When God Mixes with Us, Homily 3rd Sunday of Easter
The spirit of our Divine Master is in you, let him be the master in everything but especially in the word of God that you proclaim.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Spiritual Letters, I, 461, 1838.
L’esprit de notre divin Maître est en vous, laissez-le maître en tout, mais surtout dans la Parole de Dieu que vous annoncez.
François Libermann
Cf. Lettres Spirituelles, I, 461, 1838.
O espírito do nosso divino Mestre está em si. Deixe-o ser mestre em tudo, sobretudo na Palavra de Deus que anuncia.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Cartas espirituais, I, 461, 1838.
Rather than sacrifice justice and goodness, I have accepted to be persecuted. It is those who persecute who are miserable; to suffer for justice, to be punished for the sake of good, this is a blessing. The only sure happiness is in gentle goodness. If we are not to be the lackeys of tyrants, if we are to be faithful to brotherhood and justice amongst men, we have to have the courage to be right and to sup-port those who are right. This is why 'the kingdom of God is subject to violence and it is the violent who carry it off'.
P. Joaquim Alves Correia, Vida Mais Alta
1848 C.S.Sp.
M. Monnet, the Superior General of the Spiritans, proposes a union between his Congregation and that of the Holy Heart of Mary to Cardinal Fransoni, the Prefect of the Propaganda Fide.
1941 Portugal
P. Faustino Moreira dos Santos is ordained bishop in the church of St. Dominic in Viana do Castelo.
1962 Algeria
Independence of Algeria. Confreres who are retired or parish priests in the region of Oran leave for France. The agricultural school at Misserghin continues as a private school recognised by the State. It marks the start of a new type of misÂsionary presence in the country, in the spirit of Vatican II.
1966 Alto Jurua
P. Henrique Rüth is appointed Prelate "nullius" and Bishop of Leptiminus.
Plutôt que de perdre la justice et la bonté, j’ai accepté d’être persécuté. C’est persécuter qui est un malheur. Souffrir pour la justice, pleurer provisoirement pour être bon, c’est la béatitude: le seul bonheur sûr, c’est la bonté dans la douceur.Pour ne pas être le laquais des tyrans, pour être fidèle à la fraternité et la justice entre les hommes, il faut avoir le courage d’avoir raison et de pousser ceux qui ont raison. C’est pour cela que “le royaume des cieux est soumis à la violence et que les violents le conquièrent.
P. Joaquim Alves Correia, Vida Mais Alta
1848 C.S.Sp.
M. Monnet, supérieur général C.S.Sp., propose au Cardinal Fransoni, Préfet de Propaganda Fide l'union de sa Congrégation avec celle du Saint Cœur de Marie. Il envoie à Rome M. Loewenbruck pour traiter cette affaire.

Indépendance de l'Algérie : les confrères retraités ou curés de Paroisses en Oranie partent pour la France. Le "Centre artisanal et agricole" (Misserghin) continue ses activités comme école privée agréée par l'Etat algérien. C'est le début d'une ère nouvelle de présence missionnaire dans l'esprit de Vatican II.
1966 Haut Jurua
Le P. Henrique Rüth est nommé Prélat ‘Nullius’ et évêque de Leptiminus.
Antes do que perder justiça e a bondade, consenti em ser perseguidos. Perseguir é que é desgraça. Sofrer pela justiça, chorar provisoriamente, para ser bom, isso sim é que é bem-aventurança: a única ventura firme é a mansa bondade... Para não ser lacaio dos tiranos, para ser fiel à fraternidade e à justiça entre os homens, é preciso ter a coragem de ter razão e animar os que têm. Por isso o “Reino de Deus é de violência, e os violentos o conquistam”.
P. Joaquim Alves Correria, "Vida mais alta"
1848 C.S.Sp.
M. Monnet, Superior Geral C.S.Sp., propõe ao Cardeal Fransoni, Prefeito da Propaganda, a união da sua Congregação com a do Sagrado Coração de Maria. Envia a Roma M. Loewenbruck para tratar deste assunto.
