- The priesthood is anything but boring. Fr. John Muir takes us along for a day in the life of a priest to show us that becoming a priest doesn't mean leaving behind who you are and what you're passionate about.
Have you asked God what vocation YOU are called to? Now is a great time.

I’m 14 years old and I’m thanking god is calling me to be a priest, and I keep praying that I will be a great priest. 🙏🙏❤️
I am a Muslim and I loved your video. It actually brought me memory of how I wanted to enter the priesthood years back. Catholics have been the best people in my life. I have many catholic families who are the sweetest people. I am glad to have had the experience with catholicism ❤
I will pray for you
I hv also had nice moslem people. Am catholic and I respect other's faith
Wow
I pray that someday God will bring you home
May the Lord bring you back home to the Catholic faith❤
Next week i can realized my dream become seminarian at St. Vincent De Paul Seminary Garum. I need some pray for my vocation.....
Gregorius Aldi God Bless u

May God bless you and hold you.
Gusti Yesus tresno karo kowe
Hello Father, I am 13, and i believe that I would like to be a priest. Ever since I started thinking about jobs of what I would want to do and study in college, there has been this nudging thought about priesthood, hopefully one day I can fulfill my dream in becoming a priest.
+GamerCraft 34 I"ll pray for you, I'm 17 and God asked me to become a sister! :) God bless you!
+GamerCraft 34 I am the exact same! I am 13 as well, and I am really hearing a call from God to become a Roman Catholic Priest. I even have 2 books I got for free giving information of the Catholic Priesthood for those who wan to beocme a Catholic Priest.
***** Thank you very much!
+Tyler Martensen thank you, and I will look into that book! :)
+GamerCraft 34 Yes that's nice, you can also think of other great jobs like being a Catholic Monk!
My son remembers his first calling as young as 3. He is now 18 in the seminary. He is so incredibly happy.
Please pray for me as I discern the priesthood, God bless!
May God raise up more priests for His people. And thanks be to Him for them.
"Now I'm in my sin fighting suit." &
"No, you can't baptize your llama."
~Fr. John Muir
😂😂😂
the llama part killed me lol
Corbin Davis priests should be able baptize llama's as much as he's able to baptize a baby, both are invalid for baptism!
@Michael Caza-Schonberger It's a mikveh don't fret it, Jews and Catholic have practiced it for ages. its our tradition... you follow your particular founder's tradition and even those bozos could not decide among themselves if baptising infants is ok... So here is some advise... go convince your own protestant fellows to you opinion and then you can lets us know how that goes ok?
deusimperator you comment out of ignorance. The Biblical Greek Baptizo means immersion, not sprinkling! The eastern rite and the orthodox have it right, however the infant baptism isn't Biblically accurate. Infant baptism wasn't even mentioned until the mid 100s!! You sir need to do you research before you comment! You resorting to name calling only proves your immaturity, ignorance, and arrogance!
@Michael Caza-Schonberger
Perhaps if you had taken the time to attend a Catholic christening (that is what we traditionally call baptism) you might have noticed that we do not “sprinkle” as you not so eloquently stated. We follow the ancient formula of baptism set forth in the Didache which set forth the formula as to how a baptism is to be carried out. Catholics, ordinarily, pour water over the head thrice in accordance with the formula set forth in the Didache followed by the anointing with chrism.
I am glad that you consider the Eastern Rites (patriarchates under the pope), Orthodox and do not forget the Oriental baptisms valid. After all, all these Churches follow the formula provided by the Didache. All these Churches do baptize infants.
At this point of time, I would like to remind you that Luther and Calvin were proponents of infant baptism. Calvin went so far as to claim that those who deprived an infant of baptism openly violated the will of the Lord. We had to wait until the fourth generation of reformers to claim that infant baptism was anti-biblical.
Given that the Didache was written by Jewish Catholics (see the Jewish Encyclopedia on the subject) who sought provide a catechize gentile catechumens and bring them into the faith through this mikveh would never have considered not baptizing infants and children, after all this was the Jewish custom when a family or members of a family converted.
Come on now, you know I am hardly ignorant, I am a walking encyclopedia of knowledge. ;)
Instead of wondering over and poking the Catholic bear and rattling your sabre at us, would it not be more virtuous to convince your protestant brothers no to baptize infants and having them sing from the same song book before venturing an opinion against the Catholics. Of course, I understand herding cats and having them meow in unison might not be successful, but you should try before trying to convince Catholics. I was baptized within seven hours of being born.
Michael, the Catholic Church is your home, you just don’t know it... yet.
I have been a priest 25 years this May 12th. I am praying for you brother. Ministry with youth is so important.
Stay away from the youth
@@JDTH3pplsChamp I am not sure I understand the meaning of your reply. Can you elaborate?
@@pappinr Forgive him he’s a troll.
Hello Fr. My name is Stanley. I want to be a Diocesan priest. Please can you help me to get into a Diocese
@@stanleyobasi5543 You need to contact your local bishop and vocation director. They will help guide you in the process. Be assured it is a long journey and you will need to spend a long time in prayer and discernment. But you should start with your local church.
May God bless our priests. We pray for the increase of vocations.
I think it's better to pray that everyone who is called to priesthood answers it. God will call the right amount.
McGannahan Skjellyfetti What a way to lose your time don't you think so? Don't you have any other thing to do apart from trolling in Catholic videos? Rethink
Amen.
everyone is called to be a priest anyone can heal, spread the gospel why? because if Jesus is in us and we have faith we can with only the power of Jesus
I'm afraid you're wasting you're time most of the priests in Ireland are over 70 but the stupid hierarchy thinks there's no problem
Wow God bless this man. I've been so scared and defeated in my discernment lately, second guessing God's call, but when he said "Get off the couch and come be a priest," a big bright smile came across my face. Thank you Father.
Julian S. That’s how I currently am, very confused but I want to say that I trust God to try. How’s your journey?
be blessed.
Father, that's a nice kitchen you have there. Been struggling and praying for many years in my tiny apartment. PLEASE pray for a kitchen and home upgrade for me. ✝️🙏
Thank you to ALL Priests, Religious and Consecrated people! Thank you for your Yes to God! I am praying for you and your Vocation, Father. You are fighting right on the front lines. Thank you!
God bless all priests!
Tipparat Duangin *Catholic Priest. True church of God that CHRIST founded in 33AD! Peace my friend.
@Tipparat Duangin, Yes. They either follow worldly things or follow God alone.
Not judging but some priests to me are not as humble; they act like they are but they not.
What does that have to do to my response. Are you saved by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?
Do you know The Gospel?
I was going to ignore you but I did not.
Yet, this is the end with going back and forth with you😂
*Not against your religion but the Bible says* you shall not have any graven image in the form of anything above, or in the earth or in the water below. You shall not bow to them or worship them.
The Bible is clear we don't have to make an argument about it we need not to worship does idols for God is spirit and not a imagination of a man.
@@yordyne.menendez7744
Then why you haven't told that to artist of paintings and statues?
You're a protestant.
"sin fighting suit" yes.
May God bless and protect all priests, our Church needs them more than ever.
Hi! I'm 15 years old and i want to become a Dominican,For about 5 months I go to Church evry day and prey,I can't wait to become a Priest,for me one of the best parts of being a Priest is to be abel to absolve someone from his sins
I will pray for you! Follow your heart's desire, and give it all for Christ if you are called! It is all or nothing! :D
It would be good for you to be a priest. However, you need to learn proper spelling and get a great education. Also, it is God who absolves someone from his/her sins through the priest. The priest cannot do it by himself.
@@noraarico1313 you know how to motivate someome. He is still young obviously he will learn
) $kf
5 years later… how’s life?
It's sad to see how empty the churches are now :/
Fernando Esparza To be fair it was by a university and in the middle of a city. People prefer to go to church in an area where it's much less Crowded and noisy so...Yeah But I know it is sad because i love mass
Cuz there are to many.
Fernando Esparza lol that's because it was daily mass during the week. It's the same at my college, packed OK Sundays and Saturdays though
It's fantastic that people are being more educated and less brainwashed.
It's no wonder. The priests are goofing off all day, and spending money on cappuccino, electronic toys, and eating out instead of on charitable works.
After returning to church last year after several years dormant, ever since I returned, I'd feel these tugs at my heart during Adoration. I'm glad I found this video
I am a convert and really enjoyed my first Priest, fresh out of the seminary. About a year later he got moved to the diocese and they brought in a new Priest. This new Priest I did not like, he actually told us during one of his homily's that he was not looking to become a Priest but was talked into it, and you could tell too. We have a new Priest now that brought back the passion for me that my first Priest gave to me. I love being Catholic.
Great video!!! Please keep me in your prayers as I am discerning if God is calling me to the priesthood.
Brenden Fitzpatrick God keep
Calling u and blessing u
Brenden Fitzpatrick yes ur in my prayers its awesome very much an amazing vocation i love my preists i was lost but now found and its thanks to my preist.
That's awesome we need more priest I'll pray for you . God bless
be attentive to the spirit bro.
I am a devout catholic Father. Stay safe and God bless you!
This is fabulous. God bless Fr. John Muir and his work! Praying for more men to enter the priesthood.
Praying for vocations to the priesthood. God Bless you Fr. John Muir
I’m so proud to be catholic
God bless you, father! Thank you for your sacrifice as a priest. We love you❤️🙏
I'm only just now becoming a teenager I think I would love to become a priest. Thank you all priests for doing what you do for us.
Every now and then I feel like God could be calling me to be a priest one day.
I admire this man. I want to be a priest. I'm really messed up in life with drinking, drugs and sex. I've always had a want for this profession and be so close to God. Christ is Lord, Amen.
Braedon I know this message comes long after you posted this reply, and you may never see it, but I was really impacted by your comment. I genuinely pray that you have been able to make room for Him, above all else. That's not often easy. St. Augustine strayed far from a life of integrity, until he didn't. Those of us who sin but ultimately yearn for a closer relationship with God are in good company. But I hope in the year that has passed you have discovered even more thoroughly the truth of God's goodness, and that you know He loves you without fail. Good luck with everything.
This is one of the coolest priest ever
I'm so excited to enter the seminary this incoming month of August like this is always what I've been praying for
Updates?
Thanks for uploading this video. Absolutely love it. I'm currently discerning my vocation so please pray for me.
+Jack Kilday Don't do it, you idiot.
+Jack Kilday
Don't listen to the jackass below you, if God is calling you to the Priesthood, answer it!
+Three Catholic Teens Jackass isn't the right term to use, he obviously doesn't know God and I feel like we shouldn't refer to them as that.
+Logan Holly No, I obviously don't "know" god. But neither do you. But I have the honesty to admit that. Mankind invented gods, semi-gods, goddesses in staggering numbers and since time immemorial, angry gods, benign gods, revengeful, jealous gods. And it never occurred to you that "god" maybe a projection of whatever quality you, people consider properties of the divine. They all believed that they "knew" their respective gods and what they wanted. Maybe they want a human sacrifice? That used to be a staple of divine desire. How do I break it to you.... You are imagining things. You add that to the fact that there is no proof that religion improves the human condition or humans themselves. Too often it just makes the self-righteous, intolerant and murderous. Don't get me started on the history of the catholic church and how appalling its representatives to this day behaved. So there.
+TheCatholicGuy many thanks
What a wonderful young man. He will be heard by the younger people today. I would not mind going to a Mass said by Father Muir.
Hi Fr this was amazing... I too am on the way to priesthood.. I'm a salesian cleric right now.. you really inspire me.. reminded me of Don Bosco..one who was deeply human and deeply spiritual. a perfect blend of nature and grace.. thanks for sharing this video.. and I think it's a good vocation promotion strategy...
Father I want to be a Priest, and I'm from the Philippines. And priests here are highly respected.
As a straight woman I realise being a Catholic priest is unavailable for me as an option. It is something I used to feel excluded from and to be honest I can not find an appropriate word for how I truly describe how I feel. I adore Jesus. I got married in a Catholic Church to a very kind man who used to go regularly to Church to Mass. We are not the people I expected us to be in so e ways it has been a lonely step learning curve bringing up a son and a daughter who did not see the Catholic Church as a place to remain as life hurt them badly and the way the path of life led us is the outcome of how we treated the Lord. Before the Coronavirus I have returned to Eucharist Adoration, Confession, and Holy Communion. I felt grateful to realise I was a repentant sinner but saved by the Blood of Jesus. I am staying away from crowds and churches and shops while all the scary virus crisis goes on around me. It feels the right way to cope. I study my faith from Franciscanfriars Homilies and draw solace and strength from the Lord through these sermons. I enjoyed your video of a day in your life Father and if that is how it is most days you are a model of a hard working God respecting Catholic priest. God bless your life and the influence you have on others. I pray the believers in Our Lord stand strong in their faith in Him as we suffer in these times of testing and sudden climate shifts. God bless.
I have seriously considered being a priest for a while. I'm 20 years old and my great grandfather was a priest.
Evan Paluch He's not a real priest😑
Father Thomas Yeah right. Stop impersonating people and get a life.
How could he be your grandfather if he's a priest?
Shizz2333 The Chaldean Catholic Church allows marriage.
Michael Petros Ahh, I understand. Greetings my eastern brother.
good on you father..you are one of the best shepherd of our almighty father in heaven.being a priest you have done a great job to all people around you by spreading a word of god and helping saving an innocent babies, for the young mothers for not having an abortion. it's good to know how you balance your day to day life as being a priest. god bless you father and be safe always. please pray for me and for my family-I'm Helen from Sydney:). have a great day father:)
Never feel lonely for God is always with you :)
David Crowder...one of my absolute favorite Christian artists! Praying for you Father John and for an increase of vocations to the priesthood and religious life. God bless you!
Great video! Putting a face on the life of a priest and all they do to serve us is awesome. Keep them coming!
Hi Father John, you are such an inspirational priest! I am so proud of you. Thank you for responding to your call. Your videos clips are the wonderful tools for young people. I will keep you in my prayer Father John. Once again thank you for all of your sacrifices, hard work, dedication, and especially your holy vocation.
At 14, I feel called to be an Orthodox priest, maybe even a monk
Fr. Muir seems awesome. Prayers for you, brotha! Keep up the great work for the Lord!
This video is very inspirational. The church has been through so much bad publicity over the last decade that it is no wonder why people are doubtful about those who serve God with their heart and soul. I am glad you took this path and answered the call, Father Muir. You are a shining example of the many good men in the church who are just, faithful and good. It is also wonderful to see you rehabbing the image of the priest and connecting with people in a way that is authentic and attentive. The church has a long way to go to convince the masses and to repair the image that has sullied it so badly. But, Father Muir, I know that with priests like you to represent the priesthood, I have faith that the church will keep pulling forward and overcoming strife. God Bless.
Love the video! The priesthood is so awesome!!! Keep more videos coming :)
a wonderful young priest. The joy of God flows through him. Blessings to you young Father may God grant you a long Life...
Amazing! Will we be seeing a day in the life of a sister soon?!
LizE that's a good idea, if like to see more videos on the lives of the different groups in catholism, life of a monk, life of a nun, life of a bishop etc.
LizE yesss. Would love to see that.
There is some interviews,etc with nuns,too.
My neighbors thought I should have been one,they called me Bob Pope.like the late entertainer Bob Hope.
That'd be cool. My sister wants to be a nun.
Just saw this now and it's insightful. I always thought of priests of highly stoic but you are very loose and easy going as is your lifestyle; thanks for sharing this; God bless you brother in Christ ❤️
Wow! I never thought that a life of a priest is this cool. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of your lige as a Priest I hope we see more. God bless Father and all of your endeavors... 🙏🏻✝🇵🇭
When it comes to becoming a priest or a nun "Many are called, few are chosen" that's what I always hear about... ✝👍🏻🙏🏻
It sounds like the Marines the few the proud the nuns and priests.
Thank you for this video! It's wonderful to see 3 holy priests in our diocese ministering to individuals from all backgrounds. The ASU Newman Center / University of Mary campus has come a long way in the 5 years since this video was made! :)
We do need priests. God bless you guys that elect this vocation!!
@Tipparat Duangin Sola scriptura is unbiblical
please pray for me father,i want to be an active priest as you are father,i enjoyed to see you.
I believe God is calling me to be a priest.
Malik Ore Be careful, constant prayer will tell you if it’s god calling, or your own mind calling? A deep relationship with him will let you know
I’m gonna go to the seminary and be a priest when I’m older
You're totally great Fr Muir - thanks for the video clips and may God bless you and all the priests always - thank you for the service.
Please, please, please (if at all possible) do this with a holy sister, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one intrigued by what that would like.
You're not!
Thank you Father... I needed this right now...I am a seminarian now and things have have been hard lately... Please pray for me
It is well with you.
I pray for you brother
thank you Father for sharing your day.
Thank you Father,, thoroughly enjoyed your day and your love for the Lord, never give up God bless from Australia
Thank you for sharing a day in your life as a priest.
I just turned 16 today, and i'm thinking of being a priest from this video and the pure oy but also guidance and love that they show to their flock as the shepards of the church.
Father you seem like a wonderful person, the people on campus are lucky to have you. May Jesus bless your every moment!
Salute to you father!!! Please remember me in your prayers
He was a priest at my church St. Rose!
Fr. Muir keep the Faith going...God loves you
Very interesting! Even though I am pro-choice I wish this young priest the best. We need more love and joy in the world.
This is a great idea
About time
Congrats
God bless you both!
God Bless Our Priest's we Love Our Priest's. Lord Jesus Thank you so much for the gift of Priests.Praise the Lord Praise the Lord Halleluia Halleluia
This was awesome. It helped me discover that maybe that little voice in my head calling me to priesthood could be pretty cool
Great video Fr. Muir. Blessings to you!
this video is wonderful my compliments!
Your name is John Muir, that is so cool and you are a catholic priest. So awesome.
Love and Support from Tura Diocese India ❤️
I like this video so much ! Priesthood means living 100%, abundantly . Enjoy your priesthood father ! Enjoy, as we say in Greece, your cross !
I love this guy. God bless the world 🙏
Thank you for sharing your day with us, a day that is not like many others' day and I think it is a unique insight! God bless you
Very interesting and inspiring. Makes me more confident about my discernment! Thank you!
I'd really love more of these kinds of videos!
Awesome awesome awesome. Thank you brother for sharing your life with us. Keep on fighting the good fight. Peace!
Hi father
I bet being a priest in the mid summer time is beautiful, taking in Gods beauty and the warmth of his love for all of his children ^^
He's so fun and relatiable
Great video Father. Than you for sharing one day with us. God bless you
Man, great video. God bless!
This was great!
Awesome Video Father. Thanks for the advice. PRIESTHOOD SEMINARY here i come...lols God bless us all :-)
Being a Priest is the most beautiful thing happened in my life.
-Fr Carlo
Hope and pray that those who are devout at your university look into starting a Seven Sisters of the Apostolate. It is a group where each women commits on her designated day one holy hour for her priest. If she chooses, she will also do sacrifices and/or offer up a Mass for the priest. It has become a fast growing ministry through out our country and I believe through out the world. We started one in our parish over a year ago and our priests are so so thankful for this support and and feel it really has helped them. But obviously one doesn’t have to belong to this ministry to pray for priests in this way but just a plea for people to pray and make sacrifices and/or pray a holy hour for your priest and all those in religious life. There are too many people who do not think those in the priesthood and religious life do not need our prayers. I was one of them several years ago. It has been such an honor for me to be a member of the Seven Sisters Apostolate and to be able to do this for our priest. God Bless all who reads this.❤️
This video is amazing
Oh I loved this video, fab look into your day!
Thank you for this insight into what it can be like to be a Catholic priest. Prayers for you and more men to hear and respond to the call of Our Lord Jesus.
This is so helpful. Thank you and God bless you.
God bless all the priests🤗☺
I've always wanted to be a priest I'm 18 Years old age and I'm confused because at this age you experience many things at this age and there are many things holding me back but when I watch these types of videos they inspire me more to enter the priesthood
This guy is awesome. Love you dude
God Bless Father, keep up the good work.
Praying for all the priests right now in The Catholic Church and people that are considering to becoming priests .
McGannahan Skjellyfetti God loves you even though you have hate towards others I see that as misunderstanding peace and love . God bless .
McGannahan Skjellyfetti peace be with you .
Really it is a blessing to be a priest! I was a capuchin brother back in 2016 then I left due to family situation. But still I have spark to become but it isn't possible now!
that priest is handsome but the most beautiful part about him is he is fulfilling Gods Call on his life
