Book •
Richard Rohr's "The Tears of Things" explores the role of prophets in society, contrasting them with priests.

Rohr emphasizes the prophet's focus on self-critique and confronting internal 'sin' rather than externalizing blame.

The book draws parallels between ancient Jewish prophets and contemporary challenges, urging readers to examine their own complicity in societal ills.

It offers a framework for personal and collective transformation, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and confronting uncomfortable truths.

Ultimately, it calls for a more just and compassionate society.
