Quote from Letter 6,9 to Boniface, bishop of Reggio, where he joins the church of Carinae to it. September 595
And so, dearest brother, remember your Lord's commandments with profit, and take such care in governing the people entrusted to you and in enriching their souls, that, when standing before the tribunal of the eternal Judge, you may exhibit to our Redeemer, in whom you can rejoice, the fruit of good works which affects your reward.
