A good teacher

Msgr. Pope describes a good teacher based on the example modeled by Christ.

It can be hard teaching young people, because they are used to constant self-esteem-boosting affirmations; and when a prophetic teacher comes along who both comforts and afflicts, they have no frame-of-reference for it, and they take offense. Finding that delicate balance between comfort and affliction will always appear to be imbalanced towards affliction by comparison to what they have experienced in their formation to that point. Yet, prophetic we must remain, according to the promise we made at our baptism.
