A missionary who would have these virtues of humility and gentleness deeply engraved in his soul and who would make them enter into all his dispositions and ways of acting, this missionary would be sanctified by the Spirit of God.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, XIII, 144, 1851.
Un missionnaire qui aurait ces vertus d’humilité et de douceur profondément gravées dans son âme et qui les ferait entrer dans toutes ses habitudes intérieures et dans ses actes, ce missionnaire serait sanctifié par l’Esprit de Dieu.

The second aspect of the Spiritan charism of availability is evangelical poverty in its twofold dimension: material poverty and spiritual poverty. The first can be summarised thus: while respecting the basic needs of life, we should have a moderated attitude towards material goods, both as individuals and as communities. Spiritual poverty means that we will cultivate an attitude of permanent open-ness to the world and to the constant changes that life brings.

Le second aspect du charisme spiritain d’ authentique disponibilité évangélique, c’est la pauvreté évangélique dans sa double dimension : pauvreté matérielle et pauvreté spirituelle. La première peut s’exprimer en quelques mots : tout en respectant les besoins fondamentaux de la vie, avoir une attitude modérée par rapport aux biens matériels, tant pour chaque personne que pour la communauté. Au niveau spirituel, la pauvreté évangélique demande une constante attention à ce que nous apporte la vie dans ses changements constants : une attitude d’ouverture au monde.

O segundo aspecto do carisma espiritano de autêntica disponibilidade evangélica, é a pobreza evangélica na sua dupla dimensão: pobreza material e pobreza espiritual. A primeira pode exprimir-se em algumas palavras: respeitando inteiramente as necessidades fundamentais da vida, ter uma atitude moderada com relação aos bens materiais, tanto para cada pessoa como para a comunidade. A nível espiritual, a pobreza evangélica exige uma atenção permanente ao que a vida nos traz nas suas mutações constantes: uma atitude de abertura ao mundo.
