In order for our missionaries to have external grace to strengthen them against external world, we have community life which shelters them from the external rocks of the world, as Our Lord’s grace shelters them from the spirit of the world.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, XIII, 709, 1851.
Pour que les missionnaires aient aussi la grâce extérieure qui les fortifie contre le monde extérieur, nous avons la vie de communauté qui met à l’abri des écueils extérieurs du monde, comme la grâce de Notre-Seigneur met à l’abri contre l’esprit du monde.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, XIII, 709, 1851.
Para que os missionários tenham também a graça exterior que os fortifica contra o mundo exterior, temos a vida de comunidade que os protege contra os escolhos exteriores do mundo, como a graça de Nosso Senhor protege contra o espírito do mundo.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, XIII, 709, 1851.

Financial problems were in no way behind my decision to enter into negotiations (regarding fusion with the Spiritans): we are cer-tainly not rich, but things are not too bad since we have accepted twelve new students for the beginning of this year. What motivated me in the dealings with the Congreation of the Holy Spirit was the thought of the immense good that would come from it.

Ce n’est, en aucune manière, l’embarras financier qui m’a engagé à entrer en négociation (pour la fusion); nous ne sommes pas riches assurément, mais nous ne sommes pas embarrassés, tellement que nous avons accepté plus de douze nouveaux élèves pour le commencement de cette année. Ce qui m’a engagé, dans l’affaire du Saint-Esprit, c’est la pensée du bien immense à faire (à Gamon, N.D.X, 323).. cf. Il résultera de cette réunion un bien immense et surtout pour la Mission d’Afrique.
Libermann à Gamon, , N.D.X, 323

Première prise d’habit au noviciat de Sintra.
Não é de modo nenhum, a dificuldade financeira que me levou a entrar em negociações (para a fusão); seguramente não somos ricos, mas não estamos preocupados, pois até aceitamos mais de doze novos alunos no começo deste ano. O que me empenhou, no assunto da Congregação do E. Santo, é o pensamento do bem imenso a fazer (a Gamon, N.D. X,323). Desta reunião resultará um bem imenso e sobretudo para a Missão da África.
Libermann a Gamon, N.D. X, 323
1846 Austrália
