I wanted to be a priest as a young boy and turned down the chance to study in Rome in the 6th grade. It is my biggest personal regret. Even today my bedroom resembles a chapel. This video brings joy to my soul. Thank you for sharing.
I wanted to become a monk at 8, i even lived inside a Benedictine monastery in new york during high school, but left to join military, i regret it my whole life. My apartment looks like a hermitage and i have monk books everywhere from Cistercian publications
I loved this tour! I visited the Dominican House of Studies last Halloween for the all souls service, which I loved. I’m starting to discern whether to become a Dominican sister so please pray for me :)
The Dominicans, particularly my homeroom teacher, Sister Dominica (irony ik) helped save me here on the Aquinas Campus in nashville ,TN. God Bless - i am truly astonished by the grace and patience they gave to such a lost soul. Thank you from my the bottom of my soul from a heart i once thought would be closed forever.
Wonderful! Thank you from an old Third Order Dominican; I am always supporting you with my prayers (St. Joseph Province). St. Rose of Lima , ora pro nobis.
Wow. Blood brothers who are Dominican brothers as well. How blessed is their mother. I am jealous. Haha. I wish my son would become a holy priest someday but His will be done. God bless all clerics!
Very powerful interaction indeed! God bless you young friars; you give our church a promise of a great future. I enjoyed watching your interview. Quite spiritually stimulating and informative.
I love how traditional everything looks. It's so beautiful. When I visited with the Dominicans 10 years ago, none of them ever wore habits and the place looked so lifeless and sterile.
I wish I knew that you have daily community meditation and that that chapel is open to public to join you in prayer at certain times. A couple of months ago, I was in that area for a vacation.
Thank You. And yes I would mention among those great Dominican Saints a St. Hyacint of Poland for His apostolic work and miracle in Ukraine and Kiev now when the war rages there. Ave florum flos Hycinthe... I used to live and pray by His grave in Cracow.
if our Lord is calling you to the priesthood, pursue it. St Faustina and many others had setbacks but still pursued :) so if it's to be, God will make the way.
I knew a Cistercian monk who joined the order after his wife died and had a family he was very happy in fact I was talking to him one day and he said to me look out at that view I have every day a millionaire couldn’t afford it It was into a part of the garden next to n apple orchard and it was spring time and the daffodils were in bloom. His monastery was in roscrea county Tipperary Ireland the monastery is county Offaly just on the Tipperary border. They have a guesthouse there where anyone can stay for week or so and can call into the church for the prayers Mount St. Joseph Monastery roscrea also you can watch glenstall abbey on church services they have a live camera in their church
@@mixielotthank you so much for your comment. I’m not really able to pursue religious life right now due to family and financial obligations but I’m considering joining the Third Order/Lay Dominican chapter in my area. God bless you.
I love catholic chapels. I visit a Salesian one last weekend for a moment of prayer and it felted very special. I'm protestant but as an artist, I admire your art and liturgy.

The older brother looked proud of his younger brother. Btw, Theology and Sanity is a good rec. I'm re-reading Theology for Beginners by Frank Sheed again.
A couple of observations...as a former benedictine monastic. The use of the term "lay people" came out of nowhere, and it seems odd considering how little the interviewer purports to know. The second thought was touching that ancient book without gloves. Whaaaaat was he thinking? The oil on one's hands interacts with the old paper or parchment, and not in great ways. Two sweet guys though.
I wanted to become a Saint Joseph Province Dominican… (My mentor and spiritual director was Father Val LaFrance, OP - AND - I had four (4) Aunts who were Adrian Dominican Sisters!....

I am now a fully professed Franciscan Brother. I very much remember how hurt & abandoned I felt when I left DC!!!… Now whenever a young man approaches me with the same interests & questions I had… I go out of my way to let him know that everyone has gifts to bring to the church of God… Regardless of race, color, orientation, and education level.

Dominicans are not in fact a monastic order. They are initialy clergy gathered around bishop in a community that adopted some of monastic rules (premonstratens) in order to do a fruitful apostolic work of preaching. Undertaking challenging tasks in the Church they are in a way similar and competing, and complementary order to Jesuits appearing in hard times. Monastic orders can but not neccessary have to do an apostolic work depending on their rules and charisma.
Consecration to God is all about outreach to the poor, feeding the hungry, and rescuing people from personal problems! Living in a priesthood community removes oneself from interaction with those outside the community and is not what Jesus was all about! Jesus was all about contact, living with people, and even having a good Christian family. Living in a community, wearing a white "uniform", and priding oneself in an inherently isolated existence is not what Jesus was all about! Dominicans are a medieval religious order with little connection to the real world. At least the Franciscans are out there with the poor and reaching out to help them!
I really don't like that there can even be teasing within these religious sects. I believe that belongs in the outside world. Not in groups or organizations based on holiness.
Having 2 sons ordained as priests, what a blessing.
I hope they have other siblings so their parents can be grandparents.
@@jowillowcat6044 Maybe they will be like Sts. Zélie and Louis Martin

Please tells us fools what you're doing in you're bedroom that's so enjoyable
Go!!!
Why not revisit it?

I´m a Greek Orthodox in south america but i have a great admiration for the Dominican Order i hope one day we become one Universal Church again
We ARE one universal church; the church never splits!!!
May God speed the day!

How blessed are the Priest.. In Services of our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏
Fr Simon, I live in Cincinnati and loved seeing the Priests a nuns of St Gertrude in Cincinnati when I went to school In the morning
Wow. Blood brothers who are Dominican brothers as well. How blessed is their mother. I am jealous. Haha. I wish my son would become a holy priest someday but His will be done. God bless all clerics!
This was wonderful - thank you for sharing your world with us ❤
this is such a pleasant video. Very well produced too!
Thank you for everything! And thank you for the priests’ parent for raising them so well! God bless you all!
I was taught by Dominicans. Thankyou, wonderful video!
Very powerful interaction indeed! God bless you young friars; you give our church a promise of a great future. I enjoyed watching your interview. Quite spiritually stimulating and informative.
What wonderful young men They lift my sprit listening to them God and Mary enfold them❤
Lord bless you my Brothers in Christ i do really admire the Real Dominican faith brothers
Great to know 2 siblings are both ordained priests. Their parents bred them so properly
@@RussellSilver-tl6tduhhh, what? Rimming? Do you mean the sex act?
Bred them?
They are people, not horses.
bred…☠️
Excuse me?
This was very well done Fathers. I was able to go to the Dominican house of studies this past December and it was wonderful.
I've been a Dominican since I was born!
God bless you Fathers. Don’t forget St. Cecilia!!
What a lovely video, full of information 😊🙏🏻 Blessings from Peru 🕊
Very good information
GREAT❤😊
THANK YOU SO MUCH FATHER.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU
I love how traditional everything looks. It's so beautiful. When I visited with the Dominicans 10 years ago, none of them ever wore habits and the place looked so lifeless and sterile.
Really?The same place?
Thank you for showing us your convent
Thank you my brothers.
My teachers , while attending st john cathedral grade and high school in milwaukee, were Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa wisconsin
Very compelling. I do like the thought of O.P. after my name.
Over sixty-five thousand books is definitely a 'nice collection'!
I loved the "tour". I see a lot of Dominican videos and have wondered what the House of Studies was like. I really enjoyed all the information.
Thank you Fathers for an informative and fun video!
Wish I lived near this center, I’d be there all the time.
Right?? I’d give anything to go to Mass in the big Chapel. That altar!!!!💕🙏📿
I enjoyed this video very much.
GOD bless Fathers
Very well done.
Great video, thanks for sharing and God bless you all with more vocations.
May God Bless 🙏🙏🙏🌹📿
May God bless these Dominicans! I love Frank Sheed and am SO glad to hear his book recommended by one of the priests.
I wish I knew that you have daily community meditation and that that chapel is open to public to join you in prayer at certain times. A couple of months ago, I was in that area for a vacation.
Thank you!
Excellent
Well done!
God bless always❤
Awesome. Love from Catholic Indonesia.
Beautiful. Do the friars live here for many years ?
Thank You. And yes I would mention among those great Dominican Saints a St. Hyacint of Poland for His apostolic work and miracle in Ukraine and Kiev now when the war rages there. Ave florum flos Hycinthe... I used to live and pray by His grave in Cracow.
Your parents are truely blessed wd two priests in the family.

Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio is a wonderful Catholic University founded by the Brothers of Christian Instruction in 1960.
Awesome!! ❤
Good.show.thankyou🇬🇧😇
1:40 NORTH DAKOTA MENTIONED RAHHHHHHHHHHH 🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥
True Brothers ❤️🔥❤️🔥
I LOVE it, the St. Joseph Altar is set up to say the Latin Mass!
Yes, Dominicans seem not to quite get it, in the English speaking world.
A wonderful video. I’d love to join this order but I’m afraid I’m too old :(
if our Lord is calling you to the priesthood, pursue it. St Faustina and many others had setbacks but still pursued :) so if it's to be, God will make the way.

Interesting video. What were your parents’ reaction to two sons entering the priesthood? Do you have other siblings?
Tue parents had no regard for their sons welfare
I love catholic chapels. I visit a Salesian one last weekend for a moment of prayer and it felted very special. I'm protestant but as an artist, I admire your art and liturgy.
How can I join this order please
Was St Martin de Porres a dominican?
He was a Dominican lay brother as a 'cooperator brother.'
PLEASE PRAY FOR ME PLEASE PRAY I NEED PRAYERS BUT CANNOT PRAY.THANK YOU
Wow, this is so really holy. How can i join the society i feel like God is calling me to priesthood

Gawfully
Very cool. I'd love to be a Holy priest, but I'm not strong enough.
Isn’t the Lord your strength? Phil 4:13??
Consecration to God is all about outreach to the poor, feeding the hungry, and rescuing people from personal problems!
Living in a priesthood community removes oneself from interaction with those outside the community and is not what Jesus was all about!
Jesus was all about contact, living with people, and even having a good Christian family.

At least the Franciscans are out there with the poor and reaching out to help them!
Good video but a point, you don't just say Mass, you Offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
I thought Dominicans wore black and white and Benedictines wore all white. No?
Dominican priests are intellectuals and like kitchen equipment. They are deep friars.
😂😂😂
Jesus shut off the volume for me because you are deceived. Mary cannot protect anyone-Only God and Jesus can protect and they send their angels.
The blessed virgin Mary and Saint Joseph protected Jesus.
I really don't like that there can even be teasing within these religious sects. I believe that belongs in the outside world. Not in groups or organizations based on holiness.
Get a life.....teasing, joking....plan something: make God laugh
Jesus laughed. He wants us to be joyful!!!
Actually I like to call dominicans "the jedis of Our Lady" 😅. Blessings.
The library has anti theft sensors lol😂
