Prophet
A prophet has a responsibility for the moment, an openness to what the moment reveals. He is a person who knows what time it is.
—Abraham Joshua Heschel, The Prophets
The prophet learns to be for and with, not against.
They are for those who are suffering or excluded.
They are centered not on sin but on growth, change, and life.
They know that the best teachers are reality itself and creation.
Richard Rohr, The Tears of Things: Wisdom in an Age of Outrage (Convergent, 2025), 162–163
