When obstacles arise, you have to go, go always, remain at the foot of the wall, wait for it to fall, then pass over it.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, II, 160, 1841.
Quand les obstacles se présentent, il faut aller, aller toujours, rester au pied du mur, attendre qu’il tombe et alors on passe par-dessus.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, II, 160, 1841.
Quando os obstáculos se apresentam, devemos ir sempre em frente, ficar ao pé do muro, esperar que ele caía e depois passar por cima.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, II, 160, 1841.
The wind blows wherever it wants: you hear its sound but you do not know where it comes from. Blessed is the one who listens to this divine voice and follows it! Holy and adorable Spirit of Jesus, help me to hear this gentle voice. Refresh me with your welcome breeze. Holy Spirit, I want to be like a feather in your path, so that your breath will carry me wherever you want and I shall never put up any resistance.
Libermann: Commentary on St. John: 3.8
1852 C.S.Sp.
Libermann gives his final testament: "Be fervent, always fervent... and above all, charity. Charity in Jesus Christ, by Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus Christ... fervour, charity, unity in Jesus Christ. To the community he added, "I am seeing you for the last time, I am happy to see you... Sacrifice yourselves for Jesus, for Jesus alone... God is all, man is nothing. The spirit of sacrifice, zeal for souls and the glory of God".

« Le vent souffle où il veut: tu entends le bruit qu'il fait, mais tu ne sais pas d’où il vient… » (3,8) Heureux celui qui écoute bien cette divine voix et qui la suit! O très saint et très adorable Esprit de mon Jésus, faites-moi entendre votre douce et adorable voix. Rafraîchissez-moi par votre souffle délicieux. O divin Esprit, je veux être devant vous comme une plume légère, afin que votre souffle m'emporte n'importe où il veut et que je n'y apporte jamais la moindre résistance.
Dans le Commentaire sur l’Évangile de St Jean, 3,8
1852 C.S.Sp.
Le P. Libermann donne ses dernières recommandations : "Être fervents, fervents, toujours fervents... et surtout la charité. Charité en Jésus-Christ, par Jésus-Christ, au nom de Jésus-Christ... Ferveur, charité, Union en Jésus-Christ." A la communauté :"Je vous vois pour la dernière fois, je suis heureux de vous voir... Sacrifiez-vous pour Jésus, pour Jésus seul... Dieu, c'est tout. L'homme n'est rien. Esprit de sacrifice, zèle pour la gloire de Dieu et les âmes."

O vento sopra onde quer: tu ouves a sua voz mas não sabes donde vem...(Jo. 3,8). Feliz o que escuta esta voz divina e que a segue. Ó santíssimo e adorabilíssimo Espírito do meu Jesus, faz-me ouvir a tua doce e adorável voz. Refresca-me com o teu sopro delicioso. Ó divino Espírito, eu quero ser diante de ti como uma leve pena, afim de que o teu sopro me conduza para onde ele quer e que eu não lhe ofereça nunca a menor resistência.
No Comentário do Evangelho de S. João, 3,8
1852 C.S.Sp.
