Friends, as Christians, we are anointed; we stand in the great line that goes back to King David and comes up through Jesus, the anointed one. How wonderful it is that in so many sacraments, anointing is involved. May our anointing run to the ends of our garments and then out into the world for its transformation. ———VIDEO LINKS——— Fr Mike Schmitz, Good News Conference 2022: https://youtu.be/XuNYgicVvZ0 Priests, Prophets, and Kings — Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon: https://youtu.be/F0LmwVuVJB0 With All Her Mind - An Interview with Rachel Bulman: https://youtu.be/TYgKKR8f4KA ———WATCH——— Subscribe to this Channel: https://bit.ly/31LV1sn Word on Fire Institute Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@word-on-fire Word on Fire en Español Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WOF-es ———WORD ON FIRE——— Word on Fire: https://www.wordonfire.org/ Word on Fire Español: https://www.wordonfire.org/es/ FREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): https://dailycatholicgospel.com/ ———WORD ON FIRE INSTITUTE——— Join Bishop Barron and over 20,000 evangelists inside the Word on Fire Institute at https://wordonfire.institute ———SOCIAL MEDIA——— Bishop Barron Instagram: https://bit.ly/2Sn2XgD Bishop Barron Facebook: https://bit.ly/2Sltef5 Bishop Barron Twitter: https://bit.ly/2Hkz6yQ Word on Fire Instagram: https://bit.ly/39sGNyZ Word on Fire Facebook: https://bit.ly/2HmpPpW Word on Fire Twitter: https://bit.ly/2UKO49h Word on Fire en Español Instagram: https://bit.ly/38mqofD Word on Fire en Español Facebook: https://bit.ly/2SlthaL Word on Fire en Español Twitter: https://bit.ly/38n3VPt ———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE——— Help Bishop Barron continue to produce videos like this: https://bit.ly/3QSvGpo Word on Fire Store: https://bookstore.wordonfire.org/ Pray: https://bit.ly/2vqU7Ft
