Only the devil calls men to be priests.

Most Pricous. God Always Bless an Stay w You . June 21 2014
if im going to assume the mantle of priesthood then i will make my parish stop Novus Ordo practices and go back to tradition.
Holy shit thats deep
Roman Catholics should be not be confused the ELCA is not Lutheran.
May the Almighty God, strengthen and bless all Catholic Priest around the world...
Great content!
I like the pool. Now they have been born again Thank you Jesus 🙏🙏🙏
Great information, Father. Thank you!

Well done, Don Smith and Catholic Courier..
Amen!
Do not ignore the calling … Do not let the cursed satan pull you away from the light (the straight path) . Step towards the light and out of the darkness ❤ GOD LOVES YOU AND WANTS TO SAVE YOUT SOUL AND 1000s of OTHERS.
I’m a 26 year old single man and I want to be married but cant find a wife, and I really want to have a family. Is struggling with women an indication that I have a calling to the priesthood? I have had countless talking stages with women and one failed toxic relationship just this year, and im worried I will never find the right woman. I have no interest in the priesthood or religious life or being a permanent bachelor. Been praying to meet my future wife for years but my prayers seem useless. Everyone I know is already in a relationship or engaged and they’re younger than me. I have strong sexual desires that are not sinful, but they’re painful because they’re unfulfilled. Im starting to believe that if God wanted me to find someone special, it would have happened by now. Im tired of hearing “God’s timing” and “Gods plan” when im just constantly lonely and sad. God doesn’t care that I want a family, let alone a good woman. God would rather have me be depressed and wishing I got married every day instead of actually being married. I do my best to stay physically active. I run 20 miles a week and lift weights. But im short at 5’8. Im feeling desperately lonely. Im worried just because I am worried that struggling to find a wife means im called to be a priest.
I’m from Rochester and so many of these priests have served me and those I love
hello
I am not sure what the Church is being changed into. I would love to be a priest. I am not sure I am the right person now. At one time maybe. But I wish I could, but the Church is being altered, seemingly, and that is one reason I wonder about it. It is so arrogant to want to think we can preserve traditional values and Latin Mass while Vatican is acting so radically. I am worried for Our Church. The pre Vatican 2 generation will not be on earth soon. Jesus help me start with my faith, so I can do as you wish. Lemme know. That's what I think often.
Don't worry my friend. Catholic church belongs to Jesus Christ and he promised that none can destroy it even the power from hell. How do you take it?
Thank you, Father Amato. And thank you, Catholic Courier, for bringing this practical guidance on prayer to lead us through the Lenten season..
I love u god ❤

Christmas is pagan. It is saturnalia. It is evil. It is not the birth of christ.
I'm 25 now and i been denying the calling since 3 yrs. Finally have decided to give me life to serve the lord. Praying to join the seminary the coming year. I feel peace in my heart ❤ remember me in your prayers ❤
Hello I hope you are like me because me also I am very afraid to respond the vocation of priesthood. what about you?
@@tuyisingizejean I am joining the seminary my dear. Just listen to his voice and respond. The lord is there he will help you.
which group did you join@@richarddunwell4728
@@tuyisingizejeanSt. Camillus de Lellis will help and motivate you. How would you want to administer sacraments to the poor, the sick and the dying?
Thank you for decerning the vocation that our almighty God gives to whom he wants. In addition pray for me also to be continuing to wish that wonderful vocation.

When will the Catholic Church once again embrace the consumption of the Blood of Christ by the congregation thru Holy Communion in the celebration of the Eucharist?
I'm not a young man but I always thouht God has called me to be a priest and I don't know how to go about it being 50 yrs old
Praying for you 🙏 hope you went ahead and took the steps
I’m 46. I can relate. Did you pursue this?
42...I feel myself slipping away some times and all I can think about is Our Lord.
May God bless our priests always!
ELCA are not Lutheran.
Lets be honest would you leave you're son alone with a young man that has no inerest in girls
I’m pretty sure priests also have interest in girls lol unless they’re not straight they’re just strong enough (in most cases) to suppress this urge and to suppress the flesh
Most Priest do like women but the vow of celibacy is a sacrifice they make
These men choose to give up a life with a woman to live a life dedicated to Christ. If you find that creepy then you have a perverted mind. Christ was also celibate.
I think one of the requirements is that you actually have dated before
@@itzfrkenI’m single at 26 and dont feel strong enough to suppress that desire. But I cant find a woman. I want to date and have a family, but I cant find a woman to marry and its making me depressed
Hi, I'm from Nigeria. I hear this voice calling me to the priesthood but I dont know who's voice it is...😢
Me too, everything aligns but I am not sure. It has been something i have been hearing for months and can’t stop thinking about.. Do you feel the same? How have you dealt with this?
@@annovi25 I've asked God for a sign but I'm still unsure to be honest
@@IAmDozman would you be interested in talking about our experiences? do you have some sort of social media we could connect on?
Spend time in the eucharist and you'll get all the clearance. Always remember what's from god is not confusing. Spend good time in the adoration and the lord will speak.

SUCH A WONDERFUL CALLING!!
i have seen a lot of bishops in my lifetime. some of them were good. some of them were not good at all. A couple of them were even Catholic.
did anyone bother to ask if matano is a Catholic?
they have no place to do this except in the Presence of the Blessed Sacrament? bad sign right off the bat.
ironic. clark would hate this beautiful music
I am a seminarian residing in the Philippines, and I am currently in the Novice stage of my formation. This video greatly motivates young people to respond to God's call to priesthood. I kindly ask for your prayers for an increase in priestly vocations. Thank you.
If 99% of youre age group are normal what does that make you
We're missing St. Stan's. Moved to FL. God bless everyone.
oh really? if i were him, i would not brag about it. Another bishop who likes kids!!!! We had one of those. He especially liked to "work" with handsome young teenage boys.
hubbard and clark were both useless harmful disasters. traitors to their own religion. destructive to the health of God's Church.
i knew clark was a loser. i didn't know about dolan.
the Cathedral WAS really destroyed. It is really stupid the way it is arranged. I saw a video of a Mass there. The priest did his best, given the arrangement of the sanctuary, but it is a liturgical disaster. So typical of the irreverent idiocies of the 70s
