All rigidity of will, all trust in oneself and one’s own ideas must disappear, and be wiped out, if one is to possess these two magnificent virtues which are gentleness and humility.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, XIII, 144, 1851.
Toute raideur de volonté, toute confiance en soi et à ses idées doivent disparaître, être anéantis pour qu’on possède ces deux magnifiques vertus que sont la douceur et l’humilité.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, XIII, 144, 1851.
Toda a dureza de vontade, toda a confiança em si próprio e nas suas ideias devem desaparecer, ser aniquiladas para que se possua estas duas magníficas virtudes que são a mansidão e a humildade.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, XIII, 144, 1851.
There are some countries and geographic and cultural areas which do not have a local community of Christians; elsewhere such communities are so small that they are hardly a clear sign of the Christian presence in the area. In Asia in general, where mission 'ad gentes' must now be given priority, Christians are a small minority, even if at times there are significant movements of conversion and remarkable types of Christian presence.
Populorum Progressio no. 37
1848 Holy Heart of Mary
After the students of the young congregation have left La Neuville for l'Abbaye Notre Dame-du-Garde (November 1846), the noviciate, directed by François Libermann, also moves to Notre Dame in order to save money.
1940 Sierra Leone
During the Second World War, Freetown harbour became a huge centre for the Royal Navy and there were also many army camps near the town. Bishop Kelly received no extra help and yet he allowed three of his priests to become full-time army chaplains and two part-time.
1955 TransCanada
Irish Spiritans open a residence in Woodstock (Ontario) in Canada. This is the first step in the development of the new circumscription.
1998 Taiwan
The second Spiritan appointed to Taiwan, James Sandy, joins Seán O'Leary and starts to study Chinese.
Il existe des pays et des aires géographiques et culturelles sans communauté chrétienne autochtone; ailleurs, ces communautés sont si petites qu’elles ne constituent pas un signe clair de la présence chrétienne... Sur le continent asiatique en particulier, vers lequel devrait se diriger en priorité la mission ad gentes, les chrétiens sont en petite minorité, même si parfois on y constate des mouvements de conversions significatifs et de remarquables modes de présence chrétienne.

1848 Saint Cœur de Marie
Après que les étudiants de la jeune Congrégation du St Cœur de Marie de Marie aient quitté La Neuville pour l’Abbaye Notre-Dame du Gard (novembre 1846), le noviciat, dirigé par le P. Libermann (transféré au Faubourg-Noyon, Amiens, le 23.04.1847) rejoint Notre-Dame du Gard pour des raisons d'économie financière.
1940 Sierra Leone
Pendant les années de la seconde guerre mondiale, le port de Freetown devient un centre important pour la Marine de Guerre, avec bon nombre de camps militaires autour de Colona. Mgr Kelly ne reçoit aucune aide nouvelle, et pourtant il permet à trois de ses prêtres d’être aumôniers militaires à plein temps et deux autres à temps partiel.
1955 TransCanadá
Les Spiritains irlandais ouvrent une résidence à Woodstock (Ontario) au Canada. C’est le premier pas dans l’expansion de notre nouvelle circonscription.
1998 Taïwan
Le second Spiritain affecté à Taiwan, James Sandy, rejoint Seán O’Leary et se met lui-aussi à l’étude de la langue chinoise.
Existem países e áreas geográficas e culturais sem comunidade cristã autóctone; por outro lado estas comunidades são tão pequenas que não constituem um sinal claro da presença cristã... No continente asiático em particular, para o qual se devia dirigir prioritariamente a missão ad gentes, os cristãos são em pequena minoria, mesmo que por vezes existam movimentos de conversão significativos e maneiras notáveis de presença cristã.
Populorum Progressio nº 37
1848 S. C. de Maria
Depois dos estudantes da jovem Congregação do Sagrado Coração de Maria deixarem La Neuville para a Abadia Dame-du-Gard (Novembro de 1846), o noviciado, dirigido pelo P. Libermann (transferido para Faubourg-Noyon, Amiens a 23.04.1847) volta para Notre-Dame du Gard por razões financeiras.
1940 Serra Leoa
Durante a segunda guerra mundial o porto de Freetown torna-se um centro importante para a Marinha de guerra, com muitos campos militares à volta de Colona. Mgr Kelly não recebe nenhuma nova ajuda, e no entanto permite a três dos seus padres serem capelães militares a tempo inteiro e outros dois a tempo parcial.
1955 TransCanadá
Os espiritanos irlandeses abrem uma residência em Woodstock, (Ontário), no Canadá. É o primeiro passo para o desenvolvimento duma nova circunscrição de expressão inglesa.
1998 Taiwan
O segundo espiritano nomeado para Taiwan, James Sandy, junta-se a Seán O’Leary e começa também a estudar a língua chinesa.
