"Go, you will be a prophet for my people"
A Reading from the book of the prophet Amos (7, 12-15)
In those days Amazias, the priest of Bethel, said to the prophet Amos: “You seer, go out of here, flee into the land of Judah; it is there that you will be able to earn your living by doing your profession as a prophet. But here at Bethel, stop prophesying; for it is a royal sanctuary, a temple of the kingdom. Amos replied to Amazias: “I was not a prophet nor the son of a prophet; I was a herdsman, and I looked after the sycamores. But the Lord grabbed me when I was behind the flock, and it was he who said to me: “Go, you will be a prophet to my people Israel.” "
- Word of the Lord.
