If Bishop Barron is speaking to your heart and you are not yet a confirmed Catholic, please go to your local parish church and join the RCIA program. At 55, I was Baptized and confirmed on Easter and it has meant the world to me. Just dive right in, join the Body of Christ, you will not regret it!

At least I can rest assured that Word on Fire donation dollars are not going to questionable research like IVF or promoting secret behind the scenes clerical marriages or supporting the commoditization of women and children. Or the creation of genetically altered human children. Bishop Barron doesn’t support forced homosexuality on people or making people choose an ideology as a requirement of ordination or of entering religious life. I am glad he doesn’t support the abuse of science and technology to the point of ending human enrichment in working for a living. Or that he doesn’t support anything heretical or against Catholicism like freemasonry or being controlled by his donors to compromise the Sacraments or contribute to the phenomenon of people not attending mass.

Bishop Barron, please talk about the particular judgment.

Thank-you so much for these words of wisdom and deeply insightful visions from The Bible and how Jesus was the end all and be all of all previous religious faith bringing beautiful, glorious truth. He continues to be a focus for the pagans continuin to assign their evil traditions to Jesus instead of demons they choose to host themselves; a measure displaying the devil's continuing prowl through the world for the ruin of souls.

For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all Ecclesiastes 9:5 Your dead ones will live. A corpse of mine-they will rise up. Awake and cry out joyfully, YOU residents in the dust! For your dew is as the dew of mallows, and the earth itself will let even those impotent in death drop in birth. Isaiah 26:19 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out" John 5:28,29 Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone that is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all. Do you believe this?” She said to him: “Yes, Lord; I have believed that you are the Christ the Son of God, the One coming into the world. John 11:25-27

As long as I breathe I have a reason to praise, thank and follow the Lord

Love this topic and so well presented; however, at least for me, the explanation did not directly answer the title question of what happens to us when we die. Rather, it does wonderfully answer the question what happens when we are resurrected. I hope you will consider doing an important post-script on this homily addressing what happens to us between death and our resurrection. Thank you, Bishop Barron, for teaching on so many important matters of our faith.

Bishop, thank you. For what it's worth, all, what Bishop refers to regarding our own deaths - our own transfiguration - was shown to me in quiet, effective ways when our brother died. 31 years ago. Like it was yesterday. Details upon request.

As Bishop Barron says, we believe in the resurrection of the body... At the same time, I can't help but recall what was said on Ash Wednesday- "remember you are dust, and from dust you shall return" (as we receive the ashes)....

@wardjaeger8954

Ай бұрын

Indeed, this is part of the curse of Original Sin that we inherit as human beings (Genesis 3:19). We say these words on Ash Wednesday to become painfully aware of our sinfulness. Lent is the season where we clothe ourselves is sackcloth and ashes, like the people of Nineveh, in order to repent of our sins. But the liturgical calendar does not stay in Lent. “The wages of sin are death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). We would have “returned to dust” in our sin, but Jesus’ death and resurrection have actually gained for us a life even after death. That is why Easter is the Solemnity of solemnities, because we celebrate the immensity of God’s love which gives an eternal life we could never have achieved on our own. All that remains is to accept our place in the heavenly banquet, even in the present moment. Happy Easter season! Christ is risen, alleluia!

I like the new studio windows. ‘Climb Every Mountain’ is strangely coming to mind

I love Bp.Baron. He is so mediocre. But I guess that that's why so many people love him. Also, his organization, Word on Fire, sponsors and supports many worthy initiatives. Initiatives that are beyond his own capacity. God bless him.

Oh my gosh. Jesus asking for food blows my mind. How real can you get? Love it.

St. Paul said “To be absent of the body is to be present with the Lord” !

Yes, this is helpful and Bishop Barron is one of the few bishops here talking this way specially online. But in all honesty when we die, our spirit does leave our body and the body is eventually buried or cremated in the Earth and does turn to dust. But he’s saying that’s not the end and eventually we will be reunited with our bodies. They will come back to life, as Jesus did, in a glorified eternal, perfect state. So he is our example, and definitely our hope.

Amen. I could listen to Jesus speaking through Bishop Barron all day! 🙏💙

When you die to all that you now believe you return to the kingdom of Heaven…. As soon as you do

ST. POPE JOHN PAUL II: : “The love of Christ is more powerful than sin and death. St. Paul explains that Christ came to forgive sin and that his love is greater than any sin, stronger than all my personal sins or those of anyone else. This is the faith of the Church. This is the Good News of God’s love that the Church proclaims throughout history and that I proclaim to you today: God loves you with an everlasting love. He loves you in Christ Jesus, his Son.”

❤❤❤

It’s an impressive feat in our culture to get 11,000 people to voluntarily stop and contemplate the fact of death. Most people live like it doesn’t apply to them and nothing has consequences.
