My Prophetic Ministry
Who are prophets?- Urged people to reject
worshiping false gods;
- Urged people to care of the most vulnerable in the society (children, widows, orphans, the sick, elderly, the stranger, the oppressed);
![Page 17: The Paschal Mystery and Our O wn L ife](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816707550346895ddb6eb6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Prophets
Called for an end to societal injustice – the powerful to protect the poor and vulnerable;
Called for an end to hypocritical worship of God – urged people to worship God with pure heart;
![Page 18: The Paschal Mystery and Our O wn L ife](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816707550346895ddb6eb6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Can I be a prophet and …
Speak our for the protection of life – against violence of any sort – towards any human person including the unborn;
Help those people who are in need – or food, clothing, shelter, advice;

Kingly Ministry
How to be a leader that is different from leaders who seek their own fame and gain?
-- Jesus has states: “My kingdom does not belong to this world” (John 18:33, 36)
![Page 21: The Paschal Mystery and Our O wn L ife](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816707550346895ddb6eb6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What type of leader was Jesus?
Refuses to become ruler through any compromise with evil;
He is completely committed to doing the right thing even if it means:
- Personal suffering;- Seeming failure according to the
world’s standards.

Kingly ministry in my daily life…
Attitude we bring to our words and actions:
1) becoming aware of one’s actions – trying to avoid sin and temptation to achieve good through lying, cheating, intentionally hurting someone;

Kingly ministry in my daily life…
2) Being humble – being realistic about one’s strengths and weaknesses;
3) Making a commitment to make our families and communities a little bit better through our presence and actions;
4) Striving to help out where help is needed.
