Carefully Discerning a Vocation for Marriage

The sacrament of matrimony is not for everyone. It isn't the default position if you aren't to be a religious or priest. Careful consideration & discernment is needed just like in everything. For more please visit www.traditional... & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest

My left ear enjoyed this message.

I don’t understand how very one in the comments did not like this talk. This was very informative and helpful

[@aaronrider4051]

Sermon is by Fr. Gregory Eichman, FSSP, who is currently chaplain of Mater Dei TLM parish in Harrisburg, PA

I knew it would be fssp

I would have found it painful enough had I been waiting for Erin May,when I was 47,never mind what I’m now,(in September),57. It’s a very heavy Cross not being with Erin May. Please remember Erin May,in your prayer’s. Thank you. God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!! Ps as we know Jesus answers us three ways YES NO and WAIT. The difficult ONE is between NO and WAIT!

[@mislavmatisic1098]

Are there any updates? God bless

[@jasonhaiflich8967]

Very very very well said talk, even on discernment as a whole. Paraphrased : “Put off the old wine now so that the new wine may be filled in the future”

[@jude.dag-YT]

Praise be to Lord Jesus Christ

[@simonslater9024]

Please pray for Erin May,my future wife through grace,me simon and our intentions. My heaviest Cross is waiting for Jesus and Mary to bring Erin May and me together! God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!! Ps please watch the warning or illumination of conscience by Christine Watkins.

A consecrated friend insists his way is the shorter way to heaven yet marriage is often referred to as the ordinary vocation for the faithful. Maybe so assuming a proper preparation is done and sufficient care is taken to determine if a potential spouse has enough virtue to take up this sweet cross. Since this is often not the case Father has a point.

[@gray_mara]

The Council of Trent affirms, under an anathema, that virginity and celibacy are better and more blessed than marriage so your consecrated friend is right. The Fathers of the Church all held this position.

beautiful video! God bless

Thanks Fr.

[@Lauradahl-creations]

But how can you miss your vocation if your heart longs to fulfill Our Lord's will but is blinded to it?

[@adriannebendu8421]

I would have much rather have seen the person speaking then the pictures; made it harder to watch.

[@andy41417]

Try listening with eyes closed. It may work for you. I appreciate the relevant photos but double tap back when distracted.

[@donatio1]

I actually prefer it like this. Focus on the message you don’t need to look at the images, though it’s good as it goes with the teaching and dress you to understand things

[@catholicfemininity2126]

I prefer pictures over a blank screen or slide show of randomized pictures. These pictures are sometimes placed in the correct time and correct topic.... but I understand, I too like seeing a person talk.

[@jasonhaiflich8967]

If I ever listen to sensus fidelium , 95% of the time it’s in my car

[@Chooselife2024]

Talks fast😳✌️✝️

[@Chooselife2024]

Fr. Mike Schmidt talks faster😂

[@kristinacatherine5121]

Wow, what a rambling, repetitive, empty talk. Just because a homily is traditional doesn't make it good. 🙄🙄🙄

[@catholicfemininity2126]

I'm not sure if this was a mass homily or if he was doing a talk to a group of men/priests etc.. I know talks are done to nuns.... I understand that he didn't go into much detail, I figure finding a good spiritual director will help you discern your vocation. Btw how do you think this talk could've been done better?

[@alexmccollum6573]

Let's be more gentle you know what I mean? It's tough to give talks like this

[@rjgle]

Horrible in my opinion. Why? He only stated the role of the Man, and he actually included the woman in that role. He failed to complete the rest of the scripture passage and that's for a woman to submit to her husband. Convienient? Pretty sad for a Sensus Fedelium post and I love your posts.

[@morganmorrison6307]

Did you ever consider that he was speaking to the role of men specifically? A priest cannot speak on every point of the faith during a 15 minute homily. He speaks on specific topics. Maybe Father talked about the role of a wife in his next homily. Your comment is uncharitable

[@Chooselife2024]

It's just about the vocation not the role of a woman in her marriage. That would be a whole other post video

[@JewelBlueIbanez]

The Bible says “be subject” not “submit”.

[@cindyvelasquez1958]

Men in the family are the FIRST target of the devil to destroy the church through marriage. I believe that the priest prioritizes about men because we live in a fatherless nation (spiritually), many men do not have the right men to guide them on Catholic masculinity.

[@kathymaxted6151]

No.... Do you understand you come to Holy Communion in sin to receive the forgiveness. You can come as you are...if dirty inside to receive the wine of forgiveness

[@ndirish4569]

Forgiveness of venial sins only. You may not receive Holy Communion if you are conscious of mortal sin on your soul. 1 Cor. 11:27-30.

[@Jlleo93]

No. Scripture explicitly condemns this. Take Judas for example when the devil entered him after he ate of the morsel because he was in a state of mortal sin- plus 1 Corinthians 11
