How to Heal a Broken Relationship - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon

Friends, forgiveness is about bearing the burden of the other-what justice requires them to carry, you carry for them. How we forgive others is tied tightly to God's forgiveness of us. If the Lord gives you grace in seventy times seventy ways, you must mirror the same for the brother or sister who offends you. Criticize another person only in the measure that you're willing to help them deal with the problem you're raising.

@@BishopBarron Forgiveness is at the heart of healing... We cannot begin to heal as human being spiritually or otherwise without being prepared to forgive. My family are in the midst of so much non forgiveness and punishment, it has torn the family apart for over 20 years, it began to heal a few years ago and last week, Satan has a grip of my so called Catholic family... Please pray for my family, I am piggy in the middle, talking to both sides but not attempting to intervene, Our Lord I pray for understanding and forgiveness 🙏❤️

It's time to stop using the name of Christ for your personal gain. It's time to adore Christ truly in the most Holy Sacrament. It's time to bring Christ into the world with faith, hope, and love. Amen.

Each piece of anger, each piece of desire for revenge are like rocks you carry in a sack on your back. Over time, the sack fills up and becomes heavy and heavier - but we don’t realize it until one day we boil over. Carrying those rocks of anger and revenge in the sack weighs us down in ways we do not acknowledge until we look inside the sack. Then, consider throwing that sack of ‘rocks’ at the foot of the cross and truly saying “Here, I give you all of these, with your help I will be free of each one.” You will find a new sense of freedom. And, then you must do your part, to forgive or ask for forgiveness - then you will have done your part. Just don’t go back and get one of those rocks!

It is harder to forgive depending on the hurt. Someone may have abused us or something very horrible. Another priest said forgiveness does not mean to resume a relationship. The evil may still be there. Pray for the person and do not be a victim. The offender usually does not want help. Pray for them! Hurt feelings are far from someone badly abusing a person.

@micranley9880 3 жыл бұрын

I think we all would agree...including BB... if there's abuse or ongoing mistreatment, and you've been able to separate from the unrepentant perpetrator, you're not encouraged to resume the toxic relationship, but rather, seize God's grace to forgive them in your heart everytime you recall the pain and pray for them, asking God to forgive them and work out their repentance and conversion so they too will be saved. Often we need to ask first for the desire to forgive... It's something we will, not usually feel... A choice, not a feeling - like love.

Yet another homily by #BishopRobertBarron 's homily's bring's tears to my eyes! Thank you! I remember a homily a few years back where the Sister Mary said at a retreat she was told to think about each time she had been hurt and was still angry about it. For each time, she had to put a stone in a sack. Then, for the entire weekend, she had to carry the sack with the stones every place that she went. When she went to each lunch, the sack was next to her, when she went to the ladies room, it was on the floor next to her. Should she forget it someplace, she would have to rush back to retrieve it because she had to have it by the end of the weekend. Sister Mary said it was an incredible experience in what carrying a grudge really does to you.

@kerrieshin1062 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you Bishop Barron. Forgiveness is very difficult when the other person is not sorry, refuses to even consider that what they did was hurtful and continues to hurt you. I sometimes have to pray to want to forgive and pray for God to just take that poisonous feeling out of my heart because I'm incapable of overcoming it on my own. I have also found it sometimes best to forgive but not to maintain a relationship with someone who continues to speak and act without love.

@kerrieshin1062 3 жыл бұрын

@@alwaysbekindlove but after I wrote this, I thought that God always seeks to maintain a relationship with us no matter how hurtful we are. I think in a case of someone's ongoing cruelty, it's best to speak with a priest in confession about the unique dangers and difficulties in each individual experience of a broken relationship.

A beautiful sermon with insightful advise. As I listened, I thought of Blake's poem, "The Poison Tree." I was angry with my friend, I told my wrath; my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe. I told it not; my wrath did grow. And I watered it in fears, night in morning with my tears. And I stunned it with smiles, and with soft deceitful wiles. And it grew both day and night, till it bore an apple bright, and my foe beheld it shine, and he knew that it was mine. And into my garden stole when the night had veiled the pole. In the morning glad I see my foe outstretched beneath the tree. You are so right, Bishop Baron! How destructive is unchecked anger! How beautiful the gift of forgiveness, which we discover in God's love for us through Christ,

Making amends to another is not about how they react; it is my way of building a bridge. I cannot control their reaction. And when someone comes to me and says "I'm sorry for ...", it is important, when I am ready to do so, to close the 'forgiveness loop' by saying "I forgive you."

There are times when you find out too late that you are dealing with someone with serious mental health issues that are far beyond your pay grade to deal with, and it was not a healthy relationship from the start. It is, therefore, very unhealthy for them as well as you to continue to attempt to pursue any relationship at all. Forgiveness is not so much restoring relationships that were never healthy or "letting them off the hook" for the pain they have caused as it is "letting go of their throat" and letting go of your own desire to be justified or "right". Pray for them, that they receive blessing and everything they need from God, and do not harbor resentment in your heart. However, unless they receive help for their illness wherein a healthy relationship could then finally happen, it is best to let them go in God's hands.

Hey Bishop Barron! Thank you for this very powerful message. It cut right to the quick for me. In my own life certainly, but also in our current world with the endless demonizing of "the one who is not like me!" This message would best be taken daily! I can see this clinging to the unhealthy abuse at the hands of my deceased father. It comes up in waves like a spring, and turns into resentment if I let it. Like a drop of ink in a huge tub of clear water, polluting it all. I thank God for the awareness and willingness to work on myself and change, as difficult as that often is. And accept what was, and what is. Anyways, thanks for your wisdom and eloquence. God bless you all here. :) JV Johnny

After viewing this sermon I am quite convicted deep inside to go forgive my mother whom I often have arguments with. I also feel like my bad relationship with my mother is making it hard for my father... but sometimes I just don’t know what to do. My mother and I have quite incompatible personalities and I just don’t even know how to begin, partially because it gets very awkward very quickly but also because I really don’t know what my mother is looking for when I attempt to forgive. I’ve also never read the Book of Sirach as a non-Catholic, but from what I’ve heard today it sounds to be filled with wisdom, so thank you for sharing, Bishop.

I am reading a book called “Oneing: An Alternative Orthodoxy - Anger,” published by Fr Richard Rohr’s Center for Action and Contemplation in which various authors, including Richard Rohr in the Introduction, argue that there are times and situations when anger (but not out-of-control, abusive anger or violence) is not only an understandable response but actually even a necessary one. They argue that the rush to forgiveness in some cases, is even harmful, and that we need a way to channel and reconcile our anger with our faith.

Bishop Barron draws from his intelligence, education, pastoral mission, and common sense to reveal a better path on which we all must follow. There are so many times spiritual leaders advise us not from their own experiences but from their reading of scripture. Bishop Barron reveals himself in sermons telling us we, all of us together battle Satan each day.
