Living Our Faith
Fr. Robert Barron said that baptized prophets should exercise their brains by studying theology, spirituality, church history, and the lives of the saints. In studying the examples of saints such as Thomas Aquinas and holy people like G. K. Chesterton we will become enlightened. These prophets are then sent out into their worlds as beacons of light. God knows that in our increasingly secularized society, such illumination is desperately needed, but if baptized prophets stop studying and stop speaking, they are like lamps over which a bushel basket has been placed.
