Rooted In Prophetic Passion (/) Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Rooted in Prophetic Passion (Part I)

Jesus is rooted in the experience of the …
Prophets of Israel -the mouthpiece of Yahweh
To safeguard 'His' holiness
and to transport this holiness in a form of a 'spirituality'

Jesus' 'prophetic spirit' means …
Service for love and mercy - His 'holy indignation'

Jesus' 'prophetic indignation' means …
Impatience against the abuses that afflict the innocent
and the little in the society,
Anger against the indifference of people
towards the victim of injustices in our midst,
Intolerance against the 'society-self-deception'
towards 'spiritual mediocrity'

Jesus thus speaks …
Fight against indifference and skepticism,
Criticize order and law that crippled by egoism and consumerism,
Perform creative gesture of kindness against discrimination and exclusivism
