| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Word on Fire show. I'm Brandon Vot the host and the content director |
| 0:12.6 | here at Word on Fire Catholic Ministries. We are joined by his ex-Lincy Bishop Robert |
| 0:18.0 | Barron. Bishop Barron, good to be with you. Brandon, always a joy to be with you. How you doing? |
| 0:22.8 | Good. How are you doing? You've been traveling all over the place from the Vatican to Washington, |
| 0:27.2 | B.C. What's going on in your life these days? Partially with you. I was over there for Ash |
| 0:33.2 | Wednesday and then I got an honorary doctorate from the Angelica and gave a paper which is a great |
| 0:37.7 | joy for me. Next day I was part of a symposium on secularism that was run by a father Thomas Joseph |
| 0:44.4 | White who's an old friend who's now over at the Angelica and Rome. And then I toured through some |

| 1:36.8 | do confirmations all after Easter. But I've got 11 I think before Easter and then I've got I don't know |
| 1:42.5 | 35 or something after Easter. So we start soon. And in fact I was saying to my Deacon it seems |
| 1:48.8 | like we just finished the confirmation season. And I've given, oh, you know, I mean obviously |
| 1:55.6 | dozens and dozens of homilies. But like four or five basic forms. I got to come up with a new one |
| 2:01.5 | now for this year. So anyway, that's coming up soon. You got to get your face muscles ready for all |
| 2:06.0 | those pictures. I know you told me it just physically hurts by the end. The single most challenging part |
