It is sufficient for me therefore to give my soul unceasingly to Jesus Christ our Lord and to the Most Blessed Virgin our good Mother, so that the divine Spirit may be absolute master in you, that he may fill you and unite you to Jesus and Mary, in the same union of the most holy love, with which he has united them together.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Spiritual Letters, II, 424, 1940.
Il me suffit donc de donner sans cesse votre âme à Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur et à la très Sainte Vierge notre bonne Mère, afin que le divin Esprit soit maître absolu en vous, qu’il vous remplisse et qu’il vous unisse à Jésus et à Marie, de la même union, d’amour très saint dont il les a unis ensemble.
François Libermann
Cf. Lettres Spirituelles, II, 424, 1840.
Basta-me então entregar sem cessar a vossa alma a Jesus Cristo nosso Senhor e à Santíssima Virgem nossa boa Mãe, para que o divino Espírito seja em vós Mestre absoluto, vos encha e vos una a Jesus e a Maria, da mesma união, do amor santíssimo com com que vos reuniu.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Cartas Espirituais, II, 424, 1840.
Why do we fail to make progress in our union with God? Because we are never within ourselves to listen to him. We don't hear him because there is no peace and recollection in our souls; we are too excitable both inside and outside ourselves, too preoccupied with our own ideas- perhaps even too caught up with a desire for spiritual progress. We must not just give ourselves internally to him; all our life, our feelings, our preferences, joys and sorrows must be in him, through him and with him: "It is no longer I who live".
Libermann: E.S. supplement, p. 17-19

Pourquoi ne faisons-nous pas de progrès dans l'union à Dieu ? parce que nous ne sommes jamais au dedans de nous pour l'écouter. Nous ne l'écoutons pas, parce que nous manquons de recueillement et de paix intérieure, et que nous nous laissons aller à l'empressement, à la vivacité intérieure et extérieure, à la préoccupation d'esprit, au désir trop violent même d'un bien spirituel. Non seulement les actions de notre âme mais aussi toute sa vie avec ses impressions, ses goûts, ses joies, ses tristesses, doivent être en lui, par lui et avec lui : « Ce n’est plus moi qui vis, etc. ».
Libermann, E.S.S., p.17-19
1880 Congo Kinshasa
Fondation de Boma sous le patronage de Notre-Dame des Victoires  Les Spiritains quittent Boma en 1888. Le premier prêtre d'origine zaïroise, l'Abbé Maombe, ordonné en 1897, vient de la mission de Boma de cette époque.

1969 Espagne

Porque não progredimos na nossa união com Deus ? Porque nunca estamos dentro de nós para o escutar. Não o escutamos porque nos falta recolhimento e paz interior e deixamo-nos levar pela pressa, pela vivacidade interior e exterior, pela preocupação do espírito, pelo desejo muito violento mesmo dum bem espiritual. Não só as acções da nossa alma mas também toda a sua vida com as suas impressões, gostos, alegrias, tristezas, devem estar nele, por ele e com ele: “Já não sou eu que vivo, etc..."
Libermann, E.SS. p.17-19
