Dear Father, I'm from India and the situation is terrible and words are insufficient to express it. So glad to find this video today and I'm feeling much at peace right now. Always keep remembering us in your prayers. Thank you Father.
@@FatherDavidMichael praying for Vocations. My son 16 yrs old he us discerning now. Pls pray for him Father David Michael. Your Vocation story is inspiring. We will keep you in our prayer 🙏 ♥ Take care. Hope to visit and meet you one day. God's will.
When I was a little girl, my brother Chris died at the dentist office, while he was in the Seminary to become a priest. Thank you for sharing your story. This touched my heart is such a supernatural manner and I could feel Chris's presence. Thank you
Father I am from India. Yes, you need to be called for priest.My son is willing to become a priest and he is 12 years now.if he is called by God and I am very happy.kindly pray for him.His name Jack Mario. Our prayers for you and all our catholic priests
Dear Fr. Michael David, thank for saying yes to God! We need holy spirit filled priests like you! From Canada, I and my St. Maria Goretti Parish family pray for all priests during our family Rosary! May Glod always bless and keep you from all dangers body and soul!
I really wanted to be a Priest. I even went through formation to be a professed Capuchin Franciscan. I never had thr support I needed to keep going and foster me through my fears. I left and got married instead. Yes, I have a great family and amazing kids that God has blessed us with but I know I was made for something different. If you're discerning, pray and definitely surround yourself with people who will support you even in the doubts! Now that I'm here in Houston I'm discerning the permanent Diaconate. I'm praying for you Father, please pray for me.
Me too... but later i did realise that Call was not for me.... and then walked away from seminary and today im married. But i never speak bad of priests... because its difficult to leave everything for His sake.... and live a life of chastity.
Dear Gift: As a young girl I felt called to religious life, but as an only child, felt much guilt about leaving my parents, not having grandchildren, etc. I did marry and have children which gave my parents much joy. However the feeling of wanting something ‘more spiritually never leaves you. Be happy that there is a Diaconate that you can aspire to. It is not there for women! PLEASE continue to pursue it. We need you DESPERATELY! You will not regret it. God bless you!🙏
For the love of all that's sane: DON'T TELL YOUR WIFE THAT. My husband discerned out of seminary before we met, I'd be really upset if he told me something similar.
I heard that homily in person--so very moving. And realized again “priests don't just happen...” Indeed their continued growth in holiness isn’t assured. They absolutely need our prayers And our example and support as much as we need theirs. God bless you, Father David Michael! Prayers always!
Hello Father, you are real because you faced with temptations of whether you are meant for the priesthood or not. They say life is not a bed of roses! But in the end you triumphed! Your story is inspiring for others with such vocation. God bless you and may He Strengthen you spiritually!
Thank you and bless you for your priesthood and testimony. As a mom of boys, I hope and pray one of my sons is gifted the vocation of the Holy Priesthood.
@@chrisobrien6254 Sorry, what? You are Jesus?? Without a doubt, that is the most ridiculous and narcissistic thing that I have ever read. Why don't you just accept that not everyone believes in the same things as yourself? Celibacy wasn't something that I could live with. I'd have been a hypocrite otherwise.
Hello father, I am very much impressed by your story about your journey to priesthood. I am religious sister from India but working among the Indigenous Lakota community in Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. I want to share your life story with my students.
Amen Fr David M. Moses! I try and pray daily for all priests because of the devil' evil target to you all. Bless you for giving to us laity the body and the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Been a Catholic now for a year+, and still tear up as the Holy Sacrament is prepared. God bless you!
Thank you Father David Michael, I do thank God for your vocation. You and Father Dat inspire me and help me to keep walking trying to do God's Will. We are blessed to have you in Saint Faustina, thank you, thank you, thank you for all you do. God Bless you always!
God Bless you Father. Praying for holy priests to say yes to the call for vocations...Hail Mary full of grace, bring them into the fold and protect them from the evil one.
Praying for vocations on a daily basis. That was a beautiful recounting of your personal calling to God. Thank you for sharing it with us. God bless you Father.
Praise God!!! Dear God thank you for this beautiful example!!! I pray that more men are drawn to become priest or serve your people through their vocation!
So inspiring father. I have a son studying to be a lawyer. I got connected so much with your story. So inspiring i pray the rosary everyday for all you wonderful priests you make our lives worth living by unfolding god's plan for us Please keep my son in your prayers. May the lord use him as his instrument for his glory. Love from india.
Wanted to say something more.. seriously stories like these help me persevere in my vocation as well. I really feel called to pray and sacrifice for priests in Carmel, and was accepted to enter, but have one more obstacle to overcome, if you can offer a prayer for me, thank you!!
Hi Father! I really enjoy watching all of your videos. They are very entertaining and very inspiring. I found this video to be very relatable because I'm currently applying to the archdiocese of Seattle because I feel that God is calling me to the priesthood. I'm still unsure of what my vocation is because I still want to get married but I trust that God will guide me in the right direction. I would have never thought I would be applying to the seminary but here I am. Please keep me in your prayers and keep up the great videos! God Bless! 🙏🙏🙏
Choose which you want to be?you can still serve God if your married!just be sure about your feeling!Pray with all your heart and ask God in your prayer to guide you!Amen
@@jasmindumalay2002 Thank you! My parents told me the same. I'm in my second semester of seminary now and I love it! It's challenging, of course, but in a good way. Not only do I feel closer to God but with other people as well. God Bless. ☺☺☺
Father your videos are very inspiring and soul touching. I have sense the call of God upon my life and I have written application letters countless times but my diocese system of offering admission is making it complicated for me. As it is now, there's nothing I desire to do in this life like going to the seminary but I don't know what would take me there. How I wish I should be taken out of Nigeria May be the process will be easy for me.
Father, thank you for sharing your vocation story. I am finishing up the application process to go to St. Paul’s Seminary in Minneapolis. It seems like a sense of adventure is consistent with stories of discernment, seminary, and life as a priest. I am excited to see how my story unfolds! Videos like those on your channel are encouraging as I think how my gifts could be utilized for God and His people (I also love making songs, playing guitar, and making videos from time to time). If it is God’s will I look forward to experiencing the joy of life as a priest. Please say a prayer for me if you would! God bless! -Anthony from the Diocese of Helena, MT
Sharing the same experience during my retreat last year! Now, I just finished 1 semester of being a seminarian of Augustinian Recollects! Godbless father Moses!
Priests are physicians of the soul. They tend to the spiritually sick or distraught. Just as the body experiences ailments and physical challenges through a lifetime, so will a person’s soul encounter spiritual illnesses and religious challenges. We need physicians of the soul for the well-being of our souls destined for eternal life. Father Michael, your homily touched my heart 😭
Fantastic comment! I'm a woman and cannot be a priest but I am desperately attracted to "sick souls," having been a sick soul so long myself! And ministering to hurting people just with attention and kindness and walking with them through their troubles makes me feel so energized and fulfilled❣️ Bless GOD for all these wonderful men He calls to The Ordained Priesthood to minister to us wounded souls in this life and praying for more vocations🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️💖💖💖
Hi Father! Acabo de encontrar su canal y me parece genial. Verdaderamente está evangelizando a través de estos medios. Bien hecho! Gracias por decir "Sí" al Señor.
God bless you Father that was an amazing homily. What really touched my heart was when you described how you felt God the Father entrusted you to take care of His flock knowing those words came from God Himself, they really pierced through my heart. I pray you for God's continuous blessings upon you and your flock and your wellbeing, Amen. God bless you Father. Amen.
Dear Father, As I aspire to the Diaconate, this "Asking God for a sign" is real. He connected me to a homeless shelter and taught me hands on how to help those who are experiencing homelessness (not once but twice). In short, saying yes is scary, but resisting only affirms more this conviction in my spirit. I can't explain it, other than God use me! This video affirms I am on the right track! Godspeed, and thank you for sharing. Brother in Christ Jesus, Kyle
Father since evening I have been cried as i saw a video about married catholic priest.i am disappointed,i am a girl,i have everything still I have sacrifice the most tempted thing of this world because I love my JESUS very much.i am praying more and more vocation for priesthood.as i am crying long i hope LORD showed me your testimony.I am very happy and peaceful in heart and i hope all those who are in vocation but still want to live worldly life must watch your testimony.Thank you very much father for sacrificing your life for my LORD JESUS 🙏. Thank you.God bless you abundantly father 🙏,may JESUS use u in a mighty way for THE GREAT GLORY of my KING JESUS 🙏
Great homily Father David Michael. We are grateful to be parishioners at St. Faustina where we have the 2 best priests. For all the young men / women that are thinking about discerning, I encourage you to go have a discussion with your priest at your parish or make a call to your favorite priest. My daughter made an appointment with Fr David Michael and really enjoyed their talk. I'm encouraging her to reach out to other priests, seminarians or religious sisters also.
Derry? Isn't that where Sister Claire Crockett was from? You have your very own Saint❣️ (well still in process, but I believe she is in God's eyes and in the eyes of many who love her life story) Sr. Claire Crockett pray for us🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️💖💖💖
Prayer is the most powerful thing in the world. Last year was tough when my whole family got covid-19 and it was prayers that save us. Thank you father for sharing how prayers changed your life. I hope one day you can upload a video praying the rosary 😊.. May God bless us all! 🙏 prayers from the Philippines.
From the book "To Save a Thousand Souls" by fr Brett Brannen Who Will You Bring With You Into Heaven? I once heard a priest tell his vocation story. I grew up in a very close, devout Catholic family with loving parents and we prayed together as a family every day. I attended a Catholic school with wonderful teaching Sisters and everything in my life revolved around the Church. I lived in a very Catholic culture. I was the number one altar server, the star student, and a leader in my class. Because of this, and the fact that I loved being around the parish, serving and helping out the priests, everyone would say the same thing, “You will be a priest when you grow up. Won’t you?” I heard this constantly from the other kids in my class, from the sisters who taught me, and from the two assistant priests, who were always visiting the classes and interacting with me around the church. But I never heard it from the pastor, which I appreciated. I got tired of people urging the priesthood on me, because I did not especially want to become a priest. I always wondered why the pastor, an elderly Monsignor, never asked me about priesthood as everyone else did, though he was always very kind to the altar servers. One day, as I was coming close to graduation from the parish school, I was assigned to serve the seven o’clock morning Mass and the elderly pastor was the celebrant. Only the two of us were in the sacristy and he vested in silence, mumbling the vesting prayers in Latin and preparing himself for Holy Mass. With just two minutes to go before the Mass began, the Monsignor suddenly turned and said, “John, what will you be doing when you grow up?” I thought to myself, “Oh boy, here it comes. Even from Monsignor.” But I replied, “Monsignor, I am still not certain but I am thinking about going into medicine. I would like to become a doctor.” And the pastor replied, “Good. Good. And what will you do after that?” I said, “Well, I suppose I will marry and have a family of my own.” The priest said, “Good, and what after that?” Not sure exactly where he was going with this line of questioning, I replied, “I guess I will grow old, practicing medicine, and eventually retire. And then I guess I will die and go to heaven.” The pastor nodded his head knowingly, thoughtfully, and he was quiet for a few seconds. Then he looked at me earnestly and said, “And who will you bring with you into heaven?” Immediately, he rang the sacristy bell and we walked out to begin the Mass. I thought to myself, “How clever you are, Monsignor. How clever you are.” I thought about that comment all during the Mass and many more times during my adolescent and young adult years. “And who will you bring with you into heaven?” It was asking myself that question repeatedly that really turned the tide and convinced me eventually that I should become a priest. Every vocation is about helping other people reach heaven. I tell this story not to minimize the greatness of the sacrament of marriage, because marriage serves the same purpose! I suppose the young man might have used the same comment made by the pastor to move him towards the vocation of marriage. But the story illustrates the critical point that a vocation is not primarily about self-fulfillment, but about being the instrument of God in saving others. “What will you do with your life? What are your plans? Have you ever thought of committing your existence totally to Christ? Do you think that there can be anything greater than to bring Jesus to people and people to Jesus?”17 Pope John Paul II
Thanks! fr, for being a good priest and a good human being for self and all Catholics and non Catholics (if it comes to you to be with non Catholics as a priest.) Please pray for me Helen Mary ALvares Castelino and my whole family.
I thank you so much i needed this this i what im called to become but i was foolish and fighted with the Lord but because i forgot about what Micaiah said about the lost sheep and the Lord saying there was no master for them. I am a fool but thanks sir I believe Jesus Touched youre heart blessed be the Lord Jesus Christ.

Because of this, and the fact that I loved being around the parish, serving and helping out the priests, everyone would say the same thing, “You will be a priest when you grow up. Won’t you?” I heard this constantly from the other kids in my class, from the sisters who taught me, and from the two assistant priests, who were always visiting the classes and interacting with me around the church. But I never heard it from the pastor, which I appreciated. I got tired of people urging the priesthood on me, because I did not especially want to become a priest. I always wondered why the pastor, an elderly Monsignor, never asked me about priesthood as everyone else did, though he was always very kind to the altar servers. One day, as I was coming close to graduation from the parish school, I was assigned to serve the seven o’clock morning Mass and the elderly pastor was the celebrant. Only the two of us were in the sacristy and he vested in silence, mumbling the vesting prayers in Latin and preparing himself for Holy Mass. With just two minutes to go before the Mass began, the Monsignor suddenly turned and said, “John, what will you be doing when you grow up?” I thought to myself, “Oh boy, here it comes. Even from Monsignor.” But I replied, “Monsignor, I am still not certain but I am thinking about going into medicine. I would like to become a doctor.” And the pastor replied, “Good. Good. And what will you do after that?” I said, “Well, I suppose I will marry and have a family of my own.” The priest said, “Good, and what after that?” Not sure exactly where he was going with this line of questioning, I replied, “I guess I will grow old, practicing medicine, and eventually retire. And then I guess I will die and go to heaven.” The pastor nodded his head knowingly, thoughtfully, and he was quiet for a few seconds. Then he looked at me earnestly and said, “And who will you bring with you into heaven?” Immediately, he rang the sacristy bell and we walked out to begin the Mass. I thought to myself, “How clever you are, Monsignor. How clever you are.” I thought about that comment all during the Mass and many more times during my adolescent and young adult years. “And who will you bring with you into heaven?” It was asking myself that question repeatedly that really turned the tide and convinced me eventually that I should become a priest. Every vocation is about helping other people reach heaven. I tell this story not to minimize the greatness of the sacrament of marriage, because marriage serves the same purpose! I suppose the young man might have used the same comment made by the pastor to move him towards the vocation of marriage. But the story illustrates the critical point that a vocation is not primarily about self-fulfillment, but about being the instrument of God in saving others. “What will you do with your life? What are your plans? Have you ever thought of committing your existence totally to Christ? Do you think that there can be anything greater than to bring Jesus to people and people to Jesus?”17 Pope John Paul II

If you could, please pray the rosary for the catholic church in germany at the 8th at 12 o'clock in the noon MEZ. Many German bishops become apostate.
I am somewhere in Africa but honestly, the Church in Germany sometimes scares. But we are together with you. I keep Germany in my prayers
