Pope FrancisWe have so many priests who have gone half way โฆ itโs 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.

Your aim is to resemble him and act on behalf of him amidst his flock, letting his sheep graze.
Pope Francis
