I second the G’s approval of this TV show series, which has only 5 installments, and add my own endorsement of it.
Â
We have watched the 4 shows that have played so far, and each one is better than the one before it as the young men get closer to making a decision to enter the seminary. In the 4th episode, Steve Horvath, who was a frat guy in college, goes to Guatemala and has some sobering experiences, especially facing the reality of extreme poverty there, and when he is about to leave the country to return home, he very honestly admits his fears and his appreciation for what it means to be a priest.
Â
He says through tears: “If I’m fortunate enough, God will make me a priest; the question is, ‘Am I going to have the courage?’ and I don’t have the answer to that.”Â
Â
Wow, how great for him to recognize that the priesthood is an amazing honor. For about two years, I felt God might be calling me to the priesthood, and similar thoughts to Steve’s often went through my mind: If God is calling me, will I have the courage to answer the call? What if I miss my vocation due to my own sinfulness?
Â
All four of these men are very different from each other, but all are faithful Catholic young men and the directors of the show honestly portray their very Catholic lives. 5 stars and blessings to these Jewish men who made this program!
