Letter 12047: Brother, I need you to act without delay on a matter of immediate pastoral necessity.
Brother, I need you to act without delay on a matter of immediate pastoral necessity. The bishop referred to — who is suffering from cold because his winter garments are not adequate — needs what you can provide, and he needs it now, not eventually. Send him suitable clothing immediately. The physical welfare of a bishop in his charge falls within your pastoral responsibility when he is in your area and in need. Do not let a fellow bishop suffer from something so easily remedied.
