Day 14 Bepreach

Child with a Dove, Picasso 1901

                              (see also Being Good, Art of Standing Aside)
 
 “Do not bepreach the child to weariness about ‘being good’ as what he owes to God, without letting in upon him first a little of that knowledge that shall make him good. We are no longer suffering from an embarrassment of riches; these limitations shut out so much of the ordinary teaching about divine things that the question becomes rather, What shall we teach? than, How shall we choose?”
 
                                                    *
 
                        “Never miss a good chance to shut up.”
 
                                                    ~  Will Rogers


Examen: Bepreach is not a word we hear often, but we all know what being on the receiving end of it feels like. What have I read lately that shows, rather than tells, “the loveliness and hatefulness of man?”
