What is a bishop?
"The flock needs to find a place in the heart of its Pastor. If this is
not solidly anchored in itself, in Christ and His Church, the bishop
will continually be at the mercy of the waves, in search of ephemeral
compensations, and will offer no shelter to his flock”.

Be coherent
"An incoherent Christian, he said, “does so much harm. Scandal kills.” He continued, “So many times we’ve heard ‘But Father, I believe in God, but not in the Church, because you Christians say one thing and do another.’ And also, ‘I believe in God, but not in you.’” This, he said, “Is because of inconsistency"
— Pope Francis, homily on February 27,
2014.

The power of one...

What we need
This
planet doesn’t need more ‘successful’ people but is in desperate need
of more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of every
shape and form. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs
people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable
and humane. And these needs have very little to do with success - the way
our culture has defined it. — David Orr

Grace
Grace seldom appears as grace. So seldom, in fact, that one should be suspicious when it does.
