One does not love his confrere in order to be loved, or for the pleasure that one finds in this affection. Loving thus one’s confrere, all in God and for God, we will endeavour to make God reign in them. This is why the first duty that charity imposes on each member of the Congregation, is the desire for the sanctification of his brothers.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, X, 540-1, 1849.
On n’aimera pas son confrère dans la vue d’en être aimé, ou pour le plaisir qu’on trouve dans cette affection. Aimant ainsi ses confrères, tout en Dieu et pour Dieu, on tâchera de faire régner Dieu en eux. C’est pourquoi le premier devoir que la charité impose à chaque membre de la Congrégation, c’est le désir de la sanctification de ses frères.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, X, 540-1, 1849.
Não amamos os nossos confrades para que eles nos amem, nem pelo prazer que encontramos nesta afeição. Amando assim os confrades, em Deus e por Deus, procuraremos que Deus reine neles. É por isso que o primeiro dever que a caridade impõe a cada membro da Congregação, é o desejo da santificação dos seus irmãos.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, X, 540-1, 1849.
Your prayer should be a simple, humble and peaceful repose, full of confidence in the presence of Jesus- that's all! There is no need for a lot of reflections or acts of love. Nothing should be forced; when you are with Jesus, be like a child with its father, nothing more than that is needed. Look on yourself as something that belongs to him, that is there in his presence for him to do what he wants with it. All this should be without effort and without many words, either internal or external.
Libermann to Collin: 29.01.1845. NDVII, p.37-39

Votre oraison doit consister dans un repos simple, humble, paisible et plein de confiance devant N.S.: voilà tout. Il ne faut pas viser à faire beaucoup de réflexions, ni à produire beaucoup d'affections. Qu'il n'y ait rien de forcé de votre part; soyez devant Jésus comme un pauvre enfant devant son père; rien de plus... Regardez-vous devant N.S. comme (une chose à) lui appartenant, qui est là en sa présence pour qu'il en fasse et en dispose selon l'étendue de sa divine volonté; et cela sans effort ni beaucoup de paroles intérieures ou extérieures.
Libermann, à Collin, 29.01.1845, ND VII, p.37-39
1928 Portugal

A sua oração deve consistir num repouso simples, humilde, pacífico e cheio de confiança diante de Nosso Senhor: eis tudo. Não é preciso ter em vista fazer muitas reflexões, nem produzir muitos afectos. Que da sua parte não haja nada de forçado; esteja diante de Jesus como uma criança diante de seu pai; nada mais... Considere-se diante de Nosso Senhor como uma coisa que lhe pertence, que está na sua presença para que ele faça e disponha dela segundo a sua divina vontade; e isso sem esforço nem muitas palavras interiores ou exteriores.
Libermann a Collin, 29.01.1845, ND VII, p. 37-39
