I went to a Catholic mass today for the first time after denying for 5 years. I’ve been Protestant and after a deep study of the early church fathers I have decided to convert. I saw the Eucharist and felt unworthy to even look at Him so I left. Pray for me. I need to go to confession and start the RIC something. I was salivating at first before the weight of my sin fell on me. This is the real deal. God bless you all and may The One Tue God bless you with Eternal Life.
I am a Protestant and have been all my life since I was baptized in the Episcopalian Church. I watched and intently listened to Bishop Barron's entire sermon on Christ in the Eucharist. This was the first time I have ever fully understood this doctrine, and it has given me a lot to consider and pray about. Thank you, Bishop.
I once read a saint who said that if angels envy men in anything, it is the Eucharist, because they cannot eat the body or drink the blood of the Lord. When I say envy I don't mean something bad but rather that angels regret not having that privilege that only men have.
I'm converting to Catholic faith. Never been baptized. Now with a chance at a new path that I am proud to say I am going to be baptized in Catholic faith. Bishop Barron, your inspiration is beautiful and I love learning from you for me to stay focused on the righteous path.
For 30 years I wanted to become a Catholic. When this miracle happened for me by Msgr. Esseff it was done in a very humble way without anyone knowing it. I will never forget it. My heart swelled not with pride but with the love of God. I became God's cheerleader for one year after receiving for the first time. I believe and receive. Praise God. ❤️
Like one of your previous responder I had this urge of wanted to become a Catholic. It took 25 years to become a Catholic. It is my home. Thanks, Lord, for being so patient for me to enact your will
Glória a Deus, amigo! De que igreja tu está migrando? Estamos juntos. Eu e muitos outros no Brasil fizemos e estamos fazendo essa transição! Salve Roma eterna dos mártires 🇻🇦🇧🇷
Catholic dont follow the Lord's say to take allways the body and blood of the Lord they take what they call only body.orthodox take allways both as the Lord said
If already a Christian, one merely needs to confess any new sins they committed. No further graces by keeping the eucharist are needed. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness,” (1 John 1:9). Follow Man’s traditions or God’s Word.
I seem to spend my life clinging to the coat tails of holy and wise people. Thank you Bishop Barron for allowing me to hang on to you and your wonderful words.
Is it not amazing Minnie how all those scripture parts he asked us to picture early on , about bread , eating christs reserected body , you know when suddenly in less time even to think it all makes sense! Love and blessings
My belief in the Holy Eucharist is the reason why I never left my Catholic faith "Do this in memory of me" and "Today I shall see you in Paradise" . To me these are Jesus most holy words He gave to us here on earth. Deo Gratias.
Born into a Muslim family, rejected it as a young child, travelled the world and looked for answers . I was a seeker with an insatiable hunger for wisdom. I wanted the answers for why are we here? What is our purpose ? What happens when we die ? Who's god ? Why is there suffering and evil in this world ? For 10 years I was heavily involved in the new age movement practicing anything that falls under the term of ‘trendy spirituality’ from kundalini meditation and yoga, law of attraction, tarot cards, chakra and energy healing, astrology, manifesting with crystals and other pagan based rituals.. THANK YOU BISHOP I was baptised into the Catholic church at Easter and I owe it to you , your wisdom and beautiful sermons that helped me understand our lord and saviour jesus Christ . ❤
I came back to this video today. I just want to announce that was confirmed a Catholic this past May on Pentecost Sunday. I know I am where I belong now.
@@rajstewart8513 You may not have identified, the first comment is by "Bishop Barron Robert." That's not our Bishop. I was pointing out the fake Profile. Hope you can figure out.
I loved his unique and beautiful explanation to contemplate the mystery ❤️ So deep and moving for me. Never heard this in any homily until now. It gives new enlightenment forever.
I was away from the Church for 2 years and suddenly I had the desire to receive the Holy Communion, but I put off my conversion and I felt ill, I again desired to receive the Holy Communion, to be healed. So I went to confession and received Jesus, and Jesus gave life in me. Many walk away from Him, but He's always there, ready for us and forgiving without making us feel fearful. How ungrateful we are. Forgive us Lord, for our offenses.
That's beautiful. God's spirit lives in you in a mighty way. The healing WILL continue, and even flow OUT of you to others, your family and friends who are sick.
I was raised catholic and lost my way in my teenage years because I felt the church refused to challenge me intellectually. I’m 25 now and I have found god. I still believe the church has lost its way a bit but thanks to the good bishop and many others like him i have found my way again!
The Catholic Church is an Intellectual church. Read early church history. You can thank the Catholic Church for Universities and Colleges all over the World. I attended a Catholic University and I was definitely challenged Intellectualy. I discovered C.S. Lewis and Thomas Merton during my Freshman year. I am glad for my Catholic education. 😊
As someone who had fallen away from the church and recently came home, after a complete confession I was able to receive the Eucharist on Sunday and my soul lit up! Truly it is the body and blood, I was able in that moment to feel Jesus so completely.
I was 50 when it happened to me . Fell in love with jesus . I was christened catholic who never practiced. I believe he is present too. The body of christ. Yes completely. Praist god.
@@czgibson3086 it's rare for anyone who studies the human body not to believe in a higher power. I was in the business for 37 years. BTW, a natural recovery is not common.
As a Protestant Minister, this was the most powerful presentation of the meaning of the Eucharist I have ever heard. My celebration of the Sacrament will never be the same. God bless you, Bishop.
Brother in Christ, if you want to read more on biblical support (Old and New Testament) for the Eucharist from a bible scholar, read “The Lambs Supper” by Scott Hahn. God bless you.
If you mean by celebrating the Sacrament as a protestant minister "you can't", only an ordained priest can consecrate the Eucharist. If you belive, we welcome you home to the One. Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
Thank you for sharing the story of St. Thomas Aquinas crying during the Eucharist. There are times that I am moved to tears of joy and gratefulness for the work of our Lord Christ Jesus.
Thank you for the revelation of St Thomas AQUINAS..as I do feel overwhelmed with grieve With tears every time during the Consecration And Holy Communion at All the Masses I attend!!! I do believe with my heart and soul of His Presence!!!
For sure the people of God lack the knowledge about our catholic faith and teaching, bishop's , priest's catechist's and everyone continue catechisis.catechisis don't get tired
I finished my R.C.I.A classes and was hoping and excited to complete my sacraments right after this year’s Easter vigil but then this pandemic happened , and all RICA rituals were suspended; our parish has to wait till our Archdiocese allows them to be resumed and still iam waiting. In my heart I know God has plans for me and it’s His will for me to keep waiting till He says so and I will wait for as long as He needs me to. Every mass during communion I asked God to touch my sisters and brother’s hearts for them to realize what an HONOR and GIFT it is to partake with Christ in our most holy sacrament , the Eucharist, his blood and body is the most precious gift Christ has left us, pray for each other that we realize this in every mass we attend, 😌 🙏 . Pray for me to be strong and accept God’s will for me to trust Him that he has great plans for me and so I still must keep waiting , thanks.
I went through Rcia in 2018 I know first hand that a lot of people are Praying for you. And everyone else that got shorted. lol. But at least you’re Catholic now Welcome friend
As a convert to the precious Catholic Faith, St John 6 was my key. I cannot deny that at every Mass we receive the Body, Blood, soul & divinity of Jesus. When many left him Jesus didn’t say ‘Hey guys come back, you misunderstood me, I only meant it represents my body and blood!” No! Jesus said “This IS my body, this IS my blood” and “for my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink” and the key for me “Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you have NO life within you”. I am honoured and love being a member of the One, Holy, Catholic & Apostolic Church! Catholic by grace! Catholic by faith!
Amen brother. Exodus 12:8 is another text that solidify this teaching for me. God commanded the Israelite to eat the Passover lamb as they leave for the promised land, to me, this event points forward to Jesus the God-man, our Passover/Paschal lamb, who also insisted that we eat His flesh as we embark for our own exodus to our promised land, Rev 21. Like other teachings, the Catholic Church nails this key one also.
@Patrick Montgomery Are you deaf? Listen to the complete talk and be informed, instead of asking nonsensical questions. You and any good, honest person with sincere intentions to know are welcome. You with your scoffing attitude and your heresy are definitely unwelcome.
@Patrick Montgomery You do not know what you are talking about at all. You follow the gossip of evil men full of lies to blind you of the one true faith. If you really want to know truth go to churchfathers.org to learn truth. Otherwise keep your hate and gossip to yourself.
@Stephanie Hautala - I'll save you some time: The Bible is a fantasy-fiction book with talking trees, talking animals, zombies, dragons, mythical global flooding and a fuck-ton of immoral passages. For example, this is what the Bible teaches about slavery. See if you agree with any of it: Ephesians 6:5 “Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.” Leviticus 25: 44-46 “You may purchase male and female slaves from among the nations around you […] You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance.” Exodus 21:20 “If a man beats his male or female slave with a club and the slave dies as a result, the owner must be punished. If, however, he survives a day or two, no vengeance shall be taken for he (the slave) is his property” Exodus 21:2 “If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve for six years, but on the seventh shall go out as a free man without payment” Exodus 21:7 “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are” 1 Peter 2:18 “Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.”
@zenon your comments about slavery are out of context and your understanding isn’t correct. The slave yin the Bible is actually more an indentured servitude. Every 7th ie the year of Jubilee, they were freed. That’s how people paid debts or survived.
@@bobtosi9346 you're brainwashed hard if you think slavery isn't slavery. Fact is, the old testament's a piece of shit. The only context you need is that slavery was so common back then it was too hard for the immoral Bible authors to conceive a world without slavery. So instead they said ya, you can keep a male slave for 6 years, female slaves forever (because you forcibly impregnate them), and you're allowed to beat your slave. But you don't give a shit what the Bible says. You don't care that the Bible says to take babies and smash their heads on rocks (Psalms 137:9). You don't care the Bible says rape victims must marry the rapist: Deut. 22:28-29 “If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her. You're so brainwashed you don't realize the Bible is an immoral fantasy-fiction book with talking trees, talking animals, zombies, flood myths, dragons, witches, sorceresses, 950 yr old people, etc. TLDR: You're completely wrong and very brainwashed.
I didn't know as catholic we are closer to orthodox. As fr. Chris Alar on devine mercy videos explained, we are allowed to have eucharist in your churches
Thank you Bishop Barron! Yes, the Eucharist IS THE REAL, TRUE, SUBSTANTIAL PRESCENCE OF JESUS’ BODY AND BLOOD! As Catholics we should be shouting it from the rooftops! Thank you ! I’ll have to watch this video over and over so that I can remember and deepen my faith with the Holy Sprit’s help.
I have been Protestant my entire life. At this point in time I had the same earth shattering experience a few months ago when I read John chapter 6 and to my utter shock I realized that Jesus was asking us to literally eat his flesh and blood. At Passover Jesus did handle bread and wine but then equated that with his body and blood and asked us to do the same. I could be a Lutheran, maybe a Catholic or orthodox in the future as I start to believe in the Real Presence. But cosubstantiation, transubstantiation, the fact that the bread really looks, tastes, acts like bread makes this a really difficult belief to understand and stomach. This talk has done things in my mind and heart that I can’t even describe. Thanks again Bishop Barron for a great talk!
If I was still a Prostestant, after listening to the most Rev. Bishop Barron and reading John 6, I would become a Catholic again and again. Jesus help me to have a personal relationship with you and bless your son Bishop Barron.
Bishop Barron! This gave me chills! When my daughter partook in her first Holy Communion, I couldn’t hold back the tears. I was overcome by the spectacular Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ! How He feeds us, continuously, now, through your words and passion as well! Thank you! Thank you! He breaks bread and in the brokenness, gives thanks. He asks us to do the same, on so many levels and in every situation. Eucharisteo!
Praise be to God! Your Excellency Bishop Baron I'm very happy to have joined your channel. I had a nosebleeding problem that I realized when I was at tender age of 5 as I went to school grade 1 in 1979. I would go to church and kept attracted to the Eucharist celebrated by the Mill Hill Missionaries who evangelized our Diocese in Kenya among the pastoralist community (Maasai). It was not untill I joined seminary and in the year before my Deaconate Ordination I talked to Jesus in the Eucharist asking Him that if He calls me to serve on the Altar as His unworthy servant He may heal me and Never allow me to spill a drop of blood through nosebleeding if I ever celebrated Mass some day. This is because He Himself poured own Blood once and for all for our salvation and there was nobody to be saved by my nosebleeding! I GOT HEALED BY THE HOUR! Today I'm a Priest for 18 years and I received the Grace to pray 🙏 over such people that may have the same ailment that I had and many have healed completely. I celebrated mass daily during the pandemic in private with three servants at my place of appointment and we see Christ's Presence each day. There's NO GREATER MIRACLE above the EUCHARIST. HE IS CHRIST HIMSELF AMONG US, REAL, PRESENT, ALIVE AND FULL GLORY OF THE LIVING GOD! Some thieves broke into one of the Parishes in Kenya and took a cyborium with Eucharist! They threw the cuborium near a forest where cows went to graze every day. The cows early morning after seeing the Eucharist scattered just miraculously stopped and surrounded the place. Neighbours asked where their cows are going without someone leading them and it is a protestant christian who realized why the cows looked stranded and said kindly let's call the Catholics to come and collect This because they are the ones who always eat it! Certainly, a priest was called and found the cows looking shocked and he took the Eucharist untrodden upon and the cows watched in amazement. The whole neighborhood got alerted about it and realized that no harm was done by the thieves to the Priests the previous night and when they were arrested they not only returned what they stole but also aknowledged that something very special struck them when they carried away the Cyborium from the tebernacle for they first thought it was a money safe! To cut the long story short, thank you Bishop Barron very much and we are together in this ministry!
Thank for making us know the fate of the stolen cyborium and its CONTENTS. It's a pity that our people, and particularly the media, ignored the great miracle that took place here when the cows recognised their Creator and were shocked at how badly He was treated. From both a spiritual and physical point of view, this was the greater story here. The media, the clergy and all who witnessed this miracle should have shouted to the whole so that all people hear of the of God in the holy Eucharest.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I'm sure you realise of the power of the Mass and the graces you will obtain for the US and the world if you are there daily. We need yr presence to draw down torrents of graces upon the world. God bless.
Thank you Bishop Barron. At the moment I started this video I was one of the 70%. I see how that kind of thought created a big problem for me as well as my family. That being, if all I am consuming at Mass is bread, then Mass is not that important. Mass becomes just a group of people coming together to hear a man talk and give them bread. Hopefully as Mass ends we feel better about ourselves and go about our week. I could just stay home and watch Mass on TV and at the appointed time eat a piece of bread. My wife and I are watching Mass daily on your UA-cam channel. At the end is a prayer because of the Corona virus, we cannot be there to receive the sacrament. I repeated the prayer but didn't give it much thought. Until now. Now more than ever I cannot wait to be free of this quarantine/lock down, so I can go to Confession and after attend Mass and receive the Sacrament of Communion. God bless you and keep you safe especially during this crisis.
May God bless you, Bishop Barron, thank you for your teaching, so beautifully and clearly. I never understood the difference between the Catholic Eucharist and Protestant communion...what you say makes great sense, I believe it to be so.
Lord, Jesus Christ, please continue to build Your Church in our understanding that receiving You in the Eucharist fills Your people with the joy to keep living our lives for Your Will and not our own. Amen.
Bishop Baron God is indeed using you mightily in His Vineyard. You're a great preacher, simplifying some Catholic Theology as regards the Holy Eucharist. The Lord will continue to empower you by His Holy Spirit through Christ our Lord Amen
Supper explanation..this will and should change the minds of skeptics and also non catholics..the HOLY SPIRIT WILL SEND THEM WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING. THANK YOU BISHOP
The Bishops class on the transubstantiation and the Eucharist is one of the best sermons I have ever heard. I never knew what the Eucharist really meant and iv been a practicing Catholic for 65 years. He does Jesus Christ and the Holy Church a great honor in my very limited intellectual capacity.
You see why many Catholics fall away? They do not fully understand the meaning of what they have! There is so much to know about our great Church. God bless you Ulysses, what a sweet magical name you have!
The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist and that the Mass is Calvary offered in an un-bloody manner. Growing up as a Jew, we celebrated Pesach, (Passover) each year, just as the Last Supper was a celebration of the Passover. In the Passover we are taught by the Rabbis from the times before Jesus, that by observing the Seder, (the order of the Passover ritual) we can no longer say, I am remembering what God did in that place for my forefathers, but we must say, I am remembering what God has done for me. That to participate in this act almost three thousand years ago by other people being saved out of Egypt, I too am a participant. God makes the Exodus present here for me, and those who are with me. The term which Jesus used in the Greek, often translated as in memory of is, Anmensis. It can mean to remember something from the past, but in the context of the Seder, and also in the Mass, it means to make a past event present now. So when I am at Mass (and I prefer the Byzantine or Traditional Latin Mass over the Ordinary Form, but as the Mass is the action of Christ through His priesthood, all Masses are of equal and infinite value, as they are the same sacrifice as Calvary) I know that God is allowing us to step out of time, and recline at the Seder which was the Last Supper, to stand or rather kneel at Calvary, and to witness the resurrected Jesus. The manner may differ, the date on my calendar may differ, but by God's grace, I am there, He brings it to me.
@@thomasfolio4357 Thank you so much for the background you provide. The connection of the Passover and the Mass makes so much sense with this information, and adds to the beauty of the whole picture God has given us over the thousands of years. We are all connected, and The Mass brings all of these many experiences to a pinnacle of celebration.
@@BJ-rg8hj Explain please. It seems counterproductive for the wolf to promote The True Presence and devotion to Our Lady since these are both formidable weapons...Knowledge of God is good, study through the works by the Saints are good ...why and for what purpose would the wolf encourage such things? Does the fruit of his works take you away from God, or bring you closer to Him? If the answer is the latter rather than the former, you've not only mistaken the sheep for a wolf, but made a grevious error that Holy Church is trying to keep us from God.
@@BJ-rg8hj You can be baptized by desire without ever knowing who or what Jesus Christ was; and you can still enter the kingdom of heaven if you were a good person and would have followed Jesus if you had known who he was. I am praying for you.
Thank you, Bishop Barron for this excellent teaching on the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. You have succinctly provided a thorough Catholic explanation that is immeasurably helpful. I am a Protestant minister but I have had an increasing awareness, over many years, that there was much more to the Eucharist than what my church believed (symbolic only). This and other factors have prompted me to seek to understand if God is calling me to the Catholic Church and this video has been very helpful.
That's wonderful! I also grew up protestant. We were church shopping for years and were looking for the right denomination. I prayed and asked God to lead us to the right church. We joined the Catholic Church this year. It was a difficult and humbling decision, since we didn't know any Catholics and all our friends and family were protestant or atheist. God bless!
@@littlemeadowpress God bless you, your family and all other loved ones for your humble discernment and final decision. There's joy in Heaven for your presence among us in His one, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
Your sermons are so beautiful and strengthening, we need more heightened awareness, our souls, we are born, live our lives, and God willing never die even though our bodies decay, are destined to be with our King. Amen. Thank you Bishop.
Thank you Bishop Barron! I feel blessed to have heard your words on the Body & Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ! In the Divine Mercy Chaplet, “Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.” God bless!!!
I actually prayed about this just hours before this was uploaded. Before i prayed i read the bible where Jesus says "my flesh is true food, my blood is true drink." I felt so happy reading those verses that i prayed deeply about it. I'm still trying to get confirmed catholic because I've just been raised spiritual but i was baptized Presbyterian. I've gone back and forth between churches like the methodist church and the episcopal church. But that whole time i was so attracted to the catholic church that i got my grandpa who was raised catholic to take me to the catholic church. You're probably thinking why my parents didn't take me. Well both my parents but mostly my dad have always been very anti catholic, my mom would become attracted to the church sometimes and that would make me happy but she always ended up dismissing it because she was raised catholic by my grandpa but my grandpa never knew much about the church, he made it seem so easy to go to hell and you have to go to confession every time you think about anything bad. These beliefs my grandpa taught her made her very anxious and she would constantly go to confession whenever she had the opportunity to until she ended up becoming depressed because of her anxiousness. She eventually left church in general and basically had a distant belief in God, like she thought he was there but maybe not. She still is afraid of that happening and i try to tell her about what the church truly believes but she will argue with me about it and i don't want to argue with her of course so i just drop it. Anyways this has become a bit of a rant so I'm gonna end it here. Basically my message was if you want an answer from God, ask him and he will answer.
Do not be afraid. Come home! I've been a catholic since birth, and I hv been "seduced" by Yahweh (Jeremiah 20) in the love and generosity of God in this sacrament. In my struggles and failures in living the Faith(a repentant and repenting sinner) and , after 57++years, I rejoice For this awesome gift! I wish for you what I wish for myself...that you struggle to be at His Banquet daily and in His Presence in Adoration often .God bless.
Sounds like your mother developed a serious case of anxiety-producing scruplosity. St. Ignatius of Loyola had a similar experience but eventually realized that the cause of his extreme anxiety could not be God, but an evil spirit. This discernment helped him to overcome his scrupulosity and find rest in God's infinite mercy. Consider researching the discernment of spirits: www.ignatianspirituality.com/making-good-decisions/discernment-of-spirits/
I needed to hear the phrase again, “You are what you eat”. I had no idea it came from an atheist philosopher. So appropriately applied to the spiritual realm. Do we feast on God’s word? You are what you eat. Do you consume wholesome media? You are what you eat. Do you engage in wholesome entertainment? You are what you eat. Words to act on. Thank you Bishop Barron for reminding us, and thank you for repeatedly pointing us to God and the Gospel.
St. Jude is the source for this saying. He was a cousin of the Lord. Because he resembled Jesus, people often remarked that he looked like Him. "You are what you eat" he famously responded.
Amen , thank you Bishop for showing us GOD word our creator is amazing we need JESUS forever we are nothing without you lord JESUS we need you Sweet JESUS of the Holy Euchist , please please come lord
I received Holy Communion when l wad 7 years old. Afterwards l began to become aware of Christ living in me. I could feel His Spirit looking through my eyes, my whole body blossomed. I felt like a New Creation. The Hope in me was divinely imparted, so was the Faith, the Joy and lasly the Spirit of WISDOM and understanding. The Eucharist is God's way of CREATING and providing an acceptable vessel unto Himself. The question is, WHY is this not commonly experienced in Christianity as a whole? There would be no question as to which the TRUE religion is!
The Eucharist is the reason why i am catholic, that piece of bread is the piece that fills the void in my soul, greetings from Berlin Germany, God Bless you wise man.
I listened to this entire presentation wanting to understand why it was important for Catholics to believe in the transubstantiation and Bishop Baron’s last comment finally made a break through for me. “We are what we eat”, in partaking of the Eucharist we are able to be alive in and with Jesus.
A beautiful and erudite Catholic talk on the reality of the Eucharist by Bishop Robert. May God Bless you in the great evangelisation of the Catholic Faith that you do.
As Jesus became God made man in the flesh and is omnipresent, it is certainly within His power to transcend both space and time as we understand it. There is no limits to His powers but only our limited understanding.
Boy. I find myself listening to this again and again ever since it was recorded. Both for content and presentation. God bless this man, and God be blessed for this man.
When I look at the Eucharist , I don’t BELIVE it’s literally Jesus . But I believe it’s a Holy Object that represent Jesus. It’s a symbol . I don’t BELIVE Mary is sinless … but I respect her as the Mother of God . I don’t BELIVE she’s assumed to heaven . But… I do BELIVE she was a virgin of Holy Ghost and a virgin after her birth of Christ . I don’t pray to Mary .. I respect her highly . In Jesus Name … The Son of God
@@mordecaiesther3591 then the Holy Bible is a symbol of The word of God not the Word of God ,baptism is a symbol of the Holy Spirit not the Holy Spirit. I will pray for u
After listen to Msgr. Barron teach about the Eucharist and then getting an email from our Diocese here on Long Island that we are excused from Mass for the next 3 weeks, it made me realize how lucky we are to live in a free country, not be persecuted for our Christian Faith and most important to have the privilege every Day to be able to receive the Body of Christ. VIVAT JESUS!!
So much needed talk. I hope that this will help all of us not only how we perceive and experience His Truly Presence, but also how we act, The reverence that is due to Body of Christ, and how after we receive take the moment to truly allow to be absorbed in to Him. It doesn’t need to be theatrical, but I hope it will be w an interior and fervent love and immense gratitude. Thank you Bishop Barron
Bishop Barron thank you for bringing the true Presence to the fore. I know so many Catholics who deny or have lost their faith in the true Presence of Jesus in the blessed Sacrament.
Thank you Bishop Baron for stoking the Devine Fire in me with your inspiring homilies and lectures. May God continue to inspire you establish your intellect.
I truly enjoy listening to you. I was raised Catholic, but my Faith was tested. I still and will always believe in God, I just have difficulty in Jesus. I pray directly to God! I believe Jesus was the avatar of God. To me God and Jesus are one! Thank you… I really like listening to you and bringing me back (as best as you can) to the church.
I am in tears of wonder and awe! I was a convert to Catholicism from 1961. I have always truly believed in the REAL Presence. I just believed what I was told (like a little child). I even SAW BLOOD in the Chalice once, many years ago when the Chalice began to be offered to the faithful! I KNOW we are becoming "Christified".. (or as I called it back then :" we become Christed souls". This is teaching at its BEST and surely CHRIST spoke those words that you Bishop Barron have spoken to US because they are "transforming words" spoke by CHRIST in you!. I pray that ALL who have listened, have truly heard in their deepest essence and become "transformed" in this TRUTH. When coronavirus lock-in hit I made the decision to study, pray, read, meditate in silence and stillness, and so come closer to God in Christ Jesus. I recall the WORD when Jesus tells us today: "When the Bridegroom is taken from them, THEN they will FAST!" And I see this time as a huge opportunity to grow in CHRIST until HE becomes our very essence of our souls.. because we are learning to LONG for HIM in the REAL PRESENCE, and know how much we have missed Him in days gone by. "Per Favore Padre".. God Bless and thank you Bishop Barron. Denise
The wait shall soon be over then we can embrace the Lord at the Eucharist.Meanwhile you can still receive Him Spiritually daily on the Online Masses! remain Blessed!
Have started seeing your daily mass during this pandemic and love your homilies. This talk, Gave me a better understanding of the Eucharist. I have always believed the churches teaching but this clarified it more so. May God continue to give you the wisdom and knowledge to continue guiding us to all the Catholic truths.
Thank you So Much Bishop Barron!!! That was wonderful! I’m not received into the Church yet. I’m on my journey. You help me so much. I appreciate you and the way you explain the teachings, more than you know.
@@deusvult2302 Which Church? The only Church founded by Jesus, to whom He said: Matthew 16:18 18. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build MY CHURCH, and the gates of the netherworld SHALL NOT prevail against it. As you can see, "MY CHURCH" = ONE. Therefore, if you are part of the protestant invention, you are not doing the will of God You can also see, "the gates of the netherworld SHALL NOT prevail against it." If you say otherwise you are sinning against the Holy Spirit who inspired the writer to affirm: "the gates of the netherworld SHALL NOT prevail against it." You must decide; God or your human way.
"Go out to all the world and tell the Good News " Your Grace Bishop Robert Baron this is what you doing following the footsteps of Jesus preaching and teaching changing people's lives bringing hope joy peace good health strength to overcome 🙏 our burdens because in receiving Jesus in the Eucharist Jesus is in our inner being and he is working true us 🙏 we are his instruments .

After many years of living a life of debauchery, by God's grace, I came to my "senses" and asked the Lord for His forgiveness and returned to Him and His Church. Receiving Him in the Eucharist again has been the most beautiful experience I have ever had and every time I receive The Blessed Sacrament my soul is moved with thankfulness and comfort. I pray for all our brothers and sisters whom the enemy is confusing about our Lord's Real Presence, that may one day come to their "senses" as well. GOD'S GRACE AND PEACE BE WITH US ALWAYS. ✝️
I don't think the main problem here is that the Catholic Church has been Protestantized, that is, influenced by Protestant teachings on the Eucharist. I think the main problem is that many Catholics either don't know Catholic doctrine, or know it but don't believe it (e.g., due to the influence of secularism and scientism).
@Sterling Crowne I thought I already explain what a Rite of worship is in the Catholic Church. There are many Rites of worship in the Catholic church and they all are under the authority of the Pope in Rome. When I call myself Catholic I include every Catholic under that Authority. You're welcome in advance for schooling you on your ignorance
@Sterling Crowne by the way Sterling I'm not a Roman I'm an American. I don't know if too many Catholics that go on a Protestant Channel I do find a lot of Protestants as yourself on a Catholic Channel go figure that
@Sterling Crowne I am a Roman Catholic. That is the Rite of worship I go to. Again you seem to be dense. There are many Rites of worship in the Catholic Church all under the authority of the Pope. The Syrian Rite of worship does not call themselves Roman Catholic they're called Syrian Catholics and still abide by the authority of the Pope who holds the chair of Peter. Where in the Bible does Jesus say one man should not be the head of the church? I seem to forget that scripture maybe you can help me out
Dear Bishop Barron, you probably will never read this comment but I am driven just the same to touch your heart with the loftiest expression of thanksgiving: thanksgiving to God for the extraordinary gift he has so generously given you to be able to communicate, with limpidity and so prolifically, the truths of our Faith; thanksgiving also to you for the YES to lay down your life as a priest, following the example of the apostles, as a perfect sacrifice. I thank you and I pray for you. Margaret (Malta)
Beautiful talk on the Eucharist. I knew the Holy Spirit was speaking through Bishop Barron as he spoke of the Word being transformative. So beautiful. I also thought that the most holy Eucharist cannot be both bread and wine and the Lord co-existing as Luther believed since there would be a double bind situation. If Jesus is truly present, as we know is the case, then we must worship. But, if the bread and wine remain after consecration, we cannot worship. It would be idolatry. We may only worship the true body and blood of Our Lord. Furthermore, St. Paul says in 1 Cor 11 vs 29; “ He who eats and drinks, without recognizing the body, eats and drinks a judgment on himself.”
Thank you Bishop. I always learn so much by listening to you. You give a much deeper understanding of these Biblical passages, helping us to grow deeper in faith. I love how you draw so much out of this than I would have considered.
Praise the Lord! Thank you, Bishop Barron. So many souls without the Holy Eucharist - I will no longer be one of them...God Bless you. Thank you... Trisha Weber.
@Sterling Crowne OK then by your lights Jesus did NOTHING as well, since he constantly used PHYSICAL things to make his point - spit, mud, water turned into wine, salt, his own body, ....
I’m Catholic from the Philppines. I had my secondary schooling in Catholic convent school. I know that the Holy Eucharist is a sacrament but I don’t remember that we were told of the real presence of Jesus in the sacrament. I’m a natural reader but it’s only last year that I csme across videos and some short posts on Soc-Med about it . But this video is such a welcome catechism on the subject. His explanation, while theological and Biblical is conveyed to me in duch a compellingly convincing manner especially the last part on How Jesus and his ordained priests of the Catholic Church by apostolic succession transforms the bread & winne to his body & blood by his Word. “In d beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the word was God”. It’s Jesus Divine Word that has a creative, transformative power that makes transubstantiation possible. Thank you Bishop Barron. Will share it but cannot found the copy but will share this definitely. link
I was at the conference! I blew me up!!! TRUE, BEAUTIFUL, BREATH TAKING, REAL! That was this talk of Bishop Robert Barron. Thank you for your beautiful presentation and for telling the world what a beautiful and incredible gift we have in the Eucharist.
May you be at the table more frequently as at the font of life...exercising yr spiritual role as Priest, Prophet and King for the sake of the Body, the Church. We need you there to obtain from the fountain, graces for the whole world. If you haven't already, plse consider making it for more than once a week as a challenge of yr love for so humble a God. We all need to step up. I humbly urge you. God bless.🤗🤗
I have been living my faith more intensely since I started watching and listening to you through your different channels, readying your books and the ones recommended by you, and even became a member of your ministry. I have discovered my need to communicate with the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and at church the entire mass for me is a preparation to receive the consecrated Host. Now the most important moment is to have the body of Jesus Crist and when it happens, uncontrolable tears of sorrow and joy take over me and after a great peace. My mind, heart and soul is filled with his present. I am renewed to face one more day our disfunsional world. The Eucacharist is the body of Crist in Real Present, Transformative, my Spiritual Food in comunion with Him. Thank you Bishop Barron!
God bless you, Bishop Barron. God is wonderfully teaching via your wonderful manner of instructing us. I was appalled at these statistics - 72%!!! I don’t see how Catholics can disbelieve this. It’s the most important element of Catholicism. I long for the Eucharist; we’re spiritually dead without Jesus’ Real Presence in the Eucharist. Mother Mary, pray for us.
That was amazing! So beautiful and concise. I am sitting in the playroom while my grandchildren are playing; what a lovely way to spend an hour on the first Friday of Lent.
YES BY THE POWER OF THE WORD INDEED!!! GOD CREATED THE WORLD AND ALL LIVING THINGS THROUGH HIS SPEECH...WORD... THE BIBLE IS THE WORD JESUS IS THE WORD MADE FLESH!!!
I went to a Catholic mass today for the first time after denying for 5 years. I’ve been Protestant and after a deep study of the early church fathers I have decided to convert. I saw the Eucharist and felt unworthy to even look at Him so I left. Pray for me. I need to go to confession and start the RIC something. I was salivating at first before the weight of my sin fell on me. This is the real deal. God bless you all and may The One Tue God bless you with Eternal Life.
God bless you!! I'm so excited that you're coming to the Catholic church!!
@@Catholiclady3 Amen, thank you very much.
@@CatholicDefender-bp7my Amen!! That’s a good idea. God bless you
🙏🙏🙏
Confession is priceless
I am a Protestant and have been all my life since I was baptized in the Episcopalian Church. I watched and intently listened to Bishop Barron's entire sermon on Christ in the Eucharist. This was the first time I have ever fully understood this doctrine, and it has given me a lot to consider and pray about. Thank you, Bishop.
Yes ! Me too I Really conectes me with God when I really listen 🎧 to his simple an beautiful teaching..
Reach out to a local priest/ RCIA group. Its probably not too late to start this year!
@Big Jim’s Strong I thought the Eucharist was the communion wafer?
Amen ! Read more and you will love all ! Try listen Fulton Sheen....:)
@iR maybe you can answer my question above
Receiving Jesus in the Eucharist is the best thing in my life.
I once read a saint who said that if angels envy men in anything, it is the Eucharist, because they cannot eat the body or drink the blood of the Lord.
When I say envy I don't mean something bad but rather that angels regret not having that privilege that only men have.
I have joined the Priesthood and will be ordained in 2 years. Very happy for the Holy Eucharist 🥰
Very happy for you. God is great. Catholic Church is beautiful :)

I too was baptised on 8th April and was blessed to be able to partake in the Eucharist.

Congratulations.
I'm converting to Catholic faith. Never been baptized. Now with a chance at a new path that I am proud to say I am going to be baptized in Catholic faith. Bishop Barron, your inspiration is beautiful and I love learning from you for me to stay focused on the righteous path.
For 30 years I wanted to become a Catholic. When this miracle happened for me by Msgr. Esseff it was done in a very humble way without anyone knowing it. I will never forget it. My heart swelled not with pride but with the love of God. I became God's cheerleader for one year after receiving for the first time. I believe and receive. Praise God. ❤️

I Lowe this this talk
Like one of your previous responder I had this urge of wanted to become a Catholic. It took 25 years to become a Catholic. It is my home. Thanks, Lord, for being so patient for me to enact your will
We will have a lot of converts to catholicism if they listen to BISHOP ROBERT BARRON. YES
Welcome to the true faith.
I am transitioning from the Protestant church to the Catholic church, so this is extremely helpful. Thank you so very much Bishop Barron!
Glória a Deus, amigo! De que igreja tu está migrando? Estamos juntos. Eu e muitos outros no Brasil fizemos e estamos fazendo essa transição! Salve Roma eterna dos mártires 🇻🇦🇧🇷
Catholic dont follow the Lord's say to take allways the body and blood of the Lord they take what they call only body.orthodox take allways both as the Lord said
Watch dr Pitre Brant videos as well
If already a Christian, one merely needs to confess any new sins they committed. No further graces by keeping the eucharist are needed. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness,” (1 John 1:9).
Follow Man’s traditions or God’s Word.
Following sola scriptura is a man made tradition
I seem to spend my life clinging to the coat tails of holy and wise people. Thank you Bishop Barron for allowing me to hang on to you and your wonderful words.
Well said
Love the most profound man in Catholism Bishop Barron. Thank you, Bishop, for serving God with all your heart. 🙏
Powerful! If only we could give this talk a million likes! Thank you, Bishop!
Is it not amazing Minnie how all those scripture parts he asked us to picture early on , about bread , eating christs reserected body , you know when suddenly in less time even to think it all makes sense! Love and blessings
No.
My belief in the Holy Eucharist is the reason why I never left my Catholic faith "Do this in memory of me" and "Today I shall see you in Paradise" . To me these are Jesus most holy words He gave to us here on earth. Deo Gratias.
Born into a Muslim family, rejected it as a young child, travelled the world and looked for answers . I was a seeker with an insatiable hunger for wisdom. I wanted the answers for why are we here? What is our purpose ? What happens when we die ? Who's god ? Why is there suffering and evil in this world ? For 10 years I was heavily involved in the new age movement practicing anything that falls under the term of ‘trendy spirituality’ from kundalini meditation and yoga, law of attraction, tarot cards, chakra and energy healing, astrology, manifesting with crystals and other pagan based rituals.. THANK YOU BISHOP I was baptised into the Catholic church at Easter and I owe it to you , your wisdom and beautiful sermons that helped me understand our lord and saviour jesus Christ . ❤
The Spirit of the Living God has filled Bishop Barron with his wisdom,I thank God for B.B.saying Yes toGod in serving Him.
I came back to this video today. I just want to announce that was confirmed a Catholic this past May on Pentecost Sunday. I know I am where I belong now.
This is a speech that should and will go down in Church history. Thank you, Bishop Barron.

I loved his unique and beautiful explanation to contemplate the mystery ❤️ So deep and moving for me. Never heard this in any homily until now. It gives new enlightenment forever.
I was away from the Church for 2 years and suddenly I had the desire to receive the Holy Communion, but I put off my conversion and I felt ill, I again desired to receive the Holy Communion, to be healed. So I went to confession and received Jesus, and Jesus gave life in me. Many walk away from Him, but He's always there, ready for us and forgiving without making us feel fearful. How ungrateful we are. Forgive us Lord, for our offenses.

@@duncescotus2342 - I so enjoyed reading your very kind response- it is so very true 🙏❣🙏
I am a recently confirmed Catholic and firmly believe that the body, blood, divinity and spirit is present in the Eucharist. 🙏✝️🛐🙏🏻
Why you dont participate allways in both the body and blood as the Lord said and the first Christians did.
Welcome home!
I was raised catholic and lost my way in my teenage years because I felt the church refused to challenge me intellectually. I’m 25 now and I have found god. I still believe the church has lost its way a bit but thanks to the good bishop and many others like him i have found my way again!
The Catholic Church is an Intellectual church. Read early church history. You can thank the Catholic Church for Universities and Colleges all over the World. I attended a Catholic University and I was definitely challenged Intellectualy. I discovered C.S. Lewis and Thomas Merton during my Freshman year. I am glad for my Catholic education. 😊
Congratulations! Be happy with Him .... and us too❤😅
As someone who had fallen away from the church and recently came home, after a complete confession I was able to receive the Eucharist on Sunday and my soul lit up! Truly it is the body and blood, I was able in that moment to feel Jesus so completely.
I was 50 when it happened to me . Fell in love with jesus . I was christened catholic who never practiced. I believe he is present too. The body of christ. Yes completely. Praist god.
bravo 👏🏻👏🏻 for ❤ our Lord who is real in the HOLY EUCHARIST
I never doubted this. In fact, I had a literal life saving Eucharistic miracle in 2012. My Doctors can't figure it out. But here I am alive and well.
Blessed be the Lord! Would you mind if I asked what your story is? :)
Wow
Any doctor will tell you that people often make natural recoveries with no simple explanation.
@@czgibson3086 it's rare for anyone who studies the human body not to believe in a higher power. I was in the business for 37 years. BTW, a natural recovery is not common.
@@lakotafire2804 Maybe that's true where you come from; it's certainly not true the world over.
As a Protestant Minister, this was the most powerful presentation of the meaning of the Eucharist I have ever heard. My celebration of the Sacrament will never be the same. God bless you, Bishop.
Brother in Christ, if you want to read more on biblical support (Old and New Testament) for the Eucharist from a bible scholar, read “The Lambs Supper” by Scott Hahn. God bless you.
If you mean by celebrating the Sacrament as a protestant minister "you can't", only an ordained priest can consecrate the Eucharist.
If you belive, we welcome you home to the One. Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
What are you "protestant" about??
Pls don't be misled.
Have you watched dr Pitre Brant videos on this?
The Holy Eucharist IS THE REAL BODY OF OUR LORD, JESUS CHRIST! Thank you, Bishop Barron for explaining this so clearly to all of us.
Thank you for sharing the story of St. Thomas Aquinas crying during the Eucharist. There are times that I am moved to tears of joy and gratefulness for the work of our Lord Christ Jesus.

THANKYOU, Dear, good Bishop Barron! THANKYOU!
I finished my R.C.I.A classes and was hoping and excited to complete my sacraments right after this year’s Easter vigil but then this pandemic happened , and all RICA rituals were suspended; our parish has to wait till our Archdiocese allows them to be resumed and still iam waiting. In my heart I know God has plans for me and it’s His will for me to keep waiting till He says so and I will wait for as long as He needs me to. Every mass during communion I asked God to touch my sisters and brother’s hearts for them to realize what an HONOR and GIFT it is to partake with Christ in our most holy sacrament , the Eucharist, his blood and body is the most precious gift Christ has left us, pray for each other that we realize this in every mass we attend, 😌 🙏 . Pray for me to be strong and accept God’s will for me to trust Him that he has great plans for me and so I still must keep waiting , thanks.
I waited many years and now im thankful and honored to be able to receive the body of christ. Be patient you will soon receive it.
I went through Rcia in 2018 I know first hand that a lot of people are Praying for you. And everyone else that got shorted. lol.
But at least you’re Catholic now
Welcome friend
You can come in if you find a priest who has time and can vouch for you that you know the faith. I hope you find a good priest!
You can wait. It is in you to achieve your goal. Bless you. You can do it!! Jesus is waiting patiently for you.
Did you get to complete your initiation
As a convert to the precious Catholic Faith, St John 6 was my key. I cannot deny that at every Mass we receive the Body, Blood, soul & divinity of Jesus.
When many left him Jesus didn’t say ‘Hey guys come back, you misunderstood me, I only meant it represents my body and blood!”
No! Jesus said “This IS my body, this IS my blood” and “for my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink” and the key for me “Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you have NO life within you”.
I am honoured and love being a member of the One, Holy, Catholic & Apostolic Church!
Catholic by grace! Catholic by faith!
Amen brother. Exodus 12:8 is another text that solidify this teaching for me. God commanded the Israelite to eat the Passover lamb as they leave for the promised land, to me, this event points forward to Jesus the God-man, our Passover/Paschal lamb, who also insisted that we eat His flesh as we embark for our own exodus to our promised land, Rev 21. Like other teachings, the Catholic Church nails this key one also.
Praise God! We are delighted to have you!
@Patrick Montgomery
Are you deaf?
Listen to the complete talk and be informed, instead of asking nonsensical questions.
You and any good, honest person with sincere intentions to know are welcome.
You with your scoffing attitude and your heresy are definitely unwelcome.
@Patrick Montgomery You do not know what you are talking about at all. You follow the gossip of evil men full of lies to blind you of the one true faith. If you really want to know truth go to churchfathers.org to learn truth. Otherwise keep your hate and gossip to yourself.
Patrick Montgomery when did the church figure out they were doing it wrong?
I was at this event. It was my first time attending. As a convert I was so excited to be there. This talk is fabulous.
How lucky!
Very happy to be a Chatolic all my life. Thank you Bishop Barron for a great presentation.
Bishop Barron I love the way you teach our faith. I'm a cradle Catholic and still have so much to learn. Thank you, so much!!!
Thank you for your support
@Stephanie Hautala - I'll save you some time: The Bible is a fantasy-fiction book with talking trees, talking animals, zombies, dragons, mythical global flooding and a fuck-ton of immoral passages. For example, this is what the Bible teaches about slavery. See if you agree with any of it:
Ephesians 6:5 “Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.”
Leviticus 25: 44-46 “You may purchase male and female slaves from among the nations around you […] You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance.”
Exodus 21:20 “If a man beats his male or female slave with a club and the slave dies as a result, the owner must be punished. If, however, he survives a day or two, no vengeance shall be taken for he (the slave) is his property”
Exodus 21:2 “If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve for six years, but on the seventh shall go out as a free man without payment”
Exodus 21:7 “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are”
1 Peter 2:18 “Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.”
@zenon your comments about slavery are out of context and your understanding isn’t correct. The slave yin the Bible is actually more an indentured servitude. Every 7th ie the year of Jubilee, they were freed. That’s how people paid debts or survived.
@@bobtosi9346 you're brainwashed hard if you think slavery isn't slavery. Fact is, the old testament's a piece of shit. The only context you need is that slavery was so common back then it was too hard for the immoral Bible authors to conceive a world without slavery. So instead they said ya, you can keep a male slave for 6 years, female slaves forever (because you forcibly impregnate them), and you're allowed to beat your slave. But you don't give a shit what the Bible says.
You don't care that the Bible says to take babies and smash their heads on rocks (Psalms 137:9).
You don't care the Bible says rape victims must marry the rapist: Deut. 22:28-29 “If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.
You're so brainwashed you don't realize the Bible is an immoral fantasy-fiction book with talking trees, talking animals, zombies, flood myths, dragons, witches, sorceresses, 950 yr old people, etc.
TLDR: You're completely wrong and very brainwashed.
@gijoesgirl91. Be very deserning to the preaching of Bishop Barron. Some are very progressive and liberal approach like Democrat and Woke.
I am Orthodox. I can honestly say that between minute 9 and minute 20 of this video is the best exegesis of of John 6 I have ever heard.
I didn't know as catholic we are closer to orthodox. As fr. Chris Alar on devine mercy videos explained, we are allowed to have eucharist in your churches
Thank you Bishop Barron! Yes, the Eucharist IS THE REAL, TRUE, SUBSTANTIAL PRESCENCE OF JESUS’ BODY AND BLOOD! As Catholics we should be shouting it from the rooftops! Thank you ! I’ll have to watch this video over and over so that I can remember and deepen my faith with the Holy Sprit’s help.

This history confirms my faith. Faith is such a great blessing. I can't imagine facing life without it.
Exactly
@@colinconley4879 Faith is uncertainty.
I have been Protestant my entire life. At this point in time I had the same earth shattering experience a few months ago when I read John chapter 6 and to my utter shock I realized that Jesus was asking us to literally eat his flesh and blood. At Passover Jesus did handle bread and wine but then equated that with his body and blood and asked us to do the same.
I could be a Lutheran, maybe a Catholic or orthodox in the future as I start to believe in the Real Presence. But cosubstantiation, transubstantiation, the fact that the bread really looks, tastes, acts like bread makes this a really difficult belief to understand and stomach.
This talk has done things in my mind and heart that I can’t even describe.
Thanks again Bishop Barron for a great talk!
Oh Sacrament Most Holy Oh Sacrament Divine All Praise and All Thanksgiving be Every Moment Thine ❤
If I was still a Prostestant, after listening to the most Rev. Bishop Barron and reading John 6, I would become a Catholic again and again. Jesus help me to have a personal relationship with you and bless your son Bishop Barron.
Bishop Barron! This gave me chills! When my daughter partook in her first Holy Communion, I couldn’t hold back the tears. I was overcome by the spectacular Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ! How He feeds us, continuously, now, through your words and passion as well! Thank you! Thank you! He breaks bread and in the brokenness, gives thanks. He asks us to do the same, on so many levels and in every situation. Eucharisteo!
Praise be to God! Your Excellency Bishop Baron I'm very happy to have joined your channel. I had a nosebleeding problem that I realized when I was at tender age of 5 as I went to school grade 1 in 1979. I would go to church and kept attracted to the Eucharist celebrated by the Mill Hill Missionaries who evangelized our Diocese in Kenya among the pastoralist community (Maasai). It was not untill I joined seminary and in the year before my Deaconate Ordination I talked to Jesus in the Eucharist asking Him that if He calls me to serve on the Altar as His unworthy servant He may heal me and Never allow me to spill a drop of blood through nosebleeding if I ever celebrated Mass some day. This is because He Himself poured own Blood once and for all for our salvation and there was nobody to be saved by my nosebleeding! I GOT HEALED BY THE HOUR! Today I'm a Priest for 18 years and I received the Grace to pray 🙏 over such people that may have the same ailment that I had and many have healed completely. I celebrated mass daily during the pandemic in private with three servants at my place of appointment and we see Christ's Presence each day. There's NO GREATER MIRACLE above the EUCHARIST. HE IS CHRIST HIMSELF AMONG US, REAL, PRESENT, ALIVE AND FULL GLORY OF THE LIVING GOD!
Some thieves broke into one of the Parishes in Kenya and took a cyborium with Eucharist! They threw the cuborium near a forest where cows went to graze every day. The cows early morning after seeing the Eucharist scattered just miraculously stopped and surrounded the place. Neighbours asked where their cows are going without someone leading them and it is a protestant christian who realized why the cows looked stranded and said kindly let's call the Catholics to come and collect This because they are the ones who always eat it! Certainly, a priest was called and found the cows looking shocked and he took the Eucharist untrodden upon and the cows watched in amazement. The whole neighborhood got alerted about it and realized that no harm was done by the thieves to the Priests the previous night and when they were arrested they not only returned what they stole but also aknowledged that something very special struck them when they carried away the Cyborium from the tebernacle for they first thought it was a money safe! To cut the long story short, thank you Bishop Barron very much and we are together in this ministry!
Thank for making us know the fate of the stolen cyborium and its CONTENTS. It's a pity that our people, and particularly the media, ignored the great miracle that took place here when the cows recognised their Creator and were shocked at how badly He was treated. From both a spiritual and physical point of view, this was the greater story here. The media, the clergy and all who witnessed this miracle should have shouted to the whole so that all people hear of the of God in the holy Eucharest.
The more I learn about the Eucharist, the more I am excited to fully convert to Catholicism.
I’m being drawn...and I’m grateful for this conviction and revelation
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I'm sure you realise of the power of the Mass and the graces you will obtain for the US and the world if you are there daily. We need yr presence to draw down torrents of graces upon the world. God bless.
I watched this video a year and a half ago and it changed my life. Came back to say thank you to Bishop Barron and Word on Fire.
Thank you Bishop Barron. At the moment I started this video I was one of the 70%. I see how that kind of thought created a big problem for me as well as my family. That being, if all I am consuming at Mass is bread, then Mass is not that important. Mass becomes just a group of people coming together to hear a man talk and give them bread. Hopefully as Mass ends we feel better about ourselves and go about our week. I could just stay home and watch Mass on TV and at the appointed time eat a piece of bread. My wife and I are watching Mass daily on your UA-cam channel. At the end is a prayer because of the Corona virus, we cannot be there to receive the sacrament. I repeated the prayer but didn't give it much thought. Until now. Now more than ever I cannot wait to be free of this quarantine/lock down, so I can go to Confession and after attend Mass and receive the Sacrament of Communion. God bless you and keep you safe especially during this crisis.
May God bless you, Bishop Barron, thank you for your teaching, so beautifully and clearly. I never understood the difference between the Catholic Eucharist and Protestant communion...what you say makes great sense, I believe it to be so.
Lord, Jesus Christ, please continue to build Your Church in our understanding that receiving You in the Eucharist fills Your people with the joy to keep living our lives for Your Will and not our own. Amen.
Thank you Bishop Barron. So helpful.
God’s words are powerful and real.
Jesus is real in the Eucharist.
Bishop Baron God is indeed using you mightily in His Vineyard. You're a great preacher, simplifying some Catholic Theology as regards the Holy Eucharist. The Lord will continue to empower you by His Holy Spirit through Christ our Lord Amen

The Bishops class on the transubstantiation and the Eucharist is one of the best sermons I have ever heard. I never knew what the Eucharist really meant and iv been a practicing Catholic for 65 years. He does Jesus Christ and the Holy Church a great honor in my very limited intellectual capacity.
I’m going to share this with many others So powerful & informative. Jesus is the food from heaven in the Eucharist
You see why many Catholics fall away? They do not fully understand the meaning of what they have! There is so much to know about our great Church. God bless you Ulysses, what a sweet magical name you have!
The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist and that the Mass is Calvary offered in an un-bloody manner. Growing up as a Jew, we celebrated Pesach, (Passover) each year, just as the Last Supper was a celebration of the Passover. In the Passover we are taught by the Rabbis from the times before Jesus, that by observing the Seder, (the order of the Passover ritual) we can no longer say, I am remembering what God did in that place for my forefathers, but we must say, I am remembering what God has done for me. That to participate in this act almost three thousand years ago by other people being saved out of Egypt, I too am a participant. God makes the Exodus present here for me, and those who are with me. The term which Jesus used in the Greek, often translated as in memory of is, Anmensis. It can mean to remember something from the past, but in the context of the Seder, and also in the Mass, it means to make a past event present now. So when I am at Mass (and I prefer the Byzantine or Traditional Latin Mass over the Ordinary Form, but as the Mass is the action of Christ through His priesthood, all Masses are of equal and infinite value, as they are the same sacrifice as Calvary) I know that God is allowing us to step out of time, and recline at the Seder which was the Last Supper, to stand or rather kneel at Calvary, and to witness the resurrected Jesus. The manner may differ, the date on my calendar may differ, but by God's grace, I am there, He brings it to me.
@@thomasfolio4357 Thank you so much for the background you provide. The connection of the Passover and the Mass makes so much sense with this information, and adds to the beauty of the whole picture God has given us over the thousands of years. We are all connected, and The Mass brings all of these many experiences to a pinnacle of celebration.
That's why you need an "actual revelation" from God as to what He has done for you.. Not Man's description of it
Bishop Barron was born to be an effective preacher. He may talk long, but never boring.
He is a Thomist! 😁🥰
@@Eowyn3Pride Nothing much wrong with that!
@@BJ-rg8hj Explain please. It seems counterproductive for the wolf to promote The True Presence and devotion to Our Lady since these are both formidable weapons...Knowledge of God is good, study through the works by the Saints are good ...why and for what purpose would the wolf encourage such things? Does the fruit of his works take you away from God, or bring you closer to Him? If the answer is the latter rather than the former, you've not only mistaken the sheep for a wolf, but made a grevious error that Holy Church is trying to keep us from God.
accitenor I agree with you!
@@BJ-rg8hj You can be baptized by desire without ever knowing who or what Jesus Christ was; and you can still enter the kingdom of heaven if you were a good person and would have followed Jesus if you had known who he was. I am praying for you.
Thank You Lord for coming to us in the Eucharist. May You always be loved and praised
Thank you, Bishop Barron for this excellent teaching on the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. You have succinctly provided a thorough Catholic explanation that is immeasurably helpful. I am a Protestant minister but I have had an increasing awareness, over many years, that there was much more to the Eucharist than what my church believed (symbolic only). This and other factors have prompted me to seek to understand if God is calling me to the Catholic Church and this video has been very helpful.
That's wonderful! I also grew up protestant. We were church shopping for years and were looking for the right denomination. I prayed and asked God to lead us to the right church. We joined the Catholic Church this year. It was a difficult and humbling decision, since we didn't know any Catholics and all our friends and family were protestant or atheist. God bless!
@@littlemeadowpress
God bless you, your family and all other loved ones for your humble discernment and final decision. There's joy in Heaven for your presence among us in His one, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
Your sermons are so beautiful and strengthening, we need more heightened awareness, our souls, we are born, live our lives, and God willing never die even though our bodies decay, are destined to be with our King. Amen. Thank you Bishop.
Thank you Bishop Barron!
I feel blessed to have heard your words on the Body & Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
In the Divine Mercy Chaplet, “Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.”
God bless!!!
I actually prayed about this just hours before this was uploaded. Before i prayed i read the bible where Jesus says "my flesh is true food, my blood is true drink." I felt so happy reading those verses that i prayed deeply about it. I'm still trying to get confirmed catholic because I've just been raised spiritual but i was baptized Presbyterian. I've gone back and forth between churches like the methodist church and the episcopal church. But that whole time i was so attracted to the catholic church that i got my grandpa who was raised catholic to take me to the catholic church. You're probably thinking why my parents didn't take me. Well both my parents but mostly my dad have always been very anti catholic, my mom would become attracted to the church sometimes and that would make me happy but she always ended up dismissing it because she was raised catholic by my grandpa but my grandpa never knew much about the church, he made it seem so easy to go to hell and you have to go to confession every time you think about anything bad. These beliefs my grandpa taught her made her very anxious and she would constantly go to confession whenever she had the opportunity to until she ended up becoming depressed because of her anxiousness. She eventually left church in general and basically had a distant belief in God, like she thought he was there but maybe not. She still is afraid of that happening and i try to tell her about what the church truly believes but she will argue with me about it and i don't want to argue with her of course so i just drop it. Anyways this has become a bit of a rant so I'm gonna end it here. Basically my message was if you want an answer from God, ask him and he will answer.
Do not be afraid. Come home! I've been a catholic since birth, and I hv been "seduced" by Yahweh (Jeremiah 20) in the love and generosity of God in this sacrament. In my struggles and failures in living the Faith(a repentant and repenting sinner) and , after 57++years, I rejoice For this awesome gift! I wish for you what I wish for myself...that you struggle to be at His Banquet daily and in His Presence in Adoration often .God bless.
Sounds like your mother developed a serious case of anxiety-producing scruplosity.
St. Ignatius of Loyola had a similar experience but eventually realized that the cause of his extreme anxiety could not be God, but an evil spirit. This discernment helped him to overcome his scrupulosity and find rest in God's infinite mercy.
Consider researching the discernment of spirits:

I needed to hear the phrase again, “You are what you eat”. I had no idea it came from an atheist philosopher. So appropriately applied to the spiritual realm. Do we feast on God’s word? You are what you eat. Do you consume wholesome media? You are what you eat. Do you engage in wholesome entertainment? You are what you eat. Words to act on. Thank you Bishop Barron for reminding us, and thank you for repeatedly pointing us to God and the Gospel.
St. Jude is the source for this saying. He was a cousin of the Lord. Because he resembled Jesus, people often remarked that he looked like Him. "You are what you eat" he famously responded.
christianity is not very wholesome
Amen , thank you Bishop for showing us GOD word our creator is amazing we need JESUS forever we are nothing without you lord JESUS we need you Sweet JESUS of the Holy Euchist , please please come lord
@@maryhartmann7658 How sweet is Jesus. You taste him lately?
@@ding9633 you say Christianity is not very wholesome, yet here you are making fun of Christians. Maybe it is you who is lost.
I received Holy Communion when l wad 7 years old. Afterwards l began to become aware of Christ living in me. I could feel His Spirit looking through my eyes, my whole body blossomed. I felt like a New Creation. The Hope in me was divinely imparted, so was the Faith, the Joy and lasly the Spirit of WISDOM and understanding. The Eucharist is God's way of CREATING and providing an acceptable vessel unto Himself.
The question is, WHY is this not commonly experienced in Christianity as a whole? There would be no question as to which the TRUE religion is!
The Eucharist is the reason why i am catholic, that piece of bread is the piece that fills the void in my soul, greetings from Berlin Germany, God Bless you wise man.
Same to me, each time I receive the holy Eucharist my body changes and I feel so much joy and so humbled yet very grateful to receive my Lord!
I listened to this entire presentation wanting to understand why it was important for Catholics to believe in the transubstantiation and Bishop Baron’s last comment finally made a break through for me. “We are what we eat”, in partaking of the Eucharist we are able to be alive in and with Jesus.
Amen
What part(s) of Jesus's body do you eat?
A beautiful and erudite Catholic talk on the reality of the Eucharist by Bishop Robert. May God Bless you in the great evangelisation of the Catholic Faith that you do.
Qq
As Jesus became God made man in the flesh and is omnipresent, it is certainly within His power to transcend both space and time as we understand it. There is no limits to His powers but only our limited understanding.
@@TheGarretdeas Yes God can do anything. But didn't'!. Read your bible as to what He "did and said". Don"t read more into that is not there!!
Boy. I find myself listening to this again and again ever since it was recorded. Both for content and presentation. God bless this man, and God be blessed for this man.
When I look at the Eucharist , I don’t BELIVE it’s literally Jesus . But I believe it’s a Holy Object that represent Jesus. It’s a symbol . I don’t BELIVE Mary is sinless … but I respect her as the Mother of God . I don’t BELIVE she’s assumed to heaven . But… I do BELIVE she was a virgin of Holy Ghost and a virgin after her birth of Christ . I don’t pray to Mary .. I respect her highly . In Jesus Name … The Son of God
@@mordecaiesther3591 then the Holy Bible is a symbol of The word of God not the Word of God ,baptism is a symbol of the Holy Spirit not the Holy Spirit. I will pray for u

Your Excellency, please pray for me to obey the will of God. And for courage to do so in obedience.
Thats what I Live For, is the next time I Get to Receive Him (JESUS)
After listen to Msgr. Barron teach about the Eucharist and then getting an email from our Diocese here on Long Island that we are excused from Mass for the next 3 weeks, it made me realize how lucky we are to live in a free country, not be persecuted for our Christian Faith and most important to have the privilege every Day to be able to receive the Body of Christ.
VIVAT JESUS!!
It is part of the Democratic Party's eventual agenda to wipe out organized religion in America. Hillary Clinton said as much in the 2016 campaign.
So much needed talk. I hope that this will help all of us not only how we perceive and experience His Truly Presence, but also how we act, The reverence that is due to Body of Christ, and how after we receive take the moment to truly allow to be absorbed in to Him. It doesn’t need to be theatrical, but I hope it will be w an interior and fervent love and immense gratitude. Thank you Bishop Barron
Thanks so much, we need to receive Jesus and absorb Him in our ❤️
Jesus did many miracles as he walked on earth. Many didn’t believe him
Today Jesus does the miracle of the Eucharist and many still don’t believe
Excellent point! 😊
The Crucifix looks like Jesus
But it’s not
The Eucharist don’t look like Jesus
But it is
Bishop Barron thank you for bringing the true Presence to the fore. I know so many Catholics who deny or have lost their faith in the true Presence of Jesus in the blessed Sacrament.
Thank you Bishop Barron for sharing your wisdom and encouragement and insight and knowledge in your services to God and all of us!
Absolutely, a wonderful explanation of the Eucharist by Bishop Barron. Believe and accept the Truth.
Amen
Thank you Bishop Baron for stoking the Devine Fire in me with your inspiring homilies and lectures. May God continue to inspire you establish your intellect.
Father Barron, you are an Awesome Preacher! You are In my prayers 👏👏👏💒🕯
Yes, I wish there were more preachers like him.
I truly enjoy listening to you. I was raised Catholic, but my Faith was tested. I still and will always believe in God, I just have difficulty in Jesus. I pray directly to God! I believe Jesus was the avatar of God. To me God and Jesus are one! Thank you… I really like listening to you and bringing me back (as best as you can) to the church.
I am in tears of wonder and awe! I was a convert to Catholicism from 1961. I have always truly believed in the REAL Presence. I just believed what I was told (like a little child). I even SAW BLOOD in the Chalice once, many years ago when the Chalice began to be offered to the faithful! I KNOW we are becoming "Christified".. (or as I called it back then :" we become Christed souls". This is teaching at its BEST and surely CHRIST spoke those words that you Bishop Barron have spoken to US because they are "transforming words" spoke by CHRIST in you!. I pray that ALL who have listened, have truly heard in their deepest essence and become "transformed" in this TRUTH. When coronavirus lock-in hit I made the decision to study, pray, read, meditate in silence and stillness, and so come closer to God in Christ Jesus. I recall the WORD when Jesus tells us today: "When the Bridegroom is taken from them, THEN they will FAST!" And I see this time as a huge opportunity to grow in CHRIST until HE becomes our very essence of our souls.. because we are learning to LONG for HIM in the REAL PRESENCE, and know how much we have missed Him in days gone by. "Per Favore Padre".. God Bless and thank you Bishop Barron. Denise
The wait shall soon be over then we can embrace the Lord at the Eucharist.Meanwhile you can still receive Him Spiritually daily on the Online Masses! remain Blessed!
Why would you believe in a myth?
Have started seeing your daily mass during this pandemic and love your homilies. This talk, Gave me a better understanding of the Eucharist. I have always believed the churches teaching but this clarified it more so. May God continue to give you the wisdom and knowledge to continue guiding us to all the Catholic truths.
nccooling x
Yes indeed ...there are some very good books on Eucharist( R Moloney S J /Eucharist 1995) may be worth a read if you can get it ..Amazon??
This is truly the core of our faith!thank you Bishop!
Thank you So Much Bishop Barron!!! That was wonderful! I’m not received into the Church yet. I’m on my journey. You help me so much. I appreciate you and the way you explain the teachings, more than you know.
In which church? Pope Francis's church is not the true catholic church
Keep going. So will I. God bless. 😊
Yes, he is a great teacher!
@@deusvult2302
Which Church?
The only Church founded by Jesus, to whom He said:
Matthew 16:18
18. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build MY CHURCH, and the gates of the netherworld SHALL NOT prevail against it.
As you can see, "MY CHURCH" = ONE.
Therefore, if you are part of the protestant invention, you are not doing the will of God
You can also see, "the gates of the netherworld SHALL NOT prevail against it."
If you say otherwise you are sinning against the Holy Spirit who inspired the writer to affirm: "the gates of the netherworld SHALL NOT prevail against it."
You must decide; God or your human way.

Your Grace Bishop Robert Baron this is what you doing following the footsteps of Jesus preaching and teaching changing people's lives bringing hope joy peace good health strength to overcome 🙏 our burdens because in receiving Jesus in the Eucharist Jesus is in our inner being and he is working true us 🙏 we are his instruments .
Jesus the Lord is alive in us, He lives in us and we live in him 🙏 if we are in the state of grace worthy to receive Jesus in the Eucharist.
"Spirit of the living God fall afresh on us, mould us and make us so that we may be your walking tabernacles in the world wherever we go"
My daughters tell people to go to church attend Mass and receive the Eucharist, many say " We pray 🙏 dont have to
Go to Church, my daughters tell them it is not the same if you don't
receive Jesus in communion because he is the treasure the joy and reliefs you of your burdens a grate feeling
Jesus spirit lives in you.
Thank you Bishop Barron for your very beautiful explanation of the actual Presence of Christ in the Eucharist and in you as Persona Christi, and in us as Christified. I am replete.
After many years of living a life of debauchery, by God's grace, I came to my "senses" and asked the Lord for His forgiveness and returned to Him and His Church. Receiving Him in the Eucharist again has been the most beautiful experience I have ever had and every time I receive The Blessed Sacrament my soul is moved with thankfulness and comfort. I pray for all our brothers and sisters whom the enemy is confusing about our Lord's Real Presence, that may one day come to their "senses" as well. GOD'S GRACE AND PEACE BE WITH US ALWAYS. ✝️
Your Excellency, thank you for addressing this issue. It is an important voice in de-protestantization of the Catholic Church.
I don't think the main problem here is that the Catholic Church has been Protestantized, that is, influenced by Protestant teachings on the Eucharist. I think the main problem is that many Catholics either don't know Catholic doctrine, or know it but don't believe it (e.g., due to the influence of secularism and scientism).
@Sterling Crowne why are you always on Catholic channels?
@Sterling Crowne I thought I already explain what a Rite of worship is in the Catholic Church. There are many Rites of worship in the Catholic church and they all are under the authority of the Pope in Rome. When I call myself Catholic I include every Catholic under that Authority. You're welcome in advance for schooling you on your ignorance
@Sterling Crowne by the way Sterling I'm not a Roman I'm an American. I don't know if too many Catholics that go on a Protestant Channel I do find a lot of Protestants as yourself on a Catholic Channel go figure that
@Sterling Crowne I am a Roman Catholic. That is the Rite of worship I go to. Again you seem to be dense. There are many Rites of worship in the Catholic Church all under the authority of the Pope. The Syrian Rite of worship does not call themselves Roman Catholic they're called Syrian Catholics and still abide by the authority of the Pope who holds the chair of Peter. Where in the Bible does Jesus say one man should not be the head of the church? I seem to forget that scripture maybe you can help me out
Dear Bishop Barron, you probably will never read this comment but I am driven just the same to touch your heart with the loftiest expression of thanksgiving: thanksgiving to God for the extraordinary gift he has so generously given you to be able to communicate, with limpidity and so prolifically, the truths of our Faith; thanksgiving also to you for the YES to lay down your life as a priest, following the example of the apostles, as a perfect sacrifice. I thank you and I pray for you.
Margaret (Malta)
How lovely. Thank you so much for that, Margaret.
Beautiful talk on the Eucharist. I knew the Holy Spirit was speaking through Bishop Barron as he spoke of the Word being transformative. So beautiful. I also thought that the most holy Eucharist cannot be both bread and wine and the Lord co-existing as Luther believed since there would be a double bind situation. If Jesus is truly present, as we know is the case, then we must worship. But, if the bread and wine remain after consecration, we cannot worship. It would be idolatry. We may only worship the true body and blood of Our Lord. Furthermore, St. Paul says in 1 Cor 11 vs 29; “ He who eats and drinks, without recognizing the body, eats and drinks a judgment on himself.”
You know, when I started this video, I was a non-believer in the reality of Christ in the Eucharist. Now, I am a believer. Thank you Father.
Thank you Bishop. I always learn so much by listening to you. You give a much deeper understanding of these Biblical passages, helping us to grow deeper in faith. I love how you draw so much out of this than I would have considered.
Praise the Lord! Thank you, Bishop Barron. So many souls without the Holy Eucharist - I will no longer be one of them...God Bless you. Thank you... Trisha Weber.
gThank you Bishop Barron !! God keep Bishop Barron safe !!❤
"Give us our daily Bread", "you are what you eat" Bless you Bishop Barron
@Sterling Crowne OK then by your lights Jesus did NOTHING as well, since he constantly used PHYSICAL things to make his point - spit, mud, water turned into wine, salt, his own body, ....
What part(s) of Jesus's body do you eat?
Amen..!!.. I love You Jesus. Thank you forever Bishop Barron...(from Indonesia)
I’m Catholic from the Philppines. I had my secondary schooling in Catholic convent school. I know that the Holy Eucharist is a sacrament but I don’t remember that we were told of the real presence of Jesus in the sacrament. I’m a natural reader but it’s only last year that I csme across videos and some short posts on Soc-Med about it . But this video is such a welcome catechism on the subject. His explanation, while theological and Biblical is conveyed to me in duch a compellingly convincing manner especially the last part
on How Jesus and his ordained priests of the Catholic Church by apostolic succession transforms the bread & winne to his body & blood by his Word. “In d beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the word was God”. It’s Jesus Divine Word that has a creative, transformative power that makes transubstantiation possible. Thank you Bishop Barron. Will share it but cannot found the copy but will share this definitely. link
So informative and inspirational! Thank you Bishop Barron! God bless you.
The real presence of Jesus is in your heart. He should be there all the time.
I was at the conference! I blew me up!!! TRUE, BEAUTIFUL, BREATH TAKING, REAL! That was this talk of Bishop Robert Barron. Thank you for your beautiful presentation and for telling the world what a beautiful and incredible gift we have in the Eucharist.

I have been living my faith more intensely since I started watching and listening to you through your different channels, readying your books and the ones recommended by you, and even became a member of your ministry. I have discovered my need to communicate with the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and at church the entire mass for me is a preparation to receive the consecrated Host. Now the most important moment is to have the body of Jesus Crist and when it happens, uncontrolable tears of sorrow and joy take over me and after a great peace. My mind, heart and soul is filled with his present. I am renewed to face one more day our disfunsional world. The Eucacharist is the body of Crist in Real Present, Transformative, my Spiritual Food in comunion with Him. Thank you Bishop Barron!
God bless you, Bishop Barron. God is wonderfully teaching via your wonderful manner of instructing us. I was appalled at these statistics - 72%!!! I don’t see how Catholics can disbelieve this. It’s the most important element of Catholicism. I long for the Eucharist; we’re spiritually dead without Jesus’ Real Presence in the Eucharist. Mother Mary, pray for us.
Thank you so much for explaining so clearly what is meant by the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist! !
I can listen to his EXCELLENCY, Bishop Barron & then never keeps track of time . He the vitamin for our FAITH .
