My Advice to Young Priests: Follow Your Gifts

  • Friends, in accepting Holy Orders at a presbyteral ordination, a priest promises to conform his life to Christ, our high priest. And just as Christ took, blessed, broke, and gave away himself in the Eucharist, so too does he take, bless, break, and give away his priests to minister to his people.

    What is most important and astounding is not so much how enthralled we are by Bishop’s words, but how the clergy around him are hanging on every word. Play this video again and see how taken they are. Please Lord be merciful when it is his time to be broken.

      His words are as of one who has been broken. If you have not grasp this in the time you have seen his videos, you may not have heard him.
      He is truly a blessing for the Church in USA.

    For the new priests being ordained! And for all vocations! For the pope and the church, for Bishop Barron and all callings to all the sacraments! For the most needed! 🙏🏻🔥For all the Emaus brothers and sisters in the US and the world that constantly help at the retreats and their local parishes!

    This message is counter-cultural, and I wouldn't expect anything less from Bishop Barron. If only all our schools, colleges, and universities would send their young into the world with this powerful message, instead of 'follow your dreams; which we know so often leads to self-obsession, depression and disappointment...and a fractured, individualistic society. Thank God for Bishop Barron and his ministry.

    Blessed to attend this incredible celebration. Unfortunately it was difficult to focus on the homily because my baby decided she wanted to give a homily too (you can hear her at 5:38 and other various times). Thank you for uploading this so I could return and listen again to this powerful message. I think much of what is said is true for all vocations. Inspiring for us all. Praise God for these holy priests. May He bless them and protect them!

May the Lord bless all these young priests and may God bless you Bishop Barron for being such an inspiration and role model to all. Amen

God bless

What a blessing to be in their presence and to know that men are hearing and accepting the call. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

  • @jsam1997
    @jsam1997 Місяць тому

    Catholicism is work salvation, please turn to Christ in faith as the Bible clearly says we are saved by grace which translates to CHARIS meaning "unmeritted favor/free gift." quite literally. There is a Reason why Paul says in Romans "for the wages of sin is death, but the FREE gift of God is eternal life through christ Jesus our lord." Again grace's literal translation in the Greek is "unmeritted favor/free gift." Salvation is completely free all you have to do is believe that what Jesus did for you 2000 years ago actually worked. He died as a substitute for sin on the cross for you and me because the penalty for sin is death, if the penalty has already been paid and "by grace you have saved through faith" then all you are doing is believing that his payment was for you, a.k.a excepting it and believing you have eternal life as a result of his finished work (and of course believing he rose from the dead as a dead savior can't save you.) The reason you cannot add a work to Christ's finished work is because as Paul makes clear in Romans 11:6 "And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work." You aren't under grace if you add something to the gospel because grace must be unmeritted for it to be attributed to you. Again, you are just trusting in what Christ already did for you, that's why in ephesians Paul says "after you believed, you were sealed with that holy spirit of promise, which is the GUARANTEE of our inherentance until the redemption of the purchased possession." Paul can't use the word guarantee here if salvation is partially based off of something you do, as obviously YOU can fail in your efforts meaning there is obviously no guarantee. But if it is entirely based off of what Christ did, then there is a guarantee.
