In the vast expanse of human history, the role of the prophet has transcended epochs, woven into the very fabric of civilisations. Across ancient Jewish realms, those deemed worthy were entrusted with divine communication, bearing the sacred mantle to articulate God’s message and enact His will. Yet, to perceive a prophet merely as a harbinger of future events would be to overlook the profound essence encapsulated by the Greek term “proph?t?s” ? one who speaks on behalf of another.
The journey of prophecy demands not personal ambition, but a surrender to the divine Word, shaped by the sacred scriptures and the luminous examples of saints. Are we prepared to heed this call?1. Stand up ? Attentively listen to God. It’s not about YOU, it’s about GOD. The posture of standing up is an important element in being a prophet. He/she is constantly on the move.
3. Be ready. The mission is not easy. Just like St Paul’s thorn in the flesh. It’s a metaphor for Paul’s opponents; suffering he experienced from his opponents who questioned and criticised him. The pain is constant. St John Chrysostom – the thorn is the suffering from different opponents. 5. We are not called to be successful but to be faithful. As St Mother Teresa aptly reminds us, success is not our pursuit, but rather faithfulness to the divine call.
