As "they are in the world" but are not "of the world", for Eusebius, the pastors "must urge the devotees not to consider the cities of the world their permanent dwelling but to look for the future city, the final Jerusalem of Heaven". This "eschatological reserve" is just what, according to the Pope, enables the pastors and devotees to "save the right scale of values, without ever bowing to the fashions of the time and to the unfair demands of political power". "The real scale of values Eusebius’ whole life seems to be saying does not come from the emperors of the past and present, but comes from Jesus Christ, the perfect Man, like the Father in His divine nature, yet a man like us". "The true scale of values added Benedict XVI, off the cuff does not come from the emperors of the past and present, but comes from Jesus Christ". With reference to this scale of values, Eusebius never gets tired of "firmly urging" his devotees to "carefully treasure their faith, to maintain harmony, to be assiduous in praying". "I too heartily recommend these perennial values to you", concluded the Pope as he blessed the about 30 thousand devotees who were attending today’s general audience with the words of the Bishop of Vercelli, who urged to "greet also those who are outside the Church and who are kind enough to feel love for us".
