The Cry Of The Prophet:
A Call To Fullness Of Life
by Joan Chittister, OSB
Joan Chittister asks, "What do the great prophets -- Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, Micah, Ezekiel and Jesus -— have in common with us?"
And she answers: All of them were simple souls like you and me. All of them loved without limit, burned with an enduring patience, were afire with God and proclaimed a new vision. All of them invite you and me to claim our prophetic dimension and speak God’s work in the midst of human chaos.
Prophecy, she insists is not a luxury; it is an essential dimension of the Christian life.
