The Prophet Is Called

4 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
5 “Before I1 aformed you in the womb bI knew you;
Before you were born I csanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”  
6 Then said I:
a“Ah, Lord God!
Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”  
7 But the Lord said to me:
“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And awhatever I command you, you shall speak. 
8 aDo not be afraid of their faces,
For bI am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.  
9 Then the Lord put forth His hand and atouched my mouth, and the Lord said to me:
“Behold, I have bput My words in your mouth.

Jeremiah 1:5

Before I formed thee - I had destined thee to the prophetic office before thou wert born: I had formed my plan, and appointed thee to be my envoy to his people. St. Paul speaks of his own call to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles in similar terms, Galatians 1:15, Galatians 1:16.
