The single biggest challenge of the Advent season is to feel our need for a savior. The truth is, we can’t solve our problem through an act of the will, because the perversion of the will is the problem. We need help. We need the intervention of a loving God who will shape us anew. We need a savior.

Thank you @BishopBarron and the entire team working on Evangelization & Catechesis for @USCCB. Excellent discussion. As someone who works in evangelization at the grassroots, I was encouraged watching the livestream. You are all supported by many prayers.
I just read @BishopBarron’s chapter on Biblical Interpretation and Theology in his book “Exploring Catholic Theology” and it’s super impressive. Looking forward to reading chapter 13: “Announcing the Lordship of Jesus Christ”. This is ressourcement at its best!
@BishopBarron I finished your book 'Catholicism: A journey to the heart of the faith', yesterday. Thankyou, it was very enlightening and interesting. Especially for a new Catholic like myself on the RCIA journey at the moment.
@dylandrego @BishopBarron has done tremendous work revitalizing the Catholic faith. I see/hear it in bible studies & KOC meetings & TMIY groups & on retreats. He has engaged men & women to rediscover the great intellectual tradition of the Church and take their spiritual life more seriously.
