Obey your leaders and do what they say. Recognize their authority over you. They are keeping watch over your souls and continually guarding your spiritual welfare as those who will give an account of their stewardship of you. They are watching over you, and they must answer to God. Let them do this with joy and not with grief and groans, for this would be of no benefit to you.
Be responsive to your pastoral leaders. Listen to their counsel. They are alert to the condition of your lives and work under the strict supervision of God. Contribute to the joy of their leadership, not its drudgery. So don’t make them sad as they do their work. Make them happy. Otherwise, they won’t be able to help you at all.
Amen
