3. Again the word of the LORD came to me,
saying, “Son of man, speak to the children of
your people, and say to them: ‘When I bring
the sword upon a land, and the people of the
land take a man from their territory and make
him their watchman, when he sees the sword
coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet
and warns the people,

4. ….. then whoever hears the sound of the
trumpet and does not take warning, if the
sword comes and takes him away, his blood
shall be on his own head. He heard the
sound of the trumpet, but did not take
warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But
he who takes warning will save his life.

5. But if the watchman sees the sword coming
and does not blow the trumpet, and the
people are not warned, and the sword comes
and takes any person from among them, he is
taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will
require at the watchman's hand.’ So you, son
of man: I have made you a watchman for the
house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a
word from My mouth and warn them for Me.”
Ezekiel 33:1-7

servants and workers… because it needed greater regulation to
lighten its burden and thus enable everyone to keep the Lord’s
Day holy. In this matter, my predecessor Pope Leo XIII in his

right which the State must guarantee. (#66)

pastoral initiatives need to clarify these situations, eliminating
all that is incompatible with the gospel of Christ.” (#80)
