Bishop Baron, you and Jordan Peterson have brought me back to God. I was raised Catholic. I was Baptist, had my first communion, and in the 8th grade I did confirmation. As I got older I lost my faith for so many reasons. But by the grace of God I stumbled upon you and Jordan Peterson...I am awake now. Thank you so much and God bless you.
I hear you Bishop Barron 24/7...My Sister Shelly (passed 3/05/20), turned me onto you before her death....she left me with a great "Word on Fire" forever...I thank you each and every day.
When Moses climbed the mountain to pray to God, God said to Moses, 'Take off your shoes because you are standing on holy ground.' Moses then knew what God wanted him to do and he did it. Immediately.
This reminds me of Mother Theresa's saying that God does not require we do great things but that we do small things with great love. The smallest self-sacrifice for the good of another is indeed letting Christ live through us.
Deep in prayer, my cross to wear I kneel upon the floor Temptations of a catholic priest aren't easy to ignore But I can not control myself He rips my soul apart For one small sheep among my flock has Stolen the shepherd's heart Altar boy, altar boy Confess your sins to me You will find the grace of God Inside my rectory Sunday mass or bible class I catch him in my view I close my eyes but there he lies Spread-eagle on the pew And when I see him in that frock My conscience goes awry I'll give him some communion wine thats Spiked with Spanish fly Altar boy, altar boy Is it gonna be heaven or hell? You can play my organ all night long If you promise never to tell ... Our father Who art in heaven Hallowed be thy name... I could dress him up like the pope and then I'd... Oh dear god, the shame, oh no Lead us not into temptation Deliver us from sin Or we could pretend that he was Jesus Christ and I was Mary Magdalene Altar boy, oh altar boy Confess your sins to me You will find the grace of God Inside my rectory
Beautifully said friend. Please watch the warning or illumination of conscience by Christine Watkins! Then The Papacy can not be destroyed. Then a video entitled Don’t call protestant’s Christian. God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!!
✝️Bishop Baron, i feel so Blessed and Humbled How You Bring Scripture to Life by the Power and Grace of the Holy Spirit. You are by far truly a Master when it comes to Theology, and Our Faith and Religion. Truly blessed how you used your years of devoted studies and expertise, to dedicate yourself to work with, renowned Scholars. Yet not only Help fighting for Our Faith, but most importantly, the devotion and passion you have with Scripture, and Spreading the Word. May God Keep You, and those who help, contribute, with Word on Fire. You are most definitely a role model for many. God Bless. Amen 👆🏻🕊🙏🏼❤️🤲🏼✝️. 🙏🏼
When I sin and fail, and feel the guilt of it, I remember that Jesus willingly suffered all he did for my sake. If he was willing to go through the depths of suffering for me, surely He will not give up on me now. I have vowed to myself that when I sin, I will pray.
A less gifted theologian would have presented a talk on the “economy of salvation” (HOW we are saved). But Bishop Barron presents the topic in a way that is rooted in Scripture (for this alone, thank you, God) and is highly memorable. A prophet among us, indeed.
Bishop Baron ur ever passages u read is ver intriguing my soul my heart loves it all. Very fortifying. Keep ur talks love hearing you. You put everthing u have in the sermon god bless
At this time in Eternity the Catholic Church is ISRAEL. The suffering SERVANT IS JESUS. He suffered greatly for our salvation. People are fickle, as it was then it is now. Jesus is being mocked, beaten, rejected today as He was back then, by the ones who should be giving their lives to defend HIM IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE! AMEM.🕊
I was Lector at the Vigil Mass, reading these passages from Isaiah. It made me think of how we need to be prepared to suffer for our faith in these times, so increasingly anti-Christian. I pray that I will be able to hold fast to my faith when those around me mock me and accuse me. Help me Lord to suffer for you, and align my will to yours.
Well said! What we need is to grow in our love for God, and arrive even at a perfect love of God. This is possible by God's grace. When we love God sincerely, we do his will notwithstanding all the difficulties we come across. Grace is more powerful than sin. I’m publishing a weekly TH-cam video on episodes from the life of Don Bosco, entitled ST JOHN BOSCO by JOE ZAMMIT. In this series I’m narrating events and miracles from the splendid life of Don Bosco. St John Bosco used to perform a miracle almost every day, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians. From the lives of saints we can learn how to love God more and draw closer to him. Thank you
The only person at the cross..........his beloved Mother! From John the Baptist (in the womb) leaping for joy to our amazing Mother only shows the greatness of our living God's love through Mother Mary at the foot of the cross!
"What language shall I borrow to thank Thee, dearest friend, For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine forever, and should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never outlive my love to Thee."
Thank you for mentioning motherhood, Bishop. This past year I went through a very difficult pregnancy and one of my other children spent weeks in the hospital. I am sad to see people holding onto the culture’s mantras of looking inward to determine truth, because in the face of intense suffering-of blood clots or racing in an ambulance with your daughter-these mantras become folly. Only in a scope that includes this peculiar, suffering God do these dark moments seem redeemable. ✝️🙏🏻
Bishop Barron, I love your Sunday homilies. They come to life in my thoughts and mind. I always have a better understanding of Scripture after listening to you. Thank you for being You.
The passage from Isaiah is sung often at Christmas time in England during performances of Handel’s Messiah. Thank you again Bp Barron. Without your sermon my Sunday is not complete.
greatly said it Bishop Robert Barron and that movie that you mention is good but for me the one we made in Mexico Jesus el Nazareno natural and clear as crystal water
I caNNOT BEGIN TO THANK YOU LORD FOR THIS PANDEMIC (NOT THE VIRUS) because I came to know many pastors and shepherds who relentlessly, lovingly, passionately enduringly work in your vineyard for the many lost, least, last, and disafilliated souls like me. Never giving up. Thank you for ushering me back to my faith and for deepening my love and understanding of how you have love me and the rest of humanity through them. I have come to appreciate the richness of my Catholic faith. O how I thirst to know more about You. My prayers for Pope Francis, Cardinal Chito, Cardinal Joe, Bishop Robert Barron, Bishop Ambo David, Father Chris Alar, Father Dave Concepcion, Father Jerry Orbos and many many more priests who continue to proclaim your love and mercy. God bless their ministries.
Can I say it? I love you, bishop. I share many of your homilies and daily reflexions. I say this to console you from so many who say ill of you. You teach me to be catholic and to love Jesus. I pray for you. Please pray for me. I know you must pray for all of us, that listen to you. Thank you. :) From Fátima.
Bishop Barron, without mentioning the evil plaguing itself throughout our present-day world, you gave the definitive explanation and insight into the all-powerful GOD who saves us! Love this homily.
The greatest love story of Gods love for His people!...The truth of the world. So dramatically carried out and now narrated in a very inspiring manner!👍😀💖💟🙋🙌🌹🌹🌹
Thank you Bishop Barron what you preached reminded me again of our salvation by the Son Of God Jesus Christ! Also the great challenge to accept it and live It! By His wounds we were healed by His blood redeemed! Amen!
Suffering Servant, Lord of Divine Mercy, may you bear for us the sufferings, trauma and consequences from the attacks of 9/11. Help us to love and pray for our enemies when it seems impossible.
Bishop Barron, thank you for walking us through this magnificent paradigm shift. I can only imagine the struggle the people in the time of Jesus had in accepting that Jesus was truly the Son of God establishing a new convenant with his beloved people in a way no one could imagine would be the way if it wasn't for the grace from God and the movement of the Holy Spirit. It is a deeply moving and awesome realization.This presentation did not fall upon deaf ears as I continue to process His gift to us upon His cross!
I am empowered every week by your explanation of the readings and it so helps me put into application what Jesus and God wanted us to understand. Thank you.
Very, very grateful for what you do and where you take us spiritually every week. We are indeed blessed to have you among us. From the abyss of my nothingness I thank you.
Wow different words but almost totally the same sermon as my priest Fr Peter today at Mass! Note too the different countries and timezons, that is impressive. Surely this too speaks to Truth.
I love your homilies Bishop Barron drawing us into the depths of the Word of God & its relevance to our lives today, often with very practical advice also. From an Irish listener. Paraicin
*"If Christ is God, he cannot sin, and if suffering was a sin in and by itself, he could not have suffered and died for us.* *However since he took the most horrific death to redeem us, he showed us in fact that suffering and pain have great power."* - E.A. BUCCHIANERI
Jesus' suffering was not a sin. He became sin. He became the propitiation of our sin. Remember, Jesus was all God and all man. Eve's seed, Jesus, crushed Satan's head, as predicted and spoken by God to Eve in Genesis. You have to understand that God lost His creation to Satan, because of Adam and Eve's sin, their freewill to choose. By eating the fruit, by disobeying God, Satan became the god of this world. This is where Jesus comes in. God's plan to win his creation back. Jesus paid the price of humanity's sin, Adam and Eve's sin, and the original sin that followed afterward in every human birth. However, when God's anger was once and forever appeased, when Jesus spent three days and three nights in the belly of the earth, suffering for us, He triumphantly rose from the dead, but before he rose, the Bible says, that Jesus made a 'show' of Satan and every demon in hell. Then Jesus took the keys of hell and death from Satan, and rose from the dead. Jesus was in hell unjustly. He committed no sin. He became sin for once and all-the final sacrifice--no more offering bulls and sheep for the atonement of sin. Hallelujah!
@@colleenklaus375 I'm a Catholic and a catechist who cares very deeply about truth, especially when it comes to our trinitarian God...... Much of what you write has truth, but it isn't quite the whole story. Jesus is pure love. God doesn't become sin.... we know this by understanding his very nature. God never lost his creationat all. God is the Supreme Being over all things. Adam and Eve's sins Unforgiven amongst each one of us at baptism. During the baptism those sins are washed away.. original sin. Satan is not and will never be a Supreme Being or God, even if some choose to worship Him. The evil one and his minions will never be elevated. They have no power. They are weak and they are cowardly. With all that said, I understand what you are trying to say. It is true that sometimes people have other things to which they are more attached. For some people money is a God, while for others they believe they are God. Other philosophies believe that the powers of nature represent different types of gods.... false gods. Jesus was never in hell. Let me repeat. Jesus was never in hell. Even though the Bible uses the word how to say that He descended into hell..... the word hell is simply the English translation of the Hebrew word that refers to Hades. Hades is best described in Roman and Greek mythology as the resting place before ascending to Heaven... or descending to hell. Jesus Is God, he was not subject to any other Force at all. God is omnipotent! Jesus never became sin nor could become sin by His very nature. With so many people Miss is that Jesus is pure love. His passion and sacrifice was to give us his body, blood, soul, and divinity. It's why the Eucharist is so important, as it is the means in which Jesus lives in us and we can live in Him. No one can understand God fully, simply because know Him we would have to be Him. satan is not a god nor every will be.....even if some choose to worship evil or other things. The truth is that Satan is extremely weak unless we choose to give him power. Jesus showed us many things. The most beautiful is true love- Agape..... love in service and in sacrifice as well as the virtues such as humility and charity. This was such a revelation that even the Greeks added a new word.... the word Agape.....versus eros which refers to physical love. Additionally, Jesus represented the most radical affirmation of the elevation of human life- made in God's image and likeness.... the thing that unifies all of us....... when the son of God became man in the womb of a woman...... it was the most radical affirmation of human life. It was the time when the architect became the house, or one could say the potter became the cup. Please consider following some of the Catholic apologists such as Scott Hahn and Steve Ray..... or consider visiting the website of The Magis Center of Faith. BTW, the Blessed Mother Mary was the ark of the new covenant. When she said yes it was Mary who crushed the head of satan. Jesus is the New Covenant. Pax
Jesus' passion was pure love. He emptied himself out for us. He gave us his body, blood, soul, and divinity. This is why the Eucharist is so important so that He can live in us and we can live in Him. Jesus is the most radical affirmation of the elevation of human life.... when the Son of God became man in the womb of a woman.... the potter became the cup the architect became the house. It is humility that has the most power and is the fundamental basis for all virtues. Certainly no suffering is done in vain, but Jesus did much more than suffer. It was an act of humility and an act of giving, and pure love... in service and sacrifice: agape.
Bishop Barron you are a consummate teacher. I love all of your teaching sessions. How blessed are we. Excuse me, but where are your bother Bishops? I can imagine what our holy Church would be like if we had more Bishops like you. In this culture we are poorer without their input. The laity, I feel, is getting restless. We need more of the leadership that you provide. May God bless you and your work.
Bishop Baron please don't you ever go silent! You have intensified my faith! Please doesn't matter what the haters say.... (about Media Mobs) Your words fill my mind! and GOD fills my heart.
Thank you Bishop Baron and the WOF team for the reflection on today's bible readings. I am praying this message reaches many people and the spirit moves them to listen and be changed!
It's hard to recognize the opportunities we have in our everyday activities to share in Christ's suffering by relieving the burdens of others when it is inconvenient . Thank you for the examples you give. I would love a series on the Book of Isaiah!
Thank you Bishop Barron for bringing the Scriptures to life. I always love your homilies. You give me a better understanding of the word of God May God bless you as always.
@@margokupelian344 Why do some have to suffer and others need to make sacrifices to serve them? Can't you all think of a world where no-one has to suffer? With all this glorifying of suffering and sacrifices, will there be suffering in heaven also so that we can continue making sacrifices? It's sickening.
Thank you for tying our daily sufferings and sacrifices to of Chrsit's. Your words inspire me to persevere in my own daily crosses. Thank you and God Bless. ❤
Thank you Bishop, i do wait for your sermon on Sunday. It dwells through different life situations of my daily living. Bless and pray for all of Catholics from India.
Bishop...U leave everyone...in suspense...Read, Meditate & ACT...Jeremiah 7-23 & 24...our lives...yours & mine...will change for good & permanently...GOD Bless in the Name of JESUS...Amen
When I was a kid, I thought how nice it is to be God (as foolish as I was back then thinking about it), because you can do whatever and you have all power to feel nice and enjoy everything you can; but now I know that God Himself in Christ Jesus suffered terrible suffering and agony unto death for all of us, so much so that people would stand away from Him, "nothing in his appearance that we should desire him."
Bishop Baron, you and Jordan Peterson have brought me back to God. I was raised Catholic. I was Baptist, had my first communion, and in the 8th grade I did confirmation.

Deep in prayer, my cross to wear
I kneel upon the floor
Temptations of a catholic priest aren't easy to ignore
But I can not control myself
He rips my soul apart
For one small sheep among my flock has
Stolen the shepherd's heart
Altar boy, altar boy
Confess your sins to me
You will find the grace of God
Inside my rectory
Sunday mass or bible class
I catch him in my view
I close my eyes but there he lies
Spread-eagle on the pew
And when I see him in that frock
My conscience goes awry
I'll give him some communion wine thats
Spiked with Spanish fly
Altar boy, altar boy
Is it gonna be heaven or hell?
You can play my organ all night long
If you promise never to tell
... Our father
Who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name...
I could dress him up like the pope and then I'd...
Oh dear god, the shame, oh no
Lead us not into temptation
Deliver us from sin
Or we could pretend that he was Jesus Christ
and I was Mary Magdalene
Altar boy, oh altar boy
Confess your sins to me
You will find the grace of God
Inside my rectory

Jesus is the most radical affirmation of the elevation of human life.... when the Son of God became man in the womb of a woman.... the potter became the cup the architect became the house.
It is humility that has the most power and is the fundamental basis for all virtues. Certainly no suffering is done in vain, but Jesus did much more than suffer. It was an act of humility and an act of giving, and pure love... in service and sacrifice: agape.
@@jenniferwinston7842 What is?
Thank you. I appreciate your words, but I must scriptural disagree.
Bishop Barron I’m learning so much from you. Praise the Lord and thank you. 🙏
Bishop Barron you are a consummate teacher. I love all of your teaching sessions. How blessed are we. Excuse me, but where are your bother Bishops? I can imagine what our holy Church would be like if we had more Bishops like you. In this culture we are poorer without their input. The laity, I feel, is getting restless. We need more of the leadership that you provide. May God bless you and your work.
Bishop Baron please don't you ever go silent! You have intensified my faith! Please doesn't matter what the haters say.... (about Media Mobs) Your words fill my mind! and GOD fills my heart.
Bishop, I heard your homily on the Memorial of St. John Chrysostom: thanks God for YOUR golden-mouth!!!!!
Thank you Bishop Baron and the WOF team for the reflection on today's bible readings. I am praying this message reaches many people and the spirit moves them to listen and be changed!
It's hard to recognize the opportunities we have in our everyday activities to share in Christ's suffering by relieving the burdens of others when it is inconvenient . Thank you for the examples you give. I would love a series on the Book of Isaiah!
Thank you Bishop Barron for bringing the Scriptures to life. I always love your homilies. You give me a better understanding of the word of God May God bless you as always.
Amen to that. It’s a grace from God when we are given opportunities to sacrifice ourselves for others bc we will be imitating Christ. God bless you!
Cathy Branly,
It may very well be that Word On Fire organise some online Scripture Study definitely in future for the benefit of one and all.

Why do some have to suffer and others need to make sacrifices to serve them? Can't you all think of a world where no-one has to suffer? With all this glorifying of suffering and sacrifices, will there be suffering in heaven also so that we can continue making sacrifices? It's sickening.

Is that all what you have to comment? Or is it a matter of the 'attitude?'
This theme of a sacrifice to benefit others and of one going down so the others get up has been central in my life lately. God bless you my Bishop.
Muy bien dicho y explicado, una lección del Mesías Siervo. Paz y Bien.
An excellent, inspiring and edifying homily. Thank you, Bishop Barron.
Thank you Bishop
I have such a feeling of calm and peace when I hear you preach. You bring more out of these readings. Thank you Bishop, love you
Another sermon that is par excellence!

Thank you for tying our daily sufferings and sacrifices to of Chrsit's. Your words inspire me to persevere in my own daily crosses. Thank you and God Bless. ❤
I've watched this three times today. Thank you Bishop Barron!
Thank you Bishop, i do wait for your sermon on Sunday. It dwells through different life situations of my daily living.
Bless and pray for all of Catholics from India.
O for a thousand teachers of the faith like Bp. Barron! Pray for good catechesis in all our schools of N. America!
Bishop...U leave everyone...in suspense...Read, Meditate & ACT...Jeremiah 7-23 & 24...our lives...yours & mine...will change for good & permanently...GOD Bless in the Name of JESUS...Amen
I love your Creed videos. This, it seems, is along the same lines of THE Creed talks. Thank you, Bishop Barron.
When I was a kid, I thought how nice it is to be God (as foolish as I was back then thinking about it), because you can do whatever and you have all power to feel nice and enjoy everything you can; but now I know that God Himself in Christ Jesus suffered terrible suffering and agony unto death for all of us, so much so that people would stand away from Him, "nothing in his appearance that we should desire him."
Amén Bishop Baron! Thank you for this word of life.
