When obstacles appear, we must go forward, forward all the time, stay at the foot of the wall, wait until it falls, and then pass over it and move on.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, II, 160, 1852.
Quand les obstacles se présentent, il faut aller, aller toujours, rester au pied du mur, attendre qu’il tombe, et alors on passe par-dessus.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, II, 160, 1852.
Quando os obstáculos se apresentam, é preciso continuar, continuar sempre, permanecer ao pé do muro, esperar que ele caia, e então passar por cima.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, II, 160, 1852.
They (the products of the Seminaire du Saint-Esprit) consecrate themselves preferably to missionary activity both foreign and domestic, offering to go and stay in the poorest and most abandoned places for which it is especially difficult to find candidates. Whether it is a question of being exiled into the remote countryside or buried in the caverns of a hospital, teaching in a college, lecturing in a seminary, directing a poor community, travelling to the farthest corners of the Kingdom of France or staying there in an austere post, whether it is a question even of crossing the seas and going to the very ends of the earth to gain a soul for Christ- their motto is 'Behold, we are ready to do your will: Ecce ego, mitte me'.
Charles Besnard: Vie de Grignon de Montfort

Qu'il faille être relégué dans le fond d'une campagne, ou enseveli dans le coin d'un hôpital, instruire dans un collège, enseigner dans un séminaire ou diriger dans une pauvre communauté, se transporter aux extrémités du royaume, ou y continuer une austère résidence, qu'il faille même traverser les mers et aller jusqu'au bout du monde pour gagner une âme à Jésus Christ, leur devise (des prêtres formés par le Séminaire du St Esprit) est: nous voilà prêts à exécuter vos volontés: ecce ego, mitte me (Is. VI, 8).
Ch. Besnard, Vie de L.M. Grignon de Montfort
1827 Libermann
Moins de six mois après son baptême, Libermann reçoit la tonsure à la Cathédrale de Paris comme clerc du diocèse de Strasbourg.

Les deux premiers étudiants de la Province d’Afrique de l’Est partent pour une année d’expérience pastorale spiritaine. Ceci va se répéter les trois années suivantes. De ces deux premiers, un est destiné à rejoindre le groupe d’Éthiopie après son ordination ; malheureusement, il meurt peu après.
Quer seja preciso ser afastado para longe da terra, ou ficar escondido no canto dum hospital, educar num colégio, ensinar num seminário ou dirigir uma comunidade pobre, ir para as extremidades do reino, ou manter-se numa austera residência, quer seja preciso mesmo atravessar os mares e ir até ao fim do mundo para ganhar uma alma para Jesus Cristo, a sua divisa (dos padres formados pelo Seminário do Espírito Santo) é: eis-nos prontos a cumprir a vossa vontade; ecce ego, mitte me (Is. VI, 8).
