be contacted with Jesus. influence"

"My hope is that the spiritual life of both priests and religious in Taiwan be deepened. At present, I think it is too superficial. Really, in spiritual life we, whether diocesan or religious, are not up to the mark. There is no clear and deep desire to grow day by day in the spiritual life. We are just jogging along with our mediocre routine. Today’s digital culture with all its fascinations may be a reason for this general defect. As a young man in Europe, I witnessed how the faithful in general liked religious clergy more than diocesan clergy. The reason was that religious clergy appeared to them as more fervent than diocesan clergy. Now, I think that, unfortunately, also religious clergy has come down to our level of lukewarm diocesan clergy."
