DAY 47 – MARY, QUEEN OF THE MOST HOLY ROSARY, PRAY FOR US

BORN FOR COMBAT

Prophet:  Bishop Robert Barron says, “A prophet is someone who speaks for God. Their task is to speak God’s word, in season and out (whether that word is popular or not). It means you should be a reader of theology and spirituality that you might, as St. Peter put it, ‘give a reason for the hope that is in you.’ We’re living in a time when religion is under attack. If someone challenged you, could you give a reason for the hope that is in you?”
