I am a Catholic who came home. The Priests in my life have brought me closer to God and Jesus than I ever dreamed possible. I owe my eternal life not only to Jesus Christ but to the Priests in my life.

Very touching, and such a professional video

[NicolasBuchenkov]

I've seen this video just two times, and every time a tear comes to my eye. This is so profound! Right now I'm in my RCIA course, in Russia, and even in this state I try to figure out what is my future. At first, going to Mass, I thought like, hey, I'll work on my life, do some really good things, give alms etc, and finally I will marry a good girl, long live, end of story, you know...But as I read The Catechism, The Bible, some other books, my book of prayers, which I always carry, I've realized that there was definitely something more, than I could have ever thought... Maybe I am the other one not to just receive all the gifts that God gives to us every day, but to give them as well, who knows?..Right now I'm sure, I really want to become a Deacon, but in my current state I think that finally becoming a Priest is the best vocation for me, ever. Nevertheless I continue to pray as the process of discerning God's will goes, and as the count of small personal revelations grows, someday I will definitely hear the God's call for me forever and ever.P.S. Fr. Mike, If you read this, just know: you are my hero, you've finally encouraged me to say YES to the one true Church (I was an Eastern Orthodox, for record, and I'm happy to reunite with my sisters and brothers in Christ all around the World). God Bless!

The video is great but the last minute was just amazing.. May God bless all priests and sisters !

[ucheuju]

Wow, just wow!!Who else had goose pimples watching this? This video is so profound, even Fr Mike had to forgo his wedding plans to answer God's call.
I pray for the priests all around the world, who have dedicated their lives to healing and nurturing of souls that the fire and zeal they have for the Lord will never cease.
I am simply touched by their sacrifice to bring us the sacraments each and everday.

[addie-eileenpaige]

Jesus said, "Come follow me." I'm so glad Fr. Mike and Fr. Josh did. Thank you to them and all other priests for answering that call.

I loved the part where Fr. Mike told the story about how the priest he made fun of rushed to his bedside without a second thought and gave him Anointing of the Sick.

[sandymunoz]

Watching it from Ecuador. This made me so proud of our priests. Thanks for that yes.

[amberhackiewicz]

Truly amazing stories that exemplify God's goodness and grace. It truly brings tears to my eyes at how he has changed these men's lives. It gives hope for all of us that we can find love and fullness amongst all of our brokenness. All we have to do is let God fill that void.

[eldredge]

I am absolutely using this with my confirmation students when we talk about vocations! Such a great video!!

[denissearce]

The first thing I thought after watching this was: If were a man I would become a priest 😃.
As a woman going through a discernement process, this was a beautiful gift.
Thank you for showing that choosing a path like this is indeed a beautiful path.
