For all those who desire to obtain the salvation and the sanctification of souls, the great means that they have is to go to Our Lord with this devotion to drink from the divine fountain of his Heart, and to practice it with this whole and perfect faith, in order that this salutary waters firstly fill them fully themselves.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Commentary of Saint John, 328.
Pour tous ceux qui désirent procurer le salut et la sanctification des âmes, le grand moyen qu’ils ont, c’est d’aller à Notre Seigneur avec cette ferveur de dévotion pour boire à la divine fontaine de son Coeur, et de s’y appliquer avec cette foi entière et parfaite, afin que ces eaux salutaires les remplissent d’abord pleinement eux-mêmes.
François Libermann
Cf. Commentaire de Saint Jean, 328.
Para todos os que desejam alcançar a salvação e a santificação das almas, o grande meio de que dispõem, é ir a Nosso Senhor com este fervor de devoção para beber na fonte divina do seu Coração, e aí se aplicarem com esta fé inteira e perfeita, para que estas águas salutares os encham primeiro a eles próprios.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Comentário de São João, 328.
I do not know if I was right, I felt that since they (people being directed by Libermann) were really trying to live the interior life and to renounce all things, that God himself would perfect their approach to prayer; if they continued to aim at a spirituality of peace and gentleness, at moderation and a serious attitude, they would surely get to know God and follow his inspirations. Whenever they talked to me about it, I would examine what attracted them in the interior life and the way in which they prayed; I tried to correct what was defective, but in general, I did not interfere. I believe that gradually they were led to prayer of faith and union with God through an uncomplicated type of contemplation.
Libermann to Poupart, 01.01.1839. L.S.II 386-390
1726 C.S.Sp.

Up to this date, French Spiritans have worked in St. Pierre and Miquelon and Acadia (Canada) as misionar-ies to the Indians or as seminary professors in Quebec City. But henceforth, with the gradual establishment of a British Colony, the French Spiritans are expelled from mainland Canada. They continue to work in St. Pierre and Miquelon.

Jacques Laval is joined by two more confreres: Fathers Bourget and Tanguy.
Je ne sais si je faisais bien; mais je pensais que, puisqu'ils (ses dirigés) cherchaient à être intérieurs et renoncés en tout, Dieu perfectionnerait en eux l'esprit d'oraison, et que, visant toujours à la paix et à la douceur intérieure, à la modération et à la gravité d'esprit, ils ne manqueraient pas de connaître et de suivre Dieu et ses inspirations. Lorsqu'ils m'en parlaient, je sondais leurs goûts intérieurs et leur manière de faire oraison; je tâchais de rectifier ce que je croyais défectueux, mais je les laissais faire. Et il me semble que peu à peu ils étaient menés à cette oraison pure de la foi et de l'union à Dieu par une simple contemplation.
Fr. Libermann, à Poupart, 01.01.1839, L.S. II 386-390
1726 C.S.Sp.

Le P. Laval salue l'arrivée de deux nouveaux confrères: les PP. Bourget et Tanguy En février 1855, le P. Buguel débarque à Port-Louis, en mars c'est le P. François qui arrive de Bourbon.
Não sei se eu fazia bem; mas pensava que, uma vez que eles (os seus dirigidos) procuravam ser interiores e renunciados em tudo, Deus aperfeiçoaria neles o espírito de oração, e que, tendo sempre em vista a paz e a doçura interior, a moderação e a serenidade de espírito, não deixariam de conhecer e seguir Deus e as suas inspirações. Quando me falavam nisso, eu sondava os seus gostos interiores e a sua maneira de fazer oração; procurava rectificar o que eu julgava defeituoso, mas deixava-os agir. E parece-me que pouco a pouco eram levados a esta oração pura da fé e da união a Deus por uma simples contemplação.
Fr. Libermann, a Poupart, 01.01.1839, L.S. 386-390
1726 C.S.Sp.
