Dear God, have no idea what you are doing in and with my life, but I’m going to trust you. Thank you both .

[DawnLapka-ci]

I noticed that if I don't pray or listen to some kind of podcast like this before I go to sleep, I wake up in the morning cranky. Always grateful here. Thanks. Prayers for my family, myself, the Pope, all the Bishops and priests in this world. Amen.

Jonathan Roumie, started me praying the Rosary . He really is prayerful and I needed prayer. I’ve followed him for a few years. I’m 77.

[casanovagirl]

Had me tears. Thank you for this beautiful interview

[michaelfrank]

I come into this first skeptical. A kind of, oh here we go again Bishop. I was again won over during discussion of the rosary. This segment connected the dots.

[sstadlbauer]

Thank you, Bishop, for sharing your wisdom. What a privilege 🙏

[papisoros]

The greatest thing we can have again is a heart of a Child, of an Innocent.

that there are Families, so that there is Peace; May there be Peace, so that there may be Family

[albertoflamini]

Praying for Bishop Barron & vocations!

[Renny-ch]

I remember the Catholic church had a designated day of prayer asking to stop the war in Ukraine that was years ago.

Only God knows what the future holds, and Jesus Christ our savior 🙏💙

[BBethune-lj]

[mariaelizabeth]

I pray that my daughter Joanne Shireen and Hubert Silva be married and be blessed with children to help them to grow in love day by day 😅❤❤❤❤

Bishop Barron our minister Justin preached on this very same topic! There are NO coincidences with GOD!

[rjskeptic]

As a physicalist, i find your conversation a big part of imagination eepecially the concepts she has.

[FranciscoAfonso-cpbu]

GLORY!!!'m favoured, $140K every 3weeks! And I am retired i can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America🇺🇸❤️

[papisoros]

Savior, God Christ, I am not worthy to be Your slave, but use me whenever you want.

Pray for us

[lukebrody]

Respectfully, (as a Catholic) I must say it is time for the Church to come clean on why the desert war-god Yahweh was accepted as being the Father of Jesus for the past 2, 000 yrs and why it is still taught today.

[JoshuaRyan-mmst]

I want to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for hearing and answering my prayers, thank You, Lord! May the Holy Spirit continue to guide us in sharing Your unconditional love. On another note, trusting the process really does bring great rewards. Working with Melissa Jonas Richard has positively impacted my financial journey, and her advice has helped me grow. If you’re considering a change, don’t hesitate and stay disciplined it could be just the opportunity you’ve been looking for!
