I have to imagine you were literally wanking off when you typed that. You should really try taking your " Nothing better than loving God " to the worst imaginable neighborhoods in America or soup kitchen, hell start with a soup kitchen, and see how long your shit-eating punched in the face happy go lucky Nothing Better than loving God fake self lasts.
You are absolutely right, nothing is important than answering for the Divine call. I am a young priest just 1 year of service. I love my vocation and the service. I work in a remote are in Ethiopia and i love my vocation. Dear bro, i have a very nice choice. Prayer is the key for your response, so take time to pray and u will in my prayers.
Wow nice to see young people in the seminary. I am a newly ordained priest and i love my vocation. Its also a pleasure to see young men in the seminary. People speak about the close of seminaries because of lack of new generation, but after seeing this video i changed my mind that God can call even the youngest of our generation. Praised be God.
@@ericlastima2076 dear friend, its the best choice of life to be answered. And i am happy to hear that you have zeal to become the servant of the Savior. I will pray for you dear. Ready to accompany and help you my brother. Most welcome!!!

@@sacredheartwads I wish I could explore these paths. No one helps me or knows. I'm very beyond the point I even could explore them, I feel damned. I know there's no one coming to help, I'm not like others who get shepherded by their friends, family, parish into this. I have none of the above connected to the Church. I don't even think there is a way within the Church's requirements for me to do this, I can't even go to Confession which means I can't receive the Eucharist which means I'm cut off from God.
Jon, this is outstanding. I hope you can share this with more people. You should be so proud of yourself. Your sense of humor and honesty shines through, and your heart and sincerity is the same since you were one of my students! God Bless!
Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing your faith journey to serve the people of God and the discernment that will continue, every day. Many Blessings, Father Christian+
I know this is unrelated. PLEASE do something to stop the abuse of elephants in Karela 🙏😭😭😭 God bless this young man on his journey to the Priesthood 🙏🏴
I graduated from Borromeo in 1977. It has changed a lot. You're using the High School Chapel? I think I heard St Mary's moved on to the campus also. Times have changed I truly loved that place and everyday that I spent there. God bless you son, stay close to Him.
Thank you, interesting little journey, our prayers are offered up for all seminarians and clergy in our diocese to help us to receive the Eucharist often and to pray for peace and harmony in our Beautiful Catholic Churches……
I'm very pleased 😁 😀😁😀 and inspired by this video and I am going for seminary college by next week. I'm very happy to watch this amazing video. So I have taken some experience. Thanks a lot 🤠🤠🤠. ❤❤❤
Well done for following your path. Reading the holier-than-thou comments on this video, I understand why Pope Francis doesn't like the TLM. It seems to attract a culture of superiority and self-righteousness. This video has serious moments, but also fun. Life has both
You seem to have so much life is ahead of you. Enjoy it. What will praying so much get you ? I was an EMT, 911 dispatcher, CNA, ive helped so many in real life that praying would never do.
✝️ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Hallelujah. Amen.
Well done on producing this excellent video showing what life in your seminary is like. I hope that it will help to foster more vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Wishing you and your fellow priests continued good health and happiness in your very important work of spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ. . Warm wishes from Ireland.
“…Grant them the wisdom, understanding, and strength they need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Inspire them with the vision of your Kingdom…” USCCB
Jon, thank you for sharing and making this great video, of your daily life as a seminarian! You made it very special and also enjoyable. I also found out that you and I have something in common, besides our deep love for Jesus and h is Blessed Mother .......I can't swim, either! I had a very dear childhood friend, Fr. Gary Weisnberger, who saved my life, when I was drowning in the deep end of a swimming pool, when I was a 16 year old minor seminarian. He'd always say to me: "Charlie, you're a great swimmer, alright - just like a ROCK, straight to the bottom!" RIP, my dear friend Fr. Gary, who died last Sept. 4th of terrible mouth cancer. Gary and I grew up in Kingston, Washington, on the Puget Sound! God bless you, Jon! Peace and much joy, Bro. Charles Pratt, O.H.
I never thought of seminarians commuting; I always thought they lived on campus. Anyway, it's heartwarming to see you have so much fun. It's nice to see that seminarians can be both students and boys at the same time. But you must have more than once class per day...
Hello brothers and sisters,I don’t want to sound corny. But I am 14 and I am currently an alter server, God is pulling my arm so hard to become a priest that he’s pulling it off!😂😂😂 But seriously, I searched up these type of videos to catch a glimpse of life in a seminary, and it is amazing! I think I am making a great decision here, but I ask for all of your prayers and I will also pray for you. I just want the strength to destroy Satan and to live a life for Christ! Amen brothers and sisters!🎉🎉🎉
I write to my diocese about my desire to explore my vocational calling and hear nothing back from them... very sad. I don't have any Catholic connections anymore, not family, not friends. I just want to give it all to God and I'll never know if this call is real or not. It's probably not, long story, but I still have the desire but no one in the Church helps me to explore it.
Sorry to hear that! Definitely check out the Diocese of Cleveland Vocation Office and contact them with any questions you may have. www.dioceseofcleveland.org/offices/clergy-religious/vocations-seminaries
My experience has been really good but I'd suggest having a spiritual director and through him you'll get all the connections you need. Peace be with you
Being a former seminarian, the young men who last in the seminary are the athletes! Being artistic and in a Franciscan seminary, I was not comfortable and found a bit of persecution for my lack of athletic ability! A nervous breakdown got me kicked out of the seminary and it was the best thing that happened to me. I found out that once you became comfortable in the seminary, you stayed and became a priest. Meanwhile, having a family which is something all Christians need to do is forgotten! Show me a priest that will break with his order once they are ordained???? Yes, I am saying that many priests are "trapped" in their vocation and the church needs to modernize and let priests get married!!!
It is not normal for an 18 year old to go to a pre-seminary college at 18! Go to a real college and live in the world. If you come out of that with your vocation intact, you can serve God in the real world.
The biggest issue for me with modern day Novus Ordo seminaries (and I experienced this when I was in the seminary) was the lack (and often ban) on seminarians wearing clericals. You want men to grow into holy priests? Then let them dress like it.
@Ants or Grasshoppers. Are you a priest now ? May I know under Vatican or SSPX ? I agree with your comments that they need to wear clericals. There is nothing to be ashamed of.
@@jeremiahong248 no I am not a priest now. I got sick of the liturgical abuses and doctrinal errors on a daily basis. Just a simple husband and father now. God bless!
@@SantosdeMuerte there are no doctrinal errors in the Church, never have been, never will ever be!!! You are caught confused between the world and its stupidity!!!
Go watch the Institute of Christ the King Seminary and the Society of Saint Pius the X Day in the life of a seminarian. Vastly different much more order.
@@sacredheartwads I don't think people mean it as an insult. I was in the Novus Ordo seminary for a number of year before I went to the TLM, and the differences (at least in Australia) are stark and quite profound. I think it's best to produce a video and image that shows the serious transcendent nature of the faith. I don't doubt that your heart and intentions for this video are in the right place. God be with you.
@@SantosdeMuerte Yes, I completely agree with you and in no way do I mean it as an insult. Just thought the difference in the TLM seminaries and the Novus Ordo were very different. The TLM has changed my life.

I saw a someone with long hair in your Saint paul class. I am interested if it's just a guy with long hair or a woman and if it's a woman what is she doing there. I don't want to judgemental because I had a priest tell me that even though I a guy anyone who looks at me from the back will think that I am a woman even though I am a men.
Very Protestantism. 😢. Looks too much in the world! I highly suggest St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary in VA. You will receive ALL of the minors & majors to the priesthood! This is a “Society Seminary” seminary of the world. People are moving away from the V2/ NO to the TLM. Please check out St. Thomas of Aquinas Seminary
I agree. My diocese recently said that they had zero seminarians! Zero! However, the TLM Mass in the same city is booming and I have heard the Christ the King seminary is growing daily. I don’t know why someone would go for the Vat II seminary but maybe it’s just not for me to comprehend. I wish this young man all the best!
The tone is completely silly, embarrassingly so. Head for a traditional seminary (FSSP, ICKSP, SSPX) if you want real Catholic priestly formation. And they wear cassocks.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee life is great in the Seminary hooooooo ray, hey you guys woot woot, what you dont hear about is the seminarian who got busted smoking pot, or the seminarian who quit, an on an on. what you never get told is that the Catholic Church doesn't help you get back on your feet if the decision is to kick you out of the seminary for any reason, or you decide to leave for any reason. No one tells you to have a back up plan just in case. it's just all praise the lord and weeeeeeeeeee, and when shit hits the fan it is all, wooooooo k well ill pray for you, byeeeeeee. there needs to be a day in the life of the Catholic who is poor , living on the street and doesn't know if they will have anything to eat today, or when they will get to take a shower and sleep in a bed. If you want a happy go lucky sun shine channel, make it private so people in the public cant take a giant dump on your sunshine.
Very true what u wrote... These clips are so Fake... All trying to prove how holy they are... They need to get dirty with the homeless marginalised prostitues.... They will find God in the gutter not in a cathedral with smoke and incense.
Why are Catholic priests so goofy and charismatic. I find it hard to see Christ in a giggly, barely pubescent, spiritually shallow jokester. The Priesthood, and preparation for such, should be taken with greater fear and trembling.
That's a bit harsh. We can't tell what he's truly thinking or what's in his heart although he seems very likeable and kind....and he is young & still developing/discerning. Although it made me stop and think that the role of the priest above all else is to get souls to Heaven, and that a priest has to be held to a higher standard.
@@williamkelly8026 You're right, I don't know what is in his heart, or what he is thinking. He does also seem very likeable and kind. That which I find to be spiritually harmful is the lack of spiritual bearing present within the identity of the Roman Catholic Priesthood for many priests today. This issue I do believe may start at seminary. Men who are called by God to lead his flock are entrusted with the salvation of His people, this isn't a light task. While a priest ought be humble and relatable, he ought not confuse himself as an assistant or advisor, he is the Icon of Christ for his flock. When the flock is suffering from worldliness and materiality, the priest is then responsible for calling the people from a recognition of the fallen world, back towards a mindfulness and recognition of God. This is chiefly done through his office in the form of the sacraments. All of this requires an extremely sincere and mature spiritual bearing which ought to be approached with fear and trembling.
@@jeremiahong248 are people still going on with that tired - and repeatedly debunked - line that the SSPX is schismatic. Pope Benedict clarified that issue early in his papacy, try to keep up
@@SantosdeMuerte The brutal truth is that the SSPX is indeed still schismatic because they didn't fulfill the conditions laid down by Pope Benedict XVI to lift the schism. So many people think that by making the offer, the schism is no more.
@@jeremiahong248 I'm sorry that is not correct. Even during and after the year of mercy further faculties were extended to the SSPX by Pope Francis. He himself has confirmed that there is an "irregular canonical status" though that is very different from being schismatic.

A Day in the Life of a Breeding Station and Training Ground of the Catholic Church's (as per Andrew Greeley) "Lavender Mafia."

No one tells you to have a back up plan just in case. it's just all praise the lord and weeeeeeeeeee, and when shit hits the fan it is all, wooooooo k well ill pray for you, byeeeeeee. there needs to be a day in the life of the Catholic who is poor , living on the street and doesn't know if they will have anything to eat today, or when they will get to take a shower and sleep in a bed. If you want a happy go lucky sun shine channel, make it private so people in the public cant take a giant dump on your sunshine.
Very true what u wrote...
These clips are so Fake...
All trying to prove how holy they are...
They need to get dirty with the homeless marginalised prostitues....
They will find God in the gutter not in a cathedral with smoke and incense.
This kid is a Seminarian? God help is.
Why are Catholic priests so goofy and charismatic. I find it hard to see Christ in a giggly, barely pubescent, spiritually shallow jokester. The Priesthood, and preparation for such, should be taken with greater fear and trembling.
Victor, would you like to discuss this idea with someone? Feel free to call me at (330) 336-3049 Ext. 2008 and I'd be happy to talk :)
That's a bit harsh. We can't tell what he's truly thinking or what's in his heart although he seems very likeable and kind....and he is young & still developing/discerning. Although it made me stop and think that the role of the priest above all else is to get souls to Heaven, and that a priest has to be held to a higher standard.
You are a legalistic hipocrite
@@williamkelly8026 You're right, I don't know what is in his heart, or what he is thinking. He does also seem very likeable and kind.
That which I find to be spiritually harmful is the lack of spiritual bearing present within the identity of the Roman Catholic Priesthood for many priests today. This issue I do believe may start at seminary. Men who are called by God to lead his flock are entrusted with the salvation of His people, this isn't a light task. While a priest ought be humble and relatable, he ought not confuse himself as an assistant or advisor, he is the Icon of Christ for his flock. When the flock is suffering from worldliness and materiality, the priest is then responsible for calling the people from a recognition of the fallen world, back towards a mindfulness and recognition of God. This is chiefly done through his office in the form of the sacraments. All of this requires an extremely sincere and mature spiritual bearing which ought to be approached with fear and trembling.
@@sacredheartwads Thank you for the offer, but my position in regards to this idea has been summarized in my response to @William Kelly .
No cassocks - no real seminary!
They receive cassocks during first year of theology.
That Seminary is like a nightclub compared to St. Thomas Aquinas in Virginia SSPX.
I had the same thought. Even the tone and flavour of the video. It's more of a boy's summer camp (or a ninth club as you say) than a seminary.
@Built Beast. SSPX is schismatic. Modern day self righteous Pharisees. Go to FSSP and ICKSP instead.
@@jeremiahong248 are people still going on with that tired - and repeatedly debunked - line that the SSPX is schismatic. Pope Benedict clarified that issue early in his papacy, try to keep up
@@SantosdeMuerte The brutal truth is that the SSPX is indeed still schismatic because they didn't fulfill the conditions laid down by Pope Benedict XVI to lift the schism. So many people think that by making the offer, the schism is no more.
@@jeremiahong248 I'm sorry that is not correct. Even during and after the year of mercy further faculties were extended to the SSPX by Pope Francis. He himself has confirmed that there is an "irregular canonical status" though that is very different from being schismatic.
