Descrição da imagem
Leave each one then in his condition and way of living. God made them as they are. They are disposed to do everything for the best. You must encourage them and they will do it, each according to what is given him from on high.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, VIII, 113, 1844.
Laissez donc chacun dans son état et manière d’être. Dieu les a faits comme ils sont. Ils sont disposés à faire tout pour le bien. Il faut les encourager, et ils le feront chacun selon ce qu’il sera donné d’en-haut.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, VIII, 113, 1844.
Deixe então cada um no seu estado e maneira de ser. Deus os fez como eles são. Eles estão dispostos a fazer tudo pelo bem. É preciso encorajá-los, e cada um fará segundo o que lhe for dado do alto.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, VIII, 113, 1844.

Abandonment is the perfection of patience. When one has reached this state, the person rests in God, gives himself up completely and no longer wants to act of himself. He allows himself to be totally directed by God, according to his wishes. It is a state of continuous availability.
Jean Gay: Libermann - quoting Le Vavasseur, p. 112
L’abandon est la perfection de la patience...Dans l’état de véritable abandon, l’âme se repose sur son Bien-Aimé, se livre toute entière, ne veut plus avoir d’action propre. Elle se laisse manier par lui, comme il lui plaît... L’abandon, c’est l’état de totale disponibilité (anéantissement) continuelle de tout nous-mêmes à tous ses bons plaisirs.
Jean Gay, in ‘Libermann’, citant Le Vavasseur, p.112
O abandono é a perfeição da paciência... No estado de verdadeiro abandono, a alma repousa no seu Bem-Amado, entrega-se totalmente a ele, não quer ter mais acção própria. Deixa-se conduzir por ele, como ele quer... O abandono é o estado de total disponibilidade (aniquilamento) de todo o nosso ser a todos os seus bel-prazeres.
Jean Gay, em ‘Libermann’ citando Le Vavasseur, p. 112
