World Youth Day: Hearing God’s Whisper

Friends, World Youth Day is one of Pope John Paul II’s greatest gifts to the Catholic Church, and it was a joy to attend World Youth Day 2023 in Lisbon. Over the span of just a few days, I was privileged to speak at five events. This World Youth Day was truly a memorable experience.

It touched my heart to hear the man say "I want to be a saint," then to hear the Bishop say, "The Great saints had worldly responsibilities." It felt like a message to me, as I often feel like I am divided between my spiritual time and the pressures of my life. But I guess there was never a saint who didn't also have worldly problems and duties.

[@Lerian_V]

I want to be a saint too, but I need help to get on my feet. I know that God hears prayers, and he will do what is best for me.

[@lauracerdan2479]

What a remarkable impact you did in all your interventions in WYD in Lisbon!! I can’t thank GOD enough for granting You such a wisdom, discernment and skills Bishop Robert Barron. You are really sent by Him ❤

[@p.s.6952]

Dear God protect and guide us all especially the youth 🙏 ❤️ lead them to do your Holy Divine Will let your infinite mercy and undying love be upon them and may through the powerful intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mama Mary bring them more closer to her Divine Son Jesus..and let the Holy Spirit give the fire of conviction to stay stronger in faith and more persevering in prayer 😇🙏❤God bless everyone

[@frausto4086]

We need more leaders like you Bishop, God bless you

[@spaceforgrace3312]

Wonderful video- I couldn't go and I'm old anyway but this moved me. Thank you and God bless.

[@jims_ON]

"Real Freedom is disciplining the desire." I love that. Thank you, Bishop. 😇😍

[@elizabethlee6049]

I am 75 and I am superbly inspired by you!! Praise the Lord!! Thank you thank you!!

[@busterbeagle2167]

Peace be with you sir.

[@borneandayak6725]

Shalom. Catholic from Malaysia. Jesus bless all of us ❤❤❤

[@Homeinmygardenwithmydog]

I remember Bishop Barron talking about spending five minutes with someone and you will learn what is important to them. I did some self reflecting on that and asked myself what was important to me. My number one answer was, “freedom”. Today, just now, listening to this video, to hear the words of Pope John Paul II, saying to do as Christ says and you will be free, resonated so strongly with me because, maybe for the first time, I got it. I am reminded of so many snippets from these wonderful videos from Word on Fire and Bishop Barron where I have been told that God is Love. I have tweaked that a little and say, “not only is God Love but, God wants you happy”. In sin, we definitely can hurt others but we hurt ourselves too. We move away from God’s Love, God’s Light. Jesus tells us so clearly how to remain in the light. “It’s for freedom that Christ has set you free”. I don’t know about the rest of you but, “whoa!”. Major moment for this lapsed Catholic who is struggling to work his way back into the Light. I needed that, Bishop. I needed that almost desperately. Thank you and God Bless You.

[@gabriellepatalano7026]

Thank you Bishop. This video brought tears to my eyes. God bless them all forever. May the depth of their faith continue to grow and illuminate the world.

I am thankful for Bishop Baron who speaks the words of God in ways that touch the hearts of our youths and beyond - including older people of different generations.

[@bluesky7226]

Seeing all those beautiful young people praising God brought tears to my eyes! It gives us hope.

[@Nicky-Music]

It absolutely does. All too often, we hear about young people who are heading towards the wrong path in life. Not these young people, and so many of them!!!! Thank you, Bishop Barron, for inspiring and encouraging them and those of us who have watched this video, too. You have reminded me of the Holy Ghost Fathers' hymn "Go ye afar, go teach all nations, bear witness unto Me on earth in every clime, and I with you shall be until the end of time."

[@aestrada7679]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. I got to participate in1993 when St John Paul II visited Denver. My 67 year mom and I, plus my 16 and 15 year old sons all walked to see St John Paul. My mother was always a devout Catholic and noting would have kept her away. Watching this still makes me cry.

[@tomlabooks3263]

God bless all of us. Praise be to our Lord Jesus Christ.

[@maryannborg184]

What a blessing it is watching this marvelous video! When I see all these young people as well as the crowds in Medjugorje I try to argue and convince Jesus that YES there still are people who want to make Him the center of their lives, in spite of the evil that’s going on around us on this planet. Lord You indeed are so Awesome ❤

What a joy filled pilgrimage it must have been thank you for sharing these highlights from WYD2023, I'm 49 years old and no longer a youth, but can recall how a pilgrimage/retreat I attended in 1989 with other youth truly helped plant seeds of faith for me. I can only imagine how much these young people will take back to their communities.

[@debbiherold4932]

Bishop Barron, Yes we all are sinners and Jesus is Divine...the One to be followed. In the world's continued struggle with abuses past and present within all religious sects, I pray that not only may I continue to remain focused on Jesus, the True Divine, God's Light, and Mother Mary, but that maybe my little flame will shed Light and understanding and continued reverence to our Catholic faith. Thank you again for your heartfelt leadership. God Bless.

[@donaldnazareth3533]

[@praxidescenteno3233]

Wonderful! Look as family!

[@Martin-qm2lg]

Is Western society truly spiritually hungry? How? In need of something? What? Most it seems are not searching, not asking what it’s all about, not opening their eyes or looking upward, but very content and settled in a strong secular atheistic view and life practice. The ground is truly dry and the daunting work of evangelism is a heavy but necessary task for us all.

[@thesleepingsaint]

Beautiful coverage of this event...reminds me of pope Francis visit to Ireland...great to see young Catholics passionate about their faith! 🇻🇦🙏
