The emotional moment when parishioners bid farewell to their pastor at the end of his mission. For us priests, these moments are never easy. When you have prayed with the people, wept with them, celebrated their joys, buried their loved ones, and become part of their family, saying goodbye is more than a transfer; it is a separation of hearts. Such is the beauty and the cost of pastoral ministry❤️

This is so emotional to watch. Fr. Santiago Quemada is a priest of the Prelature of Opus Dei priest who spent more than ten years serving in Jerusalem. During one of his vacations, he suffered a heart attack while playing tennis. The incident left him with severe neurological damage. He is now unable to speak or care for himself, and his family especially his mother accompanies and looks after him each day. In this video, accompanied by his mother, he was able to meet with Pope Leo XIV during the Holy Father's Apostolic Visit to Spain last month. May God be with his priest, Fr Santiago in his current situation and bless his mother for looking after him🙏🏿

Life is truly fleeting. This video of Bishop Augustine Akubeze of Benin Archdiocese was recorded just six days ago during his visit to one of his priests serving in a parish in the UK. This evening, we received the heartbreaking news of his passing. One moment, we are making memories. The next, we become memories. May the Lord whom he served faithfully grant him eternal rest, and may perpetual light shine upon him. Amen.

Pope Leo prostrates before the altar during the celebration of the Lord's Passion at the Vatican. Priests prostrate themselves before the altar on Good Friday as a profound act of humility, submission, adoration, and grief, symbolizing the Church’s mourning for the crucifixion of Jesus and the "abasement" or helplessness of humanity.

This particular event will continue to be one of my greatest highlights of the pontificate of Pope Francis. It was in the year 2020, in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Pope Francis, 83, slightly bent, limping, weak, and frail, walked up the stairs of St Peter's Square, stood alone on the rainy and deserted ground of St Peter's Square, and prayed for an end of the COVID-19 pandemic. At that instant, he exemplified his name, Papa (fathe) - Father of the whole world. Never to be forgotten.

At 30, he already had 2 two university and ran his own multi million naira company. But when God came calling, like Peter, Andrew, James, and John, he left everything behind and followed God. Like Paul, he counted everything as loss because of the surpassing love of serving God as a priest. What you see in this video is the pure and undiluted joy of selfless service to God as a priest💯✅
