The future of the Church is in safe hands. God bless all the young men who answered the call to this most sacred vocation. We need warriors for Christ in these turbulent times. God bless the parents who raised righteous young men.

I've been ordained a priest for twenty seven years (in the UK). It isn't easy and at this moment I have been feeling the need of some inspiration and encouragement. Just watching this video (which I came upon purely by chance - or did the Lord direct me to it? Who knows?) has inspired and encouraged me in the joy which I had forgotten. Alex, please never change. Continue to be yourself in priesthood. You are a natural! Christ has called you so that he can be himself through yourself. May God bless your ministry as I am sure he will bless the lives of many through you. Thank you for saying Yes to him. From your brother priest.

Beautiful Mass but that music during communion!😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

Father, God bless you. God bless the great sacrifice you’ve made, and the Great Sacrifice you’ll be offering every day! A thought: assuming a superior didn’t foolishly order you to NOT use Latin, maybe you could introduce some in the future? It’s Holy Mother Church’s official,language, but more than that, it demonstrates the antiquity and catholicity of the Church…it thereby binds us closer to ALL Catholics over the centuries in the Communion of Saints. And… a PRAISE BAND? Cmon! That type of music might be fine at parish picnic…but at Holy Mass? Remember that Almighty God is not bound by human concepts such as space and time. So every time we assist at Holy Mass. we are AT/ON Calvary. We are there with the Holy Virgin and St John the Beloved. What would they have thought if a ragtag bunch of (sorry not-that-great musicians had shown. The Church has always taught that Holy Mass should be OFFERED SOLEMNLY. AS solemn as possible. Apols for verbosity. Congratulations on this great honor that the Good Lord has conferred on you! God bless you and your beautiful family!

Beautiful mass but the music sounds like it is 1970.

[@oledocfarmer]

Yeah, never good

Why is the thurifer doing that? Such innovation in swinging the thurible is not only unnecessary, it's dangerous. Congrats and God's blessings to the new priest. Beautiful Mass.

I thought as much its the way orthodox churches does theirs not roman Catholic

[@Lerian_V]

@@gamesfootball28199 It's not safe to swing the thurible in such fashion. If they want massive smoke, they should buy a good charcoal and a well blended incense.

@Brian Delaney Your post disappears once I click on it. Do you have any video where I can see it being swung like that.
