Yet always be readier to persuade than to accuse, because the cloistered mind is often led back to the path of rectitude by holy exhortations, whereas it is very often hardened by severe rebuke. Consider the character of your name; consider the condition of the rule you have undertaken; often reflect on what especially befits you. You are called abbot, the father of monks, you who are approved to act in Christ’s place in the monastery. Therefore recognize yourself as the father of your subjects, not their lord; the shepherd of Christ’s sheep, not their patron. And therefore, having been appointed ruler of monks, recognize yourself as a monk, and as bound by a double profession to regular observance. Take care to fulfill the name of superior by your deeds, so that your monks, who call you abbot, may be taught by your works and truly recognize you as father. Be gentle when asked; indeed, if offended, ask first. Consider that you are the shepherd of Christ’s infirm sheep; whatever can contribute to their care, do not fear to undertake for the love of God. Let the health of the souls committed to you occupy your whole self; if you despise working for it, you will be subject to the gravest damnation. Remember what happened to Eli the priest, who did not correct his delinquent sons. He was condemned for their sin, because those whom he ought to have corrected by priestly authority, he left uncorrected through ruinous compassion. So too you, abbot, even if you have committed no sins in yourself, will be subject to damnation for the neglected faults of your subjects, because, being appointed guardian of souls, you do not prevent those very souls from going to perdition; you are justly to be condemned by him whom you mock. How great the learning and knowledge of the Scriptures ought to shine forth in you, the holy father Benedict proclaims in the Rule. “It is necessary,” he says, “for the abbot to be learned in the divine law, so that he may know how to bring forth new things and old in due season.” He must imitate a physician most learned in his art, one who knows not only how to apply the suitable remedy to diseases, but also how sagaciously to investigate the causes, dangers, and outcomes of every illness. Many diseases indeed come upon human bodies daily, which a learned and experienced physician can easily drive away; an unlearned and inexperienced one rather increases them. But the infirmities of souls are both more numerous in number and of greater consequence in art; for by as many evil thoughts as the mind is inwardly and pleasurably touched, by so many hidden diseases, as it were, the soul is wounded. But if a perverse thought has gone outward into word or deed, then the hidden disease rises up into a swelling; unless it is treated prudently and without delay, little by little it grows and gathers strength to the destruction of the whole body. For these diseases of the mind a remedy composed according to art is required in various ways; long experience is judged necessary, since whoever approaches an invalid to cure him while unskilled, so far as lies in him, does not heal but kills. And who is so fit that he can discern the hidden diseases of the minds of cloistered persons? Many, through lack of discrimination among diseases, have killed many sick people. Therefore the greatest learning, doctrine, discretion, and experience are required in a shepherd of souls, so that he may know how to apply remedies suited to individual diseases, lest inexperience destroy knowledge, lest ignorance confuse the remedies. Meanwhile let discretion in the art be present, until experience is learned without danger. In the art of medicine, indeed, many are learned, but few are experienced. And among shepherds of souls we can find very many who are learned and in many things instructed; but we find few who are skilled and experienced in this art. And nothing harms infirm souls so much as the shepherd’s inexperienced knowledge. For one who does not know how to distinguish between one disease and another is often accustomed to drive the sick person into graver dangers. For the diseases of cloistered persons are cured in various ways. At one time the prudent physician of souls uses the authority of the Scriptures; now he strives by reasons to persuade the sick person of the things that pertain to health; at another time he brings forward the examples and paradigms of the ancients; now he subtly lays bare the causes of the disease and the roots fixed in the heart. Indeed, as many kinds of illness as he finds, so many kinds of remedies he sets against them. At one time he teaches the sick person how he ought to be freed from the disease; now, lest a putrid member infect the whole body, he cuts it with the iron of harsh rebuke; at another time, with the wine of sharp correction, he drives out the pus formed in the wound; now with honey-flowing exhortation"},{"alignment_precision":"segment","annotations":[],"chapter_id":"ch-1","html_id":"p-en-0005-0001","id":"trc:prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali:seg-0005:p-0001","kind":"paragraph","language":"en","segment":5,"segment_id":"trc:prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali:seg-0005","sequence":1,"targets":{"parallel":"works/prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali_parallel.html#seg-5","reading":"works/prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali.html#p-en-0005-0001"},"text":"with oil, and restores the tender, weak one to health.

Now you pretend to be sick; now you cry that you cannot eat, though nevertheless in secret you eat forbidden food. You hurry at great expense to the baths; you call male and female companions; and you who importunately deny the least things to your brothers do not fear to spend much on profane uses. You are good and affable to all; only to your brothers do you show yourself hard and inexorable. You love strangers; you despise your own. You who give many orders to make monks poor do either nothing or little according to the Rule. You withhold necessary food from your brothers; you bestow cheap and tasteless things. You satisfy your stomach with the best wine; to the brothers you serve what is worse. You try to shut others in a cell at all times; you order all to devote themselves to readings and prayers; and you can never remain in secret, but, wandering and always running about, you desire to have the consolations of the flesh. And why say much? Set as ruler of cloistered men, you live in a secular fashion; placed over regulars, you conduct yourself irreligiously; appointed abbot of monks, you show either nothing or little worthy of the shepherd’s office. You desire to raise others to heaven, and you do not fear to consign yourself to hell. You desire to be called religious, not to be so; you love the honor and praises of men; you think not at all of future dangers. You rejoice that you are abbot; you do not acknowledge yourself as father. You are glad to be a prelate; you do not show yourself a shepherd. But, in the end, what do you think you will obtain, you who, while desiring to save others, condemn yourself? It remains that you be allotted a place with the impious in hell, you who commit the works of the impious in the cloister. Woe to you, shepherd, who do not correct the faults of those who sin, who souls"},{"alignment_precision":"segment","annotations":[],"chapter_id":"ch-6","html_id":"p-en-0009-0001","id":"trc:prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali:seg-0009:p-0001","kind":"paragraph","language":"en","segment":9,"segment_id":"trc:prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali:seg-0009","sequence":1,"targets":{"parallel":"works/prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali_parallel.html#seg-9","reading":"works/prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali.html#p-en-0009-0001"},"text":"by wrongly concealing them you destroy: you entangle yourself in others’ crimes. Indeed, you who see your monks behaving badly and are silent condemn yourself by a sure sentence. Do not plead to me weakness of spirit; although it may sometimes be tolerable in a monk, nevertheless in an abbot it is judged utterly useless. Therefore either overcome weakness of spirit, or, lest you perish for the faults of others, humbly lay down the burden that you are not able to bear. Do you not know that the kingdom of God suffers violence? If you neglect to do violence to yourself against the vicious motions of nature, how will you obtain the kingdom of God? Weak is the zeal that you have for the salvation of souls, and therefore your care is weaker. Yet I will say what I think must rightly be said. Why do you conceal the faults of your subjects? Certainly you fear being disturbed; you desire to live in a tranquillity that is not good, and for that reason you are afraid to correct offenders. But this is not the rule of holy governance; this is not the fitting duty of a shepherd. For it is fitting that the ruler of weak cloistered men should often be disturbed, not unprofitably, if he wishes to bring back the habits of the wicked to the path of rectitude. Why do you seek peace among vices? “There is no peace for the wicked,” says the Lord. It is better for sinners to be disturbed to repentance than, agreeing with vices, to be sent to Gehenna. But you fear that, provoked by harsh rebuke, they may flee secretly and depart from the monastery with scandal. I do not disapprove discretion, but I accuse negligence. For you do not discreetly conceal sins, but timidly. Indeed, if a monk is wholly rebellious and incorrigible, if he has tried to corrupt others by bad example, he deserves not compassion but prison, not indulgence but punishment. But if he flees, what is that to you? You have the holy apostle on your side: “If the wicked man departs, let him depart.” For it is more tolerable if one perishes than unity. For since Saint Benedict ordered even an incorrigible man to be expelled from the monastery against his will, you have nothing to fear if he departs of his own accord without fault on your part. Yet one must beware lest you have given a just occasion for fleeing; otherwise you are bound to restore the lost man. Observe the manner of correction handed down in the Rule, and you will contract no sin from those who flee."},{"alignment_precision":"segment","annotations":[],"chapter_id":"ch-6","html_id":"p-en-0009-0002","id":"trc:prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali:seg-0009:p-0002","kind":"paragraph","language":"en","segment":9,"segment_id":"trc:prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali:seg-0009","sequence":2,"targets":{"parallel":"works/prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali_parallel.html#seg-9","reading":"works/prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali.html#p-en-0009-0002"},"text":"For even the most holy fathers, rulers of cloistered men, once had very many fugitives and apostates, whose malice neither harmed the good nor was their scandalous flight harmful to the innocent. Hence Saint John the Apostle says of certain such men: “They went out from us, but they were not of us.” There must be fugitives and apostates in religious communities, so that the perseverance of the good may be proved. But you, O shepherd, consider your duty diligently; in all things observe the tradition of the Rule, and if any of your men departs from you without fault on your part, the highest judge will impute it to him, not to you. For what if a bad and wicked man departs? For if a monk is good, he will not flee from the monastery contrary to his vow; but if he has departed, he was not truly good. It is better for one perverse and incorrigible man to flee of his own accord than for a multitude to perish by his wicked example. But you, who ruinously conceal the faults of your subjects, who are afraid to disturb the assembly of evildoers, even if you have lived innocently according to the Rule, will without doubt perish for the sins of those entrusted to you who are perishing. And what does it matter whether you perish by your own desert or by another’s? Therefore either direct the care of souls according to the norm prescribed to you by the holy fathers, or, if you cannot preside usefully, give up the governance. For he requires of you not only that you yourself live well, but also that by word and example you instruct those entrusted to you to live well. Now therefore, shepherds, fear your danger; govern the sheep entrusted to you according to the Rule. Feed them with the word; feed them with example; feed them with nourishment, so that, when you have ministered well, you may come, to be rewarded, to the joys of heaven."},{"alignment_precision":"segment","annotations":[],"chapter_id":"ch-6","html_id":"p-en-0009-0003","id":"trc:prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali:seg-0009:p-0003","kind":"paragraph","language":"en","segment":9,"segment_id":"trc:prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali:seg-0009","sequence":3,"targets":{"parallel":"works/prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali_parallel.html#seg-9","reading":"works/prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali.html#p-en-0009-0003"},"text":"I have spoken."},{"alignment_precision":"segment","annotations":[],"chapter_id":"ch-6","html_id":"p-en-0009-0004","id":"trc:prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali:seg-0009:p-0004","kind":"paragraph","language":"en","segment":9,"segment_id":"trc:prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali:seg-0009","sequence":4,"targets":{"parallel":"works/prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali_parallel.html#seg-9","reading":"works/prdl-24361_de-cura-pastorali.html#p-en-0009-0004"},"text":"End of the oration on pastoral care by Johannes Trithemius, abbot of Sponheim, of the order of the divine father Benedict, delivered by him in the general chapter of the abbots of the province of Mainz and the diocese of Bamberg, in the monastery of Seligenstadt, in the year of the Lord 1496, on the first day of the month of May.
