WORD ON FIRE

Word on Fire Catholic Ministries is a nonprofit global media apostolate that supports the work of Bishop Robert Barron and reaches millions of people to draw them into or back to the Catholic faith.

Word on Fire is evangelical; it proclaims Jesus Christ as the source of conversion and new life. Word on Fire is Catholic; it utilizes the tremendous resources of the Roman Catholic tradition, art, architecture, poetry, philosophy, theology, and the lives of the saints in order to explain and interpret the event of Jesus Christ.

Word on Fire Catholic Ministries exists to draw people into the body of Christ, which is the Church, and thereby give them access to all the gifts that Jesus wants his people to enjoy. To be most effective in this mission, Word on Fire places an emphasis and urgency on the use of contemporary forms of media and innovative communication technologies.

Friends, Jesus tells us his messiahship is one of service, not self-interest. As sinners, we have a tendency to understand our religious lives in a self-interested way, but the grace God gives us is meant to be given away. SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube ...

Friends, ever since I was a young man and throughout my academic career, my touchstone has always been the great St. Thomas Aquinas. I hold to an 'open Thomism,' one that welcomes Augustinianism, Bonaventurian thought, and contemporary thinke...

I sent my Word on Fire team out into the city of Rome to ask young people their thoughts about faith, the Church, and Jesus. Their answers should impress upon us the urgent need to share the Tradition, redouble our evangelization efforts.

Bishop Barron says that one of the temptations of the post-modern world is to see Jesus as one spritual guru among many. But that's repugnant to the logic of the New Testament.

Friends, we continue our reading of the marvelous Sermon on the Mount. We cannot read this sermon as one ethical teaching among many. Everyone from Plato and Aristotle all the way up through Kant and Hegel have a moral philosophy-an understanding of ...

Friends, when our heart belongs to anything in this world, we live in an empty and lifeless spiritual space. But when our heart belongs to the Lord, the rest of our life falls into right order around that center. Our readings this week raise a crucia...

Friends, I'm going to be blunt with you: today's Gospel is really challenging. It cuts right to the heart of the ethical implications of the Gospel. There's something of a "be all, end all" quality about Jesus, something of an e...
