I see bishop Barron took Peterson’s comment on the people needing to be led on a heroic journey seriously. Word for word what Peterson said. Outstanding homily.
I was bummed I wasn’t going to leave for the journey to DC to stand up to the current persecution of the church. Now I am searching for another route to give the best of me to Christ. I have a plane ticket, but found I am pregnant with twins and the flight and possible danger is too dangerous for my little ones. Now I’m not bummed anymore. I see God is showing me another way to find him. I have taken up the weapon of the daily rosary rather then marching and waving signs. The invisible enemies are scared of my love and attention to the rosary, I can feel it.
My best wishes to thee. I also started to pay attention to the rosary. I just ordered a beautiful one from Jerusalem. I will have to relearn how to recite it. As I did when I was little, with my grandmother, at vesper.
Few weeks ago i asked to anyone to pray for my dad who was ill of covid , unfortanly he died last december 20th i am gratefull to averyone who prayed for him
Migue, I will still pray for you, your father's eternal rest, and all those in your family. My brother died May 24 of the worst form of a brain tumor at 60. We asked for a miracle, but God accomplished His Will by taking him to Himself. Acceptance is one of the great gifts we can give as the Magi gave theirs.
@@darleneschieltz4030 thank you very much for praying for me , now i am the head of my family in the económic aspect , i have the responsability of my mum and my sister i ask God for wisdom so i be able to live a life of rectitude according to our lord teachings
Thank you Bishop Barron. This sermon is the best summary of the Magi story I have ever heard. I will carry it in my heart, and strive to give the best of myself to Christ.
I'm an evangelical christian and I think your teaching was a blessing, dear brother Bp. Barron. Thank you for sharing this wisdom with us. May God continue to use your life and ministry for our edification.
For those that seek more can subscribe to Word On Fire Institute. It is part of my daily life now. It's an amazing platform of learning through Bishop Barron as well as others and discussion groups are amazing. The people who are members are incredible people that just lift you up. God bless you.
Another incredibly insightful , clear , motivating and inspiring message from Bishop Barron . I am so grateful to be able to listen and read his sermons and other publications they have inspired me to deepen my faith and be grateful . I began going to Mass everyday in large part due to his inspiring talks about the parts of the Mass especially the Eucharist . I go now because I am grateful and desire to , not because I think I have too . thank you Bishop Barron and all your staff and support groups that bring Gods message to all of us .
Eddie. Thank you for your beautiful, honest comment. It's so refreshing to learn just how much Bishop Barron's talks inspire people, encouraging them to return to the Church and do so freely and from personal conviction. I share your enthusiasm. Blessings.
I realize in this time of Covid where our usual route to Christ the mass and Eucharist are closed we have become spiritually apathetic and unmotivated. Bishop your homily is definitely a wake up call to spiritual action.
His homilies always makes me know more about Christ. Thank you, Lord for those Shepherds whom you have gifted to touch the hearts of the people. His homilies always touches my soul.
"Sometimes we can discern the will of God but we can't muster the courage and energy to act" I love that comment Bishop Barron because the reason that the world is at this point of such a deep turning away from God, where evil is celebrated and goodness is condemned is precisely because of this lack of courage on the part of Faithful Catholics to say yes as Mary did despite any apprehension we have, because when it is God's will then of course He will be with us to guide and protest us! "Expect opposition and muster the courage with God's Grace to face it down" profound words Bishop Barron and so true, God bless you!
God bless your soul, Bishop Barron! You are a true spiritual Master! On 6th of January, this great feast, is my birthday. I wish that the light which guided the Magi to Christ, light my darkness. I wish that I can give to Christ what's the best in me, like you said Bishop Barron.
A very inspired message by a man who truly follows God's calling. This homily moved my soul and made me want to change - certainly what God intended when he speaks through man. Amen! Thank you Bishop Barron.
"Giving God what's best in me.." My father was not a practicing catholic. He embraced the catholic faith only when he married my mother. When he first learned of my religious vocation he was very silent & showed no support. I was surprised to hear him telling his friends one day : " Must I give God what is not precious to me? He deserves the best." Thank you Bp. Barron, you just reminded me of my father's big heartedness. May he rest in peace.
We all should know how to live a righteous life. We just need to remind ourselves not to be misled, not to be tempted. I don't know if it's my flesh or evil that makes me week, but when confronted with difficulty we can always ask ourselves, what would Jesus do?
God bless you and keep you Bishop Barron. I'm happy to have you as my "virtually present" spiritual director, because you always confirm what the Holy Spirit stirs within my heart and mind. I think what I truly love about following the daily readings in step with the church, contemplating what Scripture is revealing, then listening to your homilies for each Sunday is working well for me in this pandemic state. I know what I always need to work on after I hear your words. I long for the day when churches can reopen and I can return to enjoy the Eucharist, and thank our Father for bringing Him into the world. Truly we can celebrate the Epiphany every Sunday when we receive our Lord.
It never occurred to me that one day I would bump into such teachings as from Bishop Barron’s that would change my life. I look forward to his sermons even though I go to mass every Sunday. May God keep keeping you safe Bishop.
Once we experience Christ, we can't go back the same way we came from because Christ is the (new) way, the (real) truth and the (transformed) life. We are forever uniquely-new creations not of this world.
This sermon on transformation through Christ was beautiful. Especially for referencing Fulton Sheen! We can’t return to our old life and old ways once our blessed Lord dwells in our heart. It’s a hard new road but a better one, which ultimately brings peace and hope. Thank you and God bless you Bishop Barron 🙏🏻
What an exciting concept for the new year, not going back the way we came. Gives me hope that change in me to give it all to Christ and my talents will be magnified through Him. Wonderful.
Thank you for being direct in telling us to act, have courage, give our best and be transformed. Difficult but with us being open to God's grace, we can do it.
This is THE BEST YET!!!!! IT IS FOR ME; MY EXAMINATION OF MY CONSCIENCE AND SHOWED ME THAT I AM REALLY FAR FROM WHAT GOD IS EXPECTING OF ME!!!! To say " Thank YOU, BISHOP BARRON" is simply totally insufficient! I must change my life in order to truly thank him! WHAT A REAL SHEPHERD HE IS!!!!
I just subscribe to father Mike podcast about the reading the Bible for the whole year and this is the complete explanation. So receptive like never before. This sermon is outstanding, i will have to listen to it very often. Happy new year again, my fellow follower of Our Saviour Jesus Christ
The phrase...they went back by another Way. Earliest ones who followed the Messiah/Christ were known as living The Way. The Bishop can unite the Words of the Gospel with the passion of Faith.🌹
I thoroughly appreciated the insights in your sermon. I couldn't help but think of the Apostle Paul's words to not be conformed to the world, but to be transformed according to the renewal of our minds in Christ Jesus. What an idea! Each day going back home by a different way because of what Christ is doing in us!
Thank you, dear Bishop, for this excellent sermon! The great Archbishop Sheen hit the nail on the head, that our Lord Jesus is transforming us by His Holy Spirit, not come just to make us into better people. Indeed, may we not be spiritually lazy in these last days. Lord guide and lead us, and keep us in His ways!
Bishop Barron, that was so beautiful. It really spoke to me. I have been running away from what God is asking me to do. I pray that I will have the courage to give the best of myself to God.
Three times, I listened to this homily and finally saw in me the « on-offedness » that prevents me to break open to God. While, as a sinner, I tend to sin, sometimes I attend to God, other times I attend to, not unlike Herod, what I fear the most to lose - (in my case, my fear of losing being desired by others). Now, I see the pattern so clearly: while, as all sinners, I tend to sin, I attend to God once, I attend to the sweet taste of the apple at another time. Now, here is what I am hearing for the first time: « While tending to sin, always attend to Me, dear child of mine. Such is the only way to a different route. » A blessed New Year to all and my brother in Christ, Robert Barron. Shalom Lévis Shalom
Your Humbleness is my great inspiration. Thank you Bishop above all Thank you Lord for giving me a good person so humble with smiling face to spread Your loves for a sinners like us to Love You Lord Jesus Christ more and more each day of our lives. Amen 🙏
Your Excellency, I am most grateful to you for this sermon. I have been rendered speechless. Instead of words, the spiritual insights stirred my soul to tears of understanding. All too often, the story of the magi has been sentimentalized. Your sermon has changed that thoroughly. I am now returning home via an entirely different route. Thank you.
Outstanding Bishop Barron. Thank you. I am saving it to use for the Continuing Education program of the Stephen Ministers in my parish. It is a wonderful tool for reflection and discussion. I am also giving the Word on Fire Gospel as presents for Christmas.
Well done! Succinct and full of direction to us all. I find it so exciting that this is only one day on the net and it has had over 122,000 views. We are a church alive, searching for you Lord!!!!!
Thank you, Bishop Barron. You have given me a new insight to an old story. It is where I am in life as well. Nothing I have done before is allowed....you have shown me how to see with fresh eyes rather than resist or mourn the loss of the familiar. God has made this season new ~ through His word and your voice. God Bless!
When you use the divine pattern on how God deals with his people, the Bible, and then reaffirm this in Tradition, and you make a practical application for us today, you have an amazing Sermon. Thank you Bishop Barron.
Thank you, Bishop Barron! At a time in my life where discernment of how to best serve God in my remaining years has been foremost in my heart and prayers; being willing to act while holding nothing back can sometimes be a frightening thing, especially in the face of opposition. I am praying for the courage to trust in God's grace to sustain me in whatever way He would care to use me. Pax and blessings to you!
Amen🙏❤ I love the homily - thank you Bisshop Barron. I would like to find what's best of me, which I can give to Lord, our father. Please give me lots of courage to move and to act your way, Lord - Amen
I don't care what the critics say about you Bishop Barron, we love you, and pray for you.

A real blessing! God has only the best for you. He always will.
Good for you!
My best wishes to thee. I also started to pay attention to the rosary. I just ordered a beautiful one from Jerusalem. I will have to relearn how to recite it. As I did when I was little, with my grandmother, at vesper.
Bishop Barron is the best at explaining all we need to know about our religion as Catholics.
From an Englishman living in Russia and Orthodox.Remarkably good sermon,thank you Bishop.

I am sorry. May he rest in peace.
Thank you Bishop Barron. This sermon is the best summary of the Magi story I have ever heard. I will carry it in my heart, and strive to give the best of myself to Christ.
I loved your comment, Bonnie. I quoted you in my response to the sermon. Thank you.
You'll go back by a different route... Gives me chills
This is an exceptionally inspiring sermon
... like a well Billy Graham type unction that, as a current RCIA, gave me goosebumps.
I agree regarding exceptional-much to ponder then act

Thank you for being here☆
Stay blessed☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
I realize in this time of Covid where our usual route to Christ the mass and Eucharist are closed we have become spiritually apathetic and unmotivated. Bishop your homily is definitely a wake up call to spiritual action.
A real encounter with Jesus is always crucial for it changes our vision and gives us a new perspective.
I never ceased to be amazed with Bishop Barron's deep intelligence, integrity, and holiness.
I am that guy Bishop described having spite, envy and cynical of those having the courage, energy and skills to ACT.
Encore! Encore!
His homilies always makes me know more about Christ. Thank you, Lord for those Shepherds whom you have gifted to touch the hearts of the people. His homilies always touches my soul.
The best reflection the Magi story. Wow. Thank you so much! This has spoken to me big time!!!

"Expect opposition and muster the courage with God's Grace to face it down" profound words Bishop Barron and so true, God bless you!
I see so much beauty all around me,i loudly thank our Father ,giving Him all glory.
Love this Bishop Barron ❤ May the Holy Spirit continue to strengthen and encourage you 🙏 ❤️ 🙌
God bless your soul, Bishop Barron! You are a true spiritual Master! On 6th of January, this great feast, is my birthday. I wish that the light which guided the Magi to Christ, light my darkness. I wish that I can give to Christ what's the best in me, like you said Bishop Barron.
Lord Jesus please take everything I have. Which isn't much but have whatever You want.
A very inspired message by a man who truly follows God's calling. This homily moved my soul and made me want to change - certainly what God intended when he speaks through man. Amen! Thank you Bishop Barron.
I like how you unpack scriptures for us Bishop Barron. God bless
Word. We ought to give the best to Christ.
"Giving God what's best in me.."
My father was not a practicing catholic. He embraced the catholic faith only when he married my mother. When he first learned of my religious vocation he was very silent & showed no support. I was surprised to hear him telling his friends one day : " Must I give God what is not precious to me? He deserves the best."
Thank you Bp. Barron, you just reminded me of my father's big heartedness. May he rest in peace.
When you stand at life's crossroads
And you know not where to turn,
When you see no star to lead
You can trace the Savior's steps.
We all should know how to live a righteous life. We just need to remind ourselves not to be misled, not to be tempted. I don't know if it's my flesh or evil that makes me week, but when confronted with difficulty we can always ask ourselves, what would Jesus do?

We must put on the Armor of God Eph 6.
St. Joseph Terror of Demons pray for us 🙏🏽
That was especially illuminating and inspiring thank you very much.

Thank you for the encouragement, Bishop Barron. This lesson is an eye-opener and timely for me.
I agree--this is an outstanding homily.
Hi sister, just a quick question, is a homily synonymous with a sermon? Are they the same? Blessings.
yes, they are the same. @@estoyenelflowstate4412
Thank you Bishop Barron.
I shed a tear. The truth hit me.
After watching this my heart was filled with joy and inspiration . Thank god for your words and teachings to help us get closer to god
This sermon on transformation through Christ was beautiful. Especially for referencing Fulton Sheen! We can’t return to our old life and old ways once our blessed Lord dwells in our heart. It’s a hard new road but a better one, which ultimately brings peace and hope. Thank you and God bless you Bishop Barron 🙏🏻
What an exciting concept for the new year, not going back the way we came. Gives me hope that change in me to give it all to Christ and my talents will be magnified through Him.
Wonderful.
Awsome ty
Thank you Bishop Barron for good homily.
What an uplifting homily. Bishop you have the gift of the Holy Spirit. Thank you.

Thank you Bishop Barron for given us a sermon on these times of quarantine. You help us stay safe during times of plague.
