A priest should have nothing of a human way of life about him; he ought to act and behave no more as a human being, but the spirit of Jesus Christ should be all his movement and life.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Spiritual Letters, I, 484, 1838.
Un prêtre ne doit pas avoir en soi de vie humaine, il ne doit plus agir et se mouvoir en homme mais l’esprit de Jésus-Christ doit être en lui tout mouvement et toute vie.
François Libermann
Cf. Lettres Spirituelles, I, 484, 1838.
Um padre não deve ter em si vida humana, já não deve mover-se e agir como homem, mas o espírito de Jesus Cristo deve ser nele todo o movimento e toda a vida.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Cartas Espirituais, I, 484, 1838.
For missionaries to succeed in such an admirable mission, they have to adopt a life-style that is poorer and more mortified than the local people to whom they are sent; as long as these poor people see a life that is easier than theirs, they will not be impressed; this is why Our Lord was born in a stable and died on a cross- so as to gave him the right to preach poverty and mortification to others.
Le Vavasseur to M. Galais, June 1939
1842 Reunion
Frédéric Le Vavasseur, co-founder of the Holy Heart of Mary, starts the second mission of the young congregation in the island of Bourbon and leads it for the next eight years.
1848 C.S.Sp.
On the eve of Pentecost, 1848, after a few days of discussion, the representatives of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit and the Society of the Holy Heart of Mary agree unanimously to a union of the two religious families.
1871 East Africa
Bishop Maupoint (of Saint-Denis, Reunion) gives up his jurisdiction over East Africa, thereby allowing the Apostolic Prefecture of Zanzibar to be confided to the Spiritans.
Pour que les missionnaires réussissent en une si admirable mission, il faut qu'ils adoptent un genre de vie plus pauvre et plus mortifiant que celui des Nègres ; tant que ces pauvres gens les verront menant une vie plus douce que la leur, ils ne les comprendront pas ; ainsi Notre-Seigneur, pour avoir le droit de prêcher la pauvreté et la mortification, a voulu naître dans une étable et mourir sur la croix.
Le Vavasseur, Mémoire à Mr Galais, juin 1939
1842 Réunion
Frédéric Le Vavasseur, missionnaire et co-fondateur du Saint-Coeur de Marie, ouvre à la Réunion (Bourbon) la 2° mission de la jeune Congrégation, il la conduira pendant 8 ans environ.
1848 C.S.Sp.
La veille de la Pentecôte 1848, après quelques jours de pourparlers, les représentants de la Congrégation du Saint-Esprit et ceux du Saint-Cœur de Marie décident à l’unanimité l'union des deux Congrégations.
1871 Afrique de l’Est
Mgr Maupoint renonce à sa juridiction sur l’Afrique de l’Est et permet ainsi que la Préfecture Apostolique de Zanzibar soit confiée aux Spiritains.
Para que o missionários sejam bem sucedidos numa missão tão admirável, é preciso que eles adoptem um género de vida mais pobre e mais mortificante que o dos Negros; enquanto esta pobre gente vir que eles levam uma vida melhor que a sua, não os compreenderão; também Nosso Senhor para ter o direito de pregar a pobreza e a mortificação, quis nascer num estábulo e morrer na cruz.
Le Vavasseur, Mémoire à Mr Galais, Junho 1939
