'Our Priests' . . .

I was alerted to this beautiful video via the news feed Zenit. It really is quite inspirational. It was made to accompany the anthem, 'Our Priests' which was written especially for this Year for Priests. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.


You'll find it on Catholic TV here. The music is also available to download on iTunes.

Yes, an inspirational video. How could anyone watch this and NOT be inspired?

A very good choice of pictures too - they really show the multitude of different situations that a priest can find himself in and the diversity of the ministry of a priest.

Thank God for all our priests and may many more young men respond to God's call.

Beautiful. We are so blessed to have individuals amongst us who are willing to give their lives to the priesthood.

I think it particularly highlights the isolation and loneliness that can be part of a priests lot. Although they minister to us, the people, that in itself can be very isolating. Priests are asked to be all things to all people and with no one to share their emotions with, this no doubt can leave them asking questions of themselves without always having the reassurances that most of us need at some time in our lives. An interesting video - I liked the words of the song's refrain highlighting the role of the hands of a priest, with which they 'tend'.

What a beautiful clip. I was struck by the lyric 'their hands ...our saving grace'. We are truly indebeted to our priests for being channels of God's grace.

Cindy has summed it up. I echo her comment - Thank God for our priests and may many more respond to God's call

we must be reminded of this great gift... a short video but so powerful to know that 'our priests' are human, certainly -- but we are led and nourished by the divine work they do
