[@__cristianroque]

I am leaving Protestantism and migrating to the Catholic Church. Since I converted in 2020, I have felt the desire to be Catholic, but I resisted and even became anti-Catholic. But now it's different, I'll go all the way, because I've learned that the Church has always been Catholic. And I intend to be a priest, with God's permission.

[@MERCYBlessings-j4q]

May the Holy Spirit guide you.

[@VivianSchiedler]

Alleluia...may God bless youbon your journey of humble and courageous discernment. I love that Catholic means universal and Christ founded a universal church.

[@tubinho79]

God bless you.

[@padreronnyguedez5644]

DIOS TE BENDIGA TU VOCACIÓN

[@idxxxxxxxx479]

Please pray for me, as I am discerning priesthood.

[@charlesbotensten]

Amen! The Holy Spirit is with you ❤

[@DCLayclerk]

I will. You will be in my prayers today.

[@beatricepulido]

Great Saint to pray to in your discernment is St. Philomena!

[@MERCYBlessings-j4q]

May the Holy Spirit guide you to listen and serve him.

[@leahlozarita8975]

May the Holy Spirit guide you in your journey. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@kevinleonard7091]

God bless all of our great priests

[@DarcyTheManstop]

I am a protostant and I want to thank you for your work in the name of Jesus Christ amen!

[@john9486]

I don't know how the algorithm picked up on it, but I've been getting tons of day in the life for seminarians and priests.

[@jimothy8474]

Pray about it. God speaks through all things

[@mattmackinnan8557]

I’m a seminarian in Australia and the same thing happened to me as well.

[@Armenius_Catholicus]

God could use the algorithm if He wants to. He works in mysterious ways! I'm finishing my last semester of seminary in Rome and I wouldn't trade this life experience and vocation for anything.

[@shcusmc]

The same thing happened to me, and is still - I’m currently in the application process to enter seminary next fall! These kinds of prompts can be one indicator that you should explore the possibility that you might be called to the priesthood more deliberately.

[@synanthony]

Praying for y’all.

[@NicoleYoshihara]

Pray for our priests and increase of holy traditional priests 🙏❤️

[@HenryGuessed-g3e]

So you would like to see an increase in pedophilia??? You need to leave,

[@marianne080854]

I pray daily for priests- a rosary for priests!!! If you are not praying for priests, do start. Thank you dear Father for your faithful service. God bless.

[@kinnneithan7148]

Pray for also seminarians

[@princepis]

I met Fr. Heisler recently when he celebrated the wedding mass of some friends of mine. I Got to have a great conversation with him. He's a wonderful man and priest.

[@Shak457]

Father Heisler is a remarkable priest. Such a tremendous representative of the Catholic Church in 2024.

[@HenryGuessed-g3e]

Alcoholic pedophile disguised as a man of grace raping little boys all over the place. Nice role model ya got there.

[@gwijotube]

What a holy man! You can feel the love and joy of Christ working through him. Thank you, Father. May God bless you

[@VENEZIO-u8d]

Yes I also feel that way. He is such a good and holy Christian…. And an admirable Catholic Priest. I wish to kiss his hand in reverence. Thank you to Our Blessed Lord for granting his vocation.

[@LB-gu3wq]

What a great man! Thank you for your service Father 🫡

[@pinkfriggles]

We'll keep you in our prayers father. Keep up the faith God bless ❤

[@HenryGuessed-g3e]

Bible says call no man father. what do you not understand??? Hail Satan.

[@jaredjagiello9882]

My prayers for you Father, as I am applying to seminary in my own diocese!

[@stephenmcteague8018]

We're very blessed at St James to have such great priests assigned and In Residence here.

[@A-Creed]

Man this was great, more Priest should do this. God Bless

[@Shioban-il6tn]

I’m a college student in a bible study and we just talked about the women who touched Jesus’ cloak. I was really touched by that passage! Although the doctors could not help at that time, the woman who was sick for so long just had faith. She said ‘Yes’ to Jesus. Her faith saved her! God’s mercy is so powerful. God’s love is everlasting. It’s so cool to see that moment as an image! A recent phrase I’ve been praying is Hail the Cross, Only Hope. ❤

[@Ilumiizoldyck]

Holy man. A real man. Thank you father for saying yes to our Lord. 🤍✝️

[@ChristinMoi]

WOW this appeared on my recommended. I’m from Canada but it seems like Arlington has some great priests

[@DCLayclerk]

Really beautiful video, Fr Heisler is a great priest. Also happy to see Fr Isenberg, another great priest of the Diocese of Arlington!

[@mpat100]

Blessings and graces from Our Lady for Father Heisler.

[@TheLjdevlin86]

Beautiful. Thank you father for all you do for us and mother church!

[@fergalgriffin5858]

Greetings from Galway Ireland. Very nice Father, wishing you many happy and healthy years in your vocation.

[@somewhatmyself]

So well done. God bless you, Fathers, and thank you for your generous response to your vocation. God gives me hope for the Western Church through you. That ending sequence built on the Canticle of Simeon was tear-jerking. Praised be Jesus Christ.

[@charlesbotensten]

Love this! Father, you’re blessed to bring many to or back into the faith. Please continue this style/series 🙌

[@benbelardo]

Love this video. We need more videos like this! Pray for us Father Heisler

[@robertdunbar2434]

Father, thank you for this beautiful video. Our world needs to see and to hear more about being instruments of God's love, justice, and mercy. God bless you, Robert.

[@kandimaureen6574]

May the Holy Spirit guide you on a level path Amen Mother Mary interceed for you.

[@NotchYour_AverageWood]

The world must come to know that CHRIST iS KING‼️ "The family that prays the ROSARY together, stays together" Fr. Patrick Peyton

[@elizabethlong966]

Love it. Great priests featured in this.

[@roseannsmythe6824]

What a beautiful video. Thank you, Father, for doing this!

[@matthews1402]

Wonderful video Father. I grew up at St James but now in Tennessee. A most beautiful church, and the resident priests are fantastic.

[@ernesto1953]

Thanks for the video !

[@SeanCollins-t4w]

Impressive young priest. Need lots more like him, a guy who clearly could have fit in and succeeded in secular society as a lay person, but chose this vocation. People take notice when a regular, good looking guy becomes a priest.

[@r.c5534]

Wish people would notice when ANY man becomes candidate for the priesthood…..not because he is good looking. I would prefer they be ordinary ,nondescript in looks but in having hearts and minds open and obedient to God and the vows of taken by priests.

[@vicentecabedo5255]

Desde España gracias a Dios que nos da santos pastores ... Aunque sea tan lejano como Arlinton en Texas USA

[@pilar6311]

¡Hola desde Tennessee! Esté diócesis fabuloso está en el estado de Virginia.

[@DCLayclerk]

Saludos desde el diócesis de Arlington hacia España 🇪🇸, lugar santísimo de Teresa de Ávila, Ignacio, Josémaría Escrivá, y muchos otros.

[@gastonreboredo9408]

God bless you and your ministry, Fr. Heisler!

[@PaolaMelissaJimenez]

Beautiful and well made. Let’s share this as much as we can

[@AnthonyGibson-s1k]

Beautiful video. This is a quote from Father Frank De Voy: The spirituality of the Diocesan priesthood is inextricably linked to the community.

[@LorenzoDon1]

❤

[@faithbooks7906]

This is a wonderful video. Thanks!

[@boxesonwheels]

Som’t know how I got here, but this greatly helped me remember even the “frontline” Brothers ministering to us at mass, confession and other sacramental duties are people too. I know that sounds insulting, but I mean in the sense of, not praying from morning to evening, but living life as a devotional prayer of thanksgiving to God. I’ve lost confidence in prayers with constant anxiety of losing the discipline from my zealous stint, but I feel more at peace knowing whatever vocation, whoever I meet or whatever I do, I can always find peace in Christ.

[@rogerward3390]

God bless you Father

[@ronaldtrunk7944]

this is great. there needs to be more of these types of getting to know your priest type vids because i really have no idea what priests do all day

[@celiabesore3298]

Well done! Great job, Father. I hope they will feature other priests too.

[@zZjak793Zz1]

I loved this, I would love more versions of this video. Maybe focusing on different aspects of the day or week I loved seeing the prayer life aspects. Great work!

Thank you for sharing Susan. Wonderful

[@cynthiaarundel2240]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@simplechristian2438]

I am prepping for Anglican ordination into priesthood and hugely admire my Roman Catholic brothers and sisters. God bless you Father and your holy ministry.

[@Win5ton67]

Sorry to bust your bubble, but there is unfortunately no apostolic succession for Anglicans anymore. The Sacrament of Holy Orders has therefore no reality in the Church of England, and as rough as it may sound, any person "ordained" there is just a man (or woman...) disguised as a priest. "To be knee-deep in History is to cease to be a Protestant" - St. John Henry Newman

[@BillRouck]

Loved this, thank you!!

[@bobholmes65]

Absolutely brilliant and inspiring.

[@michaelwills7522]

Thank you for sharing...this was very nice to see. There is a great episode of the old show MASH and it is about the priest not feeling helpful but he learns just being a man of God helps everyone....M*A*S*H: Season 7, Episode 15 Kind regards, Michael from Georgetown Prep

[@sacradotjoannes]

teens doing bible study at 6:45 am BRILL!

[@plenty2say]

I wish I would have known about Catholicism when I was younger. I would have loved to be a priest 😔

[@tomg_2]

Very cool.

[@abc_gentle4673]

If "the Office" were a catholic show

[@wac74]

very cool

[@George-sv6vc]

Kudos for doing a male only Bible study.

[@SamuelChapman-bh2qs]

I used to be Catholic left the church a few years ago and went to Russian orthodoxy I pray for the day that the Catholic Church will be reunited with the Orthodox Church once again so sad to see the split this was a great video

[@josephusanthonybumaat9690]

Hi Fr! Inspiring video 😊by the way, do parishioners always treat you for lunch?

[@mikee6220]

This is great

[@1Hope4All]

Wow, how tall is Father? His head seems to almost hit the top of the door lintel!

[@fabriziopelissa]

Dall' Italia: Deo Gratias

[@DCLayclerk]

Benvenuto 🤗

[@1Hope4All]

13:44 I have no idea when "RCIA" changed to "OCIA." When did that happen? As a cradle Catholic, I shouldn't HAVE to know this but for the sake of evangelizing, I should know this info so that I can let non-Catholics know. And for what does the O stand? I have no idea. And is "RCIA" still used at some parishes?

[@isaiah3872]

O for Order. In 2021, US bishops' voted in favor of a name that better reflects the Latin term for the whole process, but I don't know of there were other considerations or even changes to the process itself. Most laypeople still call it RCIA, unless they were involved in the program themselves

[@theromanbaron]

this is based Fr. Scalia!!!

[@ChristianSigma]

Good stuf fr

[@ashishberlin6660]

✝️

[@marianne2935]

🙏💛✨

[@levimatheri7682]

Wow, he's tall!

[@1Hope4All]

2:45 This is where many Catholics do not understand that when the priest is holding up Jesus (consecrated host), we should be gazing at Him, Jesus. I bow my head when the priest bows while saying the words of consecration. Then when the priest raises Jesus, while the bells ring three times, I raise my head to look at Jesus. Then I bow my head again when the priest genuflects. And I repeat the same when the priest consecrates the wine into the blood of Jesus. 🙏🏼❤️‍🔥✝️ When I raise my head to look at Jesus, although I am gazing at Jesus, I still have peripheral vision so I do notice that many people are still bowing their heads when the Priest raises the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. Every time we look at Jesus in the Eucharist, our level in Heaven rises. ⚪🙏🏼❤️‍🔥✝️

[@castlegate2015]

Relax. 😂

[@jeannebouwman1970]

I do the same, and also during the elevation I whisper: my Lord and my God (for the Body of Christ), My Hope and my Salvation (for the Blood of Christ)

[@1Hope4All]

@@jeannebouwman1970 Yes, I pray the same thing thrice, "My Lord and my God." And for the Blood of Jesus, I pray, "Jesus my mercy, cover me with your blood." 🙏🏼

[@WKYing-o2c]

好帅❤

[@alexrenta7508]

quite impressive . how a man can live without the physical contact and intimacy with another human being is almost not human and miraculous .

[@RutilioNamaziano1]

Ex Italia, Laus Deo!

[@oliveri9407]

Face the other way when you’re consecrating His Son.

[@MakiLaki-e3s]

a gde su picke???? kakav lazni prikaz!!!!

[@VENEZIO-u8d]

It is so beautiful. I only wish you did not face the congregation. Laudetur Iesu Christus.

[@lenskywalker578]

WHAT AN "OVER-PRIVILEGED" LIFE !?! 🙄 I WONDER IF "PASTOR" KNOWS THE STRUGGLES OF LIFE FOR THE WHOLE REST OF "US" ... THAT'S TO SAY THOSE WHO ARE NOT "OVER-PRIVILEGED" LIKE HIM !!! 😖

[@daviddragona1853]

WARNING DO NOT BE DECEIVED

[@bobholmes65]

If God is for us, who can be against us? 😇

[@AD-sx7ix]

Bruh lmao

[@GodsLove883]

The statue is just a symbol and picture to remember for Jesus..Just like human now,we have so many pictures in our home to remember..that picture in the church ,we didnt say is a real God its just a symbol for them when we imagine thier looks and life in the bible..
