“Those who do not go out of themselves, instead of being mediators, gradually become intermediaries, managers. We know the difference: the intermediary, the manager, has already received his reward, and since he does not put his own skin and his own heart on the line, he never hears a warm, heartfelt word of thanks. …This I ask you: be shepherds, with the odour of the sheep, make it real, as shepherds among your flock, fishers of men.”

+Pope Francis, Chrism Mass, 28 March 2013
