Support one another mutually, put up with your faults, ease your mutual troubles, comfort your confreres, do not judge them, love them, and be gentle towards them, even when you happen not to be of the same opinion as your confreres.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Spiritual Letters, IV, 458, 1847.
Supportez-vous mutuellement les uns les autres, supportez vos défauts, adoucissez vos peines mutuelles, soulagez vos confrères, ne les jugez pas, aimez-les et soyez doux à leur égard même quand il vous arrive de n’être pas du même avis que vos confrères.
François Libermann
Cf. Lettres Spirituelles, IV, 458, 1847.
Suportai-vos mutuamente, suportai os vossos defeitos, suavisai os sofrimentos uns dos outros, aliviai os vossos confrades, não os julgueis, amai-os e sede mansos para com eles mesmo quando acontece não serdes da mesma opinião.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Cartas Espirituais , IV, 458, 1847.
With the passage of time, all institutes grow old in their commitments and fall away from their ideal. There is constant need for the Congregation to rejuvenate itself, especially in these times of falling numbers. Our first criteria are our traditional ones: 'the poor and abandoned', 'difficult situations', works for which it is difficult to find personnel'. A missionary Congregation has to respond to the missionary challenges of the day if it is to maintain its credibility. The commitments of the past must be confronted with the calls of the present: from the poor who suffer injustice and have their human rights spurned, from neglected minorities, from the victims of ra-cism, from the refugee and migrants.

The 5th Enlarged General Council is held at Dakar in Senegal. There are 51 Spiritans present.
Avec le temps, tout institut vieillit dans ses engagements et s’éloigne de son idéal. Rajeunir la Congrégation est une nécessité constante, plus spécialement en période de baisse numérique. Nos critères traditionnels sont nos premiers critères : les pauvres et abandonnés, les situations difficiles, la difficulté de trouver des ouvriers. Une Congrégation se doit (aussi) de répondre aux situations missionnaires qui évoluent si elle veut garder sa crédibilité pour la Mission d’aujourd’hui, et d’être attentive aux tournants de la Mission.
3° C.G.E., Carcavelos, mai 1982
1919 Sénégal
Dès la fin de la guerre, Mgr Jalabert va trouver à Paris le Père Daniel Brottier pour relancer l’œuvre du Souvenir Africain imaginée en 1912 : créer à Dakar une cathédrale où serait conservé le souvenir de tous les morts de l’Afrique sous dépendance française.

1995 C.S.Sp.
Le Cinquième Conseil général élargi se tient à Dakar. Il réunit 51 Spiritains.
Com o tempo, todo o Instituto envelhece nos seus compromissos e afasta-se do seu ideal. Rejuvenescer a Congregação é um necessidade constante, mais particularmente num tempo em que os números diminuem. Os nossos critérios tradicionais são os primeiros critérios: os pobres e abandonados, as situações difíceis, a dificuldade em encontrar obreiros. Uma Congregação tem (também) o dever de responder às situações missionárias que evoluem, se ela quiser conservar a sua credibilidade para a Missão de hoje, e estar atenta às mudanças da Missão.
3 º CGA, Carcavelos, Maio de 1982
