I am His and He is mine. We love because He loves us first. He CHOSE us! So I will no longer be ashamed of my closeness with Him but nor will I expose it. It's ours & it's my treasure. I won't pretend I don't have such an intimacy with Him anymore. I'm done pretending. I hear him and I'm not psychotic.

I've been saying t Glory be to you o Fathe3r and to you Blessed Lord Jesus and you o Holy Spirit for a lot of years. I thought for a long time I maybe shouldn't but continued anyway.. I'm going through a dark time at the moment but get great sense of God's presence even though I feel nothing. This video gives me a sense of confidence. Love and God Bless you all.

I had a restless night last night. Usually when that happens it's because my mind has latched onto one or more questions it wants answered. And this was one of those questions. I've heard this "personal relationship" language all my life -- actually more from Protestants than the nuns and priests. And interestingly this video pops up on my feed first thing this morning. Not surprising since I'm subscribed here and I watch a lot of Bishop Barron content. But as I was thinking last night I was also thinking boy, I'd really like to ask Bishop Barron this question and have him explain it to me, because he excels at this stuff. So it does seem a bit coincidental that this particular topic shows up this morning. Unfortunately ... this still didn't do it for me. Not because I don't understand the things being said here and the perspective shift that the language represents and is meant to instill -- but I still don't "get" it. I get the theory. But I don't feel it. Because to me, a personal relationship involves direct dialogue, not a monologue, where the other responds in a language discernable to me. And if I don't understand a response, I can further press on it and that other person will maybe re-word or add details that make the response clearer. Even if I can't see someone, I can have a relationship over a telephone, or even over the internet using this back ... and forth. I met a guy on the internet and became very good friends with him but I didn't meet him in person for 15 years. We could express ideas to each other and the responses were easily accessible and readily decipherable, and when they weren't they could quickly be clarified. At best prayer feels like a very, VERY arm's length "conversation" with someone who either will not or cannot converse in this manner ... and that removes any feeling of "personal" from it - or rather, prevents it. Not being confrontational here, I really want to "get" it, but I'm struggling hard.

POPE BENEDICT XVI: “Faith is not the simple intellectual approval by man of truths concerning God. It is an act in which I freely entrust myself to a God who is Father and who loves me.... Having faith is above all about having a relationship with a God whose love is indestructible and who understands people’s problems. Christian faith entails giving up control and placing one’s life in God’s hands. It’s this liberating and reassuring certainly of faith that helps people live without fear, proclaiming and living out the Gospel message with courage. Faith shows that humanity won’t find its full realization unless the human person is animated by the love that comes from God. The gift of faith then finds expression in relationships full of love, compassion, care and selfless service toward others.”

POPE BENEDICT XVI: “Belief in Jesus Christ should lead people both to a deep communion with God as well as to unity with all men and women. Communion with God and communion among us are inseparable. If people are not in communion with the God who created them, the root or source of unity among us is destroyed. And if people forget that they are all brothers and sisters, our living in communion with the triune God is not real or true. This life of communion with God and among us is the aim of the proclamation of the Gospel, the aim of conversion to Christianity. In a world where solitude threatens everyone, the communion experienced in the Church makes us participants in the love which unites us with God and, therefore, unites us with one another.”

You need to know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior to have a relationship with Him

How can I have a "personal relationship" with someone who isn't physically present? I can't have a personal relationship with the author Herman Melville, Julius Caesar, my deceased Mother or anyone who is no longer physically present on Earth. Where does the Bible say we must have a personal relationship with Jesus? He said he wanted us to follow him and implement his directives. I can't find any statement in the New Testament asking us to have a "personal relationship" with Jesus. How would he speak to me? How would I distinguish between my own thoughts and his speaking to me if that were possible? It just doesn't make sense.

“The spiritual life is learning how to divinize our human relationships and humanize our divine relationship” a misquote im sure from Swami Sarvapriyananda

I find the Church starts out with assuming everybody is in a perfect friendship with Our Lord. We could learn from the Protestants

It’s annoying as I watch all of Barron videos always and to see you take his videos for yourself add to it.
