Are you going to give in to anxiety and discouragement because a man leaves us, a man who brought nothing but talents, a name and a fortune? What is all this? The works of God are not done that way. God does not want them to be attributed to human power; his own power must be recognized in them.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, II, 160, 1852.
Vous vous laissez aller à l’inquiétude et au découragement parce qu’un homme nous quitte, un homme qui n’apportait que des talents, un nom et une fortune ! Qu’est-ce-que c’est que tout cela ? Ce n’est pas ainsi que se font les oeuvres de Dieu. Dieu ne veut pas que l’on puisse les attribuer à la puissance des hommes. Il veut qu’on y reconnaisse la sienne.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, II, 160, 1852.
Você deixa-se invadir pela inquietação e pelo desânimo porque um homem nos abandona, um homem que só trazia talentos, um nome e uma fortuna ! O que é isso ? Não é assim que se fazem as obras de Deus. Deus não quer que as atribuamos ao poder dos homens. Ele quer que aí reconheçamos o seu.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, II, 160, 1852.
God is full of a tender love for me and is anxious that I should not get lost; he arranged for me to do this retreat when nothing was further from my mind. He has made it easy for me to find a path that would lead me back again to my duty and away from all those specious excuses that could help me avoid it. I believe that God will once again have pity on me if I return to him with all my heart. So now that God has filled me with this renewed confidence, I am going to search for the most direct path that will lead me back to him- without whom, try as I will, I cannot find a moment of peace in this life.

Toujours rempli de tendresse pour moi, ne pouvant se résoudre à me perdre, Il (Dieu) a permis que j'aie fait cette retraite dans un temps où je n'y pensais point, il a disposé d'ailleurs toutes choses d'une manière que je trouve aisément un chemin ouvert pour rentrer encore une fois dans mon devoir et pour n’avoir pas de si spécieux prétextes d’en ressortir. Je dois croire que le Bon Dieu aura encore pitié de moi, si je retourne à lui de tout mon cœur. Rempli de cette sainte confiance par la grâce encore de mon Dieu, je vais donc examiner quel chemin est le plus court pour regagner celui sans lequel je ne puis, quoi que je fasse, vivre un moment en paix.

Sempre cheio de ternura por mim, não podendo resolver-se a perder-me, ele (Deus) permitiu que eu fizesse este retiro, quando não pensava nada nele; por outro lado dispôs tudo para eu encontrar facilmente um caminho aberto de modo a cumprir o meu dever e para não ter tantos falsos pretextos para sair dele. Devo acreditar que o bom Deus ainda terá piedade de mim, se eu voltar a ele de todo o coração. Cheio desta santa confiança ainda pela graça do meu Deus, vou portanto examinar qual é o caminho mais curto para reconquistar aquele sem o qual não posso viver um momento em paz, faça o que fizer.
