Bishops must be tender shepherds, loving their flocks “from God’s perspective,” Pope Benedict XVI told archbishops receiving their pallia June 29 during a Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican.
“Seeing from God’s perspective is seeing with love that wants to serve the other, wants to help him to become truly himself,” the pope said in his homily, which was delivered on the 58th anniversary of his ordination.
Archbishop Robert J. Carlson was among 34 archbishops from 20 countries who received the pallium — a woolen stole worn by the pope and archbishops — on the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul.
“The pallium recalls the flock of Jesus Christ which you, dear Brothers, must tend in communion with Peter,” the pope said during his homily. “It reminds us of Christ Himself, who, as the Good Shepherd, took the lost sheep, humanity, on his shoulders to bring it home.”
