Something New Is Coming Very Soon!
"In many ways, I think the Word on Fire ministry is already developing into a movement. What I want to do now is get the movement off the ground, something that involves both lay people and priests, and take that vision wider."

THE 8 PRINCIPLES OF THE WORD ON FIRE MOVEMENT
Principle 1: Unwavering Christocentrism
This lesson will zero in on the most fundamental of the eight principles: Unwavering Christo-centrism.
We might call this the “hinge” principle of the future Word on Fire Movement.
“Everything revolves around and returns to Christ, so relationships, theology, politics, art, philosophy—all find their center in Christ.” - Bishop Barron
THE 8 PRINCIPLES OF THE WORD ON FIRE MOVEMENT
Principle 2: Evangelization of the Culture
Many Christians today have come to recognize the current cultural milieu as post-Christian.
This may in fact be true, yet the intention of the future Word on Fire Movement is not to avoid the secular culture, but to be present to it and proclaim Christ to its adherents from within.

Principle 3: Special Commitment to New Media
Because of advances in the internet, wireless communications, and social media, the Gospel today can be propagated more widely and efficiently than ever before.
“Word on Fire is committed to new and emerging technologies, seeing them as powerful vehicles to connect with people far from Christ and the Church.” -Bishop Barron
THE 8 PRINCIPLES OF THE WORD ON FIRE MOVEMENT
Principle 4: Rootedness in the Mystical Body
The Word on Fire missionary project has always relied on the intercession of the saints and angels.
Thus, as the saints continue to be foundational in the spiritual life of Bishop Barron, so also should they be in our individual interior lives as we too respond to the universal call to holiness.

Stay Tuned This September For More on the 8 Principles of the future Word on Fire Movement...
Over the past few years, you may have heard Bishop Barron speaking of the need for a movement made up of both priests and laypeople who together share a common spirituality and possess the same vision of evangelizing the modern culture from within.
The first major step of realizing Bishop Barron’s idea of a movement is to establish a place of collective formation and community online.
This “place” is the new Word on Fire Institute (WOFI).
The first step in becoming a member of the WOFI is familiarizing oneself with the ethos that undergirds the whole Word on Fire evangelical project.
Thus, throughout September, we will be posting several short videos on the principles of the future Word on Fire Movement.
All 8 videos will feature the Director of the Word on Fire Institute, Jared Zimmerer, and are intended to equip you with a deeper understanding of the “essence” of the Word on Fire missionary project, and where it is intended to go from here as a future Catholic movement with you as part of it.
Make sure to join the waiting list so that you don't miss any of these videos this September!
