God bless you father ❤️ I’ll pray three Hail Mary for you. So beautiful and out of this passing world sermon!

Thanks!

I love God. I am a faithfully married man with two beautiful children, so I have been fruitful and multiplied as God has commanded. I am a pulmonary and critical care physician and I serve the community and earn an honest wage as God commanded. I found this sermon to be full of pride and lack humility for those who responded to a different command from God than being a priest or nun. I do not believe it is the calling of a priest or nun to pass judgment on who has a more purposeful, holy, and happy life. Nor is it holy to cast down the laity as subordinate to the clergy. I will answer to God and be judged by Him alone. In fact, if all responded as chaste clergy as priests or nuns faithfully, without immaculate conception there would be no fruit to bear and hold dominion over the land.

1 out of 300,000,000 are called to the religious state? That would mean only 1 person in the United States is called. That would mean less than 30 people in the world are called.

I guess the preacher was thinking that there are 8 billion people in the world, , sounds near... and the billions before the New Testament that walked the earth that never heard of Christ, much less religious life

@@jefferyjambon4606 well 1 in 300,000,000 would mean there are only 27 people called to the religious state. But there are well over 100,000 people in the religious state. The rate was a lot higher in the past. He should explain that statement since it makes no sense, not even close. There would have to been quadrillions of people born before the New Testament.

Thank you for the beautiful homily, Fr Casey.

Dude, you are way off saying 1 in 300,000,000 are called. St John Bosco estimated about 1 in 4. Another saint, 1 in 3. From the first disciples of Jesus, which were no more than1,000,000 before He died (and surely not even those many), at least 13, if not over 100, had the calling. A claim such as the one you made would suggest that none of the congregations that exist, not even your own, should in fact exist, for they are or would be made exclusively or almost exclusively of people who were never called to religious life to begin with.

Servants? Who has servants? Lol!

I am constantly troubled about my servants! They continually sneak into the wine cellars to steal nips from my good sherry...

Thanks!
