-- Transcript of Video --
I would say it is really beautiful and I would say amazing to see how this great ideal of the priesthood is still attracting young people. It is impossible to explain this on a natural basis. It is clear that Our Lord is behind, attracting through His grace, young people. And He will do the same until the end of time, because He wanted to entrust all the treasures of His Redemption to the priest and not to anybody else. We can’t change this rule. We can’t change this law, which is the law of the economy of the sacraments. But we have to be faithful to this law. That is the mission of the Society of St. Pius X.
The priest has a power to do things which in his human nature he shouldn't have the power to do.
The priest is one united intimately to Christ, the second person the Blessed Trinity.
The priesthood is a gift from Our Lord to show mercy to souls. The priest is meant to be an imitator of the Sacred Heart.
Really a mystery of God's infinite mercy, infinite Love - His eternal Love for a soul.
The priest is the man of sacrifice; he is the man of the Mass…
...who reflects God, the holiness of God among people.
He has the power to make God present on the altar. He says the words, “This is My Body” and it becomes the Body of Jesus Christ. “This is My Body”; this is not Jesus's Body: “This is My Body”. He acts in the Person of Christ.
The priesthood is a mystery because it's a transformation of a man in such a way that he now has Divine powers.
Who Is the Priest?
The priest, for Archbishop Lefebvre, is more than anything, a man of the Mass, a man who offers the sacrifice of the Mass.
There is a link, a union between the priest and his Mass, and the Mass and the priest, that cannot be broken. And if you try to separate a priest from the Mass, he will lose his priesthood. Just like if you try to have a Mass without a priest, it’s impossible.
[Confiteor Deo omnipotenti, beatæ Mariæ semper Virgini, beato Michaeli Archangelo…]
Archbishop Lefebvre talks about the priest being a man of sacrifice because he was ordained for the Mass. The Archbishop says that the Mass is both contemplative and active, but essentially active. It's the giving of self for the salvation of souls.
The Mass is the center of Catholic life. It's the graces that our Lord won on the Cross applied to us here and now. So in fact, any of the graces we receive from the sacraments, be it Matrimony or Extreme Unction or Baptism, all of those graces come to us through the Mass. And the Mass, of course, is the great source of all grace. And that's why the priest is so important, because he offers the Sacrifice of the Mass; he applies the graces of the Mass to us here and now.
When the priest can lift that host, there at the beginning of the Offertory, he's not just lifting a pure Victim - he can put everything on that paten. He puts every soul that he knows, he puts every confession that he hears, he puts every direction that he gives, he puts every class that he teaches - we can put all of that on the paten, and then, at that moment we don't have to be any sort of superhuman to be able to save the world, because Christ has already saved it.
The priest is called ‘father’ because a father gives life; a father brings life into the world.
The priest is not like a Protestant minister. He's not there just to preach the gospel truth and then go back to his family. The priest, as a celibate man, has one family and it's all the souls given to him in his parish.
To be between those souls that are standing behind you looking expectantly to their God, and on the other hand, God the Father looking back at them, paternally with His solicitude, and then receiving that kiss from the altar which is Christ, and then turning and passing that greeting to the faithful - that really strikes home as simply the role of the priest.
There, really being a father in the distribution of Holy Communion, so beautiful for the priest because he's a father to souls. He gives not only life, but Eternal Life to each soul that comes to the Communion rail. If he were to lay down his life for that soul, it wouldn't be more than he gives the soul in Holy Communion.
A mystery is something that we don’t fully comprehend. And when you think of the priesthood, that the man, the human being, has to be like Christ associated with His Priesthood. We don’t fully comprehend it. And that is why you can say that the priesthood is truly a mystery. It is not fully comprehended by the man.

God Bless the SSPX and its priests.
God bless ALL Holy prirsts.
Ave
Pray for these young men. Pray, pray, pray!
We are so blessed to have the SSPX! They have saved the Church! Keep praying for these priests as they save souls!
They brought me back to Christ and the Church
The SSPX priests do so much good work. Many travel great distances each weekend to bring the sacraments and the mass to the faithful. The SSPX have a video about priests who travel from the Northwest up to Alaska every weekend. Maike Hickson, a Catholic journalist, wrote about how a SSPX priest went far out of his way to talk to an elderly man who was nearing the end of life.
The SSPX priests also started bringing the mass to Fall Church, VA. last year during the pandemic. They now have established a permanent mass there. In Woburn, MA they have had priests travelling in from Connecticut for years to say mass in a basement chapel at a corporate office park. In February of 2022 they will move to a former Episcopalian church in Weston, Massachusetts. To all the priests of the society, we deeply appreciate all the hard work that you do to save souls.
I’ve been discerning the Priesthood for quite a while now. Just recently (over Christmas) I’ve felt a strong calling to formation in the SSPX. I had planned to introduce myself to the pastor at my local parish after daily Mass today, but I woke up ill and didn’t attend.
About an hour ago I got the idea to look up the SSPX on youtube to see what informational content was available. I just now searched for it and clicked on this video- I was amazed to see that it was posted right around the time I thought to look for it. God works even in seemingly mundane ways.
Thank you for creating this! I’m blessed to have the testimonies of the priests as a resource. Please pray for my discernment and vocational journey! I’ll keep the people involved in this video in my prayers.
vocations@sspx.org
God bless you Joseph! Everything is timing! My friend Jeffrey Tillery has been on & off regarding entering a (V2) seminary but once he found the SSPX & the formation of their priesthood he never questioned it again! God willing he will enter Fall 2022.
Joseph, my name is Cynthia Sauer. Be assured of my prayers! I mean that. I am writing your name in my prayer book. We need good priests.
The fact that you stumbled upon this episode, in my own opinion, is in itself a gift to you. You being sick the night before the mass you planned on attending is just a casualty, so to speak, from the battle between your mind and body. Be honest. Follow your heart.
Will be praying for you dear young brother in Christ. God bless you and keep you in His loving care and guidance.
Praise be to God for all the amazing holy priests of SSPX🙏🙏🙏
cometh the hour, cometh the man. The SSPX was meant precisely for this time in the Church. So many look to the society for guidance in this crazy time in the church.
You're spot on.
When speaking with a Southern Baptist woman several decades ago I told her that when Jesus said"This is My Body" he wasn't being merely symbolic or metaphorical, but he really meant it, and he told His Apostles do do the same thing in His memory. She then made the absurd claim that she could do the same thing as well.
The Catholic Priesthood is the second greatest gift that the good God has given us, because the Priest gives us God's greatest gift!
We are praying for you each day!
Deo gratias for FSSPX!
Thank you for preserving the TLM. Thank you for your sacrifices. May God bless and protect priests who reverently celebrate the Mass.
This is truly very beautiful, inspiring and hopeful for us who are living and walking in this valley of tears. Viva Cristo Rey.
"For many are called, but few are chosen" Matthew 22:14
Let's pray everyday for the vocations of the SSPX; Saint Pius X, give us many holy priests.
Santísima Virgen María, San Pío Décimo, rogad ante Dios por la santidad de la Fraternidad.
May God bless all these seminarians and priests and always instill in their hearts the mission to save souls.
Lord protect our priests. 🙏 These testimonies are very touching... Greetings from Poland. 🇵🇱❤️
God bless the SSPX and all its priests, it's so hard to see how they are persecuted even within the Holy Catholic Church. Thank you for saving the tradition of the Holy Catholic Church.
Thanks from Ukraine. It was very helpful for me today. I am thinking about being a priest. God bless!
May the SSPX ever Flourish and stay Protected in HIS Grace.
The HOLY SPIRIT Has Designed the SSPX to help the faithful worldwide, in today's Crises, to rally together in Defence of the Magisterium of the RCC

PRAY FOR OUR PRIESTS!
If I were a guy I'd be a priest. It's really the greatest thing that a man can be in this world.
It is a beautiful thing you say, but if I think about myself, I know that I have no intellectual capacity to do all that study! But, I know it is the best thing a human being can be.
This is so beautiful. ❤️ There’s no better calling for a young man than to serve God and save souls. I wish every man and every priest could see this video. 🙏🙏🙏
I cried while watching this... 😭

SSPX Priests Explain the Pries Thood .
BOAS TARDES !
Disse JESUS : " É nisto que meu PAI é Glorificado: em que Deis muito Fruto e sejais meus Discípulos . Assim como meu PAI Me Ama a Mim, assim Eu Vos Amo a Vós .
Ficai Unidos no Meu Amor . Se Observardes os Meus Preceitos , ficareis unidos a Mim no Amorr , assim como Eu Observei os Preceitos de Meu Pai e estou. Unido a Ele no Amor . Disse - Vos isto para que a Minha seja Completa " .
BEM - HAJAM ! QUE EXEMPLO !!!
Did the apostles have the power to forgive sins?
Confused, is SSPX part of Roman Catholic Church? Is this what people consider to be the Traditional Latin Mass which is now being restricted? Pope Francis celebrated Christmas Eve Night Mass in Latin so is the Latin Mass being restricted?
As I understand, they are not validly ordained priests... Some bishops separated from the Church some decades and kept ordaining priests...They opossed V2 I think so they are more traditionalists but I dont think they changed anything doctrainally...they are just rebelling against what they see as modernism... perhaps they are better than many dully ordained priests but they are wounding the unity of the Body of Christ... I might be wrong, though, it may have changed already...God bless!
Yes, they celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass, The Tridentine Mass. The SSPX resisted the changes made in the 1960s that resulted in the current Mass of the Catholic Church, the Novus Ordo Mass.
They are a canonically formed society within the Catholic Church, whose aim is the priesthood and all that pertains to it.
They are validly ordained priests and they are within the Catholic Church. Both the heads of the pontifical commission Ecclesia Dei, Archbishop Pozzo, and the perfect for the congregation of the doctrine of the faith, Cardinal Ladaria, have stated they are not schismatic.
Do SSPX pray for the pope?
Yes
Does the society have a cut off age for acceptance of vocations ??
I believe the age for acceptance is below 45 but exceptions can be made.
Email vocations@sspx.org for more information.
Is that what pope is aiming for? the way he is going on.
Why do you tell people that Quo Primum (1570) is forever binding? Why do you tell people that Vatican II was merely a "Pastoral Council?"
In my experience, they become little gods and you dare not question or judge their will or judgments.
I admire Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and the other Archbishops that held the Mass. I was brought up in Ireland and the Mass went out in 1965 I stopped attending in 1966. I went to London in 1967 and behold the Tridentine Latin Mass was still said there until 1975. Went to Australia it was out 1968/9 I left again for years I never went near a Church. From what I see from Utube Novus Ordo Church gets worse everyday.
Catholics don't know Christianity The Catechism and New Testament should be taught together and by Priests.
I became a Bible Christian recently 7th Day Adventist. I will never return to the Catholic Church.
Seventh Day Adventists aren't even Christians, let alone Bible believing Christians. They think that Christ is the archangel Michael. Unless you convert to traditional Catholicism, you're going to end up losing your soul.
You've fallen for one of the devil's many traps and departed from Christ to a false church. "Many will come in My Name".
It is not the priest but the Word proclaimed - the Kerygma - that consecrates bread and wine and regenerates in baptism. It is always the Word proclaimed, not the priest that leads one to God - Luther
My dear brother in Christ, you have been offered numerous times to return your room, and you refuse. You are schismatic
What?
Maybe you should check what “schismatic” means. How can one who fallows Sacred Tradition without any alternation can be called “schismatic”?
the church has stated multiple times that the sspx is catholic and not schismatic schism is defined as refusing to submit to the Roman Pontiff and communion with churches subject to him maybe your the schismatic
Priests don't have power to forgive sins. They are delusional to think they do. There's nothing a mystery about priests; they are preachers who God uses to bring someone close to Him such as in the Confessional. I have had sins forgiven prior to the priest even saying the absolution prayer and blessing. It's between Jesus and the sinner.
Surprising you are "wasting" time on a Channel diametrically opposed to your protestant mindset.
Worse has been said of our RCC Beliefs by trolls, which for us
is water off a duck's back.
Dear Kathy, Jesus gave His apostles the authority to forgive sins : "If you forgive the sins of men, they are forgiven. If you retain them, they are retained " (John 20:22 - 23)
Protestant expired argument 🥱
Extram ecclessiam nulla salus! A word from our Lord. Those sins you forgive are forgiven, those sins you retain will be retained" JESUS said so! So where is it that a priest cannot absolve/forgive sins? You are in your way to hell if you persist in your pride! You need prayers of conversion nothing less!
