The Marks of Good Superiors
ood superiors
rebuke those who stir up strife, comfort those of little courage, take
the part of the weak, refute opponents, and guard against traps.
They teach the ignorant, awake the indolent, put the presumptuous in their place, mollify the quarrelsome, help the poor, liberate the oppressed, encourage the good, suffer the wicked, and love everyone.
-- Sermon 140, 1
Prayer. Lord, you love us with a love that is true.
-- Confessions 1, 4
