Bishop Barron on Confirmation and Evangelization

[johnmcarthur]

I will make my confirmation in a few days I have waited 50 years it was a promise to my grandmother I'm so excited

[alanbourbeau]

I remember making my confirmation. It was on Easter Vigil 2010. The confirmation name I chose was Michael. Named after Saint Michael the archangel. As soon I did it, I felt proud of my accomplishment and I felt the Holy Spirit shine upon me. Every year on Easter Vigil, it sort of my personal anniversary. In Matthew 22:14 Jesus says, "Many are invited, but few are chosen." As a soldier of Christ, I do what it takes to defend the Catholic Church against anyone who would slander it and ridicule it.

Bishop Barron, you are a blessing to the Catholic world. You have been a great source of inspiration to my pastoral ministry. Keep the good work going.

Thank you Bishop Barron, you've explain confirmation in a few short minutes than what I've learned in months.

Fear of the Lord is we love God and respect Him so well. We please Him and we don't want to hurt Him. Wow!! This bishop is wonderful. May the Lord bless Him abundantly.

Appreciated very much the value of the sacrament of confirmation for spreading the faith, that the gifts are not just for us but for the whole church.

Great video Father Barron! Finally someone said it!

As Bishop Barron reminds us, we must know our faith. St. Peter warns us of thus in his first letter. For non- Catholics and Catholics alike, read the Catechism to truly learn what the Church teaches, but read scripture . . . with proper guidance . . . To see that all we Catholics practice is God's full word.

Bless you Bishop Barron, another great video that is so motivating. Definitely stoked for your pivotal players movie to be released. Who knows, in the near future you might be among those pivotal players with messages such as these. ;)

God bless and please pray for guidance in my life so that I have piety (knowing what is God's direction in my life versus mine) and for Fear of the Lord as my first priority. Thank you.

Additionally, can you make a video discussing how to know the difference between following what we want in our life versus what God wants in our life? I wish that God would sometimes just tell me what it was so that I could follow it full-heartedly. This is besides the call to sainthood and the call to spread the Gospel. What I mean is more so career wise, etc. Thank you again and hope you read this!

Bishop Barron, can you please make a video talking about pop music/secular music and its impact on culture?

[chris-solmon]

Note, "Sacrament" means "holy, or sacred mind".

Sacra means "sacred". Ment is from Mentis, meaning "mind". That's why you are anointed on the forehead, right above your single eye. Christ means "anointed one".

You are "Christed" when your Thoughts, Emotions, and Actions (Trinity) are in alignment with Truth, thus connecting you to God, the ALL.

The guy ragging on Fr. Barron on the comments here used to be a cop

WOW — I sure am really impressed & intimidated folks

[StJoseph]

I think a part of it, too, is we need to be able to effectively defend the Church, her priests, her Bishops, and her history. Including defending from the unfunny jokes about our priests (our scandal there is no less than the scandal of other faiths and FAR LESS BAD than schoolteachers and prison guards, who get covered for and excused all the time), the lies about our being anti-Science (at least know how to debunk the lies about Galileo) and so on.

And frankly, you shouldn't be afraid to offend people who are just being nasty. You can walk away from such people and while you shouldn't be unnecessarily provocative or antagonistic, you can walk away from swine and throw your pearls before those who are more worthy. If that sounds rude, think about it: if all they want is to attack you you should know how to defend yourself and the Church.

I am a United Methodist. I was Baptized in the Luteran church and made my confirmation in the Methodist Church which later, in 1968, became the United Methodist Church. My confirmation was said with the Apostles Creed much like I have seen the Catholic confirmation be performed. I am now 70 years old and because of upcoming changes within my church I feel like the rug has been pulled out from under me. I understand that the function and blessings of the Pope help to prevent these outside influences from effecting the Roman Catholic Church. I have also been doing some studying.My husband is Roman Catholic. What would be necessary for me to become a Roman Catholic?
