Stay faithful all through out your consecrated life, I hope none of you will be blinded or tempted to go against the Church, the faith or whoever is the Pope..
Thank-you! So...very much for choosing to be a priest👏the world need you all. There is so much shortage of priest.

I've always wanted to become a priest but I am so confused I am 18 years old and I feel more closer to the priesthood I just get distracted by a lot of things an example of this is a relationship I am currently in that's what makes doubt about entering the priesthood I've been inspired when I watch these videos it motivates me more to enter the seminary but there are many things holding me back
Hey man, discerning is definitely a super confusing time for a lot of people. It ultimately involves an honesty and a letting go. You can only discern one vocation at a time - if you're in a relationship right now, it's important to tell her that you do feel attracted to the priesthood so that she is aware of that. If you want to discern marriage first, then continue to pursue the relationship. But if you're feeling a definite tug towards the priesthood, it is important to be honest with her and take the time to talk to a vocations director. Entering seminary isn't a commitment to 100%-for-sure becoming a priest, it's a discernment of the priesthood. You may enter and discern out. Or you may enter and realize that is what God wants for you. You won't know until you let go and let God guide you.
Star_City_Mayor if it makes you feel better, lots of people who start discerning don't want to tell anyone and approach the vocations director asking for anonymity / confidentiality. If you need to talk to a director, you can definitely do it in confidence. God doesn't desire you to stress about what his will is for your life - He desires you to seek it. You can look into colleges and talk to a vocations director at the same time. Praying for you to have the courage and peace to seek out and follow wherever he's guiding you, whether it's seminary or college. :)
Iosefo Tulafono hey you need to speak to a priest or a spiritual director.. I'd say if the thoughts keep coming up again.. you may most definitely have a calling.. having distractions are perfectly normal.... speak to someone.. the sooner the better.. all the best God bless..
Hi Joseph and Iosefo, Any relationship starts with spending time with each other. Best way for me to talk with God and to learn his heart is prayer through Adoration, Mass, and Scripture reading (Lectio Devina specifically) - It's relationship in development currently. God will not give you anything you cannot handle my friend. A good book to read also is "To Save A Thousand Souls". Don't let anything deter you from listening to God's voice. As for discernment, our Blessed Mother will always help you towards the right path (even if we think we made a mistake) and I would recommend going to a "Come and See" to actually see what seminarian life is about and meet the seminarians! They have been in your place so they know what it is like. And no these seminarians are not raging Sodomites. They are raging Catholic Men (Gay or Straight) in love with Christ and Discerning His Will. Man In The Wilderness, I am not trying to target you but this society in general... behind a computer or cellphone screen it is easier to make comments and generalizations. However, When you meet the actual people on the screen you get to know their story, the struggles they go through, and the REAL love for Christ that they have. This could be refugees from Aleppo, Syria or Gay seminarians. I just want to say that Gay seminarians are not running away from their life by entering seminary, they are SPRINTING to the one who gives us eternal life, Christ. It is he alone who can fulfill the deepest desires of our heart. St. Augustine said, "Our hearts are restless until they rest in you (God)".
I hope it is not novus ordo Because that is Not Catholic Do your research! Tradition is Catholic Novus ordo is not beautiful Our Lady of LaSalette A mass would be introduced that would be Odious to Our Lotd That is novus ordo!
This has been in my mind as well but I am still young and don't have much experience in giving all my life to God. I wouldn't know where to start but you should definitely go for it. Good luck and don't let nothing stop you from getting closer to our Lord👍👍👍👍
Yes of course, as long you are in good health, there is nothing stopping you. When I was in seminary there were students of all ages, I think the eldest was in his mid 60's. If God wants you he will not stop calling. God bless and best of luck.
I'm inspired more.... I'm studying III Theology in India for a mission diocese and aged 53 with good health but I would like to change it to any other mission diocese due to language issue. Any chance anywhere? Requesting your prayers. Thank you and congrats for the video !
They take the good with the bad and prepare themselves for talcing Ian a parish Rectory with a pastor doing his will more than our own easy not really BUT IT WORKD BECAUSE GOD give you the grace if you allow HIM to,work in you
who cares about the music is depressing? i just can't concentrate because the seminarians are so good looking....I just can't leave my earthy desires if i have to live side by side with such temptation..
How about you how can you contribute for the laborers of god to battle our enemies, saint Padre PIO said pray pray pray don't get tired we must win this battle for the greater glory of god pick up your weapon ,,,the rosary the sulter of mama Mary even you are far just pray and offer it to our seminarians they are the front runners of this battle say the rosary everyday and learn the life of Jesus praying the rosary you are also praying the holy Trinity the almighty father, the son who is jesus and the holy spirit, what mama Mary was blessed amongst woman? Becuase she is the divine grace of the father almighty, the spouse of the holy spirit and the mother of Jesus our redeemer in other words the holy Trinity had collaborated to a humble woman name Mary and our mother too that is the reason why she was blessed amongst women she is the depository of graces from god above so never tired of honoring our mother after all she was the woman cloth in sunlight with a crown on her head that is very determined to crush the head of serpent ! In genesis of the old testament , let us gogogo soldier of Jesus!
What about Mayan idol worship that took place at the Vatican Synod Octobef 2019? Mayan idols were given homage at the Vatican and a church dedicated to the BVM had these idols ! How can you all support the current RC positions on global warming, annulment process and sadly.....this allowing of Mayan idols on sacred grounds. I was in the Redrmptorist seminary back in the mid 1970's but was deeply influenced by Chatismatic Renewal....very hard for me to see the decline of the RC church.
NO SECRET: Togetherness, Brotherhood, and Priesthood life systematically confirm these young guys sexuality they already had before joining that they are into the same-sex attraction. Bravo guys!
According to what Catholic document? You have abandoned the teaching of the Apostolic Church founded by Christ. In your arrogance, you have become Protestant and have become the very thing you vowed to defeat. A heretic.
“...when their faith is activated...” ??? What? Since when is there an inactivated faith? It’s not something you can turn on and off like a WIFI connection. Either you have it or you don’t.
The Church teaches that the priest ministers in persona Christi, in the person of Christ. In speaking to his disciples, Jesus said, "He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me" (Lk 10:16). "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained" (Jn 20:22-23).
Wil liam and these uneducated men like peter and paul were priests and bishops just so you know brother; there is no continuity for christian faith without Jesus' priests.
May God bless, guide, protect and enlighten all Seminarians. It's a great challenge but our Church needs them more than ever.
PROTECT THE CHURCH.....PROTECT THE FAITH.....DO NOT FALTER....VERY FEW MEN WERE GIVEN A CHANCE TO SERVR GOD TO THE FULLEST.
Stay faithful all through out your consecrated life, I hope none of you will be blinded or tempted to go against the Church, the faith or whoever is the Pope..

I feel the call to become a priest.

Our Lady of LaSalette
A mass would be introduced that would be Odious to Our Lotd
That is novus ordo!

AMEN.
Everyday i pray all priest and nuns

Can I join the seminary at an older age? I need to take care of my parents, but would like to join after they pass away.
This has been in my mind as well but I am still young and don't have much experience in giving all my life to God. I wouldn't know where to start but you should definitely go for it. Good luck and don't let nothing stop you from getting closer to our Lord👍👍👍👍

nice
Can’t spell seminary without the first five letters
The music is depressing
Really? That makes no sense. Maybe you're threatened by the mystery of the sacred
who cares about the music is depressing? i just can't concentrate because the seminarians are so good looking....I just can't leave my earthy desires if i have to live side by side with such temptation..
Sorry that I did, thought, said and wish any bad towards anyone in the video in anyway
where are your cassocks?
Are straight men allowed to be priests?

it’s not like that
Les falta la sotana
Poor man Novus Ordo is Not Catholic
So your a protestant!
I will pray you find the True Mass!
According to what Catholic document? You have abandoned the teaching of the Apostolic Church founded by Christ. In your arrogance, you have become Protestant and have become the very thing you vowed to defeat. A heretic.
You POOR soul are in schism. FRANCIS IS PETER.
I can undersrand the attraction to the liturgy since we humans like rituals. But it is the batshit whacky philosophy that rubs me all the wrong ways.
“...when their faith is activated...” ??? What? Since when is there an inactivated faith? It’s not something you can turn on and off like a WIFI connection. Either you have it or you don’t.
Organized religion. Christ did not want that.
They biggest gift they are getting is a double life with zero accountability.
All these guys seen effeminate.
Our LORD GOD, JESUS did not institute priests, nuns, bishops, cardinals, n pope! HE called simple uneducated fishermen eto follow HIM n Serve HIM💝

Wil liam and these uneducated men like peter and paul were priests and bishops just so you know brother; there is no continuity for christian faith without Jesus' priests.
Wil liam you don’t know your bible.
Jesus sent his disciples out to teach just like priests etc do
Wil liam WRONG😎
You are so hateful , a Heretic or atheist ? lots of love & prayers for you.
