All that you have to do, is to keep yourself docile and pliable in the hands of the Spirit of life, whom Our Lord has placed in your soul to be your all. He must be the principle and unique source of all your affections, of all your desires and of all the movements of your soul.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Spiritual Letters, I, 366, 1837.
Tout ce que vous avez à faire, c’est de vous rendre docile, maniable, entre les mains de l’Esprit de vie que Notre Seigneur a mis dans votre âme pour être toutes choses en vous. Il doit être le principe et la source unique de toutes vos affections, de tous vos désirs et de tous les mouvements de votre âme.
François Libermann
Cf. Lettres Spirituelles, I, 366, 1837.
Tudo o que tem de fazer, é tornar-se dócil, maleável, nas mãos do Espírito de vida que Nosso Senhor colocou na sua alma para ser tudo em si. Ele deve ser o princípio e a única fonte de todas as suas afeições, de todos os seus desejos e de todos os movimentos da sua alma.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Cartas Espirituais, I, 366, 1837.
The Itaici Chapter had been remarkable for the emphasis it put on Spiritan experience as a source for seeing where the Spirit was leading us. It is in experience that we also find a new vitality for a mission which is a spirituality before being a strategy. From the last Chapters & EGC, it gradually dawned on us that the most important thing for the Congregation is to tap into the living sources where it is once more seeking meaning and energy for a difficult mission. Before being a body organised for action, our Congregation is, and must be, a body organised for capturing inspiration.

Le Chapitre d'Itaïci a été remarquable pour la place donnée à l'expérience spiritaine comme source pour chercher où l'Esprit nous menait et où trouver une nouvelle vitalité pour une mission qui était spiritualité avant d'être stratégie.~ (Depuis les derniers Chapitres et C.G.E.) il nous est apparu que le plus important pour la Congrégation était de capter des sources vives où elle puiserait à nouveau sens et énergie pour une mission difficile.~ Avant d'être un corps organisé pour l'action, notre Congrégation est et doit être un corps organisé pour capter l'inspiration…

O Capítulo de Itaici chamou a atenção para a experiência espiritana como fonte para ver aonde nos conduz o Espírito. É na experiência que nós também encontramos uma nova vitalidade para a missão a qual antes de ser uma estratégia é uma espiritualidade. Desde os últimos Capítulos & CGA, gradualmente, vamos compreendendo que o mais importante para a Congregação é penetrar nas fontes da vida procurando aí uma vez mais o sentido e a energia para as dificuldades da missão. Antes de ser um corpo organizado para a acção, a nossa Congregação é e deve ser um corpo organizado para apreender inspiração...
