This is “Priesthood Sunday,” aimed toward raising awareness and respect for the priesthood. Many aren’t big fan of these Sundays, as if the liturgical themes and biblical readings weren’t enough… but anyway…

In this video, Fr. Basil Cole, O.P. pithily considers whom God calls to the priesthood and how. In addition to being a highly regarded mission and retreat preacher, and the current prior of St. Gertrude in Cincinnati, OH (which houses our currently bustling novitiate), Fr. Cole is the author of The Hidden Enemies of the Priesthood, which Archbishop (Cardinal elect) Raymond Burke loved so much that he bought a copy for all his then seminarians of St. Louis.
