The Summons

[@stevemaloney3453]

I am actively discerning a call to the priesthood. I am 60 years old, please pray for me! I have responded to this call with a resounding YES!

[@silvaroo]

This song helped me through my tough times. Right time I’m going through a big heartbreak and some depression, but I know Jesus will be there each step of the way ❤ Bless the Lord 🙏

[@edreyes3442]

Yes He will. He will wipe every tear from your eyes and fill your heart with His peace. I know because He did that for me. He has you.

[@mariselagarcia7133]

This song seems timeless! I am 71 years old, and Jesus seems to be asking me this now, again 🙏🕊

[@randysquires8362]

STILL...

[@rparis4285]

Beautiful song.😊

[@g8rboy001]

We had this song sung today at the Basilica Cathedral of St Augustine Florida. We had our Rite of Election and I am in process of becoming Catholic. Will be baptized and confirmed this Easter during the Easter Vigil. I have been summoned and answered God's call. I will follow Him. I will see things and people much differently thru the way God wants me to be. My life will never be the same. Not with God and Jesus in charge

[@chrisshoemaker3855]

Going through the RCIA process to become a member of the Catholic faith. I couldn't be happier and grateful that the Lord has chosen me to join the church

[@shrinkquit]

Chris Shoemaker I am so thrilled and happy for you! God bless you along such a wonderful journey. You will find lasting hope, peace, and love. Welcome to Christ's family friend! You are never alone.

Welcome home, brother! May God bless you always!

[@maryannthereseruelle9309]

Chris Shoemaker, that is so great...I went to RCIA 3 times, once as a Sponsor. What year did you write this? Welcome Home...I have tears in my eyes right now for you, VICTORY is yours now! As you get deeper into the Church, you will see how rich it truly is and how we follow the Bible so very closely!

[@impasse0124]

I heard this for the first time at church today and thought it was so beautiful that I looked it up when I got home! I'm discerning my vocation to the religious life and the lyrics really struck a chord in me. Thank you for posting it. Peace and blessings!

[@utbanker]

Read your heart. You'll find your answer.

This song helped me in my discernment to the priesthood. I'm now getting ready to start seminary in August.

[@marieyvesannedesrosiers7549]

Thanks be to God

[@detour7102]

[@oliviawellsedits]

[@isaiah3872]

I hope your seminary training is going well. May the Holy Cross be your light and may the devil never be your guide.

[@rebeccamcalister4105]

I heard this in Mass today, so Beautiful. Praise You Lord Jesus 🙏 ❤️ Thank you for Your many blessings

[@cecilb.brooks2739]

Amen 🌟🕊🌟 🙏 ❤

[@tonyablades3002]

This song is so moving. When we was planning my brother's funeral the priest asked me to pick the songs and I had all the songs I wanted but one. I opened up the page to this song and I read the words and said this is it. It was so fitting for what we were facing. Love this song.

[@irish00104]

That's beautiful, thanks for sharing Tonya

[@noahdenzel]

Amen to that!!!

[@theresakappes9284]

❤ we played this at our fathers funeral mass. Also I tried to click on the thumbs up button. I accidentally clicked on the down button. I think I fixed. I’m so sorry. I hope it’s correct

[@michaelleenheer698]

This song is so moving. I' m trying to decide what to do with my time after retirement and the message in this song is very helpful.

[@johnfiske6672]

I heard this song twenty years ago. I was in deep trouble. I returned to church and worked as Sexton, a month later the revron ask if I had a pass port, I said yes. I got the pass port four years prior and used that once. She sent me Honduras to help build a church , and soccer field at the lamb institute orphanage. I was never the same. Blessings.

[@dcnnick]

God bless you friend...

[@proftheol]

I first heard this profound hymn while presiding at a Mass for college students. It utterly floored me. John Bell's text rings of grace from beginning to end. Thank you for this fine, prayerful rendition.

[@kaitlyndoucet2151]

Honestly I’m not even Catholic (I’m baptist) but I first discovered this song at the beginning of quarantine in March and it’s something so poignant and powerful to me that it gets me pumped up for Jesus. I really, really love this song.

[@reubenpilli6549]

Hi Kaitlyn, The hymn is really beautiful indeed. It was written by a Scottish Minister Rev. John Bell, who belonged to the Church of Scotland (of the Calvinist Presbyterian reformed tradition). He was not Catholic.

[@The123456789abcdefg1]

I am moved to tears by this hymn. Lovely rendition

[@CVF72]

me too...always

[@rolandblas7381]

I just attended two Sundays ago at the Parish of St. Mary's of the Assumption, Whittier, California and the cantor sung this beautiful song "Summons" surely touched my heart after my open heart surgery just three weeks prior at the Good Samaritan Hospital, Los Angeles. This song brought PEACE within my SOUL.

[@karenjordan6066]

This gives me chills and tears at the same time.

[@Pashadog2]

This is another very moving and inspirational hymn for me. Thank you to John Bell, the Iona Community, and to Robert Kochis. Beautiful!

[@ariaschank4088]

Beautifully sung it moved me to tears. I have been questioning if I am even on the right track spiritually. Thank you

[@DominicManatadOfficial]

❤️

[@memebush4502]

I sang the first part of this song at the graduation of my nursing school. I had no idea what I got into when I started the school. I just believe that God asked me directly that day during Mass when I sang along this song and I said ... YES!

[@user-ev4ne9be9j]

my favorite hymn of all time. love this so much. God bless anyone reading this❤️❤️

[@holycrossagdao2558]

This song is very beautiful. It really helps one to discern those who want to enter into the seminary and in the convent.

[@jmj1546]

I'm having a hard time at work....than I hear this song in mass today...open my song book read the words & wow I was holding back tears

[@nguyenthien3256]

Thank god for being a person that is always beside me for all hard times in my life. Without him, I cannot complete what I have done now. I always scare and anxious when I feel not comfortable and feel how to limit my ability is. But God is always with me and supports me, I am not doing anything alone. Please guide me through the uncertainty and use me as your tool to ease the pain of people in the world.

[@revfatheroluoma7272]

But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family.

[@margarettumelty1860]

This is the most touching Christian Hymn I have ever heard.. It reaches to the depths of my heart and spirit.. sublimely beautiful. "will you let me life be grown in you and you in me". "will you let me answer prayer in you and you in me".... ..goosebumps.

[@johne6081]

+Margaret Tumelty -- traditional Scots melody. I am looking forward to hearing it this Sunday, under the leadership of our new choir director.

This is a beautiful song! I can play it on piano and I sing every time! I can cry about this too! :') Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ! (It's Lent, so I can't say Alleluia.)

[@richardturner6981]

They sang this hymn in church this morning and i just wanted to hear it again. Beautiful!

[@elliekaris3832]

I cry every time I hear this song! So beautiful.

[@emmanueldeva5224]

I heard the song many times but it touched my heart on this Sunday Mass at St.Joseph''s Church., Highland Creek. After Mass I approached the Pianist to know the title of the song. The summons. Thank Jesus. Amen.

[@aileenbordelon7884]

Such a beautiful song! I am in love!

[@stephenfarthing9465]

Speaks much of the uncertainty that the whole planet faces but reminds us that both faith and hope is never diminished in the face of that uncertainty.

[@daveg655]

This song would always bring me to tears when I heard it because I was going thru a really difficult period of my life. It will always be one of my favorites :) Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@erinfrittata8492]

This is my favorite hymn, it really digs deep :)

[@ctplr2btfly]

Songs are such a powerful way for God to speak to us and us to Him. Prayer is a conversation between us and God... that means more than just us sending up requests to Him for Him to 'fix' things, but to BE IN RELATIONSHIP with Him. Conversation is being quiet and letting Him speak now and then... sometimes that is best done in the still quiet of silence... sometimes it is in the quiet reading of His Word... and sometimes it is in songs such as this.

[@ryantolliver7737]

[@ryantolliver7737]

This song is so beautiful. It makes me exited to continue on the journey to holiness we are all on, and that exitedness can be hard to grasp at times. It gives me goosebumps.

[@ivslove9658]

Today I went to visit the holy sacrament with lots of worries and questions, I asked him how can I be a holy and opened the music book right after and this is song was his answer.

[@janedenton5206]

I was brought up as a catholic- I returned to the church via the choir as an alto and this song guided me through tough times to inspire and be inspired. Singing this song when sunlight came through the alter stain glass windows was so peaceful. and echoes in the beat of my heart forever. x

The voice, the words, the scenes = Inspiration.❤💤

[@Zachary-ht2so]

This is my favorite Mass song that isn’t something seasonal like silent night. I am so glad the Lord has given us the opportunity to worship him in this way with music to show his love and bring out emotions.

[@marciasmith6055]

Very comforting as it sets me searching my heart! I recall experiences during my RCIA preparation period, and believe I definitely had a call to holiness! 'Apparitions" in the History in two separate occasions; full frontal view of Christ's face ( according to representations in iconography) , and profile if the Blessed Mother! I knew The God of all the Earth was saying "welcome!"

[@roniannecarlson]

Christ Church Eureka CA will be singing this hymn tomorrow! It is a lovely hymn.

[@melindariola4323]

Very superbly sung; w/ beautiful reminders for us to hear God's own best intentions for us!!!! Of Course, I'm very quite positively impressed by the beautiful lyrics and God's gift of His talent as you sing and share His kind of message--only as you are able in "The Summons". Please know how I do love your rendition---for me as God would have me be equally grateful that I have encounter w/ His own voice sung thru yours. I will ever remain so grateful to Creator God and to you for this; and look forward to any future songs you can share-please do!!

[@78madge]

I feel exactly the same, there is two of us then ;) but lets don't give up on this world, it's a Gods will we have to live here, and do good, and show others it is possible. HE did so much for me and my family recently, I just want to thank Him, I pray whenever I can, and offer my day for Him. It is possible to bring a real change through praying, even if we cannot see it yet. Not even a little pray goes nowhere, that's what I believe. Jesus I trust in You.
