Today's bishops need to be good Samaritans who let their hearts be moved and compelled to help every individual God "accidentally" puts along their path, Pope Francis has said.
"Remember, the road to Jericho is not far" from every church in the world, and "it won't be hard to encounter someone who waits not for a Levite who looks the other way, but for a brother who draws near," he told new bishops.
He also said bishops must not get caught up in a game of numbers with vocations, but focus more on quality and forming mature priests, who are not slaves to their personal vices and weaknesses.
