Bishop, this year, finding your content brought me back to my faith. Tonight, for the first time since childhood, I’m going to midnight mass. For the first time in their lives, my sons and husband will go to a Christmas mass!!! (A mass period!) Thank you so much and may God bless you and our church. My novena intention today is that this year, we grow stronger as a family in our love for each other, with God. And next year we bring that out to the community, to folks struggling. That’s the dream… but tonight, another dream comes true, I will be with my family at a mass for the first time. Hoping my sons may be catechized this year… perhaps baptized. Baby steps. But thank you! I pray rosary with you every day and yesterday I gave my son’s fiancé a rosary and showed her the word on fire app. Love that there is a lot of Spanish content because that’s her mother tongue. Thanks for everything!!! ❤❤❤❤
That is so true. He uses your tragedies, your heartache, to meet with you finally. I finally know what it means to have a relationship with Jesus. For me, the meeting of Jesus with the Samaritan woman at the well is the most touching. He will be there for you when you are your lowest point.
I PRAISE JESUS! Even as I’m struggling providing for my children. I will keep faith. I get harassed and called names simply for sharing my testimony and asking for prayers. But prayers are all I WANT. I fell on hard times because I was fired from my job as a social worker at Forsyth Hospital because I declined the vaccine. I was denied my medical/religious exemption. I declined because of my pre existing health condition lupus and heart disease. I wish I could go back to the hospital but unfortunately the mandate is still in place all hospitals workers must be vaccinated against covid 19 for hospitals that participate in Medicare and Medicaid. I’m waitressing AND I’m SO THANKFUL, but I’m not making nearly as much as I use too. My husband died years ago. I’m all alone, As a single mother with two autistic children things are so overwhelming on me because my boys require a lot from me. Every month is a struggle to pay bills and to put food on the table. BUT our Heavenly Father gives me courage to not give up because I want to. I’m so discouraged but even as I face homelessness almost every month and even as I get put down and mocked because of my situation and choice. I will keep faith in God! He has provided this far. Please pray for me and my boys. God bless. Merry Christmas.
Hi there, have you considered the Novavax vaccine, still has risks but was made the traditional way without genetic technology is my understanding. Of course with your lupus and heart disease, would seem wise to consult with your doctor first. Best to you in tough times.
4:51 I’m not being critical of you but perhaps if you could take a vaccination and think mostly of your 2 autistic children life would improve in terms of your resources. If I put myself in your shoes I could only think of making it better for my kids with more money to provide for their needs. I would be secondary in it.
Mary CHRISTmass everyone! let the joy of a coming child in the family enthrall us again and again...and again. Thank you bishop barron. God bless bishop.
Indeed, it's incredibly extraordinary that God wanted to be so close to us, He became as helpless as a baby, which was a way that we would be drawn to Him, so that He could transform us. I read a commentary in a Bible once that talked about how an atheist farmer wanted to help some birds out in the cold, but his attempts didn't work, because he was a big person who kept scaring them away. He wished he could become a bird to more easily relate to them.
Merry Christmas to you and to everyone on the channel I wanted to touch upon the word family the word family is defined in so many ways but I think in the Catholic way is defined by being together and supporting an uplifting one another just like the way we should be taking care of the vulnerable,the babies,the elderly,the sick and so on. I asked if you and everyone here could please pray, for those who have family, but at the same time do not have family, for so many reasons, for those who feel alone. Let us all pray for those who are alone, who feel alone l,who are lonely, because I feel that that is the greatest travesty of our times. May God and the baby Jesus give comfort and Solace and peace to everyone and especially to those who are alone and feel alone. Baby Jesus come and visit and stay with all who are feeling this way. Amen!
I love your preaching, Bishop Barron (I’d refer to you with your title to show respect, but I forget the referent for a Bishop) Your demeanor and presence make me feel welcome.
Babies have a profound effect on us. When I joined the DuPont Company over forty years ago as a researcher DuPont was just instituting paid six-weeks maternity leave. It became somewhat customary toward the end of maternity leave for the employee to come to the building with their newborn and visit with her work group. The work stopped, people relaxed, the problems at hand did not seem so overwhelming. For a short time, we were connected at a fundamental human level. I suggested to the manager that we should have childcare available in the building so that we could have "baby breaks" . DuPont never did that, but other companies have instituted on-site child care.
such a wonderful sermon Bishop Baron. I do hope young Catholics are listening. I am 80 years old, spent 7 years in a convent and so wish Jesus had presented to us in this way. After many years I came to the conclusion that the Commandments were God helping us to live our best life and that he is a loving God. Thank you
Thank you Bishop Barron for this wonderful Christmas sermon; God coming to us as a baby!!! And you are so right Bishop a baby is IRESSISTABLE!!! But to imagine holding in our arms THIS IRESSISTABLE BABY WHO IS GOD!!! This goes beyond what I could have imagined!!! And yet this is the TRUTH!!! Well said Bishop Barron!!! This whole sermon is powerful in TRUTH!!! Now every time I will see a baby I will not be surprised if I remember the words you spoke in this sermon!!! May you have a very Blessed, Happy and Holy Christmas surrounded by the Loving Presence of our Lord Jesus always Bishop Barron!!!
JOYEUX NOEL FROM BRUSSELS MARRY CHRISTMAS. WONDERFUL HOMELY I THANK GOD TO HAVE GIVEN THE WORLD A PROPHET LIKE YOU. PLEASE CONTINUE EVANGELIZING AS OUR MODERN WORLD DESPERATELY NEEDS IT. I KEEP YOU AND YOUR TEAM IN MY PRAYERS
The best Christmas our family ever had was the one in which our 5th grandchild was present, at 9 hours old, having been born just before midnight. It was magical having a truly newborn baby amongst us. God bless you, Your Grace, for reminding us all so vividly of the Wonder of new birth.
Bishop Barron, thank you for your beautiful homily "God became a baby". It was so relevant for us this year and an eye-opener ; as we gathered around the newest, most irresistible member of our family , our month old grandson. You enlightened us with a new more human perspective of The Nativity of Our Lord and Savior. God bless you and your ministry.
Merry Christmas Bishop Barron. As always, thank for the way you unpack this scriptures week after week. Thanks be to God for answering His call to the Priesthood and this Holy office
Merry Christmas Bishop Barron, Merry Christmas to you and to all your family members , and to all my Catholic brothers and sisters in the whole world. Merry Christmas to everyone. Thank you Bishop Barron, your sermon today was the best. GOD bless you abundantly. Have a wonderful Christmas ➕❤🎂🎁🎄🎅🎸
Yes Bishop Barron, this is so true Someone, I can't remember who, but they said we could see the face of Jesus in every newborn baby, and since I heard that, I have found that to be so true, and so beautiful to see Merry Christmas Bishop Barron
Your sermon is a relief from the sentimental stories of the nativity that go on and on each year. I suspect that your Hound of Heaven refers to Francis Thompson's poem about God's never-ending quest for us. Bravo, Bishop Barron.
Merry Christmas, Bishop Barron! Your daily devotions and sermons have meant so much to me throughout this past year. Thank you for all you do to evangelize to all people, but especially to thinking people who consider themselves intellectuals, and find all kinds of reasons not to believe. Both your erudition and the simple power of your spirit-filled faith are so enlightening and hard to refute or resist.
I love your sermon, Bishop Barron! You make the readings so clear with your explanations! I could listen to you forever and never tire of your teachings! Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄
I love what God has done for me. I enjoy experiencing his presence through the efforts of Bishop Barron and Word on Fire ministries 🙏❤️✝️ God bless them both always.
I love to go to the Mass every day to adore and thanksgiving Him . That is the way to thank you God: attend Mass with my heart more frequently! Thank you Lord and Bishop Barron! ❤❤❤
Thank you for your inspiring and comforting words. I just went to Christmas Eve mass yesterday and it was reminiscent of an episode of Americas got Talent. No reverence all show. I didn’t recognize the jazzed up version of the Our Father. Thank you for putting words and prayers foremost.
Blessed Holidays to you Bishop Baron! You are the light that will shine bright for all of us listening this approaching New Year! Tante belle cose a te e a ta famiglia! Many beautiful things to you!
Thank you, Bishop Barron, for your beautiful Sunday homilies and especially this Christmas homily. God's love and relentless pursuit of us is breathtaking and when I try to grasp how wonderful that is, I'm overwhelmed. Merry Christmas to you and everyone at Word on Fire!
Merry Christmas Bishop Barron. Because of your teaching and online presence I’m more closer to God than ever. I’m also happy and proud to be a Catholic. Whereas, before I had my doubts. Thank you, thank you!

For me, the meeting of Jesus with the Samaritan woman at the well is the most touching. He will be there for you when you are your lowest point.

Well that's ridiculous and isn't shame such a deeply loving god doesn't do anything about babies born with cancer

Your sermons and praying the rosary three times is the way that I'm celebrating the holiday season. 🙏
Thank you great message. Today,,God bless all the babies who never made it past the womb for whatever reason , and their mothers.
God became a baby to relate to humanity.
Wow! Never saw Christmass with this magnificent light the Lord has provided to your ministry. God bless you, Bishop Barron.
I love your preaching, Bishop Barron (I’d refer to you with your title to show respect, but I forget the referent for a Bishop) Your demeanor and presence make me feel welcome.
Your Excellency!
The word 'adorable' come from the Latin Adorablis (worthy of worship) Christ the child is worthy of worship and adoration indeed!
Merry Christmas!
Thank you, it just "hit" me that our fallen world today, puts our GOD in danger. We must help Him. We must save Him as He saved us! Pray!
