We are called to be 'ambassadors for Christ' (2 Cor 5:20). Ours is a ministry of reconciliation ... To be an ambassador for Christ means above all to invite everyone to a renewed personal encounter with the Lord Jesus.
Francis, Pope (2017). “With the Smell of the Sheep: Pope Francis Speaks to Priests, Bishops, and Other Shephards”, p.70, Orbis Books
