What a GOOD shepherd Fr Cristino is! Praying that more priest/shepherds will be as GOOD in teaching TRUTH about our faith. Padre Pio please pray for ALL good shepherds. We need them more than ever. :)🙏🙏🙏
As a beautiful Catholic hymn goes "And humbly I'll receive Thee, the bridegroom of my soul..." Union with God, with Jesus, is the goal of every soul. 🌹🔥
Wow! Father speaks with such Godly wisdom. He also has the gift of communication, and being clear and concise. This whole talk of vocations and the priest being married to the Bride of Christ, the Church. It's easy to see when a priest views his congregation as his "Bride". I also loved the story of his father's wedding band. Father definitely has special parents and family. We are getting to know Father Cristino better. It helps when include his name in my daily prayers for Priests. Thank you both very much for this. 🙏🤲🙏💕💖
I had a friend doing in the priesthood. So many people were surprised that he went in. I told him one day I thought the same person who'd make a good priest should make a good husband father neighbor friend excetera. He actually said would look so happy so you actually you understand you get it and I said of course. I think you're a good person and you would have been good in any of it that's why God wanted you in the priesthood to share with all of us
SAME!! But There are also secular orders one can join. I just learned about this two years ago! Such as the Dominicans or the Franciscans, etc.. you can join them as a married person.. just that you don’t live in a monastery or convent…but you go to the meetings and everything, follow the prayer rules and do events and ministry with them.
Wonderful interview! Mother Natalia and Mother Gabriella said something similar about the want of children and marriage in an interview on Pints with Aquinas.
Fathers are on shortage these days. Priest or worldly. Men with integrity , selfless sacrifice , men who raise up and hold fast the ones they are to care for. Great respect to any man who is a Father . Some cultures have their youth go to seminary very young and then see if the call is real. How can we get a spark if we don’t get close to the fire? Pray for Priest Fathers and family Fathers. They need respect and encouragement prayers. The devils plan is to diminish their authority and role - then the whole family is
Thank you Fr. Christino; you are such a good Shepard to all of us. I enjoy so much the talks you give, and I learn so ice. Thanks be to God for the gift of your Priesthood and to Ken and Janelle for their ministry🙏🙏🙏✝️🙏
Prayers that God's will for your life will become very clear, and it will give you peace. If that is for you to have a husband I pray that he will enter the picture and be the Godly devout Catholic man you desire. God bless you in your discernment. 🙏🤲🙏💕💝
I know all my life I hear the prayers O Lord keep our PRIEST HOLY BLESS THEIR PURPLE LIPS etc etc … Priest should not be touched for sexual reason by anyone. The Priest suppose to be the HOLY ONE… that’s all I was taught and I know about it
I have always wondered when (the year) it was decided that priests must be celibate?? St. Peter was a married man, as well as a couple of other Apostles. I can understand why they decided celibacy, as families are very expensive to provide for.
Before the 11th Century all priests got married in the Catholic Church and because of nepotism within the priesthood they decided priests shouldn’t get married
It made perfect sense to me when he said it and he’s right!! That’s the proper way to look at it!! I got what he was saying. Infact Catholics are the only church that teaches the celibacy thing (which has pros and cons with it honestly). God made ALL of us to marry and have kids and populate the earth this is scripture even from Genesis. I mean our very biological makeup tells us this. It’s just that SOME also have a HIGHER deeper special anointing/calling to step up to lead Gods people and do the work of a priest and give their life fully in every way. No that’s POWERFUL!! As one priest said this same thing and also said it’s married or supernatural life. Whichever way u want to look at it… it’s true. People think that they “won’t like girls” or something weird. no that’s not how it is. Every Male has an attraction to the opposite sex (unless they’re gay ) because that’s normal and that’s what God called us to do.. but you put aside those things and die to yourself and those biological urges to follow Christ in a fuller way and give yourself to him fully. They’re STILL married …Just Basically now instead they’re married to HIM and his church/bride and his children are the parishioners/souls of that parish and he’s called to do that specific work and calling. Simple.
This makes no sense what so ever. It would if the church was just made up of just women. What he fails to understand is the Bride of Christ metaphor is not literal. It is signifying Christ union with all believers. It is a metaphor about submission because women had no rights and were property in the context of marriage during that time. Just like we are to be slaves to Christ. Superstitions like this lead to people making wrong decisions leading to abuse by Priest. Celibacy is a gift from God, not a mandate.
Fr Cristino is so wise. All that he says make sense and is easy to understand. I thank God for a priest like Fr Cristino.
Fr. Cristino - what a wonderful soul he is 😃
What a GOOD shepherd Fr Cristino is! Praying that more priest/shepherds will be as GOOD in teaching TRUTH about our faith. Padre Pio please pray for ALL good shepherds. We need them more than ever. :)🙏🙏🙏
This priest is so wise! I wish we all knew someone like him; you're very fortunate to have such a friend, Ken. Thanks for sharing him with us. :-)

I've never heard that be put into such beautiful words. That a Priest is indeed married to his bride The Church ❤️. God bless you Father Cristino 🙏

“Not in my diocese” I did laugh at that comment, Father. I do so love all your insights🙏. Thank You and God Bless You.
Such wisdom! Thank you, Fr. Cristino for your clear and sound guidance about discerning marriage or religious life.
Wonderful interview!
Mother Natalia and Mother Gabriella said something similar about the want of children and marriage in an interview on Pints with Aquinas.

I break for Fr Christino! So wise and so real. I love your conversations together!
Great answer Father! Marry to God forever forever ❤ ♥ 💖 💓
This video was so enlightening! Thank you Father! I see things differently now about men choosing to be a priest. Thank you for sharing, both of you.
He said it profoundly the type of priest the church is looking for.
May God continue to bless you Fr
Pray for God to bring me my catholic husband guys. Please. thanks.

I know someone who felt in love with the Italian Priest & got married too. So is that the GREATEST SIN ?
❣️🕊❣️
Married priests would go a long way to put an ending to the horrible abuse we see by having a gay clergy. I vote yes.
😊❤👍
priests are married to Christ’s church, and consecrated religious married to Christ, correct?
WHAT?????
If priest can't be celebate. Don't be a priest why bother. They have to give their life to God .

What if Priest gets married and have wife and kids outside the church that‘s sounds so weird - so should not be talking about LGBT either…
Please listen to the message.
@@lisetteTT I think there's some trolls here. 😔
@@kathywiens9852 It does look like that 😆, or that person can not understand what Fr. Cristino just said...
You did not listen to interview, obviously
Join the Episcopalian church. Just leave
He is a priest and doesn't belong to churches test were founded by a rogue catholic priest aka Luther
What even Priest can marry? That’s breaking the Law of the Catholic Church…
Did you listen to the interview. Obviously not
