Dear Father Barron : I am 65 years old and have always been perplexed and taken back by the contrivance of the catholic articles of faith and narrative. That said, the catholic morality has always felt profoundly right. I have come in contact with your videos two months ago, and some have helped me greatly. So I have recommended them to friends who might be open to the values you profess. After listening to your comments on Veni Sancte Spiritus, I have asked God to show me a course of action concerning certain problems. And God may well have answered. Your exposés have helped me realize my deepest aspirations correspond to values associated with God. And whether God exists or not, I find my freedom in serving those perceived goods. Thank you.
+Charles Lambdin : Thank you for writing me. I find warming that you would care enough to let me know your point of view and give me information you find helpful. The word “struggle” is certainly accurate. I am desperately seeking meaningful and enlightening approaches and shall view the video you recommend. Like you, I have specially enjoyed the “Flying Spaghetti Monster” exposé. The Catholic Church has an inexhaustible treasure of human experience, analytical rigour, and love of God, Goodness, Truth and Beauty; and I think it has much to offer in this society where it is common for individuals to feel they have the competence, the right and the duty to judge values on the basis of their self-serving quality. God help us all.
Thank you for your wise words and kind wishes. I have started going back to mass two and a half months ago. Yesterday a St. Augustine phrase was pronounced which stuck in the mind: “You have made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless, until they can find rest in you.” Let us Hope!
Father Barrow, I have a testimony of his words. On December 24, 2014, providentially I found on UA-cam a music that I really liked and it was Veni Sancte Spiritus. I was desolate and I was much of that night and of the 25 accompanying me with that music, I asked the Lord, what was the meaning of my life? The Lord gave me more than a response, an experience of life that had two years of peace and happiness in my soul, and much need to know, to learn about it. Now, without the euphoria of the experience that the Holy Spirit gave me, I strive to live according to what he has taught me, I confess frequently and correct my path as soon as I deviate. I am convinced that this life is a constant struggle against evil. Thank you for your messages Father, God bless you.
Respected Father Barron -🙏🏼 this is one of the most beautiful sermons i have ever heard in my 67 years - during this pilgrimage of life. I am a Indian woman who spent 10 years of my my early childhood in a protestant missionary school on the Himalayan foothills where i often took comfort reading the story of Jesus seeking & finding His Lost lamb & bearing him home joyfully in His arms feeling & loved as a lost lamb of Jesus & then in later years guided by a dream of Lord Vishnu i devoted my prayers to Him as myDivine Beloved which for me - now over the years has become an amalgamation of the two divine energies as the True Holy Spirit an omnipotent ever renewing Luminous Sacred Light in my Heart witness to the One Light - an eternal spark of Divinity leading me Home as i chant His Beloved Name blissfully on my Holy Pilgrimage of Life-thank you -once again 💕💕Love &Light - Jita (Pune India)
Bishop Barron, I just want to thank you for the work you do and for allowing the Holy Spirit to work through you in order for people like me, a sinner, to have a word of encouragement throughout the week. I ask you humbly to pray for me so that I may, like yourself, allow the holy spirit to guide my life and to always be sincere and never superficial. Thank you, Bishop Barron!
The one source of the Spirit is the mutual love of the Father and the Son. That's why we say that, together, they breathe out (or spirate) the Holy Spirit. Fulton Sheen referred to the Spirit as the sigh of love breathed out by the Father and the Son.
so so inspiring im so happy i found this!! just these past couple days i was suffering from a sudden unexplained depression...i honestly felt like crying all the time...so i kept praying and praying, while doing my daily routine and trying to put things in order...finally it just lifted as suddenly as it came..never give up your prayers even if they dont seem to work the first time. have faith and ask again. :) god bless
Fr. Barron, this is a completely marvelous meditation on the fruits of the Holy Spirit. And it's something that we don't hear very much about in Homilies and other spiritual sources. This made my morning! As it's snowing and 5 degrees here, a test of my Patience.
I'm feeling renewed. I have been practicing the Baptist faith and it has come to me I need to return back to be with my family, and our pastor has been discussing faith, and the Holy Spirit and I felt as though I missed something. So I talked to my sister Stacy and she is close in her Catholic faith. She recommended you. I feel blessed. Thank you for sharing your gifts. God bless
One of my favorite talks of Fr. Barron ! I would be interested to hear one of these snippets on Jesus comment regarding "Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven Ever. My "thought" says "We have been gifted with the Holy Spirit in our Sacramental rites, and to set aside God's ultimate gift of Love, the Person of His very nature in and with us, is not forgivable." I'd like to hear your wisdom on this "difficult passage of scripture" Father. And I thank you!
I'm from Lake Forest, Il. and started following Fr. Barron when he was pastor in our neighboring town of Libertyville. I would go to his church just to hear him speak. His homilies are the best I've ever heard. It's wonderful the he's featured on Catholic TV, especially in this time of distress. Witnessing daily mass on the internet, is difficult, but hearing, now Bishop Baron, every day is a blessing!
Thanks + Barron, an elderly friend mentioned how much she enjoyed your preaching from here down under in New Zealand (Aotearoa). An she's 100% right. You're refreshing. Thanks for the nutritious meal! May this fruit nourish those in our corners of the world. Blessings!
This message of the Holy Spirit and how you expressed it. It means so much to me as a new Catholic! I love the peace, joy and unconditional love of loving the Holy Spirit. “Occasion for love”… beautiful. 💙
BISHOP Barron's Pentecostal Mass 31/5/20......and homily was so inspiring, well worth listening to again and again. The Holy Spirit is the best gift of life!
I want to thank you for your sermon. God, the holy spirit has been back in my life for sometime. I walk by Faith and trust in God only. I'm now serving God for his purpose in my life. I never in my life experience so much peace, joy and guidance. I'm made brand-new and once was broken. God has given me a deliverance. I've been tested and by God's grace I'm saved. I'm grateful God taken time to give me a second chance. I'm now singing the gospel, writing songs and been studying the word of God as he lives in me. Overall, I just want to thank you. May God continue to be with you and your spirit.
Father, You description of the Holy Spirit made me suddenly realize how we can understand why each one of us has been brought in the world with a special purpose and how to transmit that love to others. May God Bless You.
Dear Bishop Barron, I found this video so very clarifying on how to perceive the presence of the Holy Spirit! And also what an immeasurable, and always available gift this Person is, if I only pause to speak to him, and ask for him. Thank you ! I am grateful for this new understanding just in time to celebrate Pentecost in a beautiful new light!
How do I know? God always manifests on me. He answers me in many ways more than one - thru a dream, a deep sense of his presence, by turning a leaf of a passage or a word of God, or a surprise appearance of a person or a thing, even thru the cosmos by looking up to the skies - the clouds in the day or the moon and stars in the night, etc. And you know, I'm going thru your lectures, homilies, retreats thru the youtubes, Q&A's every day hoping to go thru 250+/- of them during my self-quarantine which is about the best thing that resulted this time. Watching from Coquitlam, B.C., Canada. Thank you, Father.
Thank you Fr. Robert. What an excellent, concise explanation. May God continue to inspire, energize, enlighten, and empower you to share the truths of our Catholic faith.
I Love God the Holy Spirit!! Love listening and knowing more about God the Holy Spirit!! Thank You Jesus for sending the Holy Spirit and Thank you Bishop Barron for the massage on God the Holy Spirit!!
Holy Spirit I would love to see your priests, Bishop Barron and Larry Richards together speaking to us your Word on Fire and Surrendering to you Holy Spirit. Amen.
Fr. Barron is an excellent source for interpretation, but here we see a humble Teacher. "How can I tell if I am on the right path?" It's answered beyond doubt here, from Galations 5. Thanks very much, Father
So beautiful. I would just like to clarify one point which Fr mentions near the end of his talk. 'He says we must ask for the Holy Spirit, well I understand what he means, however we receive the Holy Spirit in a special way when we are Confirmed. The graces we receive often remain quite hidden as we pay too much attention to the world, however we can then ask to be renewed through the power of the Holy Spirit, that the Holy Spirit may fan into flames those graces which God has already given us from the moment of Baptism as well as Confirmation.
Thanks for such an Informative and educational Video. A big thank you goes to Rev. Bishop Baron for the excellent Teaching regarding The Presence of The Holy Spirit in us. I greatly recommend it.
This was a blessing to find this late evening for me. We need more positive commentary like this...Thanks... again, Father. Your homilies come from such great introspection....and grace. Bless you.
ivana puhan The Holy Trinity: who are they that compose it. --------------- 5 The Father stood before His children and explained unto them that He had chosen a leader from among them to watch over His work in this part of His kingdom. 6 And the Father called forth Jehovah from among the other spirits and presented him before them as the one that He had chosen. 7 And it came to pass that another valiant spirit was called forth and presented unto the spirits by the Father. 8 And the Father brought forth one of the spirits and presented him to the other spirits that resided there. And I beheld that this spirit was Michael, who would become the mortal father of all the children of men. 15 There before the throne of the Eternal Father, even Elohim, stood Jehovah, even Jesus the Christ, and Michael, the father of all the children of men, even the man Adam. And every knee bowed and every soul sang praises to this Holy Trinity. 16 There appeared a sea of many souls, even more numerous than the sands upon the sea shore, each singing praises of glory towards the throne of God, and all kneeling in honor of their Father and their God. 11 And it came to pass that Michael went down and passed through the days of his probation and died; yea, even so, he returned once again to the world of spirits from whence he came. 12 And Michael ruled at the right hand of Jehovah and reigned in his stead when the time came for Jehovah to pass through the days of his probation. 16 And for the small space of time in between the death of his mortal body and his resurrection, Jesus entered once again into the spirit world and bestowed upon Michael all the powers and authority that he had received from the Father, so that Michael could rule and reign in the spirit world. 17 And now, this is the mystery that hath not been revealed except unto those who have been faithful and received the knowledge of God by way of the spirit of God. For behold, Michael is the other member of the Godhead, yea even the Holy Ghost. 20 But Michael would not take upon himself a resurrected body, but was called and chosen to rule and reign in the spirit world as the Holy Ghost until the work of the Father, concerning His children that belong to this part of His kingdom, is finished. 52 And in this way, Michael, who is the Holy Ghost, is known as the archangel who is in constant battle for the souls of men with Lucifer, who is also known as the devil. ♥️
I father Robert. I'm going through an RCIA course at the moment and we discussed the holy spirit last week. Your video was very good in helping me understanding. I said to our group that the holy spirit is like a candle in the dark, but one you can't see, you can only feel the warmth but beckons you towards the right path..... I think you said the same thing. God bless you.
Come oh Holy Spirit really does change your disposition instantly. Another prayer for catholics regarding a spiritual communion. My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You.
Father Barron, you are truly a great man and a great priest. I'm troubling trying to find answers regarding the Catholic Faith, and I have been made fun of simply because I'm a Catholic. I try to ask questions, but I feel like I'm going nowhere. I really wish I could talk to some like you and try to reach the answers I'm seeking while I'm struggling in this spiritual abyss. God Bless You, keep up the good work :)
This is one of the best videos you have done Father. Thank you, I think anyone struggling to find God's plan for their life will appreciate this video just as I have.
This is so incredibly refreshing and pleasurable, your words carry an outstanding sense of revealing truth in every sentence. The lack of words like yours that made me try to find God in other Christian denominations and is your speech that makes me wonder if I should reconsider the Catholic way again. Thank you!
Thank you Bishop Barron, God is great! I was just speaking to God about the Holy Spirit and He provided me information about the Holy Spirit. Blessed Be God!
This tutoriall has so much relevancy to understanding Pope Francis' call to solidarity and the common good in Laudato Si.... thanks so much Bishop Barron!
Shalom; the submission of the will to God. It is the sole route to peace. It does not belong to man who is walking to direct, even, his steps. Thank you Bishop.
El Señor le colme de bendiciones, Monseñor! Gracias por introducir el Espíritu Santo en mi corazón. Ahora tengo más claro lo que significa amar, es sencillo: Veni Sancte Spiritu y El -cuando quiera- me hará vivir en Caridad.
No. Together they form one principle, for love cannot exist without a mutual exchange between lover and beloved. That's why the Holy Spirit has to proceed from the Father and the Son. (Patre Filioque).
Our father.... who is.... hallowed.... your kingdom.... on earth as.... forgive our trespasses ... deliver us from... the kingdom... the power and... forever and ever... !
Come on, friend: you're descending into irresponsible caricature here. Thomas Aquinas clearly holds that the Holy Spirit is a person endowed with intellect, will, freedom, creativity, etc. How could it be otherwise, since the Spirit shares the same divine essence as the Father and the Son?
I enjoy your perspective on things, and I agree with your view on the Holy Spirit in one sense But it is also directly tangible, something which can be viewed and experienced during prayer (or at other times as God wills), as mentioned in Corinthians when the disciples would visit various churches and give them direct experience with the Holy Spirit This comment probably won't reach you, but I would be interested in hearing an educated Catholic perspective on the Holy Spirit as a tangible force My own experiences with the Holy Spirit, have changed my life, and fortified my faith. These experiences reveal my selfishness, and other faults. Showing a state of being, much further than what a fallen man could achieve, but the glimpse gives me hope, and underlines the reality of morality, how sincere moral progress brings us closer to God
Mommy SeaStar The Holy Trinity: who are they that compose it. --------------- 5 The Father stood before His children and explained unto them that He had chosen a leader from among them to watch over His work in this part of His kingdom. 6 And the Father called forth Jehovah from among the other spirits and presented him before them as the one that He had chosen. 7 And it came to pass that another valiant spirit was called forth and presented unto the spirits by the Father. 8 And the Father brought forth one of the spirits and presented him to the other spirits that resided there.

@@erwinaquinde7211 Thank you for asking! *Please correct me Bishop Barron if I am mistaken in any of my answer* The Trinity refers to the Three Persons in the One God. That's why we can still say with our Jewish brothers and sisters that, "The Lord is God. The Lord Is One." The three divine Persons of the Holy Trinity are the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit, the person of the Trinity Who proceeds from the love of Father and Son. One of the best ways to try to understand this is the love of husband and wife which produces a third person, the child, though this is just an analogy because God is so far above us. We pray that the Holy Spirit may come to us so that we may have the very life of God within us.
Mommy SeaStar No, they are not of one body but one in purpose. 3 separate beings the Father, Elohim; the son jehovah (jesus christ); and michael (adam) who became the holy spirit. For you to understand these things more fully, we were born as spirit offspring of heavenly parentage that is why before jesus experience life in mortality, he was jehovah and so is adam, he was michael. You and i have names there. It is just that God put a veil in our mortal body that we can not recall our pre-existent life for us to be tried and tested by faith. And once we die and back again as a spirit, the memories that we had in our pre mortal life will right back restored to us. I leave you this adam’s counsel toward his children. And by the way, this source scripture is not the bible. You may not believe these it is okay. It is for you to compare the doctrine that are taught to us since when we enter mortal life.
Mommy SeaStar Part 1: Adam’s counsel to his children pertaining to our Eternal Parents: --------------- 20 And now my beloved children, do ye suppose that if we were created in the image of the Gods-both male and female-that this image is only that of a man? Ye know well that there are females among us, and are not their bodies also created in the image of God? And I say unto you that they are also created in the image of God, and that God is not our Father alone, but that we also have an Eternal Mother, who is also a God. 21 And these things I have caused to be taught unto you by faith, knowing that ye have never seen the Father and the Mother of whom I speak. For they are the father and the mother of your spirits, which spirits ye also cannot see with your mortal eyes. Nevertheless, our Eternal Father and Mother are not made of spirit matter of which our spirits are made, but they have bodies of flesh and bone like unto ours. And our mortal bodies were created in the image of their eternal bodies, which are perfect. And our mortal bodies, which are imperfect, were made in the image of their bodies, but not in an exact likeness like unto our spirits. 22 For behold, our spirits are an exact likeness of our eternal parents in a similar way as your mortal bodies are a likeness of your mortal parents. And ye have beheld the body that I possess, and also the body that your mother Eve possesseth. And we were not born of mortal parents, therefore our bodies were not created in the likeness of imperfection, but were created after the pattern of the bodies of our Father and Mother in heaven. And for this reason ye have beheld that we have maintained our strength and our vitality even unto a very old age. And your mother Eve is like unto her daughters in every way, even that she hath lived many years past the deaths of many of her daughters, even those who have defiled their bodies and made them impure by those things which were forbidden unto them. 26 And Eve brought this knowledge back to my attention many times, but I would not listen to her because of my pride; yea, even the pride that a man doth feel because of the strength that he hath been given over a woman. Yet this strength that I have been given over Eve was not the strength of the spirit, which strength she hath in a greater abundance than I. And for this reason, my beloved sons, I would that ye should look unto your wives and your mothers; yea, in many instances, even unto your daughters for this spiritual strength that will keep you humble during the days of your probation here in mortality. 35 And now my beloved children, I would that ye should know that before we came to this earth, even to this part of this great universe, which expanse of space we can see with our mortal eyes; yea, even before we came to this planet upon which we now live and pass through the days of this probation, we lived on another planet with our Eternal Parents, who is the God that I have taught you to believe in all the days of my life. 36 And we were created from the materials from our Eternal Mother, having received the instructions for the creation of our spirits from our Eternal Father. And this process took place in a similar fashion like unto the conception of a child here in mortality. Nevertheless, this conception was perfect and refined according to the laws of the planet on which our Eternal Parents live. 42 And our Mothers who brought us forth from Their own bodies began to teach us these eternal laws of happiness. Yea, even from the day of our spiritual birth we were continually taught and raised by our Mothers to know this happiness. And by teaching us about this happiness, our Eternal Mothers received their own happiness. 43 And this is the work and the glory of an eternal woman who hath the power and the ability, which Her exalted body provideth, even to bring forth spiritual offspring, which are Her eternal children, which She shall know forever. 44 But the Father hath other works that He doeth, even according to the eternal laws of happiness that govern Him. For while our Eternal Mother is caring for our spirit and bringing other spirits into being, that our spirit might not be alone; yea, even as She is engaged in the desires of Her own happiness, so is our Father engaged in the performance of His labors, which labors shall provide for us the means by which we shall be able to know the happiness that our Mothers desire for us. 45 Behold, our Eternal Mothers perform the labors that are necessary for our first estate, which estate is the state in which we find ourselves as spirits in the kingdom of our Eternal Parents. But our Eternal Father performeth the labors that are necessary for our second estate, which estate is the state of the days of our probation, or the days of our mortality. 46 And because our Mothers are busy with their labors in our first estate, They do not concern Themselves with the cares and labors of our second estate. And our Father doth not concern himself with the affairs of our first estate, in which estate the labors of our Mothers are performed. For what purpose would we need a mother if it was that our father could provide for all of our needs? And again, what purpose would we need a father, if our mother could provide us with all that we need? 47 For this reason the Gods are male and female; nevertheless, they are equal in all things, having the same glory and the same power.♥️♥️♥️
@@erwinaquinde7211 I am not sure where you are reading from, but this is not part of the Hebrew scriptures, Jewish tradition, nor Christian doctrine. It is not in the Biblical canon anywhere. I have read the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Old Testament. My original answer is directly from the Catholic and Orthodox Christian understanding of the Trinity.
Thank you Bishop Barron for helping me find Jesus through the Word on Fire Volume 1 (The Gospels) your weekly sermons and your Rosary. The centre of my life is Lord Jesus now. I've learnt to let go of all my attachments and I might live a life of poverty but to experience living with Jesus through the Holy Spirit everyday is worth it ❤ I still need to pray more to Jesus and thank him for everything his done in my life 😊❤ Once again Bishop Barron, thank you for sharing the word and putting hope back into the world 💪❤
Loved this video, Father. I am a catechist and it is always so difficult to explain the Holy Spirit: who is He and what does He do. Thanks for lighting this up. Come, Holy Spirit!
I never experienced joy until I came into relationship with the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Well, God bless you, Luc.
Fr. Robert Barron Thank you. I appreciate it. I wish you the best.
+Charles Lambdin :
Thank you for writing me. I find warming that you would care enough to let me know your point of view and give me information you find helpful. The word “struggle” is certainly accurate. I am desperately seeking meaningful and enlightening approaches and shall view the video you recommend. Like you, I have specially enjoyed the “Flying Spaghetti Monster” exposé. The Catholic Church has an inexhaustible treasure of human experience, analytical rigour, and love of God, Goodness, Truth and Beauty; and I think it has much to offer in this society where it is common for individuals to feel they have the competence, the right and the duty to judge values on the basis of their self-serving quality. God help us all.
+Charles Lambdin I love this dialogue; God bless you both.

I will pray for you Father.
Could you give me the link to the music. Thanks

A gentleman and a scholar? Maybe. A saint? Definitely not! Pray that I might become one.
Fr. Robert Barron Why? As no human beings can determine anything of a spiritual nature.
JeffersonDinedAlone Pride. Pure pride.
Beautiful I will pray Come Holy Spirit and encourage others. Amen.
'Come Holy Spirit' great wisdom and a wonderful prayer to God.
I pray the sequence of the Holy Spirit every morning,its an awesome prayer.
The one source of the Spirit is the mutual love of the Father and the Son. That's why we say that, together, they breathe out (or spirate) the Holy Spirit. Fulton Sheen referred to the Spirit as the sigh of love breathed out by the Father and the Son.
And what about the Filioque? what's your take on that? thanks
so so inspiring im so happy i found this!! just these past couple days i was suffering from a sudden unexplained depression...i honestly felt like crying all the time...so i kept praying and praying, while doing my daily routine and trying to put things in order...finally it just lifted as suddenly as it came..never give up your prayers even if they dont seem to work the first time. have faith and ask again. :) god bless

Thank you so much for your wisdom, Bishop Barron. Love and prayers from the UK.
As an Orthodox Christian, I would love to see Fr. Barron discuss/debate the issues which divided our churches with an Orthodox theologian.
joseph conder why debate let’s pray for unity, that would be an act of the Holy Spirit itself. :)
We have very similar theology. I sense unity is not too far away🙏
Those that hunger after righteousness shall be FILLED...enjoying your messages. Thank you
Your words are so prophetic to me and my personal life sometimes
I'm from Lake Forest, Il. and started following Fr. Barron when he was pastor in our neighboring town of Libertyville. I would go to his church just to hear him speak.
His homilies are the best I've ever heard. It's wonderful the he's featured on Catholic TV, especially in this time of distress. Witnessing daily mass on the internet, is difficult, but hearing, now Bishop Baron, every day is a blessing!

Amen! Come Holly Spirit 💜🙏🏽 Thank you for simple teachings!
This message of the Holy Spirit and how you expressed it. It means so much to me as a new Catholic! I love the peace, joy and unconditional love of loving the Holy Spirit. “Occasion for love”… beautiful. 💙
Thank you and GOD BLESS you Bishop Barron.
Bishop Barron has a habit of explaining these often complex theological topics, and bring them "down to earth" for us.
Unlike some things...

May God bless you always, Father. Remember- we're here always wanting to hear you share your wisdom.
BISHOP Barron's Pentecostal Mass 31/5/20......and homily was so inspiring, well worth listening to again and again. The Holy Spirit is the best gift of life!
I want to thank you for your sermon. God, the holy spirit has been back in my life for sometime. I walk by Faith and trust in God only. I'm now serving God for his purpose in my life. I never in my life experience so much peace, joy and guidance. I'm made brand-new and once was broken. God has given me a deliverance. I've been tested and by God's grace I'm saved. I'm grateful God taken time to give me a second chance. I'm now singing the gospel, writing songs and been studying the word of God as he lives in me. Overall, I just want to thank you.
May God continue to be with you and your spirit.
I felt the holy spirit today when I met his most excellency today at the rite of election. Such calmness grace and love. Thank you Lord 🙏
Thank you for that prayer father ❤
Father,
You description of the Holy Spirit made me suddenly realize how we can understand why each one of us has been brought in the world with a special purpose and how to transmit that love to others.
May God Bless You.
Beautiful; just beautiful! Father, I learn so much from you! God's blessings to you always.
That message was so clear
Like a mountain stream. Thanks
Beautiful metaphor :) "God is love." 1. John 4:16
Wonderful Bishop Barron, Amen!
Bishop Barron is a gift to the church, and to online education. May God 🙏 😇 bless you, Bishop, and Word on Fire.
Dear Bishop Barron, I found this video so very clarifying on how to perceive the presence of the Holy Spirit! And also what an immeasurable, and always available gift this Person is, if I only pause to speak to him, and ask for him. Thank you ! I am grateful for this new understanding just in time to celebrate Pentecost in a beautiful new light!
How do I know? God always manifests on me. He answers me in many ways more than one - thru a dream, a deep sense of his presence, by turning a leaf of a passage or a word of God, or a surprise appearance of a person or a thing, even thru the cosmos by looking up to the skies - the clouds in the day or the moon and stars in the night, etc. And you know, I'm going thru your lectures, homilies, retreats thru the youtubes, Q&A's every day hoping to go thru 250+/- of them during my self-quarantine which is about the best thing that resulted this time. Watching from Coquitlam, B.C., Canada. Thank you, Father.
Wow wow wow, just wow! Thank you sir for this insightful and "fruitful" message. May the Lord bless you!
Powerful and a beautiful message of love
Wonderful explanation on fruits of holy spirit to examine our conscience to see where we are. May God bless Rev.Fr. and all who listen
Father Barron, your descrition of the Holy Spirit's fruits is so beautiful I almost cried.
Thank you Fr. Robert. What an excellent, concise explanation. May God continue to inspire, energize, enlighten, and empower you to share the truths of our Catholic faith.
I Love God the Holy Spirit!! Love listening and knowing more about God the Holy Spirit!! Thank You Jesus for sending the Holy Spirit and Thank you Bishop Barron for the massage on God the Holy Spirit!!
Thank you Lord Jesus for your Holy Spirit that is always present in every Christians.
Holy Spirit I would love to see your priests, Bishop Barron and Larry Richards together speaking to us your Word on Fire and Surrendering to you Holy Spirit. Amen.
Thank you Bishop Barron!
Beautiful teaching! I loved it, thank you
Fr. Barron is an excellent source for interpretation, but here we see a humble Teacher. "How can I tell if I am on the right path?" It's answered beyond doubt here, from Galations 5. Thanks very much, Father
So beautiful. I would just like to clarify one point which Fr mentions near the end of his talk. 'He says we must ask for the Holy Spirit, well I understand what he means, however we receive the Holy Spirit in a special way when we are Confirmed. The graces we receive often remain quite hidden as we pay too much attention to the world, however we can then ask to be renewed through the power of the Holy Spirit, that the Holy Spirit may fan into flames those graces which God has already given us from the moment of Baptism as well as Confirmation.
Thanks for such an Informative and educational Video. A big thank you goes to Rev. Bishop Baron for the excellent Teaching regarding The Presence of The Holy Spirit in us. I greatly recommend it.
This was a blessing to find this late evening for me. We need more positive commentary like this...Thanks... again, Father. Your homilies come from such great introspection....and grace. Bless you.
You are full of Holy Spirit Bishop Barron..Best Regards from Indonesia..

The Holy Trinity: who are they that compose it.
---------------
5 The Father stood before His children and explained unto them that He had chosen a leader from among them to watch over His work in this part of His kingdom.
6 And the Father called forth Jehovah from among the other spirits and presented him before them as the one that He had chosen.
7 And it came to pass that another valiant spirit was called forth and presented unto the spirits by the Father.
8 And the Father brought forth one of the spirits and presented him to the other spirits that resided there. And I beheld that this spirit was Michael, who would become the mortal father of all the children of men.
15 There before the throne of the Eternal Father, even Elohim, stood Jehovah, even Jesus the Christ, and Michael, the father of all the children of men, even the man Adam. And every knee bowed and every soul sang praises to this Holy Trinity.
16 There appeared a sea of many souls, even more numerous than the sands upon the sea shore, each singing praises of glory towards the throne of God, and all kneeling in honor of their Father and their God.
11 And it came to pass that Michael went down and passed through the days of his probation and died; yea, even so, he returned once again to the world of spirits from whence he came.
12 And Michael ruled at the right hand of Jehovah and reigned in his stead when the time came for Jehovah to pass through the days of his probation.
16 And for the small space of time in between the death of his mortal body and his resurrection, Jesus entered once again into the spirit world and bestowed upon Michael all the powers and authority that he had received from the Father, so that Michael could rule and reign in the spirit world.
17 And now, this is the mystery that hath not been revealed except unto those who have been faithful and received the knowledge of God by way of the spirit of God. For behold, Michael is the other member of the Godhead, yea even the Holy Ghost.
20 But Michael would not take upon himself a resurrected body, but was called and chosen to rule and reign in the spirit world as the Holy Ghost until the work of the Father, concerning His children that belong to this part of His kingdom, is finished.
52 And in this way, Michael, who is the Holy Ghost, is known as the archangel who is in constant battle for the souls of men with Lucifer, who is also known as the devil.
♥️
It's "veni, Sancte Spiritus."
You are the best I have ever heard and seen ! Please continue...
Thank you father God bless you. Your a good light and salt😊😊
I father Robert. I'm going through an RCIA course at the moment and we discussed the holy spirit last week. Your video was very good in helping me understanding. I said to our group that the holy spirit is like a candle in the dark, but one you can't see, you can only feel the warmth but beckons you towards the right path..... I think you said the same thing. God bless you.
very beautiful description if you believe in Christianity or not. Peace of our souls....love, joy, etc
Come oh Holy Spirit really does change your disposition instantly.
Another prayer for catholics regarding a spiritual communion.
My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You.
Father Barron, you are truly a great man and a great priest. I'm troubling trying to find answers regarding the Catholic Faith, and I have been made fun of simply because I'm a Catholic. I try to ask questions, but I feel like I'm going nowhere. I really wish I could talk to some like you and try to reach the answers I'm seeking while I'm struggling in this spiritual abyss. God Bless You, keep up the good work :)
Come oh holy spirit i love you and i need you be my love , i need you now oh holy spirit 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Amen praise the lord
This is one of the best videos you have done Father. Thank you, I think anyone struggling to find God's plan for their life will appreciate this video just as I have.
This is so incredibly refreshing and pleasurable, your words carry an outstanding sense of revealing truth in every sentence. The lack of words like yours that made me try to find God in other Christian denominations and is your speech that makes me wonder if I should reconsider the Catholic way again. Thank you!
Thank you Bishop Barron, God is great! I was just speaking to God about the Holy Spirit and He provided me information about the Holy Spirit. Blessed Be God!
This tutoriall has so much relevancy to understanding Pope Francis' call to solidarity and the common good in Laudato Si.... thanks so much Bishop Barron!
Excellent video, thank you. I find great peace and comfort in your videos father Barron.
What a brilliant analysis on the Holy Spirit, Bishop Barron. Thank you.
Powerful, and also a great definition of what. Joy is Vs joy or happiness . The Joy that comes from living according to The Spirit
So appreciate this teaching. Thank you!
Shalom; the submission of the will to God. It is the sole route to peace. It does not belong to man who is walking to direct, even, his steps. Thank you Bishop.
You described the Holy Spirit better than anyone I have ever heard. I plan to spread your description everywhere the wind blows! Thank You, God Bless
El Señor le colme de bendiciones, Monseñor! Gracias por introducir el Espíritu Santo en mi corazón. Ahora tengo más claro lo que significa amar, es sencillo: Veni Sancte Spiritu y El -cuando quiera- me hará vivir en Caridad.
Hello, Bishop Barron. Nice video, as usual! You’ve helped me with my homework. I hope I get an A+!
No. Together they form one principle, for love cannot exist without a mutual exchange between lover and beloved. That's why the Holy Spirit has to proceed from the Father and the Son. (Patre Filioque).
Thank you Father Barron!
Thank you
Can you hear Jesus through the Holy Spirit and God's Light? I listened to Jesus directly. He is head of the Church and directly runs it all.
Our father.... who is.... hallowed.... your kingdom.... on earth as.... forgive our trespasses ... deliver us from... the kingdom... the power and... forever and ever... !
Love all his talks.
If only this teaching could vanguard the church of tomorrow.....one could almost drop everything else .....very inspiring thank you bishop
You are so clever, bishop Barron. You know so much bible out of you’re head. And so much good advise. Thanks a lot for your excelend advise.
may god bless u bishop u r doing wonderful job
Father, your videos are amazing. Cheers from Brazil.
God bless you.
Love is that with which you can not live without.
Padre agradezco su capacidad de comunicar y compartirlo ! Saludos cariñosos desde CDMX
It makes a quite vague construct really grounded in life. Lovely lecture.
Thank you father may God bless you
Come on, friend: you're descending into irresponsible caricature here. Thomas Aquinas clearly holds that the Holy Spirit is a person endowed with intellect, will, freedom, creativity, etc. How could it be otherwise, since the Spirit shares the same divine essence as the Father and the Son?
I enjoy your perspective on things, and I agree with your view on the Holy Spirit in one sense
But it is also directly tangible, something which can be viewed and experienced during prayer (or at other times as God wills), as mentioned in Corinthians when the disciples would visit various churches and give them direct experience with the Holy Spirit
This comment probably won't reach you, but I would be interested in hearing an educated Catholic perspective on the Holy Spirit as a tangible force
My own experiences with the Holy Spirit, have changed my life, and fortified my faith. These experiences reveal my selfishness, and other faults. Showing a state of being, much further than what a fallen man could achieve, but the glimpse gives me hope, and underlines the reality of morality, how sincere moral progress brings us closer to God
This is a great video I may need to return to over and over. Thank you father.
Wow, beautiful! Very timely for Pentecost and for my family and me. Thank you Bishop Barron!

@@erwinaquinde7211 Thank you for asking! *Please correct me Bishop Barron if I am mistaken in any of my answer* The Trinity refers to the Three Persons in the One God. That's why we can still say with our Jewish brothers and sisters that, "The Lord is God. The Lord Is One." The three divine Persons of the Holy Trinity are the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit, the person of the Trinity Who proceeds from the love of Father and Son. One of the best ways to try to understand this is the love of husband and wife which produces a third person, the child, though this is just an analogy because God is so far above us. We pray that the Holy Spirit may come to us so that we may have the very life of God within us.
Mommy SeaStar
No, they are not of one body but one in purpose. 3 separate beings the Father, Elohim; the son jehovah (jesus christ); and michael (adam) who became the holy spirit.
For you to understand these things more fully, we were born as spirit offspring of heavenly parentage that is why before jesus experience life in mortality, he was jehovah and so is adam, he was michael. You and i have names there. It is just that God put a veil in our mortal body that we can not recall our pre-existent life for us to be tried and tested by faith. And once we die and back again as a spirit, the memories that we had in our pre mortal life will right back restored to us.
I leave you this adam’s counsel toward his children.
And by the way, this source scripture is not the bible. You may not believe these it is okay. It is for you to compare the doctrine that are taught to us since when we enter mortal life.

Part 1: Adam’s counsel to his children pertaining to our Eternal Parents:
---------------
20 And now my beloved children, do ye suppose that if we were created in the image of the Gods-both male and female-that this image is only that of a man? Ye know well that there are females among us, and are not their bodies also created in the image of God? And I say unto you that they are also created in the image of God, and that God is not our Father alone, but that we also have an Eternal Mother, who is also a God.
21 And these things I have caused to be taught unto you by faith, knowing that ye have never seen the Father and the Mother of whom I speak. For they are the father and the mother of your spirits, which spirits ye also cannot see with your mortal eyes. Nevertheless, our Eternal Father and Mother are not made of spirit matter of which our spirits are made, but they have bodies of flesh and bone like unto ours. And our mortal bodies were created in the image of their eternal bodies, which are perfect. And our mortal bodies, which are imperfect, were made in the image of their bodies, but not in an exact likeness like unto our spirits.
22 For behold, our spirits are an exact likeness of our eternal parents in a similar way as your mortal bodies are a likeness of your mortal parents. And ye have beheld the body that I possess, and also the body that your mother Eve possesseth. And we were not born of mortal parents, therefore our bodies were not created in the likeness of imperfection, but were created after the pattern of the bodies of our Father and Mother in heaven.
And for this reason ye have beheld that we have maintained our strength and our vitality even unto a very old age. And your mother Eve is like unto her daughters in every way, even that she hath lived many years past the deaths of many of her daughters, even those who have defiled their bodies and made them impure by those things which were forbidden unto them.
26 And Eve brought this knowledge back to my attention many times, but I would not listen to her because of my pride; yea, even the pride that a man doth feel because of the strength that he hath been given over a woman. Yet this strength that I have been given over Eve was not the strength of the spirit, which strength she hath in a greater abundance than I. And for this reason, my beloved sons, I would that ye should look unto your wives and your mothers; yea, in many instances, even unto your daughters for this spiritual strength that will keep you humble during the days of your probation here in mortality.
35 And now my beloved children, I would that ye should know that before we came to this earth, even to this part of this great universe, which expanse of space we can see with our mortal eyes; yea, even before we came to this planet upon which we now live and pass through the days of this probation, we lived on another planet with our Eternal Parents, who is the God that I have taught you to believe in all the days of my life.
36 And we were created from the materials from our Eternal Mother, having received the instructions for the creation of our spirits from our Eternal Father. And this process took place in a similar fashion like unto the conception of a child here in mortality. Nevertheless, this conception was perfect and refined according to the laws of the planet on which our Eternal Parents live.
42 And our Mothers who brought us forth from Their own bodies began to teach us these eternal laws of happiness. Yea, even from the day of our spiritual birth we were continually taught and raised by our Mothers to know this happiness. And by teaching us about this happiness, our Eternal Mothers received their own happiness.
43 And this is the work and the glory of an eternal woman who hath the power and the ability, which Her exalted body provideth, even to bring forth spiritual offspring, which are Her eternal children, which She shall know forever.
44 But the Father hath other works that He doeth, even according to the eternal laws of happiness that govern Him. For while our Eternal Mother is caring for our spirit and bringing other spirits into being, that our spirit might not be alone; yea, even as She is engaged in the desires of Her own happiness, so is our Father engaged in the performance of His labors, which labors shall provide for us the means by which we shall be able to know the happiness that our Mothers desire for us.
45 Behold, our Eternal Mothers perform the labors that are necessary for our first estate, which estate is the state in which we find ourselves as spirits in the kingdom of our Eternal Parents. But our Eternal Father performeth the labors that are necessary for our second estate, which estate is the state of the days of our probation, or the days of our mortality.
46 And because our Mothers are busy with their labors in our first estate, They do not concern Themselves with the cares and labors of our second estate. And our Father doth not concern himself with the affairs of our first estate, in which estate the labors of our Mothers are performed. For what purpose would we need a mother if it was that our father could provide for all of our needs? And again, what purpose would we need a father, if our mother could provide us with all that we need?
47 For this reason the Gods are male and female; nevertheless, they are equal in all things, having the same glory and the same power.♥️♥️♥️
@@erwinaquinde7211 I am not sure where you are reading from, but this is not part of the Hebrew scriptures, Jewish tradition, nor Christian doctrine. It is not in the Biblical canon anywhere. I have read the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Old Testament. My original answer is directly from the Catholic and Orthodox Christian understanding of the Trinity.
Thank you bishopb
Thank you Bishop Barron for helping me find Jesus through the Word on Fire Volume 1 (The Gospels) your weekly sermons and your Rosary.
The centre of my life is Lord Jesus now. I've learnt to let go of all my attachments and I might live a life of poverty but to experience living with Jesus through the Holy Spirit everyday is worth it ❤
I still need to pray more to Jesus and thank him for everything his done in my life 😊❤
Once again Bishop Barron, thank you for sharing the word and putting hope back into the world 💪❤
Thanks Bishop Barron! 🙏
Great and simple words ...
Thankyou Bishop Barron.
Our Heavenly Father, I need Your Help. Thank you 🙏🏾
I’m still asking for HELP 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾

Loved this video, Father. I am a catechist and it is always so difficult to explain the Holy Spirit: who is He and what does He do. Thanks for lighting this up. Come, Holy Spirit!
