Fr Daniel Reehil - A Wall Street banker who became a Catholic priest

Enjoying the lifestyle of a successful banker on Wall Street, Daniel was renting a house in Amalfi, Italy for the summer. When a friend expressed a desire to visit Medjugorje, a place of Our Lady’s apparitions just across the Adriatic Sea, Daniel decided to accompany her. Despite the privileges and luxuries of his job, Daniel had, over the years, become very unhappy. He had started having nightmares which ultimately lead to months long insomnia. After a full nights sleep in Medjugorje Daniel woke up with a tremendous sense of goodness. He says the word peace is not enough to describe the feeling he had. That day he sought out a preist who would hear his confession after 20 years way from the Catholic Church. In this Fruits of Medjugorje video, Fr Daniel gives his testimony of conversion and his journey to priesthood. #testimonies #fruitsofmedjugorje #medjugorje #testimony

I was raised Mormon. By mid-teens, I stopped attending. Up until 2019 no thought of going to church, but always kept thoughts of my Lord Jesus. I had a few angry explosions where I yelled at God (smh) & when calmed down, apologized greatly. He' my God. The last quarter of 2019 with a coworker, I started asking questions, as she was Catholic. I got curious and went to see the beautiful St John's Cathedral in Boise. And my Lord welcomed me. I was there for the architecture - or so I thought. Every time I tried to leave, something would catch my eye and I'd remain a few minutes more. Then it dawned on me as I saw people, that there was a Mass coming up, so I sat down. Jesus kept me there, to watch in complete awe the beauty of the Mass. I began crying at the Holy Sacrament, my heart breaking as the priest broke the bread and said 'Take this, all of you...' I became a Catholic Easter 2021. And now pray for my son' conversion, his children and my mother, sisters, & brother. It's been amazing. The anger I lashed out to God no longer is there. I get angry, but it's followed with His quiet touch to breathe and give Him the problem. He can handle it better than I can or ever could.

I’m not Catholic, but Fr Daniel illustrates the faith with such depth and beauty - I can better see now the true intention of the Catholic faith

I was raised Catholic, but became protestant at age 20. I'm 63 now. Your testimony was beautiful. I've learned more about catholicism in the last 3 years than in the first 20.

To hear God's voice calling you, then quitting your job two days later - that's faith! I could listen to Father Reehil for hours.

[marylee]

I am Catholic. I love listening to this man. He is very inspiring with his love for God and our Faith. God bless him!

After suffering an extreme panic attack/existential crisis, I turned back to the Lord and I experienced exactly the peace he talks about. It's indescribable, He gave me my life back.

Fr. Reehil belongs to my diocese. I’ve been told by numerous communicants in the diocese that he’s very good at his vocation. 👍🏻✝️

Came here after Father Daniel's podcast with Michael Knowles. His amazing! Mu heart fluttered when I heard his story of his conversion back to Christ. ❤🙏🏻

[marymagerr]

Could listen all day to Father Reehil such a peaceful serene feeling he brings while being so grounded and worldly

I am so blessed to be a parishioner at this beautiful church in Tennessee, and having Father Dan as our Pastor - truly a man of God, reverent and faithful. I’m often moved to tears during Mass as I bring my failures and sadness, my wayward children, my frustrations and anger with the world as it is now, and all my “unanswered prayers” and impatience to the altar and the foot of the cross. God Bless and Mary keep you, Father … you remain in my daily prayers as Saint Faustina wrote in her Diary (1052) for protection and an increase in holiness and mercy.

To be Catholic is the greatest treasure, the greatest of all treasures to know.That we received the glorified body of Jesus Christ.It's an inspiration to listen to this priest.God bless him.We must pray for holy holy holy priest and for the priest that are heading against the church also

[allrise]

Father, were you a lifeguard? I think we guarded together. Same high school, as well. I, too, became a priest.

[juliecontreras]

Please, Father, pray that my daughter and I go to Medjugore. It is a financial impossibility for us but God can do anything and will give His Mother all she asks of Him. Ask her to bestow this Grace upon us. Life is like a Perpetual wedding feast at Cana as where Our Lady never stops interceding on our behalf ‼️

[helenrogers]

Please pray for my granddaughter Lauren; she doesn't practice her faith, she has a teenage daughter, who is negatively affected by her moms lack of faith. Thank you. 🙏☘️✝️

[juliannestumphauzer]

What a beautiful story! Praise be to God for raising you up to the priesthood, Father. May He continue to bless you all your life>

[svencm]

Excellent witness to the vocation of the priesthood and answering God's call. Powerful!!

[marigoldgatus]

I am a Catholic by birth & thanks to my Mom for inculcating in me the good practices. Now that I am a Mom I am happy to have a daughter who is God fearing & never fails to do her obligations as a devoted Catholic. In our lives everything happens for a purpose & to what Fr. Reehil just shared is such an inspiration! Anything is possible with God. Just trust Him because He knows what is best for you. 🙏

Father Dan, so great to see you again. You and I were together at holy apostles for a couple of years. I’ve was ordained for the Archdiocese of Santa Fe in 2015, where I remain today. I’ve been in Medjugorje twice now since ordination, and so perhaps we’ll cross paths again there. God bless your continued ministry. God be praised for your witness.
