Fr. Albert Raskin, CICM archivist of the
Congregation in 1982, described Fr. Theophile
Verbist as a wise superior:

“He went about his work with a level head,”

Fr. Raskin wrote:

“He could take advice and follow it as well”

In a letter of April 1866, Verbist writes:

“ Every day I thank the Lord that He

allowed me to go personally to the
mission of the congregation so that I
would learn and experience what the
demands of the missionary life are in
reality.”

10
To his sister Elisa he wrote:

“ The missionary would jeopardize the

success of his efforts if, before
attempting to reform the world around
him, he would not first study matters in
silence, observe with care, and, above
all, exercise an enduring patience.”

11
“I am extremely happy and contented.
I would love to leave my bones in
China, though I have known many
hardships and oppositions… All this
makes a missionary feel alive. When I
see all the young confreres who are
fully engaged in the apostolate and
when I think of all the good they are
doing and will be doing, I believe that
the good Lord is pleased with us and
that He will expand our wok.”
An excerpt from Verbist’s
