What strikes me the most is that God has given us the responsibility for the mission of Guinea, and that he gives us all a burning desire to convert that country, and, at the same time, that he stops us in the middle of our tracks and takes precisely those who seemed to be the most capable of furthering your efforts and mine. What are we to conclude from this action of God? He will show us his plans clearly when the time comes.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Spiritual Letters, IV, 680, 1851.
Ce qui me frappe le plus, c’est que Dieu nous a chargés de cette mission de la Guinée, et en même temps il nous enlève précisément ceux qui semblaient être les plus capables de seconder vos efforts et les miens. Que conclure de cette conduite de Dieu? Il nous manifestera ses desseins quand le temps en sera venu.
François Libermann
Cf. Lettres Spirituelles, IV, 680, 1851.
O que mais me impressiona, é que Deus nos encarregou desta missão da Guiné e ao mesmo tempo nos retira precisamente aqueles que pareciam ser os mais capazes de secundar os vossos esforços e os meus. Que conclusão tirar deste comportamento de Deus ? Chegada a hora Ele nos manifestará os seus desígnios.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Cartas Espirituais, IV, 680, 1851.
I have had the joy of making my perpetual vows in the church of Sainte-Croix in the presence of the Reverend Father Visitor. I believe that I made them with all my heart and with the desire to be a good religious and missionary, living in conformity with the Rules and Constitutions. So here I am, by the mercy of Our Lord and the goodness of the Holy heart of Mary, a simple missionary and religious. As a labourer of the eleventh hour, I will try to make up for all the faults of my long-lasting pride by a life of complete obedience to our holy Rules and Constitutions.

J’ai eu le bonheur de faire mes vœux perpétuels à notre église de la Sainte-Croix en la présence de notre Révérend Père Visiteur. Il me semble devant Notre-Seigneur que je les ai faits de bon cœur et avec un bon désir d’être un bon religieux et missionnaire en vivant conformément à nos saintes Règles et Constitutions ~ Me voilà donc rendu par l’infinie miséricorde de Notre-Seigneur et la divine bonté du très saint Cœur de Marie à la place de simple missionnaire et religieux. Je vais, ouvrier de la onzième heure, m’efforcer de réparer toutes les fautes de ma trop longue supériorité par une vie toute d’obéissance à nos saintes règles et constitutions. Heureux et bienheureux… qui les observera fidèlement

Tive a felicidade de fazer os meus votos perpétuos na Igreja da Santa Cruz na presença do nosso Reverendo Padre Visitador. Parece-me diante de Nosso Senhor que os fiz com o maior prazer e com um grande desejo de ser um bom religioso e missionário vivendo de harmonia com as nossas santas Regras e Constituições... Eis-me portanto, pela infinita misericórdia de Nosso Senhor e a divina bondade do Santíssimo Coração de Maria, um simples missionário e religioso. Eu, operário da última hora, vou-me esforçar por reparar todas as faltas da minha grande superioridade por uma vida toda de obediência às nossas santas Regras e Constituições. Feliz e bem-aventurado... quem as observa fielmente.
