We definitely miss your daily Mass. We are 90 and 86 and are hesitant to return to our parish church due to the virus.. We were very moved by your Corpus Christi homily. We will pray for you. Lou and Carole Lauber
The soul is Your bride, the body Your bridal chamber, Your guests are the senses and the thoughts. And if a single body is a wedding feast for You, how great is Your banquet for the whole Church! -St. Ephrem the Syrian
I so miss our daily Mass with you but I understand!! You bring an understanding of the readings that no one else gets close. And makes them real to this time in our lives.
I would agree!! but Heart of the Nation on RUclips on corpus christi had a pretty great homily today so I want to give them some love and a shout out. Choir was fantastic
Janet, I miss it too. I found a beautiful church in my home County Cork, Ireland, The brothers in that church also explain the Gospels and readings with great love and sincerity. Here's the link to it. www.churchservices.tv/augustinians/archive/recordings/hzW8cGavbVS9CQd
Thank you for your amazing words this morning. I am 70 and I love the Lord's prayer and Communion. But today you connected them in such an amazing way. Making it through the desert has been very hard for me and God has been there by my side. I wish I could meet you and give you a hug. I feel so blessed this morning. Thanks be to God.
Oh, for me as well! I've tried explaining to several of my friends who are not Catholic but I don't think they understand the longing of my soul to receive the Eucharist.
Thank you, Bishop Barron. Your homily always inspire me and makes me think harder about my faith. Like others here, I miss the WOF daily mass. That’s actually my prayer, that one day it will be back. I appreciate every single second you spend on evangelizing, you are truly gifted!
Thank you so much Bishop Barron for such clear explanation of the presence of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist. ---How important it is to receive it daily. The only "Real Food" that can sustain us. How I long to receive my Lord as I used to!!
Gandhi said: “I would like to believe what you Catholics believe about Jesus in the Eucharist. But I am unable to do so, because I don’t think you Catholics really believe what you say you believe; because if I really believed that my Lord and my God were truly present in the tabernacle as you say He is, I would crawl on my belly to church every day to worship and adore Him.” Live what you believe so that we can help others believe in the real presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you Bishop Barron.
Thank you - he was such a wise man - He said "If it weren't for Christians, I would be a Christian myself" - account.kansascity.com/paywall/registration?resume=18756585
Father, I pray you always stay grounded in the truth. Living in Santa Barbara you must be constantly challenged to water down everything the Church stands for.
It's everywhere...not just California. The world's ideologies have found their way into the innocent minds of children and corrupted their hearts also, in the guise of acceptance and complacency. I have difficulty defending my faith with those called Catholic, who accept these ideologies as truth, and are family... Rosary and Chaplet...what else can a person do...
This was awesome, Bishop Barron! We need to pray for the gift of faith to be poured out on all who don't believe in the Real Presence. I invite everyone to check out the Virtual Eucharistic Conference occurring this weekend, accessible for free until 12 midnight ET tonight. There are excellent speakers, and many of them address this problem.
AMEN! Bishop Barron thank you for your wonderful teaching on this Incredible Gift from God. Like Jesus states in the Divine Mercy #616 - In the Host is your power, It will defend you.
If you have trouble believing that the Eucharist is the real body and blood of Jesus, pray for that belief...and just CHOOSE to believe. That's what helped me in my journey of faith. God bless.
There are also amazing Eucharistic miracles to study...Garabandal, Spain is one...He is a Mystery...but God wants to be wholly united to us...St. Catherine of Siena had a food aversion, she would only eat the Holy Eucharist.
I agree that the Eucaristic miracles help with belief. They begin in the 7th century..and we still have it in Lanciano, Italy! These miracles go right into the 21st century! Our God knows we are weak...and I believe He gives us these miracles to help strengthen us! ❤
I have believed in the "Real Presence" of Jesus in the Eucharist ever since I can remember and I am 72 years old. I rarely hear a Homily that strongly tells of this "Real Presence". I hope that all Priest will explain the "Real Presence" at least once each quarter on Sundays. This would make a big difference.
Totally agree with you Michael - I'm 66 an d I cannot bring my self to take the living body and blood of Jesus into my sinful hands at communion time. I was taught to revere the body and blood of Jesus present in the eucharist. This should be taught to all catholics on a regular basis.
Thank you and blessings to you Bishop Barron for this ‘food for thought’, which just as Mary did, I will contemplate upon this so it leaves this ‘truth’ upon my heart. ✝️🇨🇦
Thank you for your Sunday homilies @Bishop Robert Barron 🙏🏻. We are blessed to have such strong leader in Our Church during this chaotic time. Peace be with you always ✝️✝️✝️
Thankyou Bishop Barron, I believe that OUR JESUS IS REAL AND PRESENT IN THE HOLY EUCHARIST. I ALWAYS HAVE. PRAISE BE TO MY LORD JESUS I LOVE AND ADORE YOU MY JESUS.AMEN.
Bishop Barron you are an excellent teacher that brings the gospel to life in the 21st century. The only other priest who had this gift (in my 67 years of Catholic life was Father Pat Brennan, Pastor of Holy Family Church, Inverness, Il. (Deceased). I happened to find you during the Covid-19 crisis while searching for Sunday Mass on line. "Seek and you will find." I will miss celebrating Mass with you but happy to find your sermons on line! God bless you, stay safe and healthy. Marya Taylor
Father Barron, I thank you so much for your daily reflections, Word on Fire virtual Sunday Sermon, lectures, interviews, etc. as you explain fully and eloquently my Faith. God bless you as you are my living Saint - Doctor of the Catholic Church in the 20th - 21st century. I now enter the 4th quarter of a century.
Thank you Bishop Barron for continuing to share your homilies with us. For me the nourishment and insight you bring to us is like the Eucharist. You make the Words of Scripture food for our minds, body and Spirit. God bless you. Christus Vincit, Christus Regnat, Christus, Christus Imperat. Amen.
Thank you, Bishop Barron, for this very great explanation of the Feast of Corpus Christi -- I had never thought of the journey to the Promised Land as being our Eternal Reward. Glad you are bringing us your daily homilies - thank you so much.
Please, we still don’t have Mass. Please, Bishop Barron and Fr. Steve let us offer daily mass with you. Please share your fruits with us through your homilies and reverent Mass.
Sincere thanks Bishop Barron for highlighting so effectively the validity and efficacy of the Holy Eucharist for our lives here on earth, even more as our own security with regard to Life Eternal.
Again Bishop you give us the sparks for our spirit to embrace the word. How amazing is JESUS that as he knew what was ahead he poured out all that was needed in his physical absence. There is no doubt in my mind that the eucharist would not have survived if it was simply a gesture to his disciples - it was his last teaching, his gift as a human soul so that we may have his presence (hasn't someone who loved you left you something precious beford they died), a touchable essence, a marking of presence for within when we take him in.
Thank you Bishop Barron for continually calling us back to the true faith and teachings of our Lord and Saviour! May God's name be glorified Amen! And may we all - believers and non-believers - struggling come.to know and love him in the Holy Eucharist🙏
I can't believe 70%! - I pray for them for enlightenment. My parents have taught me this belief of the Holy Communion, the Corpus Christi, physically at Holy Mass, as far as I can remember at age 5 in 1950. As I make recollection at this time of writing, I reminisce the Latin Mass and the veil I wore.
Thank you, Bishop Barron. Since stay-home times make it so valuable to stay in the desert (even after Holy Week), and believe what we can gain from saving own lives and others physically, should also above all, almost instantly after awakening from PANIC, ANXIETY, FEAR, THEREFORE, FIND THE MATTER OF OBLIGATION, connect with God, and break away from too engrossed, EXCESSIVE and busy daily experiences of violence, unholiness, and confusion of minds, hearts, and souls. And while we could have neglected the duty to a true sustenance of the physical body, we could truly use the logical and scientific outcome of neglect of the physical body, breathed by God to give life as creatures. God by His POWER of LOVE, WISDOM, AND SOURCE OF ALL, presented Creation, in which realities, implications, and spiritual promise HAVE BEEN SO PROCESSED AS WE VISUALIZE IN OUR COMMUNION WITH GOD IN JESUS CHRIST, so that eventually, we will have realized that there will be so few who could deserve the eternal life in HEAVEN. -- From His design and plan, we knew of paradise and how it can be taken away when GOD, THE OWNER AND LOANER OF LIFE, sees that one doesn't deserve (Eve, including the accomplice' OR (Adam) the fallen from temptation to go against the Landlord's rules --SIN. SIN enslaves just as shown of Egypt to the Israelites. YET, God forgives SINS, punishes SINNERS, yet forgives and give chances, as patterns of life of the Israelites with God--PATTERNS OF LIFE UNTIL THE PRESENT TIME IT LOOKS LIKE. Israelites were gifted with experiences of talking to God thru Moses including the actual dropping of manna from heaven. MANY MORE SINS WERE COMMITTED with patterns of God's forgiveness and giving chances to patterns of kings and kingdom rulings and obligated subjects. SINS BROKE GOD'S DESIGN AND PLAN --AND sins continued to dominate lives, yet God's forgiveness also extended to chosen kings who eventually sinned like David and son Solomon. David, his deep grievance of sin, same way with Solomon's. WEALTH, towering wealth of all kinds were gifted to ancient people until it became causes of revolts and sinful dealings. JESUS CAME as God's gift, God Himself of His Holy Spirit, and PERSONALLY SHOWED WAYS HOW TO BECOME A CHILD OF GOD. Human weaknesses , wickedness and prevailing CARDINAL SINS by human nature, kills the Good and Holy One, due to excessive ENVY: THE GRAVEST SIN OF MEN. Jesus is now HOLY SPIRIT, AFTER HE RESURRECTED. HE IS NOT AROUND ANYMORE TO SHOW US THE RIGHT WAY OF LIFE TO BELONG TO GOD. BUT BEFORE HE DIED, HE LEFT THE WORLD SOMETHING TO ALWAYS REMIND THE WORLD OF HIS PRESENCE: ALWAYS GOING BACK TO HIS WORDS: I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIGHT/LIFE. Our human spirit is not very sustained and so easily lost of connecting ourselves to JESUS CHRIST'S PRESENCE. This is when we have to include in the FOUNDATION AND BUILDING OF CHURCH, THE HOLY CEREMONIAL WORSHIPPING, AND PERPETUAL COMMEMORATION OF THE LIFE, DEATH, AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST, OBEYING HIS WORDS IN CHURCH MASS: THIS IS MY BODY WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU; THIS IS MY B.LOOD ..... JESUS' PRESENCE IS IN THE EUCHARIST, THAT WE RECEIVE AT THE CONCLUSION OF EVERY MASS. THESE ARE VISUALIZED LIFE DESIGN AND PATTERNS THAT ARE LIVED IN THE JUDGMENT OF GOD'S LOVE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS. WE CANNOT HAVE A CHURCH, WITHOUT RECEIVING HIM IN THE EUCHARIST, NO MATTER HOW LIVELY, JOYOUS AND GLORIOUS OUR HYMNS WOULD SOUND. .... ON THE OTHER HAND, MAY WE KNOW THE ACTUAL PROTESTATIONS AGAINST GOD'S DESIGN AND PLAN AND CORRECT THEM. IF WE EVER LOVE GOD THE FATHER, WE HAVE TO LOVE AND LIVE ALONG WITH HIS DESIGN AND PLAN, INCLUDING VENERATING AND HONORING HIS CHOSEN PARTICIPANTS IN HIS DESIGN AND PLAN, SUCH AS THE CHOSEN VIRGIN MARY, JESUS CHRIST, AND JOSEPH---AS WE ABOVE ALL, RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST IN THE HOLY EUCHARIST.
Words cannot describe my experience of the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. I've been raised Catholic my whole life but only truly FELT the realness of Jesus shortly after attending a Life In The Spirit seminar five years ago. It was an intense period of purification and healing of my being. Through it all, one great revelation out of the many, is that the Eucharist is REAL. In moments of anxiety, He literally comforted me. In moments of loneliness, He was present. In moments of not feeling loved, he reminded me I am Loved. In those moments of weakness, the suffering that was released was melded with Love as if it were one and the same. The pain no longer hurt. So I share my story that if you read this, you may entrust your brokenness to Him because he wants to Love you. Peace and Love 🙏
A passionate plea to all Catholics living. Come on people hiw can it be that 70% do not believe that the Eucharisu is Jesus and Jesus is the Eicharist. If the overwhelming number of Catholics dont believe that simple but core truth of tge Churchs teaching. Then How can we convince the Non Catholics of this world God bless you Bishop Barron Aux Bishop of Santa Barbara for you speak eloquently gentlely and passionately in explaining the truth and teaching of Mother Church.
Can Catholics who don't believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist really claim to be Catholics? It is a basic cornerstone of our faith.
This explanation always stuck with me from Dr. Ted Sri, he said that after the Jews celebrated the passover and sacrificed the lamb, they actually ate the lamb, not some mere lamb cookies! In the same way, St. Paul teaches that Christ is our Paschal Lamb and we should keep the feast. Celebrate the mass and eat the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist.
So you are suggesting that the Church should have dinner together, and celebrate the Eucharist as part of a meal? That's not a very practical idea, but in lots of Churches, they have a social with snacks, or a picnic on the grounds after services are over.
@@lukasmakarios4998 please do take a listen to some of Dr Sri's podcasts. He is one of the best Catholic lecturers in theology in the English language. His blog is called "All things Catholic". I am sure then you would understand and not misinterpret Erik Serrano's comment. This is not about snacks or socialising after Mass but about the typology of the Passover.
@@topseykretts7608 0:54 The problem wasn't that much Vatican II but rather the poor (almost inexistant) guidance lay people would get afterward, that would really help them participate better in the life of the Church and in Mass. Genuine question : what is "more protestant" in NO ? I live in a place where we only have this one.
It seems to me that the loss of faith in the real presence is directly related to the modern mass that surrounds it, stripped not only of the churches sacrificial language, but stripped of the churches long retained external piety and precise reverence around the mass which speaks to the reality of the real presence. Bishop, your catechesis is marvelous. without the timeless mass, people have a hard time seeing the truth of the doctrine you are sharing with us here.
Thank you! When I pray the Our Father, I imagine receiving the Holy Eucharist at "Give us this day, our daily bread..." and recieving absolution in Confession at "forgive us our trespasses ", and try to think of someone I don't like or wronged me at, "as we forgive those who trespass against us..." 😁❤ The Theology of the Holy Eucharist is so deep and enriching, yet our understanding is so infinitely finite... St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us!
Eucharist is the Source and Summit of the Christian Life. Israelites were given Manna for their sojourning from slavery to freedom. John 6 shows us how we need the Body and Blood of Jesus to help us out of our captivity of sin. Heaven is our destination. Thank you Bishop
Thank you for your great messages! You really touch our hearts! I believe ,without any doubt that Jesus is present in the Eucharist! I have a dilemma. I have Celiac disease and cannot receive the bread of Jesus. I know the Catholic Church provides a low gluten host, but any gluten is bad for me so I cannot receive. I have been able to receive the precious blood, until recently. I know that will be a long time if it ever comes back. I am just going to say this is very difficult. I am frustrated, sad and heartbroken. Thank you for listening.
All glory be to God! And thank you Bishop for your evangelical mission to deliver the glory of God. Even surrounded by paradise, we’re all walking through the desert. I am my own captor of my own chains. Thank you!
A great bibilical exegesis here by Bishop Robert on the true nature of the Eucharist. His ministry is truly a Godsend and long may he be Blessed in his work.
I accidentally got into a discussion with exclusively Catholic friends on my facebook page. Every single one of them said protesting was more important than going to Mass (Jesus would want us to do it) and they were fine with the different standards and restrictions brought on by COVID 19. My heart is broken, truly broken.
We should truly pray formally.our friends. Some.of us had those low.points in our lives where we did not spend much time.with the Lord. But persistent prayers work. Let us all add our voice together in prayers. Do not be heartbroken but in all things give thanks to God for your friends
People do not recognize their captivity in sin. When you are freed you see it in hindsight; you see that others are stuck-unknowingly captive, but they do not want to hear that they are captive, it feels like judgement. So how do they cross from blind captivity to freedom? If they do not know they are captive, and they do not desire freedom, what do we do? What about our family members? Why do they receive Eucharist without caring? Bishop Baron says “ take it, take it” but they will not recognize Jesus! I think humility is they key virtue, it is not a popular virtue in our culture.
I've being a Catholic since I was born and NEVER after I prepared for first communion was I told or heard a sermon by any bishop, priest, or missionary about the body of Christ and its presence in the bread. These are principles that clergy has to talk about often for people to understand the mysteries of our faith, not just assume that people know, or "feel" it
Bishop Barron, can you do a video on the importance of Baptizing your children. I have a friend who was Baptized and raised Catholic, but has left the church and has been bouncing from non denominational churches. She has a son 9 year old who she has not baptized. I would like a video so I can show it to her on the importance of Baptism. Thank you Bishop Barron for all you do. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😊
So sad to miss the Eucharist on this feast, churches are closed because of Coronavirus. I ask that God may draw my 2 sons and my 5 grandchildren to know Christ. Lord, thank you for your sacrifice on the cross thank you for the Eucharist.
Our times now are full of trials and tribulations...with me not being able to receive Holy Communion is so challenging. Praying to God for His mighty Hand for healing from this pandemic and chaos so we can go back to church as a community of God.
Very good! It’s so hard to believe that 70% don’t believe. The Lord has blessed me to believe Thank you, Jesus. Please help catholics who don’t believe to believe.
... and that my friends is why he is a Bishop. I am a cradle Catholic and went through 8 years of Catholic school in the 70s. I didn't know about the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist until I was 45 years old and after my divorce which is quite painful for me now that I know.

Thank you Bishop Barron.
Fantastic Bishop Barron your sermons are the source and summit of our Christian understanding of the Eucharist.
We need the Body of Christ!
We definitely miss your daily Mass. We are 90 and 86 and are hesitant to return to our parish church due to the virus.. We were very moved by your Corpus Christi homily. We will pray for you. Lou and Carole Lauber
I guess I'm kinda off topic but do anybody know a good place to watch new series online ?
@Darius Tristen flixportal xD
@Gary Ira Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I really appreciate it !!
@Darius Tristen glad I could help :D
Thank you Father Barron. I have always believed our lord is in the Eucharist. My mother had communion everyday, a wonderful woman.
Thank you
The soul is Your bride, the body Your bridal chamber,
Your guests are the senses and the thoughts.
And if a single body is a wedding feast for You,
how great is Your banquet for the whole Church!
-St. Ephrem the Syrian
Give us this day our super substantial bread. May you be fed during the periods of time spent in the desert, Meg. 🙏🫡. Dr. Woodruff/George
I so miss our daily Mass with you but I understand!! You bring an understanding of the readings that no one else gets close. And makes them real to this time in our lives.
I know, me too!
I would agree!! but Heart of the Nation on RUclips on corpus christi had a pretty great homily today so I want to give them some love and a shout out. Choir was fantastic
Janet, I miss it too. I found a beautiful church in my home County Cork, Ireland, The brothers in that church also explain the Gospels and readings with great love and sincerity. Here's the link to it.

Thank you, Bishop Barron. Your homilies carried my parents and me through the shutdown, and we definitely miss it on a daily basis.
Thank you for your amazing words this morning. I am 70 and I love the Lord's prayer and Communion. But today you connected them in such an amazing way. Making it through the desert has been very hard for me and God has been there by my side. I wish I could meet you and give you a hug. I feel so blessed this morning. Thanks be to God.
What has been my biggest difficulty during this quarantine, is not being able to receive Eucharist. My love for Eucharist is what sustains me.
Oh, for me as well! I've tried explaining to several of my friends who are not Catholic but I don't think they understand the longing of my soul to receive the Eucharist.
Good teacher
Thank you, Bishop Barron. Your homily always inspire me and makes me think harder about my faith. Like others here, I miss the WOF daily mass. That’s actually my prayer, that one day it will be back. I appreciate every single second you spend on evangelizing, you are truly gifted!

Thank you Bishop Barron.
How true this statement of Mahatma Gandhi is ! Thank you Jesus for your living super-substantial bread .
Thank you for this comment, moved me much !
Thank you - he was such a wise man - He said "If it weren't for Christians, I would be a Christian myself" - account.kansascity.com/paywall/registration?resume=18756585
That’s an eye opener.
Where did you get that quote from Ghandi?
Howdy Diane !, absolute TRUE he said that is why we need to know history and is also why we lost India ! .
Peace and Good ! 😃
Thank You Bishop Barron for these Sunday Sermons. ❤🙏❤
Sweet Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. We adore you!
I hope God lets me live long enough to see Bishop Barron become Cardinal Baron. God bless you and keep you safe.
Father, I pray you always stay grounded in the truth. Living in Santa Barbara you must be constantly challenged to water down everything the Church stands for.

I love the Old Testament analogy Bishop Barron uses here about the 40 years in the desert and our own earthly pilgrimage.
Beautiful makes total sense thank you so much

Am so saddened that the masses of BP Barron ended my family loved hearing mass when he celebrated.
You are absolutely right his Sund Mass at least must be on national tv ! .
Thank you, Bishop Barron, for this very great explanation of the Feast of Corpus Christi -- I had never thought of the journey to the Promised Land as being our Eternal Reward. Glad you are bringing us your daily homilies - thank you so much.
I miss the Eucharist. I do. I believe. I need food for the journey.
Thank you God bless you and all watching

Human weaknesses , wickedness and prevailing CARDINAL SINS by human nature, kills the Good and Holy One, due to excessive ENVY: THE GRAVEST SIN OF MEN. Jesus is now HOLY SPIRIT, AFTER HE RESURRECTED. HE IS NOT AROUND ANYMORE TO SHOW US THE RIGHT WAY OF LIFE TO BELONG TO GOD. BUT BEFORE HE DIED, HE LEFT THE WORLD SOMETHING TO ALWAYS REMIND THE WORLD OF HIS PRESENCE: ALWAYS GOING BACK TO HIS WORDS: I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIGHT/LIFE.
Our human spirit is not very sustained and so easily lost of connecting ourselves to JESUS CHRIST'S PRESENCE. This is when we have to include in the FOUNDATION AND BUILDING OF CHURCH, THE HOLY CEREMONIAL WORSHIPPING, AND PERPETUAL COMMEMORATION OF THE LIFE, DEATH, AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST, OBEYING HIS WORDS IN CHURCH MASS: THIS IS MY BODY WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU; THIS IS MY B.LOOD ..... JESUS' PRESENCE IS IN THE EUCHARIST, THAT WE RECEIVE AT THE CONCLUSION OF EVERY MASS. THESE ARE VISUALIZED LIFE DESIGN AND PATTERNS THAT ARE LIVED IN THE JUDGMENT OF GOD'S LOVE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS. WE CANNOT HAVE A CHURCH, WITHOUT RECEIVING HIM IN THE EUCHARIST, NO MATTER HOW LIVELY, JOYOUS AND GLORIOUS OUR HYMNS WOULD SOUND. ....
ON THE OTHER HAND, MAY WE KNOW THE ACTUAL PROTESTATIONS AGAINST GOD'S DESIGN AND PLAN AND CORRECT THEM. IF WE EVER LOVE GOD THE FATHER, WE HAVE TO LOVE AND LIVE ALONG WITH HIS DESIGN AND PLAN, INCLUDING VENERATING AND HONORING HIS CHOSEN PARTICIPANTS IN HIS DESIGN AND PLAN, SUCH AS THE CHOSEN VIRGIN MARY, JESUS CHRIST, AND JOSEPH---AS WE ABOVE ALL, RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST IN THE HOLY EUCHARIST.
Thank you Bishop Barron. Your homilies are always so thought provoking. God Bless you and your team for your ministry!!!! Love from 🇨🇦
“I Am the Bread of Life” has always been one of my favorite hymns. Whenever I sing those words, my spine tingles because I know they are the truth.
I believe
Sacred heart of Jesus I place all my trust in YOU
Wow!!! This is amazing! I never thought about it like this!
I wish he would have spoken more about why we believe it is the truly the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ. +JMJ+
Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ
Words cannot describe my experience of the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. I've been raised Catholic my whole life but only truly FELT the realness of Jesus shortly after attending a Life In The Spirit seminar five years ago. It was an intense period of purification and healing of my being. Through it all, one great revelation out of the many, is that the Eucharist is REAL. In moments of anxiety, He literally comforted me. In moments of loneliness, He was present. In moments of not feeling loved, he reminded me I am Loved. In those moments of weakness, the suffering that was released was melded with Love as if it were one and the same. The pain no longer hurt. So I share my story that if you read this, you may entrust your brokenness to Him because he wants to Love you. Peace and Love 🙏
Such a wonderful testimony. Please share concretely on the pains and hurts. Give proof of the release of the Holy spirit, please
Peace and Good to all !,
Every time I'm listen bishop Barron I feel I'm catholic AGAIN ! . 😃😆👍
A passionate plea to all Catholics living. Come on people hiw can it be that 70% do not believe that the Eucharisu is Jesus and Jesus is the Eicharist. If the overwhelming number of Catholics dont believe that simple but core truth of tge Churchs teaching. Then How can we convince the Non Catholics of this world
God bless you Bishop Barron Aux Bishop of Santa Barbara for you speak eloquently gentlely and passionately in explaining the truth and teaching of Mother Church.
Can Catholics who don't believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist really claim to be Catholics? It is a basic cornerstone of our faith.
Thank you for the reminder Bishop B
Eucharist is the blessing of a true nourishment in Christ✝🕊.
This explanation always stuck with me from Dr. Ted Sri, he said that after the Jews celebrated the passover and sacrificed the lamb, they actually ate the lamb, not some mere lamb cookies! In the same way, St. Paul teaches that Christ is our Paschal Lamb and we should keep the feast. Celebrate the mass and eat the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist.
So you are suggesting that the Church should have dinner together, and celebrate the Eucharist as part of a meal? That's not a very practical idea, but in lots of Churches, they have a social with snacks, or a picnic on the grounds after services are over.
@@lukasmakarios4998 please do take a listen to some of Dr Sri's podcasts. He is one of the best Catholic lecturers in theology in the English language. His blog is called "All things Catholic". I am sure then you would understand and not misinterpret Erik Serrano's comment. This is not about snacks or socialising after Mass but about the typology of the Passover.
Erik, Happy Solemnity of the Most Holy Body & Blood of Christ 😊

The problem wasn't that much Vatican II but rather the poor (almost inexistant) guidance lay people would get afterward, that would really help them participate better in the life of the Church and in Mass.
Genuine question : what is "more protestant" in NO ? I live in a place where we only have this one.
clearly something he took from Dr. Hahn...as he was his student...
It seems to me that the loss of faith in the real presence is directly related to the modern mass that surrounds it, stripped not only of the churches sacrificial language, but stripped of the churches long retained external piety and precise reverence around the mass which speaks to the reality of the real presence. Bishop, your catechesis is marvelous. without the timeless mass, people have a hard time seeing the truth of the doctrine you are sharing with us here.
Thank you Bishop and Amen!!!
Thank you!
When I pray the Our Father, I imagine receiving the Holy Eucharist at "Give us this day, our daily bread..." and recieving absolution in Confession at "forgive us our trespasses ", and try to think of someone I don't like or wronged me at, "as we forgive those who trespass against us..."
😁❤
The Theology of the Holy Eucharist is so deep and enriching, yet our understanding is so infinitely finite...
St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us!
Eucharist is the Source and Summit of the Christian Life. Israelites were given Manna for their sojourning from slavery to freedom. John 6 shows us how we need the Body and Blood of Jesus to help us out of our captivity of sin. Heaven is our destination. Thank you Bishop
Superb! wonderful insight.
Thank you for your great messages! You really touch our hearts! I believe ,without any doubt that Jesus is present in the Eucharist! I have a dilemma. I have Celiac disease and cannot receive the bread of Jesus. I know the Catholic Church provides a low gluten host, but any gluten is bad for me so I cannot receive. I have been able to receive the precious blood, until recently. I know that will be a long time if it ever comes back. I am just going to say this is very difficult. I am frustrated, sad and heartbroken. Thank you for listening.
Thank you seperate the Word Lord Jesus Christ.I thank God for you!
All glory be to God! And thank you Bishop for your evangelical mission to deliver the glory of God. Even surrounded by paradise, we’re all walking through the desert. I am my own captor of my own chains. Thank you!
A great bibilical exegesis here by Bishop Robert on the true nature of the Eucharist. His ministry is truly a Godsend and long may he be Blessed in his work.
I accidentally got into a discussion with exclusively Catholic friends on my facebook page. Every single one of them said protesting was more important than going to Mass (Jesus would want us to do it) and they were fine with the different standards and restrictions brought on by COVID 19.
My heart is broken, truly broken.
We should truly pray formally.our friends. Some.of us had those low.points in our lives where we did not spend much time.with the Lord. But persistent prayers work. Let us all add our voice together in prayers. Do not be heartbroken but in all things give thanks to God for your friends
SAD
Really sad, pray for them and offer sacrifices for them. The first commandment is first then all other things. God bless them
THANK YOU!
God bless! I’m looking forward to getting my Word on GlFire Bible.
Peace and Good bishop Bsrron !,
Just to say thanks for this meaning of the Eucharist, it's great !, also miss your daily Mass...
Deus Vult !
Beautiful🙏👍❤😀
May these words become true unto me 🙏🏾 “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood
remains in me and I in him.”
People do not recognize their captivity in sin. When you are freed you see it in hindsight; you see that others are stuck-unknowingly captive, but they do not want to hear that they are captive, it feels like judgement. So how do they cross from blind captivity to freedom? If they do not know they are captive, and they do not desire freedom, what do we do? What about our family members? Why do they receive Eucharist without caring? Bishop Baron says “ take it, take it” but they will not recognize Jesus! I think humility is they key virtue, it is not a popular virtue in our culture.
Bishop Barron: 'PLEASE' put THE MASS BACK ON' LIVE STREAMING..... HOME bound & can't go to building..... Plus: SERMONS are so educational....
I've being a Catholic since I was born and NEVER after I prepared for first communion was I told or heard a sermon by any bishop, priest, or missionary about the body of Christ and its presence in the bread. These are principles that clergy has to talk about often for people to understand the mysteries of our faith, not just assume that people know, or "feel" it
The Pew survey sticks with me as well. Hard to believe so many Catholics are missing this most important part of Mass.
Thank you for this, beautiful
Bishop Barron, can you do a video on the importance of Baptizing your children. I have a friend who was Baptized and raised Catholic, but has left the church and has been bouncing from non denominational churches. She has a son 9 year old who she has not baptized. I would like a video so I can show it to her on the importance of Baptism. Thank you Bishop Barron for all you do. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😊
So sad to miss the Eucharist on this feast, churches are closed because of Coronavirus. I ask that God may draw my 2 sons and my 5 grandchildren to know Christ. Lord, thank you for your sacrifice on the cross thank you for the Eucharist.
Our times now are full of trials and tribulations...with me not being able to receive Holy Communion is so challenging. Praying to God for His mighty Hand for healing from this pandemic and chaos so we can go back to church as a community of God.
Very good! It’s so hard to believe that 70% don’t believe. The Lord has blessed me to believe
Thank you, Jesus. Please help catholics who don’t believe to believe.
... and that my friends is why he is a Bishop. I am a cradle Catholic and went through 8 years of Catholic school in the 70s. I didn't know about the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist until I was 45 years old and after my divorce which is quite painful for me now that I know.
Wow. That’s terrible. The religious curriculum wasn’t very good , or maybe God didn’t want you to hear until you were 45🤔
Thank you, excellent teaching again. I think I got it, I know I felt it. You painted such vivid pictures of an amazing truth.
Amen🙏🏻
The source and summit of the Christian life.
