In order that Jesus to lives in those he sends and to do all things in them and through them, it is necessary that they live in him, be united with him in their life, their sufferings and their action apostolic activity. If this is not so, they only have a semblance of being sent by Jesus Christ only in figure and are not really so.
Francis Libermann
Spiritual Writings, 374, 1838.
Pour que Jésus vive dans ses envoyés et fasse toute chose en eux et par eux, il est nécessaire que ceux-ci vivent en lui, soient unis avec lui dans leur vie, leurs souffrances et leur action apostolique. S’il n’en est pas ainsi, ils ne sont les envoyés de Jésus-Christ qu’en figure et ils n’ont rien de réel.
François Libermann
Cf. Ecrits Spirituels, 374.
Para que Jesus viva nos seus enviados e faça tudo neles e por eles, é necessário que estes vivam n’Ele, estejam unidos a Ele na vida, nos sofrimentos e na ação apostólica. Se não for assim, eles são só uma figura de enviados de Jesus Cristo e nada têm de autêntico.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Escritos Espirituais, 374.
The more we get to know him, the more we appreciate and admire him. He has an extraordinary prudence in what he does, a clarity of view, an aura of peace and yet a great strength of heart and soul in difficult and irritating moments. He has calmness, strength, patience and courage- all of which come from God. He is not a great intel-lectual - he is far more than that: he is totally possessed by the spirit and life of Jesus! Pray with us to Our Lady that she will let him stay with us for a long time yet.
Le Vavasseur, talking of Libermann. N.D. (appendix) p.151-152

Plus nous le (P. Libermann) connaissons, plus nous l'apprécions, plus nous l'admirons. Quelle prudence dans les affaires, quelle vue sûre, quelle paix, quelle puissance sur son âme et son cœur dans les moments irritants, difficiles! Il a un calme, une force, une patience, un courage qui est tout de Dieu. Ce n'est pas un grand savant, mais il y a bien plus que tout cela: l'esprit et la vie de Jésus en lui.? Aidez-nous à demander à la Sainte Vierge qu'elle nous le laisse encore longtemps.
Le Vavasseur, N.& D. Compléments p.151-152

Quanto mais o conhecemos (o P. Libermann) mais o apreciamos, mais o admiramos. Que prudência nos negócios, que visão segura, que paz, que poder sobre a sua alma e o seu coração nas horas amargas, difíceis.! Ele tem uma calma, uma força, uma paciência, uma coragem que é toda de Deus. Não é um grande sábio, mas tem muito mais que tudo isso: o espírito e a vida de Jesus nele. Ajude-nos a pedir à Santíssima Virgem que no-lo conserve ainda muito tempo.
