Be quite sure that nothing is ever accomplished in this line by force, contradiction, resistance, but also, on the contrary, that everything is accomplished and obtained by support, tolerance, gentleness and calm.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, VIII, 113, 1844.
Soyez bien sûr que jamais rien dans la conduite des hommes ne se fait par force, par contradiction, par résistance, mais aussi, au contraire, tout se fait, tout s’obtient par le support, la tolérance, la douceur et le calme.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, VIII, 113, 1844.
Tenha a certeza que na direção das pessoas nunca nada se faz pela força, pela contradição, pela resistência, mas também, pelo contrário, tudo se faz, tudo se obtém pelo suporte, pela tolerância, mansidão e calma.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, VIII, 113, 1844.
I must not miss this opportunity to say a couple of words about the immense love that Jesus has for us. You can see it clearly in the Blessed Sacrament. His love is so great that he wants to transform and change us in his love; he wants to make us one with him in his Father. The Father is in him and he comes into us so that we will be consumed in him and in his Father who are one.
Libermann to Leray, 24.07.1834. L.S.1, p. 51-52

Je ne puis laisser partir cette occasion sans vous dire deux mots sur l’immense amour de N.S.J.C. pour nous. Voyez-le un peu dans le très saint Sacrement, et vous ne saurez que devenir. Dans l’extrémité de son amour, il désire nous transformer et nous changer en son amour même ; il veut nous rendre un avec lui en son Père. Le Père est en lui et lui vient en nous, afin que nous soyons consommés en lui et en son Père, qui sont un.
Libermann, à Leray, 24.07.1834, L.S.I, p. 51-52

Não posso deixar esta ocasião sem vos dizer duas palavras sobre o imenso amor de N.S.J.C. por nós. Vede-o um pouco no Santíssimo Sacramento, e não sabereis o que haveis de fazer. No seu amor infinito ele deseja transformar-nos e mudar-nos no seu próprio amor; ele quer tornar-nos um com ele em seu Pai. O Pai está nele e ele vem a nós, afim de que sejamos consumados nele e em seu Pai, que são um só.
