The gift of the Lord is first of all responsibility. In today’s reading of the Old Testament, the Lord speaks to Ezekiel that one should not simply listen to His word - and keep silent. If God gave to the prophet the gift to listen, then what is listened cannot be simply taken as an information for the memory and be put aside somewhere near. By addressing Ezekiel, God speaks with the Israeli people through him. The task of the prophet is to transmit God's word with accuracy. This been said, his responsibility does not extend any more: after the word is said, the person is already responsible for his acts.
