    Father's Day - One Minute with Bishop Burbidge

    At Father's Day we celebrate and honor those men who have profoundly and positively shaped our lives, in ways large and small. Many of us are fortunate to have had a father who has been a caring, loving, and trustworthy companion, protector, and provider in our lives. We give thanks to fathers for their goodness and their willingness to humbly and heroically model for us the virtues that lead to true happiness. All of us can benefit by reflecting on the witness of St. Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus and ultimate role model for men and especially fathers. We may all emulate his generosity, humility, self-sacrifice, faith, and obedience. May the Lord bless our fathers, living and deceased, this Father's Day and always.

    Filled with the Spirit to Proclaim the Truth - One Minute with Bishop Burbidge

    Filled with the Spirit, Sacred scripture tells us that the apostles proclaimed God's Word with "boldness." The Lord challenges us and equips us to share the Good News with all. We are called to be bold! The Lord wants us to courageously speak the truth in love, with conviction, sincere humility, and a spirit of gentleness, remembering that "boldness" does not mean "harshness." We cherish our constitutional right to the free expression of religion in America, but how often do we shy away from truly expressing our beliefs—from sharing the Good News? May nothing, including possible resistance and rejection from others, deter us from proudly professing our faith. We have the Truth! So, why be afraid of speaking it—boldly, courageously, and always lovingly.

    Obeying God rather than men - One Minute with Bishop Burbidge

    The first of the Ten Commandments states, "You shall have no other gods before me." Each of us experience the temptation to "worship idols" in our own lives any time that we feel the urge to heed the commands or expectations of the world. God should be the center of our attention and concern—not empty appeals of celebrities, political figures, or other worldly figures. We belong to Christ and are called to reject empty priorities and follow God's ways and commands. Under the threat of death, Peter and the Apostles said: "We must obey God rather than men." Inspired by their courage and example, may we reject the untruths and empty promises of the world. Instead, may we follow God's ways and the Joy of the Gospel, no matter the cost.

    Memorial Day - One Minute with Bishop Burbidge

    Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer for many of us, with family vacations and backyard barbeques on our minds. Memorial Day is a time to reflect prayerfully on our U.S. military service members, on the tremendous gift of their service to our nation in preserving our constitutional way of life and our rights and freedoms which allow us to pursue the happiness that comes by living lives of virtue. May we honor all those men and women who bravely served and who surrendered their very lives in military service throughout our history, including in present times. Today and always, may we honor the fallen who have freely gone to their eternal rest, and who ensured that we remain one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

    By faith, your life can be transformed for the better - One Minute with Bishop Burbidge

    The people who touched the cloak of Jesus believed in his power to heal them, and he did. Sacred scripture recounts many who were healed because of their faith in the Lord, whom they knew could change their lives for the better. Our Lord continues to invite us to approach him with faith, for he longs to heal our infirmities, forgive our sins, relieve our distress, and ease our burdens. Try not to be discouraged amid crosses and burdens, for we can never lose hope in the Lord's power to heal us and transform our lives physically, spiritually, and emotionally in ways we cannot imagine. Today, pray for the grace to persevere in faith and with trust in the Lord's healing love and saving power.

    #174: Anticipating Pope Leo XIV's First Encyclical

    On this episode of Walk Humbly, Bishop Burbidge unpacks the recent priest convocation with clergy from across the diocese and shares more on their main topic of discussion—artificial intelligence. Hear Bishop speak publicly for the first time in earnest on the technology everyone's talking about, while we await and welcome Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical with joy.  The new diocesan clergy assignments are here — how do such changes come to be? Bishop elaborates on how the process works.  Bishop Burbidge also offers commentary on a new website with a pro-life focus: moms.gov. He also previews a critical campaign to combat two Virginia state constitutional amendments on the ballot this fall—one that would enshrine a radical pro-abortion culture in the Commonwealth, and one that would further threaten marriage.  Finally, hear Bishop Burbidge answers a listener question: Bishop, I read that a new edition of the Liturgy of the Hours is coming out soon and will be available from Ascension and Word on Fire. As I understand it, priests are expected to say the liturgy of the hours every day. I am a layman but interested in trying it out. Can you give me guidance on how to get started and hopefully make this kind of prayer a habit?"  Walk Humbly welcomes listener questions for Bishop Burbidge. Call or text (703) 778-9100 anytime with your question. Connect with Walk Humbly and Bishop Burbidge by texting WALKHUMBLY to 84576 for occasional alerts and updates.

    "It is I, do not be afraid!"- One Minute with Bishop Burbidge

    Amid the "stormy waters" we are experiencing in these turbulent times, Jesus speaks to us: "It is I, do not be afraid!" He who walked on the sea and calmed the winds is in our midst and will lead us to brighter days. In him, we find serenity. So, surrender any fear and have faith! The Lord invites us to place our trust completely in him. When we ask God for help and the graces necessary to stay strong amid the challenges and burdens of daily life, we will find that he equips us with all that we need each day. He will ease our fears and anxieties and bring calmness and serenity into our lives. No wonder he says: "It is I—do not be afraid!"
