  1. as a musician in a small parish, i have attended three Christmas masses, but i ended Christmas day with this mass. i always listen to bishop barron's weekly sermons. i loved the daily online masses that were offered during the nation's lockdown. father steve, i loved your sermons and have missed them. wonderful sermon today, as usual. "and the Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us." i didn't feel that john was laconic here, but expressing a deep, unfathomable mystery. masses were once ended with this amazing reading. i wish they still were. a blessed Christmas to all! for unto us a Child is born!

  2. Rarely, hence preciously, words trouble me. Your rendering, bishop, of Jacob reached me. How I struggled with God in the noviciate and scholasticate as I felt being shredded by his refusal of my offer to serve him as a priest. How could You, God, push away one who desires You so much? The struggle ended with a deep wound: the uncovering of my addiction to « being desired », God then becoming my ultimate prize. « Look at me », I could then claim; « I am chosen by the One greater than any by whom I could ever be desired. » And from that wounded place, God entered. I now marvel at God’s work in me from my deepest conviction that no deed from me can con God into desiring me. How free my love for Him has grown as I now live from a place of being loved by Him as I am as I am not. I rest easier in acknowledging myself as a sinner.
    Je vous aime, cher bishop

  3. Thank you, Bishop Barron, for bringing this virtual Christmas mass possible to us. Loved your profound and uplifting Homily as always. Today's message from you is very comforting to know that Jesus, our Lord, still love us and care for us regardless of our faults and failures, and wanted us to be with Him always by leading us away from our sins into holiness.
    We can only ask for His blessings and mercy for us sinners to be kindly considered into His Heavenly kingdom with our best humanly efforts, possible.
    Thank you to the staffs celebrating mass there as well.
    God bless. Merry Christmas!

  13. Wow, great homily!
    Again, this proves Catholicism is not a dumb faith. Sigh. How I wish our beloved priests here are as good as Bishop Barron, not the gibberish and garrulous types. Not all Mass attendees are simply nodding and merely present for the plain sake of getting over and done with the obligation.

    On the bright side, I'm thankful for these priests for presiding the actual Eucharist (though they don't accommodate Confession) despite the restrictions and challenges brought by the ongoing pandemic.

    Merry Christmas!
    God bless us.

  18. Thank you so very much for this dear homily Bishop Barron. I appreciate these words more than you know. This is how I know that God works through you–your words are, I know, from God directly to us. God bless you always.

  22. Thank you Bishop Barron for the wonderful sermons. For all masses and Father Steve celebrated during the lockdown in Singapore. My family was introduced to the online mass "Word On Fire" all those Sermons delivered by yourself and Father Steve were truly nourishing. And just to let u both know that it kind of make the Holy Scriptures came alive! We have just received "The word on Fire Bible" all the way from Canada. Thank you Father Steve and Bishop Barron for waking up our luke warm faith which is now on fire.

  23. Bishop Barron What a beautiful homily with such history of Jesus' dysfunctional family much like ours. We are so loved by Him who became on of us and be so intimately involved in our lives. Thank you Jesus for loving us so much.. Doris Blais

  33. Dear Bishop Barron, Thank you for your insights every day. I always had one question which may seem foolish, but I don't understand how we say that the people in the lline of David are Jesus' ancestors and, yet, there is no shared genes in that line, but only in the line of Mary. Please answer this question for me. Thank you and God bless you this Christmas and always.

  34. He talks about how we ACTUALLY are.. muddy, ambiguous and brings up outsiders, prostitutes, and so forth. ThankGOD. why would we NEED God if we were all good? Nah we a mixed bag. thanks BB.. felt like all the ones you suggested 0_o

  35. Feliz Navidad, Cristo se ha hecho carne, familia desde la familia disfuncional, desde Jacob, David, Rahab, Ruth. Lo dice usted muy bien y con fundamento bíblico, y creyente. Gracias. Las dos señoras que han hecho las Lecturas lo han proclamado muy bien. Paz y Bien. Feliz año de santo Domingo, 2021.

  38. Powerful statement of the Good News. Thank you for offering this to us today.
    Is there any place to find a transcript of this message and others? I'd like to share it with
    my elderly parents who are not internet savvy.

  40. The part where he was going into Lord Jesus’ ancestors and how even they, sinners, and some unknowns, are still part of the family that led to the Lord. Idk, it just moved me to cry. I’m a quiet person, most wouldn’t even realize I’m there in the background of my own life and even then unworthy, so it struck such a cord. Thank you for this video.
