- Friends, this Christmas season, I invite you to watch episode 1 of the CATHOLICISM series. The birth of Christ is the fulfillment of the Old Testament. The kingdom of God is at hand. The ancient Israelites ardently expected Yahweh to accomplish four great things, and Christ accomplished these four things in the most unexpected way, and it all starts with Christ-fully human, fully divine-becoming man; a king born in a manager, not surrounded by riches and guards.

I've been on a journey of finding faith for a while now. I went from generic non-denominational rock concert churches, to an Anglican church that resembles Catholicism, then today for the first time I attended a Catholic Mass. When the host was consecrated I began to tremble with fear. I've never felt that way before at other churches "communions". I began to just pray over and over again, "have mercy on me Lord, I'm unworthy to be in your presence". I've left a voicemail with the religious education office to begin RCIA when it starts back up. Please pray for me as I walk this new path of my journey.
🙏🏻
Dear Larry, I pray you have found your destination. I will offer up my illness so you may have fortitude. Trust our Lord will lead you.
There aren't a whole lot of bells and whistles in Catholicism but rather a deep devotion to the suffering of Christ and steady endurance in a faith stand has stumbled many times in two thousand years. May you fly on eagles wings.
Larry you can count on my prayers
You’re loved Larry! It’s an amazing feeling when you give up and let Gods love wash over you! Blessings
It is right to love Jesus enough to be in humility in His presence. None of us really know how to be the “right” kind of humble so I have adapted by inspecting myself constantly to insure I truly do love Him with all my heart. That is easy too, because I know He loves me with all of His.
Bishop Barron helped me come into Catholicism and I’m so thankful for it. The church has added so much to my life.
Me too!
Me too, it is a beautiful, thoughtful, intelligent faith.....
Welcome home. God bless you.
Me too. There are but a small handful of people who have been more influential in my whole life.
Same, back in 2015 (revert). People are really quick to criticize him, but what's undeniable is that he's led tons of people to or back to the Church.
I can't even begin to express the impact the Catholicism series had on me. I grew up bemoaning and resenting the fact that all Catholic content I ever saw was cheap, corny, outdated and cringe inducing. This was the first time in my life I felt proud of Catholic media content. Bishop Barron created someone worthy of the goodness, truth, and beauty of the Catholic faith. God bless him for that.
Loopo

Agreed. I took a divorce class at Church after my divorce and it left me empty. The engagement encounter videos were awful too. Hopefully they’ve been modernized.
This is incredible, I had no idea his Excellency made such a high quality documentary all those years ago. Can't wait for more episodes!!! God bless you dear Bishop.
I never miss any of his homilies or podcasts.
@@margokupelian344 Same, he's brilliant, the best Christian speaker I've found yet by a mile. Every video he has a great insight of the Church to teach us, and it just makes the light of Christ shine even brighter every time. We are blessed to have such high quality men as our good Bishop in our Church. I hope one day he becomes Archbishop or a Cardinal. We need such minds at the highest instances of the Church.
who woke up the angry atheists
The same being who always wakes them up. @@Starwarp02
@@kut2459 I believe we all go back to a time when people tortured and murdered people. In fact, I think that continues. It's good to look at the failures of humanity to see why Christ is necessary. God bless.
as a new Christian from Turkey this touch my soul more than anything at this time of Christmass. I love all my brothers. We will get back the holly land
God bless you my dear friend 🙏☦️♥️
Welcome home - God Bless you. (From your older ex-pat brother - an English Christian - living out his days in central Mexico).
Your faith encourages me. May God bless you and your family.🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
❤
pray for your conversion of your people and the eastern see will be the first to be retaken by the grace of God
As a european roman catholic ,it always strikes me how easily Catholicisme is mis understood and judged upon. ..😔😔❤️✌️♥️🙏🕊❤️
Thank you ,bishop Barron ,for the video ! 💯👌🙏🕊
One like button is not enough for this video. Ad majorem Dei gloriam!
I never realized that "awe" and "fear" are the two most prominent emotions i have in my journey in faith.
The Catholic Church is a miracle.
It really is.
I am at present becoming a Catholic; I found this so very helpful.
With so many people not even believing in God these anxious days, I compliment you on your choice and pray you are inspired by the Holy Spirit! 🙏🕊✝🕊
I am starting to make inquiry into the Catholic faith. God bless is both & lead us to him🙏🏻✝️
Beware! The Bible says these things -
1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”
Luke 1:46-47 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
1 Corinthians 10:4 “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.”
1 Samuel 2:2 “There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
Mark 7:7. “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
Better to be a born again Christian. Find a home Bible study group just like the first Christians.
you are setting yourself up to vista a torture chamber ..not a good choice.I would look elsewhere..amen
I love this Church. :) I can doubt so many things in this world, but I find safe ground in the Catholic Church.
Me too! Amen!
This documentary played a pivotal role in my path to the Christian faith several years ago, from hedonism and the occult. I’m now a catechumen in the Eastern Orthodox Church, but will be forever grateful to Bishop Barron for helping me let go of the fear and unearned bitterness against catholicism and showing me that the path to Christ can be paved with intellect, beauty, and depth in a way I had not previously seen. Without this unique evangelism I would not have found the true church nor the faith I have now that has brought me so much strength, comfort, awe and love through extremely challenging times. Thank you all for making this available and free to the public, I pray that it will move and inspire many others as it did to me.
Do NOT go into Schism!
I send you greetings from another Catechumen of the Eastern Orthodox Church, the ROCOR. As an ex catholic, the Papal Protestant Church, I pray that the Orthodox Church stands strong pure and uncorrupted forever. This documentary is one of the best I have ever seen. May God bless and keep the remnants of the Catholic Church Orthodox and pure, as the church under Francis' control has become a vessel of Satan.
I love how fundamentalists play king of the judean hill like a bunch of children playing tribal treehouse. Sweet lordvespycyrus do they look silly.
@@katedevoyBlessings on the Eastern Orthodox...they might not be "vessels of satan," but how effective is their influence in the world??... If their influence is only to smack Catholics, I pray then you make us very holy!
Perhaps consider Eastern Catholicism. Those are the true Orthodox.
Great show… please pray for the Church…. Please pray for all Catholics… and our fellow Christians
Protestant’s are NOT Christian. Only Jesus can found a Church NOT man
Our RCIA was a little behind because the normal catechist came down with an illness, so we watched these videos while a new catechist came up to speed. Watching this again brings back warm memories.
Bp. Barron did an incredible job in evangelizing thru social media. Let's pray for him.🙏🙏🙏
I'm watching this during Lent 2024 after binge watching the first three seasons of The Chosen. This video crystalizes for me who Jesus was and is from the Catholic perspective. Rev Bishop Barron weaves the life of Jesus with the prophecies of the Old Testament in a way that few people realize actually foretold Christ's coming and the reason for His coming. I knew this but the way Rev. Barron describes it-made it so REAL to me. Thank you Rev. Barron!!!
Bishop Barron helped me to get back to the Catholic church.❤️
¡QUE VIVA CRISTO REY!
Oh Im so in love with Catholicism!
That’s wonderful!!!🤩
Fall in love with Jesus instead.
@@usergodcandy777 Being in love with the Catholic Church means being part of Christ’s bride.
@usergodcandy777 There ain't no difference bud!
@@usergodcandy777to fall in love with Catholicism is to be in love with Jesus. You do know what occurs every Sunday Mass right?
The best present on Christmas. I have been in love with this series since I first watched it years ago on EWTN. I wish I had the money to buy the series but I do not. So am always thrilled when I have the chance to watch any of it. On of the greatest evangelizing tools ever to spring from the mind and heart of Bishop Barron.
What a gift to all Catholics and those that are believers in Jesus. So powerful. Thank you
Read the gospels...
@@lorenzobianchini4415 the entire dang video is based on the gospels lol
@@newytrecomends4318 Yes I know that.People who read the gospels,listen to the gospels at Mass etc should be well acquainted with Jesus and not talk as if they were learning about him for the first time thanks to the Archbishop. !!!!
@@lorenzobianchini4415I recommend you read John 3:16
Barron is gifted as a great teacher. And he knows his stuff. Amen and thankyou Father.
Merry Christmas Bishop Barron and to all watching ❤
Looks like a much younger Bishop?
Thankyou Pauline, merry Christmas and a happy new year 🌱
May you be blessed with many asses to work your fields
"We won!!' Christ won! Tats what I always think when I go to Rome! Jesus and Mary are everywhere in Rome!!
❤️
Amen 🙏🏽
Thank you, Bishop Robert Barron for those excellent videos on our Lord and our great Catholic faith. Please release all the Catholicism videos so that all can watch them. 🙏🏼✝✝✝🙏🏼
😭🥺🥺🥺🥰 I love Jesus and the catholic church
I've been waiting for years for this series to be rereleased ! It help solidify my desire to be fully Catholic when I came back to Holy Mother Church in 2014 ! Thank you Father God for using Bishop Barron and his team to bring the beauty of the true Light and his church into our suffering world ! May God be praised!! Gracias
Jesus my lord and savior ❤
What a blessing from God to grow in his true Catholic faith. Love to be Catholic❤✝️⛪
God bless Dear Bishop✝️😊🙏
Amen 🌄
The use of art and photography here is splendid.
I’m not judging or condemning anyone in another denomination….I will not be judged or condemned! 😊😊😊
I “reverted” back to the faith right when Bishop Barron put out these videos for free on TH-cam (it was like a 24 hour thing, a new video each day) It helped me dive so much deeper into my faith. I learned a lot and wanted to learn more! Thank you Bishop and God bless! 🙏🏽
Reformed Christian here who loves Bishop Barron. Look8ng forward to this.
Thank you Bishop Barron. God bless you and keep you ❤
Merry Christmas. Please keep me and my children in your prayers. It’s been a tough three years. But I got so much closer to Jesus because of it. Being a single mother with children with special needs can be difficult at times. I’m struggling. Struggling to buy groceries struggling to pay rent every month is a battle. My health is also not the best since having a heart attack two years ago and I’m battling lupus. Jesus heal me. I trust your plan Lord. Lord please protect and provide for my boys. It’s challenging having two sons on the spectrum. Thanks to God my children have made so much progress. I will keep faith in you Lord Jesus no matter my struggles. Thank you Jesus. ❤

AMAZING AND FRIGHTENING. A JEWELL
As Catholic Christians, today, more than ever, we have to know what we believe. Yes, indeed, we have to re-discover and learn the GOSPEL and the person of JESUS-CHRIST ! We have to clean our FAITH from all useless and false things that the world introduced in our minds! Let's be focus on FAITH, HOPE and CHARITY/LOVE, The Holy Mass, daily prayer and the teachings of the HOLY CHURCH
Big Thanks Bishop Barron and Word On Fire team for this one of a kind presentation of Jesus Christ at this Christmas time✨⭐🌟 Praying for a blessing on the entire world 🌍🙏
Thank you very much for this precious gift, Bishop. We love you and pray for you.
What a nice surprise this is 💙🙏🏾💙🙏🏻💙 it always amazes me that Jesus born 2000 years ago , an ordinary man and with a very small amount of disciples made an indelible mark on humanity like no other man in history...Surely this man IS the Son of God.
I am so in love with the Word on Fire. Thank you for the blessings about our Lord Jesus!
I loved the Catholicism series!
This beautiful & insightful retelling is AMAZING & INSPIRING! For me, it was a Divine (if I may be so bold) gift to appear here on TH-cam tonight, Christmas evening 2023. Thank you!
Bishop Baron, this is beautiful, amazing and touching to the core. God bless you for your ever commitment to that which you were Sent to do.
God bless your people. Mother Mary, Mother of God cover us with your mantle. Amen
Will the entire DVD series be on TH-cam?
We’ll see let’s take it one episode at a time.
In the Catholic way…yes…the series will be on TH-cam…
You could avail the series for free via mail subscription in honor of their tenth anniversary actually.
Excellent.
I made my confirmation as an adult. My priest lent me these dvds as my RCIA. I hope you play the whole series.
We are blessed by your ability to make all this history come alive
An amazing spiritual Christmas gift. Hope you post more DVD of this serie. A true gem to polish our soul. Thank you Bishop Barron. And Merry Christmas to you and your team!!! 🎄🎁🎄
This series is what introduced me to then Father Barron. I saw it on PBS. I am so glad I turned the tv on that night!!!!
UNBELIEVABLE PRESENTATION, KEN DAVIS ROCKY MTS.
Thank you Father. We love you Jesus. Send us your Spirit. Help us to be your hands and heart among your people, your creation. Build up your Church. Help us to bring about your Kingdom. We long to see your Face and live with you for eternity in your divine Love.
Beautiful!.... God Almighty bless you Bishop Barron...Merry Christmas
I got chills at 20:08 to 20:14 Ezekiel’s prophecy. WOW!
I remember watching this in Theology class freshman year of high school and being incredibly bored. Then my started watching Barron’s TH-cam channel at around 17 to help answer some spiritual/theological questions I had at the time. At this point I’ve seen almost all of Barron’s videos all the way through… except this one lol.
I was raised a strict and dedicated Catholic from southern europe. Daily rosary, monthly confession, the whole nine. And all those old school catholics know we never referred to ourselves as Christians. That was a different religion. We were catholics. Only recently have Catholics slid themselves under the banner of Christianity to become more inclusive
I was dedicated until I read the Holy Bible. My goodness brethern. I realised I had so much religion and no God. So much of the Catholic tradition directly contradicts the Holy Scriptures. Even my beloved parents have big statues of Mary. That alone breaks my heart and puts my stomach in knots.
Read the Bible and let The Holy Spirit teach you.
you grew up as a catholic but never read the bible? sad and pathetic
I've been waiting for this series for years! A priest at my church who was fresh from the seminary hosted a number of movie nights when this first came out, and even during my more rebellious teenage years I wouldn't miss a week. Thank you Your Grace
Thank you for this series. I look foward to more. God bless you and keep the Holy Spirit with you, our bishop Barron 🙏
Bishop Barron,incredible documentary, love your knowledge of Jesus,his life,geography of where Jesus lived,walked,preached……Thank you Bishop,God Bless
this series brought me back to church when I first watched it. thank you bishop Barron!
hi Greeting and Blessing
Buy the series. You will watch it over and over again. It is outstanding
Where can I get it pls?
@@efosaokoro3343 i second this, where can we get it??
It's free on TH-cam
Beautiful! Keep up the good work Word on Fire Ministries.
I learned something new about what kingdom of God Means. Thank you Bishop Barron for the Video
Thank you Monseñor, this is a tremendous gift to share with friends and family. We got it when you released initially and watched with family, it was one key to sustain our children's faith. Highly recommended. Question: when will you release it in spanish?
thank you so much for making this content avaliable to all of us
What a Christmas present this was. Beautiful
Glory to Jesus Christ 🙏☦️♥️
Wow!! Amazing documentary you put together here Bishop Barron. God bless you, I am so happy we have you as our bishop of the Winona diocese. This was beautiful like all your talks you make.
Awesome documentary! Mastefully told by Bishop Robert Barron. What an indescribably poweful story.
Thank you bishop! God bless you. This was an incredible documentary. Your excellence in spreading the gospel is indescribable. Our faith is beautiful.
Jesus was a layman. Gives us all hope, doesn't it
This is just incredible. I can’t wait to see the rest! Thank you, Bishop Barron, and everyone involved! My favourite part was this: “We become what we worship. We conform ourselves to what we consider the highest good. God wanted His people to praise Him so that they might become like Him.” 🤍 Thank you. 🙏🏻
What a gift! I keep rewatching it, 4 times now hahahha. Thank you. I hope we can maybe get all the series?
Bless you all.
Bless you Bishop Barron!
Dear Father, may You illuminate, protect, guide and govern Bishop Barron and his team, friends and family always and forever. Amen
what an awesome christmas gift! shared it with everyone i know. thanks bishop barron! 💜💜💜
I watched this Catholicism series in my RCIA classes in 2019. It was first how I was introduced to Bishop Robert Barron. I'm glad to see this again on TH-cam, hope the rest will be released. Will be a blessing to those curious about the ancient holy faith.
I caught this on PBS back in 2012. It reverted me from my college agnostic apathy.
Thank you Bishop Barron.
I watched this when it first came out but watching it again I am struck by the thought and prayer that the whole world will see this and watch it over and over again until we get it and embrace all that the story of Catholicism entails
This was so good!
What a gift! Thank you so much!
Yes! I remember happening upon this documentary on PBS years ago, when I was still a kid. I’ve always wanted to see the whole thing. Thank you for posting it!
❤❤beautiful ! thank you🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Bishop Barron 🙏 very enriching video ❤ May the Holy Spirit continue to strengthen and encourage you 🙏 ❤️ 🙌
I like this series better than the Symbolon one
Wonderfully put together & powerfully presented. Thank -you Rev Barron now Bishop.
Thank you for this wonderful gift Bishop. Back in 2011, I was dreaming of being able to watch this documentary. You were not a Bishop at that time. Saw the trailer here in YT. Though was still in Uni back then, I don’t have enough money to buy the disc copy nor have Amazon deliver it in my country because I live in Asia. I love listening to you Bp. Im one of your silent fans. Merry Christmas and A Blessed New Year to come. Much Love, from a fellow Catholic from the Philippines.
Try your local library. You may be able to borrow a copy.
Bishop Barron is such a profound speaker, this is only episode one and I'm deep in thought. Jesus is Lord.
I love my Catholic faith, our Catholic church, and our Catholic Family!!!
God Bless our Catholic Church and Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to you and yours!
Thank You Bishop Barron making this available for all...Thank You for all crews who work around the masterpiece...it's beauty inspires us and light our spiritual path to the Divine Love and Mercy.. Thank you all, Praise Jesus in the Most High, Amen.
Thank you so much for making this available to all, I so long to watch it , thank thank you thank you
Bishop Barron's enthusiasm really shone through in this DVD!
Merry Christmas Bishop Barron! 🎄✝️ Thank you for Episode one of your Catholicism Series!
Jesus is the Messia. Hallelujah! This is an amazing documentary. God bless you, Bishop.
What a great documentary to watch this morning. Sometimes I dread to see what drama is going to unfold itself today in the church or in the world. And then our Master comes proclaiming peace. Thank you Lord Jesus.
What a beautiful documentary well written thank you 😊
I ordered this series because there is always something to learn and remember.
I got chills and tears and joy in my heart.
Just watched this for the very first time...once it was over, I immediately went to the WoF store and bought the entire DVD set. It's cheaper to buy on Amazon, but I would rather spend more to have the money go directly to the ministry. Thank you as always for the riveting content, Bishop. Merry Christmas, and may the new year bring a multitude of blessings to you and the entire WoF staff!
