How inspiring to see these young priests. Totally awesome. The ultimate in counter culture.

[@normandotorres6380]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience of being a man of God. May the mother of Jesus always be with you.

[@evelynbattad1544]

My prayers to seminarian J.P. Thornton and all seminarians of the world so that they will become Holy priests in GOD's time. Thank you for sharing your story to us. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

[@bemore1134]

How fortunate we all are to have these young men choose to follow Christ in this way. Thank you to all seminarians for answering your call.

[@nickv9754]

Thank you

[@randymudge7435]

I was going to be a priest during late grade school. I'm not sad that I didn't take a vocation, since I found mission and purpose in my life. I feel like I've done what the Lord wanted me to do for a number of reasons. But, I think I would have loved being a priest! God Bless these young men, and may our prayers be with them. :)

[@nickv9754]

Thank you

[@ugbenennekachinedusandra6117]

God please be with them

[@israelmaro8892]

This is very inspiring to the young men desiring to becoming priests.

[@petertrausch3245]

I think this day in the life video is very much needed! It can be intimidating as a young man considering seminary without knowing what it’s like.

[@israel6319]

Praying for the call of vocations! God bless 🙏🙏🙏

[@lilians463]

Thank you for doing this video well done. I think you explained so easily to understand to see how is life as a Seminarian. I am planning to show it to my Son who is 13 years old. I am praying to our Lord for him to become a Priest. Thank you God Blessed you I will keep all of you in my prayers

[@cheraybisaya]

Blessings to you all, Thank you for the sacrifice and for loving our Dear Lord, Jesus Christ!

[@pilgrim3387]

Excellent. Best of luck to you and your fellow Seminarians. God bless you all and keep you safe.

[@glenn212now]

I'm writing a screenplay about a character who is a priest. So I've been doing a lot of research about the seminary etc. This was definitely one of the most fun and informative videos I've seen. Great job.

[@TheCombatartist]

You ARE chosen, thank you for listening to your calling 🙏🏼

[@anthonymcnamara6306]

Wow , what an amazing Seminary, Well done young man for making such beautiful video of a happy place to study to become a Priest, and it looked like there are a very large number of men responding to Gods call, God bless you all. Ps and all so happy, a great sign to the presence of the Holy Spirit. Well done.

[@ThomasBeuning]

Yo, father Micheal is now a priest at my parish, I served mass with him today!!!

[@benbelardo]

So proud of you Father JP! We need more videos like this.

[@SanBrunoBeacon]

I have the highest respect for these wonderful men who are devoting their lives to God and mankind.

[@elijahkwizera1794]

I thank God for your calling and for your vocation and i pray that amidst all that is going on in the world today, He continues to strengthen you and the church in spreading and preaching his word. United in prayer.

[@Snoopy-mo4hw]

Awesome video! Thank you for doing this and following Christ in your call to the priesthood. See you at mass!

[@SHARKFORDINNER]

That was such a wonderful video. Thank you.

[@annamccurry-q2l]

Thank you I loved that video. Praying for you all, God bless you

[@brycestrong8195]

Whether intended or not, this makes a very good recruitment video for those who may be considering a call to the consecrated life. If i was younger, i certainly would have taken a closer look at this path in life.

[@tonyd287]

Thank you for sharing this

[@LydiaVacs]

God bless these men for committing their lives to help others and love God ❤

[@jeanbaptistemarie4322]

I feel call to be a priest ! Please pray for me !!! May God bless your ministrie !!!

[@GoodNewsCatholic]

Greetings from the Archdiocese of Hartford!

[@Rubbercarpet]

I have been through living hell. I have repented and want to work for Jesus. I want to be a Priest. I feel like I won't be able to handle all of the schooling as I have difficulty remembering a lot. I have a college degree and attend Mass just about everyday. This life on earth is so short. People need to know Jesus as I have seen the other side. Eternity is forever and I wish to be with Jesus and spread the word of God. Pray that I take the steps needed and not be so scared.

[@kevinkavanaugh8221]

God can do all. Thus, don’t worry about schooling. For his faithfulness is your shield and rampart both protecting you and giving you not just the strength to get by, but to thrive in all things according to his will!!!

[@carolhensen8005]

Thank you God Bless you,I will keep all of you and your fellow seminarians, Priests throughout the world in prayer and thanksgiving for being Shepherds of Christ…..Amen

[@jimgibson4978]

Its good to see a Jesus focused seminary, I wish we could see more of this conveyed in the Church itself. God bless you and help you in your studies. The Church needs to have future leaders that are Christ focused.

[@COGMOFWOC7]

Will the brother from Connecticut go back to Connecticut? I am discerning seminary in CT, but I might have to go to Saint Charles Borromeow in Philly. God bless you. Please pray for me.

[@jamesbrule4465]

Hey JP good to see you

[@X.F.P.]

Very good and interesting!

[@JohnStokman]

This is awesome!

[@Privatagengent]

I jave decided to become a priest and also percue my other career as well which is law enforcement and medical so far its doing good

[@Hallow334]

Great video! Was that Jeff Cavins I saw walk past the camera??

[@Zack-f6p]

“I’m not surprised they picked you” 😂

[@kesml]

bless you brothers!!

[@casadechris923]

De zinger? I have an app but curious about the textbook -compendium of church documents. I am an American who works in Asia. Going home to the states every couple of years and I meet permanent deacons and I have in-depth theological discussions or an attempt and worried that some dioceses deacon formations are all about dishing out men to fill voids in parishes but are not fully trained. There are currently so many groups affiliated such as with Communion and Liberation and a few others whose member have training weekly that are much more theological prepared. Carry on and Vivat Jesus!

[@GodLovesAll-j8j]

When I was in the seminary pictures of women in magazines in the library were cut out, our mail was read by the rector, no TV, and we had a conference every Saturday when the rector would scream at us and make individuals stand and be humiliated. It was like a cult!

[@areyounatz]

I thought Deacon Brent was that guy from Veritasium.

[@pauljordan4452]

A priest buddy disclosed that seminary does NOT teach you how to handle loneliness.

[@tappanzee3490]

[@donnataylor572]

How many times a day do you have Mass?❤❤❤❤❤❤.

What is the true purpose of a priest?

[@CONDACOCLIPS]

Suggest Zumba classes as part of yearly rec programme

[@junepaologuarin8762]

Yeah, it's the difficult part of prayer. Your attention drifts.

[@elverdavin365]

I always want to be called by God for serving. Monk or Priest or Deacon, i dont care the position. Atleast i can serve as one of the Church.

[@seongsikcho8395]

God bless your way! I also want to become a consecrated religious

[@garykiernan6173]

I spent 4 years in the seminary. Never wore a collar, feel sorry if this vision of church is the future. No emphasis on being part of community and working in the community. Looks like pre Vatican 2.

[@OddTayler]

I watched 9:15-9:20 multiple times hahahahah

Do you get ordained deacon first?

[@Steinstra-vj7wl]

I was raised a Catholic, until…I actually seriously started to read the Bible. We can read in Scriptures that Lord Jesus commanded the Apostles to first preach the Gospel to the Jews, and after also to the Heathen or Gentiles (but never vise versa!). I found out in Scriptures who of the Apostles for the first time went to Rome .. and it wasn't Peter. In the Book of Acts it says in Chapter 28 the following: 16 "And when we came to Rome, the Centurion delivered the Prisoners to the Captain of the Guard: but Paul was allowed to live in a house, by himself, with a Roman Soldier that kept him. 17 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the Chief of the there living Jews together: and when they came together, Paul said to them: "Men and Brethren, though I have committed nothing against our people, our customs, or against our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans 18 who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of guild in me. 19 But when the Jews spoke against that verdict, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had made any accusations against my Nation. 20 For this Hope (the Gospel of Jesus Christ) therefore I have called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because for the Hope of Israel I am bound with these chains. 21 The Chief of the Jews said to Paul: "We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning you, neither any of the Brethren that came from there shewed or spoke any harm of you. 22 But we desire to hear of you what you think: for concerning this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere". The Roman Catholic Church claims that it was Peter who went to Rome first to preach the Gospel there first and that it was Peter who founded the Church there. Question: who lies? God,... or the Roman Catholic Church ? And what about the Letter in the Bible from Paul to the Congregation of Galatians where it says this in Chapter 2? From verse 7 we read the following: 7 "But on the contrary, when they saw that the Gospel of the Uncircumcision (Gentiles) was committed unto me, as the Gospel of the Circumcision (Jews) was unto Peter; 8 for He that gave Peter power effectively to the Apostleship of the circumcision (again: the Jews), the Same was Mighty in me toward the Gentiles. 9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the Grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we (that are Paul and Barnabas) should go unto the Heathen, and they unto the Circumcision. Again dear Catholics: who lies? Gods Word, or the Roman Catholic Church? Bible, the book of Acts, Chapter 5, verse 29 : Then Peter and the other Apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey GOD - rather than man” !! Since the Roman Catholic 'church' claims to be well-read on scriptures, then please point me in the direction of where in the Bible it says to pray to a woman, or with a rosary (praying to May: "Hail Mary full of grace...), or to dead “saints.” Please show me where it says to call any mortal sinful man (the pope) your father. Please show me where the Bible says anything about purgatory, or paying indulgences (buying yourself into heaven - is God corrupt ?). Please show me where Mary was sinless. Why is it that Catholics worship Mary still as a virgin when Lord Jesus had half brothers and half sisters? Please show me where it says to confess your sins to a fellow sinful man so that he may forgive them? Show me the name pope in the Bible? Where does the Bible say the pope is the “vicar of Christ” on earth? Show me where it says that a preacher must be unmarried? It was the pagan ROMAN Emperor Constantine who was in fact the first “Pope” and he didn't allow for the common people to have Bible Scriptures...to keep believers ignorant, as the Catholic Church still does. Later pope’s started the ‘inquisition’ because the book printing machine was invented and people like William Tyndale could spread the Bible to the common people: he was burned to dead for that, and so were hundreds others who did the same and because they denounced the VALSE doctrines of Rome, and they were called heretics and witches by the Roman Catholic “church”- they were tortured, burned to dead - and murdered !!! GET OUT OF THIS FALSE CHURCH !!! The Roman Catholic “church” is a continuation of the old Roman PEAGAN Empire: it never went away as it disguised itself as a Christian Church. Read Revelation, Chapter 17: verse 7 and 8…please read, dear brothers and sisters.

[@Steinstra-vj7wl]

@@porygon5 In your 'logic" one can add anything the world want to Scriptures to be. Typical catholic thinking. But what does God say in the book of Revelation Chapter 22 verse 18 and 19? Please place these verses here - word for word - will you please ?
