Why This Matters

Moses was the greatest prophet Israel had ever known—the one who spoke with God face to face. Yet Moses himself said another prophet like him would come. Peter declared in Acts that Jesus is that prophet, the one all Israel was commanded to listen to. Just as Moses delivered Israel from Egypt, Jesus delivers humanity from sin.

Reflection

Lord, give me courage to speak life, mercy, and hope. Through Prophet Like Moses, train my hands and words for Your mission.
