Father, I'm 69yr old Grammy of 8. I pray each day That one would follow your example. But I accept God's will My. Son was lost alcoholic, Now by the grace of God and His Blessed Mother, he is 9 ur sober & become a minister. One step st z time. I'm praying for Priesthood but just happy he is here ,sober ,& prays with me. GOD BLESSa ll of you .AMEN
❤️✝️So beautiful ❤️✝️ my prayers for all our beautiful and wonderful Friars and Priests of EWTN as well as All Catholic Priests world wide, May God continue to bless and protect all his chosen, to do his vocation ✝️❤️
I was just accepted into the OFM's for this year. Biggest dream of my life has come true. Truly an undeserved blessing from God. Much love and many prayers of support to those who enter all Franciscan communities! Do not rush your decision, though. My discernment/application period lasted 19 months. Trust in God's timing
After having seen you on EWTN, I was pleased to find you here and learn of your work. Much of what you're saying applies to all of us who are seeking to hear the word of God and bercome closer to Him. Many thanks and blessings, Anthony
Thanks Fr. Patrick! Godwilling I'll still have a chance to do a Come and See with you and the friars! I'm only 28 and I'm sure I'll get that chance to enter a monastery soon!
If I had to start all over again I would join MFVA in a heartbeat. Listen to Jesus when he calls. Do not dismiss His call as I did in my late teens. I even had an invitation letter from Bishop Philip Straling. I'm now 56, and my life has been a mess all because I did not listen to Jesus.
I have felt called that I should've been a religious sister. I didn't listen and I am in the same boat. My life was a mess for years. 57 now... However, we can be contemplative though we're where we are in life.
I’m 37:( God finally broke down my walls about 2 years ago and now I can’t understand how I ever denied him. If this isn’t my path then I’ll just have to find another:) 3rd order and volunteering 🤷 sounds good to me:)
Thank you for making the Inside the Friary videos....I look forward to watching these each time they are uploaded!! Yall are such a blessing....God Bless You!!
I’ve been vocational on this for decades lol ❤❤ I am a friar tho I guess it’s longer then ever or I’m in 1 place at once but lots of different me me it’s almost always and I should listen (Jesus Christ) to the lord and more
Fr.Patrick Mary,thanks for telling me how the friary works I'm also wondering what the cross on the friar's robes mean and what it stands for I like the crosses on the friar's robes-it reminds me that I would like to go to heaven when I die
I have never heard how this actually works-Fr. Patrick tells me on how to become an mfva friar and how long it takes to become an mfva brother-I like the monstrance on their habits the monstrance looks good on brown when it's gold colored
No. Through Jesus. Mary can not save you by the way she banged a lot and was not a virgin anymore. You are a distracting voice until you accept this reality. Jesus is the one and only way. Amen
Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood you cannot have life within you. John 6:53 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. A person should examine himself, and so eat the bread and drink the cup. The Church has the correct teaching on Mary which doesn't sway because of opinion. I hope you come home soon.
I love the idea of a manastic life but I suffer from lack of self control perhaps some kind of device to moritfy the flesh like they use to use in times of old
This is so misleading. I dealt with Patrick and contacted many times. HE claimed 38 was too old, even with my MASTERS, education, Liturgical organ training. etc.
Bruce Malo I wish you the best on your journey and will pray for your discernment. I am sure that if you continue to listen to the still calm voice of God He will lead you exactly where you are meant to be. God bless you brother
Thank you Father Patrick Mary🙏🙏🙏

I need to wait until I am 21!.... More time to pray then :)
Discerning with the MFVAs was one of the best decisions of my life!
you were blessed to walk this path, but God called you to another path. May you be blessed for it.
Will pray for more vocations to the priesthood!
Thank you Fr. Patrick!
God bless you all EWTN 🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely amazing and always a great reminder to pray daily especially in front of the Blessed Sacrament!
true
Thank you Father Patrick. We would be lost without you and other friars/priests who bring us closer to God. Continued blessings.

This is very interesting video-Fr. Patrick is telling me on how a man can become a friar
Great video I learned everything I needed❤ thank you Jesus Christ

It's never to late my friend trust in Jesus and you might experience another calling. Ask his Holy Mother for guidance to her son.

I like the crosses on the friar's robes-it reminds me that I would like to go to heaven when I die
Here,Fr. Patrick tells me what the friars do at Annunciation Friary- this is very interesting on what he's trying to say
I have never heard how this actually works-Fr. Patrick tells me on how to become an mfva friar and how long it takes to become an mfva brother-I like the monstrance on their habits the monstrance looks good on brown when it's gold colored
I need to do this
Awesome. Praying for all young men that they remove the distracting voices ,and hear and answer the call. Through The Blessed Virgin Mother. Amen
No. Through Jesus. Mary can not save you by the way she banged a lot and was not a virgin anymore. You are a distracting voice until you accept this reality. Jesus is the one and only way. Amen

Do a video on Episcopalian Friars.
I would love to join but I don't how to go about it
Thanks Fr Patrick. I learned so much from you especially how we can talk to God so easily. Is your seminary in this location as well?
Do you guys receive mail? If so would it be possible to submit rosary beads for blessing?
nice video
I love the idea of a manastic life but I suffer from lack of self control perhaps some kind of device to moritfy the flesh like they use to use in times of old
I've been looking to find out the definition of M.F.M.V.. WILL YOU TELL ME?
Help me join you father
Where is this congregation present?
We are in Irondale, Alabama.
@@MFVAFriars Do you accept young men from different parts of the word?
Davis Melissa Martinez Edward Johnson Angela
Gonzalez Thomas Walker James Brown Dorothy
Why the ageism ?
Fratello, qual'è il vostro carisma ? Vedo sul tuo saio il disegno di un' ostensorio... avete l'adorazione eucaristica perpetua ?
This is so misleading. I dealt with Patrick and contacted many times. HE claimed 38 was too old, even with my MASTERS, education, Liturgical organ training. etc.
Bruce Malo I don’t understand how this is misleading then? He said in this video that the ages are 21-35
Bruce Malo I wish you the best on your journey and will pray for your discernment. I am sure that if you continue to listen to the still calm voice of God He will lead you exactly where you are meant to be. God bless you brother
