Through our missionary undertakings, we receive something of the abundant riches of grace that God gives to different nations. Before drawing up our own initiatives and programmes, it is our task to perceive the grace of God everywhere and to welcome it. This is why we are so keen to retain the diversity in our Congregation, to preserve the "trade marks" that show that these things come from God. In this way, mission itself will create a Congregation which shows the glory of God to greater effect, a sign that encourages faith.

A travers nos engagements missionnaires, nous recevons quelque chose de la richesse multiforme de la grâce de Dieu qu'il a mise dans les nations. Avant d'y déployer notre initiative et nos programmes, nous sommes appelés à reconnaître la grâce de Dieu partout et à l'accueillir. C'est pourquoi nous voulons garder la diversité dans notre Congrégation, garder les marques d'origine qui viennent de Dieu. La mission crée ainsi une Congrégation qui resplendit davantage de la gloire de Dieu, signe qui suscite la foi.

Através dos nossos compromissos missionários, recebemos alguma coisa da riqueza multiforme da graça de Deus que ele colocou nos povos. Antes de desenvolver a nossa iniciativa e os nossos programas, somos chamados a reconhecer por toda a parte a graça de Deus e a acolhê-la. É por isso que queremos conservar a diversidade na Congregação, guardar as marcas de origem que vêm de Deus.
