What is a Prophet?

A Prophet is someone who brings the message of God to people. They challenge the status quo of the community when that status quo is not authentic and life giving. They reveal the truth when the truth is hidden.

We need Prophets today. God sends us Prophets to remind us of the truth. They remind us to act justly and to love our neighbour

They remind us that there is something more than materialism and individualism. Prophets reveal God in our midst. They touch our hearts and our imaginations. Prophets have a deep relationship with God. Their work is a response to this relationship.

Prophets are individuals who reach out in justice. Inspired by God they face injustice and take up their call to respond to the Spirit, as Jesus did. Can you think of anyone, now or in the past that may have been recognised as a prophet?

Here are a few people that are recognised as prophets

Mother Teresa She helped the poor, homeless, diseased and dying people

Fred Hollows He helped to restore the eyesight of countless thousands of people in developing countries and to improve indigenous health here in Australia.

Martin Luther King Jr He worked for racial equality and civil rights in the United States of America

He spoke passionately and publicly of the need for Christians to work for justice. Many opposed his ideas, so he was always in danger. One day, during mass, he was shot and killed because of his courageous stand for justice. Oscar Romero

We too are called to be prophets of out times by living the teachings and values of our faith in our everyday life.
