By John Grondelski, National Catholic Register - The readings for the 14th Sunday of Ordinary Time (July 8) focus on prophets. The text from Ezekiel tells us that, whether people listen or not has nothing to do with the truth of the prophet’s message. The Gospel contains the famous line about “a prophet [being] not without honor, except in his native place.”… The prophets were not fortune tellers… but the primary focus of the Old Testament prophets’ attention was now, not the future.
