It is essential that we attain to such an abnegation of ourselves that we remain imperturbable with regards to everything that happens. We must expect all the privations, sufferings, all the difficulties of every sort, remain standing before God, in peace, humility, gentleness and in full trust in his mercy.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, XIII, 352, 1851.
Il faut que nous parvenions à une telle abnégation de nous-mêmes, que nous restions impassibles devant tout ce qui arrive. Il faut nous attendre à toutes les privations, à toutes les souffrances, à des difficultés de tout genre, rester debout devant Dieu, dans la paix, l’humilité, la douceur et dans une pleine confiance en sa miséricorde.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, XIII, 352, 1851.
É preciso que cheguemos a uma tal abnegação de nós mesmos, que fiquemos impassíveis diante de tudo que nos acontece. É preciso contar com toda a espécie de privações, de sofrimentos, de dificuldades de todo o généro e permancecer de pé diante de Deus, na paz, na humildade, na mansidão e numa plena confiança na sua misericórdia.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, XIII, 352, 1851.
Here in Australia we are literally at the "ends of the earth", but in the spirit of François Libermann, we have faith in what the Lord is asking of us here, and intend, God willing, to continue. We are confident that the Lord will provide as we do his work here in the 'Land of the Holy Spirit' - as Australia was called by the first Portuguese explorers who came across this continent centuries ago.

Ici en Australie, nous sommes littéralement au bout du monde, mais dans l’esprit de François Libermann, nous croyons que le Seigneur nous demande d’y être et nous avons l’intention, si Dieu veut, continuer. Nous sommes confiants que le Seigneur veille sur nous lorsque nous accomplissons son œuvre ici, dans le « Pays du St Esprit », ainsi que l’Australie fut appelée par les premiers exploreurs portugais qui touchèrent ce continent il y a des siècles.

Aqui na Austrália estamos literalmente “no fim do mundo”, mas segundo o espírito do Venerável Padre acreditamos que o Senhor nos pede para estar aqui, e tencionamos, se Deus quiser, continuar. Esperando que o Senhor vele sobre nós para realizar aqui a sua obra na “Terra do Espírito Santo”, nome que foi dado à Austrália pelos primeiros exploradores portugueses que chegaram a este continente séculos atrás.
