How important is it not, in these miserable times, that the Pastors of the flock of Christ be equal to their perilous and sublime vocation; let us then fast and pray; and how numerous soever may be the losses sustained in the Christian ranks of those who once were faithful in the practices of penance, let us not lose courage.
Kuna umuhimu gani si, katika nyakati hizi duni, kwamba wachungaji wa kundi la Kristo kuwa sawa na wito wao hatari na tukufu; hebu basi kufunga na kuomba; na jinsi po pote mbalimbali inaweza kuwa na hasara endelevu katika safu ya Kikristo ya wale ambao mara moja walikuwa waaminifu katika mazoea ya toba, acheni tusivunjike moyo.
