Friends, on this feast of St. Catherine of Siena, I invite you to watch the “Pivotal Players” episode about her life and vocation. Though this fourteenth-century mystic and Doctor of the Church never studied theology, and in fact never formally learned how to read or write, her life constitutes a powerful challenge to the flattened-out secularism of our time.
St. Catherine of Siena, pray for us!

Could you please pray for me? I struggle with the anxiety which stops me from living my life. I only recently found out that her Feast day falls on my birthday and her words gave me temporary comfort: "Start being brave about everything. Drive out darkness and spread light. Don’ look at your weaknesses. Realize instead that in Christ crucified you can do everything". St. Catherine pray for me 🙏

Hey guys, My great-grandma has Alzheimer's and is on her deathbed. She married a war hero, converted to Catholicism, and had tons of kids. I and many others would appreciate prayers for her and for our family. It looks like they're going to pull the plug today. She'll be up there though. She loves Jesus and He loves her. I'll be praying for you all. You're great Bishop Barron. I appreciate you a lot. You've taught me a lot of things about Catholicism. You even wrote me a personal note in one of your Bibles before. You probably don't remember but just know that I'm thankful for it. - Jacob

@stooch66 4 месяца назад

Our trip to Siena was a critical point in my deeper conversion. The holiness of that town with St. Dominic and St Catherine just struck and put me on a path of intellectual discovery which eventually led me to a more spiritual conversion. Everyone needs to encounter the saints whenever they can. When you understand their level of devotion, you can’t help but start to seek it yourself.

@Heart_on_Fire1 4 месяца назад

Amazing story. I heard this past Sunday's homily about St Catherine, about how she was hungry for Jesus in the Eucharist, where half of the host disappeared after the concresation. Sadly, 70% of Catholics do not believe in the real presence of the Eucharist. Having had a profound conversion experience 16 years ago where God intervened through our Blessed Mother to save my marriage, I have grown with increasing love for the Eucharist. I doubled down on my Mass attendance in person during the pandemic. During the first three months of lockdown, I did feel the same hunger for Jesus in the Eucharist. Look forward to hearing this talk with Bishop Barron. God bless!

@colleenwebster8762 4 месяца назад

Glad your community kept churches open. That still hurts my heart thinking of that time when so many needed the mass to stay strong and that for months we were denied mass and going to communion.

@Heart_on_Fire1 4 месяца назад

@@colleenwebster8762 Sad to know many departed souls were not able to receive any of the sacraments during that time. Not only Church's hierarchy permit the closure but also promoted the tainted vaccine. We can now see a spiritual battle between the traditional/conservative versus modernist/progressive Catholics that we never have seen before. The message of Akita has come to fruition, "Cardinals opposing other cardinals and bishops against other bishops." Pray for the conversion of hearts.

This video leaves me in AWE! Having sought mysticism in Egyptian Roscrusians, Hebrew Kaballah, & other spiritual paths, I find this beautiful presentation, at every level of production @ this mystical Saint, breathtaking. Not only her life, but also, Bishop Barron's thoughts on GOD's love, humankind, & that metanoia that brings our relationship into GOD's love through Jesus Christ, the Bridge, to want well being of the "other" rather than our own self serving. I'm spellbound @ the moment. Thank you, everyone.

I have hurt a precious woman of my life through infidelity many years ago. Her name is Linda McFarland, and there isn’t a day that goes by in the nearly 20 years since I’ve last seen her, that I’m not filled with such heartache, grief and regret. I still love her so much but know that I have failed her. Pray for her that she is happy, and I humbly ask everyone who understands pain such as this to remember me and pray for me too. May the Lord be with you always in love.

Thank you Bishop Barron for this beautiful story of St. Catherine of Siena. Coincidentally, I had received St. Catherine of Sienna, by Paul Murray (word on Fire Institute )yesterday, and have been enjoying reading it….then this video popped up on RU-vid! The book starts out….The truth will set you free from falsehood. It will dissolve all shadows, giving you light and knowledge in God’s mercy. In this truth, you will be freed. - St. Catherine of Siena what wonderful words for today’s world. ❤️✝️

My grandmother Catherine was very religious. She would sing and pray holding me in the rocking chair. I remember her showing me how to make fried chicken and beef kidneys over mashed potatoes and homemade chocolate peanut butter fudge. We always needed to watch the News at 6 o'clock. The three of us. My grandparents and me discussing how this should be done if we could fix the criminals that hurt people or children.

Thank you, Bishop Barron! This talk really means a lot to me, bringing me back to the year 2013, a friend invited me to have watched the vivid performance drama of Saint Catherine. It was talking about her extraordinary love and faith to our Lord Jesus Christ when she was restricted at home for 3 years by her parents… I was deeply heart-touched with tearing all over on my face while watching it, since by then, I was exactly getting through the most challenging three years of my Catholic faith journey after my Baptism in 2011. That drama of Saint’s vivid life story brought me a lot of strength to trust in Jesus and deepened my faith to our God a lot! What a life of our faith to Jesus!

@ChristopherReichert-km2ww 4 месяца назад

My wonder at the way Bishop Barron brings the most amazing Saints and Teachers of the church to life and to our appreciation of their importance in "following" their example was left wanting a little in this documentary. It may be that St Catherine of Siena was so supernatural that a mere mortal like myself found it hard to absorb the lessons of her life and teaching. I may gain more from playing the video back a few times. I was absolutely bowled over by Bishop Barron's video on St Augustine a little while back as well as that on St Therese of Lisieux (the Little Flower) some time back, but today I am a bit confused. All the same, my thanks to Bishop Barron and those involved in bringing us these precious offerings. Peace be with you.

@ChristopherReichert-km2ww 4 месяца назад

Thanks, that is some consolation. I'd also like to correct myself re St Augustine, in my comments above. It should have been St Thomas Aquinas of course. That episode was brilliant.
