Fr Michael DochertyWoe to You! -
The Prophetic Challenge
Well we didn't get to meet the dog but Fr Michael did take us on an exciting journey (with his new exciting computer programme!) on which we met the Old Testament prophets. What is a prophet you might ask? Well a common misconception is that they were people who could tell the future but as Fr Michael showed us, they were actually people who listened to God and repeated what they heard. Their message was not always popular as it challenged people to change their ways but the centre of all of their prophecies was the deep longing of God for His people - a longing He has for each of us.
From Jeremiah to Jonah, Hosea to Habakkuk, Zephaniah to Zechariah, Micah to Malachi not forgetting Isaiah, Ezekiel and all the other brave prophets along the way, we were inspired by the devotion to God that challenged them to take risks and make His message heard.
Do we dare take up their mantle today?
