It would be a great and very admirable thing if the Holy Spirit accomplished in our souls this very holy union with Jesus in Mary, and with Mary in Jesus. May Jesus live in us as he lived in Mary.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Spiritual Letters, II, 424, 1840.
Ce serait une chose très grande et très admirable si l’Esprit-Saint accomplissait en nos âmes cette union si sainte avec Jésus en Marie, et avec Marie en Jésus. Que Jésus vive en nous comme il a vécu en Marie.
François Libermann
Cf. Lettres Spirituelles, II, 424, 1840.
Seria coisa muito grande e muito admirável se o Espírito Santo realizasse nas nossas almas esta união tão santa com Jesus em Maria, e com Maria em Jesus. Que Jesus viva em nós como Ele viveu em Maria.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Cartas Espirituais, II, 424, 1840.
I am searching for God. He has given me life for the purpose of serving him faithfully. The world would never bring me any reward for being attached to it: only God really loves me and is genuinely concerned about me. If I can please him, then I am happy; if I displease him, I am the most miserable man in the whole world. If I live in grace, I have everything; if I lose it, I have nothing.

Je cherche mon Dieu. Il ne m'a donné la vie que pour le servir fidèlement… Le monde ne me récompensera pas de l'attachement que j'aurais pour lui. ~ Dieu seul m'aime sincèrement et veut me faire du bien. Si je lui puis plaire, je suis trop heureux ; si je lui déplais, je suis le plus misérable homme du monde. J'ai tout gagné si je vis dans la grâce ; j'ai tout perdu si je la perds.
Poullart des Places, Retraite 1701

Se eu lhe puder agradar, sou muito feliz ; se lhe desagrado, sou o homem mais miserável do mundo. Tudo ganhei se vivo em graça ; tudo perdi se a perco.
