• Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children's best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child's interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and teacher.

They are presenting to Christ all those who do not know him or are far from him: they keep watch in his presence on their behalf.

• We have so many priests who have gone half way … it’s sad that they did not manage to go the whole way; they have something of the employee in them, something of the bureaucrat in them and this is not good for the Church.

Your aim is to resemble him and act on behalf of him amidst his flock, letting his sheep graze.
