Every Priest Is a Jacob’s Ladder

Friends, please enjoy this brief video from Spirit Juice Studios of my ordination of six Dominican friars to the priesthood, which took place on May 25th at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC.

The Order of Preachers has had a profound impact on my life, and I am grateful to the Dominicans for inviting me to ordain these men as priests of Jesus Christ.

These priests are also the first group of men that I have ever ordained, so they will always hold a special place in my prayers and in my heart.

Please keep these new priests and all the newly ordained priests in your prayers, asking the Lord that they always remain faithful and seek to imitate in their own lives the sacrifice of Jesus, our great high priest.

Amidst all of the turmoil and ugliness of the current crisis, Bishop Barron redirects our eyes to the beauty and truth of Christ's Church. I have hope because of his encouragement. Thank You Bishop.

Simply beautiful ... and remember, you believe what you read, you preach what you believe and you practice what you preach. May God guide us in our common quest.

It's wonderful to see young men completing their path of discernment and stepping into a role that is daunting and yet extraordinary. May God bless these men and all who take on the mantle of Christ: Priest, Prophet, and King. The Church, the world, and we, all need their "yes".
