Hope is often described as an anchorage, to help us hang on. But if we don’t have hope, life and even death is pointless. Love gives us hope. This video shows forth that love and care that the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne provide and their vocation to provide God’s love for those who desperately need them. Their charism is to focus on caring for those at the end of their life, in hopes that their patients can know that they are loved even in their last moments. They provide their patients with a sense of home and family life in their final time. A sense that they are not just falling into an empty space, but somebody is there holding them. We all want to receive love and everyone deserves love even until our final moments.

This is a vocations video made for the Diocese of Providence that features a story of young men who were called to continue the Lord’s mission. It also tells a story of how young men had stepped up in times of turmoil and trial, throughout the ages and showcased men who had given their lives to answer the call. Leaving a question, who will be the next generation to be called, sent, and chosen? To be a man of faith, of hope and love.

It is an invitation for men, who are in the crossroads of their lives. For those who are called to live a religious life, continue the Lord’s mission and serve as leaders of the church.

This vocational video for the Archdiocese of Chicago features an 80-year old priest detailing his consecrated life as a prayer, expressing his hopes that his passion takes hold of another. A hope that another man can find fulfillment and salvation in the life of consecration.

It shows a beautiful message that lays out the ideal characteristics of a person who aims to live a religious life. A very inspiring invitation for people to share Lord’s mission, beauty, His body, heart and blood.

This also represents the total trust in God to spread His truth, goodness and love, to give us a leader into our church. One who will inspire us and tell us of the sacrifice that Jesus made for us. A man that might see passed the sins of our small world within our undoubtedly short lives. Ultimately, a man who will fill these shoes.

Fr. Donald Calloway was an rebel in every sense of the word: member of the Yakuza (an organized crime syndicate), rarely sober, angry, and suicidal.  He experienced more of the dark side of life before he turned 20 years old than most see in a lifetime.  Through an extraordinary encounter with the Blessed Virgin, this anarchist turned himself around and is now one of the most vocal proclaimers of Divine Mercy.
