Summary

Fr. Mike expands on Ezekiel 33 and emphasizes that the role of a prophet, is to be God's watchman and speak whatever it is God wants to be spoken. He stresses the reality that those who are teachers and leaders, who shape and form the consciences of others, have the responsibility to speak the truth even when it's hard. Today's readings are Jeremiah 5, Ezekiel 33, and Proverbs 14:21-24.

0:11.3	podcast is brought to you by Ascension, using the great adventure Bible timeline. We'll read all
0:15.2	the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit
0:19.6	into that story today. It is day 228. Congratulations y'all. I'm reading from Jeremiah chapter 5,
0:25.4	Ezekiel chapter 33, and Proverbs chapter 14 verses 21 through 24. As always, the Bible translation
0:31.2	that I'm reading from is the revised standard version, the second Catholic edition. I'm using

1:16.0	as the Lord lives, yet they swear falsely. O Lord, do not your eyes look for truth? You have
1:23.8	struck them down, but they felt no anguish. You have consumed them, but they refused to take
1:29.6	correction. They have made their faces harder than rock. They have refused to repent.
1:36.4	Then I said, these are only the poor. They have no sense. For they do not know the way of the Lord,
1:42.3	the law of their God. I will go to the great and will speak to them, for they know the way of the
1:47.7	Lord, the law of their God. But they alike had broken the yoke. They had burst the bonds.
1:55.2	Therefore, a lion from the forest shall slay them. A wolf from the desert shall destroy them. A
