When God Mixes with Us, Homily 3rd Sunday of Easter
A strong and truly apostolic soul is always calm, gentle, and unshakable in the midst of pains and contradictions. It is never sad, gloomy, agitated, abrupt, sullen, silent, nor a burden to itself or its neighbour. All these defects are the affairs of feeble souls, lovers of themselves, who do not know the virtue of the cross of Jesus Christ, and who do not wish to have a part in it.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Spiritual Letters, IV, 458, 1847.
Une âme forte et vraiment apostolique est toujours calme, douce, imperturbable au milieu des peines et des contrariétés. Jamais elle n’est triste, maussade, agitée, brusque, aigre, silencieuse, ni à charge à elle-même et au prochain. Tous ces défauts sont le fait des âmes faibles, amatrices d’elles-mêmes, qui ne connaissent pas la vertu de la croix de Jésus-Christ, et qui surtout n’aiment pas à y avoir part.
François Libermann
Cf. Lettres Spirituelles, IV, 458, 1847.
Uma alma forte e verdadeiramente apostólica está sempre calma, mansa, imperturbável no meio dos sofrimentos e contrariedades. Nunca está triste, impertinente, agitada, brusca, irritada, silenciosa, nem contra si mesma nem contra o próximo. Todos estes defeitos pertencem às almas fracas, que se amam a si mesmas e que não conhecem a virtude da cruz de Jesus Cristo, e que sobretudo não gostam de participar nela.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Cartas Espirituais, IV, 458, 1847.
Our Lord came to save everybody; he sacrificed himself for all from the worst to the best, so his whole attitude as a priest is one of reconciliation and salvation for the whole of the human race. Consequently, those who share in the fullness of the priesthood of their Master must also spread their compassion throughout the whole world, and rejoice when this same Master sends people to save abandoned souls: it would be wrong to be so miserly as to only give these people in need what is of no use elsewhere.
Libermann to Féret, 15.12.1839. L.S. II, p. 317

Notre-Seigneur est venu sauver tous les hommes ; il s’est sacrifié pour tous, pour les plus vils comme pour les plus relevés, et par conséquent son esprit sacerdotal n’est rien autre chose qu’un esprit de réconciliation et de salut pour le genre humain tout entier ; et par conséquent aussi, ceux qui ont la plénitude du sacerdoce de leur Maître doivent étendre leur miséricorde sur toute la terre, et se réjouir lorsque ce divin Maître envoie des sauveurs aux âmes délaissées, et ne pas être avares pour ne leur donner que ce qui ne peut servir à grand chose.

Nosso Senhor veio para salvar todos os homens; sacrificou-se por todos, tanto pelos mais humildes como pelos mais importantes, e por conseguinte o seu espírito sacerdotal não é outra coisa senão um espírito de reconciliação e de salvação por todo o género humano; e por conseguinte também, os que têm a plenitude do sacerdócio do seu Mestre devem estender a sua misericórdia a toda a terra e alegrar-se quando este divino Mestre envia salvadores para as almas mais abandonadas, e não serem avaros por não lhes dar o que não pode servir para grande coisa.
