My dear brother Priests, be united like the ropes of the bark of Peter, the ropes to which the anchor is hooked, protecting the bark from the winds and the storms. Be united like the rope that lifts up the sails to catch the wind, making it sail and bringing the bark to port. Be like the ropes of strong, expansive nets that bring in the abundant catch of fish.

— José Avelino Bettencourt
