    Please pray for me, I’m current,y applying for seminary... after my journey back into the Catholic Church. I never thought I would be interested into the priesthood. My aunt kept telling me that she was always praying for me to be a priest. I kept on saying “heck no. Yeah right”. Now I’m here lol

      Boo Duong, I had been praying for priests. Unfortunately, it kind of gotten on the way side and stopped. Recently however, I happened to join an EWTN Holy Rosary prayer and a novena to St John Vianney for an increase in priestly vocation. And so now, I am back into this prayer and petition. I have 4 grandsons and I have been praying for at least one or ALL of them to become holy Priests and my 3 granddaughters to become holy nuns (shhhhh, they don’t know). It’s all in God’s hands🙏🙏🙏. Anyway, Bao Duong, I hope you are now in seminary. I am praying for you. God bless🙏❤️🙏

    I'm not a Catholic I attend a penecostal Church. I know the feeling of a calling not going away God called me into ministry since I was a kid. Living for God is the best life we can live. Good luck to you Fr. Waltz.

    Fr. Waltz, I stumbled upon this video while watching some of Father Robert Barron's videos and all I can say is, "wow". I have felt a very strong pull to the priesthood for a few years now but after watching this, I think I'm ready to make a call to my vocation's Director. Bless you for your priesthood and ministry

    I must have heard this vocation story about 10 times now, I started going to the Dominican Rite in Portland around 6am everymorning since I started listening (1 week ago). My day seems to be lighter of any stress and burden when I receive the Holy Host every morning. Didn't know I have such a thirst for Jesus. Thank you and God bless you father Joshua Waltz.

    Because I do not have any vocation call, I thought I wouldn't even finish listening to his story. But, there was something captivating, amusing and touching part in his story. and I was a really good feeling that there is the same God who guided him that way, He might be leading me on His own way.. whenever I have uncertainty in faith, I love to hear this vocation story. Because he was a normal person before he become a priest, I feel like I can connect to his story. Thank you Fr. Joshua Waltz.

    • @coreybaumy23
      @coreybaumy23 10 років тому +5

      Just to let you know. Every one has a vocation call. It might not be to anything religious, but a vocation is what God wants you to do not just to be a priest.

    • @mirgrande7683
      @mirgrande7683 7 років тому

      That's the sin of clericalism has you even thinking such a thing.
      Like the the priests and religious the only ones have a 'vocation'. Above everyone else. That's bullshit.
      You are called equally and to the same degree to image God - the love of God in the world. Catherine of Sienna said it best, "Become who God means you to be and set the world on fire !" :)

    I absolutely love this video. I am in the process of discernment and discovering my vocation into the religious life and even though this is a vocation story about a Catholic priest it still inspired me. "I'm going to Mass do you wanna come?" cracked me up. God Bless My mother is obsessed with St. Anthony that story cracked me up too.
