I can’t believe I never even asked and I still got turned down
story of my life lol
LOL good one!
🤣🤣🤣
Same lol, i aint gay
lol
With a single stroke this man has friend-zoned the entire globe. Let's all contemplate the magnitude of this feat.
friend zoning the entire globe would be an accomplishment of incredible charm and unbelievable charisma. Haha. if you actually had every person in the world have a reason to contemplate, and then find the answer be a friend-zoning, to a single person. rather, he just declared himself to be okay with his commitment to holy orders. which is also, quite an accomplishment.
Agape-zone
@@Quisl 😂 good one
yeah, it's awesome
😂
This is the best "it's not you, it's me." I've ever gotten. Thanks for letting us down easy 🤣
Lol
I was actually a bit sad :(
Lmao. So funny.
Looooooool 😂 amen to this person. 2 years laaaate.
I think George would try to compete with this.....lol
" Be sure to not hit on a Priest, it's weird " 😂😂😂 Father that was simple and the plain truth . The Church needs more like you 🙏✊
The closest I ever came to asking a priest out was when I was 6 or 7 and had a crush on Fr. Ray. I asked him to marry me and he said when I grew up and found the right person, he'd be happy to perform the ceremony. When I told him I wanted to marry him, he told me he was already married to the Church. Can't top the Church. Nicest rejection I ever received. Have a great day Fr. Casey.
I don't want to date you either, Fr Casey. You seem like a cool guy to hang out with though.
Lol
I am 14 and set on going into the priesthood, my peers and sister can not rap their head around me wanting to pursue the priesthood. Me having the mindset of not needing a wife and not needing or wanting to pursue someone is very freeing. (Love the video ❤)
Same
There is a girl with a hurt ego somewhere out there.
I doubt people move on 😂
Having come from Protestantism and seeing all the troubles, hassles, divorces, hurting kids, and pastors who can't seem to do either vocation well enough, I see strong wisdom in priests remaining celibate, especially in Catholicism where priests have many more duties and obligations than protestant pastors.
I agree, but I think it should be an option. I think the idea that celibacy caused the abuses in the church is an over simplification, but it may have been a factor, and marriage is holy too.
@@marvalice3455 this may sound weird, but I wonder if it was sometimes the other way around. I can imagine struggling with unwanted thoughts about minors, feeling immense guilt, and deciding that becoming a priest will help them become a better person, be held accountable, make it up to God, etc. I’m not saying that’s a good motivation. But I can imagine the shame and fear around it would make it harder to tell someone & get help, and drive them to seek an extreme solution.
@@catsmom129 i think that makes more sense actually.
after 11 months, I don't really believe my original comment anymore. lol
AMEN ! Even the Gospels speaks of the wisdom of a celibate presbyter, one could say Matthew 6:24, while the context is on worldly riches vs. God, could be argued as the two vocation - it is wisest to not be divided between the two vocations. The Apostles also established that it should be either not both vocations in Act 6:1-4 !
Having also come from Protestantism I've also grown disillusioned by all the troubles I witnessed.
_also, be sure not to hit on a priest. it happens, and it's weird. we don't want to date you._
Sweetest "it's not you, it's *me*" message ever. You made a beautiful, wonderful, special choice to commit. And that's awesome. I celebrate your choice!! Your calling is obvious. Thank you, from this Episcopalian, for saying yes to God.
Also, you're hysterical.
Fr. Casey what a refreshing reflection! For that young gal who has a "priest crush", she gets understanding, and doesn't feel "stupid". For those of us not called to your life, an understanding of what you do, who you are, and how community and love can mean so many both different and beautiful things. Well done sir!
Monks are like the ultimate anti-simps in a way.
They simp for Jesus
*Monks and friars
Lol
@@Mychron93 lmao
He is a priest and a brother and this is great strength lol
This man is liberated. Truly free with no sexual tension or interest. THAT is freedom.
So, does it make asexuality the purest of all sexualities?
@@icyhugs celibacy is a God given grace...
@@icyhugs naw, marriage was instituted in the garden of Eden
@David Russell really I thought it was over coming ones urges to reach perfect self control...
@David Russell Properly expressed desires CAN be a different matter, of course.
Father Casey you are the exactly what the Church needs today. Thank you and God bless you.
what the church need today
That was well said
He and the older father on breaking the habit really remind me of the father’s at my church. Surprised they don’t have a UA-cam channel
Upon friar review I mean not breaking the Habit
Fr. Casey, you never cease to amaze me! Such a blessing, and a marvelous vocation.

I can understand what he’s saying. When you look at it through his point of view, it makes perfect sense. Sexual tension gets in the way of a priest’s vocation and his purity to Christ. He’s freed himself of these desires and truly wants to serve Christ. What a wonderful priest this man is!
Hi Father, I am a Carmelite brother from India. Now I am doing my Theological studies. your words are truly inspiring, which helped me to think about my vocation. Now I am so happy to be a religious brother. Thank you so much.

For me personally, I always was uninterested in the whole relationship stuff. Now where I'm obese, people always tell me "You just need to lose weight and you'll find a perfect boyfriend". And it's just so frustrating. I do not choose to stay single because of my weight. I chose to stay single, because I simply do not want to be in a relationship. I even had a phase where I thought I was attracted to the same sex. But God helped me figure it out. I'm 32 years old and I haven't thought about dating for the last 15 years. Sometimes, sure. But it's really rare where dating crosses my mind. And I'm happy with my decision. When I say to people that I chose to stay celibate, they respect it more than when I simply just say that I don't like dating. Maybe it's really my personal vocation to stay single and give all my attention to my faith.
Thank you for sharing your testimony! Very inspiring!!
Good Morning Father from Pakistan. I am a Dominican friar. Every Time i see your video it is always full of vim and vigor. It gives me a new Motivation to be more engaged in brotherhood and to be more self less . Thanks A lot for all your Services towards the Church.
I want be apriest and I think the same. I like to know I'm not crazy, I feel that I was not born to love just one person.
We are called to Love Every person, it's the demonstration of that Love for a person according to God's plan that differs. As s priestly calling I pray that it is God's plan for you. We need Godly priests! Blessings to you!
Priests are normal people like us living an extra ordinary life to shower the graces from heaven on to earth.
We all are supposed to love more than one person. Just not with Eros. Being married doesn't mean you don't love your kids, family. friends, neighbors and everyone else. It just means it's a specific type of love for your wife in addition to the other types of love for her.
Hi Carlos, I will pray for you so you can become a priest, a good priest like Father Casey :). God Bless You.
I will become a priest too friend, god bless
As a married Catholic man who loves the Lord, I think your message is great! You are living a wonderful life! Peace be with you.
That's SAINT Valentine's Day to you.
You mean the patron saint of epilepsy?
As a single Protestant minister, he makes a very good point....relationships take a lot out of you...gives me a new perspective!
So what Fr Casey is saying is that he sees the human, not what he can get from the human. 💝 What a gift this young man is!
I can understand this. In heaven we'll have no marriage and no romantic relationships. There's a joy and a peace in having fraternal/agape love for everyone. It's so good to hear that priests are happy as they are!
I hope married people have the same faithful love for their wives and for God to not even be interested in anyone else other than their spouse!!
How do we know, “in heaven we’ll have no marriage and no romantic relationships.” Not disputing your statement...just curious.
Theresa Robertson marriages in heaven are a complicated subject that I’m still fully understanding but I’ll try my best to explain it. Basically, marriage vows always end with “til death due us part”. What this means is that if a spouse were to die, those specific vows would be void. However, once both are in heaven, in perfect unity with God, they will also be in perfect Union with each other. So in a sense, marriages as we see them will not be the same in Heaven, but they will be more beautiful and contain an even stronger bond. I hope that clarifies it.
Dennis Velez thank you for taking the time to reply. Marriage in Heaven sounds so beautiful. How wonderful that my marriage in this life will continue on into heaven.
Theresa Robertson I’m really glad that cleared some things up and I wish you the best for your marriage!
Thank you Father Casey, I know we are not meant for each other, but thank you for all you do. You are a great, sweet, and fun Priest. We all would be happy to hang out with you......God Bless you
Oh my !! hearing that Fr Casey made me so happy, you have no idea ! It is so nice to hear young priests say those words ! Happy valentines !
Fr. Casey, thank you for the amazing message and honest conversation! We pray for your continued contentment and strength in this spiritual path. You are the most amazing thing to happen in our catholic faith!
🙏
What a beautiful message!
Sincerely, thank you Father Casey!
When someone wants to date you but you're already married to the Church 😎👉👉
😆
As a single dude I can relate. Been there and done that. Honestly Father you aren't missing out on much. I enjoy being single and truly believe that I am far better off single. I know, not everyone thinks this way but.......I have been in two relationships that convinced me I am right.
Inspiring. I wanted to have a partner since I have been single now for 13 years. Everybody asked me, why I cannot find a romantic partner. I am pretty, independent,funny, witty, sincere, etc. But nobody seems to want me. Now, I am beginning to accept maybe I should not get stressed on marrying "again". For sure God will not allow me to get lonely.
Your last sentence made me laugh out loud and feel stunned at the same time - yep, that's weird.
I hear this. My relationship with God just took this turn. People think I’m nuts and my church thinks I’m a heretic or worse possessed by demons. I am LDS. I’ll never be a Catholic, but I will also never want to date you, Father Casey. Of all of your videos that I have ever watched, this is the one I truly do relate to. I don’t want to date them and I don’t want them to hit on me. My relationship with God has given me things I could never have with a spouse, including the blissful body image neutrality you mentioned and the freedom to throw myself into my creative work, and the answer to prayers for healing that I would not have imagined possible. I know I’ve said some hard things in my comments on your videos, but I do respect your vows and your commitment to be a Friar. I think it’s beautiful. And I know so well the pain of the disrespect that treats your decision of what to do with your own life and your own body as a attack on the people who don’t choose that and don’t understand or simply don’t like what it says about their own inability to control themselves. In as much as you all choose celibacy and chastity, you are my heroes. I sincerely wish your faith wasn’t so toxic to my family values. Otherwise, I’d line up to join you.
This is an absolute perfect way to explain your calling / gift of celibacy.
I do wonder if diocese priests feel the same way since so many live alone. May our Lord continue to bless you and your ministry.
Dannette - as old guy, I’m always shocked that young , goodlooking priests often have women flock to them... women must understand they need to back off. The more articulate, entertaining, lenthusiastic these priests are the more that women of all ages flock or form group of influence around a priest. It’s ridiculous. I can understand stand why priests get into a mode of being “blank” personalities, generic homilies, say nothing, do nothing with the congregation. Seen this too often. I avoid parishes with diocesan priests because they don’t get the support of anyone. Religious order priests get women to flock (at times) but they get the support of the order. My point is obvious... too often the priest after mass will try to disappear as soon as possible. I don’t blame him.
That’s something you needed to say. Priests are so much more than this celibate human, so not to discount that as it’s very important. But that Priests are truly human with a heart for Jesus and set apart in SO MANY SPECIAL WAYS😀. God Bless you and your journey 🙏🏽
You’re amazing father...I don’t like the idea of married priest as well...
God bless 😇🙏💕
It always amazes me how radically different a truly Christian life is from one lived not in Christ. Thank you for reminding me, yet again, that God is the ultimate goal and that a worldly life is not the greatest way to live.
Fr. Casey God loves you, I am very happy to have wonderful and bold priest like you in the Church.
As a married man I understand and relate. Once I found the friend of my soul my interactions with women changed.
it truly does and many will never see it.
Amen brother, happy for you cherish your partner as much as possible and respect them every moment you are alive. They are a gift from God to you 🙏🏼
Happy valentine's day father Casey
Don't forgot the Saint.
It's festival day to St Valentine.
Hahaha! The ending was great! Good for you, man. I've fallen away from organized dogma, and I was just today, thinking about things I miss about my church, but people of any spiritual discipline who are true to themselves, and a higher calling (and I believe that you really want to serve people, in the best sense), are really inspirational. I may not fully understand your choice, but I understand it enough.
All the best.
Say it like it is!!! The beauty of celibacy is the ability to recognize each and every person in their fullness and beauty.
Many thanks Fr Casey! Keep up the great work! May God bless you through the intersession of Saint Valentine.
Amen and amen. Thank you for your ministry. Thank you for being a priest.
"AGAPE LOVE...." The most Highest Order of 'LOVE.....'
We held such within the Military Ranks as well too... a Brotherhood... we shared in joint suffering, shared in times of great tension, shared in times of Great Joy, shared our grief, life and death... we shared everything, every moment of our Lives with one another...
Our Motto ~ "I belong to everyone and Everyone belongs too me..." This statement is very deep if you truly reflect upon it... It means, I did not bother to watch over myself, as I had a large group of military brothers who watched over me and ensured I was safe... and in turn, I, as well as other's kept watch over OTHERS...
AGAPE LOVE, is a Love of the Spirit, not of the Flesh... and in a sense, you become "ONE..."
Happy Feast of Saint Valentine, and good on you for finding and living out your vocation! God bless
Happy Valentines to all religious. May you continue to be blessed with love.
An Excellent and honest video and if I may add, it makes a great backhanded vocation advertisement for the Order.
What a wonderful reflection Father! GOD bless you! Good and peace! Greetings from Argentina.
Fr. Casey awesome as always❤️
Someyears ago a young priest was send to substitute the old (very old) one to the town I went to school in, was also the religion teacher. He was about 30 y/o and a bunch of older women (50's/60's) harassed him. I felt sorry for him. He actually brought back a lot of young people to the church.
Fr. Cassey, your are CALLED, you are CHOSEN, you are SPECIAL ! Thanks and Praise be to God for giving us a priest like you. From DE.
Good reminder of what’s good, true, and beautiful about the celibate priesthood. Also a good reminder to us gals to respect your decision and back off. I remind myself priests are “married” and treat them as such. I suspect women who get priest-crushes are actually attracted to the deep spirituality they just aren’t finding in lay men they meet.
So true! Sadly, it's hard to find the same qualities in lay men so we get crushes on priest, but it's pointless.
Good point!
Lol You are a True Faithful Shepherd Happy Valentine's Day Prayers for You Always🙏🌹❤️
Great message and also kept me chuckling
U Rock I love your honesty and your love for the priesthood I will continue to pray for you and for many other priests to feel the way you feel on this video God bless you👊❣
Great message Fr. Casey, it's so inspiring, so true. To be loyal to the Lord in the mission that he has entrusted to us, we have to remain very firm and of course love and serve but with the due limits of the dignity of each one.
God bless you and your ministry Fr. Casey! Love this. ❤🙏🏻
You're the kind of youtuber that I slap like just because you uploaded even before watching, because I know you always make great videos.
God bless you Fray Casey, thank you for giving your life to God and His Salvation Plan!!!! Gracias :)
It was funny and usefull at the same time. Thank you.
God bless you Fr. Casey. Vocation so beautiful explained .
Father Casey you are married to Christ your journey is one of grace and facing the hard facts of the world. Leadership like yours is rare in this contemporary world. I became a Catholic in 2010 it was the most freeing experience I have ever traveled through. Your experience is a blessing. I have followed most of all your UA-cam videos. Thank you for this post and I look forward to more. The Eucharist is the summit of my faith. I am glad it is secure in your hands! I love you my Brother, but uplift you in prayer as it should be! Glory be to the Father, Son & Holy Spirit! Your Brother!
Beautiful message!!
THAT FREEDOM!!! You are completely right!!!! It's so great!
I want to get married some day but I don't know how's going to happen that some day I prefer to be with someone than to be with my freedom... God helps me know when and with whom!
These words ressonated inside of me in a manner I'm still strugling to understand... God bless You!
Good job brother!!!
God bless you!
You are, a blast of fresh air everytime l watch your channel.
United in the faith, is a wonderful blessing in it's self. And l understand, and truly relate to you just wanting to give your whole life to God! There's nothing more rewarding! To be able to make the choice to give, your whole self to your faith! with out reservation.
Thank you, for your holy service! 🙏👍 keep up the good work! 🤗

Great video. Praise the Lord. Good to c u blossom where you are planted.
I really admire you :). The world need more priests like you! Congrats !
The latter part is the best message everyone should hear.😊 May Jesus and Mary be with you always Fr. Cassey!
This is awesome, wise, funny, truly honest & absolutely refreshing!! 👍👍🙏🤗God bless you & all my brothers, praying for you too, at Daily Mass🙏❤+
Thank u fr Casey i always love your comments.
Awesome, father Casey!
It's not you, it's me! 😂. Happy Valentine's to you too Fr. Casey, definitely, I do not want to date a priest! Your message applies to me in the sense that I strongly believe I'm called to single life, easy? Of course not but, God gives me the peace. So... I can understand your side. Greetings to Dcn. Tito
How did you know that was your vocation?
Good for you man! Happy Valentine’s Day.
Happy Valentine's Day Father Casey. God bless you, and guide you always through yor journey. Feliz Dia del amor y la amistad. Feliz Dia de San Valentin. Thank you for serving our Catholic church.
Awesome message ! God bless you. Happy Valentine Day.
Yes, Fr Casey! We don't want to date you, either! Please stay faithful, and true. Happy Valentine's day, Fr. Casey!
Remember the Saint in front of Valentine
This is a day to celebrate the faithful St Valentine
Fr Casey already has a steady commitment.
Great to hear a positive message about priesthood. Long may it be so.
:)) This is funny and sweet at the same time. The best message ever, the best way of putting the message into words. In a weird way it gives me hope when i see young people that could have had another type of life choosing to commit themselves to God and to the others around them. It gives me hope...it shows me the world has not changed that much and there are still people that value the teachings of the Bible. I think you will have an amazing life, with sincere friendship and honesty, love and support - which is actually what we are all looking for. I am so happy to have found your channel.
Thank you for all!!!
Love you Father Casey, praying for you daily💕🙏
Hey Fr. Casey, this is the first video I have seen from you and I love your complete honesty! I am married, but I can understand where you are coming from with your viewpoint how awesome it would be to help those around you and doing God's work! I just started my own channel out of a calling, it's rough but it's a start. I look forward to watching more of your videos! God bless!
God bless you father Casey!
It is so true! When you are no longer interested in a romantic relationship, you have already obtained some sort of freedom. Freedom from people's opinion of you, etc. Such words of wisdom, Fr. Casey! May i also add something to that...when we are longer attached to the things of this world, we are also being liberated on a whole new level. Bet you are feeling this way too, Father Casey! God bless you abundantly. Will be keeping you in prayer! Prayers & Love from Malaysia! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🇲🇾
I love your video, I was cracking up, and coincidentally, out of all the days of the year, I happen to watch this today.
As a lesbian, this let down is relieving 😂
All seriousness though, great video. Always love watching your channel
Thank you father Casey, God bless you always and thank you for answering the call of God for the sanctification and salvation of God’s children.
I dont want to date you either. Just saying lol You're a great Priest. There needs to be more like you. Lord hear my prayer.
Well said Father Casey!
Unexpected at the end. 😂😂😭😭😂😂😂
You're Awesome Father!
Keep up the Great Work!
Pax Et Bonum.
👏👏👏👏 God bless you! Sharing this....
Amen. Christ has set us free. The lie that my generation was sold (and that many have been sold) is that one's sexuality can't be controlled, it can only be harnessed (hence pornography etc are touted as "solutions" to sexual tension). I think even for those who are married, there is something freeing about not being sexually addicted, about being able to utilize one's sexuality as a free and rational act of self-giving love, and not as something that one "must" do, under compulsion.
This is the absolute most perfect time for me to view this video for the first time. Thank you Fr. Casey!
Father Casey, you are an absolutely great soul. I don’t want date you either. But in fact I love you in Philia, storge and agape love. Is still grater then the other I didn’t mentioned. I got the message that way...! Happy Valentine’s Day Fr Casey!!!
Fr casey, I agreed with ur message. Do keep up ur good as frair/ priest. Praised the lord. ..amen..
We need both! Sums it up accurately.
