I believe that all those who seem ready to give themselves to God in this holy work will be disposed for everything, and can only experience greater spiritual joy, in seeing rules which demands greatest perfection and will lead them into the greatest holiness and a more perfect dedication to their God.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, I, 662, 1839.
Je crois que tous ceux qui semblent devoir se donner à Dieu dans cette sainte oeuvre sont disposés à tout et ne feront qu’entrer dans une plus grande joie spirituelle, en voyant des règles qui exigent une plus grande perfection et les entretiendront dans une plus grande sainteté et un plus parfait dévouement à leur Dieu.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, I, 662, 1839.
Creio que todos aqueles que parecem dever entregar-se a Deus nesta santa obra estão dispostos a tudo e entrarão na maior alegria espiritual, ao ver as regras que exigem uma maior perfeição e que os manterão numa maior santidade e numa mais perfeita dedicação a Deus.
Francisco Libermann

So to be on mission is to come in contact with a mystery that em-braces the whole world, the whole of history and all peoples: to look, contemplate, discern, listen, learn, reply and collaborate. The basic attitude of such a mission is dialogue with God and with men and women. It is a mission that has hope and trust. It is respectful. It is neither impatient nor aggressive.
Michael Amaladoss S.J.: Planète-Mission. Lourdes, 1994
Être en mission, c'est donc rencontrer un mystère qui embrasse l'univers entier, l'histoire toute entière, et l'ensemble des peuples: regarder, contempler, discerner, écouter, apprendre, répondre, collaborer. Le mode fondamental d'une telle mission est le dialogue avec Dieu et avec les hommes et les femmes. Une telle mission espère, fait confiance. Elle est respectueuse. Elle n'est ni impatiente, ni agressive.
M. Amaladoss, s.j., Planète-Mission, Lourdes 1994
Estar em missão, é portanto encontrar um mistério que abraça todo o universo, toda a história e todos os povos: olhar, contemplar, discernir, escutar, aprender, responder, colaborar. O modo fundamental duma tal missão é o diálogo com Deus e com os homens e mulheres. Uma tal missão espera, confia. É respeitosa. Não é impaciente, nem agressiva.
M. Amaladoss,s.j., Planète-Mission, Lourdes 1994
