The United States has been consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

This is so beautiful!

In a viral reel posted by the Diocese of Columbus, Ohio, a newly ordained Catholic priest was caught on camera expressing how he felt immediately after his ordination.

In the beautiful video, Father Zach Goodchild tearfully expresses his gratitude towards his childhood pastor. Father Goodchild thanks the priest with a heartfelt embrace and tells him he loves him.

“Thank you for being my pastor for all those years…thank you so much,” Father Goodchild says. He repeatedly thanks him with tears of joy.

Father Goodchild’s childhood pastor tells him he loves him, and Father Goodchild responds with, “I love you too.”

After he finishes speaking with his childhood pastor, Father Goodchild then receives his brother priests. He hugs each of them and expresses his gratitude.

The video received thousands of views and reactions across social media platforms. Here’s what some people said about it:

“I consider myself blessed to have attended this wonderful ordination service for Father Zachary,” Facebook user Jean Daley Reese commented. “The tears of gratitude in his eyes are a glory to our Eternal Father! This felt like a Holy event!”

“This is beautiful footage of an amazing moment,” Katie Buzenski Jones also said on Facebook. “Well done capturing the joy of a newly ordained priest and the joy of the seasoned priests welcoming him.”

“Imagine the rejoicing of the Angels. This young man is wearing God's armor. Bless his every move, Lord,” Facebook user Rodney Gunter added.

“Father Zach is one of the most caring, authentic, and humble human beings I have ever met,” an Instagram user wrote. “I know he is going to be an amazing priest, because those who pray the way he does always find the answers. I'm so blessed to know him and can't wait for his first Mass. God bless him and his work.”

“This is so beautiful and holy,” another Instagram user said. “May God bless your calling! Your church is praying for you and all our beloved priests!”

Let us pray for all newly ordained Catholic priests!

🚨 🇪🇸 ✝️ Amazing scenes in Madrid this morning

Pope Leo XIV leading the Corpus Christi for absolutely HUGE crowds

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

Private Carlton Barrett was possibly the smallest man in his regiment.

5 feet 4 inches tall. 125 pounds.

On the morning of June 6, 1944, he landed at Omaha Beach in neck-deep water, machine gun fire cutting the surface all around him. He made it to shore.

Then he turned around and went back in.

A soldier was drowning. Barrett pulled him out. Then another. Then another. For hours, under constant fire, this 125-pound man waded back into the surf again and again, pulling drowning men to safety and physically carrying the wounded to evacuation boats offshore.

But he didn't stop there.

He ran dispatches the full length of the fire-swept beach. He found soldiers paralyzed by shock and calmed them back into action. He appeared wherever the crisis was worst, doing whatever needed doing, treating rank and personal safety as irrelevant details.

He did this for hours without stopping.

His Medal of Honor citation says his courage had "an inestimable effect on his comrades." That is military understatement for: this small, anonymous man held that section of beach together through sheer force of will.

He survived the war.

His comrades later said his life darkened after he came home. He lived quietly and died in 1986 in California, largely unknown outside of military history circles.

5 feet 4 inches. 125 pounds. He went back in.

Remember him.

Right now over 500,000 young people in Madrid join Pope Leo XIV on their knees adoring Our Blessed Lord truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

This photograph, taken on May 20, 1948, shows Three Affiliated Tribes chairman George Gillette wiping away tears as U.S. Interior Secretary Julius Albert Krug signs the Garrison Dam Agreement.

The agreement authorized the flooding of 156,000 acres of valuable land belonging to the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara peoples.

Surrounded by tribal leaders and government officials, Gillette spoke of the painful loss, saying they were giving up the best part of their reservation and that the future looked uncertain.

The most haunting photos ever taken: https://t.co/POrqRRccxc

This is amazing.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio just shared that he was "deeply moved" during a visit to the home of the Missionaries of Charity, founded by St. Teresa of Calcutta.

[CSW Hoosier 🇻🇦 @CSW_Hoosier]

I was an anti-Catholic non-denominational “born again” Christian and got into a debate with a Catholic.

I used the same tired lines – you guys don’t read the Bible, you’re basically pagans for worshipping Mary and the saints, etc.

He challenged me on the topics of apostolic succession, sola scriptura, and Marian prayer.

So I began researching. I needed to understand Catholicism better so I could more effectively debate these fools!

But the more I researched, the more I struggled to find valid arguments against the Catholic faith. I set out to disprove Catholicism, and found myself unable to do so – so much so, that Catholicism became impossible for me to disprove.

I didn’t become Catholic because I wanted to. I became Catholic because the Holy Spirit called me home to the Church Christ founded. It wasn’t up to me. Catholicism is much harder than being a Protestant; I am called to a much higher standard.

It is at times unpleasant. But God calls us to worship Him in the manner in which HE chooses. Worship isn’t about us. Church isn’t about us.

It’s all about Him.

Curl-Salemme, who represents Team USA in women’s hockey at the Winter Olympics in Italy, is a devout Catholic. She recently shared that she has been following Fr. Mike Schmitz’s Bible in a Year podcast and has pinned a Catholic Mass times website to her profile to help others find nearby churches.

“At the end of the day, there are no apologies for being Catholic. We are followers of Jesus Christ.”

[Stafford9 @LAR9MS]

I just want to remind everyone. The League MVP Matthew Stafford did this against the Seattle Defense.

I get it, the Rams aren’t playing today. This isn’t about that, it’s about a QB that tore up this elite D.

[Fr Matthew P. Schneider, LC @FrMatthewLC]

It's pretty un-trad to act directly contrary to what the Pope said.

A big part of tradition is obedience. If Pope Leo XIV asked me to jump, my only question might be "how high?" That is a traditional Catholic view of obedience.

[Stafford9 @LAR9MS]

When Matthew Stafford retires, the NFL will not be the same.

Crazy comebacks
Game winning drives
No lookers
Sidearms
Deep bombs
Monster numbers in the playoffs
Playing through injuries
Off platform throws
Etc

Sundays will feel different when #9 hangs it up. Hope he plays 1 more

[NFL @NFL]

Stafford and Kupp forever ❤️

@patriottakes I don’t understand why he took a loaded gun to a protest and then violently resisted ICE officers. Whether he agrees with the Trump Administration or not, that seems like a really bad set of decisions.
