In all our ministries, prophetic voices must not be stifled. When they arise, they will be heard, tested, and supported<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n

CC&RR, Rule 9b<\/em><\/p>\n

Father Jett\u00e9 comments on this:<\/p>\n

“Working in the promotion of justice is a difficult and delicate task. It publicly affects persons and institutions. It is not without risks and requires both prudence and courage. We are hard and stern with \u201cprophets\u201d: that may perhaps be a safeguard but it is also a cross. We ought to carry it boldly, but while always keeping in mind two principles that the Abbe Michonneau used to mention:<\/p>\n

– the more the position we hold in \u201can advanced post\u201d, the more necessary it is to have received it from the authorities; it is not up to each one to choose his own part in the Church, and less than ever when there is the risk of compromising the latter.<\/p>\n

– the more a missionary is in an \u201cadvanced\u201d position, the more necessary it is for him to remain in liaison with the centre of the Church, with a community, with his bishop.<\/p>\n

If he is thus linked to the Church by means of his mandate and his fidelity, the missionary will be sure that he is doing God\u2019s work and that he is usefully working for his Reign (cf. Abbe Michonneau and R.P. Chery, O.P., L\u2019Esprit missionnaire, Paris, Cerf, 1950, p. 96).<\/p>\n

This is the spirit with which the last sentence was added to article”<\/p>\n

F. Jett\u00e9, The Apostolic Man<\/em>, p. 103 – 104<\/p>\n

Sadly, many wonderful personal missionary and prophetic projects have never survived the death of its founder who worked alone. Community and obedience are our guarantee of support and success.<\/p>\n

\n
The call and the presence of the Lord among us today bind us together in charity and obedience to create anew in our own lives the Apostles\u2019 unity with him and their common mission in his Spirit.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Obedience and charity bind us together, priests and Brothers, keeping us interdependent in our lives, and missionary activity\u201d<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
