A cardinal principle in spiritual life, is to simplify things as much as possible. The more simple and uniform our way of acting is, the more perfect it is, and the more easy will we put up with ourselves.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Spiritual Letters, I, 419, 1838.
Un grand principe de la vie spirituelle, c’est de simplifier les choses le plus qu’on peut. Plus notre conduite est simple et uniforme, plus elle est parfaite, et plus aussi nous nous soutenons facilement.
François Libermann
Cf. Lettres Spirituelles, I, 419, 1838.
Um grande princípio da vida espiritual é simplificar as coisas o mais que se pode. Quanto mais o nosso comportamento é simples e uniforme, mais ele é perfeito, e mais facilmente ainda nos apoiamos mutuamente.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Cartas Espirituais, I, 419, 1838.
Be perfectly human, perfect the human and the natural, be fully a woman. Don't be afraid of your little heart; it is made to be used. If it becomes too exuberant, it can always be cut back and pruned and still remain a useful, healthy organ... You cannot say you love God and remain aloof from your neighbour.

Soyez parfaitement humaines, perfectionnez l’humain et le naturel, soyez totalement femmes. N’ayez pas peur de votre petit coeur; il est fait pour être utilisé. S’il devient trop exubérant, on peut toujours le raccourcir et le tailler, et il restera un organe utile et en bonne santé… Vous ne pouvez pas dire que vous aimez Dieu, et rester insensible à votre voisin.
Joseph Shanahan aux Soeurs du Saint Rosaire

Sede perfeitamente humanas, aperfeiçoai o humano e o natural, sede plenamente mulheres. Não tenhais medo do vosso pequeno coração, ele foi feito para ser usado. Se ele começa muito exuberante, pode ser tratado, cortado e permanecer um órgão saudável, muito útil. Vós não podeis dizer que amais a Deus e permanecer distantes do vosso vizinho.
