Cor unum et anima una

Be fervent, fervent, always fervent, and above all, charity, charity, charity above all. Charity in Jesus Christ, charity through Jesus Christ, charity in the name of Jesus Christ. Fervour, charity, union in Jesus Christ. I see you for the last time, I am happy to see you. Sacrifice yourself for Jesus, for Jesus alone. God is all, man is nothing. The spirit of sacrifice, zeal for the glory of God, the salvation of souls.
Francis Libermann
Cf. The last words of Father Libermann, 2nd February 1852.
Soyez fervents, fervents, toujours fervents, et surtout, la charité, la charité, la charité surtout. Charité en Jésus-Christ, charité par Jésus-Christ, charité au nom de Jésus-Christ. Ferveur, charité, union en Jésus-Christ. Je vous vois pour la dernière fois, je suis heureux de vous voir. Sacrifiez-vous pour Jésus, pour Jésus seul. Dieu est tout, l’homme n’est rien. Esprit de sacrifice, zèle pour la gloire de Dieu, le salut des âmes.
François Libermann
Cf. Les dernières paroles du Père Libermann, 2 février 1852.
Sede fervorosos, fervorosos, sempre fervorosos, e sobretudo, a caridade, a caridade, a caridade sobretudo. Caridade em Jesus Cristo, caridade por Jesus Cristo, caridade em nome de Jesus Cristo. Fervor, caridade, união em Jesus Cristo. Vejo-vos pela última vez, estou feliz de vos ver. Sacrificai-vos por Jesus, só por Jesus. Deus é tudo, o homem não é nada. Espírito de sacrifício, zelo pela glória de Deus e salvação das almas.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Últimas palavras do Padre Libermann, 2 de fevereiro de 1852.
At half past three in the afternoon, as I told you yesterday, our dear Father was almost unconscious, apparently seeing and hearing nothing. This lasted until two this afternoon. Suddenly, he woke up and opened his eyes. He was shown a crucifix and we said to him, \"Jesus, Mary and Joseph, In manus tuas Domine, commendo spiritum meum\". He saw, understood and was transformed. It was very beautiful. We were convinced that he had had some sort of vision. They began the Magnificat in the chapel and he expired.

A 3h1/2 de l’après-midi, ainsi que je vous l’ai dit hier, notre cher Père était à peu près sans connaissance, ne semblant plus rien voir ni entendre. Cela a duré à peu près jusqu’à aujourd’hui à 2 heures de l’après-midi... Tout à coup il se réveille, il ouvre les yeux, on lui montre le Crucifix; on lui dit: Jésus, Marie, Joseph, In manus tuas, Domine, commendo spiritum meum. Il voit, il comprend, il entre dans un ravissement admirable... Oh! Que c’était beau! Nous ne pouvons douter qu’il n’ait eu une vue spirituelle... On commence le Magnificat à la chapelle(la communauté chante Vêpres), il va expirer d’ici la fin.
du P. Schwindenhammer, ND 13, p.664

Às 3.30 da tarde, como já vos disse ontem, o nosso querido Pai começava pouco a pouco a perder o conhecimento, parecendo não ver nem compreender nada. Isso durou mais ou menos até hoje às 2 horas da tarde... De repente desperta, abre os olhos, mostramo-lhe o crucifixo; dizemo-lhe: Jesus, Maria José, In manus tuas, Domine, commendo spiritum meum. Ele vê, compreende, entra num êxtase admirável... Oh! Como era belo! Não podemos duvidar que tenha tido uma visão espiritual... Começa o Magnificat na capela (a comunidade canta as Vésperas), ele vai expirar durante o cântico.
