Assuming the responsibility for walking before the flock
Being pastors means believing every day in the grace and strength that come to us from the Lord despite our weakness, and wholly assuming the responsibility for walking before the flock, relieved of the burdens that obstruct healthy apostolic promptness, so as to make our voice recognizable both to those who have embraced the faith and to those who “are not yet of this fold”. The dream of God, whose house knows no exclusion of people or peoples.
– Pope Francis
