C&SI - Advent Reflections with Bishop Robert Barron - 21 Dec 2025 (S06E04c) (podcast excerpt)

On this weeks podcast as a final sharing for Advent, we share two reflections from Bishop Robert Barron from the Word On Fire Ministry where he reflects on Why Mary matters (WOF 22/12/2024) and how the Three Comings of Jesus prepare us for Advent (WOF 2/12/2021).

Why Mary Matters

Bishop Barron looks at some of the Church’s classical titles of Mary. These are not simply pious exclamations, but rather very substantive insights into her role in bringing Christ to birth—both in history and in us today.

Three Comings of Christ Prepare us for Advent

Bishop Barron reflects on how Advent calls to mind three “comings” of Christ: the first in history, the second now, and the third at the end of time. Meditating upon each of these is a helpful preparation for the holy season.
