I want to tell you of the great mercy and goodness of Our Lord Jesus Christ towards an unworthy servant who does not deserve so much as to pronounce his holy name. I have just been ordained priest this morning. God knows what I have received on this great day! And only God knows!
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, II, 497, 1841.
Je vais vous annoncer la grande miséricorde et bonté de Notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ envers un indigne serviteur qui ne mérite pas seulement de prononcer son saint nom. Je viens d’être ordonné prêtre ce matin. Dieu sait ce que j’ai reçu en ce grand jour! Et Dieu seul le sait!
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, II, 497, 1841.
Vou anunciar-vos a grande misericórdia e bondade de Nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo para com um indigno servo que nem merece mesmo pronunciar o seu santo nome. Acabo de ser ordenado padre esta manhã. Deus sabe o que recebi nesse dia tão grande! E só Deus o sabe!
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, II, 497, 1841.
In 1733, the Spiritans obtained access to the Far East when Fr. Guillaume Rivoal was sent to Cochin China by the Foreign Missions Society. Others followed. How many is difficult to determine, but 23 years later in 1756, the Spiritan missionary in China, Peter Kerverhé wrote to Fr. Darragon, then one of the directors of the Foreign Missions Society and himself also a former student of the Holy Ghost Seminary, that 4 of the 6 bishops of the Foreign Missions in the Far East were Spiritans.

L’année 1733, les prêtres du Séminaire du St Esprit eurent accès à l’Extrême-Orient, quand le Spiritain Guillaume Rivoal fut envoyé en Cochinchine par les Missions Étrangères. D’autres suivirent. On ne peut en préciser le nombre, mais 25 ans plus tard, en 1758, M. Pierre Kerhervé écrivait à M. Darragon, un des directeurs de la Société et lui-même ancien élève du Séminaire du Saint-Esprit, que, sur les six évêques envoyés par les Missions Étrangères en Extrême Orient, quatre étaient spiritains au Cambodge, au Tonkin et en Chine. ~ Plusieurs évêques parmi les Spiritains furent donc envoyés en mission sous couvert des Missions Étrangères.

Outros se seguiram. Não se pode precisar o seu número, mas 25 anos mais tarde, em 1758, M. Pierre Kerhervé escrevia a M.
