Bishop's Office
The first responsibility of the Bishop is to carry out the mission of Christ as an apostle, exercising the three-fold office of Christ of sanctifying, Teaching, and Governing. (Canon 375)
The Bishop is the successor of the apostles and is responsible as the head of the particular church of shepherding the people of God towards the Kingdom of God. This takes most of His daily Ministry. Exercising his governing office, he counts on several organs, which collaborate with Him, in what refers to the general administration of the Diocese.
