Follow Me.

Brendan, seminarian (aka: priest in training), sent me this vocations clip created in Brooklyn N.Y. using actual footage of priests who minister in the front lines, working, serving, sacrificing, and loving in the name of Jesus Christ. It takes a minute or two to download, but is well worth the wait.CLICK HERE to view this awesome trailer.

With all the bad news coming out of the media about Church scandals, it good to remember that the vast majority of priests out there are doing the work of God, staying faithful to their vows, and leading many souls to Christ through the sacraments, prayer and their life witness. My family is grateful to all priests and nuns who have said "yes" to God and who have enriched our lives by heeding Christ's (Note: Christ with a capital "C") call. Lord knows that deciding to follow Christ is this manner is not easy, so be sure to hug a priest or nun this week and tell them how much they mean to YOU! Sr. Catherine, Brendan, Mike, Michael, Tony, Dave, Charles, Fr. John, Fr. Alex, Fr. Greg, Fr. Tim, Fr. Mike, Msgr. O'Callaghan (T.X.), Msgr. Bily(T.X.), Fr. Scott, and Fr. Bob Scott (U.T. Austin)--we love you!

Georgie: Just sent Follow Me to Fr. O Cal.

How sweet of you to mention him and Fr. Bily.

Fr. Bily is very ill these days and must sit on a stool by the Altar as he can hardly walk these days.

Yeah, this clip is awesome! It is the trailer for a vocations movie that is being made for the Bishops and all the Dioceses. This is the stuff we need to hear. I watch it all the time when things get tough.

God Bless.

Love ya Clemens

Brendan,

There is no doubt the vocation is a tough one. I admire all the priests in that video. They are modern day heroes....like you.
