What do I ask of you? Liberos! Priests who are free with your freedom, bound to nothing, detached from fathers, mothers, brothers sisters and relatives in the flesh, worldly friends; with no goods, impediments or worries, detached even from their own wills.
Liberos! Men completely dedicated to you out of love and ready to do your will, men of your own heart. Not distracted or detained by their own projects... like new Davids, with the Cross like a staff and the rosary like a sling in their hands.
Liberos! Men like clouds lifted up from the earth and saturated with heavenly dew, ready to fly wherever the breath of the Holy Spirit takes them...
Liberos! People always at your disposal, always ready to obey the call of their superiors, like Samuel..., always ready to run and endure everything with you and for you, like the Apostles...
Liberos! True sons of Mary, your holy Mother, conceived and generated by her love, carried in her womb, nourished and educated with care, sustained and enriched by graces...
When will this deluge of fire of pure love come, which you must set alight over the whole world?
