Come Follow Me

How to discern a vocation to the priesthood - a tape series by Father Brett Brannen

According to a report recently released by the Vatican, although there has been a noticeable increase in vocations to the priesthood worldwide, the crisis isn't over. In certain parts of the world the number of men being ordained to serve the spiritual needs of the People of God has risen significantly, but many more priests are desperately needed. Clearly this can only be accomplished by fostering vocations. So what can be done to help open worldly hearts and minds to receive the Lord's call to the priesthood?

Physical, Spiritual, Sound Advice

In this timely and much-needed tape series, Come Follow Me-How to Discern a Vocation to the Priesthood, Fr. Brett Brannen, the Vocational Director of the Diocese of Savannah, GA, offers practical, spiritually sound advice for Catholic men who truly wish to seek God's will in their lives. Fr. Brannen candidly shares insights from his own personal journey to the priesthood to help others understand the complex, and sometimes difficult, period of discernment. He also describes the sacramental life and day-to-day lifestyle of the diocesan priest. From the rich theology behind "vocation" to current issues surrounding the Church's ordained ministry, this set gives a comprehensive overview for men at all levels of discernment.

Fostering vocation

But this set isn't only for those seeking to discern a vocation. The love for Christ and His Church must be continually fostered and properly nourished by teachers, parents and all who are in contact with the young. Fostering vocations entails being equipped to offer council and guidance. The information on Come Follow Me may be an answered prayer for someone special in your life when they discover Fr. Brannen's insights on the priesthood: How a burning love for the Eucharist, a tender devotion to Mary, the Mother of Priests, and a zeal for souls are key ingredients to recognize one's priestly call and to persevere in the sacred vocation. For as the saying goes, "A priest who prays stays a priest."

The necessary tools of discernment

Brannen's presentations, originally recorded during a discernment retreat, provide all the tools necessary for men to discover whether or not God may be leading them to become "teachers of truth".
