“Fils d’homme, je fais de toi un guetteur !”

Patrice Marivin of Aleteia explains that the liturgy uses the words, Son of man, I make you a watchman, to describe the specific mission and calling of a priest.

Drawing from Ez 33, 7, Marivin notes that God establishes the prophet for the purpose of reading everything. This role serves as a way to understand what a priest is truly called to do.
