6 Forsake childishness, and live, and walk by the ways of prudence. 7 He that teacheth a scorner, doth an injury to himself: and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himself a blot. 8 Rebuke not a scorner lest he hate thee. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. 9 Give an occasion to a wise man, and wisdom shall be added to him. Teach a just man, and he shall make haste to receive it. 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is prudence. All right, I get the message. I hope anyone I've written about does not hate me. Maybe, I will rebuke the good for good.

Before Augustin's conversion, while he had a son with an unmarried mother, he was, in effect, a civil trial lawyer. (Think, Charles Laughton with Marlene Dietrich and Tyrone Power in "Witness for the Prosecution", 1957.) And Augustine was a professor of the art of persuasion, Rhetoric, (Mark Anthony carefully fence sitting, neither against nor for Ceasar's assassins, "Friends, Romans, Countrymen..."), a profession in which TRUTH is a commodity up for sale to the highest bidder. St. Monica to St. Ambrose: “His voice, O Father, still upholds, each impious sect in turn, and men from his impassion’d words, pernicious errors learn.” https://www.sing-prayer.org/novena-to-saint-monica#Ambrose Leave a Reply. |
