Jeremiah's Difficult Ministry
- Fr. Mike Schmitz introduces Jeremiah, a prophet also known as the "Prophet of Doom" and the "Weeping Prophet".
- Unlike Ezekiel, Jeremiah prophesied in Judah for most of his life and witnessed Jerusalem's destruction.
The Weeping Prophet
- Jeremiah's message was hard because it foretold doom and would largely be ignored.
- Fr. Mike emphasizes staying close to Jeremiah's story, as it lacks the "wins" of other prophets like Isaiah or Ezekiel.
Jeremiah's Call and Rejection
- God knew and consecrated Jeremiah before birth, appointing him a prophet.
- Despite this calling, Jeremiah's message of repentance was rejected for 50 years.
