When God Mixes with Us, Homily 3rd Sunday of Easter
Be master, then, of your own soul and you will be master of the whole world.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, VIII, 113, 1844.
Soyez donc maître de votre âme et vous serez maître de tout le monde entier.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, VIII, 113, 1844.
Seja então senhor da sua alma e será senhor do mundo inteiro.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, VIII, 113, 1844.
You always deal kindly with me as if you were in need of me. It is as if you glory in subjugating a heart as insensitive as mine. You seem to delight in this conquest. In acknowledging your power, I also acknowledge your love. I know that your tenderness is infinite because it is not exhausted by my innumerable past ingratitudes. For a long time you have desired to speak to my heart but I have refused to listen. You try to convince me that you want to use me but I try not to believe you... Now I am ready to listen to the commands of your divine providence.

Comme si vous aviez besoin de moi, vous me traitez toujours avec douceur. Il semble que vous vous fassiez un honneur de gagner (réduire) un cœur aussi insensible que le mien. En reconnaissant votre puissance, que je reconnais efficacement votre amour ! Vous m'aimez, mon divin Sauveur, et vous m'en donnez des marques bien sensibles. Je sais que votre tendresse est infinie, puisqu'elle n'est pas épuisée par les ingratitudes innombrables que je vous ai fait paraître tant de fois.
Claude Poullart, Réflexions sur les Vérités de la Religion, 1701

Como se precisásseis de mim, tratavas-me sempre com doçura. Parece-me que era para vós um ponto de honra ganhar (converter) um coração tão insensível como o meu. Reconhecendo o vosso poder, como reconheço eficazmente o vosso amor ! Vós me amáveis, meu divino Salvador, e dáveis-me disso sinais bem sensíveis. Eu sei que a vossa ternura é infinita, pois que ela não se esgotou com as inumeráveis ingratidões que vos manifestei tantas vezes.
