    The more I walk the streets of Los Angeles praying the Rosary the more enthusiastic I get about Mary untying the knots of those who see may pray and of those who live in those city blocks I walked through.
    Plus I can sense that the spiritual battle is becoming more personal since certain strange things has been happening.
    Let’s all help Our Mom’s Immaculate heart triumph by boldly going out in public and praying the Rosary.
    It will be an epic battle but a joyous one by all of a sudden seeing people praying the Rosary all across America and the world. Amen

    For me, I've always believed in the intercession of mother Mary since my childhood even though I was born and grew up in a non Christian family. The second time I asked for her intercession, God responded and I promised God not to doubt for life. This until I converted and baptized Catholic 15 years later. When I went to the Catholic Church, the very first thing happened, the priest gave me the Rosary. The comfort I felt was unbelievable, it was as if mother Mary was telling me I brought you here. I believe in Mother Mary's intercession by experience, even before I became Catholic and since my childhood. This experience by all means was a factor among others that led to my conversion. Since I was introduced to the Rosary, I've never broken the habit of praying.

    Although i normally like the homilies of Bishop Barron, this one was INCREDIBLE. Very few strike the balance of Mariology of making it relevant, plumbing the depths of Catholic Tradition but not making it so intellectual as to be more like an essay, or a bit too twee. Felt like the disiples on the road to Emmaus. So much burning of my heart as i learnt off this great man.

      Bishop Barron has alluded to the book by Brant Pitre “Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary” in the past and all these are explained in detail in that book. I used to be guilty that I cannot defend our making Mary the highest of creatures from my protestant friends but it is that book that really opened my eyes. Bishop Barron sums up it up brilliantly.

    Bishop Barron’s explanations about Mary’s place in Catholicism and the rosary etc were crucial to my awakening and conversion from my Bible-based fundamentalist faith (which I describe as primitive Catholicism, but weak in teachings on the Holy Spirit). I had emergency surgery to remove a 6 pound mass removed and am facing chemo, but don’t yet know the extent or prognosis or other details-all 10 days ago, and unexpected. I have been extremely thankful for the rosary and the divine chaplet and for my conversion and every mass I have attended, and for blessed clergymen like this one who have provided for my spiritual needs. I need Mary to be a mother to me now, and I’m so thankful that Bishop Barron made me understand I can rely on her to do so as an active form of worshipping Jesus Christ. Im thankful that I have worn the miraculous medallion for many months, and prayed novenas for two other cancer victims, and that I can pray now for the dying, the sick, the lonely, the lost, and those grieving. What a gift I have received, and how I wish to thank this man. Merry Christmas, father. Thank God for your capable and selfless service to promoting the gospel and the teachings of the church.

      “IF” you have not already, please consider going to Adoration of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, also known as “Holy Hour.” Time spent in our Lord’s Presence is priceless. Call your local Catholic parish and find out when they offer it. Some parishes offer 24/7 Adoration. Simply go, sit in Christ’s Presence. TAKE YOUR BIBLE! Read scripture, contemplate, pray. Tell Christ of your love of Him, and of your worries and doubts, even your fears. Then, be as patient with Christ as He has been with you. Grace will flow and when you receive the grace to know that HE IS THERE, you will be forever changed. Miracles occur in Christ’s Presence - of that I can personally attest.

    Hearing Bishop Barron describe Mary as a protector/soldier reminds me of a time back in my early 20’s. Back then, I was living in a cheap, windowless basement apartment in the PNW. One night I was awoken around 3 am by what I can only describe as a dark presence that felt like it was pressing down on my entire body while I was lying in bed. I was petrified and started praying. I could hardly move but eventually managed to lift my right arm and turn on a lamp next to my bed. The moment I did, I felt the presence lift off my body. Then I saw something incredible. On the wall in front of me was a shadow that I instantly recognized in my heart/mind as the silhouette of a pregnant Mary. As a Protestant, I had never given much thought about her so this was such a strange/delightful experience. Thanks so much for this beautiful message Bishop Barron. ❤

She is our heavenly mother, who brings us closer to our Lord. Go to her as you would go to your mother, for love, wisdom and guidance. One of Bishop Barron’s very best homilies. Thank you, Bishop.

    I’m not a superstitious person. But, just a week ago, for some reason I felt a presence I could not explain. I felt uneasy, I felt like I was being followed. something malevolent. I couldn’t explain it. Evil. So I searched my entire house, looked around outside and couldn’t find anything wrong, but I still felt that feeling of dread. Climbing into bed, I tried playing positive music, hymns or anything else to make me feel better. Nothing worked. Finally, I played Bishop Barron’s Joyful Mysteries Rosary. My wife, was not happy, she told me to turn it off. So I filled her in. She then got freaked out, but we waited for the rosary to finish. For about 10 minutes, I was still distracted as the rosary was played, but I forced myself to focus on every single word. Every. single. Word. And nothing else.
    Maybe five more minutes passed by and my wife just asked again to turn it off, I said “turn what off?” And realized I completely forgot what I was worried about. I can’t explain it. One of the weirdest things I have ever experienced. I asked my wife the next day, and she told me she woke up multiple times in the night and just prayed the “our father” and it seemed to help her. We’re not the most religious people but we’re both technically Catholic. When Bishop Barron spoke about unseen threats, this ringed so true. We would have gone to mass the next day but it was a Friday.

    A beautiful side-effect from me praying the rosary everyday, took the form in me wanting to learn how to pray it in other languages. I obviously know how to in English, but over this last year I learned how to pray the rosary in Spanish, Italian & French. German is next. I’ll be visiting Rome next year and plan on praying the rosary (everyday I’m there) with a different language every decade.

A person can talk about this stuff from a variety of positions. And it needs to be done. On the other hand, I consider, to myself, though there are many perspectives, there is only One Who can see what actually pertains. It is important to talk. It is also important to do, as Jesus Christ said. I love what Jesus said. His sayings involve doing, and personal participation. Jesus Christ truly is the good Shepherd. I love Him. He said, "Why do you call Me Lord, and do not do what I say?". And is it not all there, in the scriptures, Old Testament and New?

As a reconvert from agnosticism, I have been seeking Jesus through Mary and praying the Rosary almost nightly, and now I understand why her intercession is so beneficial and effective. She who was chosen to be born without the stain of original sin, who remained sinless throughout her life, who gave birth to our Lord and Savior, who fed and nourished Him during His most vulnerable stages, and who compelled Him to begin His ministry at Cana, is truly the new Eve and Ark of the Covenant! I understand through her intercession how she suffered for Him, how she knows Him better than all but the Father and the Holy Spirit, and her prayers are powerful and effective! She has led me and my family closer to Jesus! I will take your advice and carry my rosary always. ✝️🌹📿🌹
