Lose your judgement in the general opinion. Tenacity to one’s own ideas is one of the greatest evil for people who ought to live together in the peace and charity of Jesus Christ.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Spiritual Letters, IV, 458, 1847.
Perdez votre jugement propre dans le jugement général. La ténacité à sa propre conception est un des plus grands maux pour les hommes qui doivent vivre ensemble dans la paix et la charité de Jésus-Christ.
François Libermann
Cf. Lettres Spirituelles, IV, 458, 1847.
Abandonai a vossa opinião no modo de pensar geral. A tenacidade nas suas próprias ideias é um dos maiores males para os homens que devem viver juntos na paz e na caridade de Jesus Cristo.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Cartas Espirituais, IV, 458, 1847.

Having been divinely sent to the nations that she might be "the universal sacrament of salvation", the Church, in obedience to the command of her founder (Mt 16:15) and because it is demanded by her own universality, strives to preach the Gospel to all people. The apostles, on whom the Church was founded, following the footsteps of Christ, preached the word of truth and begot Churches. It is the duty of their successors to carry on this work.
Second Vatican Council, "Ad Gentes", no.1
Envoyée par Dieu aux peuples pour être ‘le sacrement universel du salut’, l’Eglise, en vertu des exigences intimes de sa propre catholicité, et obéissant au commandement de son Fondateur (Mc.16, 16), est tendue de tout son effort vers la prédication de l’Evangile à tous les hommes. Les apôtres eux-mêmes, en effet, sur lesquels l’Eglise a été fondée, ont suivi la trace du Christ, prêché la parole de vérité et engendré des églises. Le devoir de leurs successeurs est de perpétuer cette œuvre...
Vatican II, Ad Gentes n°1
A Igreja, enviada por Deus a todas as gentes para ser “sacramento universal de salvação”, por íntima exigência da própria catolicidade, obedecendo a um mandato do seu fundador (Mat.16,15), procura incansavelmente anunciar o Evangelho a todos os homens. Já os próprios apóstolos em que a Igreja se alicerça, seguindo o exemplo de Cristo, pregaram a palavra da verdade e geraram igrejas. Aos seus sucessores compete perpetuar esta obra...
