Jesus becoming your friend and the Saints too. I thank God because I felt that in my life. I want to be a saint not for recognition but only because I felt a special bond with the Lord and His friends.
As far as sainthood goes, Our beloved Bishop Barren, it looks like you don't have much to worry about. That still doesn't mean you don't need our prayers for you and your ministry.
Dear Bishop Barron I praise & thank God for your inspiring message on All Saints day. May God bless us all with his graces needed to achieve our destiny to be Saints.

Halloween is the First Day of the Satanic/Calendar. Hallows Eve must be a evening praying the protection of family and the Holy Catholic Church. What many do not understand it is a war of the holy and unholy. The antichrist will do curses and spells of evil to infiltrate the Holy Church and the people of a Holy Faith. Stay away from halloween, the fall harvest and do not participate in trick or treating. The Holy Catholic Church must teach the Holy God's will and what we should be doing. If the faithful knew what the occult does truly against the faithful, they wouldn't participate at all.
This is awesome, Father. Thank you so much for allowing Christ to live and teach through you. It inspires me to do the same! God bless you in your ministry. =)
Very Dear Bishop Robert Barron, the more I want, the more I desire, with all my being be Jesus Christ be My Lord, My King, My Ruler, My Mentor, My God, My Teacher, My Rabbi, My Adonai, My Best Friend, when Jesus Christ is the Very Essence in all My Being, then the more I am. In the Holy and Almighty Name of My Lord Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit and the Authority of God Father. Amen.
@Sarusource Let me ask you a simple question: why do you think it's a good idea to love everyone? If you press that question, you will move into Christian doctrine.
I found the comment that the saints "act on our behalf" very striking. My patron saint is Bl. Imelda Lambertini (look her up, she's awesome), and sometimes I'll find myself wanting to dance with joy or some other thing that I as a respectable(?) adult can't do in that moment. It's comforting to imagine Imelda, eleven years old and full of love, getting to do those things in Heaven on my behalf.
@Sarusource You're on a very dangerous slope indeed, for the moment you say that human rights are not inherent, you admit that someone or some institution has to grant them. And this means in turn that someone or some institution can declare them null and void--which is precisely what happened in the atheist regimes of the last century. What if, according to your reading, we (read powerful people) decide that it's not appropriate to grant rights to others?

@Sarusource No, I just mean human beings! Why do you experience a sense of empathy with everyone you meet? Why do you admire those who love their fellow human beings without qualification?
@Sarusource I think you're subjectivizing things too much here. Granted, there has been an evolution on this score: we've come to see with ever greater clarity that all people are of inherent dignity. But I would ask you whether you think this is true. Are all people endowed with truly inalienable rights? And if so, I'd ask you to search out the deepest ground for that truth.
Bishop Barron I am up in age and I'm having a difficulty memorizing the Hail Holy Queen. Please put it up in prayer that I remember the prayers. I need help so I can share them with others. Thank you.
A few thoughts on Robert Barron’s video… 1. Mr. Barron said that to become a saint “you must allow Jesus to so dominate your life in every aspect that he’s your Lord. He’s the Lord of your whole life.” The Bible teaches that everyone who believes in Jesus is called a saint. 1 Corinthians 1:2 says that we “are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints.” The only way to be washed/cleansed/sanctified, is through faith alone in the blood of Jesus (Revelation 1:5), apart from any of our own works, prayers, religious performances (Ephesians 2:8-9). Mr. Barron is consistent with the Catholic system which teaches that in order to be cleansed/sanctified a person needs to obey Jesus with their whole entire life. It is hoping to be cleansed by self-performance, instead of pure faith in the grace of God. I would ask Mr. Barron if he has allowed Jesus to dominate his whole entire life - even his thought life? No man (other than Jesus Christ) has allowed God to dominate his entire life. We are all sinners (Romans 3:23) and therefore need to be washed/cleansed by faith alone in the blood of Jesus (Romans 3:25). 2. Mr. Barron said that saints can “complete something that is lacking in you,” and that all of the saints together “represent the fullness of God.” The Bible teaches that all the fullness of God is found in Jesus Christ, and that we are complete in Him (Colossians 2:9-10). The apostle Paul warned, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” (Colossians 2:8). Catholicism is a “tradition of men” that takes attention and glory away from the saving work of Jesus alone, and places it in “saints” who are sinners just like everyone else. 3. Mar. Barron said that the saints, “Intercede for us. They pray for us, and act on our behalf.” The Bible says, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5) Notice also that he said, “…as the Liturgy says.” The fundamental error of Catholicism is the issue of Authority. They have replaced God’s Word (The Bible) with man’s word (The Liturgy) as their Authority for truth. The Bible teaches that Jesus is the Only Mediator between God and man. The Liturgy teaches that there are many mediators or interceders between God and man. Whichever we believe is our choice. Only Jesus is sufficient as our mediator because only he gave his life as a ransom for us by dying for our sins and rising from the dead. (1 Timothy 2:6). 4. Conclusion, I hope that you will prayerfully consider the Bible Scriptures I referenced, and realize that the only way to become cleansed of your sins (become a saint) is through repenting of your sins and placing your faith in Jesus Christ alone (Mark 1:15).
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:57 🤔 Jacques Maritain and his girlfriend Raisa contemplated the meaning of life, realizing that not becoming a saint is the only true sadness. 02:08 🤝 Sanctity can be seen as becoming a friend of Christ and allowing Christ to live through you, making Him the Lord of your life. 04:21 🌈 Saints come from diverse backgrounds and personalities, but they all reflect different facets of God's perfection, like colors from a prism. 05:58 🦸 Saints are not just models; they are living spiritual friends who intercede for us and guide us in our relationship with God. 07:10 🚣♀️ Saints are those who allow Jesus into their lives, becoming vehicles for His will and experiencing inner radiance without self-destruction.

first time i saw on the twitter this video,later on the Facebook.i like it.this priest is a brave man.Watch this video,my friends,and be believer,just the religion can save this world.i saved this link on my documents.
Indeed, I can say that "Les Grandes Amitities"(Great friendships), wrote by Raissa Maritain as some kind of philosophical diary, is really worth to read.
@Sarusource Well, at least you've admitted now that human rights are objective and are not simply granted by the state or by fleeting popular opinion. But my question goes beyond simply the recognition of human rights. I'm asking you to consider their source. Where does the inherent dignity of each individual come from?
I wana wish all saints a peaceful rest amongst the stars with the other elders and with the lamb that was slain for the sins of the world. Your glory and sacrifice has been a beacon for many and hope and inspiration. I bless you and pray for you in in the name of the all mighty father. Amen 🙏
While listening to your excellent commentary (when is it NOT excellent?) I couldn't help but think of this quote from C.S. Lewis: “How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerors have been: how gloriously different the saints.”
PS: in the 'Communion of Saints' Christians living on Earth (those in God's Grace and not in mortal sin, at least) are ALSO part of such 'Communion'. The Communion of Saints is the Mystical Body formed by all living Christians (alive in this world or the next) under Christ which is the head of the body. So saints in Paradise can pray for us and we can pray for those who are dead (ie those in purgatory) and we can pray for each other.
Πολλοὶ γὰρἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ τῷὀνόματί μου , λέγοντες, Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ χριστός · καὶ πολλοὺςπλανήσουσιν . Vicarius Filii Dei For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray. Bless you
With the solemnity of All Saints Day which is today, God has called and chosen us to become future saints. Jesus said various times in the Gospels. "Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God." "Many are called, but few are chosen." If we're meant to become future saints in Heaven and to reign with God, Jesus Christ and the rest then we have to live up to the merits and expectations that God has given us. I have a list of Saints who became a good example. I. Saint Michael the archangel. II. Saint Pope John Paul II. III. Saint Faustina. IV. Saint Francis of Assisi. V. Saint Patrick of Ireland. VI. The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God. VII. Saint Peter. VIII. Saint Jude.
As always Fr., you take subjects like this, and turn them into something absolutely meaningful. This was something I wondering and contemplating about for a while now. Thank you so much for your insights, they are encouraging and enlightening. You don't mind me sharing this do you?
There's a patron Saint i rely on in good times and bad times. His name is Saint Michael the Archangel. He's the patron saint of police officers, military grocers, mariners, paratroopers and so on. The reason why i chose him as my Patron Saint because he encourages me to be brave, strong, vigilant, not to be intimidated or weak. The Devil unfortunately sees my weak points and exploits them. By making me feel ashamed, weak, worthless and not qualified enough to please God. But Saint Michael the archangel on the other hand, he makes me feel strong, brave, less ashamed and worthy and more qualified to please God. In my daily life, Saint Michael and i fight together against Satan and his minions whenever i pray the Chaplet of Saint Michael or the rosary. He also knows about my girlfriend. Meaning he knows that she's struggling to receive a kidney transplant. Often times i see her in emotional pain, i start getting emotionally upset like crying. But he encourages me to pray for her. He said, "Alan, I know you're upset about Heidi's kidney situation, but you have to be brave for her and pray for her. Saint Gabriel and i will pray for her too. We're here for you and Heidi." Any Saint in the Catholic church will tell you to be brave, strong, vigilant and high alert of the Devil's work.
Fr. would you consider doing something on the writings of Fr Garrigou-Lagrange? He was the spiritual director of Maritain for some time and is considered the greatest Thomist theologian of the 20th century.
I met Saint Vianney.He did my confession.I didn't go to church then.Their all real.They watch life and report prayers.And help fight evil.I had them too.
Speaking of saints, could you make a video (or point me to one if you've already made it) explaining the intercession of the saints? Although I'm very comfortable with it out of habit, I'd like an intellectual understanding of the practice. Thank you in advance.
@Coredeemer Yeah, I figured that when I see so many people puffing themselves up wanting to be Saints. Funny thing is that the people whom I think would or should be Saints, don't bring attention to themselves, they just go about and do as they do, and they carry something Saintly about them. I think any desire to be a Saint should not be a "hey look at me" but rather a call of duty from God. As Christ did with Peter, God is entrusting us for our vocation. That is what I think sainthood is.
When I get to the point that I can give up my possessions (all of which are useless), I’ll be closer to Christ. I am, sadly, far from that point. I see the path in prayer. Constant prayer. But prayer is just a word until it is actively pursued. I try. But I am still far from there.
@Nemesis000000 1- in which context did the priest speak? Did he mean to be ridiculing or offensive or had he something positive to say in his who0le discourse. 2- do we have all his words or only Maher final cut? 3- in what authority does that priest speak? 4- which sources did he use? In the end such questions are unanswered and we have only Maher final product. As many similar 'documentaries' have shown it is very easy to cut material ad hoc to completely distort something.
perhaps our judgement about 'culpability' of actions changes if someone is too young, or not in mental health; but our judgement about an action itself is usually not swayed by the age of a person. genetic make up? what does that have to do with morality? why does 'what' matter?
@Sarusource But why do you think that every human being is the subject of rights? Why do you think that every human being is worthy of respect? Plato and Aristotle didn't. Certainly Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot didn't. How come? What makes the difference?
some things are not subjective about diets, others are. for example, a baby needs things in certain amounts that a 40 year old does not. some vegetables, too early in a child's life, might endanger them more than help them.
my above point is where i'm heading with that prior statement. people who already believe a theory, try and make data fit it, rather than see data for what it is.
@joecool385 Yes, Hinudism is widely accepted as polytheistic but it's not much different, as there is one main God who presides over every other who have specializations, just like saints.
Australopithecus has many problems as a 'predecessor' to humans. some issues are: the carrying angle of her lower extremities; within a species, variation can be extensive-'lucy' may be an outlier of her species, and not really the 'norm;' among the 'pithecus' remains found, scientists claim certain ones were adept climbers, and others were bipedal; in ape construction, we find these two traits don't mix well-so there is some inconsistency there. my point: the evidence is pretty vague.
@Megastephen1o1 As to the significance of Scripture, I refer you to the following paragraphs of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, 115-117 and you will see that there is in no way a dismissal of the literal in Scriptural exegesis of the Church, as you would have us believe.
i think some people are blinded by what is right in front of them. they argue evolution (or strict creationism) based on beliefs rather than working through all the possible contradictions and data.
@Nemesis000000 I've always liked the comparison of the communion of saints to the pagan pantheons. Of course, Christianity isn't polytheistic in the true sense, since we believe in only one God who made everything, and no one else is a god in the same sense. However, even polytheistic societies had the idea of The One who was above all others. In this sense, the demiurges--or saints--could be seen as instruments of The One True God. A pagan may pray to a god for help, but a Christian to a saint.
@Entropy3ko I'm not claiming anything, I'm just saying it's reminiscent, and asking for clarification if there is any. As for quoting religulous, I was quoting a Catholic priest interviewed in the movie. If I was quoting Bill Maher you would have a point but I wasn't. Why would a priest distort reality to ridicule religion?
Favorite saints? Hard to pin down, but my countrymen St Rose of Lima and St Martin of Porres are high up there, St Luke the patron of my profession, St Thomas Aquinas my intellectual ideal; St Joan D'Arc when I need to keep in the fight...
@Sarusource I read it, and my question is still the same. Now saying that human rights don't actually exist in the way that people think they do--that we can just totally dismiss them, reinvent them, or whish them away. I doubt very much that even YOU believe that, as if someone violates your rights, you don't shrug and say, "Well, those rights don't really exist objectively anyway. Maybe this guy just has a different set of rules." No, you argue that your rights transced his opinion.
@Sarusource Well, string theory is just speculative mathmatics, and if there were "multiple universes," that wouldn't prove a thing. All it does is expand the range of things that need to be explained. It's a "turtles all the way down" argument. Anyway, the existence of different laws of nature is only relevant to the question of rights *if you already assume that everything is rooted in the physical*, but that's the very thing at issue! So it's question-begging even to bring it up.
@Sarusource Your line of argument seems to be to continually repeat your conclusion. Morality is biological. Morality is biological. Morality is biological. Morality is biological. Coming up with six different ways of stating this conclusion isn't an argument.
all your points have been opinion. i did not say dna cant change. i said that gene changes don't mean macro evolution. speciation isn't a big deal. it happens very quickly as adaptation; not 'evolution...' if you understand the difference.
i would point out then, that if morality is a socio-cultural construct, it is odd that nearly every society agrees on certain things, not just today, but throughout human history. killing, stealing, cheating, adultery (in general) are pretty much universally despised. why? because within the human person, there exists a set of 'natural' laws, not evolved to, but inherent in our 'design' by a creator.
Happy All Saints Day 2024!

NEWS! After so many years, Sr Sasagawa of Akita, (approved vision of Our Lady of Akita) has received a NEW MESSAGE from her guardian angel on October 6, 2019: WARNS- “We MUST PUT ON ASHES”…reference to Jonas 3: 1-10
We must PUT ON ‘ASHES’ and say a Rosary of repentance/penance every day. I’ve added the new message plus an explanation to this page of Our Lady of Akita here, scroll down to see the new message:
!!! UPDATE - October 6, 2019 - NEW MESSAGE recently given to Sr. Sasagawa by her Angel. - a private message was given to her, then she was told to tell everyone “Put on ashes and pray for a repentant rosary every day. (i.e say a Rosary for repentance/penance) You (Sr. Agnes) must become like a child and make sacrifices every day.” (Source: EWTN CATHOLIC RADIO)
Re- ‘ashes’: the site that has reported this in Japan has noted that the first Mass reading that occurred two days later on October 8, 2019, was from the book of Jonas 3: 1-10 where the prophet was sent to warn the city of Nineveh that it was about to be destroyed by God because of the grave sins of its populace. The King and people repented, however, and putting on sackcloth and sitting in ashes, they and all their animals fasted and did penance. They appeased the wrath of God and He withheld the destruction of the city.
Since we are getting a warning about ‘ashes’ from the Angel after so many years of silence at Akita, it is obvious this is a warning the chastisements are getting very close. Of note, this message came on October 6, the day the ‘Pachamama’ demonic idol was worshiped in St. Peter’s Basilica. We are getting another warning to step up our penances and repent if we wish to appease the wrath of God and withhold the foretold destruction for a little while longer.
Akita: The THIRD APPARITION - THE CHASTISEMENTS TO COME

Our Lady: “My dear daughter, listen well to what I have to say to you. You will inform your superior.”
After a short silence: “As I told you if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son.

And this means in turn that someone or some institution can declare them null and void--which is precisely what happened in the atheist regimes of the last century. What if, according to your reading, we (read powerful people) decide that it's not appropriate to grant rights to others?
NEWS! After so many years, Sr Sasagawa of Akita, (approved vision of Our Lady of Akita) has received a NEW MESSAGE from her guardian angel on October 6, 2019: WARNS- “We MUST PUT ON ASHES”…reference to Jonas 3: 1-10
We must PUT ON ‘ASHES’ and say a Rosary of repentance/penance every day. I’ve added the new message plus an explanation to this page of Our Lady of Akita here, scroll down to see the new message:
!!! UPDATE - October 6, 2019 - NEW MESSAGE recently given to Sr. Sasagawa by her Angel. - a private message was given to her, then she was told to tell everyone “Put on ashes and pray for a repentant rosary every day. (i.e say a Rosary for repentance/penance) You (Sr. Agnes) must become like a child and make sacrifices every day.” (Source: EWTN CATHOLIC RADIO)
Re- ‘ashes’: the site that has reported this in Japan has noted that the first Mass reading that occurred two days later on October 8, 2019, was from the book of Jonas 3: 1-10 where the prophet was sent to warn the city of Nineveh that it was about to be destroyed by God because of the grave sins of its populace. The King and people repented, however, and putting on sackcloth and sitting in ashes, they and all their animals fasted and did penance. They appeased the wrath of God and He withheld the destruction of the city.
Since we are getting a warning about ‘ashes’ from the Angel after so many years of silence at Akita, it is obvious this is a warning the chastisements are getting very close. Of note, this message came on October 6, the day the ‘Pachamama’ demonic idol was worshiped in St. Peter’s Basilica. We are getting another warning to step up our penances and repent if we wish to appease the wrath of God and withhold the foretold destruction for a little while longer.
Akita: The THIRD APPARITION - THE CHASTISEMENTS TO COME
October 13, 1973
Our Lady: “My dear daughter, listen well to what I have to say to you. You will inform your superior.”
After a short silence: “As I told you if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son.

It gives me a better understanding about sainthood. You are blessed, Bishop Ribert Barron.🙏🏽❤
why wont more people in my school think like this? I love you fr. barron
I wish more people in my school would think like this!!!
thank you bishop
@Sarusource No, I just mean human beings! Why do you experience a sense of empathy with everyone you meet? Why do you admire those who love their fellow human beings without qualification?
@Sarusource I think you're subjectivizing things too much here. Granted, there has been an evolution on this score: we've come to see with ever greater clarity that all people are of inherent dignity. But I would ask you whether you think this is true. Are all people endowed with truly inalienable rights? And if so, I'd ask you to search out the deepest ground for that truth.
U r great Bishop
Bishop Barron I am up in age and I'm having a difficulty memorizing the Hail Holy Queen. Please put it up in prayer that I remember the prayers. I need help so I can share them with others. Thank you.
Beautiful!
Thank you..
A few thoughts on Robert Barron’s video…
1. Mr. Barron said that to become a saint “you must allow Jesus to so dominate your life in every aspect that he’s your Lord. He’s the Lord of your whole life.” The Bible teaches that everyone who believes in Jesus is called a saint. 1 Corinthians 1:2 says that we “are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints.” The only way to be washed/cleansed/sanctified, is through faith alone in the blood of Jesus (Revelation 1:5), apart from any of our own works, prayers, religious performances (Ephesians 2:8-9). Mr. Barron is consistent with the Catholic system which teaches that in order to be cleansed/sanctified a person needs to obey Jesus with their whole entire life. It is hoping to be cleansed by self-performance, instead of pure faith in the grace of God.
I would ask Mr. Barron if he has allowed Jesus to dominate his whole entire life - even his thought life? No man (other than Jesus Christ) has allowed God to dominate his entire life. We are all sinners (Romans 3:23) and therefore need to be washed/cleansed by faith alone in the blood of Jesus (Romans 3:25).
2. Mr. Barron said that saints can “complete something that is lacking in you,” and that all of the saints together “represent the fullness of God.” The Bible teaches that all the fullness of God is found in Jesus Christ, and that we are complete in Him (Colossians 2:9-10). The apostle Paul warned, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” (Colossians 2:8). Catholicism is a “tradition of men” that takes attention and glory away from the saving work of Jesus alone, and places it in “saints” who are sinners just like everyone else.
3. Mar. Barron said that the saints, “Intercede for us. They pray for us, and act on our behalf.” The Bible says, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5) Notice also that he said, “…as the Liturgy says.” The fundamental error of Catholicism is the issue of Authority. They have replaced God’s Word (The Bible) with man’s word (The Liturgy) as their Authority for truth. The Bible teaches that Jesus is the Only Mediator between God and man. The Liturgy teaches that there are many mediators or interceders between God and man. Whichever we believe is our choice. Only Jesus is sufficient as our mediator because only he gave his life as a ransom for us by dying for our sins and rising from the dead. (1 Timothy 2:6).
4. Conclusion, I hope that you will prayerfully consider the Bible Scriptures I referenced, and realize that the only way to become cleansed of your sins (become a saint) is through repenting of your sins and placing your faith in Jesus Christ alone (Mark 1:15).
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:57 🤔 Jacques Maritain and his girlfriend Raisa contemplated the meaning of life, realizing that not becoming a saint is the only true sadness.
02:08 🤝 Sanctity can be seen as becoming a friend of Christ and allowing Christ to live through you, making Him the Lord of your life.
04:21 🌈 Saints come from diverse backgrounds and personalities, but they all reflect different facets of God's perfection, like colors from a prism.
05:58 🦸 Saints are not just models; they are living spiritual friends who intercede for us and guide us in our relationship with God.
07:10 🚣♀️ Saints are those who allow Jesus into their lives, becoming vehicles for His will and experiencing inner radiance without self-destruction.

first time i saw on the twitter this video,later on the Facebook.i like it.this priest is a brave man.Watch this video,my friends,and be believer,just the religion can save this world.i saved this link on my documents.
I love the burning bush analogy. I am so far from a saint but I keep on trying anyway
Indeed, I can say that "Les Grandes Amitities"(Great friendships), wrote by Raissa Maritain as some kind of philosophical diary, is really worth to read.
@Sarusource Well, at least you've admitted now that human rights are objective and are not simply granted by the state or by fleeting popular opinion. But my question goes beyond simply the recognition of human rights. I'm asking you to consider their source. Where does the inherent dignity of each individual come from?
I wana wish all saints a peaceful rest amongst the stars with the other elders and with the lamb that was slain for the sins of the world. Your glory and sacrifice has been a beacon for many and hope and inspiration. I bless you and pray for you in in the name of the all mighty father. Amen 🙏
While listening to your excellent commentary (when is it NOT excellent?) I couldn't help but think of this quote from C.S. Lewis: “How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerors have been: how gloriously different the saints.”
PS: in the 'Communion of Saints' Christians living on Earth (those in God's Grace and not in mortal sin, at least) are ALSO part of such 'Communion'.
The Communion of Saints is the Mystical Body formed by all living Christians (alive in this world or the next) under Christ which is the head of the body.
So saints in Paradise can pray for us and we can pray for those who are dead (ie those in purgatory) and we can pray for each other.
Πολλοὶ γὰρἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ τῷὀνόματί μου , λέγοντες, Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ χριστός · καὶ πολλοὺςπλανήσουσιν .
Vicarius Filii Dei
For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.
Bless you
The world needs saintly leaders.
With the solemnity of All Saints Day which is today, God has called and chosen us to become future saints. Jesus said various times in the Gospels.
"Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God."
"Many are called, but few are chosen."
If we're meant to become future saints in Heaven and to reign with God, Jesus Christ and the rest then we have to live up to the merits and expectations that God has given us.
I have a list of Saints who became a good example.
I. Saint Michael the archangel.
II. Saint Pope John Paul II.
III. Saint Faustina.
IV. Saint Francis of Assisi.
V. Saint Patrick of Ireland.
VI. The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God.
VII. Saint Peter.
VIII. Saint Jude.
As always Fr., you take subjects like this, and turn them into something absolutely meaningful. This was something I wondering and contemplating about for a while now. Thank you so much for your insights, they are encouraging and enlightening. You don't mind me sharing this do you?
Awesome
Excellent video and makes some great points
I like that the Saints are on fire with Christ but they are not consumed, they lit up, they are more radiant.
There's a patron Saint i rely on in good times and bad times. His name is Saint Michael the Archangel. He's the patron saint of police officers, military grocers, mariners, paratroopers and so on. The reason why i chose him as my Patron Saint because he encourages me to be brave, strong, vigilant, not to be intimidated or weak. The Devil unfortunately sees my weak points and exploits them. By making me feel ashamed, weak, worthless and not qualified enough to please God. But Saint Michael the archangel on the other hand, he makes me feel strong, brave, less ashamed and worthy and more qualified to please God. In my daily life, Saint Michael and i fight together against Satan and his minions whenever i pray the Chaplet of Saint Michael or the rosary. He also knows about my girlfriend. Meaning he knows that she's struggling to receive a kidney transplant. Often times i see her in emotional pain, i start getting emotionally upset like crying. But he encourages me to pray for her. He said, "Alan, I know you're upset about Heidi's kidney situation, but you have to be brave for her and pray for her. Saint Gabriel and i will pray for her too. We're here for you and Heidi." Any Saint in the Catholic church will tell you to be brave, strong, vigilant and high alert of the Devil's work.
I too will pray for your girlfriend. I wish her and you many, many happy years ahead from the bottom of my heart. God bless you!
Fr. would you consider doing something on the writings of Fr Garrigou-Lagrange? He was the spiritual director of Maritain for some time and is considered the greatest Thomist theologian of the 20th century.
Thank you Bishop....sidebar question, is that big book behind you the Liber Usualis?
Become a friend of Christ.through the by imitating the saints of our liking.
I met Saint Vianney.He did my confession.I didn't go to church then.Their all real.They watch life and report prayers.And help fight evil.I had them too.
Speaking of saints, could you make a video (or point me to one if you've already made it) explaining the intercession of the saints? Although I'm very comfortable with it out of habit, I'd like an intellectual understanding of the practice. Thank you in advance.
@Skelley-Priest wow, that's an old comment.
@Coredeemer Yeah, I figured that when I see so many people puffing themselves up wanting to be Saints. Funny thing is that the people whom I think would or should be Saints, don't bring attention to themselves, they just go about and do as they do, and they carry something Saintly about them. I think any desire to be a Saint should not be a "hey look at me" but rather a call of duty from God. As Christ did with Peter, God is entrusting us for our vocation. That is what I think sainthood is.
saint day is the best (2020)
When I get to the point that I can give up my possessions (all of which are useless), I’ll be closer to Christ. I am, sadly, far from that point.
I see the path in prayer. Constant prayer. But prayer is just a word until it is actively pursued.
I try. But I am still far from there.
I equate Saints to a Heavenly Nepotic Circle!
@Nemesis000000
1- in which context did the priest speak? Did he mean to be ridiculing or offensive or had he something positive to say in his who0le discourse.
2- do we have all his words or only Maher final cut?
3- in what authority does that priest speak?
4- which sources did he use?
In the end such questions are unanswered and we have only Maher final product.
As many similar 'documentaries' have shown it is very easy to cut material ad hoc to completely distort something.
perhaps our judgement about 'culpability' of actions changes if someone is too young, or not in mental health; but our judgement about an action itself is usually not swayed by the age of a person. genetic make up? what does that have to do with morality? why does 'what' matter?
@Sarusource But why do you think that every human being is the subject of rights? Why do you think that every human being is worthy of respect? Plato and Aristotle didn't. Certainly Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot didn't. How come? What makes the difference?
some things are not subjective about diets, others are. for example, a baby needs things in certain amounts that a 40 year old does not. some vegetables, too early in a child's life, might endanger them more than help them.
my above point is where i'm heading with that prior statement. people who already believe a theory, try and make data fit it, rather than see data for what it is.
Father, if I wanted a book to learn more about the lives of many saints... Is there a book you could recommend for me?
@joecool385 Yes, Hinudism is widely accepted as polytheistic but it's not much different, as there is one main God who presides over every other who have specializations, just like saints.
Martin Luther was made great and I remember him this day.
Not great, he was a rebel. Be a follower of Jesus Christ, not a follower of evil Martin Luther
Australopithecus has many problems as a 'predecessor' to humans. some issues are: the carrying angle of her lower extremities; within a species, variation can be extensive-'lucy' may be an outlier of her species, and not really the 'norm;' among the 'pithecus' remains found, scientists claim certain ones were adept climbers, and others were bipedal; in ape construction, we find these two traits don't mix well-so there is some inconsistency there. my point: the evidence is pretty vague.
@Sarusource I'm afraid your question suggests you aren't really aware of what question-begging means.
@Megastephen1o1 As to the significance of Scripture, I refer you to the following paragraphs of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, 115-117 and you will see that there is in no way a dismissal of the literal in Scriptural exegesis of the Church, as you would have us believe.
@CatandMaster Er, I was enjoying your response until the sudden shift to accusing me of being cynical and prejudicial, which is not what I was doing.
@Megastephen1o1
Where are you getting your information? These all enjoy the same status in the Latin rite as they always have.
i think some people are blinded by what is right in front of them. they argue evolution (or strict creationism) based on beliefs rather than working through all the possible contradictions and data.
@Nemesis000000 I've always liked the comparison of the communion of saints to the pagan pantheons. Of course, Christianity isn't polytheistic in the true sense, since we believe in only one God who made everything, and no one else is a god in the same sense. However, even polytheistic societies had the idea of The One who was above all others. In this sense, the demiurges--or saints--could be seen as instruments of The One True God. A pagan may pray to a god for help, but a Christian to a saint.
Dear wordonfire: Can you advise me as to books on philosophy ?
Who is that at 4:19?
Who is the man pictured at 4:11?
@Entropy3ko I'm not claiming anything, I'm just saying it's reminiscent, and asking for clarification if there is any. As for quoting religulous, I was quoting a Catholic priest interviewed in the movie. If I was quoting Bill Maher you would have a point but I wasn't. Why would a priest distort reality to ridicule religion?
I recently went to the Guadalajara Cathedral and inside I saw the relic of "Santa Inocencia". Is this real?
Favorite saints? Hard to pin down, but my countrymen St Rose of Lima and St Martin of Porres are high up there, St Luke the patron of my profession, St Thomas Aquinas my intellectual ideal; St Joan D'Arc when I need to keep in the fight...
@Megastephen1o1
Which saints would those be?
@Sarusource I read it, and my question is still the same.
Now saying that human rights don't actually exist in the way that people think they do--that we can just totally dismiss them, reinvent them, or whish them away. I doubt very much that even YOU believe that, as if someone violates your rights, you don't shrug and say, "Well, those rights don't really exist objectively anyway. Maybe this guy just has a different set of rules." No, you argue that your rights transced his opinion.
Right
as you stated "i may be wrong...' in nearly every way.
Who do you thınck ıs The Beast wıch Archanghel Mıchael fıght ın Apocalıpse?
@Sarusource Well, string theory is just speculative mathmatics, and if there were "multiple universes," that wouldn't prove a thing. All it does is expand the range of things that need to be explained. It's a "turtles all the way down" argument. Anyway, the existence of different laws of nature is only relevant to the question of rights *if you already assume that everything is rooted in the physical*, but that's the very thing at issue! So it's question-begging even to bring it up.
Happy Halloween Father Barron!! (uh, not trying to be offensive or anything, sorry if I am)
@Sarusource Your line of argument seems to be to continually repeat your conclusion. Morality is biological. Morality is biological. Morality is biological. Morality is biological.
Coming up with six different ways of stating this conclusion isn't an argument.
all your points have been opinion. i did not say dna cant change. i said that gene changes don't mean macro evolution. speciation isn't a big deal. it happens very quickly as adaptation; not 'evolution...' if you understand the difference.
i would point out then, that if morality is a socio-cultural construct, it is odd that nearly every society agrees on certain things, not just today, but throughout human history. killing, stealing, cheating, adultery (in general) are pretty much universally despised. why? because within the human person, there exists a set of 'natural' laws, not evolved to, but inherent in our 'design' by a creator.
