Henry Koren: "Essay in the Spiritan Charism and on Spiritan History", p. 21
One can see with the examples of Fr. Caris, Allenou, Le Loutre, Bishop Kerhervé, Fr Maillard, Bishop Pottier, Frs Lano‘, John Mo-ranvillé and Matthew Hérard, how the Spiritans or yesteryear lived their apostolic life on the basis of a mystique of evangelical poverty and with evangelical availability before God and man. In the con-crete situation of their lives, they listened to the Holy Spirit, first, by listening to the voice of their superiors and then, when they were dispersed by persecution, by seeking in their various situations the evangelical appeal addressed to them by concrete history.

On peut voir par les exemples des pères Caris, Allenou, Le Loutre, Mgr Kerhervé, le P. Maillard, Mgr Pottier, les pères Lanoë, Jean Moranvillé et Matthieu Hérard comment les Spiritains d’hier ont vécu leur vie apostolique sur la base d’une mystique de pauvreté évangélique et dans la disponibilité évangélique face à Dieu et aux hommes. Dans les situations concrètes de leur vie, ils ont écouté l’Esprit Saint, d’abord en écoutant la voix de leurs supérieurs, puis, lorsqu’ils étaient dispersés par la persécution, en cherchant dans les situations diverses l’appel évangélique que leur adressait l’histoire concrète.

Olhando os exemplos dos PP. Caris, Allenou, Le Loutre, Bispo Kerhervé, P. Maillard, Bispo Pottier, PP. Lanoë, John Moranvillé e Matthew Hérard, exemplos que poderiam ser multiplicados por muitos outros, vemos como os espiritamos viveram a sua vida apostólica na base de uma mística de pobreza evangélica e com evangélica disponibilidade diante de Deus e dos homens. Na situação concreta das suas vidas, eles aprenderam do Espírito Santo, primeiramente, ao ouvir a voz dos seus superiores, e, quando estavam dispersos pela perseguição, a descobrir nas suas variadas situações o apelo evangélico a eles dirigido pela história concreta.
