What Do You Ask God For? - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-10-12 | Friends, for this Twenty-eighth Sunday of Ordinary Time, our first reading from the marvelous book of Wisdom presents an old biblical trope: If you were to ask God for something, or if God were to come to you and say he will give you whatever you want—what would you ask for? This is a really clarifying question. And while many things might come to mind, the answer of the paradigmatic wisdom figure is instructive.Mass ReadingsReading 1 — Wis 7:7-11Psalm — Ps 90:12-13, 14-15, 16-17Reading 2 — Heb 4:12-13Gospel — Mk 10:17-30 or 10:17-27———VIDEO LINKS———Embracing the Challenge — Mark Bradford: youtu.be/C6p2uHsBgBIEp. 32 | St. Thomas & the Forbidden Birds — James Matthew Wilson: youtu.be/f3ewuLKXDa0St. John Henry Newman: Lover of Truth: youtu.be/xSJviI29C2w———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
The Biblical Vision of the Family - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-10-05 | Friends, the first reading from Genesis and the Gospel from Mark this week are of great importance. They have to do with what we call Christian anthropology—the biblical understanding of who we are—and most specifically, in relation to marriage and family. This question of how we define ourselves is of course on the minds of many people today, and the readings, in a beautifully compact way, bring out the Christian answer.Mass ReadingsReading 1 — Gn 2:18-24Psalm — Ps 128:1-2, 3, 4-5, 6Reading 2 — Heb 2:9-11Gospel — Mk 10:2-16 or 10:2-12———VIDEO LINKS———Nature & the Human Body—Recapping Wonder 2024: youtu.be/tc5O0kv4AnIEp. 25 | The Political Thought of David Hume: youtu.be/TXvToOS0enEEncountering Christ Can be Radical: youtu.be/zDm2WA-Elmw———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
How to Resist Anti-Christian Bigotry Bishop Robert Barron 2024-09-30 | Friends, how should we respond when the culture becomes inhospitable if not actively hostile to Christian values? Sadly, biblical and natural law points of view are unwelcome now in many of the institutions that constitute the core of our society, including corporations, public schools, higher education, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, the legacy media, and even government entities themselves. What can Christians do to resist persecution by these secular powerhouses? How can we understand what it means to resist those who undermine Christians in light of Christ’s command to love our enemies?A listener asks how she can share the faith with her non-religious family members.00:00 | Intro01:48 | Matt Walsh’s recent “Am I Racist?” film02:50 | Distinguishing bigotry from disagreement03:56 | Distinguishing inhospitality from hostility06:12 | Anti-Christian sentiment in history08:43 | Taking opposition at its word12:47 | How the Olympics opening ceremony provoked response14:58 | Provocative acts of nonviolence18:08 | Unpacking “turn the other cheek”22:24 | Recent revival of religious interest23:38 | Resistance as an act of love25:07 | What’s to be done with anger?26:22 | Pacifism and forceful resistance28:51 | How the martyrs inform the Church30:09 | Resistance to culture as a form of evangelization31:11 | Listener question32:49 | Join the Word on Fire Institute———SHOW NOTES———Bishop Barron’s article in Newsweek: newsweek.com/olympics-anti-christian-display-reflects-cultural-decline-opinion-1933565Word 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
Whoever Is Not Against Us Is For Us - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-09-28 | Friends, the first reading and Gospel this Sunday have to do with the Church at war with itself.

The Ladder Doesn’t Matter - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-09-21 | Friends, why was the story of Jesus with the little children, versions of which appear in the three synoptic Gospels, so vividly remembered by the first Christians? I think they intuited that it got very close to the heart of Jesus’ teaching. The way Mark sets up his account of this story in our Gospel for this weekend is frankly funny, and it’s an example of the disciples completely missing the point of everything.

Should We Worry About Declining Birth Rates? Bishop Robert Barron 2024-09-16 | Friends, in 1968, a book called The Population Bomb written by entomologist Paul Ehrlich helped spark panic in the West that the global population was reaching a breaking point, saying too many human beings would soon cause widespread famine and social chaos.This view that a growing human population is an existential threat to humanity remains widespread to this day. For example, University of Chicago political philosopher Martha Nussbaum recently stated that given the world’s current population, “no one should be having any children.” Contemporary empirical evidence, however, points in exactly the opposite direction. Deaths are already outpacing births in many regions of the world, resulting in precipitous declines in national populations. Is this good news for humanity? Are public policies aimed at population control justified? Is there such a thing as an ideal population size? Should anyone care about whether others choose to have children or not?A listener asks whether we should continue going to confession if we keep committing the same sin over and over again.00:00 | Intro01:49 | Seminarians kick off school year03:00 | Assessing population decreases across the globe05:36 | Increased attitudes against having children08:24 | Unpacking “culture of death,” ego-drama, and theo-drama11:33 | Childbearing as a societal good12:35 | Population capping through public policy14:07 | Human population and the environment17:03 | Utilitarianism as a faulty moral theory for addressing population concerns18:51 | Foregoing childbirth to spare potential children pain21:20 | Foregoing childbirth to favor economic security22:33 | Foregoing childbirth for lack of desire24:55 | Old age without children28:00 | The centrality of fruitfulness29:14 | Pope St. Paul VI’s prophetic ban on artificial contraception30:57 | How does the Church look forward?34:05 | Listener question: Does repeating sins disqualify me from Confession?36:35 | Join the Word on Fire Institute———SHOW NOTES——— Data for “Population Bomb”: smithsonianmag.com/innovation/book-incited-worldwide-fear-overpopulation-180967499Article on Martha Nussbaum: opindia.com/2024/05/india-has-too-many-people-they-dont-have-enough-to-eat-philosopher-martha-nussbaum-makes-drastic-claims-population-reductionQuote citation: washingtontimes.com/news/2024/apr/16/bill-maher-inflames-abortion-debate-by-saying-its-Abortion statistic: guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/induced-abortion-worldwidePew Research citation: pewresearch.org/social-trends/2024/07/25/the-experiences-of-u-s-adults-who-dont-have-childrenWord 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
Faith Without Works Is Dead - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-09-14 | Friends, “fools rush in where angels fear to tread”—and this week, I am going to go once more into the issue of faith and works, which has been dividing Western Christianity since the Reformation.

An Introduction To Prayer Bishop Robert Barron 2024-09-03 | Friends, Pope Francis has designated 2025 as a Year of Jubilee, and in preparation for that celebration, he has, in turn, designated 2024 as a Year of Prayer. It is in response to the pope’s call for renewed catechesis on prayer that Word on Fire presents “An Introduction to Prayer,” a small collection of texts from my writings and talks on the subject: http://wof.org/how-to-pray.This book explores the answers to questions like:- Why should I pray?- What should I say or do when I’m praying?- Who exactly am I praying to?- Are there different types of prayer?- What do the spiritual masters say about prayer?- How can I establish a solid routine of prayer?My hope for this little book is very simple: that it might lead you on the road to prayer; that it might teach you something about prayer; and that, most importantly, it might prompt you actually to pray.Learn more at http://wof.org/how-to-pray.
Nature & the Human Body—Recapping Wonder 2024 Bishop Robert Barron 2024-09-02 | Friends, the nature and purpose of the human body was once considered obvious. But it has come under attack from secular culture in some strange and even disturbing ways in recent years. Now, unfortunately, it is up for grabs. The Word on Fire Institute sought to address this confusion surrounding the body at our recent Wonder Conference, “Nature and the Human Body.” Drawing on rich theological, philosophical, scientific, medical, moral, political, technological, and artistic resources, the conference sought to reclaim an authentic understanding and deep appreciation for the body—its resilience and fragility, its joys and its sufferings, its transcendence and its temporality, and, above all, its wonder.A listener asks how Catholics should think about near-death experiences and stories.00:00 | Intro01:23 | Hosting the Wonder Conference in Bishop Barron’s own diocese02:25 | Why we needed Wonder03:50 | Understanding the false dichotomy of faith and science06:20 | Addressing the question of body/soul unity12:38 | Inherent dangers in dividing body and soul15:36 | Can Catholic ministries give platforms to evolutionary biologists?17:11 | Highlights from Dr. Heather Heying’s Wonder talk18:45 | Beginning with the logos and intelligibility20:04 | The human difference21:04 | Bishop Barron Presents: liturgical artist Jonathan Pageau23:06 | Materialism as an incoherent philosophy vs. scientific worldview26:30 | The intelligibility of creation27:36 | Fr.

The Goodness—and Dangers—of the Law - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-08-31 | Friends, as Americans, we have a very ambiguous relationship to law. On the one hand, we are a nation of independently minded people; we don’t like the law imposing itself on us. At the same time—let’s face it—we are a hyper-litigious society. We see the same ambiguity about law—both its beauty and its shadow side—in our three readings today.Mass ReadingsReading 1 — Dt 4:1-2, 6-8Psalm — Ps 15:2-3, 3-4, 4-5Reading 2 — Jas 1:17-18, 21b-22, 27Gospel — Mk 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23———VIDEO LINKS———Conversion and Life in the Eucharist: youtu.be/_BGvNtRPIZgBishop Barron Presents | Jonathan Pageau - Recognizing Patterns: youtu.be/hyMDIvF-I60A Life of Heroic Sanctity: Augustine of Hippo: youtu.be/4mU4dwUVNOs———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 Accept This Teaching? - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-08-24 | Friends, we come now to the close of this great discourse of Jesus in the sixth chapter of John, where we see the aftereffects of his teaching on the Real Presence. The Eucharist is a standing or falling point of Christianity, and the question Jesus poses to the Twelve is posed to every one of us today: Do you also want to leave over this teaching? Do you reject it, or do you accept it?

Is Christianity Making a Comeback? Bishop Robert Barron 2024-08-19 | Friends, some recent polling suggests that the number of those who identify with no religion has hit a ceiling, and it may even be declining. At the same time, a number of high-profile cultural influencers—even some formerly hostile to the faith—have either converted to Christianity or announced that they now identify as “cultural Christians.” Moreover, religion and politics, once considered verboten to mix, now seem to find themselves deeply intertwined.How do we assess these cultural and political developments from an evangelical perspective? Is it really the case that society is becoming more receptive to Christianity? Are all these developments positive for the Church, or should we take a more cautious approach to evaluating what all this means for the future? A listener asks what he can share with non-Catholics to perhaps change their minds.00:00 | Intro01:32 | Bishop Barron’s update on the diocesan pastoral center02:24 | Tracing the decline of Christianity in the West06:07 | Assessing the decline of “nones” today09:59 | Men, women, and trends of religious disaffiliation13:45 | Public conversions and the indispensability of Christianity in culture18:46 | Christianity, moral principles, and the legal system23:09 | Is there broader cultural significance for the National Eucharistic Revival?24:26 | Hopeful signs for Christianity in conversation27:54 | Is interest in a broad Christianity simply good?28:59 | What we can learn from the African and Eastern Churches30:42 | Listener question33:00 | Join the Word on Fire Institute———SHOW NOTES———- Pew Research Data: pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/01/24/has-the-rise-of-religious-nones-come-to-an-end-in-the-us- Data on Women Leaving the Church: americansurveycenter.org/newsletter/young-women-are-leaving-church-in-unprecedented-numbers- Washington Examiner: washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/2929622/faith-and-flag-trump-allies-push-deeply-conservative-second-term/#google_vignette- 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
Really, Truly, and Substantially Present - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-08-17 | Friends, we continue reading from the sixth chapter of John, this pivotal section of the New Testament where John lays out his Eucharistic theology. And we come today to the rhetorical high point of this discourse, where things really come to a head. It is the ground of the doctrine of the Real Presence: Jesus is not simply symbolically present in the Eucharist; he’s really, truly, and substantially present under the signs of bread and wine.Mass ReadingsReading 1 — Prv 9:1-6Psalm — Ps 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7Reading 2 — Eph 5:15-20Gospel —Jn 6:51-58———VIDEO LINKS———Christ: Fully Present: youtu.be/CrO5ICxjCn4The Crossroads of Religion & Politics—Part 2: youtu.be/67V3mxZzrRsEp. 28 | The New Ressourcement — Jason Paone: youtu.be/MN4j2zu54Q8———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
Strength for the Journey - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Bishop Robert Barron 2024-08-10 | Friends, we’re continuing our reading of the sixth chapter of the Gospel of John, which is all about the Eucharist. And here’s my take on our reading for today: A long trip by car or plane can be uncomfortable, even overwhelming. But we’re heading somewhere else; we’re on a journey. And on a long journey, you have to find sustenance to keep going.

Are Reverent Liturgies & Social Justice at Odds? Bishop Robert Barron 2024-08-05 | Does being committed to social justice necessarily entail neglecting the liturgy? Conversely, do reverent liturgies entail downplaying or even ignoring the Church’s mission to care for the poor? The answer to both questions is a resounding, no. How should we understand the right relationship between the liturgy of the Church and the virtue of justice, including social justice? And practically speaking, how can we, as a Church, overcome the unnecessary divisions between so-called “liberal Catholics” and “conservative Catholics”? A listener asks if someone can be Catholic but not believe in the Resurrection.00:00 | Intro01:20 | 10th National Eucharistic Congress recap02:32 | Understanding the role and meaning of the liturgy05:06 | The power of the spoken word in the liturgy07:16 | The physicality of the liturgy09:10 | Distinguishing between authentic and inauthentic liturgies11:13 | Did Vatican II negatively effect the liturgy?12:45 | Understanding justice as a cardinal virtue14:45 | Relating justice and charity18:24 | Social justice within a Catholic framework20:34 | The relationship between loving God and loving neighbor26:00 | Connecting the liturgy and social justice27:33 | Is social justice possible without the liturgy?28:51 | How cloistered monks and nuns serve the Church30:01 | Bridging the divide between separated Catholics31:40 | Listener question33:50 | Join the Word on Fire Institute———SHOW NOTES———Bishop Barron’s article: wordonfire.org/articles/barron/the-higher-you-go-liturgically-the-lower-you-should-go-in-service-of-the-poorWord 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
