Bishop Robert Barron Friends, why has the story of the Epiphany—the three wise man paying homage to the Christ child—so captivated us over the centuries? I think, in some ways, it tells the whole spiritual life: our infinite longing that will never be satisfied here below; the following of beautiful but ambiguous signs in our quest for God; and the…

A while ago, I met a mother and her daughter, the latter of whom I hadn’t seen in several years. On the cusp of turning twelve, she’d obviously grown in the time since, and, her mother proud…

As Bishop Barron noted in a recent letter to his diocese, "by an inescapable logic [therefore] no priests, no Church." We should add, however, that priests come from bishops, which expands the ecclesial…

Sure, there’s winter, spring, summer, and fall. But the seasons in between have even more poetic names. In Alaska, greenup describes a sudden, dramatic burst of green after a long, dark winter. And there are many, many terms for a cold snap that follows the first taste of spring: blackberry winter, redbud winter, onion snow, and whippoorwill storm,…

Main Point Blessings or destruction can flow from the same mouth, but a heart that treasures God should let only blessings pour out. Put simply: Only good should come from our mouths, not evil. James 3 presents a powerful call to Christian self-examination, centering on the profound responsibility and danger of our speech. The passage underscores t…

As the year ends and cold weather is setting, I thought of telling you a winter tale. And finish the year with the thought that, from the beginning of time, people always looked up to the vastness of the sky and tried to find meaning in our existence by creating and sharing stories and bringing everyone together.

In this Christmas message from Hebrews 2:14–18, we see why Jesus had to become one of us. When life gets dark, we’re tempted to grab “fake lights” that promise peace but can’t save. But Christmas is God’s reminder that He didn’t send a picture of hope—He sent the real Light. Jesus entered our humanity, stood in our place, and now helps us in the fi…
