Archdiocese of Washington Priesthood Ordination

[@david_do]

This is probably one of the best Ordination Mass that I have seen. I actually watched the whole thing twice! I've been discerning my call to the priesthood after watching this video a year ago and it's great to see how young and happy they are. This Mass has inspired me to try a different path and I believe now that God is calling me to be a priest. I'm 21 now and currently applying to enter into the seminary this Fall. I never wanted to be a priest before but I just feel that this is my calling. Please pray for me and for more vocations to religious life. God bless you all :) Thanks for this beautiful celebration.

I am so glad that two Filipino saints were included in the Litany of the Saints. God bless to the newly ordained priest!

Congratulations on the New Ordained Priests. May the Holy Spirit guide and protect them in there Daily Ministries and to the Flock of Congregations where ever they are assigned to. I very much Like his Eminence Cardinal Wuerl. His Eminence is a very true down to earth Priest/Cardinal who is excited to be amongst the congregation, all the Priests, Associate Bishops, Monsieur, Altar Servers. He a very kind person and he Loves Ordination very much. It does not matter how many Deacons are getting Ordained Priests, His Eminence loves to bring in new fresh minds and souls into the priesthood. May God Bless everyone.

Very beautiful ordination ceremony. Very touching to see one of the newly ordained shedding tears at the end. Truly moving. God bless all of them in their ministry.

I live in the UK and last time I was in Washington I was asked to pray for Stephen Wyble, one of these eight, described to me as a 'wonderful young man'. This has to be just about the most moving thing I have ever watched- talk about 'the beauty of holiness' and how I wish I had a way of contacting him to assure him,even as a perfect stranger of support from the UK. This is a video to treasure.

[@WashArchdiocese]

Mike, thanks so much for your comment. If you liked that video, take a look at this short video created from the ordination: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHnTh3aLhZlokJY

[@mikevince7045]

Thanks- wonderful and inspiring. Please pass on prayers and support to Stephen and I hope one day I might be able to write to him and send the warmth from this piece of the UK as he starts working in a city I love.

[@WashArchdiocese]

You can count on the prayers. May God continue to bless you.

[@mikevince7045]

and bless Stephen also

Please provide a link to the Order of Service for this ordination Mass. It would be great to be able to follow along with the service as well as to see what music is being sung.

[@LuisPerez-be4ts]

May god bless all the new Priets with peace.fidelity.perseverance

[@alanbourbeau24]

I heard about the ordination of new Catholic priests but never attended one at all. I have a friend of mine who’s in the process of becoming a Catholic priest and whenever his ordination is, I hope to be invited.

[@sepo1690]

I don't know why I always cry😭 during Litany of the Saints.

[@GeminiMoon1994]

That rendition of Psalm 133 is amazing! As for the song at the end, being the Brit I am, I was singing I vow to thee my country....no idea what words were being sung in this video haha.

[@FraeMius]

Lord Jesus Bless all your priests..

[@jonathanmurphy4891]

The music is gorgeous. That Entrance Hymn would cause the goosebumps to tingle. I recall my time at Maynooth University (Ireland) and the rich liturgical music emanating from the Seminary Chapel. That was thanks to our national 'liturgical musician' treasure, Dr. John O'Keeffe. It's probably why Pope Francis knighted him, along with his protege, Ronan McDonagh, who is another fabulous contributor to the Celtic fusion of liturgical music. But it does bring focus to the very essence of the impact of music in the liturgy. Whether it be modern or classical, I feel that there is an internal sense of emotion in rich-quality church music.

St. Isidore, Pray for us!

[@archsword2446]

St. Arethas of Najran, Pray for us.

[@EVANGELICEMOSJUNTOS]

Bendito seas Señor por tu fidelidad con los nuevos Presbiteros que se acaban de Ordenar. Bendice a cada uno de ellos y concedeles ser fieles a ti, y a tu Iglesia, No los desampares. Dales la fortaleza de tu Santo Espiritu en todo momento para guiar a tu rebaño, y libralos de todo peligro y tentacion. Que la Virgen Maria sea su eterna compañera y guardiana de la Fe, en este largo caminar que les espera. AMEN.

[@eirene1988]

Does anyone know what the Communion song is? It's in a foreign language but is very beautiful. Thanks a lot in advance!

[@IreneuszCzech]

Congratulations! 🙏😀

[@shyamjohn7569]

praise the lord 🙏 Whitefield Bangalore Karnataka India

[@donpkra]

very beautiful opening piece of music what is it ?

[@larikipe940]

The organ prelude was Prelude in E flat Major, BWV 552 (from the Clavier-Ubung III), composed by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750).

[@larikipe940]

I cannot find out much about the hymn at the procession other than the name of it is Lauda, Jerusalem. The words of the refrain are: Lauda, Jerusalem, Dominum Lauda Deum tuum Sion, Hosana, Hosana, Hosana Filio David. which roughly translate to: Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem, Praise your God, O Zion. Hosana to the Son of David.

[@Rumptertumskin79]

woh!! What is the motet during the kiss of peace with new priests after ordiantion ? Sublime!!!

[@LuisPerez-be4ts]

Beautiful celebration

[@mdilandias4253]

God blees all

[@aldscabrera2947]

Amen

[@charlespatsky7060]

just found the title of the opening hymn/chant Lauda Jerrusalem but which composer please? thank you!

[@tamiasthechipmunk]

What is the name of that majestic processional hymn? It is such a soul stiring piece of music. UPdate: I managed to track down the hymn. Its "Lauda Jeruselem Dominum"

[@JosephLouis]

Entrance Song name pls?

[@16Mystery61]

It starts at 30

[@jamie7880]

Kevin Lukowski it starts at 00:00

[@michaelcaza-schonberger9282]

Why are they sining Psalm 110:4, and Hebrews 5:6 (passages that are refering to Yeshua, not men or women) out of context? I'm talking about 1:56:34 into the video.

[@StevenRabanal1997]

Because they also apply to all priests.

[@michaelcaza-schonberger9282]

OrlandoMusic prove it, the texts are pretty clear that the verses are only to do with Messiah Yeshua! Scripture is quite clear, we are all priests (1 Peter 2). If the office of priest was a true office in the church we'd see this in Scripture, but we don't. The offices of church leadership are: deacons Elders Shepherds (Bishops/Pastors) (Titus and 1 Timothy teach us this).

[@HistorischeGlocke]

How is the final song called? :)

[@shababgeg]

Oh God beyond all praising by Anglican minister Michael Perry. It was set to the 'Thaxted' tune, adapted from Gustav Holst's Jupiter movement from his famous 'Planets' suite. Holst himself adapted the tune originally to a patriotic English poem just after WWI, creating the much loved British hymn, 'I vow to thee my country', often played at British state occasions notably the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales. This version was written by Michael Perry in the early 80s.

[@HistorischeGlocke]

+Jack John Thank you very much :)

[@vincenta_2]

What was that opening hymn

[@willsettle8036]

Lauda Jerusalem

[@andresmorales4203]

what is the last song?

[@larikipe940]

The hymn at the recession was "O God Beyond All Praising", by Michael Perry. The hymn tune, however, is called THAXTED, composed by Gustav Holst and was originally the middle section of the "Jupiter" movement in his orchestral suite, "The Planets". This melody is also sung in Great Britain to the words "I Vow to Thee, My Country", a British patriotic poem written by Sir Cecil Spring Rice.
