During the novitiate, it is something like rowing a boat, then on becoming an apostle, one sets out to the sea and the sails have to be unfurled, because it is now a boat magnificently laden. So the apostles are still in the world but not of the world. Nevertheless, in order that our missionaries also have external grace to strengthen them against the external world, we have community life which shelters them from the external dangers of this world, as Our Lord’s grace shelters them from the spirit of the world.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, XIII, 709, 1851.
Pendant le noviciat, c’est comme une barque qui va un peu à la rame, puis en devenant apôtre, on avance en mer, et il y a à tendre la voilure, parce que c’est désormais un vaisseau à magnifique chargement. Alors les apôtres sont encore dans le monde, mais ne sont pas du monde. Cependant, pour que nos missionnaires aient aussi la grâce extérieure qui les fortifie contre le monde extérieur, nous avons la vie de communauté qui met à l’abri des écueils extérieurs du monde, comme la grâce de Notre Seigneur met à l’abri contre l’esprit du monde.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, XIII, 709, 1851.
Durante o noviciado é como uma barca avançando a remar, depois, tornando-se apóstolo, avança-se no mar, estendem-se as velas, porque agora trata-se dum navio com uma carga magnífica. Então os apóstolos estão ainda no mundo, mas não são do mundo. No entanto, para que os missionários tenham também a graça que os fortifica contra o mundo exterior, temos a vida de comunidade que protege contra os escolhos exteriores do mundo, assim como a graça de Nosso Senhor protege contra o espírito do mundo.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, XIII, 709, 1851.
The future looks bright for the Oeuvre d'Auteuil and our founders would surely be happy at the prospect. If Père Libermann would rejoice to see his sons looking after the first sanctuary in Paris in honour of the patron of the missions (St. Theresa), Poullart des Place would be equally pleased that the Congregation he founded to help the "poor scholars" was now caring for poor and abandoned orphans, and that perhaps in the future, a great number of destitute children without a family will be welcomed by his sons.
Père Brottier, 01.01.1936. Lt.14.

1983 Guadeloupe
Nous avons parlé à Maynooth des "sources d'inspiration". Avant d'être un corps organisé pour l'action, notre Congrégation est et doit être un corps organisé pour capter l'inspiration, comme un grand navire qui déploie toutes ses voiles et dont l'équipage est solidaire pour le meilleur et pour le pire.~ La vision du Chapitre de Maynooth nous fait vivre de manière plus unifiée les quatre dimensions de notre engagement: missionnaire, communautaire, spirituel, ouvert à la collaboration. Ces composantes de notre vie religieuse missionnaire se renforcent l'une l'autre comme les brins tressés d'un cordage.
Chapitre général de Maynooth, 01 & 05

1983 Guadeloupe
Ordination épiscopale de Mgr Ernest Cabo, originaire de Sainte-Rose, auxiliaire de Mgr Oualli. L'année suivante, à la démission de ce dernier, Mgr Cabo devient évêque de la Guadeloupe.
Em Maynooth falámos das “fontes da inspiração”. Antes de ser um corpo organizado para a acção, a nossa Congregação é, e deve ser, um corpo organizado para captar inspiração, como um grande barco que desfralda todas as suas velas para apanhar o vento, cuja tripulação está unida para o melhor ou para o pior. A visão do Capítulo de Maynooth dá maior unidade às quatro dimensões do nosso compromisso : missionário, comunitário, espiritual e aberto à colaboração. Estes elementos da nossa vida missionária reforçam-nos mutuamente como os fios entrançados de uma corda.
Capítulo Geral de Maynooth.
