So today is the anniversary of today's Trinity Sunday or June 7th is the 17th anniversary

of the first mass I ever celebrated, which is actually not technically true.

I was already dating on the 6th, but in the first mass I got to celebrate like I was

like the lead guy.

The previous mass the bishop was the lead guy, whatever.

I was still on the show.

But I was thinking about this because 17 years ago on this day, just got to pray, got

to pray as a priest at the mass.

And it was phenomenal, but I had come across a story of another guy, Father John.

And Father John, the first mass he ever celebrated, he had a vision, like the whole, the Lord

revealed to himself to him, here's the vision.

So Father John is celebrating his very first mass.

And as he's celebrating his first mass, he sees three figures and one is figure of Jesus

and Jesus is chained.

He's shackled next to other human beings.

And Father John had this powerful, the image spoke to him in a way that made it very, very

clear.

So Father John left mass and he got, well, got done with it.

He finished, I'm sure he finished like a normal person.

And he went to speak to a hermit, his name was Father Felix, who was this older man that

he just really trusted in and he said, Father Felix, I owe the image from Jesus that we

need to start a religious community.
