- One of the greatest privileges I have as a bishop is the opportunity to preside at the sacrament of Confirmation. I want to share with you in this video some of the key ideas in the latest iteration of my Confirmation sermon. To Learn more visit www.WordOnFire.org
I had to wait and make my confirmation myself in my 40s. I regret I didn’t do it earlier. It was a beautiful moment and I truly loved declaring my faith and receiving the anointing. Glory to God.
If you haven’t done it, take time to go do it. Don’t wait. There is absolutely a miraculous power within this sacrament. ✝️
I have my confirmation on Tuesday and I am very excited
huh
I got confirmed as an adult today. God bless you everyone.
Hes not lying. I pursued happiness my whole life and felt empty my whole life. But when i seeked christ this Christmas I been happy and peaceful every since. He gave me everything I was searching on my own. 😊
Dear Bishop Barron,
I am 61 made my first Holy Communion at Marist Brothers Chapel Sacred Heart College Johannesburg, and now I am excited to do my Confirmation at St. Patrick's Church in Taupo, NZ. Thank you for your teachings that are invaluable!!
God Bless you, Eddie ✝️
Thank you Bishop Robert Barron! God bless you! Pray for me and my twin brother- we're starting Confirmation classes very soon. We're in eighth grade! God bless you and Peace be with you! ☮🙏🏽👍🏼😇! Thank you for the preparation!
Blessed to have been confirmed into the Church this Easter 2017. I am really finding a "shift" going on in my soul since the Easter Vigils Mass, and to be quite frank, it is not pleasant to the "old man me." Quite a bit like Aslan shredding the dragon skin from Eustace. But praise be to the Lord, it is SO worth it to be bound to his Bride, the Church.
I guess the best thing is to throw yourself into the life of the church ⛪️ and community relationships, as much as is possible (& esp. in these days!) appreciate your comment tho, will help me so that if/when it comes I won’t think it’s just me !😅
I am my cousin's Confirmation sponsor, so I shared this video with her. Even more exciting, is that Bishop Barron is our auxiliary bishop, so he will likely be the one to preside over her confirmation next year. God bless you, Bishop Barron! Thank you for this powerful message.
What an honor it would be to have Bishop Barron to be a mentor and leader for the young people. He's 100% correct on happiness which I wrote an essay on with Daniel Gilbert before my conversion to Catholicism. I still need to be confirmed.
Cajus Lehmann
Yes.
Considering Bishop Barron is one of the most intellectually powerful, most influential, most famous, and probably most holy people in the entire American Catholic Church....
It would be quite the honor.
Jason I wonder if I can make it happen. I know some pretty heavyweight Catholics. And Bishop Barron shares a column with my mentor Dwight Duncan.....how coo, would that be? And Peter Kreeft. I would be so proud. So I converted and go to Mass but how do I arrange the formal going through the confirmation and so on? Thanks and God Bless

All you have to do to receieve the Sacrament of Chrismation (aka Confirmation) is ask your parish Priest.
There are several ways to go about it, and the Priest or Deacon will decide what's best for you personally.
Then your Bishop (or Priest if the Bishop gives him special permission) will administer the Sacrament to you, and you will be permanently sealed with the Sign of the Cross and the Holy Ghost making an indelible mark on your soul and adding the finishing touch to what began at your Baptism.
Brandon Young
Also, when it comes time to be confirmed:
I recommend going to Confession either the day before or the day of Confirmation...
The day after my Confirmation, I had to confess to being Confirmed while in a state of sin -
It was also sort of embarrasing because as I sat with all the other people being confirmed, when we went up for Communion I had to quickly dodge the Priest so as to not receieve and eat and drink condemnation to myself by receiving Our Lord unworthily.
Jason wow thank you for sharing all that and for pointing my in the right direction. I think I did have communion once during an Opus Dei retreat and I threw it up along with my breakfast. I was definitely in sin and thinking of it....there wasn't confession. Confession is so essential. Thank you Jason.
Thank you for video Bishop Barron, I've always loved your videos. It's a good reminder for all. Catholics for the renewal of baptismal promises during the Easter season. Thanks for being on Catholic answers and for asking my question on allegories. I struggle with it at times!
Thank you Bishop Barron. You do me a lot of good. May God bless you and protect you always.
I'm going to get confirmed in half an hour. God bless all of you. Keep on the straight and narrow path.
This is what I told my children about confirmation! Of course, not as thoroughly as Bishop Barron did, but the essence of that they were taking responsibility and their belief in the Catholic Church. That was 10 years ago, and I really like our new Bishop! Great job, Bishop Barron! And you have a youtube channel to boot! Awesome!
Increasing my capacity to love. Thanks Bishop.
Thank you for this wonderful presentation Bishop Barron . For my College class
(Foundations of Catholicism) I had to watch this clip. Its so remarkable How God is so involved in Baptism and Confession.
God surely is AMAZING !!🙏💞
Thank you Bishop Barron, I’m about to be confirmed in 2 weeks, your words are always so helpful and inspiring.
Wow Bishop Barron is awesome!! I was converted to the holy Catholic Church two years ago at the age of 38. I'm still in the process of learning all I can about our Catholic faith. There's so much to learn. But even after two years of studying, including all the RCIA classes I attended. I have never quite looked at my confirmation the way Bishop Barron explained it. Thank you Bishop Barron for all of your wonderful videos. I pray that God blesses you and your ministry. May our Lord Jesus Christ keep you safe. And grant you many rewards in heaven for your love and service too the holy Catholic Church and all of her people.

Bishop Barron is one of the most learned men in the history of the Church, and I am absolutely sure if you asked him "how much do you know, and are you still learning?" his answers would be "very little, and until I enter the Beatific Vision, God willing".
Life on earth this time around, in itself, is a Catechism.
You are not "fully Catechized" until you receive your glorified body and Jesus renews the heavens and earth and creates the New Jerusalem...
Even then, I'm sure we'll still be deepening in our understanding of the Deity as we gaze on His Infinite Holiness up close.
You were absolutely 100% correct. There is so much to learn about the holy Catholic Church. Someone with a 260 IQ could research the Catholic Church for their entire life and only learn a fraction of all there is. That's why I don't understand why so many parishes don't have Catholic education classes. Most parishes do have Bible study and things like that. Don't get me wrong. Learning about the holy Bible is very important. But very few have parishes have classes that teach people about the holy Catholic Church. It would be wonderful to be able to find a group that teaches about the catechesis and the doctrines of the holy Catholic Church. Especially things like the seven sacraments, body and blood of Christ, Eucharistic adoration Etc. So many Catholics know less about their own faith. Then they do about Paris Hilton or those reality tv show. The few parishes that do have catholic education classes. Have them during the week in the evening. Because I work second shift I can never go to them. The majority of my Catholic faith education comes from reliable sources on CZcams and the Internet. Like Bishop Robert Barron, Cardinal Raymond Burke, Archbishop Charles Chaput, Msgr Charles pope, and a few priests and brothers. Thank God for those holy men of the cloth. That are willing to go the extra mile to teach people about the holy Catholic Church. God bless them all.
God's Servant catholic radio helps alot, you can download the Immaculate heart radio app onto your phone and listen whenever and anywhere. God bless
Welcome home 😊❤
God's Servant Confirmation is receiving the Holy Spirit to become a warrior of Christ. Dates back to acts of the apostols. To receive the Holy Spiritbis clearly a gift from God. Welcome home brother
xcellent explanation and definition of the Sacrament of Confirmation. thank You Bishop Barron.
This guidance for members of the church who admit themselves to this sacrament have an immense grace of God to answer to...Bishop Barron's description and comments on what exactly Confirmation is: is deeply spiritual, practically essential!
Interestingly enough, today is the 21st anniversary of my Baptism. So hearing this about confirmation is really bringing it together.
Happy anniversary!!
God had a life trajectory for me that was painful, empty and uncertain with little to no love with the exception of my grandparents. I had to endure this to understand the plight of others especially our youth. God decided it was time to experience the all-embracing pure love of the Holy Spirit in August of 2017. Seven months later, on March 31 (Easter vigil) I was confirmed at the age of 43. Besides that day in August, my confirmation was the happiest day of my life. My life began when the Holy Spirit was sealed the very moment the anointing oil was placed on my forehead and took a deep breath inhaling the clean rich scent of myrrh. It was a moment where the Holy Spirit wiped away all painful thoughts and past
Very clear and to the heart of the matter. Thank you so much
I was confirmed in the Anglican Coalition (Anglican Mission Canada) and was filled with joy. The bishop that confirmed me Thomas Jefferson Johnston. I believe that confirmation is a benefit to both Catholics and Anglicans but foremost you follow Jesus the Messiah & LORD!
I love this one, it’s so powerful. We listened to it again last night on the way to our daughter’s baptism

this is the best video I've ever seen
I was confirmed on June 24th, 2020. I was Confirmed in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati by a wonderful priest and led to spiritual enlightenment by a great RCIA team. The Catholic Church is the Church for me. God Bless!
That was AWESOME!
Great video! Our church tells our children they aren’t ready for the Sacrament of Confirmation without consistency or support documentation.
Brilliant!
Beloved Sacramentos for eternity! 😇😇😇
I am being confirmed May 26 this year!! my parish is in the diocese of Los Angeles. I have been eagerly awaiting this day since my conversion to the One True Church. Maybe Bishop Barron will confirm me, how cool would that be!!
I'm sure you'll be blest with whatever graces God has in store for you...and be assured of the confidence that we, other members of this chosen race, have in your willingness and ability to take that tough step that He is asking of you!
In the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, with the authority of God Father all mighty and the fire and wisdom of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Excellent explanation of the confirmation! Please translate the series Word on Fire to portuguese! I have watched the first 3 CDs. It is a fantastic project, ellucively explained and historically sustained. It has to go worlwide. Thank you!
I got confirmed at 35 this past Easter after being away from the church for over 20 years 😊❤
thank you so much bishop, you help me understand the meaning of this faith so much, keep it up (:
AND I DONT 😡😡😡😡
):
Got my confirmation this afternoon. Ave Christus Rex Caeli et Terrae
May the holy Spirit today's confirmation especially Sarah
Your excellency,
I find this video very interesting. On Easter Vigil 2010, I made my confirmation. At first, I had doubts and was skeptical. But my mom encouraged me to do it. So the big day came. My older brother attended the celebration. He was skeptical of what I was doing. He thought it was a publicity stunt. But I proved him wrong. As for my confirmation name, it’s Michael. Named after Saint Michael the archangel.
I know of two biblical passages that Jesus said.
“Many are called, but few are chosen.”
“It was not you who chose me. It was I who chosen you.”
I ever get to see all TV or radio heared wishing them happiness and health over all from Heart And i get try to know Godself for get to give Godself to who's needing near me or far i never get that Angels get felt all that i share or show and i ever care little childs for they could be happy or helped wherever they get need or troubles. SO i ever was looking the Will from Godself when i answered He ever He worked much with much people near and far but i never Guess only wish when i felt far from Godself i fought with myself to be off My fall appart and Godself ans front me. I never was scared i LOVE Godself more than me
Having mine on the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes
Your Excellency,
Could you please do a video on ignatian spirituality and how "seeing God in all things" is different from worshipping nature? Also is God bound by the sacraments? If not why are they still important?
Thank you!
I am curious would you or have you directed a confirmation for adult? Is there any special themes or extra statements for those who have been confirmed as adults? I was confirmed after a conversion to Catholicism at 35. My life changed significantly and all for the better. Personally, I was glad to do so as an adult when I found I had a deeper understanding. I would be interested on your thoughts about the age of typical confirmation versus confirmation later in life. I love your podcasts and youtube clips! I am thinking of doing some myself since so many people have asked me about my choice. I am inspired! Keep up the excellent work!
I need to find an extended version of that jingle at the beginning!
Same
God wants to show his presence.
I was confirmed by Cardinal Wuerl , the archbishop of Washington. May 31, 2014
I get confirmed tomorrow 🥰
All the best
I had my Confirmation today.
I was Confirmed March 25, 2019 by Most Reverend Bishop Armando Xavier Ochoa of the Dioceses of Fresno California. 😀🕊
Rainy XI Do you pay for your confirmation class?
Sarah Apple No (: I had my catechism by just signing up and attending
How long does it take to get confirmed??
Making my Confirmation tomorrow (May 18th 2019) by Bishop Zubik (Pittsburgh Diocese). He enjoys questioning some of us...so hopefully I don't look like a fool!
Yo man, I bought your "Catholicism" book a few days ago. I look forward to reading it.
Travvis Todd
I laughed out loud at addressing the Bishop with "yo man".
Bishop Barron is humble and has a good sense of humor, so I'd wager if you said that to him in person he'd smile and say "yo man" back to you.
I imagine you're right about that.
My people call him "Your Excellency" in spoken address and "The Most Reverend" in the written word.
Quit the cap
Father, what do you mean when you put Honor in with other "big four?" I had always seen honor as being trustworthy, upholding your word and having a code (an example being Chivalry, or the Japanese bushido). In what way is this negative?
Styrene Panzer fame.
My confirmation is cancelled because of the Corona virus outbreak. Sad to have to wait even longer after 6 months of RCIA. But everything in God's time. 🙄
I'm finally getting confirmed today after over a month more of waiting. Hold fast to the faith. Our time will come
Confirmation today!!!
My confirmation is on June 9th
There will be no Bishop at my confirmation, is that bad?
"if you opt out, the work of Jesus won't get done in the world" I thank you for that Father. I hope you included that applies to leaving Christ's church for another. Difficult words perhaps for one who finds goodness and truth in heretical or schismatic churches.
Think deep to change yourself
Bishop Barron, I wasnt confirmed by a Bishop. I was confirmed by the local priest. Would my confirmation be valid?
I did Even to the Anointing of the sick to 3 times i'm tired
Your Excellency,
Are you familiar wirh the hollywood actress Dolores Hart?
She was a star in the 50s who made movies with Elvis, then gave up hollywood, the world, marriage, everything to become a cloistered Nun.
Can you make a video on her / people like her sometime please?
Jason I met her.
What a tremendous honor that must've been for His Excellency!
In my opinion, she is a living Saint in the line of St. Mother Teresa and St. Mother Angelica
How do I un do it?
I was confirmed in 1951. I don't remember anything about it. If I made any "promises" it wasn't after careful consideration as to whether or not I really believed. At age 13, after thorough indoctrination in Catholic school, I accepted without question, the claims of the nuns and priests. It wasn't any different than my infant Baptism. I didn't have any choice.

"If you opt out, the work of Jesus (that you were assigned based on gifts and talents you possess, and based on where you were planted to bloom) won't get done in the world."
6:01 Never have I seen high school youth wear that color vestment at my parish. I think I need to change that.
What happens if some of them leave Christianity altogether? Do you reconfirm them or what?
No, one good confession and they're back. If it's been a long time they'll sometimes have them do a class to relearn their faith.
The Lord espoused by the culture is your idealized vision of yourself. That is why they are always saying to "follow your dreams". Their praise of wealth, power, pleasure, etc is just how they modify it. They are using emotion to manipulate you on a subconscious level. Advertising is based on the same thing.
That isn't to say that Christians can't follow their dreams, but that we subject them to Christ our Lord. This ordering does three things. First, it maintains context in the larger community via Christ's command to love our neighbor. Second, we don't pursue them by any means necessary as Christ tells us to sin no more. Third, losing hope of ever achieving what we dream of doesn't get us down all that much because our treasure is in heaven.
-Hello bishop, a question I have is if I have to believe all the Catholic doctrines (that are NOT a matter of salvation) for me to be consider catholic? For example purgatory, immaculate conception, etc. Thanks.
FernandoP1 - Art Zone Productions Yep.
-Thanks for your response, I do believe the Catholic Church nail everything when it comes to salvation, but this secondary & unnecessary doctrines are against the scriptures, like purgatory for example. The Bible tell us that the blood of Jesus clean us from all sin (1 John 1:7), why do we need purgatory then?
FernandoP1 - Art Zone Productions we need more than being cleansed from sin, we also need to be holy as God is holy in order to live with God forever in heaven. Forgiveness of sins gets us out of hell, but we need more than that to get into heaven. As Scripture says, we are to "strive for peace with all men, and for that holiness without which no one can see God (Hebrews 12:14)." Scripture also tells us that God is an all-consuming fire that purifies and perfects His saints. This Fire is purgatory.
All the doctrines of the Catholic Church are in perfect harmony with the Scriptures. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would guide us to all truth and the Holy Spirit has never failed and will never fail to do so. And Christianity is about more than just "how to get to heaven."
Paul Johnson -Thanks, but what's the difference between been Holy and been sinless?
Star_City_Mayor -Thanks for your response, but the issue of indulgence is because of purgatory by which these starts to get out of hand and it starts taking a shape of a business more than a doctrine in that sense. God bless.
Thanks
What painting is this? czcams.com/video/f-UuMAU7qT0/video.html
Your Excellency, please give us the Full Catholic--let's hear about Marianism and why we embrace it, who else besides us believes in the intercession of the Holy Host, and maybe one on Mary. Yes, it makes historically Protestant America itchy, but it's no longer Protestant America it's a heathen pagan nation. We find the Generation Z and very young Millenials love hearing about it!

Baby baptism seems wrong to me
Well...I'm not sure that's entirely correct. We are "publicly declaring who [we] are before the Church and before God" every time we pray the Creed at Mass. We renew our baptismal vows at various masses throughout the year, not just at our Confirmation. When we enter the Church, we dip our finger in the Holy Water and bless ourselves, and we are remembering our baptism and, hopefully, recommitting to those vows. We don't just chose our faith one time and then are done. We chose our faith every time we chose to say yes to God and no to sin, every time we chose to answer the call to prayer. Sadly, it is this mentality that cause people to treat the Sacrament of Confirmation like a graduation from the Church, and it is so wrong and so sad. Confirmation is so much more than just "choosing the faith."
Historically, baptism has been known as the sacrament of faith and so "a public declaration" of faith in Jesus Christ. The sacrament of chrismation or Confirmation has been considered a STRENGTHENING of the reception of the Holy Spirit we receive in baptism for the TO CONTEND FOR or DEFEND THE FAITH. So, look at the Apostles in the upper room after Christ's resurrection, "Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven, whose sins you retain are retained. [cf. John 20: 19-23]" BUT ten days later on that first Pentecost Sunday, the Holy Spirit falls on the entire Church, and WITH ZEAL they go out and SPREAD the faith, contend for the faith, defend it against detractors on that first Pentecost [cf. Acts 2]. In fact, the bishop used to slap the cheek of the confirmands, to let them know believing in Jesus Christ would be a battle and entail suffering.
Wait, why are they wearing those robes?
Come on, you have to ask this? They're in L.A.
So the wee bairns don't get confused, should probably mention that they've already been branded, and so already made to belong to Christ, in Baptism, and Confirmation completes, confirms that.

Bailey Rounds wtf???😂
Didn't Bob Dylan allude in an interview that he sold his soul to the devil?
Confirmation: When one's views on and relationship with The Church changes.
I like this guy Robert. He is bright and has my brothers namesake. When witnessing such insightful presentations I sometimes take note of this data that corresponds with the projection. The data itself is often presented in the same way as Station six of the cross, the copy or transfer of image. The Veronica namesake means True Image - hey that is the same acronym of IT or Information Technology. Boy the Catholics are getting sharper and sharper. It almost reminds me of back in the Day when I filmed Mitchell Buick commercials. Donning the car salesman with a crown and creating an edit just like in the I dream of Jennie television series. Yes low budget can convey a whole lot of data. In fact John Mitchell allegedly got caught turning back odometers in his establishment which I admired so much. A dealership adorned with twin Leo lions that caressed those entering the premises as such to fondle their emotions in such a way just to get a rise out of the needle. And here on the CZcams odometer of •11,470 views I must also wonder IF the odometer is being monkeyed with in such a way to actually manifest the word of God? This is certainly not the case as Christianity teaches us to be honest and to never convey the notions of education to others via the realm of wizardry an magic. I am no snub nosed wandering Jew who is making my Dia remarks after 164 comments. In fact I am German on my dads side and Polish & Swedish on Moms. So my GPS of the (S.O.C.) or Sacrament of Confirmation is strictly in association with the namesake of Simon of Cyrene. IF you are Greek and like math then perhaps the annotation of Σίμων Κυρηναῖος applies as it relates to the ancient puppet theater of Karigos and the dragon. Dragons are a decorated snake and the namesake of Stephanie certainly applies here when adorning a dragon with a crown. Me being the native 'Beaver spirit' that I am. I prefer to thing of my crown as the pubic spread of a gal that I met at Menards in Antioch, Illinois on Mothers day of 2017. I can just imagine her getting off on the dominant ruler ride and climaxing as such so that her juices flow into MeRAK the plow star of the Big Dipper so as to pour out upon her naked and fondled sister lying next to us who is also in orgasmic convulsions that I hooked up to her perky nipples.

You describe the Catholic Church quite well, very far removed from the man you imagine was your god.
Oh come on, friend. Every human organization is marked by these sins. But you want to reduce the whole of Catholicism--which includes Mother Teresa, Francis of Assisi, John Paul II, Maximilian Kolbe, Edith Stein, and millions upon millions of unsung saints--simply to corruption?
sata nic drivel
yall smkoin that satan pac?
Our LORD GOD, JESUS CHRIST did not teach us any 'sacraments'. These are the figment of the imaginations of the 💒 of rome to bind them to obey their false non biblical traditions n teachings🤤
Wil liam “Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. “Do this in memory of me.” “If you declare men’s sins forgiven, they are forgiven.” Shall I go on?
I don’t have confirmation but just baptism
Can a person who hasn't been confirmed be buried in a Catholic cemetery?
Yes.
Excellent explanation of the confirmation! Please translate the series Word on Fire to portuguese! I have watched the first 3 CDs. It is a fantastic project, ellucively explained and historically sustained. It has to go worlwide. Thank you!
I mean enlighting explination (elucidativo, in portuguese)
Muito bom né! Estava pensando, no futuro, em traduzir alguns vídeos do Bispo Barron!
