Bishop Robert Barron believes that Easter should not be tamed or commercialized, and instead emphasizes the importance of God's love.

Bishop Robert Barron delivers a powerful message about the transformative significance of Easter.

"Easter has been domesticated, says Barron, which is one of the worst things we can do as it turned everything upside down, just like a revolution or an earthquake."

Word On Fire Catholic Ministry is a popular creation of bestselling author Barron.

He was the auxiliary bishop for the Los Angeles Archdiocese before becoming the bishop of the diocese of Winona-Rochester in Minnesota.

Barron's mission is to guide younger generations in their faith development, as he did for actor Shia Labeoff, who became Catholic under his mentorship.

Barron aims to assist older generations who may view religion as a mere tradition and ritual rather than a personal and ongoing relationship with Jesus Christ.

"The route to happiness is not filling up the ego … It's emptying out the ego. It's letting go."

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation of Christianity. Without it, there would be no Christmas, Pentecost, saints, or New Testament with its four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, all testifying to Jesus' life, ministry, death, and resurrection.

According to the Apostle Paul, if Christ did not rise from the dead, then our preaching is pointless and so is your faith (I Corinthians 15:14).

"God's love is more powerful than anything that's in the world."

Easter should not be domesticated, according to Barron, as it is one of the worst things we can do.

Meaning — to make it only about the fun.

To understand the significance of Easter, Barron suggests focusing on the mindset of first century Palestine, where it was a monumental event that altered the course of human history.

"According to Barron, Easter signifies the brutal death of someone by the powers of hatred, cruelty, violence, and oppression. However, God raised this person from the dead, which demonstrates that God's love is stronger than any force in the world."

In a time of growing ideological conflict among Roman Catholic bishops and between some bishops and Pope Francis, Barron is viewed as the voice of reason.

"Let Easter be Easter. So don't let it be domesticated. Don't let it be co-opted. Rediscover the radical reality of Easter."

Bishop Joseph Strickland was removed from his position as bishop of Tyler, Texas, by Francis late last year.

Strickland stated that his purpose was to "speak the truth of our Catholic faith and issue warnings against anything that threatened it."

The Vatican signaled its disapproval of Pope Francis's criticisms and leadership style through various means.

Barron has not been an enthusiastic supporter of Pope Francis, but he has not been a fierce critic either. He is advocating for the gospel during the Lenten season.

Barron's article, "Let Lent Be Lent," is filled with unbridled fury over a recent disco rave that took place in Canterbury Cathedral in England, as part of the church's outreach to younger generations.

Barron sarcastically remarked, "It's great that the cathedral's present-day managers are okay with a disco breaking out near the spot where one of England's greatest saints sacrificed his life for the faith."

He's fighting for the gospel that the Lenten season helps illuminate.

The purpose of cathedrals is not to be experienced according to our own preferences.

Neither should we make that same mistake with Easter, he indicated.

Easter involves proclaiming "The Lord is Risen!" at dawn on Sunday and replying, "He has risen indeed!"

And because of that, all life is forever changed.

The old world of sin and death is gradually losing its dominance as we embrace the power of the new "revolution" that is taking place.

Barron, a history student, likens Easter to the "Norvus ordo seclorum" phrase from the Enlightenment, which translates to "New Order of the Ages" in Latin.

The Great Seal of the United States has the words on its reverse side.

The Young Rabbi was put to death on a grimy little hill outside Jerusalem, but God raised Him from the dead.

That, he stated, is the new era of time. That's what Easter signifies.
