This community life has been adopted in the Congregation as something essential with the express intention of forewarning the missionaries against exterior dangers and to maintain them in the religious fervour which gives life to the apostolate.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, XIII, 709, 1851.
Cette vie de communauté a été adoptée dans la Congrégation comme une chose essentielle dans la vue expresse de prémunir les missionnaires, contre les dangers extérieurs et pour les maintenir dans la ferveur religieuse qui donne vie à l’apostolat.

Esta vida de comunidade foi adotada na Congregação como uma coisa essencial, de propósito para proteger os missionários contra os perigos exteriores e para os manter no fervor religioso que dá vida ao apostolado.

At present, Christianity is in search of a basic spirituality that is meaningful not only for members of a specific religious community in a specific culture but for all cultures. By means of foundational tracing, we trace in various spiritualities and their masters those elements that are fundamental for any spirituality and a priori for a transcultural, missionary spirituality. Not all masters of the spiritual life have equally elaborated such basic elements. Due to his special grace and calling, background and apostolic concern, our Venerable Father in this regard is unique.

De nos jours, le Christianisme est à la recherche d’une spiritualité de base qui soit signifiante non seulement pour les membres ‘une communauté religieuse spécifique, mais pour tous les chrétiens de toutes cultures. Un moyen de mettre à jour une telle spiritualité transculturelle ou missionnaire nous est fourni par la méthode des pistes de base. Cette méthode retrace dans les diverses spiritualités et leurs maîtres les éléments fondamentaux à toute spiritualité et, à priori, à toute spiritualité transculturelle, missionnaire. Ce ne sont pas tous les maîtres de la vie spirituelle qui ont élaboré avec un égal bonheur de tels éléments de base. De par sa grâce et son appel propres, ses antécédents et sa visée apostolique, la contribution de notre Vénérable Père sous ce rapport est unique.

No nosso tempo o Cristianismo anda à procura duma espiritualidade de base que seja significativa não só para os membros duma comunidade religiosa específica, mas para todos os cristãos de todas as culturas. U m meio de actualizar uma tal espiritualidade transcultural ou missionária é-nos fornecido pelo método das pistas de base. Este método delineia nas diversas espiritualidades e nos seus mestres os elementos fundamentais de qualquer espiritualidade e, a priori, de toda a espiritualidade transcultural, missionária. Não são todos os mestres da vida espiritual que elaboraram com igual sorte de tais elementos de base. Através da sua graça e seu apelo próprios, os seus antecedentes e a sua visão apostólica, a contribuição do nosso Venerável Padre sob este aspecto é única.
