Peace, Bishop Barron. Deep down, I am afraid of abandonment. I only wanted to be a wife and a mom when I was young. I went to school and got a master's degree to humor my Dad, so that I wouldn't be left without being able to get a good paying job. Now I'm poor again, a working disabled woman, and I get to go to school again. I still fear abandonment. People will do that-- abandon you, but God will never abandon you. That's what I have learned so far in my life. I hope that I will succeed in school-- getting my paramedic certification and renewed CDL; finding a job while I work on my Doctorate. Then hopefully teaching Psychology and Education in a college. I pray for myself and my family members -- that we all have healthy fear of hurting God. Thank you.
You are absolutely correct. Many people Will disappoint and abandon you but God never will. Amen! Thanks be to God. Congrats on getting your degrees. Nobody can take those away from you. With God on your side, no one can stop you now! Keep trusting and obeying God and you will be content. ❤🎉
I am hated & hounded on all sides on the road, in my home in the church in the supermarket even the Chat Box. Through all of this by the Mercy& Grace of God I have this peace deep within me that no one can touch.All Glory & Praise to you, Lord Jesus.
I'm happy you talked about St Charles Lwanga. For I am from Uganda. And those great men still shake me deeply out of spiritual mediocrity. Thanks Bishop
I watched some of the Martyrs Day celebrations online earlier this month. The joy and the vibrancy of the Ugandan church is inspiring. Greetings from Singapore.

Pray for Bishop Strickland! 🙏 ✝️ Do not be afraid of the temporary pains of this world, fear rather the pains of eternal damnation for leading the flock astray.
@@margaretboey8582 Please read scripture, listen to sermons, attend Mass, 🙏and stay close to the Lord. He will hold you in the palm of his hand, and raise you up on eagles' wings.
Deb .....It is written that nothing and absolutely nothing in the whole created order can separate us from God ( Romans 8 ; 37-39 ) There is no place in heaven and earth where we can hide from His Presence ( Psalm 139 ;7-12 ) When you pray God is actually closer to you than your very breath .

It is hard enough doing one. Lol. We live in a world often controlled by evil lies and deceptions. We, despite our best intentions, are often deceived at varies levels. That is why you should not persecute people on the say so of others.
Interesting comments. As Russian Orthodox it is always pleasant to find friendly Catholics. I'm now a Russian citizen but unfortunately was born in London.
I’m not a believer, but the LA Dodger that recently stood against the MLB PRIDE night in constance to his belief system inspires me. Protect the children, religious, gay or not.
I struggle with some bad anxiety that I internalize, people wouldn’t know it. Bishop Barron’s words always calm me and bring me peace. Thank you for what you do, sir.
Glad that Rev.Bishop doesn't boil everything down to the Devi or the Evil Spirit ! Because that, on the contrary, creates more anxiety, fear and insecurity. Bishop increases genuine faith! God bless him!
Me too mate. It’s what brought me to Jesus. So I’m a way, it’s been a positive thing as well. Pray every morning, keep God close and trust he’s got your day 🙏🏻👍🏻
Up at 3 am on a work day after a nightmare. A lot of terror surrounds me. Then a pints with Aquinas pops up in my feed cause I am a Tolkien fan and Peter Kreeft. Then scrolling down a few " Be not afraid". The Lord is mighty and steadfast. I Fear the Lord and praise him in his all. My strength is renewed . My peace is eternal. Bless you Father Bishop. Keep up the good fight. ❤
I’m not catholic but I’ve always wanted to learn more. Very good sermon! Usually we always stick to the churches we were raised and I’m ready to have a more open mind.
Beautiful sermon, Bishop Barron. There is much to be fearful of, and for me, the ONE thing I am afraid of is losing my soul. I am endeavoring to strengthen that part of me through prayer, detachment and learning. I know, unfortunately, how easy it is to fall so that your soul is in danger. Thank you for this reflection and for the reminder that there are men and women who have made that courageous choice to not lose contact with the Almighty by disregarding the danger to their flesh and appropriately safeguarding their souls. God bless you, Excellency.
I'm not afraid of being a Martyr like those he mentioned. I'm afraid of cranky drivers cutting me off on the road, irritable clients accusing me of being incompetent, angry family members making demands on me, wayward children leading immoral lives. . . It's all the little things that i fear, so i strike out in anger and hurt those around me. God have mercy on me.
I have been feeling so afraid and lost lately. I feel afraid of life and what it has in store for me. I always worry about horrible things happening and feel totally un anchored. I have never been Catholic, but I have a rosary and the other night I thought of it and held it in my hand all night and it comforted me. I feel drawn to the Catholic faith and I’m wondering if it’s the anchor I need.
I have always been Catholic. Go to church on sunday and holy days. Just going to confession regularly in the last few years. But not not a true journey with God until I was 77 years old. Bible in a year, twice, Catechism in a year, rosary daily, reading, daily mass. I regret waiting so long. Really taking part in the mass. Thank you Bishop ...
Anxiety is the base line of our social media age. And this is the great dark side trick…to remove hope in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To take our eyes away from the Lord of Life. Fr Clive

Bishop Barron...peace be with you , please remember in prayer the Christians and Catholics of Manipur( India) healthy population.. Facing persecution till now 😢😢...This reading of today will surely strengthen their faith 😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏please pray ...love from Kolkata (India)😢😢
I feel brave and unafraid listening to the Bishop's wise and inspired words. Jesus grant us strength to carry our cross and Mother Mary thank you for showing us the way-the wisdom of asking for the gift of the fear of the Lord.
God gave me life he died for my sins, I'm a sinner and will die a sinner, we all are sinners God forgives us our sins we have to repent and sin nomore he is the only that can save us his stripes has healed us Amen
Another wonderful sermon, really can relate to a lot of the topics mentioned as I’m going through so many things at the moment. Lately have been having such a hard time with things and people and this one hits home. A lot of my calm temperament comes from being faithful during my hardest times, prayers can go a long way but just knowing he’s there for me brings me peace on the daily. I like the metaphor of the castle of safety and peace. Thanks for the amazing message as always!
A well served life in the service of God a coredemptist in His Grand scale of things has no room on the fear of death! We should not afraid of losing our life what we should be afraid of is not living life! K
Bishop Barrons uses powerful examples of saints to demonstrate those who had fear of the Lord and could truly proclaim by their lives, "Be not afraid" in the midst of a world that gave reasons to fear. There is something sobering about how we can suffer eternal punishment if we deny God, even as we marvel that God has made a way for us to Eternal Life to strengthen us in the midst of whatever evil can come at us in this world. Yet all the world can do is kill our bodies, not our souls.
Another powerful sermon, Bishop Barron. I love how you discuss the saints and they’re martyrdom. It makes me want to dive deeper into their lore. Kudos to you for making the Lord relevant to people of all ages in the here and now. ❤God bless all who hear this. Never fear, God is here. Always ready to forgive and love us forever. ❤❤❤
This is the best I have ever hears about Jersmiah. Powerfully good for our soul. God gave us Bishop Barron to enrich and open up our catholic faith. THANK YOU

I do not want to fall away from our Loving God Bishop Barron!!! Despite not having any support from my family, my loved ones and not yet being part of a close community of believers within the Catholic Church. Also not yet participating in service for those who are in need for our Lord. To overcome the obstacles, the challenges I face within and those outside. To persevere regardless of the thoughts and the senses, that are trying to distance me from my God given Faith, to our Eternal Loving Father God, to our Loving Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, to our Lord the Giver of Life, our Great Advocate, the Holy Spirit, and to the Catholic Church!!! Thank you Bishop Barron for this very important Sermon, and these questions we need to ask ourselves...And to TRUST our Lord Jesus Christ's WORDS...TO NOT FEAR what can kill the body BUT FEAR THE ONE WHO CAN KILL THE BODY AND SOUL!!! Our spirit, where God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit ABIDES and my spirit ABIDES IN GOD!!! I pray to the Lord God to keep me CLOSE TO HIM. Could you please pray with me too Bishop Barron?
“….for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14). Very fitting homily especially these days. This sermon’s wisdom combined with Bishop Barron’s video, The Mass, has been an unbelievable spiritual gift the past week. The latter was so riveting, I went back frequently to absorb its rich explanations, even took notes (never, ever do this) & shall revisit again. May blessings return 100 fold to you, Bishop Barron!
I’m afraid of hearing “you wicked, lazy slave” for burying my talents and squandering opportunities…tho not in overt sin, just seemingly never making good choices. Learning to trust Him❤
This relates to one of my favourite scriptures: “The world will make you suffer (my words: be afraid, feel fearful, anxious, worried). But be brave (my words: not afraid), I have overcome the world!” John 16:33 Wonderful homily. Thank you. St. Charles Lwanga and Pope St. John Paul II, pray for us!🙏
Thank you Bishop Barron. I tune in from Kenya and I am so proud of our brothers the Ugandans, our neighbours to the west and their great Saint Lwanga and 22 companions. They gave a resounding "no" to homosexual sin and their actions reverberate the world over especially in these perilous times. Thank you Sir.
Thanks be to God for BB who stands up against anti-Catholic bigotry while the rest of the clergy is too afraid to defend the faith. God bless you Bishop!

Thank you Bishop Barron ,you’re one of those church minister ,apostle ,shepherd ,that I still truly and wholeheartedly trust. So much going on in the Catholic Church ,that one wonders ,if our Faith can survive ,there’s so much noise,that I sometimes just don’t want to read or listen anymore .Be a source of inspiration for me,for us ,to increase in us the Faith.
I often think of faith in God as having our love in order (the first and second greatest commandment). The bishop addresses this from another perspective, which is having our fears in order. Thank you Sir!
I will admit I could not get through Interior Castle, and have been reading The Life of St. Theresa of Avila. But that one remark of yours, Bishop Barron, that is how she would’ve thought about a castle. Not like a Disneyfied version, but a defensive structure, a rampart. That sheds a whole new light on what she was talking about. I will have to give it another try. Thank you.
Very rich, in depth, essential insight, which every faithful need to know and ponder over it, on daily basis, to remain connected with God and HIS Eternal Kingdom.
What a coincide, I was yesterday at the mass, and we remember St. Charles Lwanga; today I am seeing this video and St. Charles Lwanga is mentioned again...
This is all everyone needs to know . This sermon right here. Nothing else. This is the main questions for every human being. God bless you Bishop Barron. 🙏🛐✝️
Dearest Bishop Robert Barron, Good morning! A few weeks ago, I was struggling, and I eventually started to sense that fear inside of me was an attack by Satan meant to cripple my faith. And his attack was working because I was beginning to believe in Satan's agent. Whenever fear would assail me to distract my relationship with serving God, I tried to read the bible verses, but the fear didn't go away; since then, I have realized that many Christians experience similar challenges. Through the Sunday sermon, I find peace. I praise the Lord that I haven't doubted His saving work for turning my weaknesses into strengths and making it possible for me to live with Him and my family forever. Bishop, I pray that Jesus Christ continues to help me overcome fearful thoughts. Thank you for the Sunday sermon today and for praying for my family. God bless you all. St. pray for us. St. Faustina, pray for us. Our lady of Lourdes, pray for us. Sincerely yours, Cecilia Dreger and family (📖❤)Wilbur Sacred Heart Parishioner( Bishop Thomas Daly and retired priest )
@MargaretMcGee-te4hz Good morning, Bishop Barron. We know the yellow airplane pilot was a poor team player. Dominate work compilation and seek empathy to control every aspect. He has criminal delinquent behavior (narcissistic).
❤ Excellent homily. / hey you, all Citizen Kain propagandists who denounce me, “ call me what instrument you will, you may even fret me , yet you cannot play upon me. “ // ( my soul attuned only to my Lord’s Breath. )
We can respect different opinions but in the end we must follow our conscience. To go against our conscience is neither safe or right . Bishop Strickland is a good and sincere man but he is not always correct and the same can be said about any Bishop. Don't ever follow any person blindly as you will fall into a ditch and get so disappointed . Simply follow Christ alone who is the true Light of the world and you will never walk in darkness and reach " The promised land " where God dwells eternally.
Interesting way to explain our relationship with God. To be afraid of God. That is why to this day I am still afraid of going to hell. That is what I was taught as a child. I now only think about God’s love and grace. He forgives me and and doesn’t want me to fear Him.
thank you bishop Barron for proclaiming this Good News

Thank you Father Baron🙏Godbless everyone I pray for all to find God🙏🫰🔥and keep their souls strong amen!
Wonderful message Bishop, thank you!! The only lasting relationship is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!❤
God gave me life he died for my sins, I'm a sinner and will die a sinner, we all are sinners God forgives us our sins we have to repent and sin nomore he is the only that can save us his stripes has healed us Amen
The Lord is my God and Saviour. He will have my soul since it is HIS to start with, my body will surely die, but my soul is HIS for Eternity.
"The Lord is My Shepherd, I shall not want..."
I have listened to this sermon twice and find it very inspirational. God is good, all the time!
All of your videos never fail to inspire and encourage me. You are one of the best preachers in the Church.
God bless you Bishop Barron. Every Saturday tuned in from Calgary-Canada.
Bishop Barron shall be Pope one day.
Another wonderful sermon, really can relate to a lot of the topics mentioned as I’m going through so many things at the moment. Lately have been having such a hard time with things and people and this one hits home.
A lot of my calm temperament comes from being faithful during my hardest times, prayers can go a long way but just knowing he’s there for me brings me peace on the daily. I like the metaphor of the castle of safety and peace. Thanks for the amazing message as always!
That was a powerful sermon on faith over fear. It’s difficult to listen to stories about the saints, but the stories are also very inspiring. ♥️✝️
A well served life in the service of God a coredemptist in His Grand scale of things has no room on the fear of death! We should not afraid of losing our life what we should be afraid of is not living life! K
Maintain a contact with the Lord at the level of your soul ' Bishop Barron'
A very meaningful sermon for me. Thank you Bishop Barron.
Bishop Barrons uses powerful examples of saints to demonstrate those who had fear of the Lord and could truly proclaim by their lives, "Be not afraid" in the midst of a world that gave reasons to fear.
There is something sobering about how we can suffer eternal punishment if we deny God, even as we marvel that God has made a way for us to Eternal Life to strengthen us in the midst of whatever evil can come at us in this world. Yet all the world can do is kill our bodies, not our souls.
Another powerful sermon, Bishop Barron. I love how you discuss the saints and they’re martyrdom. It makes me want to dive deeper into their lore. Kudos to you for making the Lord relevant to people of all ages in the here and now. ❤God bless all who hear this. Never fear, God is here. Always ready to forgive and love us forever. ❤❤❤
This is the best I have ever hears about Jersmiah.
Powerfully good for our soul.
God gave us Bishop Barron to enrich and open up our catholic faith.
THANK YOU

Encouraging homily, it made me reflect upon my fears and failings and our call to repentance. Viva Cristo Rey! God bless you. 🙏❤️🩹🕊️
Bishop Barron thank you so much for teaching on the reality of mortal sin. I’ve found many clergy don’t believe in it.
I do not want to fall away from our Loving God Bishop Barron!!! Despite not having any support from my family, my loved ones and not yet being part of a close community of believers within the Catholic Church. Also not yet participating in service for those who are in need for our Lord. To overcome the obstacles, the challenges I face within and those outside. To persevere regardless of the thoughts and the senses, that are trying to distance me from my God given Faith, to our Eternal Loving Father God, to our Loving Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, to our Lord the Giver of Life, our Great Advocate, the Holy Spirit, and to the Catholic Church!!! Thank you Bishop Barron for this very important Sermon, and these questions we need to ask ourselves...And to TRUST our Lord Jesus Christ's WORDS...TO NOT FEAR what can kill the body BUT FEAR THE ONE WHO CAN KILL THE BODY AND SOUL!!! Our spirit, where God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit ABIDES and my spirit ABIDES IN GOD!!! I pray to the Lord God to keep me CLOSE TO HIM. Could you please pray with me too Bishop Barron?
“….for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14). Very fitting homily especially these days. This sermon’s wisdom combined with Bishop Barron’s video, The Mass, has been an unbelievable spiritual gift the past week. The latter was so riveting, I went back frequently to absorb its rich explanations, even took notes (never, ever do this) & shall revisit again. May blessings return 100 fold to you, Bishop Barron!
God Bless you Bishop Barron! I needed to hear this today 🙏🏻 Jesus, I trust in You!
I’m afraid of hearing “you wicked, lazy slave” for burying my talents and squandering opportunities…tho not in overt sin, just seemingly never making good choices. Learning to trust Him❤
This relates to one of my favourite scriptures:
“The world will make you suffer (my words: be afraid, feel fearful, anxious, worried). But be brave (my words: not afraid), I have overcome the world!” John 16:33
Wonderful homily. Thank you.
St. Charles Lwanga and Pope St. John Paul II, pray for us!🙏
Thanks bishop its like a yesterday Mass the message I like that thanks ilove your tiching
For anyone who is away from God, He loves you and is Merciful and always forgives you if you repent and return (or turn) to Him 🙏❤
Good sermon God bless you father
You’re the best, Bishop Barron.
🔝🔝🔝
Thank you Bishop Barron. I tune in from Kenya and I am so proud of our brothers the Ugandans, our neighbours to the west and their great Saint Lwanga and 22 companions. They gave a resounding "no" to homosexual sin and their actions reverberate the world over especially in these perilous times. Thank you Sir.
May the Uganda Martyrs pray for us. Amen.
Thanks be to God for BB who stands up against anti-Catholic bigotry while the rest of the clergy is too afraid to defend the faith. God bless you Bishop!

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.
Thank you Bishop Barron ,you’re one of those church minister ,apostle ,shepherd ,that I still truly and wholeheartedly trust.
So much going on in the Catholic Church ,that one wonders ,if our Faith can survive ,there’s so much noise,that I sometimes just don’t want to read or listen anymore .Be a source of inspiration for me,for us ,to increase in us the Faith.
Powerful. Thank you!
What does it profits a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?! From our Good Lord Jesus Christ
I often think of faith in God as having our love in order (the first and second greatest commandment). The bishop addresses this from another perspective, which is having our fears in order. Thank you Sir!
I will admit I could not get through Interior Castle, and have been reading The Life of St. Theresa of Avila. But that one remark of yours, Bishop Barron, that is how she would’ve thought about a castle. Not like a Disneyfied version, but a defensive structure, a rampart. That sheds a whole new light on what she was talking about. I will have to give it another try. Thank you.
Thank you Bishop Baron. It is an inspiring sermon.
Very rich, in depth, essential insight, which every faithful need to know and ponder over it, on daily basis, to remain connected with God and HIS Eternal Kingdom.
What a coincide, I was yesterday at the mass, and we remember St. Charles Lwanga; today I am seeing this video and St. Charles Lwanga is mentioned again...
I want to be united with God.
This is all everyone needs to know . This sermon right here. Nothing else. This is the main questions for every human being. God bless you Bishop Barron. 🙏🛐✝️
Dearest Bishop Robert Barron,
Good morning!
A few weeks ago, I was struggling, and I eventually started to sense that fear inside of me was an attack by Satan meant to cripple my faith. And his attack was working because I was beginning to believe in Satan's agent. Whenever fear would assail me to distract my relationship with serving God, I tried to read the bible verses, but the fear didn't go away; since then, I have realized that many Christians experience similar challenges. Through the Sunday sermon, I find peace. I praise the Lord that I haven't doubted His saving work for turning my weaknesses into strengths and making it possible for me to live with Him and my family forever. Bishop, I pray that Jesus Christ continues to help me overcome fearful thoughts. Thank you for the Sunday sermon today and for praying for my family. God bless you all.
St. pray for us.
St. Faustina, pray for us.
Our lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Sincerely yours,
Cecilia Dreger and family (📖❤)Wilbur Sacred Heart Parishioner( Bishop Thomas Daly and retired priest )

Good morning, Bishop Barron. We know the yellow airplane pilot was a poor team player. Dominate work compilation and seek empathy to control every aspect. He has criminal delinquent behavior (narcissistic).
"Paper tigers." Wonderful way of putting it i to perspective ❤
I'm not afraid of the moment of death itself but of what may be waiting for me on the other side
Thank you Bishop Barron. Please that we all go to confession much more frequently. God bless you greatly 🙏.
Lord, I need you. Oh I need you. Every hour, I need you.
Grow up
❤ Excellent homily. / hey you, all Citizen Kain propagandists who denounce me, “ call me what instrument you will, you may even fret me , yet you cannot play upon me. “ // ( my soul attuned only to my Lord’s Breath. )
Enjoy everything about Bishop Barron a true blessing to all of us
Amen , God bless You abundantly 🕊🕊🕊❣️⛪️✝️
BE NOT AFRAID TO STAND UP AND SUPPORT BISHOP STRICKLAND, BISHOP BARRON!
We can respect different opinions but in the end we must follow our conscience. To go against our conscience is neither safe or right .
Bishop Strickland is a good and sincere man but he is not always correct and the same can be said about any Bishop.
Don't ever follow any person blindly as you will fall into a ditch and get so disappointed . Simply follow Christ alone who is the true Light
of the world and you will never walk in darkness and reach " The promised land " where God dwells eternally.
Thank you Bishop
Thank you very much father.
A very meaningful sermon for me. Thank you Bishop Barron.. A very meaningful sermon for me. Thank you Bishop Barron..
Prayers for Bishop Strickland of Tyler Texas.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Father. Greetings from Argentina
Interesting way to explain our relationship with God. To be afraid of God. That is why to this day I am still afraid of going to hell. That is what I was taught as a child.
I now only think about God’s love and grace. He forgives me and and doesn’t want me to fear Him.
Remember 1st Saturday devotion July 1. For Mary’s request at Fatima, to receive special graces 🙏
That was a good sermon. Thank you Bishop Barron.
Bishop B is kinda like the best songwriter who ever lived
