Be full of affection, gentleness and openness with the superiors in order to make their burden easier to carry.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Spiritual Letter les, IV, 458, 1847.
Soyez remplis d’affection, de douceur et d’ouverture avec les supérieurs pour leur rendre leur charge plus facile à porter.
François Libermann
Cf. Lettres Spirituelles, IV, 458, 1847.
Com os superiores seja aberto, encha-se de afeição, de mansidão, para lhes tornar o cargo mais fácil de levar.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Cartas Espirituais, IV, 458, 1847.
Jesus took steps to ensure that we could always be in perfect union with him by giving us the Holy Spirit who is the consummator of all sanctity. But in the Blessed Sacrament, he gives us such a fullness of the Holy Spirit, such a gift of love and union, that we would surely die if we could see clearly what was happening. This is why Our Lord hides himself in the Blessed Sacrament; if he showed himself as he really is, there would be no way in which we could go on living after receiving him.
Libermann to Leray, 24.07.1834. L.S.1, p.51-52
1848 Deux Guinées
Père Bessieux is appointed Vicar Apostolic of the Deux Guinées. Mgr. Kobès, aged 28, is named as his auxiliary on 22.09.1848 and is ordained at Strasbourg on 30.11.1848.

At the request of his family, the body of Padre José Maria Felgueiras is taken to Portugal for burial in the family grave at Taipas. A huge crowd of Spiritans, family and friends are there to pay honour to this "martyr of charity", killed by a train while trying to save a young boy in Spain.
1999 Province of Central Africa
First Chapter of the new Province at Libreville in Gabon. Père Ferdinand Azegue is elected Provincial.
Jésus (Il) a bien pris ses précautions pour que nous soyons en tout temps dans une parfaite union avec lui, en nous donnant son Esprit-Saint, qui est le consommateur de toute sainteté. Mais, dans le très saint Sacrement, il nous communique une si grande plénitude d’Esprit Saint et un si grand don d’amour et d’union, que nous mourrions infailliblement si nous le voyions clairement. Il me semble concevoir pourquoi N.S. a voulu se cacher dans ce sacrement. S’il s’y était montré sicuti est, tel qu’il est, il n’y aurait pas eu moyen de vivre après l’avoir reçu.
Libermann, à Leray, 24.07.1834, L.S.I, p. 51-52
1848 Deux Guinées
Le P. Bessieux est nommé Vicaire Apostolique des Deux-Guinées. Le 22 sept. 1848, Mgr Kobès est nommé son coadjuteur ; il est ordonné à Strasbourg le 30 11 1848, à 28 ans.

1999 Province d’Afrique Centrale
Premier Chapitre de la Province d'Afrique Centrale à Libreville, au Gabon. Le P. Ferdinand Azegue est élu Provincial.
Ele, Jesus, tomou bem as suas precauções para que nós estejamos sempre perfeitamente unidos a ele, dando-nos o seu Espírito Santo, que é o consumador de toda a santidade. Mas, no Santíssimo Sacramento, comunica-nos tanta plenitude do Espírito Santo e tanto amor e união, que morreríamos infalivelmente se o víssemos claramente. Parece-me perceber porque N.S. se quis esconder neste sacramento. Se aí se tivesse mostrado “sicuti est”, tal como é, não seria possível viver depois de o ter recebido.
Libermann, a Leray, 24.07.1834, LS I, p.51-52
1848 Duas Guinés
