Just realized I lived down the block and across the street from where Bishop Barron went to high school. My sister and I rode our bikes past Fenwick to go to the park all the time. Thank you Bishop Barron and Fr. Mike for your obedience to our Lord. You’re doing excellent work.

My two favorite priests at the same table. I can't believe it. Both have done so very much for me in my faith journey.

Might be funny to say but these men are Catholic rockstars! Thank you to both these Catholic celebs!

[alicjaabela]

It's so fun to see how awe struck Fr Mike is sitting and listening to Bishop Barron! They are both great models of faith. well done!

[blanasky]

Fantastic!, thank God for both of you, I’m a 58 year old convert who with his wife came into the church. Thanks so much for these YouTube videos. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ!

I'm a convert in 2016 and Bishop Barron, Fr Mike Schmitz, as well as Peter Kreeft and Scott Hahn are all huge reasons why I became Catholic and why I keep learning more and more about the faith.

[GluteusMaximus]

I can see Father Mike as a Bishop. He definitely has the education, logic, discernment and the faith.

Bishop Barrons Catholcism series on EWTN helped bring me back to the fold. Father Mike knows how to talk to ppl and make things understandable to even kids. Great inspirations in my catechism role.

[alondraceja]

Beyond grateful for these two men❤️❤️❤️❤️

3:20... The look from Bishop Barron says it all. He knows that Fr. Schmitz is the perfect person to help him spread the message because he got it at an early age.

Father Mike in his beginning which is helping so many new believers and Bishop Barron down the road with all his life experiences keeping us in tuned to other perspectives in the Faith. I’ve been listening to Bishop Barron and I guess it’s what I need today on my journey. So much insight indeed

Been a close follower of Bishop Barron for a long time. And now am going through the Bible in a Year podcast with Fr. Schmitz and loving it! 2 model Catholic theologians!!

I had to laugh at Fr. Mike's comment about his mother's books. I'm not married, no kids, but about 2 weeks ago I had to admit to myself, I am a Catholic book addict! Yesterday I went to buy yet another Catholic book but stopped and made a vow that I will not buy another book until I read the stack of books I have waiting to be read! So, right now I'm currently reading 3 books at the same time, not counting the Bible in a Year reading. Lol Not sure what the Lord is doing to me, but He can do anything He wants, and if doing all this reading is what He wants, I will gladly do it. His will be done. I love both of these men and admire them both! What I wouldn't give to have been a fly on the wall to be in this room and hang with them both for a while! True blessings!

2 powerful phrases to lead us to Jesus !

[shaider]

Wow, Bishop Barron and Father Mike in a single video!:)

[JoeSerwach]

Love seeing them together. It’s like seeing Superman and Batman in World’s Finest Comics. 😉

[NothosXXI]

This is so beautiful... Our Lady is always at the center of all conversions and calls to the Priesthood! Praise be Jesus and Mary!!!

[nikkid]

Thank you both for everything! "For such a time as this" I am so so grateful to be around and alive at a time when I have you both as leaders and tools like YouTube that make your talks accessible to all, rich or poor no matter where we live in the world. God is so so good!

[HanNguyen-vgfq]

Amen! Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist with faithful heart and eyes Fr Mike. Thank you for your Good new O’ Lord!
