00:16When you're called to be a priest, you don't give up your talents or your gifts.
00:22What happens to your talents and your gifts is they become crystallized, purified, sanctified.
00:28The priesthood is a life of sacrifice, it's a life of service, because it's the life of our Lord.
00:33And so it's not simply that of kneeling in the church all day and praying.
00:38It's rolling up one's sleeves and doing things for other people.
00:43Let people know how much God loves them, and that you're not there to dictate, you're not there to rule,
00:49but to serve.
00:50I think that's the main point.
00:52I consider the vocation to the priesthood as the most exciting vocation, the most fulfilling vocation in the whole world.
00:59John Cardinal Connery used to say the priesthood is tough, and it's for real men.
01:04You have to be a real man if you want to become a priest.
01:38You have to be a real man if you want to become a priest.
02:03When I came back to the Lord, that's where I found everything.
02:07That's where I found the treasure in the field.
02:09And it's worth selling everything to buy that field to get that treasure.
02:14To get the pearl of great price hidden in that treasure box of the priesthood.
02:18You know, it's worth it all.
02:22It's worth it all.
