13:25 I recently lost my wife of 48 years to Alzheimer’s. Your homily gave me great consolation in my deep grief. I can now picture my severely impaired love reborn in our Lord’s presence with a new and perfect body basking in His mercy and love. No longer diminished or struggling. Thank you Bishop Baron.
I am praying with you my brothers and sisters in Christ to overcome the deep grief and accept the peace of the risen Lord Jesus Christ every hour. So we can continue the journey home to meet Jesus and our love one in joy and love.
Bishop Barron is not AT ALL what I thought Catholicism was about, and it's refreshing to listen to him, ( a big surprise to me) this is thoughtful and deeply theologically sound stuff
It is the atheist in the wrong, for permitting such vile things as Christians. The religious are shameless, we know them by their works: indoctrination of children with fantasyland vocabulary.
Bishop Robert Barron' countenance is arrogance manifest. The wolf in sheep's clothing, speaking to a wicked generation. The vestments of shamelessness are plainly seen. We know him by his works, speaking words of fiction, look at me, look at me.

maybe..but is it factual ? Is a great Muslim or Hindu or Mormon orator telling facts, or have they got it totally confused..Depends on your upbring and environment and a few other ifs & buts. ..amen
I found you about 10 yrs ago when our then Pastor Gregg gave a 10 week present on CATHOLICISM. The I started following you on WORLD ON FIRE. I so needed you in my life you are the most amazing man I ever knew. And Thank You God for giving us Bishop Barron.
The same with me. I was born again watching Catholicism and Word on Fire. Bishop Barron is a blessing representing who our Lord Jesus Christ is and he’s incredible! Thank you so much Lord for giving us Bishop Barron to teach us and enlighten us.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I can relate to your experience. I wait anxiously every week for the homily. I use. It to try to bring my children back and I share it with students and adults alike in my parish.
@@falzuruveraGod bless you! My son was discerning the priesthood when he was stricken with a rare blood cancer. He is still faithful, and I have many wonderful people to thank for that!
I was starting to doubt my faith when my husband passed away 2 months ago and was blaming God for taking him away from me. I am a practicing Catholic and after hearing Bishop Barrons sermon my faith has been restored. Rob is in Heaven and I will see him again along with my deceased first husband. As I am writing this text my tears are now tears of joy. I am still sad but with each day it will get better and I have so many beautiful memories to hang to. I NEEDED THIS SERMON.
Hey...don't be too sure.....if you listen to the Trad Catholic You Tube it is likely your husband is in Hell for some impure thought at some time......or some other horseshit reason. That is why the Trad Catholic channel on the "fewness of the saved" are so insidious
Bishop Barron, I'm unsure if you read comments but I want to thank you deeply for what you do. I entered RCIA this past fall and you were no small part of my decision to go through with it. Your unwavering passion for the faith, your intolerance for dumbing down Catholicism's deep intellectual tradition, and so much more played an integral part in my conversion. I pray that others continue to find their way to the church and I believe your work will continue to help others hear the call of Christ. May God bless you sir.

We need Christ imputed righteousness through being born again to see heaven, these are the ones that have passed from death unto eternal life, Praise God
I was raised protestant, but GREATLY appreciate Bishop Barron's sermons, which I found online. Trying to heal from my much-beloved boyfriend, who dies on March 9th, and wasn;t raised in ANY faith- but he found 'some' with me. Please pray for him (James Patrick Kenny) and for me, Kristen Haynes, and for his family. Thank you, people of Christian faith!
I listen to the homily given by this wonderful man every Saturday in anticipation of mass the next day. He opens up Scripture and church teachings in such a beautiful way. Thank you, God for this wonderful shepherd you have given us through your Holy Church! ❤🙏🏼✝️🕊️
"Cultivate your capacity for surprise. Cultivate your capacity to imagine a spiritual body. That's at the heart of Christian hope. That's at the heart of our Easter season." *- Bishop Robert Barron*
I just read Bishop Barron's homily about life after death. My good friend Judy passed away thisand prayers afternoon after a week's illness. She was very religious and brought me Holy Communion every week. I will greatly miss her. May she rest in peace. Love ❤and prayers 🙏.
Bishop Barron’s talk on the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist brought me into the Church at 60 years old. Catholicism is nothing like I thought it was as a devout evangelical.
@@johnbrowne2170 you clearly do not understand the Mass then. It’s our Lord’s original sacrifice re-presented at Holy Mass, not another completely new sacrifice. You can find a fuller explanation in the Catechism, if interested in learning what Catholicism actually teaches.
@@ScottChase-f3r "But this man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God." - Hebrews 10:12 I was raised Catholic and attended Catholic school taught by the Irish Christian Brothers from Grade one to Grade 11. I know what Catholicism teaches and I also know the truth which it doesn't teach.
Bishop Baron thank you so much for your wisdom and understanding. Your love for His word and history and the way you communicate grow my love for His word. I thank God for you for being here for such a time as this. God bless you.
Amen. Resurrection of the body! Stepping into the redemptive work of Christ in the land of the living. The new creation, new Heaven and earth. All creation groaning for this . This is the Goodnews! 🎉🎉🎉
Amazing how many negative conflicting comments regarding Bishops sermon. If you have no FAITH it is expected. Non believers, negatively commenting on something they don’t understand or even consider to be true. Sad. Hopefully you keep listening to the Bishop and seek Jesus Christ for your answers. Why spew hatred, negativity and doubt? Choose love, positivity and certainty! Praying for you all 🙏🏼✝️💜 Christ is King! 👑
I am still amazed that my thinking can accept this thesis of his homily that we are going to be transfigured with a new spiritual body. I still can't believe that this will happen this way, BUT i want this to happen. I will continue to pray for patience and grace because this would be a wonderful way to spend eternity. ❤
Thank you, Bishop, for addressing this profoundly challenging question. My teenaged son and his best friend were shot 29 months ago. Amazingly, from this tragedy I have grown to be a better man. Life can indeed be daunting.
Amen 🙏 thank you Bishop Barron, may the Holy Spirit continue to strengthen and encourage you to speak the truth 🙏 🙌 praise the name of Jesus forever 🙏 🙌 ❤️
As Bishop Barron says, we believe in the resurrection of the body... At the same time, I can't help but recall what was said on Ash Wednesday- "remember you are dust, and from dust you shall return" (as we receive the ashes)....
Indeed, this is part of the curse of Original Sin that we inherit as human beings (Genesis 3:19). We say these words on Ash Wednesday to become painfully aware of our sinfulness. Lent is the season where we clothe ourselves is sackcloth and ashes, like the people of Nineveh, in order to repent of our sins. But the liturgical calendar does not stay in Lent. “The wages of sin are death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). We would have “returned to dust” in our sin, but Jesus’ death and resurrection have actually gained for us a life even after death. That is why Easter is the Solemnity of solemnities, because we celebrate the immensity of God’s love which gives an eternal life we could never have achieved on our own. All that remains is to accept our place in the heavenly banquet, even in the present moment. Happy Easter season! Christ is risen, alleluia!
Thank you Bishop for this explanation as it is often on my mind as I -at age 87 ( as of next Sunday) - come nearer to the end of my earthly life. While I cannot imagine what lies in store, I believe there is a beautiful life in the presence of God, and I pray for comfort and peace when that time comes. God bless you.
Perhaps the last book of CSLewis' Narnia books " the last battles it is called will help. I think what he imagined comes pretty close to the truth! ❤️📖
ST. POPE JOHN PAUL II: : “The love of Christ is more powerful than sin and death. St. Paul explains that Christ came to forgive sin and that his love is greater than any sin, stronger than all my personal sins or those of anyone else. This is the faith of the Church. This is the Good News of God’s love that the Church proclaims throughout history and that I proclaim to you today: God loves you with an everlasting love. He loves you in Christ Jesus, his Son.”
I also loved that St. Luke' s chapter. We have to thank Jordan, because I didn't know you, being an Orthodox Greek, living in Greece, and i found you through your last discussion with Jordan. I said "what a calm and wise man". Then i realised that everything i hear from you is exactly what I need and deeply understand. I know God appears in his own terms, but what if i still lose hope...? I'm ashamed to admit that, but i still lose hope...
Love this topic and so well presented; however, at least for me, the explanation did not directly answer the title question of what happens to us when we die. Rather, it does wonderfully answer the question what happens when we are resurrected. I hope you will consider doing an important post-script on this homily addressing what happens to us between death and our resurrection. Thank you, Bishop Barron, for teaching on so many important matters of our faith.
I can count on one hand how many priests/ministers/evangelists I have ever taken to heart in my lifetime and still have a few fingers left over. I would like to Bishop Barron to discuss in depth "the end of time." I do not think what is in the bible about the end of time is what most people today think it means. It supposedly means God presiding over a just earth now, God's kingdom on earth being actualised. Okay, if I am correct, why has not that happened by now?? Jesus died over 2K years ago. I am nearing the end of my own life. How many believers have lived and died now? At what point is "the end of time" arriving??
Yes we believe in the resurrection of the body in a glorified state on the last day. And we believe in the creation of a new Heaven and a new earth .What I want to know is what state are we in while we await this to happen?
Wow, that was such a beautiful homily. Thank you Bishop Barron. You have strengthened my faith and I'm truly grateful. May God continue to bless you and keep you safe and healthy.
As a Catholic who is struggling to get to Mass but very much wants to have a deeper understanding of the Church and its teachings, I really appreciate everything Word on Fire has to offer. Thank you so much for your videos.
Don’t struggle just walk through those Church doors. It’s one hour a week out of your life. I need it to get centered. Like a person son with an addiction, it keeps you on track.
@barbaragalliera9846 You don't know what each person is dealing with, My parents are deep protestants, and I am dependent on them for I am only 17, and I still cannot legally drive... Some aren't fortunate enough to attend mass
Yes ! You are welcome! I feel like God has bless me in many ways. I cannot count the blessings, and miracles I experienced . Your life will change completely and sometimes I cannot understand the grace and blessings that come by loving and honoring God
Bishop, thank you. For what it's worth, all, what Bishop refers to regarding our own deaths - our own transfiguration - was shown to me in quiet, effective ways when our brother died. 31 years ago. Like it was yesterday. Details upon request.
For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all Ecclesiastes 9:5 Your dead ones will live. A corpse of mine-they will rise up. Awake and cry out joyfully, YOU residents in the dust! For your dew is as the dew of mallows, and the earth itself will let even those impotent in death drop in birth. Isaiah 26:19 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out" John 5:28,29 Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone that is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all. Do you believe this?” She said to him: “Yes, Lord; I have believed that you are the Christ the Son of God, the One coming into the world. John 11:25-27
Thank-you so much for these words of wisdom and deeply insightful visions from The Bible and how Jesus was the end all and be all of all previous religious faith bringing beautiful, glorious truth. He continues to be a focus for the pagans continuin to assign their evil traditions to Jesus instead of demons they choose to host themselves; a measure displaying the devil's continuing prowl through the world for the ruin of souls.
Good message Bishop. One important component I would add, from my own journey is to keep an open mind and heart, free from any pre conceived notions or assumptions, be still and listen.
Jesus was not made of dust like us. We are not the same as Jesus! He is God and not mortal. Unlike Jesus, our bodies will decay. The Bible says we will be given heavenly bodies. We will be changed.
Jesus Christ has answered this question very clearly:: Luke 20:34 John 6:28-29 John 6:39-44 John 11:23-24 John 12:48 1 Corinthians 15:51-54 The common thread is “on the last day.” So it appears that we are to wait. It’s that simple, unless you want to puzzle over the compression of time straight to the last day at the moment of death. In the meantime life has its troubles of the day. Jesus warned us about worrying for tomorrow, so let’s all hold fast to the commandments and precepts he has set before us.
Wow. Bishop Barron has this ability to render me speechless, in a state of pondering, reflection and meditation. He opens up the Scriptures and puts them in a historical context that, I find, allows me to meditate on these events as the real, historical events that they are. I find myself able to imagine myself there, and as such, delve deeper into the Mysteries of our Beautiful Faith. Sometimes to the point of tears. Thank you Bishop Barron for answering God's daily call to evangelize and bring the Truth to all of us in such a clear and loving way. And Peace be with you, too! 🕊️✝️🙏🏼
Love listening to your sermons Bishop. I wish more people could carry more capacity for the spiritual order today. The Transfiguration of Jesus always looks beautiful in my mind
The Orthodox Christian Faith teaches that the scriptures are clear on this issue. Those in Christ depart to Paradise to consciously and joyfully await the resurrection of the body. Those who reject Christ await sadly in hades.
Huge gratitude for all the souls you have inspired including myself, touched, brought back into relationship with God and Our Blessed Mother. God’s choicest blessings. Sr. Maria DW
Luke 1:46-55 ...Mary needs a Saviour too (she said!). She is not to be revered above others as scripture says she was blessed AMONG women, not above. 🩷
Thank you Bishop Barron for your articulation of the hopes and dreams of our faith. I pray that the hope you speak of resonates with all those listening today and we can live our lives acting it out - and ultimately influencing others.
You said "JESUS SHOWS HIS ''WOMBS' instead of ''Wounds' ...... And that's the nicest thing I can say about or to Baron. As a seventy plus NY Catholic Foundling ...... I don't buy into BS easily ......
I used to give Bishop Barron a hard time in my own heart. It wasn't until I realized that an army needs all sorts. I was holding him up to an impossible standard. I was expecting him to be the general, fighter pilot, door-to-door marine and demolitions expert all put together. That doesn't exist in reality, and once I started appreciated him for what he does well it all became much easier.
If Bishop Barron is speaking to your heart and you are not yet a confirmed Catholic, please go to your local parish church and join the RCIA program. At 55, I was Baptized and confirmed on Easter and it has meant the world to me. Just dive right in, join the Body of Christ, you will not regret it!

This is the Good News of God’s love that the Church proclaims throughout history and that I proclaim to you today: God loves you with an everlasting love. He loves you in Christ Jesus, his Son.”
🥲 Thank you! I love the dear Pope St. John Paul II ✝️❤️
Bishop Barron is truly a gift from God.
I'm so Blessed. God loves me. Helps me all the time
Amen brother
Me too , most especially in my agony. How I love Him .
I also loved that St. Luke' s chapter.
We have to thank Jordan, because I didn't know you, being an Orthodox Greek, living in Greece, and i found you through your last discussion with Jordan. I said "what a calm and wise man". Then i realised that everything i hear from you is exactly what I need and deeply understand.
I know God appears in his own terms, but what if i still lose hope...? I'm ashamed to admit that, but i still lose hope...
Amen! God bless you all abundantly always! Praise be to God The Father Almighty! Great sermon!🙋😇🌹🌹🌹
My mother died on March 25, 2024 at age 96. I have no doubt whatsoever that I'll see her again.
Wonderful sermon Bishop Barron.
Love this topic and so well presented; however, at least for me, the explanation did not directly answer the title question of what happens to us when we die. Rather, it does wonderfully answer the question what happens when we are resurrected. I hope you will consider doing an important post-script on this homily addressing what happens to us between death and our resurrection. Thank you, Bishop Barron, for teaching on so many important matters of our faith.
I can count on one hand how many priests/ministers/evangelists I have ever taken to heart in my lifetime and still have a few fingers left over.
I would like to Bishop Barron to discuss in depth "the end of time." I do not think what is in the bible about the end of time is what most people today think it means. It supposedly means God presiding over a just earth now, God's kingdom on earth being actualised. Okay, if I am correct, why has not that happened by now?? Jesus died over 2K years ago. I am nearing the end of my own life. How many believers have lived and died now? At what point is "the end of time" arriving??
Yes we believe in the resurrection of the body in a glorified state on the last day. And we believe in the creation of a new Heaven and a new earth .What I want to know is what state are we in while we await this to happen?
Looking for the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and savior the Lord Jesus Christ
same question i had
Ecclesiastes 12.7 says, -that the body returns to the earth. And the spirit returns to God, who gave it
Excellent bishop! One of my best story of the Hood News! Peace be with you🙏
Wow, that was such a beautiful homily. Thank you Bishop Barron. You have strengthened my faith and I'm truly grateful. May God continue to bless you and keep you safe and healthy.
Beautiful meditation, comparing the alternatives with the precious gift of bodily resurrection.
Muy bien con el obispo Barron🎉
As a Catholic who is struggling to get to Mass but very much wants to have a deeper understanding of the Church and its teachings, I really appreciate everything Word on Fire has to offer. Thank you so much for your videos.
Don’t struggle just walk through those Church doors. It’s one hour a week out of your life. I need it to get centered. Like a person son with an addiction, it keeps you on track.
@barbaragalliera9846 You don't know what each person is dealing with, My parents are deep protestants, and I am dependent on them for I am only 17, and I still cannot legally drive... Some aren't fortunate enough to attend mass
Yes ! You are welcome! I feel like God has bless me in many ways. I cannot count the blessings, and miracles I experienced . Your life will change completely and sometimes I cannot understand the grace and blessings that come by loving and honoring God
😊great. Enjoy it.
Bishop, thank you.
For what it's worth, all, what Bishop refers to regarding our own deaths - our own transfiguration - was shown to me in quiet, effective ways when our brother died. 31 years ago. Like it was yesterday. Details upon request.
For the living are conscious that they will die;
but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all
Ecclesiastes 9:5
Your dead ones will live. A corpse of mine-they will rise up.
Awake and cry out joyfully, YOU residents in the dust!
For your dew is as the dew of mallows, and the earth itself
will let even those impotent in death drop in birth.
Isaiah 26:19
"Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming
in which all those in the memorial tombs
will hear his voice and come out"
John 5:28,29
Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life.
He that faith in me, even though he dies,
will come to life; and everyone that is living and exercises
faith in me will never die at all. Do you believe this?”
She said to him: “Yes, Lord; I have believed that you are
the Christ the Son of God, the One coming into the world.
John 11:25-27
Thank-you so much for these words of wisdom and deeply insightful visions from The Bible and how Jesus was the end all and be all of all previous religious faith bringing beautiful, glorious truth. He continues to be a focus for the pagans continuin to assign their evil traditions to Jesus instead of demons they choose to host themselves; a measure displaying the devil's continuing prowl through the world for the ruin of souls.
Good message Bishop. One important component I would add, from my own journey is to keep an open mind and heart, free from any pre conceived notions or assumptions, be still and listen.
Praise God!❤
I am a frequent follower of bishop barron followed by Bishop Fulton Sheen...these two bishops just help me to mature in my faith....God bless the..
Bishop Barron thank you for understanding and sending me the link messages from God throughout you ❤️🙏🏻💕
Bishop Barron, please talk about the particular judgment.
I like the new studio windows. ‘Climb Every Mountain’ is strangely coming to mind
As long as I breathe I have a reason to praise, thank and follow the Lord
Jesus was not made of dust like us. We are not the same as Jesus! He is God and not mortal. Unlike Jesus, our bodies will decay. The Bible says we will be given heavenly bodies. We will be changed.
Jesus Christ has answered this question very clearly::
Luke 20:34
John 6:28-29
John 6:39-44
John 11:23-24
John 12:48
1 Corinthians 15:51-54
The common thread is “on the last day.” So it appears that we are to wait. It’s that simple, unless you want to puzzle over the compression of time straight to the last day at the moment of death. In the meantime life has its troubles of the day. Jesus warned us about worrying for tomorrow, so let’s all hold fast to the commandments and precepts he has set before us.
First the resurrection of the soul in the death of Christ, then the resurrection of the body when He returns at the end of times
Oh my gosh. Jesus asking for food blows my mind. How real can you get? Love it.
No one knows for sure. We take everything on trust as a matter of faith.
Wow. Bishop Barron has this ability to render me speechless, in a state of pondering, reflection and meditation. He opens up the Scriptures and puts them in a historical context that, I find, allows me to meditate on these events as the real, historical events that they are. I find myself able to imagine myself there, and as such, delve deeper into the Mysteries of our Beautiful Faith. Sometimes to the point of tears. Thank you Bishop Barron for answering God's daily call to evangelize and bring the Truth to all of us in such a clear and loving way. And Peace be with you, too! 🕊️✝️🙏🏼
Love listening to your sermons Bishop. I wish more people could carry more capacity for the spiritual order today. The Transfiguration of Jesus always looks beautiful in my mind
Thank you for the explanation.
This is what we hope in Jesus Christ🙏🏻
Thank you Jesus for giving us light, even more for being our light; thank you for giving us hope, even more for being our hope✨⭐🙏
Bishop Barron. I appreciate you. Your sermons are wonderful and make me think. God bless you always. 🙏🙂
The Orthodox Christian Faith teaches that the scriptures are clear on this issue. Those in Christ depart to Paradise to consciously and joyfully await the resurrection of the body. Those who reject Christ await sadly in hades.
When you die to all that you now believe you return to the kingdom of Heaven…. As soon as you do
Huge gratitude for all the souls you have inspired including myself, touched, brought back into relationship with God and Our Blessed Mother. God’s choicest blessings. Sr. Maria DW
Luke 1:46-55 ...Mary needs a Saviour too (she said!). She is not to be revered above others as scripture says she was blessed AMONG women, not above. 🩷
Thank you Bishop Barron for your articulation of the hopes and dreams of our faith. I pray that the hope you speak of resonates with all those listening today and we can live our lives acting it out - and ultimately influencing others.
✨⭐🌟🙏
You said "JESUS SHOWS HIS ''WOMBS' instead of ''Wounds' ...... And that's the nicest thing I can say about or to Baron. As a seventy plus NY Catholic Foundling ...... I don't buy into BS easily ......
Thank you, Bishop. I am in OCIA, praying to be confirmed. Thank you for your acts of intellectual and spiritual service. I can't thank you enough.
What a wonderful way to start or end the day; Listening to Bishop Barron is like a breath of fresh air. How blessed we are!
O Holy Virgin Mary Our Mother, pray for us! O Lord Jesus have Mercy on me, a poor sinner!
Jesus said, unless one is born again ( regeneration) he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3 verse 3
Beautiful homily, as always, giving my spirit a jumpstart to renew my love for Jesus and why we are His creation 🙏
I used to give Bishop Barron a hard time in my own heart. It wasn't until I realized that an army needs all sorts. I was holding him up to an impossible standard. I was expecting him to be the general, fighter pilot, door-to-door marine and demolitions expert all put together. That doesn't exist in reality, and once I started appreciated him for what he does well it all became much easier.
Thanks so much Bishop Barron for your comments today and every day as I follow You every morning!!
