Great work Father as always but I also feel that equally to the choice of the vocation of marriage and raising a family as a father which is so diminished in todays life. There is great sacrifice in todays world to provide for the care, education, spiritual need and growth as a parent especially a father. God is the ultimate father. I wanted to become a priest but after prayer realized that was not my calling nor could I honor celibacy ! But same marriage and father of five 31 years so far. I wouldnt have traded the experience and thank God every day

I'd love for you to do a part 2 on this theme and include what you wrote in your book, The Strangest Way, about the types of Disciples, the Petrine, the Johnanine, and the Pauline. Very interesting perspectives of all of those 3 of those. Both strengths and weaknesses.

There are 2 Gospel examples about Jesus Christ calling us to be his disciples. "Many are called, but few are chosen." And the 2nd one is from the Gospel of John. "It was not you who chose me. It was I who chose you." Jesus chose me to become his disciple. Why? Because he saw ambition and potential in me. And because of my infant baptism. I maybe mentally disabled, but I have a special relationship with Jesus and his Heavenly Father within the Catholic faith. Some people may not understand that. But the church members of the Catholic Church understand like my mom and aunt.

Well said, but what is the meaning for me of giving up your boat/livelyhood and following Jesus? I am a Newlywed (2 years) who just bought a house and have a kid on the way.Should I leave my Job? How will I pay for the house/feed my family? Should I sell my house? Where will my family live?

Fr Baron, 3:48 minutes into this video there is a portrait with men gathering at a table. I have seen this once before and would like to know what is the story behind this image.

It is a painting called "The Calling of St. Matthew" by Caravggio. Matthew was "Levi" and was a tax collector, tax collectors being most hated among fellow Jews as an agent of Rome.

What about your eastern Brother priests who don't take vows of celebicy.
@sunilpereira46835 жыл бұрын
the bishops in the eastern churches still take the vow of celibacy. does it show that they also value it?

Not to be a contrarian but shouldn't the title be changed to the call of the Apostles & their priestly successors rather than "Disciples?" Although chastity is a normative condition for all followers of Christ, poverty isn't, nor is obedience to any specific ecclesiastical superior. Obedience to the Magesterium is of another category altogether & is incumbent on & normative for all Catholics including priests. "Simplicity of life" should be a worthy goal for all humanity, not just Catholic priests or those in religious orders.
@QuisutDeusmpc10 жыл бұрын
BrotherWoody1 Not to be a contrarian, but I beg to differ. The Catechism of the Catholic Church and the documents of the Second Vatican Council paint a rich portrait that ALL the baptized are called to holiness (discipleship) and the fullness of Christian charity (a life of the Beatitudes and the evangelical counsels). There is always a twofold aspect of every virtue - both a material and spiritual aspect. So poverty means not only not to hold the material "things" of this world as an ultimate reality and embrace an ascetical attitude to the goods of the world (partake of them only to the extent that they promote our health and our salvation, AND it means "poverty" of spirit, or humility (as opposed to arrogance or pride). Again, chastity entails not only embracing continence (for the unmarried) and exclusive, consensual conjugal relations (for the married) as well as celibacy (for consecrated religious and clergy), but spiritually it is the embrace of purity - one's thoughts, one's will, one's faith, one's hope, one's love). The same goes for obedience. We are to be obedient to our parents, our spouses, canon law, priests of the Gospel and the diocesan bishop, civil law, judges, our doctor's, our dentists, police officers, firemen, etc) AND we are to maintain a spiritual attitude that remains open to doing God's will in all aspects of our lives. Yes, Father mentions his primary focus was for seminarians, BUT that any man or woman of good will, desiring to live a life of holiness would benefit from the general principles that could be culled from the talk.

6:45, I know we shouldn't take the bible literally, but here isn't Jesus saying that we should not burry our dead loved ones, and go pray or go to mass instead? How do we know when Jesus is using hyperbole, and when He is being completely literal?

This passage about being fishermen of men sounds a trumpet of failure in the context of the Empty Pew today. Where have all the Catholics gone?
