God Has Spoken; Are You Listening? - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Рет қаралды 276,750
Күн бұрынFriends, our first reading and our Gospel today are about the word of God, both from God’s side as he speaks, and then from our side as we receive. God has spoken through creation, the prophets, the Scriptures-and, in the fullness of time, the very Word of God. If you open your mind and heart to the power of God’s word, it will change you.

At one time I was what is called a ‘fallen away’ Catholic. I picked up the Bible one day and began reading. In particular, the Gospels had a profound effect on me. I was never the same. I realized who Jesus is and what He had done for me. I looked at creation in a new way. Since those days many years ago I have devoted myself to parish ministries. I tell everyone the Bible is alive! God bless you, Bishop Barron!

For a long time I didn't want to hear the Word of God for the basest of reasons, I liked sinning and I didn't want anyone or anything to put a damper on that. When you get to the heart of it with a lot of people that is what is going on. The Word of God tells us sin is wrong and the wages is death. When you're engaging in hedonistic acts you don't want to hear that, especially when deep down you know it's true. But salvation is there for all who seek it, for everyone who humbles themselves, repents, and does their best to sin no more, because they don't want to. It really is that simple. We're the ones who make the whole thing difficult.

Bishop, you were just plain ol' Father Barron when my son 'suggested'--well, it was more than that, but said with loving and compelling authority--that I listen to you on KZfaq and just like that, I came back to the Church through the incredible gift of the Sacrament of Penance and the welcome of a parish that (a) had a parking lot and (b) somehow seemed to have a congregation that didn't chatter in the pews until the entrance procession. And I've listened to you ever since because yeah, the initial high fades a bit; my parish has not disappointed but now I'm sitting in the same pew with sons and their wives and a bunch of tiny noisy little grandkids, so further reflection on the gospel of day is welcome and needed. God bless you, Bishop.

What a great sermon, thank you! 🙏 It's funny because I was just thinking the other day about how sad I am sometimes as a former protestant who has retained some great things about my former experience, that there does seem to be a sort of drastic underemphasis on the Word of God at times amongst Catholics. I'm glad that you touched up on that Bishop Barron, because I think that sometimes, even as well meaning human beings, we tend to get baited into these polemic arguments and Catholics are almost afraid that if they show any enthusiasm whatsoever about this precious gift of the word of God that they will be somehow conceding that protestants are right about everything. We need to stop caring about how we think we'll look in front of men and women, and start caring a whole lot more about how we look in God's eyes! The Divine Word is one of the most precious gifts that The Lord has given us and we need to embrace it as such! God Bless you Bishop, and thanks again for leading us 😄

Bishop Barron mentioned that preaching needs to improve in the Catholic Church. I believe he is right, but we are expecting sermons to entertain us today more than anything else. I also believe that sermons no longer challenge us because people will immediately head for the door. We want that 10-15 minute period once a week to entertain us rather than allowing it to change our lives for the good. We hear it but we don't want to cooperate with it or let it challenge us or change us. It is not always exciting! It is not meant to be entertaining! If we let it do in us what it is meant to do, we would have no problem hearing it and we would, in fact, look forward to hearing it as often as possible. God bless you Bishop Barron!

When I heard this today in Mass, my reaction was that I feel so weak. I am the seed the falls on rock and in the thorn (the ANXIETY, the other hard life issues I am dealing with is taking up my thoughts, a legal case at the moment for the last 4 years). Also, I don't know how to have the Words, how do I know who to tell the Word to? There are 3 persons in my life who I am passionate about getting them to choose God. 2 of them won't have it. I don't mind losing my relationship with them by telling them what I believe they need to know. That being a 'nice' person doesn't cut it. You have to choose God. I don't possess the gifts of the spirit either it seems. Some say I do and other days it just doesn't seem like that. I don't really know how to deliver the Word with the Love Jesus tells us to, in the way that will have the right outcome. I think it would turn them away if anything. Example, it appears many assume that just being a good person, that God being merciful will accept them into heaven. My understanding is a murderer who believes Jesus is their Savior, who repents, who CHOOSES God has a better chance to get into heaven than the a 'nice' person who always does the right thing but never chooses God. Of course I would not say, "choose God or go to hell." But sometimes, in my passion it could come across that way. I will pray for the words, the spirit of Love, the gifts of the spirit and how to explain the importance of being in relationship WITH God.

Thank you for the CREATIVE POWER of GOD's WORD as spoken through you, Bishop Barron. It reminds me of Samuel, of the Hebrew Scriptures, who responds to the LORD on the 4th call, "Speak; for thy servant heareth." (1Samuel 3:10, KJV) Hearing the "Seed/WORD" proclaimed by you, may we respond to go forth as the "good seed" ourselves. Thank you again.

There is a saying, I can't remember who said it, But it goes something like, "God is the Giver, AND God is the Gift, humans are here to prove it." Its a beautiful saying.

God bless you, Bishop Barron, as you weekly scatter the seed of God's word to the culture through your weekly sermons. As I listened to today's sermon I thought about one plant from my garden that was started from seed but ran out of room to place in the garden. While all the other plants are flourishing from daily needs being met, this little guy, though getting water, is just barely surviving. I failed this plant greatly by not sharing it with another gardener to be properly developed.

I feel the parable of the sower personally. Raised in a non-practicing family. I received some word but little teaching. Then hardship and the world took over and I was like the seed in the thorns. Pleasure was the way to replace an absent father, the way to fill the lack of affection of my youth. I never realized what happiness was until I cleared away the brush and finally saw the light. The word has been filling my emptiness with HIS love. Thanks in no small part to Your Excellency. ❤️

A wonderful sermon again! The word of God is not only creative but super influential. After accepting Christ I was changed as a person, treating people differently and thinking differently. Life with Christ has been totally different, from the way I act and treat people to my everyday thoughts that flow through my mind. God changes you for sure. The way you talked about it makes me feel better, because a lot of people make fun of me for my ideals or tell me I need to be less forgiving but this is just confirmation that I am doing the correct thing. I like to forgive a lot of people and take care of people even if they don't do it in return. It's great to know I'm on the right track, I love the line God's word is creative. As for the parabole I’ve experienced it firsthand. A lot of my friends have heard only segments of the word or will visit church a few times then get uninterested. Hoping to bring a few of them back to church when I get the chance. There must be a deeper note that will strike eventually. It’s hard to say but yes some churches are better than others and especially catering towards younger generations would help too. I'm excited to hopefully bring a few friends back to the right walk of life.

Bishop Barron thank you for your words today;they always arrest time and touch the soul! I also love Van Gogh and the bedroom at Arles painting I have and love for a different reason than the obvious thoughts given by Sister Wendy.Such humble beginnings are worth millions! Final thought: "The more I examine the universe and study the details of its architecture,the more evidence I find that the universe in some sense must have known that we were coming." Freeman Dyson I did see one of 3 of this painting at the Musee D'Orsay in Paris!
