May the Spirit of Jesus dominate all your perceptions, direct and lead all the movements of your soul. May it communicate gentleness and humility to your heart.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, XIII, 144, 1851.
Que l’Esprit de Jésus domine toutes vos impressions, qu’il dirige et conduise tous les mouvements de votre âme. Qu’il communique à votre coeur la douceur et l’humilité.
François Libermann

Que o Espírito de Jesus domine todas as suas impressões, dirija e conduza todos os movimentos da sua alma. Que Ele comunique ao seu coração a mansidão e a humildade.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, XIII, 144, 1851.
I don't have the talents that a superior needs. He has to be at the very least at the level of his confreres but I am far below them- and that isn't just false humility. So my conclusion is that this small community of Mauritius needs a superior who is capable and formed in the religious spirit if it is to achieve the desired reform. If one of my confreres were to take my place, I would offer sincere thanks to God and the Blessed Virgin. However, if it is the will of God that I should stay, I will do my best, with the help of Our Lord, to do as little harm as possible.
Jacques Laval to Ignace Schwindenhammer, Superior General. 17.12.1854

Je n’ai pas (non plus) les talents que l’on demande d’un supérieur ; il faudrait au moins être au niveau de ses confrères, et quant à moi je suis au-dessous ; ce n’est pas de l’humilité à crochet. De là je conclus que pour faire entrer la petite communauté de Maurice dans la réforme désirée, il faudrait nommer un supérieur formé à l’esprit religieux et capable Si un de mes confrères prenait ma place, j’en rendrais de grandes actions de grâces au Bon Dieu et à la très sainte Vierge Marie. Cependant si c’est la volonté de Dieu que je reste à ma place, je tâcherai avec l’aide de Notre-Seigneur de faire le moins mal possible
P.Laval à son supérieur général, 17.12.1854

Não tenho (tão pouco) as qualidades que são exigidas a um superior; seria preciso pelos menos estar ao nível dos seus confrades, e quanto a mim estou abaixo; não é falsa humildade. Daí concluo que para fazer entrar a pequena comunidade da Maurícia na reforma desejada, seria preciso nomear um superior formado no espírito religioso e capaz. Se um dos meus confrades me substituísse daria muitas graças a Deus e à Santíssima Virgem. No entanto se é a vontade de Deus que fique no meu lugar, procurarei com a ajuda de Nosso Senhor, fazer o menos mal possível.
