A prophet is never well-accepted in his own country.
Talking about prophets and saints, we tend to have in mind people who did great things, have great intelligence, smart, holy,etc. The one who speaks well in front of the crowd but cannot be from our same town or neighborhood, not even our peers or companions. Today, while reflecting on the Gospel, I am reminded that these people are in our midst, doing small, ordinary or even insignificant things. They might not be of the intelligence we expected or as smart.
How often do I seek to listen and praise only people who speak well, who do great things, and take for granted the saints in my own community, family and Church?
