The missionary rapports between them will be those of the children of the same family, which is that of Jesus and Mary. They must treat themselves as brothers animated by the same spirit, which is the Spirit of God, and of the same feeling which animates the Holy and Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, X, 537, 1849.
Les rapports des missionnaires entre eux seront ceux des enfants d’une même famille, qui est celle de Jésus et de Marie. Ils doivent se traiter comme des frères animés d’un même esprit, qui est l’Esprit de Dieu et d’un même sentiment qui est celui qui anime le Saint et Immaculé Coeur de Marie.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, X, 537, 1849.
As relações dos missionários entre eles serão as dos filhos duma mesma família, que é a de Jesus e Maria. Devem tratar-se como irmãos animados dum mesmo espírito, que é o Espírito de Deus e dum mesmo sentimento que é aquele que anima o Santíssimo e amado Coração de Maria.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, X, 537, 1849.
May the divine Child preserve in your soul his life of love and self-giving. He alone is our all; let us be lost and absorbed in him. He is hidden in the depths of our souls, as he was in the poor house of Nazareth, when he returned from Egypt. Let us keep our souls in poverty and emptiness, so that this Child will live in us and be hidden in the intimacy of our hearts. Yes! the divine Child must be hidden in us; hidden, not only to the eyes of others but to our own eyes as well.
Libermann, to Carron, Rennes, 03.02.1838, L.S.I p.409-412

Que le divin Enfant continue dans votre âme sa vie d'amour et d'abandon. C'est lui qui est notre unique Tout; soyons perdus et anéantis en lui. Il est caché dans le fond de nos âmes, comme il l'était dans la pauvre maison de Nazareth, lors de son retour d'Egypte. Tenons nos âmes dans la pauvreté et la nudité, afin que ce cher enfant puisse se plaire à vivre en nous et à se cacher dans l'intime de nos coeurs. Oh! oui, il faut que le divin Enfant soit caché en nous; caché non seulement aux yeux de autres hommes, mais à nos propres yeux.
Libermann à Carron, Rennes, 03.02.1838, L.S.I, p.409

Possa o Divino Menino conservar na tua alma a sua vida de amor e de doação. Só Ele é o nosso tudo, deixemo-nos perder e absorver por ele. Ele está escondido no íntimo das nossas almas, como estava na pobre casa de Nazaré, quando voltou do Egipto. Tenhamos as nossas almas na pobreza e vacuidade, de modo que o querido Menino goste de viver em nós e estar escondido na intimidade dos nossos corações. Sim! O divino Menino deve estar escondido em nós; escondido, não só aos olhos dos outros mas também aos nossos próprios olhos.
