|  | God has made his entire holy people a royal priesthood in Christ. |
| |
|
| | For Christ was sent by the Father and he in turn sent the Apostles into the world, so that through them and their successors, the Bishops, he might continue to exercise his office of Teacher, Priest, and Shepherd. |
| |
|
| | priests are established co-workers of the Order of Bishops |
| |
|
| | Meditating on the law of the Lord, see that you believe what you read, that you teach what you believe, and that you practise what you teach. |
| |
|
| | let what you teach be nourishment for the people of God. Let the holiness of your lives be a delightful fragrance to Christ’s faithful, so that by word and example you may build up the house which is God’s Church. |
| |
|
| | Keep always before your eyes the example of the Good Shepherd who came not to be served but to serve, and who came to seek out and save what was lost. |
