Ngalesi sisekelo, umholi weSonto Katolika waphakamisa ukuthi yonke imisebenzi yomphakathi — kusukela emnothweni kuya kwezobuciko, kwezemidlalo kuya kwezemfundo — kufanele iqondiswe yisithunzi somuntu. Uphikelele ukuthi intuthuko ayikwazi ukubandakanya ababuthakathaka, nokuthi isimo sabampofu siyisimemezelo esiphuthumayo onembeza womuntu.

Emthethweni wakhe, ingxoxo yeqiniso kufanele isekelwe ekuqashelweni kwesithunzi somuntu ngamunye kanye nokuzibophezela okwenzelwe inhlalakahle yabo bonke. Uphinde wavuselela isimemo esenziwe ngabaphambili bakhe: “Ningesabi! Vulani, ngenzeni ngenhle izicabha kuKristu! UJesu Kristu akasithathi lutho futhi usinika konke.”

Uphinde waveza ukuthi amasiko kufanele agade inkumbulo futhi akhuthaze ingxoxo; ezemfundo, zikhuthaze ukufunwa kweqiniso ngomoya wokuhlaziya; ubuciko, buvuse ukumangala futhi buveze imizwa ephakeme; ibhizinisi, liqaphele isithunzi somuntu; futhi umsebenzi, uqhubeke ube yinjini yethemba.
