Fishers of Men

Part 1 of video


Part 2 of video


"Come and follow me and I will make you fishers of men"

Today, I came across this 18-minute video/trailer of a DVD encouraging vocations to the priesthood sent to me by my singles community yahoogroups. This can also be viewed from this URL (http://ccc.usccb.org/video/fishers_of_men1.wmv). I know I have only posted about parties and events lately, and I felt that I should share or at least say something about this moving video.

A lot of people accuse the Catholic Church of being too "old" or "traditional" or "passe", unwilling to change with the times. On some aspects, I may half-heartedly agree with some critics, but generally, I understand the wisdom of the theological stance of the Church. The Church is rich with tradition and symbolisms that have carried its faithful throughout centuries. True, it may be an organization built by men, run by men, and can be stained by mistakes made by men. But we cannot deny the deep, profound spirituality and wisdom that the Church has. This very wisdom has sustained many a man's life throughout time. The collective spirituality and insight of the people who make up the Church is a treasure trove that today's individual can revel in. Thus, an individual can very much attain self-realization from the Church's traditions and practices.

This I know and have studied, but unfortunately, this I haven't practiced lately. It's hard to be consistently spiritual in this world I move in.

The video struck me deeply as it reminded me the wonderful friendships I had with my teachers (Jesuits) who acted, not only as my teachers, but also as my mentors, spiritual directors, counselors, attorneys, friends, and guides. I have seen schoolmates/friends who have been called upon to be fishers of men. One moment, they sit next to you in class, an average Atenean. The next moment, they are enveloped in a rich aura of contentment, as they have heeded the "call". I have great respect for these men, who have given up their lives "so that others might live".

Priesthood is not just about celibacy or bachelorhood. It is the sacrificing of worldly pleasures to attain a higher level of self. It is the sacrificing of the self for the greater good. It is the life of service to do the work of God. It is a great sacrifice, one that I think is more difficult to do now given the very selfish culture of today's world.

My world today involves the very things young people enjoy: booze, parties, the fast life. It is a struggle sometimes to stay true to one's self and one's beliefs, and not be carried away by other people's influence. There are many temptations, and these test one's character every time. Rarely do I find a person who has sincerity and depth of character and old-fashioned values. It is always about the latest fashion, the latest music, who is "cool", who has the latest gadget, etc. When I meet a person (and I meet a lot of people, mind you) that has values and character, I cherish this person as a friend and keep him/her. For it is the heart that is important, and not the material trappings that come with it. And for the priests in this world, and those who have heeded the "call", their hearts are the best by far, in my opinion. Cheers to you, Fishers of Men!
