How to Lose Your Soul (And How to Save It) - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ส.ค. 2020
- Friends, if your soul is rightly ordered, it can handle anything. However, if you gain the world but sacrifice your soul for fame or fortune, you’ve lost everything. Getting this right is the fulcrum upon which the spiritual life turns.

As a longtime protestant fan of Bishop Barron, I have to say - and I don't say this lightly - that this was the best homily/sermon I've heard in a long time. It captures the Gospel perfectly in a way that today's decadent world needs to hear!
A 'prophetic' sermon in this day and age!!!
How many people are seeking to 'gain the world only to lose their souls'? God have Mercy on Us ...
Brilliant Bishop Baron. I wish there were a million people like you
Thank God for the outreach of the Bishop Barron's ministry. It's an engaging intellectual discussion shaped in pure reason that shed's a glowing light on faith as never before.
Amen
A Sunday without a Bishop Barron homily wouldn't be the same!

Thank you Bishop for opening up the scripture readings. You are a true shepherd talking care of the flock.
Thank You Jesus for a Blessing like Bishop Robert Barron.
I watch and listen to this sooo many times🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Awe inspiring homily.
Our catholic priests have been criticized for short homilies/sermons but it’s not the amount of time spent talking but the quality of the content of these short homilies that count.
Your eminence, you speak to our very “soul” in your short homilies that have changed a lot of lives-including mine.
May our holy mother continue to lead you in helping poor sinners like myself back to her Son.-amen.
Thank you Lord for the graces you give to Bishop Barron
From the catalog of the Musee d'Orsay where the painting is on exhibit: "The work is a history painting, regarded as the noblest genre during the 19th century: it therefore had to represent human behaviour and convey a moral message. This was explained by Couture himself, who quoted two lines from the Roman poet Juvenal, (c. 55-c.140 AD) in the catalogue for the 1847 Salon where the painting was exhibited: "More cruel than war, vice fell upon Rome and avenged the conquered world"".
I wonder if history is repeating itself?
The paining looks way too similar to our culture today.
Gracias por siempre enriquecer nuestra vida espiritual con sus excelentes sermones!!!!
Thank you, that might just have saved my life.
This was God's message meant for YOU today. Believe it, and hang on tight. You will be ok. Praying for you.
How are you doing a year later?
One of the best sermons from Bishop Barron. Truely inspiring.
Praise be Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you Bishop Barron.
God bless you alaways.
My grandmother married a moderately wealthy man when I was six in 1958. I remember the California wedding. I also remember how grandma's groom seemed to be the most soulless family member I knew in later years. Everything with him was business. My mother was an only child and died in 1973. That meant an inheritance for us kids when grandma died a year later. Seeing what money did to my grandfather, I waived my inheritance. I had been born again 6 years earlier and preferred to be an obedient "rich" young ruler more than my step grandfather.
The bishop says in this homily, if a soul is rightly ordered it can withstand anything....wealth, fame, etc. Your step grandfather's problem didn't lay in his money, it was in his soul. If your soul is rightly ordered, you should be able to withstand the test of wealth, and use it for God's glory.
No. God lead her not to take that money.
I think I disobeyed and took money.
But it was honestly earned. God was right.
It causes trouble.
This message is desperately needed. I cannot tell you how important is for the moment I am going through now.
Maria, I am also where you are at this time. This message is indeed the one we needed to hear. God's love to you.
Thank you Bishop Barron. So appreciate your weekly homilies and Word on Fire.
One of his best sermon's ever.
From the beginning up until the very last, Bishop Barron speaks all important sentences and they are all beautiful crafted yet ironically very difficult to implement at institutional and personal level.
Thank you for a wonderful homily. This is my treat every Sunday morning.God bless you
The first shall be last, and the last shall be first.
Supreb talk. I have listened to your talks with awe. And now I am applying to become a Deacon. Thanks for the inspiration
May our savior guide you in your journey.
You’re sharing inspires me in turn! God bless you greatly in your becoming a Deacon! 🙏🏼💒
In fact Christ does not support the possibility of an individual obtaining worldly success and not losing his soul. It’s quite clear from the context of the verse he is using that anyone seeking salvation needs to foreswear any kind of material involvement - even that perceived to be needed for provision of essentials.
Salvation is a lonely journey undertaken by the few, and this man is not even calling the many
I really needed that reminder especially at this time of my life when I am taking care of my elderly parents. God Bless you Bishop Barron!
Giving yourself in service for others is Christ-like 😊
Lucy, May God bless you and give you strength. I also cared for both of my parents before they passed. It was the most exhausting, yet rewarding, time of my life. ❤️
Lucy Smyth Good luck to you. I hope you have much support.
God bless and hold you🙏
Listening to you Bishop, I find deep meaning in their lastnames: Rich vs More. Like when the rich young man asked Jesus what good to do to gain eternal life.
1 Timothy 6
@@jonkelley7713 haha thanks :)
@@JamesRichardWiley Smart argument. I went to Mass and I think I have a feedback. Let's discard friends and family who not even in current days would notify the authorities regarding a beloved one, but remain with those who would do it, as a civil duty. To denounce he was wandering you will need evidence. Suppose your sole word was enough. Then there are 2 scenarios for you: either (a) you are telling the authorities they are liars, because they didn't really kill him in front of so many people, or (b) you accept he was dead and now you saw him alive as promised. In this latter scenario you don't denounce, because quite automatically you convert to his teachings.
I think to denounce was not an option. To think it was rumors based on lies, may be an option. But here what astonishes is that it doesn't takes to be as smart as you to requiere evidence, so not to risk the own life for believing in just rumors. And there was people keen to die asserting he was alive. You don't die for fairy tales. So there is something... More.
Articulation of God's love and truth par excellence! All praise and glory to God in Christ! Thank you, Bishop Barron!
So well said bishop . Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us each week.
Thank you Bishop Barron for this inspirational homily. I love to listen to your homilies. You always have such a good message and present it so eloquently.
Thank you Bishop Barron your homilies are always soo rich, enlightening & deep. Very edifying
Beautiful Homily, Bishop. Bravo!
Amazing, amazing sermon!!!!!!
Seeing that she's fully dressed, one could also interpret this painting as an example of a person that is surrounded by the disordered pleasures which our society offers. She is in the situation, yet does not give into them. A matter of fact, her expression shows a complete disinterest. Her soul (clothing), is still in place regardless of the many temptations...
Just another way of interpreting this painting. Thanks for all you do. God bless you Father.
Do you think there is a deeper meaning for why the woman is dressed in white?
Interesting thoughts. I see her expression as her soul, crying out from a weary place, as if she realizes what you very well stated, "the disordered pleasures which our society offers." It's this weary expression but also an understanding of how lifeless these things are.
Very well said, "the disordered pleasures which our society offers." So true.
Two years later, she met some Christians and converted. Then she was disowned by her father and divorced by her husband. She would never see her children again. In fact, her children saw her eaten alive by lions, which led to their conversions as well. They all prayed for their father until he also converted. 😇🙏
This makes more sense to me as an interpretation of the scene because of the woman, alone in her outward gaze, removed from the frolicking and an observer almost, to the debauchery around her. It’s interesting, our perceptions, and that we judge from those perceptions... what is going on inside us, colors our perceptions perhaps.
It is ambiguous. Is she the presiding queen of this picture (her draping might suggest so), or is she an innocent being sucked into vice? The upper part of her is disarrayed. Perhaps her soul is starting to unravel, but she’s not lost it yet - if she had, she wouldn’t notice the horror about her. That’s the definition of having a soul, isn’t it? You cannot shut your eyes and ears to the horror of what’s going on around you.
Our Soul is our isness! Ipse esse......
Thank you Bishop Barron!!
THANK GOD THANK YOU BISHOP BARAN
Every single thing you gain in this life through sinful acts comes from the devil and therefore, consciously or unconsciously, you are selling your soul.
Coward dies many times, but brave dies only once.
Godless people choose indiscriminately anything to gain, totally disregarding who they are hurting. Sadly, there are many Godless Christians/Catholics who aggressively go after whoever they want. Church organized bus trip is a good example. A single woman went after a men who sits next to his wife. Hours talking to this men and then ended up asking his job and phone number toward end of trip!
I was sitting behind that couple. Kindness doesn't mean the person wants to have personal relationship. Why good people become victims of devil's attacks? Because they give impression of being generous to forgive offenders. Be on guard always. Pope John Paul said be careful about people who are loud and aggressive. He was right!
Thank you Bishop Barron. Another brilliant homily. 🙏⛪🏴
Beautiful sermon. I love "A Man for All Seasons", it's my third favorite movie and my favorite movie script. The script really is genius.
These videos have led to extraordinary changes in my life. I started attending Mass on 12/24 with friends and have not missed a week since. I have reached out to my church to learn about RCIA and cannot wait to begin. If someone told me a year ago that I would begin attending Catholic Mass with a strong desire to convert I’d have rolled my eyes and laughed.
I was raised in an evangelical home but all I saw was hypocrisy and when I left home I left church in my rearview mirror. I have tried other churches since. I was even the music director for a blended service at a Methodist church for three years. When they cancelled the blended service there was nothing there for me to hold onto.
Awesome testimony! Word on Fire is asking for video testimonies now if you are interested!
If you're looking in to Catholicism and think it might be the path for you, check out some of these books. They will help deepen your knowledge and understanding the faith more than RCIA will.

One of the best homilies ! What a wondrous Gift . Deo Gratias 🙏🕊️🙏
Just so inspiring.Love listening to all your daily homilies, especially on Sundays.God bless you dear Bishop! 🙏
Had to go look at the painting. You are right! There is also on the far right of the canvas a man with his head down in despair and another man looking dead on at you with such sadness. Yes it looks like great sadness in a wild party.
What is the painting called?

God bless you bishop Barron for this profound homily I will make sure to send it to many meanwhile I will pray that it will reach their soul🙏
Wonderful teachings . Praise be
I wish to be God's instrument of love.
Stunning homily by Bishop Robert Barron. The essence of this sermon is the fundamental truth that Jah Jesus Christus outlined.
The greatness of a person is not measured by what they have acquired and amassed. Whether it be honor, fame, educational laurels, wealth, friends, lovers etc.
It is determined by what they have dispensed and disposed of in love and service to others i.e. charity, aid, assistance, genuine advice.
It explains why many great artists and stars suffer from depression and turn to drugs, pedophilia and suicide.
I agree. Fr John Anthony Hardon S.J, taught that we must follow Our Blessed Mothers example by living in charity, chastity, humility, and love of the Cross. Ave Maria. ☘☘☘
Thanks, again for a wonderful homily. I look forward to these, each week. God bless you.
❤ Jesus forever!
Thank you so much. Everlasting love and life to you and yours. B/ HEME The SACRED 🦋👑👑
This is one to listen to daily, one of the best! Thank you Bishop Barron❤
Bishop Barron: Your homily has encouraged me to watch "Man of All Seasons" again. I know that this time it will have much more meaning for me. Thank you. Mary W.
Every dialogue Thomas Moore character speaks is very important. You will enjoy more.
U r nice I can tell

Siempre gracias Monseñor!! 🙏🏻
These Sunday Sermons are wonderful! My parish priest recycles homilies he purchased about 30 years ago, shortly after he was ordained. He has been with us for over four years, so we're getting our own reruns these days. I'm fine that he uses someone else's writings. Writing isn't one of his gifts. I do wish he would get something more current. Thank you, Bishop Barron, for recording and publishing these teachings. They are a great resource, especially for those of us in the country with few options.
Still come back to this one - my favorite sermon so far - you've helped ignite a radical realization in my thinking and faith. THANK YOU BISHOP BARRON!
Thank you again Bishop Barron. Looking back at your videos ❤

Dios bendiga al obispo Barron y a todos sus siervos.
Teach me the Blessed Lord's humility. I wish to like Him.

A comprehensive explanatory of the Gospel chapter. Bishop Baron always bring the Gospel message not just for Americans, but for the whole world. Simple and magnificent. Thank God for his kind and pray for more blessing in his ministry. God bless you
Indeed...
Thank you Bishop Barron , a lesson I needed to learn 🙏🏻💚
Some magnificent insights here, one of the best sermons ever!
I believe Bishop to address the youths question about God is to tell them that they have a Soul, which is Supernatural and then all discussions will stem from that. Then the reality of Death then in their minds they will ask the question, how then will I always be prepared? God bless Bishop you are my spiritual director across the miles.
God bless you Bishop Barron for helping us save out souls.
Absolutely….. ground zero.. ‘life compass’ ….religious sermon. All the action ….. is in the soul. All your sermons are beautifully constructed and are so wonderful to listen to…this one was REALLY well done…. St. Thomas More…what a beautiful universal story…
everyone can relate …..
What a blessing xxx
thank you for this. it helps me put my enemy (my x husnand, his sister, his lover and his money) in persoective.
That was wonderful. Thank you, Bishop.
And also with you, Peace be with you Bishop Baron
Bishop Barron, this was a very moving sermon/homily. Your passion for God and is love is always evident when speaking about the Trinity. Your words never fail to inspire me to keep going, to keep moving, to keep hanging on. God bless you, Shalom. ✝️🇨🇦
Amen. Thank you, again.
Bishop you have a gift like none other, thank you for sharing and please continue your great ministry

Empty your body and give everything to other in need. The Way, The Truth, The Life. Jesus gave us the guidance for Eternal Life
Go Bishop go!🎉
Father - Bishop - I was there, but was lucky enough to see the light and repent, reform, rediscover my Catholicism fervently. I pray there is some type of holy parole for those who were like me but did not survive, and died young, before they could figure all this out and repent. I wonder.... Thank you for a great video
Grand.
Wonderful reflection!
Thanks Bishop Barron, Love your Sermon. God Bless you. Amen
Richie RICH... went away sad like the "rich young man" in the Gospel😞 , and it turns out that Thomas MORE really did have more... life, joy, respect , and eternal life. 🕊
A good movie about redemption is The Verdict. When Paul Newman does not take the money to throw the trial. He had nothing, but he regained his soul.
A brilliant talk here, Bishop Barron. I really enjoy listening to you. I hear many people in the church (and the secular world, certainly) of today speak with a palpable (if "well" hidden) anger and aggression, and it makes a lot of what they are saying (hello Jordan Peterson) unappetizing and strangely hollow. Even if they mean well (which I think most people do), it's polarizing in a bad way. Us vs. them, etc.....You speak of these truths in a way that is simple yet profound, and not confrontational. And your heart is open while you do so (the key). I am a Roman Catholic Christian believer, so your words hit home, but I can share your message with a Pagan friend who will still be open to what you have to say, and learn. That is a gift, Bishop. And we need that very much in our world today. :) JV Johnny
@John Henry McMahon Totally agree with you.
Wonderful. Thanks Bishop Baron.
Thank you 😇🙏❤God bless you
Wonderful sermon! Thanks
