Pray, Serve, Evangelize - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

Friends, the Gospel of Mark is a fascinating literary work. St. Mark seems to write in a breathless, staccato, even primitive manner, but the deeper you look, the more his Gospel appears iconic. He presents scene after scene in a very concentrated way, telling us some rather deep truths about the faith. Our Gospel for today from the first chapter is a good example of this. We see on clear display here what Pope Benedict described as the three essential tasks of the Church: it worships God, it serves the poor, and it evangelizes.
Mass Readings:

Psalm - Ps 147:1-2, 3-4, 5-6
Reading 2 - 1 Cor 9:16-19, 22-23
Gospel - Mk 1:29-39

Heavenly Father it is only because of your grace that I can continue to keep going. I trust in you. Once I became a christian my family turned their backs on me. I have no one to turn to but you Jesus. Being a single mother, raising two children on the spectrum is not easy I am overwhelmed I’m constantly struggling to pay bills. Struggling to buy groceries. I still don’t have my rent for this month I’m scared Lord please carry me through this difficult time.

Marvelous! It touches deeply in the hear of lay guys like me. As a Father and husband I should do the same thing: pray, serve and evangelize. Always “con Il Signore”! That’s an obligation upon lay people to his family. Surely, not an easy one, ‘cause I’m a sinner. But I think that you, @Bishop Barron, really had the whole Church in mind. God bless you 🙏

If evangelizing means announcing the Good News of God to the whole world, then the Good News is Universal and therefore Catholic! Thank you for this Saint Ignatius of Antioch (year 35-107), disciple of John the last apostle still alive at that time. Thank you Monsignor Barron for this instruction emanating from the Pope through the power of our 3x Holy God! May he keep you and those around you forever!

I've been blessed to be alone most of the time. This solitude allows me to pray prayers I've memorized almost constantly. I'm grateful for prayer to be having a healing affect upon skepticism. So much weight has fallen away. 🙏 I was praying the Liturgy of the Hours when I came across an interesting notion. It said something about helping transgressors see their error in thought. Maybe I need to pray on this 🙏does evangelization connect to this notion? Psalm 51 "Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. 13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you. 14 Save me from bloodguilt, O God, the God who saves me, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness."

Dearest Bishop Barron, My purpose of praise and worship in my life is related to singing raising my hands dancing, and praying. It's to create an intimate connection between me and the Lord Jesus Christ by allowing Him to speak directly to my heart which draws me nearer to Him. The closer I drew, the more mercy and compassion I felt toward everyone around me, even those who were hard to love. God gives peace to my soul, peace from the burden of my sins, and peace amid the burdens that come to me through others' sins. Every time I pray, I always feel the presence of God, even in my evangelization as I bring the good news of Jesus Christ. And for the salvation of the souls, especially those who haven't experienced volunteering services from their congregation or community and have zero faith in action. The holy Gospel and the Bible scripture unashamedly declare that God is after the glory of his name and I desire to see God's glorification as well. Bishop, I have been praying for you and all the priests because, without you and the priest in our parish, I wouldn't be experiencing God's presence in the sacraments. Please, pray for Father Raj and the Dregers family. God bless you all. St. Joseph, pray for us. Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us. Jesus, I trust in You!!!

Unless our attention is to God. Focusing on the Highest. Because he draws out your highest focus, aspirations, hopes, and dreams. I have a hard time with formal prayer lately but I know it’s good! I talk to God throughout my day and I bring him to mind. I even have conversations where he talks to me. I know that sounds a little strange but I believe He, and the purgatorial souls, the children in heaven, and the angels direct my life. I know I’m a little crazy but I do try, and I do want, to help people. Maybe Christ does His actions through me. Not all of them, of course, and I usually don’t say anything, but I think He’s got great things in store. I’m starting to regain my health. I had a fungus filled humidifier that was affecting my health for decades. But now I’m starting to think clearer. I finally found what was affecting my health, I believe, but I need time to recover. God Bless.
