Friends, Christ is risen! I just finished a beautiful and festive Easter Mass at Padre Serra parish in Camarillo, where we worshipped our resurrected Lord outdoors because there were so many congregants! I've been so encouraged by seeing so many people at liturgies during the Triduum, and it's really struck me that we must make our best effort to invite our friends, neighbors, and fellow parishioners back to worship wherever and whenever it's possible. | Bishop Robert Barron

Friends, everything in the Church’s life comes from and returns to the sacraments. But there is far more to these ancient rites than meets the eye. In a new follow-up to my film series on the Mass, I look at the great sacraments of the Church in all their theological depth, spiritual effects, and pastoral promise. “The Sacraments” will help you understand these signs and channels of grace and discover the secret behind their persistence down the ages: the presence and power of the Savior himself

Friends, join me in praying for the graduates of the University of St. Thomas in Houston, where I had the great privilege of preaching at their baccalaureate Mass.

Friends, I spent the weekend at Mission Santa Ynez offering Mass, praying the Rosary, and defending the legacy of St. Junípero Serra. Yes, the Church is concerned about racism, oppression, and righting social wrongs—and we're also concerned when the wider culture besmirches the reputation and memory of one of God's great saints.

Friends, today we celebrate the feast day of a great saint in the Church: St. Francis of Assisi. I invite you to watch the “Pivotal Players” episode that highlights the work of this simple yet profoundly spiritual man. He was the founder of the Franciscans, a street preacher, a lover of poverty, and a friend of God with a deep evangelical zeal for the Gospel. St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us! | Bishop Robert Barron

Friends, in this Sunday's reading, St. Paul affirms what stands at the center of his life: preaching the glad tidings that God has won the victory over sin and death, thereby liberating all creation. Paul's whole life revolved around this good news, and so it must be for us.

Friends, I encourage you to watch this clip from our "CATHOLICISM" series on St. Katharine Drexel. As a wealthy young laywoman, disturbed by the treatment of Native Americans, she traveled to Rome and had an audience with Pope Leo XIII. She begged the Holy Father to create an order of priests or nuns to teach and love the Native Americans. But the Pope fixed her with his gaze and said, "You should be that missionary." The Pope's words struck a nerve and changed Katharine's life. She recognized t
