Hints of the Holy Spirit - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-05-04 | Friends, we’re getting very close to Pentecost, the great feast of the descent of the Spirit.

The Apostle of the Blood of Christ: St. Catherine of Siena Bishop Robert Barron 2024-04-29 | Friends, on this feast of St. Catherine of Siena, I invite you to watch the “Pivotal Players” episode about her life and vocation. Though this fourteenth-century mystic and Doctor of the Church never studied theology, and in fact never formally learned how to read or write, her life constitutes a powerful challenge to the flattened-out secularism of our time.

The Enduring Relevance of St. Thomas Aquinas Bishop Robert Barron 2024-04-29 | Friends, most in contemporary secular culture have probably never heard of the name “Thomas Aquinas.” However, his thought remains more pertinent than ever—not only to theology and philosophy but also to current conversations on how to build a more stable, just, and prosperous political order. Today, we discuss the evergreen genius of St. Thomas Aquinas and how his legacy continues in the life and work of the contemporary Dominican theologian Fr. Paul Murray. A listener asks, does the devil know that his rebellion is ultimately futile?00:00 | Intro 01:12 | Bishop Barron in Rome 02:01 | Aquinas’ impact on Bishop Barron’s formation 03:56 | Why medieval thinkers like Aquinas still matter 06:18 | The relationship between metaphysics and ethics 07:29 | God as Being itself rather than as the greatest of beings 12:43 | How God can be both transcendent and immanent 15:58 | God’s non-competitive relationship with Creation 21:29 | Defining true human and social goods 23:00 | Does metaphysical speculation have a role in politics? 25:45 | Fr.

It’s Time for Some Pruning - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-04-27 | Friends, the Lord Jesus Christ is not a teacher from a distant age, not someone from long ago we remember fondly, not a moral exemplar; rather, he is a field of force. We don’t just listen to him or imitate him; we live in him. Our Gospel for this Fifth Sunday of Easter gives us one of the most beautiful and powerful images for this truth: Jesus is the vine, and we are the branches. But there is a dark side to this wonderful organic imagery: the Father is the vine grower, and he is going to prune away all that is in us that is preventing the life of Christ from manifesting itself.Mass Readings: Reading 1 - Acts 9:26-31Psalm - Ps 22:26-27, 28, 30, 31-32Reading 2 - 1 Jn 3:18-24Gospel - Jn 15:1-8———VIDEO LINKS———Quod Scripsi, Scripsi: youtu.be/E1VRwp9zdqoEp. 21 | The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful — Joseph Pearce: youtu.be/TPAZ0za0jwsGet a Master’s Degree from the Word on Fire Institute: youtu.be/6lo1BMai-m4———WATCH———Subscribe to this Channel: bit.ly/31LV1snWord on Fire Institute Channel: youtube.com/@word-on-fireWord on Fire en Español Channel: youtube.com/@WOF-es———WORD ON FIRE———Word on Fire: wordonfire.orgWord on Fire Español: wordonfire.org/esFREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): dailycatholicgospel.com———WORD ON FIRE INSTITUTE———Join Bishop Barron and over 20,000 evangelists inside the Word on Fire Institute at https://wordonfire.institute———SOCIAL MEDIA———Bishop Barron Instagram: bit.ly/2Sn2XgDBishop Barron Facebook: bit.ly/2Sltef5Bishop Barron Twitter: bit.ly/2Hkz6yQWord on Fire Instagram: bit.ly/39sGNyZWord on Fire Facebook: bit.ly/2HmpPpWWord on Fire Twitter: bit.ly/2UKO49hWord on Fire en Español Instagram: bit.ly/38mqofDWord on Fire en Español Facebook: bit.ly/2SlthaLWord on Fire en Español Twitter: bit.ly/38n3VPt———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE———Help Bishop Barron continue to produce videos like this: bit.ly/3QSvGpoWord on Fire Store: bookstore.wordonfire.org
Three Qualities of a Good Shepherd - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-04-20 | Friends, we come to the Fourth Sunday of Easter, known as Good Shepherd Sunday. Jesus says in the Gospel, “I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” What is it about that image that sings to us across the ages, from the pages of the Bible to the present day? What I want to do is reflect on this image of the shepherd—first, in relation to Jesus, then second, in relation to leadership in the life of the Church.Mass Readings: Reading 1 - Acts 4:8-12Psalm - Ps 118:1, 8-9, 21-23, 26, 28, 29Reading 2 - 1 Jn 3:1-2Gospel - Jn 10:11-18———VIDEO LINKS———Healing Antisocial America: youtu.be/tzh88wb0B1cDeclare the Resurrection: youtu.be/fXhuanjYTkQ———WATCH———Subscribe to this Channel: bit.ly/31LV1snWord on Fire Institute Channel: youtube.com/@word-on-fireWord on Fire en Español Channel: youtube.com/@WOF-es———WORD ON FIRE———Word on Fire: wordonfire.orgWord on Fire Español: wordonfire.org/esFREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): dailycatholicgospel.com———WORD ON FIRE INSTITUTE———Join Bishop Barron and over 20,000 evangelists inside the Word on Fire Institute at https://wordonfire.institute———SOCIAL MEDIA———Bishop Barron Instagram: bit.ly/2Sn2XgDBishop Barron Facebook: bit.ly/2Sltef5Bishop Barron Twitter: bit.ly/2Hkz6yQWord on Fire Instagram: bit.ly/39sGNyZWord on Fire Facebook: bit.ly/2HmpPpWWord on Fire Twitter: bit.ly/2UKO49hWord on Fire en Español Instagram: bit.ly/38mqofDWord on Fire en Español Facebook: bit.ly/2SlthaLWord on Fire en Español Twitter: bit.ly/38n3VPt———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE———Help Bishop Barron continue to produce videos like this: bit.ly/3QSvGpoWord on Fire Store: bookstore.wordonfire.org

Healing Antisocial America Bishop Robert Barron 2024-04-15 | Friends, a recent article in The Atlantic magazine highlights the crisis of isolation befalling the United States. Americans have never been—or felt—more solitary, especially the younger generations. And the consequences are often fatal: loneliness is a major cause of the recent spikes in depression, anxiety, and suicide, which are at unprecedented levels. Today, we discuss the loss of our social bonds and how Catholic thought can help heal and re-unite us.A listener asks, given free will, does God know what choices we will make?00:00 | Intro01:23 | Bishop Barron’s recent USCCB and diocesan work02:22 | Why should a person’s chosen isolation matter to anyone else?04:34 | Individuality vs. the Catholic conception of the individual09:11 | Distinguishing between solitude and isolation12:43 | Why in-person communities matter14:00 | The role of unchosen communities in an individual’s development16:09 | How to view the company of others17:34 | Can one adequately substitute animal companionship for community?22:06 | New media, smart devices, and screen time26:45 | Advice to encourage more in-person gatherings27:53 | Listener question29:32 | Join the Word on Fire Institute———Show Notes———- “Why Americans Suddenly Stopped Hanging Out” article in The Atlantic: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/02/america-decline-hanging-out/677451- Screen time stats: harmonyhit.com/phone-screen-time-statistics/?clreqid=a5b99b78-5919-4ddd-a2d7-5cb3c4e66e6d&kbid=58587- Learn about the Word on Fire Institute: institute.wordonfire.org———WATCH———Subscribe to this Channel: bit.ly/3nL6bMUWord on Fire Institute Channel: bit.ly/43jgngaWord on Fire en Español Channel: bit.ly/2uFowjl———WORD ON FIRE———Word on Fire: wordonfire.orgWord on Fire Institute: institute.wordonfire.orgFREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): dailycatholicgospel.com———SOCIAL MEDIA———Bishop Barron Instagram: bit.ly/2Sn2XgDBishop Barron Facebook: bit.ly/2Sltef5Bishop Barron Twitter: bit.ly/2Hkz6yQWord on Fire Instagram: bit.ly/39sGNyZWord on Fire Facebook: bit.ly/2HmpPpWWord on Fire Twitter: bit.ly/2UKO49hWord on Fire en Español Instagram: bit.ly/38mqofDWord on Fire en Español Facebook: bit.ly/2SlthaLWord on Fire en Español Twitter: bit.ly/38n3VPt———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE———Donate: wordonfire.org/donateWord on Fire Store: store.wordonfire.orgPray: bit.ly/2vqU7Ft
What Happens After We Die? - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-04-13 | Friends, this week, on the Third Sunday of Easter, we have a passage from that magnificent twenty-fourth chapter of Luke—one of the appearances of the risen Christ to the Apostles. When we’re talking about the Resurrection, we’re talking about the central point of Christian faith, the hinge upon which the whole of Christianity turns. So to understand what we’re dealing with here is exceptionally important. What I want to do is reflect on the different views about what happens to us when we die that were floating around the eastern Mediterranean in the first century—and how none of them is on offer here.Mass Readings: Reading 1 - Acts 3:13-15, 17-19Psalm - 4:2, 4, 7-8, 9Reading 2 - 1 Jn 2:1-5aGospel - Lk 24:35-48———VIDEO LINKS———Give Your Gifts Away - Bishop Barron's Homily at the Good News Conference - youtu.be/2Xvx0nG9CgUDignitas Infinita - youtu.be/PRf0QIsAD5kDeclare the Resurrection - youtu.be/fXhuanjYTkQ———WATCH———Subscribe to this Channel: bit.ly/31LV1snWord on Fire Institute Channel: youtube.com/@word-on-fireWord on Fire en Español Channel: youtube.com/@WOF-es———WORD ON FIRE———Word on Fire: wordonfire.orgWord on Fire Español: wordonfire.org/esFREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): dailycatholicgospel.com———WORD ON FIRE INSTITUTE———Join Bishop Barron and over 20,000 evangelists inside the Word on Fire Institute at https://wordonfire.institute———SOCIAL MEDIA———Bishop Barron Instagram: bit.ly/2Sn2XgDBishop Barron Facebook: bit.ly/2Sltef5Bishop Barron Twitter: bit.ly/2Hkz6yQWord on Fire Instagram: bit.ly/39sGNyZWord on Fire Facebook: bit.ly/2HmpPpWWord on Fire Twitter: bit.ly/2UKO49hWord on Fire en Español Instagram: bit.ly/38mqofDWord on Fire en Español Facebook: bit.ly/2SlthaLWord on Fire en Español Twitter: bit.ly/38n3VPt———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE———Help Bishop Barron continue to produce videos like this: bit.ly/3QSvGpoWord on Fire Store: bookstore.wordonfire.org

Do You Struggle to Believe? - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-04-06 | Friends, on the Second Sunday of Easter, we have the inexhaustible reading from the twentieth chapter of John—one of the accounts of the Resurrection appearances of Jesus. These are in many ways the core texts of our Christian faith, so it behooves us to spend some careful time looking at them. This week, I want to reflect on the shalom (peace) that the risen Christ offers his disciples—and the struggle of one disciple, who was not present, to believe.Mass Readings: Reading 1 - Acts 4:32-35Psalm - Ps 118:2-4, 13-15, 22-24Reading 2 - 1 Jn 5:1-6Gospel - Jn 20:19-31———VIDEO LINKS———Be A True Witness - Bishop Barron Keynote Good News Conference: youtu.be/niiYuFqyA8QEP19 | Dietrich von Hildebrand’s Battle with Hitler — John Henry Crosby: youtu.be/PHvhvaUKVt4 ———WATCH———Subscribe to this Channel: bit.ly/31LV1snWord on Fire Institute Channel: youtube.com/@word-on-fireWord on Fire en Español Channel: youtube.com/@WOF-es———WORD ON FIRE———Word on Fire: wordonfire.orgWord on Fire Español: wordonfire.org/esFREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): dailycatholicgospel.com———WORD ON FIRE INSTITUTE———Join Bishop Barron and over 20,000 evangelists inside the Word on Fire Institute at https://wordonfire.institute———SOCIAL MEDIA———Bishop Barron Instagram: bit.ly/2Sn2XgDBishop Barron Facebook: bit.ly/2Sltef5Bishop Barron Twitter: bit.ly/2Hkz6yQWord on Fire Instagram: bit.ly/39sGNyZWord on Fire Facebook: bit.ly/2HmpPpWWord on Fire Twitter: bit.ly/2UKO49hWord on Fire en Español Instagram: bit.ly/38mqofDWord on Fire en Español Facebook: bit.ly/2SlthaLWord on Fire en Español Twitter: bit.ly/38n3VPt———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE———Help Bishop Barron continue to produce videos like this: bit.ly/3QSvGpoWord on Fire Store: bookstore.wordonfire.org
Euthanasia and the Culture of Death Bishop Robert Barron 2024-04-01 | Friends, Pope St. John Paul II used the term “culture of death'' in his 1995 encyclical Evangelium Vitae to capture the secular world’s dark confluence of poisonous ideas and practices that lead—directly and indirectly—to spiritual and physical ruin. Sadly, we’ve seen the the culture of death advance on many fronts. Today, we focus on the increasing legalization of assisted suicide in the United States and abroad. Listen as we discuss the issue and how Catholics can and should respond to it.

Declare the Resurrection Bishop Robert Barron 2024-03-31 | Friends, here is my homily from Easter Vigil.
Evidence of the Resurrection - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-03-30 | Friends, a very happy and blessed Easter! We come to the climax of the Church’s year, the feast of feasts, the very reason for being of Christianity. Everything in Christian life centers around the Resurrection. And the Church gives us, every year, the account of Easter morning from the Gospel of John. I want to bring out just one feature that John especially draws attention to—namely, the burial cloths left behind in the tomb. These strange and wonderful cloths that opened the door to faith long ago could perhaps do the same thing today.Mass Readings: Reading 1 - Acts 10:34a, 37-43Psalm - Ps 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23.Reading 2 - Col 3:1-4Gospel - Jn 20:1-9 ———VIDEO LINKS———Be A True Witness - Bishop Barron Keynote Good News Conference: youtu.be/niiYuFqyA8QEP19 | Dietrich von Hildebrand’s Battle with Hitler — John Henry Crosby: youtu.be/PHvhvaUKVt4 ———WATCH———Subscribe to this Channel: bit.ly/31LV1snWord on Fire Institute Channel: youtube.com/@word-on-fireWord on Fire en Español Channel: youtube.com/@WOF-es———WORD ON FIRE———Word on Fire: wordonfire.orgWord on Fire Español: wordonfire.org/esFREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): dailycatholicgospel.com———WORD ON FIRE INSTITUTE———Join Bishop Barron and over 20,000 evangelists inside the Word on Fire Institute at https://wordonfire.institute———SOCIAL MEDIA———Bishop Barron Instagram: bit.ly/2Sn2XgDBishop Barron Facebook: bit.ly/2Sltef5Bishop Barron Twitter: bit.ly/2Hkz6yQWord on Fire Instagram: bit.ly/39sGNyZWord on Fire Facebook: bit.ly/2HmpPpWWord on Fire Twitter: bit.ly/2UKO49hWord on Fire en Español Instagram: bit.ly/38mqofDWord on Fire en Español Facebook: bit.ly/2SlthaLWord on Fire en Español Twitter: bit.ly/38n3VPt———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE———Help Bishop Barron continue to produce videos like this: bit.ly/3QSvGpoWord on Fire Store: bookstore.wordonfire.org

Put Yourself in the Passion Narrative - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-03-23 | Friends, we have the great privilege on Palm Sunday of reading from one of the Passion narratives, and this year, we read from the Gospel of Mark—the very first one written. But what I want to do today is something a little bit different: instead of putting the focus on Jesus, I want to focus on a series of people around him as they react in different ways to the events of the Passion, putting ourselves in the scene.

Is There a Catholic Antidote to the Crisis in Higher Education? Bishop Robert Barron 2024-03-18 | Friends, according to Fortune magazine, overall undergraduate enrollment experienced the steepest rate of decline on record from 2019 to 2022, and it has only worsened since then. There are several explanations, but one cause is entirely self-imposed: most universities and colleges have now replaced education with ideology, subverting the search for truth with political indoctrination. Today, we discuss the ideological takeover of higher education and how the Catholic conception of the university can help provide an antidote.

Drinking the Blood of Christ - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-03-16 | Friends, on this Fifth Sunday of Lent, we hear one of the most pivotal passages in the Old Testament: Jeremiah 31:31. Jeremiah knew the long Israelite history of covenant and blood sacrifice, but he prophesies, “The days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.” This passage will find its fulfillment about six centuries later at a Passover supper, where a young rabbi—the covenant in person—offers his own lifeblood for his people to drink.Mass Readings: Reading 1 - Jer 31:31-34Psalm - 51:3-4, 12-13, 14-15 Reading 2 - Heb 5:7-9Gospel - Jn 12:20-33———VIDEO LINKS———Lord Of Our Life - Fabiola Garza: youtu.be/AndmvkkXiRAEp.18 | Seneca & The Madness of Hercules: youtu.be/D1rmNko2jfEBishop Barron Presents | Congressman Ro Khanna - Politics and Religion: youtu.be/S0D2Gpxo4E4———WATCH———Subscribe to this Channel: bit.ly/31LV1snWord on Fire Institute Channel: youtube.com/@word-on-fireWord on Fire en Español Channel: youtube.com/@WOF-es———WORD ON FIRE———Word on Fire: wordonfire.orgWord on Fire Español: wordonfire.org/esFREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): dailycatholicgospel.com———WORD ON FIRE INSTITUTE———Join Bishop Barron and over 20,000 evangelists inside the Word on Fire Institute at https://wordonfire.institute———SOCIAL MEDIA———Bishop Barron Instagram: bit.ly/2Sn2XgDBishop Barron Facebook: bit.ly/2Sltef5Bishop Barron Twitter: bit.ly/2Hkz6yQWord on Fire Instagram: bit.ly/39sGNyZWord on Fire Facebook: bit.ly/2HmpPpWWord on Fire Twitter: bit.ly/2UKO49hWord on Fire en Español Instagram: bit.ly/38mqofDWord on Fire en Español Facebook: bit.ly/2SlthaLWord on Fire en Español Twitter: bit.ly/38n3VPt———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE———Help Bishop Barron continue to produce videos like this: bit.ly/3QSvGpoWord on Fire Store: bookstore.wordonfire.org

Face Your Fears - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-03-09 | Friends, the Gospel on this Fourth Sunday of Lent includes one of the most famous verses in the Bible: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life” (John 3:16). In many ways, this verse is the Gospel in miniature. But we can isolate this line too much and miss the real import of it when we don’t attend to what happens right before—namely, Jesus’ reference to the serpent in the desert.Mass Readings: Reading 1 - 2 Chr 36:14-16, 19-23Psalm - 137:1-2, 3, 4-5, 6Reading 2 - Eph 2:4-10Gospel - Jn 3:14-21———VIDEO LINKS———Lord Of Our Life - Fabiola Garza: youtu.be/AndmvkkXiRAEp.18 | Seneca & The Madness of Hercules: youtu.be/D1rmNko2jfEBishop Barron Presents | Congressman Ro Khanna - Politics and Religion: youtu.be/S0D2Gpxo4E4———WATCH———Subscribe to this Channel: bit.ly/31LV1snWord on Fire Institute Channel: youtube.com/@word-on-fireWord on Fire en Español Channel: youtube.com/@WOF-es———WORD ON FIRE———Word on Fire: wordonfire.orgWord on Fire Español: wordonfire.org/esFREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): dailycatholicgospel.com———WORD ON FIRE INSTITUTE———Join Bishop Barron and over 20,000 evangelists inside the Word on Fire Institute at https://wordonfire.institute———SOCIAL MEDIA———Bishop Barron Instagram: bit.ly/2Sn2XgDBishop Barron Facebook: bit.ly/2Sltef5Bishop Barron Twitter: bit.ly/2Hkz6yQWord on Fire Instagram: bit.ly/39sGNyZWord on Fire Facebook: bit.ly/2HmpPpWWord on Fire Twitter: bit.ly/2UKO49hWord on Fire en Español Instagram: bit.ly/38mqofDWord on Fire en Español Facebook: bit.ly/2SlthaLWord on Fire en Español Twitter: bit.ly/38n3VPt———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE———Help Bishop Barron continue to produce videos like this: bit.ly/3QSvGpoWord on Fire Store: bookstore.wordonfire.org

When Your Faith Is Put to the Test - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-02-24 | Friends, we come now to the Second Sunday of Lent, and we’re on both dangerous and very holy ground with the first reading from the twenty-second chapter of Genesis. The ancient Israelites referred to it as the “Akedah,” which means the “binding”: Abraham binds and is ready to sacrifice Isaac at God’s command. It’s hard to imagine another text in the Old Testament that has stirred up more puzzlement and opposition. I am with Søren Kierkegaard: if you don’t experience “fear and trembling” having read this text, you have not been paying attention. And it’s naming something of absolute centrality in the spiritual life.Mass Readings: Reading 1 - Gn 22:1-2, 9a, 10-13, 15-18Psalm - Ps 116:10, 15, 16-17, 18-19 Reading 2 - Rom 8:31b-34Gospel - Mk 9:2-10———VIDEO LINKS———How to Become a Person of Love: youtu.be/ylP5AKCd_QgWord on Fire in Iraq: Live Interview with the Archbishop of Erbil: youtu.be/ftFc2F9xzNAOur New Spiritual Home!: youtu.be/S8vRXInEBC4 ———WATCH———Subscribe to this Channel: bit.ly/31LV1snWord on Fire Institute Channel: youtube.com/@word-on-fireWord on Fire en Español Channel: youtube.com/@WOF-es———WORD ON FIRE———Word on Fire: wordonfire.orgWord on Fire Español: wordonfire.org/esFREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): dailycatholicgospel.com———WORD ON FIRE INSTITUTE———Join Bishop Barron and over 20,000 evangelists inside the Word on Fire Institute at https://wordonfire.institute———SOCIAL MEDIA———Bishop Barron Instagram: bit.ly/2Sn2XgDBishop Barron Facebook: bit.ly/2Sltef5Bishop Barron Twitter: bit.ly/2Hkz6yQWord on Fire Instagram: bit.ly/39sGNyZWord on Fire Facebook: bit.ly/2HmpPpWWord on Fire Twitter: bit.ly/2UKO49hWord on Fire en Español Instagram: bit.ly/38mqofDWord on Fire en Español Facebook: bit.ly/2SlthaLWord on Fire en Español Twitter: bit.ly/38n3VPt———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE———Help Bishop Barron continue to produce videos like this: bit.ly/3QSvGpoWord on Fire Store: bookstore.wordonfire.org

Science Doesnt Turn Us From God, It Orders Us To God Bishop Robert Barron 2024-02-21 | Friends, one of the most important evangelical tasks today is responding to the belief held by so many that faith and science are incompatible. This perception runs counter to the experience of the Catholic tradition, which conveys the beautiful harmony between faith and science.

Understanding the Mental Health Crisis Bishop Robert Barron 2024-02-19 | Friends, we are in the midst of a mental health crisis, with many calling it another pandemic. Record-high numbers of Americans are facing depression and suicide. Nearly half of young people report feelings of persistent sadness or hopelessness. What’s behind this crisis, and how can the Church help? That’s what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show.”A listener asks, is “just war theory” a concession to human weakness? How do we square that with Jesus’ teachings on non-violence?00:00 | Intro01:09 | USCCB recap on surrogacy03:49 | Why the mental health crisis matters to bishops06:00 | Social media's role in damaged mental health09:39 | Community's role in healing mental health13:03 | The connection between psychological and spiritual suffering16:09 | Religious disaffiliation and mental illness17:47 | Who is St. Dymphna?18:40 | A word for those wrestling with poor mental health20:55 | Listener question24:17 | New book—“Christ Brings All Newness”———SHOW NOTES———Bishop on surrogacy: bit.ly/48a3uWS“Christ Brings All Newness”: wordonfire.org/newness———WATCH———Subscribe to this Channel: bit.ly/3nL6bMUWord on Fire Institute Channel: bit.ly/43jgngaWord on Fire en Español Channel: bit.ly/2uFowjl———WORD ON FIRE———Word on Fire: wordonfire.orgWord on Fire Institute: https://wordonfire.institute/FREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): dailycatholicgospel.com———SOCIAL MEDIA———Bishop Barron Instagram: bit.ly/2Sn2XgDBishop Barron Facebook: bit.ly/2Sltef5Bishop Barron Twitter: bit.ly/2Hkz6yQWord on Fire Instagram: bit.ly/39sGNyZWord on Fire Facebook: bit.ly/2HmpPpWWord on Fire Twitter: bit.ly/2UKO49hWord on Fire en Español Instagram: bit.ly/38mqofDWord on Fire en Español Facebook: bit.ly/2SlthaLWord on Fire en Español Twitter: bit.ly/38n3VPt———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE———Donate: wordonfire.org/donateWord on Fire Store: store.wordonfire.orgPray: bit.ly/2vqU7Ft
Are Your Soul and Body at War? - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-02-17 | Friends, we come now to the holy season of Lent. The Gospel for this First Sunday of Lent is Mark’s laconic version of the temptation of Jesus in the desert. Mark does not give us the details we find in Matthew and Luke, but we do hear this mysterious observation: “He was among wild beasts, and the angels ministered to him.” We are given here a kind of icon of the union of the spiritual and the material, the soul and the body, in the human being—both the glory and the agony of human life. And a really good way to pray through Lent is reflecting on our own struggles in light of that icon.Mass Readings: Reading 1 - Gn 9:8-15Psalm - Ps 25:4-5, 6-7, 8-9.Reading 2 - 1 Pt 3:18-22Gospel - Mk 1:12-15———VIDEO LINKS———How to Become a Person of Love: youtu.be/ylP5AKCd_QgWord on Fire in Iraq: Live Interview with the Archbishop of Erbil: youtu.be/ftFc2F9xzNAOur New Spiritual Home!: youtu.be/S8vRXInEBC4 ———WATCH———Subscribe to this Channel: bit.ly/31LV1snWord on Fire Institute Channel: youtube.com/@word-on-fireWord on Fire en Español Channel: youtube.com/@WOF-es———WORD ON FIRE———Word on Fire: wordonfire.orgWord on Fire Español: wordonfire.org/esFREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): dailycatholicgospel.com———WORD ON FIRE INSTITUTE———Join Bishop Barron and over 20,000 evangelists inside the Word on Fire Institute at https://wordonfire.institute———SOCIAL MEDIA———Bishop Barron Instagram: bit.ly/2Sn2XgDBishop Barron Facebook: bit.ly/2Sltef5Bishop Barron Twitter: bit.ly/2Hkz6yQWord on Fire Instagram: bit.ly/39sGNyZWord on Fire Facebook: bit.ly/2HmpPpWWord on Fire Twitter: bit.ly/2UKO49hWord on Fire en Español Instagram: bit.ly/38mqofDWord on Fire en Español Facebook: bit.ly/2SlthaLWord on Fire en Español Twitter: bit.ly/38n3VPt———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE———Help Bishop Barron continue to produce videos like this: bit.ly/3QSvGpoWord on Fire Store: bookstore.wordonfire.org
