Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pastors, Their Rights and Duties: According to the New Code of Canon Law The pastoral office has ever been one of the greatest importance and dignity. When we consider its origin in the New Testament, we see the outstanding figure of Jesus Christ arising upon the horizon as the ´Pastor Bonus.´ "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep." John, X. II. When we consider its end, we hear the cry of millions of souls thirsting for salvation. And if we consider its reward, the words of the Holy Ghost through Daniel give us an answer: -- "They that instruct many to justice (shall shine) as stars for all eternity." Daniel, XII, 3. The parish priest takes a great part in this sublime office and, consequently, shares also in the blessings which it brings. He is to be the follower of Jesus Christ as the good Shepherd, he is to heed the cry of these thirsting souls and then he may also securely hope to realize the words of Daniel and enjoy the happiness of heaven. His duties, indeed, are many and his responsibilities great. The Bishop gives him a number of souls, entrusts them to his care. These, then, are the field of his pastoral labor, these he must bring Home. Like the general of old, who used to lead the warriors into battle, the pastor must lead his people into the spiritual fray. He should not demand of them anything which he himself is not willing to undergo. Like the pilot, who guides the ship through calm and storm, the parish priest must direct his flock safely into the Heavenly Port. He must watch the route and see that all is clear and safe ahead. But the pastors duties do not end here. There are also other sheep that are not of his flock - these he must seek out and bring into the one true fold. In order that every pastor might know what his rights and duties are, the Church has taken great pains to determine and define them for him even to the smallest detail.
