If a prophet is put on any kind of career track or staff org chart, his or her whole role and mission will be distorted or even destroyed.*
Richard Rohr
Abraham’s migration is not just a story of the past.
It is an invitation
To hear the whisper.
To trust a vision.
To become part of a journey that began with
stars and still burns in our bones.**
AleXander McManus
The prophet isn’t the person
who mouths off at every opportunity.
The prophet embarks
first of all on a personal journey.
Something is wrong and they are concerned—
Even angry about it.
Then they enter their sadness,
And their empathy and compassion grow.
Their words and actions, now heard and seen, are of
hope and love.
I have a sense that many more prophets will appear
in these crazy days.
This journey will be our measure,
And the measure of others.
May I invite you to ponder,
What are you a prophet for?
