The prophet lives in the face of extinction. He or she walks anywhere upon the earth with the recognition that any gate entered may be the last. Yet, each step is taken with hope for each step finds its foundation upon the Word. Few want to hear the Word or to live a life guided by the Spirit, yet the prophet speaks and lives in faith knowing the penetrating power of the Word that will cut to the heart.

I want to be foolish like a prophet, faithfully foolish. I don't know what else to rightly want at the moment.

(Tobit 1:3, 2:1-8, Psalm 112, Mark 1:1-12)
