Fr. Luuk Jansen

Fr. Luuk Jansen belongs to the Dominican order and is the vocations director for Ireland. In this series of programs he will speak to us about celibacy, a gift which is often fought against in our modern culture. He explains its importance and how it is a call to a complete self-giving to God and to the Church. He will also speak to us about topics related with religious and priestly life, such as responding to Christ’s call, the importance of building a strong relationship with God through prayer and contemplation, and Our Lady’s role in a priest's life.

The Priesthood: An Intimate Friendship with Christ

Perhaps we understand a bit about the importance of prayer. Yet can we truly consider ourselves Christ’s friends? Father Luuk Jansen reveals the simplicity of his own friendship with Christ and thus, spurs us on to make a greater effort to grow in intimacy with Our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Priesthood: Give Everything to Jesus

“Come, follow Me.” (Mt. 19:21) Jesus calls and man is free to respond to this loving invitation. How do I know if God is calling me? In this episode of The Priesthood, Father Luuk Jansen shows us the importance of truly knowing Jesus Christ so that we may perceive His call in our hearts.

The Priesthood: Chastity for the Kingdom of God

A common question: Why do priests and religious make a vow of chastity? Fr. Luuk Jansen highlights the importance of this complete self-giving to God and the Church. From his personal experience we discover this important truth: The more we truly give ourselves to God, the more we receive from Him.
