But I think these things are essential: the Eucharist, the Office of Readings, prayer, and a conversation every day, even a brief one, with the Lord on his words that I must proclaim. And never lose either your friendship with priests, listening to the voice of the living Church, or naturally, availability to the people entrusted to me, because from these very people, with their suffering, their faith experiences, their doubts and difficulties, we too can learn, seek and find God, find our Lord Jesus Christ.
