Pastoral Care

Quote from Letter 9.60 to Constantius, bishop of Narni. November 598

You must take great care over the acts and discipline of the clergy and sons  [of the church of Terni], and watch over them with such pastoral zeal that you are not culpable over their souls, but rather might obtain a reward before almighty God.
