I have left Rennes. I have not a single person or creature on earth in whom I can put my trust. I have nothing, and I do not know what will become of me, or how I can simply live and exist; I will live a despised life, forgotten, neglected, lost in the world. I will be disapproved of by a great number of those who used to like and esteem me before. Have no fear or apprehension, realize that I am the happiest man in the world, I have nothing but God alone.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Spiritual Letters, II, 300, 1839, II, 300, 1839.
J’ai quitté Rennes. Je n’ai plus aucune créature sur la terre en qui je puisse mettre ma confiance. Je n’ai rien, je ne sais ce que je deviendrai, comment je pourrai vivre et exister. Je serai désapprouvé par un grand nombre de ceux qui m’aimaient auparavant. N’ayez ni crainte ni défiance, reconnaissez que je suis l’homme le plus heureux du monde, parce que n’ai plus que Dieu seul.
François Libermann
Cf. Lettres Spirituelles, II, 300, 1839.
Deixei Rennes. Não tenho nenhuma pessoa nem criatura nesta terra em quem possa colocar a minha confiança. Não tenho nada, não sei o que será de mim, como poderei viver e existir. Serei rejeitado por uma grande parte dos que gostavam de mim no passado. Não tenha medo e nem desconfiança, reconheça que sou o homem mais feliz do mundo, porque tenho apenas Deus.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Cartas Espirituais, II, 300, 1839.
We thank God that identification with the people we serve is noth-ing new in the Congregation. The stories we heard at Itaici show that this sharing the lot of people, in good times and bad, is still the ideal of Spiritans throughout the world. The present commitments of some of our confreres represent a real struggle as they question deep-rooted mentalities, structures and vested interests.
General Chapter, Itaici, 1992. No 4
1886 Brazil Amazonas

A missionary outreach to Brazil begins with Fr. S. Meagher. Others go to work with the Native Peoples (Cree) of Alberta.
Nous rendons grâce à Dieu de ce que l'identification avec les gens au service de qui nous sommes n'est pas une nouveauté dans la Congrégation. Les récits entendus à Itaïci nous ont montré que partager le sort des personnes, aux bons comme aux mauvais jours, est toujours l'idéal des Spiritains à travers le monde. L'engagement actuel de certains de nos confrères signifie un vrai combat lorsqu'il leur arrive de mettre en cause des mentalités profondément enracinées, des structures, des droits acquis.
Chap Gen. Itaïci, n°4
1886 Brésil
La communauté spiritaine de Notre Dame du Mont Carmel, à Sainte Marie de Bélem, Para (7 Pères, 3 Frères, 1 Scolastique) ouvre le collège. Il reçoit 116 élèves au cours de cette première année : 56 au niveau primaire et 60 au niveau secondaire.

1967 Trans-Canada
Commencement d’une extension missionnaire au Brésil avec le P. S. Meagher. D’autres vont travailler avec les Peuples Indigènes (Cree) d’Alberta.
Damos graças a Deus porque a identificação com o povo que servimos não é nada de novo na Congregação. Os relatórios apresentados em Itaici, mostram que partilhar a vida do povo, nos bons e maus momentos, continua a ser o ideal dos espiritanos em todos os cantos do mundo. Os actuais compromissos de alguns confrades representam um verdadeiro esforço na medida em que eles trabalham em situações em que as mentalidades estão profundamente radicadas em estruturas e em interesses adquiridos.
Capítulo Geral. Itaici, n°4
