Hi folks,

I’m just wondering, would anyone here know if there are any Catholic prophets that I can speak to online? Or if there are any Catholic prophets I can get in touch with who I can speak to?

Thanks.
 
We don’t have living “Catholic Prophets”. At least, none whom the Church is going to endorse as credible while they are still living.

There are plenty of self-styled “Catholic prophets” posting on the Internet, but because their output falls in the category of “unapproved private revelations” for the most part, we are not permitted to discuss them here. Also, a good many of them end up going off the deep end and getting the smackdown from their bishop.

What did you want to discuss with such a person?

No more prophets. Speak with Jesus Christ in prayer and read the Gospel.

Catechism of the Catholic Church
719 John the Baptist is “more than a prophet.” In him, the Holy Spirit concludes his speaking through the prophets. John completes the cycle of prophets begun by Elijah. He proclaims the imminence of the consolation of Israel; he is the “voice” of the Consoler who is coming. As the Spirit of truth will also do, John “came to bear witness to the light.” In John’s sight, the Spirit thus brings to completion the careful search of the prophets and fulfills the longing of the angels. “He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit. And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God. . . . Behold, the Lamb of God.”

Luke 16
16 The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one useth violence towards it. 17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fall.

Yes, I know that there are false prophets out there that we as christian people need to be very weary of.

It’s sort of a personal nature that I don’t really wish to get into but I am in a state of confusion in my life right now and was hoping that by speaking to someone a long that line that I would be able to get the advice and guidance of God’s will for me to place me on the path God wants for me.

Did you mean priests, not prophets? We don’t acknowledge people as “prophets” anymore. If you want spiritual advice from a Catholic perspective there are plenty of places to get that. It just won’t be from a “prophet”.
 
Wildy, we would recommend you make an appointment with a priest who can offer you spiritual counseling. Are you Catholic? Whether Catholic or not, you can contact your local Catholic parish and ask for an appointment. God bless.
 
Sorry perhaps “Prophet” was the wrong word to use, a spiritual advisor/councilor would probably be the correct term perhaps? I’m not sure what the official title would be.

I’ve spoken to a Priest already and he knows my situation and has advised that I speak to a person of this nature.
 
Could you perhaps ask him for recommendations for spiritual directors?

Yes, you should seek out a spiritual director.
Ideally your priest should have provided you with some resources to locate a spiritual director, if he did not feel capable of counseling you himself.
If your priest could not provide you with the resources to find one, try contacting your diocese. They often have a list of people who offer their help in such capacity.

Ah ok, a spiritual director is what they’re called then?

Right then what I need to do is to find one of them I guess.
 
Yes, and again you should ask the priest who he would advise, or you can also call the diocese and ask them the same question. They will be aware of spiritual counselors in your area.
 
Contrary to popular belief here, the age of prophets has not gone by, in fact it is alive and well.

By our Christian baptism, we are configured in the threefold ministry of Christ: Priest, Prophet, and King. The charism of Prophecy means that we speak for, and interpret, God’s and His Word. It is the teaching office of the Church, inasmuch as we impart doctrine and teachings to others. We do this without the authority of clerics, of course, but we are still responsible for proclaiming the Gospel to one another and to the whole world. This is a participation in the prophetic ministry, and so we can properly call all baptized Christians “prophets”.
 
@TheLittleLady is correct, St. John is the last prophet. You can contact with your spiritual director or a Catholic priest. If you want to find your own spiritual director, you can talk with your parish priest. You can do that online also!
 
St John: the Spirit will teach you everything and remind what Jesus said.
Prophecy among 7 gifts of Holy Spirit is extremely rare.

Many Christian churches have ministry of prophecy as normal activity, but it is not acceptable in Catholic church…

There may be Catholics alive today with the gift of prophecy, as it has manifest in many saints over the centuries; but “Prophet” is not an ordained ministry or ordinary vocation in the church.

“Priest, prophet, and king” is the vocation of every baptized Christian, sharing in the threefold ministry of Christ.
