I am discerning. Will diffenitely ask prayers of my fellow catholics.
Watching a video like this is a good place to start! God bless you man!
Good
I gotcha bro
praying you become a Minim priest
Greetings Asger Djernis Khan, may the Triune God who brought you into existence, with a unique and extraordinary act of love, and who calls you to himself, bless you in every way and give you the gifts of prudence and wisdom, so you may find your vocation.
I love the way he talks and the long pauses he has to make sure he says what he means I found it very relaxing
Thanks for having on a fellow Franny student! I think we need to have more conversations with people of my generation, Gen Z, about how the way we have approached discernment the past couple of decades has worked or not
What a thoughtful and outstanding young man, thank you Edem for sharing your thoughts with all of us!
After listening to you, you have the heart of a priest, Edam. Go for it brother. We need good men like you. Discern wisely, but it’s clear that you have been called. I’ll be praying for you, my brother. 😊🙏🏻🔥
Phenomenal video and phenomenal talk! Edem you will be in my prayers! I also am a Junior in university (Virginia Tech) discerning the diocesan priesthood (Diocese of Paterson, NJ). It always is amazing to hear stories like yours that affirm that The Lord may be calling me to be His priest, as un-worthy as I am. Let us pray for more brothers who want to fight for Her Holy Church as diocesan priests, may St. John Vianney pray for us! And may we also pray for women to hear the call to be mothers of the Church as well, may Mary pray for them! Keep me in your prayers brother, there will be an amazing generation of priests and religious soon!!! Vivat Jesus!
Greetings Eric Hasenbein, may the Triune God who brought you into existence, with a unique and extraordinary act of love, and who calls you to himself, bless you in every way and give you the gifts of prudence and wisdom, so you may find your vocation. Let us also seek the intercessions of St. John Vianney for you now.
Praise be to God for this young man. He’s inspired me to pray not only for him but all those discerning the priesthood and for priests themselves. ☦️🙏🏻
Please continue these talks. They’ll equip many people to evangelize and draw many to the faith. Thank You Matt!
Absolutely humbling to see someone roughly your own age being this well spoken and mature. Definitely the stuff priests are made of!
People laugh when I say that Catholicism is the most "Metal" religion. Our God couldn't be contained by death, defeated Death, and strode into Hell and took their keys. And we keep the bones of the Champions of our Faith on display. I love being rebellious as a Catholic.
The most beautiful story about God's calling to the Priesthood I have listened to... thank you! I appreciate so much what you have said, especially the silence, the music of your choice and the beauty of the Catholic Mass... the liturgy and the heart beat of our Church, the Eucharist, the order etc. and much more, lovely!
Thank you very much for having this special man, Edem on your show. It was an absolute pleasure to have listened to him, sharing with so much passion and honesty. God bless you on your journey forward... you will be a wonderful priest Edem. 👐🌹🕯🕯🕯🎶
Praise Jesus for your yes to Jesus---to the seminary you will make a blessed and holy priest.
This is my favorite podcast because Edem is literally me, from discerning priesthood, to his age, to his continual struggles. If I could have coffee with this guy I would. Too bad I live in NC.
Matt, you may not see this, but I appreciate your statement that morning prayer is an offering. It is for him to recieve glory first everyday, not for me. That's why I pray the Modeh Ani and the Liturgy of the hours, at least in the morning before anything else.
Its war time.
Agh this is so great to see! Edem is such a good guy! Love to see that franny representation
Thank you for sharing your wonderful story Edem. God bless you on your journey towards priesthood!
This guy speaks SO well.
I am guessing you are an American.Only Americans make these comments when a certain hue are deemed articulate. I literally scroll until I see the comment just to laugh.
@@madgiemadgie9128 I commented this because I appreciate when people don’t use filler language like “um” and “like,” and can maintain a good pace to their speech, as this man does. I don’t know why you’d imply that his “hue” has anything to do with it.
@@andym5995 Ok, I sincerely apologise then.
I like a lot the reference to Navy Seals. I also feel a lot of sympathy and interest about special forces and Edem's words helped me realise where it comes from and what's beneath this... longing. Thank you for this interview - I like that there are also some shorter ones, not just huge 5h bits :D
I am a teenager and am feeling called to the diocesan priesthood, as pusillanimous and unworthy as I am. Please pray for me as I search for Christ's call for me, and I pray that you all might hear and accept Christ's call for you as well.
This was amazing. Thanks to you both - and please have this chap back on in a few years to hear his updates and experiences!
God bless Edem. What a just thoughtful, genuine good guy
Brilliant interview, thank you both!!
Way to represent the school Edem!
Sr Clare Crockett- All or Nothing. Beautiful conversion.
Yes, I believe Edem meant to say Clare Crockett, not Mary Crockett. She was with the Siervas del Hogar de la Madre in Spain. Glad someone else caught it. Sister Clare, pray for us!
This dude will make a great parish priest, go ICKSP please and come to the UK Edem..
Just an awesome conversation! Eden has such an attractive way of communicating his ideas and thoughts, and so introspective
Great show
Thank you both.
Thankyou for this lovely chat!
This was very helpful! Thank you!
Yayyyyyy Edem! I haven't arrived at the part where you give the Honors Class a shout out, but I'm looking forward to it:)
Love this
Nice to see a fellow Hoosier. We grew up about 20 minutes away from each other. Pretty neat.
My patron saint is St. Benedict Joseph Labre too!
Thank you, great video
I know this video is a year old . For what feels like over a year it seems I have prayed to obtain an answer, whether to stay with apologetics or enter into the priesthood. Last week I was reading passages in the gospel of John then went into Mass this past Sunday with the same exact passages and then came to some "conclusions" over the weekend and then with this video nailing on the same conclusions. I'm waiting for the fall to finish the applications for the priesthood.
fantastic interview
Edem hit the nail on the head about poor Catholic formation. This is where the Neocatechumenal Way have it locked in. Catechism classes basically start from birth to death attendance is EVERY week. They have entire families who take "vows" to move somewhere on the planet with a priest to live and evangilze for a set period of time, it's like mormons except the whole family does the mission.
Neocatechumenal doctrine isn’t consistent with Catholic theology. They repudiate the traditions of the church
@@timothy1168 The past 3 popes and the current approve the neo-cats. Their success with high number of priests and young taking vows as nuns is a testament to their success. They had teething problems but Benedict XVI responded with a stick and they complied.
Brad is right i learn in all my understanding that " Prayer "
is the thing you need to become a Saint , and im not talking just doing a daily Rosary which is the norm , but the Devil is not just goin to sit back and watch you bring down his empire down hes goin to fight you to your death bead until you stop praying sending you back into bondage .
If you want to grow or be in good standing we must continue to practice and Prayer is the Main thing thats goin to elevate you to become the Saint you were destined to .
Dr of the Church - Saint alphonsus liguori talks on prayer 11 hrs 😅
Detachment 🔎Dr st John of the Cross
11 hr video on how to detach step by step 🤯 that can scare many away .
Dont be scare is not an option just continue to pursue Sanctity and grow .
Theres always a way that can help the little way another Dr of the Church St Therese the little flower another option.
The idea of diocesan priests being isolated compared to religious orders, how do we help with that? Will we one day in the United States start to see monasteries popping up? I feel that that could be a huge support system.
I never get notifications or emails for Pints live broadcasts anymore.
Another great teacher various topics
Father John A. Hardon SJ
🔎Search for his teaching on Prayer online
The video is called Priest need super natural help.
Matt, please make less jokes about Mental Health. It is a serious issue. Especially since the isolation of the Pandemic.
He referenced the divine office that used an older translation of the bible. Where can I find that?
"Emily Matienzo" made a comment regarding Edem's skin colour which I thought was really shallow.
Talk more about age of empires
Can Edem be my friend please?
I'll ask
Edem reminds me of a younger version me If I was smart.
1:26:10 Singing protestant songs at Adoration??? As a former protestant, that's... that's kinda icky. I don't blame you
He got a DUI this March - not a model student.
Every Saint was a sinner at some point.
@@808asianmurican too soon and fradd, if he knew about it, should have brought this up
I wish I was a model student too. I got pulled over for speeding the other day and I lied to my brother yesterday. Pray for me @jakemiller250
@@jakemiller250 he pointed out numerous times how he struggles with sin. I don't know him, so I can't judge him either way. I just pointed out that many Saints struggled mightily throughout their lives. Maybe he will eventually not become a priest.
@Jake Miller Your comment makes me like him more. He is a sinner who keeps trying, just like the rest of us.
Is anyone else aware that Edem was arrested for drunk driving in March of 2022?
Everyone makes mistakes but this timeline is shady to me, to be on a podcast hailed as a good example and candidate for priesthood while only a matter of months earlier commiting this crime and sin. Curious what the circumstances were. Obviously there can be forgiveness (duh, praise God!) But I am concerned for Edem's spiritual health.
Also, maybe I'm being nitpicky, but his LinkedIn profile needs updating. His cover photo looks like he is still recovering from his glamor days.
Edem, God bless you, but know this: spiritual power is not found in liturgies and sacraments. It comes from faith in Christ and the renewing power of the Spirit.
Rome needs reformed. Men standing on top of pillars are not saints. There is no spiritual benefit offered in asceticism (read Colossians- "do not handle etc). All of the members of Christ's church are saints by the mercy of God so long as we continue to the end.
Blessings,
