Pope tells priests, show mercy; tells faithful, pester your priests

Always be merciful, just like Jesus, who came to forgive, not condemn, Pope Francis told new priests.
"Always have in front of your eyes the example of the Good Shepherd, who didn't come to be served, but to serve and to look for and save those who were lost," he said in his homily Sunday, the World Day of Prayer for Vocations.
The pope's remarks came during an ordination Mass in St. Peter's Basilica, where the pope ordained 13 new priests.
