Here is the rephrased text:
St. Bartholomew of Braga, O.P. (1514-1590), a renowned figure in ecclesiastical circles, has seen his work published in English for the first time, despite its profound and lasting impact. His meditations on the pastoral office have been invaluable to bishops since their initial circulation, shaping their understanding and influencing some of the most influential among them, including Charles Borromeo, who was one of his proteges. Pope Paul VI, recognizing the significance of Bartholomew's work, ordered a copy of his writings to be distributed among Catholic bishops during the Second Vatican Council. Donald Prudlo's translation not only contextualizes St. Bartholomew within his historical setting as a key player in Catholic Reform but also elevates him to the status of a prominent figure in pastoral administration, even in our contemporary times.
