To continue this work for the poor workers], we need some resources. Come to our aid. Already, they have all received the medal of the Blessed Virgin Mary and are all wearing it, others have received the books for mass, with canticles and they sing like children. This work is prodigious and suitable for restoring tranquillity in Paris and France entirely, but especially to save souls.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, XI, 48, 1849.

Déjà, tous ont reçu la médaille de la Sainte Vierge et la portent, d’autres ont reçu un livre de messe, avec des cantiques et chantent comme des enfants.

From 1840, when I sent the first version of the Rules for our little Society to Rome, I felt it was essential to work for the creation of a native clergy. Without any precise ideas as to how we should go about it, I included a chapter on this subject, so that if I died before beginning such a work, my confreres would not abandon the idea... Even before reading your work (concerning the need for a native clergy in Pondichery, India), I knew that the Holy See was keen on the formation of a local clergy in the missions, but I did not how enthusiastically the Pope and the Sacred Congregation had followed up the idea.

Dès 1840, lorsque j'écrivis à Rome le premier essai des Règles que je devais proposer à notre petite société, j'ai cru urgent de travailler à la formation d'un clergé indigène; et, sans aucune donnée sur la manière de s'y prendre pour l'exécution, j'ai mis un chapitre sur cet article afin que, si je venais à mourir avant d'avoir commencé l' œuvre du Clergé indigène, mes confrères ne l'abandonnassent pas… Je savais, avant d'avoir lu votre ouvrage, que le Saint-Siège désirait qu'on formât un Clergé indigène dans les Missions, mais je ne connaissais pas toute l'énergie avec laquelle le Souverain Pontife et la Sacrée Congrégation ont poursuivi la chose.

Desde 1840, quando apresentei a Roma a primeira prova das Regras que devia propor à nossa pequena Sociedade, pensei que era urgente trabalhar na formação dum clero indígena; e, sem nenhum dado sobre a maneira de começar a executar isso, coloquei um artigo sobre este assunto a fim de que, se eu viesse a morrer antes de ter começado a Obra do Clero indígena, os meus confrades não a abandonassem... Eu sabia, antes de ter lido o seu trabalho, que a Santa Sé desejava que se formasse um Clero indígena nas Missões, mas não conhecia a grande vontade que o Soberano Pontífice e a Sagrada Congregação tinham de continuar esse projecto.
