I know you will not find many like that, who are already capable of suffering pains and humiliations, but they must at least have the ardent and sincere desire to suffer all sorts of pain, afflictions and humiliations for the love of God and that even from this moment they strive to work seriously to support them, to humble and conquer themselves in these circumstances.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, I, 662, 1839.
Je sais que vous n’en trouverez pas beaucoup qui soient déjà capables de souffrir patiemment les peines et les humiliations, mais il faut au moins qu’ils aient le désir ardent et sincère de souffrir toutes sortes de peines, d’afflictions et d’humiliations pour l’amour de Dieu et que même ils tâchent dès ce moment de travailler sérieusement à les supporter, à s’humilier et à se vaincre dans ces circonstances.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, I, 662, 1839.
Eu sei que não encontrareis muitos que sejam capazes de sofrer com paciência as penas e humilhações, mas é preciso ao menos que tenham o desejo ardente e sincero de sofrer toda a espécie de penas, de aflições e humilhações por amor de Deus, e que mesmo tratam desde agora de trabalhar seriamente para as suportar, para se humilhar e se vencer nestas circunstâncias.
Francisco Libermann

Tell Jesus something like this: 'Dear Jesus, you know very well that I'm nothing, that I'm worth nothing and that I can do nothing. But here I am, a poor man; please take me in your great kindness. I want to give myself entirely to you and I want nothing more than that. Watch over me, Jesus. I want you, not me, to want things for myself. Act within me, turn me this way or that way as you please. If I sometimes try to resist, don't take any notice.
Libermann, to the Director of a Seminary. 01.01.1839. L.S.II, p. 392-393
Dites-lui (à Jésus) doucement: Mon doux Jésus, vous savez bien que je ne suis rien, que je ne puis rien, que je ne vaux rien. Me voici tel que je suis, c’est-à-dire un pauvre homme ; prenez-moi si vous voulez bien avoir cette grande miséricorde. Je m’abandonne et me livre entre vos mains, et je ne veux plus rien. Veuillez pour moi et en moi, Seigneur Jésus. Agissez en moi, tournez-moi et retournez-moi selon votre unique bon plaisir. Si je vous résiste quelque fois, n’y faites pas attention, mon bon Maître.
Libermann, à un directeur. de séminaire, 01.01.1839 , LSII, p.392-393
Diga-lhe (a Jesus) docemente : Meu doce Jesus, sabeis bem que nada sou, nada posso, e nada valho. Eis-me aqui tal como sou, isto é, um pobre homem; tomai-me, se quereis usar comigo de grande misericórdia. Abandono-me e entrego-me nas vossas mãos e não quero mais nada. Velai por mim e em mim, Senhor Jesus. Agi em mim, transformai-me e renovai-me segundo o vosso único bel-prazer. Se eu vos resistir alguma vez, não presteis atenção, meu bom Mestre.
A um director de seminário, 01.01.1839, L.S. II, p.392-393
