The Good Shepherd looks after every single sheep

"'The good shepherd knows his sheep and they know him'(John 10:14). A bishop should try to ensure that as many as possible of those who, together with him, make up the local Church can come to know him personally. He for his part will seek to be close to them, to know about their lives--what gives joy to their hearts and what saddens them. Such mutual acquaintaince cannot be built through occasional meetings. It comes from a genuine interest in what is happening in their lives regardless of age, social status, or nationality, whether they are close at hand or far away. ...

"Every human being is an individual person and therefore I cannot program a priori a certain type of relationship that could be applied to everyone, but I must, so to speak, learn it anew in every case. ...

"Every person is a chapter to himself. I always acted with this conviction ...

"Interest in others begins with the bishop's prayer life: his conversations with Christ, who entrusts 'His own' to him. Prayer prepares him for encounter with others. ... I simply pray for everyone every day. As soon as I meet people, I pray for them, and this helps me in all my relationships. ... I welcome everyone as a person sent to me and entrusted to me by Christ.

"I don't like the word 'crowd', which seems to anonymous; I prefer the word 'multitude', in Greek 'plethos' (cf Mark 3:7, Lk 6:17, Acts 2:6, Acts 14:1 and elsewhere). ... That's how it was in Manila, where there were millions of young people. Yet in a case like that it would have been wrong to speak of an anonymous crowd."
