You need to remain always in Our Lord in a great spirit of humiliation and love, letting him act rather than acting yourself; follow the movements that he gives you and the desires that he implants in you in all gentleness, peace and love, and in the deepest humility of your heart.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, I, 638, 1839.
Vous avez besoin de vous tenir toujours en Notre Seigneur dans un grand esprit d’humiliation et d’amour, le laissant faire plutôt que de faire vous-même. Suivez les mouvements qu’il vous donne et les désirs qu’il vous inspire en toute douceur, paix et amour, et dans la plus profonde humilité de votre coeur.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, I, 638, 1839.
Você tem necessidade de permanecer sempre com Nosso Senhor num grande espírito de humildade e de amor, deixando que seja o Senhor a agir, em vez de o fazer por si mesmo. Siga os movimentos que Ele lhe dá e os desejos que Ele lhe inspira com toda a suavidade, paz e amor, e na mais profunda humildade do seu coração.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, I, 638, 1839.
As soon as historical conditions made Spiritan missionaries possible (around 1730), foreign missions were added to the list of preferred poor and abandoned works. Then, the splendid work done by the few dozen priests who went to Canada and the Far East induced the Chaplain General of the colonies to propose that the Congregation accept formal charge of overseas assignments. When this proposal was accepted, the new situation induced the governing board of scholars and educators who, legally constituted the Institute, to accept missionaries as associates.

Dès que les conditions historiques ont rendu possibles les missionnaires spiritains (vers 1730), des missions à l’étranger furent ajoutées à la liste des oeuvres préférées pour les pauvres et les abandonnés. Puis, le travail splendide réalisé par les quelques douzaines de prêtres qui allèrent au Canada et en Asie incita l’Aumônier Général des colonies à proposer que la Congrégation accepte la charge formelle de nominations outre-mer. Lorsque cette proposition fut acceptée, la situation nouvelle amena le conseil de direction des savants et des éducateurs qui constituaient légalement l’institut à accepter des missionnaires comme associés.

Logo que se tornaram possíveis condições históricas aos missionários espiritanos – por volta de 1730 – as missões estrangeiras foram acrescentadas à lista dos trabalhos mais pobres. Então, o esplêndido trabalho feito pelas poucas dúzias de padres que foram para o Canadá e para o Leste longínquo induziram o capelão geral das colónias a propor à Congregação para aceitar oficialmente a instrução no ultramar. Quando esta proposta foi aceite, a nova situação induziu o conselho de administração responsável pelos estudantes e educadores que legalmente constituíam o Instituto, a aceitar missionários como associados.
