Sunday
Jesus’ aim was to open up the spirit of prophecy to everyone.… Then too we
can all become courageous enough to speak out like prophets. —Albert Nolan
Monday
Prophecy comes to life as love. Jesus the prophet is love manifested. We also
can be love manifested in the world. —Barbara A. Holmes
Tuesday
The genius of Jesus is that he wastes no time on repressing or denying the
shadow. In that, he is a classic prophet, one of those who does not merely
expose the denied shadow of Israel, but instead attacks the real problem,
which is the ego. —Richard Rohr
Wednesday
Jesus knew that he could not be a chaplain of the empire but was sent to be a
prophet of God—one anointed by God and the people to do the work of love,
justice, and liberation. —Erica N. Williams
Thursday
If we have the priest and the prophet, we have a system constantly refining
itself and correcting itself from within. —Richard Rohr
Friday
Although Jesus himself may be perceived as heir to the legacy of Amos and
Jeremiah, the Gospels present him as more than a prophet. He is, according to
the Evangelists, the Son of God, who adds something new to the prophetic
concern for justice. —Amy-Jill Levine
