    Great story of prayer, reflection, success, and discernment. God calls all of us to know and follow him. Thank you to the KCs for producing this video.

    I'm 16 years old and I am going through the same situation as him. I was thriving to go for Film and Television industry for 2 years then to be a professional wrestler but I gave that up for the final call. God has been using my Nana for years, she would always say I'm gonna be a priest. Even my other family members. I denied because I hated to be one. But I now accept it. God Bless You All.

      I had wanted to be a Priest since I was young, but wanted a wife and family, so was a nurse but didn’t like all the politics, now I’m a Chaplain, and it is the best vocation in the world!!!

    I had the honor to meet this man. He used to volunteer to do mass In Illinois prisons. He’s hands down the most understanding and open minded priest ive met. The Catholic Church needs more priest like him. I’ve heard him use science in his ceremony’s, something that’s unheard of in the Catholic Church. God bless this man.

I’m thankful for all you did for our club and I’m pretty happy for the way you took, God bless you! And I wish you the best, greetings from Chillán, Chile!

    A vital comment for me: Fr said he continued to experience a lack of peace in the midst of the greatest happiness he had experienced. How often do we chase happiness and find it fleeting? Happiness does not always equal peace.

    It is hard to give up something you love and have done for your entire life. Yet I don't think all those practices, games and tournaments were for nothing. I had genuine fun in the sport I loved growing up with friends. I thank God is calling me to a vocation. To love others outside the lines and bleachers of the field.

      I've talked to a parish priest (my college chaplain) - hmm... having received regular spiritual directions for around nine months, he said I seemed to have a Vocation and (according to him) the signs are obvious - but in the past month I don't 'feel' any sentiment nor 'calling' (although I'm willing to follow Jesus IF HE EXPLICITLY tells me to do so some point in my life)... pray for me! Especially when I'm too occupied with my hectic study

    You never know if the person next to you will ever become a priest, nun, or someone special to minister the word of God. You never know if the person sitting next you, you will either marry or they will become someone famous. You may not talk to that person because they are ugly, not special to you, but they may be famous. Something special. I heard God is funny and mysterious.

      We've all been there trust me. The Lord just asks you to surrender evem the most dangerous and darkest of thoughts to Him. Trust in His Mercy. As a fellow brother, believe it when He says that are redeemed through Him. Read 2nd Corinthians 12 verse 9. It brings me a lot of strength and I hope it will give you some as well.
      Through Christ,
