Death
Do not be surprised if people judge you, condemn you and annoy you unceasingly. By venting their bad temper on you they will be more peaceful with others. Look at yourself as a rag in the house, a rag on which everyone wipes his hands. When you have had your fill of gall and resentment, go and present yourself before Jesus, let yourself to fall on his Heart and pour out your soul into this Heart. Do not be afraid.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, IV, 269, 1843.
Ne vous étonnez pas si les hommes vous jugent, vous condamnent et vous contrarient sans cesse. Déchargeant sur vous cette mauvaise humeur, ils seront plus paisibles avec d’autres. Regardez-vous comme un chiffon dans la maison, chiffon auquel tout le monde s’essuie les mains. Lorsqu’on vous a bien abreuvé de fiel et d’amertume, allez vous présenter devant Jésus, laissez-vous tomber sur son Coeur et versez votre âme dans ce Coeur. Ne craignez pas.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, IV, 269, 1843.
Não se admire se os homens o julgam, o condenam e o contrariam sem cessar. Descarregando sobre si este mau humor, serão mais pacíficos com outros. Considere-se como um trapo em casa, trapo a que todos limpam as mãos. Quando o tiverem saciado bem de fel e amargor, vá apresentar-se diante de Jesus, encoste-se ao seu Coração e derrame a sua alma neste Coração. Não tema.
Francisco Libermann

Together with the Synod Fathers, I urge a serious commitment to foster conditions of greater social justice and good government on the African continent, in order to prepare the ground for peace. 'If you want peace, work for justice'. It is much better, and also much easier, to present wars than to try to stop them after they have broken out. The Church in Africa, especially through some of its leaders, has been in the front line of the search for negotiated solutions to armed conflicts in many parts of the continent. This mission of pacification must continue, encouraged by the Lord's promise in the beatitudes: 'Blessed are the peacemakers; they shall be called sons of God'

1994 Kogi
Ordinations of first Spiritans from Kogi State in Nigeria: Emmanuel Ikubolaje from Kabba in the diocese of Lokoja and Daniel Abah from Imane in the diocese of Idah.
J’invite (aussi)...à prendre des engagements concrets pour promouvoir dans le continent des conditions de plus grandes justice sociale et d’exercice plus équitable du pouvoir, pour préparer ainsi les conditions de la paix. “Si vous voulez la paix, œuvrez pour la justice.” Il est préférable - et aussi plus facile - de prévenir les guerres que d’essayer de les arrêter après qu’elles ont éclaté... L’Eglise en Afrique - en particulier grâce à certains responsables- a été en première ligne pour la recherche de solutions négociées aux conflits armés dans de nombreuses parties du continent. Cette mission de pacification devrait continuer, encouragée par les promesses du Seigneur dans les Béatitudes.

1994 Kogi
Ordinations des premiers Spiritains de l’État de Kogi du Nigeria : ce sont Emmanuel Ikubolaje de Kabba (diocèse de Lokoja) et Daniel Imane (diocèse de Idah).
Além disso, exorto, a um efectivo empenho por promover condições de maior justiça social e de exercício mais equitativo do poder, no Continente, para preparar assim o terreno para a paz. “Se queres a paz, trabalha pela justiça”. É preferível ─ e inclusive mais fácil ─ prevenir as guerras que tentar pará-las depois de terem sido desencadeadas... A Igreja em África ─ particularmente através de alguns dos seus responsáveis ─ esteve na primeira linha da busca de soluções negociadas para conflitos armados, surgidos em numerosas zonas do Continente. Esta missão de pacificação deverá continuar, estimulada por aquilo que o Senhor promete nas Bem-aventuranças.
