Are you called to be a priest?

This video, coming from the Congregation for the Clergy, is most inspiring. Give them a watch, or direct someone you know who may be called to the priesthood to check them out. I suspect many young men will find this video not only inspiring, but perhaps even compelling.







HM Television, who have produced the video, are saying:

HM Television, together with the Holy Sees Congregation for the Clergy, presents Alter Christus, a fast-paced film on the many aspects of the priesthood in the life of the Church. Centered on the life of St. John Vianney, the topics covered range from the Priestly Identity to the Sacraments, from Celibacy to the Mission.

My own comment is simply this - perhaps there is an over emphasis on the priest as Alter Christus and perhaps more should be made of the priest in persona Christi but it's a minor-ish point given the quality and reach of the video. It's excellent on the supernatural aspects of priesthood.
