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!

In what will certainly become one of the most fundamental speeches of his pontificate, Pope Leo XIV told the Spanish Parliament, before receiving a 7-minute standing ovation: "The defense of human life is neither a partisan issue nor a confessional interest: it is a goal of civilization."

"If life ceases to be recognized as a fundamental value, what future can our societies have?" he said, speaking to a gathering of politicians, many supporting abortion and euthanasia.

"Can a community that casts into the shadows the unborn child, the elderly, the sick, those who suffer in silence, or those who depend entirely on the care of others be called fully just?"

"Every human life must be recognized and safeguarded from conception to its natural end, in every circumstance of its existence. When this certainty is obscured, the most vulnerable are the first victims, and the law loses its deepest meaning: to serve and protect every person."

"For this reason, the moral greatness of a nation is manifested, above all, in its capacity to accompany, protect and love those lives that are most fragile," he said, repeating what John Paul II emphasized decades ago.

Starting his speech he commented that Church's is the "message offered in the spirit of service to the human person."

"When the Church addresses anything concerning public life, she does so while respecting the proper mission of institutions and the legitimate responsibility of those who have received the mandate to legislate," Pope Leo said, emphasizing "the Church offers a reflection born of the desire to serve the common good."

He hailed Spain as country that "has known how to view the human being as more than just a cog in the social, economic or political order. It has recognized the human being as a creature open to truth, endowed with freedom, and driven by a thirst for eternity that no temporal reality can quench -- in a word, as someone whose dignity takes precedence over all utility and to whose service legislative action is subject."

He said it was Catholic orders that "helped to shape a legal and moral consciousness capable of remembering that authority always entails responsibility and that every human being must be recognized as a subject of rights and duties."

"That aspiration continues to resonate today: that dignity, justice and the common good should be the measure of social relations, both at the national and international levels."

Referring multiple times to his "Magnifica Humanitas" encyclical, he said: "When the common good ceases to be a shared horizon, public action runs the risk of fragmenting into partial interests, incapable of safeguarding what belongs to all."

"In this context, the family — the primary human reality and the natural foundation of the community — takes on particular importance," Pope Leo said.

"The family will always be the first school of humanity, where one learns, before anywhere else, the basic grammar of living together: welcoming life, caring for others, forgiving, serving and belonging."

"Human life can never be treated as a commodity," the pope said.

"A law does not attain its true greatness merely by having been formally enacted; it attains it when, in addition to being valid in form, it can stand before the dignity of the person and pass that test without shame."

"I invite you, then, to lift your gaze to the world around you, not to turn away from reality, but to remember that every decision by public authorities affects real people, especially those who have less power to make their voices heard."

"The expanse of one’s vision consists precisely in looking more deeply at what is at stake in every public decision. This is why, alongside technical solutions and legal reforms, a moral renewal is also needed."

The horror film “Obsession” is a surprise hit at the box office this summer. Made for around one million dollars, it has already grossed over a hundred and fifty million. But it's not only a financial success; it's also a spiritually quite interesting film. What drives the plot is a young man's ardent desire to be loved by the woman whom he loves. Seeking a gift for Nikki in an occult store, Bear finds a device that advertises itself as “One Wish Willow.” If you break the stick and make a wish, it will come true. In his desperation, he follows the instructions, and it works like a charm. The previously diffident Nikki becomes totally devoted to the delighted Bear. All his dreams, it seems, have come true. Then things go, shall we say, south. I won't spoil any more of the plot. Suffice it to say that Nikki proceeds to devour the young man and push him toward despair.

Throughout this film, I kept thinking of Oscar Wilde's famous line: “the only thing worse than not getting what you want is getting what you want.” The spiritual issue here is one that the masters have recognized for centuries and one that stands at the very heart of Biblical revelation: if you tie your deepest desire to anything or anyone other than God, you will find, not satisfaction, but destruction. This is the moral teaching behind the great Shema prayer: “Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is Lord alone.” Jesus reiterates this when he says, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and all your strength.” The psalmist affirms it when he sings, “Only in God will my soul be at rest.”

During the rite of Confirmation, I ask the young people a series of questions, the first of which is “do you renounce Satan and all his works and empty promises?” Up and down the ages, Satan has made the same empty promise: I will give you something less than God and it will make you happy. In point of fact, it will ruin you, and the more you seek to acquire it, the unhappier you will become. What becomes clear in the course of “Obsession” is that the owners of the occult shop where Bear bought the fateful wish-willow are in fact involved with very dark spiritual powers. In my conversations with exorcists, I hear over and over again that those who get ensnared by the devil commence by dabbling in the occult.

“Obsession” is a good horror movie. If you like the genre, and you're not too squeamish, go see it. For it won't just scare you; it will offer some important spiritual truths.

One of the redeeming qualities of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, is that when the player prays at a shrine, cross, or chapel, the prayer must be completed fully for it to count.

The game requires you to watch the animation that lasts 1–2 minutes, without skipping or interrupting, to activate buffs, that is, the prayer only counts if you listen to/watch it entirely.

Sure they have some stuff in the game that shouldn't be there but this is pretty cool

JUST IN: President Trump signs order allowing psychedelic drug research to treat mental health disorders in the Oval Office with Joe Rogan.

Joined with them was Americans for Ibogaine CEO Bryan Hubbard.

Ibogaine is a “plant-based psychoactive compound” that has been used to treat people with drug addictions, traumatic brain injuries, and other issues according to Stanford Medicine.

Hubbard has previously discussed the treatment on podcasts including the Joe Rogan Experience.

The statements made by President Trump on Truth Social regarding the Pope were entirely inappropriate and disrespectful. They don’t contribute at all to a constructive conversation. It is the Pope’s prerogative to articulate Catholic doctrine and the principles that govern the moral life. In regard to the concrete application of those principles, people of good will can and do disagree. I would warmly recommend that serious Catholics within the Trump administration–Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, Ambassador Brian Burch, and others–might meet with Vatican officials so that a real dialogue can take place. This is far preferable to the statements on social media.

I am very grateful for the many ways that the Trump administration has reached out to Catholics and other people of faith. It has been a high honor to serve on the Religious Liberty Commission. No President in my lifetime has shown a greater dedication to defending our first liberty. All that said, I think the President owes the Pope an apology.
