- Our world needs the Catholic Priesthood because it needs the love of Jesus Christ.
Please watch and share our new vocations video exploring the gift of the priesthood through the words of St. John Vianney, patron saint of parish priests, and featuring priests from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
St. John Vianney, pray for us!

Thank you for inspiring us. This presentation personally touched me.
O Lord, heal me now, make me a worker in your vineyard.
Happy to be a seminarian hoping to become a priest one day
I’m not Catholic or even remotely close to Milwaukee, but this was one fire 🔥 video
I love the feel good vibes of this short video :D
This made me feel emotional ❤️
At the point of elevation, that is Christ we are looking at (& yes, some can clearly see Him). That point alone hits me every single Mass, to know He loves us and is present with us in the Holy Sacrament to partake of the most precious item the world can give us... correction - God gives to us.
It is the life of the Church and the purpose of the Mass
Nice 👍👍 Keep going 👍 May your Channel grow faster than ever before ☺️🙏🏻🙏🏻
what a beautiful gift from God to us.
❣️from INDIA..
Very inspiring video. Proud to be a catholic. I would like to ask your permission pls. Can I use the audio of this video for my slide presentation? Thank you
A priest' sole job is to bring back to God as many souls as is possible. That is a lot of weight upon their shoulders... pray for them. At 2:27, I feel that baby just saw Jesus... the young ones I've been told can see Him due to their connection still with Heaven.
what a beautiful video. can i use some parts of this video for another video that i wish to make ?
Hi! I wanted to ask your permission to use some visuals from this video for our upcoming song promoting vocation to Catholic Priesthood. Thank you. God bless!
Brilliant ❤
discerning for the Camillians
Excellent video
Good 😊
It is the most terrible tragedy of the entire Church, all over the world, by all of the Christians; that all of the parishioners, don't say Mass for themselves and families and clergy.
I'm not ordained by human hands, but trust me in this, I'm Very Very Very Ordained.
I taught two protestants how to say Mass in minutes. I told them that I would prove to them that this works, and at 12 PM tomorrow, they would feel a buzzing sensation going through them. "That will be God going through them as I say Mass for them at 12PM," I told them.
Exact at 11:55 AM the next day, I felt a buzzing sensation going through my body, like someone was saying Mass for me.
They were just believing protestants and unordained, uneducated, and believers in Jesus, Our Lord and Savior. That is all, One male and One female.
About 12 years ago, I said Mass for myself, and asked God to give me the knowledge of the future. About 9 years ago, I looked right into the future to see Obama win his election by 281 electoral college votes, "three days," before the voting took place.
I immediately spread it all over Twitter and sent tweets off to Nancy Pelosi, MSNBC News, Kelly O'Donnell, Obama about seeing the final vote of 281; and the tweets are still on Twitter under Gary James Shields, on that time line spoken about above.
TRUST ME ON THIS ONE.
You could have all of the Parishes, all over the planet, praying for you both to live another hundred years with age regressing body's. You could have some praying for you to have Angels with you to talk to, Healing Powers, the Ability to Walk in the Water, To be bullet proof, to be invisible whenever your need to be, to be able to levitate and fly, A N Y T H I N G ! ! !
500,000,000 Masses all said on the same day for you two; and you would have snapped your fingers and things would have been done for you.
There is still time. Time is of the Essence ! ! ! DON'T IGNORE ME ! I Speak from Experience, Verily.
Ask me what to ask God to give to you and I will instantly pray and say Mass for you to receive it. Reply to me in this comment section, and I will do it for you.
Faith is, replying to this message and telling me what you would want.
The rest is up to me and God.
Those who call upon the Name of the Lord, shall not be disappointed.

What actually is a priest? According to the teachings of the Catholic Church, a priest is a kind of "mediator" between God and man. It is true that officially Christ is said to be the "mediator". But practically all essential religious acts in the Catholic Church go only through the priest. The priesthood of the official priests is conferred by bishops through their own so-called sacrament (= sign act; or from church Latin "sacramentum" = alleged sign of salvation, means of salvation, way of salvation). This sacrament of the priest ordination distinguishes the priests allegedly due to an anointing of the "holy spirit" with a special stamping mark and puts them in this way equal to the "priest Christ". This is what the Catholic Church claims. Jesus, however, did not teach all this. So to drag him into this is a lie.
Also the words "Priest Christ" could make everyone sit up and take notice, because: Jesus of Nazareth was not a priest! He was a man of the people, a carpenter by profession. And a friend of the priests He was not either. For in His prophecies, handed down in the Bible, we read, among other things, the following: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!" The "priestly caste" of that time, to which one can count the "scribes and Pharisees", the high priests, temple priests as well as all cult administrators of that time, were His opponents, who slandered Him and demanded His martyrdom on the cross. So: Jesus was certainly not a friend of the priests or even a priest himself.
And what about today's "priestly caste", the priests, pastors, ministers and theologians of the Church institutions, where Jesus still hangs on the cross and must remain silent while the priests speak out? They have appropriated Jesus, the Christ, as one of their own.
Completely wrongly. Only in the letter to the Hebrews of the Bible, whose author is unknown until today, Jesus is defined afterwards as the alleged "high priest" by an unknown author with reference to the Old Testament - an interpretation which was only put on Jesus, which is out of the frame and has not much to do with the reality. Besides, if this were true, why did Jesus not explain it himself?
In common dictionaries some characteristics of priests are listed. There it says, for example, a priest is a "bearer" of special religious charisma, appointed by "ordination", often living separately, a "leader" of worship, sacrifice and prayer, and even a "guardian" of the "sanctuary". One finds many strange terms in the definitions of priests.
But what does the ministry of a priest consist of?
The service of the Catholic priest consists mainly in the fact that he should offer again on the altar with his own hands in the celebration of the so-called Eucharist, that is, in the Lord's Supper, the sacrifice which Jesus had offered according to the ideas of the Church, in an unbloody and sacramental way. This is the main purpose of the priest's ministry. And in it it supposedly finds its "completion". This is what the Catholic Church teaches.
In the Council of Trent in 1563, the Church formulated this Catholic teaching in a new and binding way.
It reads, "Since, therefore, in the New Covenant the Catholic Church, after the institution of the Lord, received the holy Eucharist as a visible sacrifice, it must also be confessed that in it there is a new, visible external priesthood, in which the old priesthood was abolished and completed." (quoted in Neuner/Roos, The Faith of the Church, Doctrinal Statement No. 706)
From the church's point of view, people of other faiths are subsequently "infallibly" cursed and thus banished to an allegedly eternal damnation after their death - a fate that cannot be thought worse at all, which is why this church doctrine is thus propagated with massive intimidation. And so it goes on to say:
"Whoever says that ordination, i.e., the sacred act of consecration [to the priesthood], is not a true and proper sacrament instituted by Christ the Lord, but a human workmanship, ... let him be excluded" [literally: "anathema sit" = let him be cursed]. (quoted from Neuner/Roos, The Faith of the Church, Doctrine No. 714).
Jesus, however, showed us a loving God to whom the supposed "sacrifices" of humans shedding the blood of animals are an abomination, as were all true prophets of God before and after Him. He cleansed the temple of the sale of sacrificial animals and money changers. This is also what is written in the Pope's Bible. Never did He appoint even one priest, not even at His farewell dinner with His disciples, as the Church falsely claims. And Jesus, the Christ, taught us further that every human being, that is, every one of us, is this temple of God, and that the powerful Spirit of infinity, the all-wise God, dwells in us, in every soul. As a result, God is much closer to us than a priest, closer than our arms and legs. God is present in us. But why priests then?

@@SonicSnakeRecords we don’t know if a Jesus even said such words. The Bible claims many things.
@@Tessinentdecken What don't we know exactly?
You said, "we don't even know Jesus said such things."
That's a dismissive coward co-opt.
When linguistic experts compared the old scrolls with the new scrolls, there was word-for-word accuracy of +/-95% after more than 1,000 years of transmission. That makes a strong case that the Bible we have today is indeed the Bible as it was in its original form.
The burden of proof is always on the person making an assertion or proposition.
Explain what words you are referring to exactly that you claim He didn't say that have actually been documented as Him having said them. Please provide support your claims.
Insisting Jesus didn't institute the sacrament of holy orders at the Last Supper when He commissioned His apostles by saying, “Do this in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19) and being unable to prove otherwise is to bear false witness.
It has been documented in the rest of the New Testament, where we can see the pattern of passing down this authority and responsibility.
Some of the passages that relate to holy orders include Acts 6:3-6; 13:2-3; and 1 Timothy 3:1; 3:8-9; 4:16; 5:17-19; 5:22.
"Thou shalt not bear false witness” is one of the Commandments.
So the burden of proof is on you.
Please support your argument.
Or is it just easier to be a coward and bear false witness?

Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!’

Good video but no communion in the hand please!
The Holy See has made it abundantly clear that both manners of reception of Communion - on the tongue and in the hand - are permitted, that Communion should be received reverently, and that the manner of reception should not become an occasion of division in the church. Pray Tell here documents two statements of the Congregation for Divine Worship issued under Pope Paul VI.
A Baptized Catholic, in a state of grace at Communion may receive the Host on the tongue or hands.
Cmon. Just enjoy the video as it is. What are you trying to accomplish with this statement?
If you have serious concerns, talk to your priest and your bishop. Don’t bring it to the com box- that doesn’t help the situation.
Talk to people who can actually do something about it.
A priest is someone who goes to school to learn how to forgive sins and command
JESUS to come down from heaven into a little flour wafer.
AlsoA large majority of priests in the Vatican are gay, although many are not sexually active, a new book claims.
A total of about 80 percent of the most revered clerics in the Roman Catholic Church are homosexual despite the church’s opposition to gay rights, according to the extensively researched book by French journalist Frédéric Martel.
The gay priests adhere to an unspoken code called “the closet,” where it is understood that, for instance, a cardinal or bishop who denounces homosexuality is more likely to be gay, according to the book “In the Closet of the Vatican.”
Another controversial claim in the book is that Colombian Cardinal Alfonso López Trujillo defended the church’s positions on homosexuality while hiring male prostitutes, according to The Guardian.

Remember if you don't sin a little bit Jesus died for nothing
A popular “clever” response to Christianity on social media is to say, “If you don’t sin, then Jesus died for nothing.” The joke is as clever as it is new, which is to say, not particularly-Ricky Gervais, creator of the British version of The Office, was using it back in April of 2014. And like the American adaptation of Gervais’s show, it’s not funny enough to warrant eight years of recycled humor.
Long before this was a clever “gotcha,” it was a serious theological objection that did a tremendous amount of damage. Grigori Rasputin, the “mad monk” (or “holy devil”) who was a spiritual guide to Russian tsar Nicholas II’s family, used a version of it to seduce women more than a century ago. As Robert Massie explains, Rasputin offered his own “personal doctrine of redemption: salvation is impossible unless one has been redeemed from sin, and true redemption cannot be achieved unless sin has been committed. In himself, Rasputin offered all three: sin, redemption, and salvation.”
Rasputin didn’t originate this misunderstanding of the gospel, either. As far back as the first century, we find St. Paul answering a version of it in his epistle to the Romans: “What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!” (6:15). If that wasn’t clear enough, he also says of those who ask, “Why not do evil that good may come?” that “their condemnation is just” (3:8).
Given that this is a grave misunderstanding, just what is it that it gets wrong about Christianity?
For one thing, it gets the nature of sin wrong. God doesn’t-and can’t-desire (or demand) that we sin. Now, St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine are clear that God permits sin: “Since God is the highest good, he would not allow any evil to exist in his works, unless his omnipotence and goodness were such as to bring good even out of evil.” But he can’t will it, in the sense of desiring it or ordering it. After all, all sin involves “disobedience toward God and lack of trust in his goodness” (CCC 397) and is “an offense against God” (CCC 1871). It’s logically impossible for God to will sin, in the sense of ordering us to disobey him. To say God wills sin is akin to saying he demands to be disobeyed. That’s not just immoral; it’s an incoherent mess.
The idea also underestimates our own sinfulness. We have sinned, we do sin, and we stand in need of a savior. As St. Paul laments, “I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do” (Rom. 7:19), and even the “righteous man falls seven times, and rises again” (Prov. 24:16). So even if you did need to sin for Jesus’ death to be worth something, you’ve already checked that off the to-do list innumerable times.
Finally, the idea that “if you don’t sin, then Jesus died for nothing” gets the cross wrong. There’s an interesting (and hotly debated) question among theologians: If Adam and Eve had never sinned, would Christ still have become incarnate? Admitting that “there are different opinions about this question,” Aquinas argues no, Christ wouldn’t have, since the Incarnation is a response to the Fall. He quotes a scriptural commentary that “there was no cause of Christ’s coming into the world, except to save sinners. Take away diseases, take away wounds, and there is no need of medicine.”
But Blessed John Duns Scotus and others argue that yes, God the Son still would have become incarnate even if Adam (and even Satan!) had never sinned. As Pope Benedict XVI explains, Scotus’s position is that “the Incarnation is the greatest and most beautiful work of the entire history of salvation,” and so “it is not conditioned by any contingent fact but is God’s original idea of ultimately uniting with himself the whole of creation, in the person and flesh of the Son.” In other words, while “the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10), this isn’t the only reason that Christ came.
Whether you side with Aquinas or Scotus, one thing is certainly true: the cross is about a lot more than “only” forgiving sins. And here, those two great thinkers agree. Aquinas says that “many other things besides deliverance from sin” were accomplished in Christ’s death on the cross, and he lists five. First, the cross is a sign whereby man knows “how much God loves him, and is thereby stirred to love him in return.” Second, it gives us a perfect example of “obedience, humility, constancy, justice, and the other virtues displayed in the Passion.” Third, “because Christ by his passion not only delivered man from sin, but also merited justifying grace for him and the glory of bliss.” Fourth, to deter us from sin, as St. Paul says: “You were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body” (1 Cor. 6:20). And finally, because it “redounded to man’s greater dignity.” That is, it was through man that sin entered the world. But instead of scrapping mankind as a bad idea, God redeems us through a man, Jesus Christ. So Christ’s incarnation and cross serve as a vindication of the human species.
All of this is to say that although Christ may or may not have come into the world but for sin, and although one of the aims of the Incarnation and the cross is the forgiveness of sin, the mission of Jesus Christ (including his death on the cross) is about even more than this. His goal was (and is) that we should “become partakers of the divine nature” (2 Pet. 1:4), and in the words of St. Irenaeus, “the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God” (quoted in CCC 460). Those who sinned greatly, like St. Peter and St. Mary Magdalene, know the depths of God’s mercy in a special way (see Luke 7:47). But those who didn’t, like the Virgin Mary, still receive the full benefits of this divine plan.

As a result, God is much closer to us than a priest, closer than our arms and legs. God is present in us. But why priests then?

“God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him” - John 3:16-17.
God loves us and as a result, He sent His Son, Jesus, to make atonement for our sins so we could spend eternity with God in heaven.
Catholicism recognizes that people in other religions may be in good conscience with respect to God, who will honor that fact.
However, I warn muslims not to judge Christianity by what they have been told.
Many muslims have heard erroneous stories about Christianity, some of which go back centuries.
The Christians that Mohammed was in contact with tended to be heretics. As a result, muslims should know that frequently their books are not responding to authentic Christianity but to a counterfeit.
I can show the actual Christian teaching.
I am convinced the Catholic Church is true, that it is the Church Jesus founded and I'd be
happy to share the evidence for this.

It is a sin to baptize babies!! Babies are innocent!! It is solemn mockery before God to baptize small children and infants!!! Little children are alive in Jesus Christ!!! Read the new testament!!
That's absolute lie. Holy Scripture sctrictly teaches baby baptism and baptism of infants. Read the Bible
Actually Catholic and Orthodox infants are baptized near birth, and it last them their entire life. Anyone can be baptized at any time.
If infant baptism is not a real Baptism then St. Peter's promise is also not true.
Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you, FOR YOUR CHILDREN, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him.”
Acts 2:38-39 NRSV-CI
The verse above would not be a valid rebuttal to Catholic Baptism because:
1. Mary was Jewish, so at that time of Christ’s dedication and circumcision she is following Mosaic (Jewish) Temple laws.
2. Christ did not institute the sacrament of baptism until he was an adult. So using a passage from Christ’s infancy is incorrect.
But Jesus called them to Him, saying, “Let the children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God” - Luke 18:16
“Thou shalt not bear false witness”
