The Call from Sunday, Jan. 12

Oscar Romero, in the quote below, speaks of each follower as a prophet. How can you be God’s microphone? Not feeling it? Then what is your role? How do you live out the connection to Jesus life and ministry?

The Call

Each one of you has to be God’s microphone. Each one of you has to be a messenger, a prophet. The church will always exist as long as there is someone who has been baptized…Where is your baptism? You are baptized in your professions, in the fields of workers, in the market. Wherever there is someone who has been baptized, that is where the church is. There is a prophet there. Let us not hide the talent that God gave us on the day of our baptism and let us truly live the beauty and responsibility of being a prophetic people.

—Oscar Romero
