During an audience with 147 new bishops from five continents, Pope Francis underscored the critical mission of bishops to remain with Jesus, stating, 'To speak about him, we need to be with him; to lead his people, we must allow ourselves, every day, to be led by him.
The Pope highlighted the collective experience of listening, praying, and celebrating the Eucharist, emphasizing, 'No bishop walks alone.
