If you know how to be patient now, you are sure of success, of a solid and stable success. Be rest assured that everything that is carried out by onslaught is neither solid nor durable.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Spiritual Letters, IV, 458, 1847.
Si vous savez maintenant patienter, vous êtes sûrs du succès, et d’un succès solide et stable. Soyez assurés que tout ce qui est emporté d’assaut n’est ni solide ni durable.
François Libermann
Cf. Lettres Spirituelles, IV, 458, 1847.
Se agora souberdes ter paciência, tereis a certeza do sucesso, e dum sucesso sólido e estável. Estai certos de que tudo o que se consegue pela força não é sólido nem duradoiro.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Cartas Espirituais, IV, 458, 1847.
Eighteen years ago I first came in contact with you. I had been in Africa for eighteen years before that, and now, at the close of my life I am returning. When I was working there as a young missionary, I thought Nigeria could not get on without me. God brought me home, and showed me that it could. I thought then that Killeshandra could not get on without me, but again, God showed me that it could.
Bishop Joseph Shanahan, 01.10.1938; his farewell message to the Holy Rosary Sisters. Letters I p.142

Il y a 18 ans que, pour la première fois, je suis entré en contact avec vous. J’étais en Afrique depuis 18 ans, et à présent, vers la fin de ma vie, j’y retourne. Quand je travaillais là-bas comme jeune missionnaire, je pensais que le Nigeria ne pourrait pas se passer de moi. Dieu m’a ramené dans mon pays et m’a montré qu’il le pouvait. Et puis je pensais que Killeshandra (noviciat MSHR) ne pourrait pas se passer de moi, mais à nouveau Dieu m’a montré qu’il le pouvait.
Mgr Joseph Shanahan, 01.10.1938, message d’adieu aux Sœurs du St Rosaire, Letters I, p.142
1908 C.S.Sp.

Création de la Province d’Angola.
Há dezoito anos que pela primeira vez o contactei. Eu estava em África há dezoito anos, e agora, no fim da minha vida regresso lá. Quando trabalhava lá como jovem missionário, pensava que a Nigéria não podia passar sem mim. Deus afastou-me, e mos-trou-me que isso era possível. Pensava depois que Killeshandra (noviciado das Irmãs do Santo Rosário) não podia passar sem mim, mas de novo, Deus me mostrou que isso era possível.
Shanahan, 01.10.1938, mensagem de adeus às Irmãs do Santo Rosário, Cartas I p. 142
1908 C.S.Sp.
