I do not feel drawn to look for all these human supports, besides, I am not capable of obtaining them. I have presented my project, if God wants it to be approved, they will know how to find me. I will wait, otherwise I will return as I came.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, I, 662, 1839.
Je ne me sens pas porté à rechercher tous ces appuis humains, d’ailleurs, je ne suis pas capable de les obtenir. J’ai présenté mon projet, si Dieu veut qu’il soit agréé, on saura bien me trouver. J’attendrai, sinon je m’en retournerai comme je suis venu.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, I, 662, 1839.
Eu não me sinto inclinado a procurar todos esses apoios humanos, além disso seria incapaz de os obter. Apresentei o meu projeto, se Deus quiser que ele seja aceite, eles saberão como me encontrar. Esperarei, senão regressarei como vim.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, I, 662, 1839.

Preaching is always indispensable. We are well aware that modern man is sated by talk. The fatigue produced these days by so much empty talk and the relevance of many other forms of communication must not however diminish the permanent power of the word, or cause a loss of confidence in it. The word remains ever relevant, especially when it is the bearer of the power of God (cf. 1 Cor 2: 1-5). This is why Saint Paul's axiom, "Faith comes from what is heard" (cf. Rom 10: 17), also retains its relevance: it is the Word that is heard which leads to belief.
Paul VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, nº42
Oui, elle est toujours indispensable, la prédication, cette proclamation verbale d’un message. Nous savons bien que l’homme moderne, rassasié de discours, se révèle souvent fatigué d’entendre et, pire encore, immunisé contre la parole.~ La parole reste toujours actuelle, surtout lorsqu’elle est porteuse de la puissance de Dieu. C’est pourquoi reste aussi d’actualité l’axiome de saint Paul « La foi vient de ce qu’on entend » : c’est la parole entendue qui conduit à croire.
Paul VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, n°42
A pregação permanece sempre indispensável. Nós sabemos bem que o homem moderno está saturado de discursos. O cansaço que hoje provocam tantos discursos ocos, e a actualidade de muitas outras formas de comunicação não devem no entanto diminuir a permanente validade da palavra, nem levar a perder a confiança nela. A palavra continua a ser sempre actual, sobretudo quando ela for portadora da força divina (Cf. 1 Cor 2: 1-5). É por este motivo que permanece também com actualidade o axioma de S. Paulo : “A fé vem da pregação” (Cf. Rom 10: 17): é a Palavra ouvida que leva a acreditar.
Paulo VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, nº 42
