Speaking at the 2023 National Novena in Knock, well known broadcaster Sean O'Rourke reflects on the gift of service and priesthood.

"It is right that we think about and pray for those called to the priesthood, those who have a vocation to show Christ’s love to the world in a particular way. We can all think of a priest who has made a positive difference among your family circle, friends, or community… and give thanks for his vocation.

Because we all know priests and religious who have done huge amounts of good, and offered their lives for others. And they need and deserve our support, gratitude, and prayers.

And we need more of them."
