You are a prophet—Fifteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time (Cycle B)
Reprised from 2021
Amos 7:12–15; Eph. 1:3–14; Mark 6:7–13
You are a prophet. Note that I didn’t say, “Imagine that you are a prophet,” or “What if you were a prophet?” You are a prophet. Your baptism and confirmation join you to Christ—who is priest, prophet, and king. And since you are joined to the Body of Christ through baptism, that makes you priest, prophet, and king. The Catechism affirms that we share in these offices with Him in sections 897-913. That spiritual reality holds whether you are a member of the clergy or a member of the laity.
By the word prophet, I don’t mean someone who predicts future events but someone who is enabled to see and speak the Truth.
