Apostolic life is nothing other than the life of holiness which the Son of God led on earth to save and sanctify souls, and by which he sanctify himself to the glory of his Father. This heavenly life is founded on the death of the natural man in his concupiscence and affections. It is the foundation which they will try to lay in their souls so as to build true apostolic zeal solidly thereon.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, II, 290, 1840.
La vie apostolique n’est rien autre chose que la vie toute d’amour et de sainteté que le Fils de Dieu a menée sur la terre pour sauver et sanctifier les âmes. Cette vie céleste est fondée sur la mort de l’homme naturel, de ses concupiscences et de ses affections. C’est le fondement qu’ils tâcheront de jeter dans leurs âmes afin de bâtir solidement là-dessus le vrai zèle apostolique.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, II, 290, 1840.
A vida apostólica não é outra coisa senão a vida toda de amor e de santidade que o Filho de Deus levou sobre a terra para salvar e santificar as almas. Esta vida celeste é fundada na morte do homem natural, das suas concupiscências e das suas afeições. É o fundamento que eles tratarão de lançar nas suas almas a fim de construir solidamente sobre ele o verdadeiro zelo apostólico.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, II, 290, 1840.
The supreme test is the giving of one's life, to the point of accepting death in order to bear witness to one's faith in Jesus Christ. Throughout Christian history, martyrs, that is, "witnesses", have always been numerous and indispensable to the spread of the Gos-pel. In our own age, there are many: bishops, priests, men and women religious, lay people - often unknown heroes who give their lives to bear witness to the faith. They are par excellence the heralds and witnesses of the faith.

La preuve suprême (de la parole des missionnaires) est le don de la vie jusqu’à l’acceptation de la mort pour témoigner de la foi au Christ. Comme toujours dans l’histoire chrétienne, les « martyrs », c’est-à-dire les témoins, sont nombreux et ils sont indispensables à la marche de l’Evangile. A notre époque aussi, il en est beaucoup : évêques, prêtres , religieux et religieuses, laïcs, parfois héros inconnus, qui donnent leur vie en témoignant de leur foi. Ce sont les messagers et les témoins par excellence.
Redemptoris Missio, n° 45

A prova suprema é o dom da vida, até ao ponto de aceitar a morte para testemunhar a fé em Jesus Cristo. Como sempre, na história cristã, os “mártires” isto é, as testemunhas, são numerosas e indispensáveis no caminho do Evangelho. Também há tantos na nossa época: bispos, sacerdotes, religiosos, religiosas, leigos, tantas vezes heróis desconhecidos que deram a vida para testemunhar a fé. São esses os anunciadores e as testemunhas por excelência.
