    Our Father in heaven please give us more priests. So far I have 7 grandsons: Christian, Jeremiah, Nathan, Russell, Adrian, Isaiah, and Ezekiel, that I’m praying at least 1 or 2 or more of them to be a priest someday🙏 Pick your choice, O God... your Will Be Done🙏

    I had the privilege of meeting Fr David when before ordination he worked in Graiguecullen parish here in the extreme Southern corner of Laois. This great video continues his inspiration of God's presence in my life. It is very appropriate that I would chance to find this in the same week that our Parish Priest Fr John Dunphy conducted a very helpful retreat for "Evergreens" (translaiton = auld people) . Catholic Faith is the key to life, thank God and Fr Vard's family for this young priest.

    Fr David is very well spoken. Life as a priest is much different than 30 years ago I hear. Bishops are more conscious of offering support of the individual priests. Diocese priests gather and share support more than in the past. The average catholic look at their priests much differently. They are more supportive and appreciative.

    Isaiah 7
    13Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of humans? Will you try the patience of my God also? 14Therefore the Lord himself will give you c a sign: The virgin d will conceive and give birth to a son, and e will call him Immanuel.
    Micah 5
    Isaiah 22
    15This is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says:
    “Go, say to this steward,
    to Shebna the palace administrator:
    16What are you doing here and who gave you permission
    to cut out a grave for yourself here,
    hewing your grave on the height
    and chiseling your resting place in the rock?
    17“Beware, the Lord is about to take firm hold of you
    and hurl you away, you mighty man.
    18He will roll you up tightly like a ball
    and throw you into a large country.
    There you will die
    and there the chariots you were so proud of
    will become a disgrace to your master’s house.
    19I will depose you from your office,
    and you will be ousted from your position.

But I know personally that Bible teaches " I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me " yes Paul too says I walk looking to Christ not at others this is spiritual journey that we undertake wen we accept Christ we have to give away our human nature and we have to obey God's will not ourselves that's y we have to be in prayer every time asking God n seeking his will in everything I we do it's a different decision not a natural one but a spiritual one seek God n all will follow u
