Happy Birthday
4 November 2025
A man who seeks to renounce himself in everything and to give himself completely to God, is a master of heaven, earth and of hell fire. God grants him everything he wants. He is the beloved of the Blessed Virgin, the Angels and the Saints. The demons tremble before him, because they acknowledge in him the sovereign power of God himself.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Spiritual Letters, I, 50, 1833.
Un homme qui cherche à se renoncer en tout et à se donner tout à Dieu, est maître du ciel, de la terre et de l’enfer. Dieu lui accorde tout ce qu’il désire. Il est chéri de la très sainte Vierge, des anges et des saints. Les démons tremblent devant lui, parce qu’ils reconnaissent en lui la souveraine puissance de Dieu même.
François Libermann
Cf. Lettres Spirituelles, I, 50, 1833.
Um homem que procura renunciar-se em tudo e entregar-se inteiramente a Deus, é senhor do céu, da terra e do inferno. Deus concede-lhe tudo o que ele deseja. É amado pela Santíssima Virgem, pelos anjos e santos. Os demónios tremem diante dele, porque reconhecem nele o poder soberano do próprio Deus.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Cartas Espirituais, I, 50, 1833.

If God has not been pleased to give me the inestimable grace of saving others through suffering with his beloved Son, if he has not willed to make me a victim of sacrifice for destitute souls, nevertheless he has given me the grace of directing in his way those servants he has chosen for this purpose, and whom he wishes to sanctify in this manner for work among abandoned souls.
Libermann: Instructions for Missionnaries, Introduction. E.S. p.480-495
S'il n'a pas plu à Dieu de me donner la grâce inappréciable des souffrances de son Fils bien-aimé, parce qu'il n'a pas voulu faire de moi une victime pour les âmes délaissées, il m'a donné celle de diriger dans sa voie les serviteurs qu'il s'est choisis pour cette fin, et qu'il veut sanctifier ainsi pour le salut de ces pauvres âmes. (Libermann, Instructions aux Missionnaires, introduction, E.S.p.480…).
Se não foi do agrado de Deus conceder-me a inestimável graça de salvar outros através do sofrimento com o seu amado Filho, se Ele não quis fazer de mim uma vítima de sacrifício pelas almas abandonadas, contudo tem-me dado a graça de encaminhar para Ele aqueles servos que Ele adoptou para este fim, e aos quais deste modo quer santificar para o trabalho entre as almas abandonadas. (Libermann, Instruções aos Missionários, Introdução, E.S. p.480-495).
