We have so many priests who have gone half way … it’s sad that they did not manage to go the whole way; they have something of the employee in them, something of the bureaucrat in them and this is not good for the Church. Please be careful you don’t fall into this! You are becoming pastors in the image of Jesus, the good pastor. Your aim is to resemble him and act on behalf of him amidst his flock, letting his sheep graze.

May we always say thank you to God, especially for his patience and mercy.

The most important thing is the first proclamation: Jesus Christ has saved you.

Let us not close our hearts, let us not lose confidence, let us never give up.
