A personal Catholic blog on the vocation to love and holiness, on the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas, and various theological, philosophical and pastoral issues.
I am a diocesan priest in the parish of Cyrill and Method in the Archdiocese of Vienna, and a teacher at the International Theological Institute, Trumau. I have set up this blog to share
both academic and personal reflections, with emphasis on our common vocation to life in Christ, to love and holiness. Please feel free to comment, ask questions, or join in discussion.
Joseph Bolin
On the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, June 15, 2012, I was ordained to the priesthood by Christoph Cardinal Schönborn, together with five other men, in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna.
More photos and downloads are available at www.priesterweihe.at.
Please say a prayer in thanksgiving for the grace of this vocation, and that the Lord make us holy and good instruments of his work!
Axios! I shall pray for you, Father~
Congratulations and may the Lord bless you and your work!
Congratulations….will pray.
Congratulations from a reader in Thailand! (I found your site because your book has been an immense help to me.) Will pray in thanksgiving and petition.
Salve! I have just taken your photo with the rest of the delegates at the theology of vocation conference, and only now has it struck me that you are the Joseph Bolin to whom I referred on my little blog last year, in particular to your excellent paper on three approaches to vocation discernment.
Then you were a seminarian, but now freshly ordained! Blessings on you and your ministry. Ad multos annos.
Pax.
Congratulations father ! I am writing you from Vancouver, Canada. I am a young Dominican (made my first vows last year). I was really happy to discover your website pathsoflove, specially your clear presentation of the main texts of Aquinas and saints on religious life…
May our Lord and Mary mother of all priests keep you on the path of divine love. <> said Bl. Mother Teresa !
