Ralph Martin reflects on a question he has been receiving a lot lately: "What is prophecy?" He also discusses a prophecy Fr. Michael Scanlan shared in 1980 and discusses its relevance today.

"Our prosperity has been a tremendous blessing from the Lord, but many of us have responded to prosperity by saying, "We've got things under control. We've got what we need. We don't need God." And rather than thanking Him for these blessings, rather than thanking Him for the time of peace . . . we've taken them for granted, and many of us have drifted away into being lukewarm, into compromise with the world, just like the prophecy says here."
