There were moments when I believed that our Lord and Master was going to abandon and reject me. You continue to pray that this may be nothing, for I am not yet delivered from this anxiety. I abandon myself and hand myself over to the Heavenly Father’s disposal.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Spiritual Letters, I, 352, 1837.
Il y avait des moments où je croyais que notre Seigneur et Maître allait m’abandonner et me rejeter. Continuez de le prier pour qu’il n’en soit rien, car je ne suis pas encore délivré de cette inquiétude. Je m’abandonne et je m’en remets à la disposition du Père Céleste.
François Libermann
Cf. Lettres Spirituelles, I, 352, 1837.
Houve momentos em que eu pensava que nosso Senhor e Mestre me ia abandonar e rejeitar. Continuai a pedir-lhe que isso não aconteça , porque ainda não estou livre desta preocupação. Abandono-me e entrego-me ao bom prazer do Pai Celeste.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Cartas Espirituais, I, 352, 1837.
It is the children of Nigeria who are responsible for the amazing things that have happened, and the unbelievable rapidity with which God's Church has branched and blossomed in a few short years. A baptised child is a temple of the Holy Ghost and his instrument. These children, going into their pagan homes, full of the life of God, and carrying with them his intimate presence and all the radiance of the supernatural - God worked the miracle through these tiny apostles.
Bishop Joseph Shanahan to the Holy Rosary Sisters, 07.10.1928. Letters I, p. 83

Ce sont les enfants du Nigéria qui sont responsables pour les choses merveilleuses qui sont arrivées, et pour l’incroyable rapidité avec laquelle l’Eglise de Dieu a pris racine et a fleuri en très peu d’années. Un enfant baptisé est un temple du Saint Esprit et son instrument. Ces enfants, en allant dans leurs maisons païennes, pleins de la vie de Dieu, et transportant avec eux sa présence intime et le rayonnement du surnaturel – Dieu a fait un miracle à travers ces petits apôtres.
Mgr. Joseph Shanahan aux Soeurs du Saint Rosaire, 07.10.1928. Lettres I, p. 83

São as crianças da Nigéria que são responsáveis pelas coisas maravilhosas que têm acontecido, e pela inacreditável rapidez com a qual a Igreja de Deus se tem ramificado e florescido em muito poucos anos. Uma criança baptizada é um templo do Espírito Santo e seu instrumento. Estas crianças, indo para as suas casas pagãs, cheias da vida de Deus, e levando com elas a sua íntima presença e todo o brilho do sobrenatural – Deus realizou o milagre através destes pequenos apóstolos.
J. Shanahan, às Irmãs do Santo Rosário, 07.10.1928, Letters I, p. 83.
