THE BRENDAN OPTION 009 | Vocation Story: My Journey to Priesthood

[@Sandra-hi6zg]

Father Brendan, I first heard you in mass last Saturday after walking the cross. Your homily lit up my heart and many more. I have since then heard of your utube page . thank you Farther Brendan for saying yes to the call.I will keep you in my prayers always 🙏❤️

[@mycatholicfaithlivingstone845]

What's beautiful about this priest is that he seems so genuine. Its a great gift to be yourself, such freedom. God bless you Father🙏

[@nichola8127]

You are hilarious Father. I could listen to you all day. Thank you, thank you for your videos.

[@DSTH323]

What a gift this vocation was ---- for us. Thank You, Lord!

[@sara505sings]

Father Brendan, you are so real, and very funny. Hearing you brings me back to Ireland, to county Clare where I spend a couple of weeks every year, play Irish traditional music and photographing the countryside. I love what you are saying and the way you say it. Thank you. PS I am Catholic and am a Cantor and trying my best to catechize my grandchildren whose parents are not religious but thank God they allow me to take them to Mass. I pray that it sticks because if I die tomorrow, catechism is over. I won't give up on the Church.

[@philomenabyrne6186]

Wonderful talk Father Brendan ,I will pray for priests ,I do pray for you ,even more now ,God bless you and every talk you give ,we need you ,Praise God 🙏❤

[@cloverfield911]

A human and refreshingly honest testemony. Thank you Father Brendan

[@denicesmith6283]

I am not Catholic. I am Christian. Your use of the Tabernacle in the Old Testament as an example of your desire to serve in the Mass was beautiful. And your honesty is impressive. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

[@Nicole-uq2ul]

I hope he's convinced you to ask the question...is the Eucharist really God? Please look. It is and Jesus says so in Matthew chapter 6. Please read the whole chapter and see if he wants you to really consume him. The Jews really consumed the sacrifice or the offering wouldn't be complete. I hope you become Catholic so that you can complete the sacrifice. Praise and worship are separate things. Many blessings. And I hope to see you at the altar!

[@syfkog5236]

Hebrews 7 tells us that Jesus introduced a better priesthood and a better covenant. If your church is missing a Tabernacle and the Holy Presence of God there, then know that you're missing something better. Come to Jesus in the one, holy, Catholic, apostolic Church for a better sacrifice, priesthood covenant and enjoy the Real Presence now found not only in Jerusalem but in every Catholic Tabernacle.

[@jothompson1903]

Father Brendan, you brought tears to my heart & eyes the most encouraging & inspiring story of a priestly vocation I've ever heard. I'm an old woman & understand the folding of the arms, it made me laugh, I come from such women. May many men answer the call of the Master. Thanks for answering the call! Much love.❤❤❤

[@DamianRyan4dlord]

Thank you for sharing your Story. We are truly people of the Story. The Story is sacred. My own family, my own people were of the Seanchaí, Servants of the Story. We held in our hearts the story, pain, culture and achievements of the people. Some of us are caught up in and have become, vessels and vassals of the story of Christ and his people. It is wonderfully exhausting. Like Calvary it is bloody beautiful!

[@maireglynn6295]

Thank God he brought you back.....

[@RonanRi]

Father, you're an inspiration. Go bhfàga Dia again thù!

[@angelagilmartin2109]

Wow! Truly floored! Is this scripted or does he truly speak so eloquently…and beautifully 🥰

[@yvonnes2151]

Bless you Fr.Brendan, thank you.My kind of speak Amen

[@carmelkelly-wright5887]

We all have our patch.. it’s so simple we miss it.. we spend most of our time fretting and going down Cul De Sacs.. It’s only fact in this life we are going to die and next stage is for eternity.🔥 It’s time to pal up with him and spread the love!🙏🏻 Glory to God..✨✨

[@margaretmurray1100]

Hello Father Brendan, I so look forward to your sermons when you celebrate holy mass in menlough, you are such a great guide, thank you for having the courage to speak the truth, I do know, st michael protect you.➕

[@RogerBuck]

Second video I've now seen from you, Father. And thrilled to discover your channel. I can see you doing great, truly great, things for Ireland, now and in the future.

[@elsemariecunningham8120]

How I wish you would put your words in a book. They are painful at times, poetic at others but all good words. I am not Catholic. But I am a Christian and love Jesus. Even I am moved by your wisdom.

[@Nicole-uq2ul]

Have you become Catholic yet?

[@jothompson1903]

Maybe you could think of joining us! God bless you.

[@edwardwelsch5893]

What a skilled speaker! Deserves many more views and subscribers, imo.

[@ImmaculataProductions]

We agree!

[@coolcat7830]

Thanks for your honesty Fr. God bless you & your work always.

[@julienewman1344]

God bless you

[@noragorey305]

Hi Brendan, Love your talks. Lovely to hear how you decided to finally become a priest. Killeen church played a big part in my life too. Keep up the good work! Nora

[@nightshift4587]

Great story father. I cant get the church out of my being. I just cant.

[@MsHburnett]

Amen

[@johnmulvey5121]

Good. I enjoy these talks. Thanks1

[@puddyhuston]

Wonderful Fr Brendan Saw you in Killybegs recently and you made us all laugh so much Wish you had those talks on video also

[@nekelly123]

Very captivating story of your vocation Fr! You've a great way with words.

[@raydmurphy]

Fíor mhaith! "The field of God." Amen to that.

[@egan1egan192]

And may Almighty God bless you and every thing you do. A wonderful talk a great priest and thank you for answering His call. I live in England

[@robertryan2542]

Thanks for your 'yes' Fr.

[@heathermcdougall8023]

Fr. Brendan. Your story is a lot like mine. I studied with the Jesuits in England at Heythrop, and Campion Hall Oxford. Atheist as well, with some unresolved stuff. To cut along story short, I didn't find God or the church, God found ME. It's the only way I can explain it - God found me, and once "found", life could never , ever be the same again.

[@patriciabourke1080]

Thanks for sharing your story, it's great to hear your journey, could listen to ya for the day, until next week

[@davidsheehan7022]

Father Brendan, it is priests like yerself, that will bring people back to the Church in Ireland. Of course, I am also anticipating the resurrection of Father Jack as well! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnjVZIewoduHeZY

[@dermotcole3881]

Powerful stuff God bless you father

[@marieshortt5371]

Brilliant talk as usual Fr.Brendan. God bless you 🙏🙏🙏

[@kristinrosehealy6192]

Thank you!

[@maireodonoghue428]

That’s what draws us back ,the Church. I love the Church,and I get your reference to The Fool I like to think I would have done the same thing as you I would squandered because I wouldn’t know any better

[@elizabethmccarthy9805]

Well done Father your great ordinary and very inspiring 😅

[@josephinemurphy6443]

Fr. had i been sitting there i would have said the very same it's hard ,ive had a pull to the church since i can remember, these days i pity well stand alone ,no i'm not a holy! holy! BUT I LOVE HER TOO!! i hope you reach some young male ears out there.

[@marilenaf6426]

Unique 🙏💖

[@timfronimos459]

I'd like Fr Brendan as my spiritual advisor. YT videos will have to do.

[@timfronimos459]

wonderful video! get on with the work... what a great message.

[@edmundcoyle364]

Good.

[@rory_odonnell]

Well I guess I'm "edging slow"

[@lisaschuman1458]

This is so good !! ❤

[@paddymickiemickie8221]

Hi Brendan You headed for Maynooth Etc Etc I headed for Multyfarnham - New Zealand-now Australia Left that so called organised religious organisation s behind for many years Why I found few of them to be entirely honest I took the lords advice and only serve one master You are from looking at the majority of comments, speaking to the converted from a comfortable position I enjoy your talking as indeed every day is a school day Happy 25 to you and your followers Paddy in Oz

[@iindiar]

we need to live on private land as the public schools, the workplaces, the media, the peers, the government, etc etc are a vacuum. we must live, work, be educated & be surrounded by Christ on a daily basis.

[@themysteriousdomainmoviepalace]

What options are there for women anymore? The way you describe the Church is how I feel about it too. But I'm on fire with love for Jesus Christ as well. But nuns have had such a bad image for my whole life.and that option is invisible now.

[@jothompson1903]

I'm sure God has a special field for you. Come Holy Spirit fill out hearts anew ❤❤❤

[@dervellatierney6249]

You call Yates a Magician but you are pretty good with words yourself because they linger a long time afterwards.

[@janetfitzgerald9752]

Did you ever have an occasion to meet Father Malachi Martin? If you did, I like to know your experience with him.

[@Boatman607]

What about deacons ?

[@stevensonrf]

Sadly, Pope Francis seems to be vilifying the priesthood and wanting to dismantle it in favor of synodal church. Whatever that is?

[@CatholicK5357]

I appreciate your testimony, Father. But something you said disturbed me to my core. I'm not scandalized by you saying that you were saved by the Church. I am scandalized by you referring to Christ's immaculate bride as a corrupt shabby woman with a cigarette in her mouth. There have always been people within the earthly institution. But caveats must be made clear so that the listener understands the distinction. To hear a reverent priest refer to the Church in such a way.

[@edmundcoyle364]

[@patrickryan2787]

This guy needs to bust in a live body that’s willing.

[@caroline-9672]

He mentioned the fake medjugorie, I switched off

[@caroline-9672]

@kittieconvoy I agree we should not kill the Spirit but let us always speak truth, we also have a duty to correct, at least gently. There are many Church authorised authentic apparition sites that should be promoted, let's alway hold to the sharp sword of Truth.
