Friends, while filming at Rome’s famous Church of the Gesù for the St. Ignatius episode of Pivotal Players, my Word On Fire production team was granted privileged access to photograph the hand of the great missionary and founding member of the Society of Jesus, St. Francis Xavier.⁣ ⁣ St. Francis Xavier risked his very life to fulfill Christ's missionary mandate, going to what was for his time the ends of the earth. The hand that baptized an estimated 30,000 thousand new Christians is preserved in a beautiful reliquary for the veneration of the faithful. While the side chapel housing this reliquary is currently under renovation, we are grateful to offer you this intimate capture. Saint Francis Xavier, pray for us!⁣ ⁣ If you’re enjoying these posts, sign up at >> https://pivotalplayersfilming.com where I’ll soon be posting exclusive full-length commentaries about this incredible pilgrimage.⁣ ⁣ #Catholic #priest #diocese #catholique #bishop #roman_catholic #catholichurch #catholics #catholiclife #catholicfamily #catholico #catholicism #catholicfaith #catholica #catholicu #catholic_church #catholicquotes #romancatholicchurch #catholicworld #romancatholic #catholicartist #catholiccreatives #Wordonfire #Bishopbarron #Bishopsdailychallenge

Friends, today’s Gospel recounts the story of the Transfiguration. Here the glorified Jesus represents the fulfillment of the Old Testament revelation, symbolized by Moses, representing the Law, and Elijah, representing the prophets. Let’s look at the two basic divisions. God gave the Torah, the Law, to his people, in order that they might become a priestly people, a holy nation, a people set apart, in the hopes that they would then function as a sort of magnet to the rest of the world. But the Law didn’t take. From the very beginning, the people turned away from its dictates, and became as bad as the nations around them. And then the prophets. Over and again we hear the call to be faithful to the Torah, to follow the ways of the Lord. The prophets turn on Israel itself repeatedly, reminding her of her sinfulness. And then came Jesus, God and man. Jesus did what no hero of Judaism had ever done: fulfilled the Law, remained utterly obedient to the demands of the Father, even to the point of laying down his life. He brought the Torah and the prophets thereby to fulfillment. . . . . #Catholic #priest #diocese #catholique #bishop #roman_catholic #catholichurch #catholics #catholiclife #catholicfamily #catholico #catholicism #catholicfaith #catholica #catholicu #catholic_church #catholicquotes #romancatholicchurch #catholicworld #romancatholic #catholicartist #catholiccreatives #Wordonfire #Bishopbarron #Bishopsdailychallenge #wordonfire #wordonfirecatholicministries #wordonfireinstitute #wordonfiremovement

There is no better exemplification in the Scriptures of what I have been calling the loop of grace. God offers, as a sheer grace, the gift of being, but if we try to cling to that gift and make it our own (in the manner of Eve and Adam), we lose it. The constant command of the Bible is this: what you have received as a gift, give as a gift — and you will find the original gift multiplied and enhanced. God’s grace, precisely because it is grace, cannot be held on to; rather, it is had only in the measure that it remains grace, that is to say, a gift given away. God’s life, in a word, is had only on the fly. One realizes this truth when one enters willingly into the loop of grace, giving away that which one is receiving. The hungry people who gather around Jesus in this scene are symbolic of the hungry human race, starving from the time of Adam and Eve for what will satisfy. In imitation of our first parents, we have tried to fill up the emptiness with wealth, pleasure, power, honor, the sheer love of domination, but none of it works, precisely because we have all been wired for God and God is nothing but love. It is only when we conform ourselves to the way of love, only when, in a high paradox, we contrive to empty out the ego, that we are filled. . . #Catholic #priest #diocese #catholique #bishop #roman_catholic #catholichurch #catholics #catholiclife #catholicfamily #catholico #catholicism #catholicfaith #catholica #catholicu #catholic_church #catholicquotes #romancatholicchurch #catholicworld #romancatholic #catholicartist #catholiccreatives 

Friends, today I was pleased to receive a visit from David Dry, a young convert to Catholicism from our Santa Barbara area, who is about to enter the Dominican novitiate in Cincinnati. I was honored to bless the rosary he will eventually wear on his habit. You’ll notice St Thomas Aquinas gazing on approvingly. Please pray for him and all young people discerning religious life! . . . . . . #Catholic #priest #diocese #catholique #bishop #roman_catholic #catholichurch #catholics #catholiclife #catholicfamily #catholico #catholicism #catholicfaith #catholica #catholicu #catholic_church #catholicquotes #romancatholicchurch #catholicworld #romancatholic #catholicartist #catholiccreatives #Wordonfire #Bishopbarron

My WOF family is quickly becoming a mighty nation! This weekend was an opportunity for many of the WOF families to gather together for fun and celebration. It is a joy to watch the Word on Fire family grow and such a privilege to work each day with a team singularly dedicated to the Church's evangelization mission. . . . . . #wordonfirefamily #wordonfire #wof #Catholic #priest #diocese #catholique #bishop #roman_catholic #catholichurch #catholics #catholiclife #catholicfamily #catholico #catholicism #catholicfaith #catholica #catholic_church #catholicquotes #romancatholicchurch #catholicworld #romancatholic #catholicartist #catholiccreatives #Bishopbarron

Friends, I've spent the past few days in the Dominican Republic filming the Pivotal Players episode featuring Bartolomé de las Casas, the Dominican friar who defended the dignity and rights of the indigenous peoples of the New World. Most of our filming took place in city of Santo Domingo and it was this city that was once the beachhead for Spain's efforts to conquer and colonize the Americas. It was also the port of entry for many Christian evangelists, like Las Casas, who came to introduce the native peoples to the Gospel. Bartolomé de las Casas is an interesting figure because it was from his deeply held Christian convictions that he acted as an advocate and friend to the indigenous peoples, who were being exploited and dehumanized. The advocacy of Las Casas will give rise to the universal concern for human rights and is a pivotal moment in the development of the Church's social teaching.

I’m in the process of re-reading a spiritual classic from the Russian Orthodox tradition: “The Way of a Pilgrim.” This little text, whose author is unknown to us, concerns a man from mid-19th century Russia who found himself deeply puzzled by St. Paul’s comment in first Thessalonians that we should “pray unceasingly.” How, he wondered, amid all of the demands of life, is this even possible? How could the Apostle command something so patently absurd?  His botheration led him, finally, to a monastery and a conversation with an elderly spiritual teacher who revealed the secret. He taught the man the simple prayer that stands at the heart of the Eastern Christian mystical tradition, the so-called “Jesus prayer.” “As you breathe in,” he told him, say, ‘Lord Jesus Christ,’ and as you breathe out, say, ‘Have mercy on me.’ . . . #Catholic #priest #diocese #catholique #bishop #roman_catholic #catholichurch #catholics #catholiclife #catholicfamily #catholico #catholicism #catholicfaith #catholica #catholicu #catholic_church #catholicquotes #romancatholicchurch #catholicworld #romancatholic #catholicartist #catholiccreatives #WordonFire
