Your Life is Not About You - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon

- Friends, there’s only one real sadness in life-not to be a saint. But what does it mean to follow this path of righteousness? To follow the will of God, and God wills that we habitually direct our actions and thoughts to the good of others. Jesus says blessed are the merciful, the peacemakers, the pure in heart. Following Christ’s Sermon on the Mount leads to our beatitude; living in this way leads to sainthood.

Thank you Bishop Barron - I really like your messages even though I’m not Catholic. They are logical, very well thought through and encourage my spiritual growth. You have no idea how important your videos are in my spiritual walk.
Same ! i respect my catholic brothers and grow from these type of vids at times.
We invite you to join the Catholic Church....
And just like that ad campaign for rye bread that ran something like this, "You don't have to be Jewish to enjoy Levy's Real Jewish Rye bread".....you don't have to be Catholic to hear and understand God's word!
@@nelsonphilip4520 in the Catholic Church the word of God is proclaimed and received fully and faithfully... if you have not yet, now and always is the best time to join. Welcome home!
@@nelsonphilip4520 so true!
I think humanity is still alive around the world because of missionaries and their charity works. Though there are some challenges who are against god's will and humanity to destroy this beautiful world created by the god. i urge all the missionaries arround the world to work more heartly like apostles of Jesus and reach out every single person of the globe who are in need of god's grace and mercy.
“Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future. We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
- OSCAR WILDE
Oscar Wilde was death bed catholic convert to the Catholic faith.
@@Kitiwake I did not know that 😍🙏🏼
Never heard the first part before. Even smarter. :)
Some are the stars looking down at the gutter, trying to get the sprouted seedlings out, to plant them outside the gutter...
@@Eowyn3Pride We're all wretches, saved or unsaved, but perhaps you're right, relatively speaking. I think there are very few living who have ascended to such heights of sanctity.
This is quite possibly the best summary of the fundamental principles and practices for sainthood I have ever heard
High praise indeed
P
Really? You don’t see any vagueness?
@@tominl.a.1582 it’s a 14 minute summary not a course. Besides, a good teacher leaves enough room for students to contemplate and make their own conclusions.
@@viscomfa I am also catholic and appreciate everything that Bishop Barron says. I’ve read and listened to much longer discussions about this topic, and even then I have never seen any practical guidance. I know that some priests and members of the Church do put forth some concrete examples of behaviors when preaching, but I’ve noticed a general reluctance and sometimes the inability to do that. Why? Because it’s very difficult. Because between clear, abstract theory and messy, daily, dirty reality there is an immense difference.
God bless you Bishop Barron. Your lessons are so wise and practical. The holy spirit moves through you! Making a real impact. Thank you from here in New Zealand.
Bishop Barron speaks the truth. Life seems like a constant struggle between the wills of the flesh and spirit. I feel like the world constantly reminds us (and tricks us) to believe we should always focus and strive for more power, popularity, pleasure, sex, money, etc. If you are meek, not self centered or selfish you are a "sucker" and you are "missing out". However, deep down our soul and spirit know making these the center of our lives will NOT leave us with satisfaction or joy. I pray the Holy Spirit continues to guide us in the right direction.
Thank you very much Bishop Barron!!!
I am always humbled and inspired by you Bishop Barron. Thank you.
After our pastors homily today my oldest granddaughter turned to me and said “ you’re a saint”! After I gathered up my melted heart I said “thank you”. Could a grandfather ask for anything more?
I would have said, " Not yet, but I'm working on it!"😉🥰
You are blessed. what a wonderful love your grandchild has and what a wonderful example your granddaughter has. God bless you.
@@beatriceniester7891 Thank you so much! As we all know, it’s a daily internal war to live up to that. I can only pray that I’m succeeding (with help from above!). It sure helps when a child says something like that though. 🙂
In summary: To do the ordinary work of a saint all of us Christins need supernatural tender mercy help from the Lord. Tender mercy which leads to joy when shared with others too. While hungering and thirsting for righteousness every day of our lives. When we do that hungering and thirsting for righteousness with humility through the Lord starting with by realising how poor in spirit we are then step by step the desires of our growing hearts become fulfilled. Like for example the desire to live in peace with all while seeing others succeed too.
What good por love can I give anybody, being 77,and living alone and on the charity of Friends?
A good morning to do your will Heavenly Father
Ignatius Loyola embraced the same attitude: "If God causes you to suffer much, it is a sign the God has great designs for you, and God certainly intends to make you a saint." Singing Alleluia in the middle of my storm.
This video is it. No summary could have been better presented, this alone could change and orientate someone’s life permanently.
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. I have a divided heart and that has made it difficult for me to fully give my life over to God. I know there were will persecution, agony, and suffering. I hate suffering. God wants us to be introspective and focus on our own sins. I struggle deeply with the sin of envy and laziness. I often desire wealth, an outgoing personality, and extreme physical beauty. I have false humility. I love being liked by others. I care far too much what others think of me.
Very profound Bishop, thank you and God Bless
you da man Bishop Barron
God bless you Bishop Barron, please keep us in your prayers, including Dr. Taylor Marshall and Archbishop Vigano, also Pope Francis the Holy Father and all the clergy and religious brothers and sisters. Thank you Bishop Barron.
Yes, I too want to "be in that number" Thank you for the encouragement to never stop trying.
Thank you Bishop Barron. I haven’t been able to attend in-person Mass for many weeks now, but your words help me to keep holy the Sabbath. God bless you.
Clean if heart equals “ pure” of heart. Pure or clean of heart means our motives are pure before God for we desire what we do to bring glory to God, not for ourselves.
When bishop said fellow sinners I smiled at how humble bishop is.. wow
Thank you Bishop Barron for this beautiful sermon. Learning so much about God’s truth and love through you and the Word on Fire team. 🙏🏻
🙏 for the USA!
Hello greetings... How are you doing?
Some videos you speak so intellectual , which I like cause its stuff I never heard of. But this one was so layman's, and to the heart , comensense ,practical, l felt good, I liked it !
Thank you, Bishop Barron, for this beautiful Homily.
God bless.
2:07-3:10 is one of the best, most succinct, and most attractive definitions of "holiness" or "sainthood" that I've heard in a long time. We are lucky to get this kind of stuff on youtube. Thanks WOF and Bishop Barron!
If you want to be happy be a saint
This came at a perfect time in my life. Thank you as always Bishop Barron for your gift, your wisdom, and insight. You have no idea how great the timing was on this. Thank you and God bless you.
Hello greetings.. how are you doing?
You are just on wonderful!!! Spelling it out. Love it. Xxx
Hello greetings... How are you doing?
Bishop Barron, I love you and admit fully that you reignited my Faith and made a great difference in my life, but, I need a message that can bite into real misery and despair. You sometimes assume people can just snap out of these terrible states by just listening to a positive message. As you know, misery and despair go deep. Yes, as you say so wisely, 'Christ went to the depths of forsakenness' to redeem us. My friend is overwhelmed with despair. I want to help her out of that darkness, but I'm having trouble reaching her. Wish you could rescue her.
Thank you Bishop Barron! Thank you Mommy Mary! Thank you to God! 😇😇😇👼🔥☄️🕊️💐💗
Just as I was praying for clarity of the pathway I should walk, this video finds it's way to me. So clear.
Hello greetings... How are you doing?
Bishop God bless you...too
God send us all the help we can get through your mercy. Send us your Saints. Saints , Saints , Saints hear our cry intercede for us , help us be who we are created to be, let us turn back to God . God hear their plea for us, change our hearts our minds our actions.
Incredible
Wonderful. we are all saints in the making. God bless you Bishop.
Our morning prayer is an act of love: Each thought, each word, each deed of mine shall be an act of love divine, and everything that I shall do, shall be, my God, for the love of you.
Thank you Bishop Barron and may God continue to bless you & Word on Fire! You have changed my life.
The Be-happy-tudes.
God Bless you Bishop Barron! Thank you for sharing your witness to our Faith!
Awesome
The Sermon (on the Mount) , coupled with your observations, gives us ALL hope that we can make changes that better align us with the Divine Procession. Thank You!
You are the number 1 peace maker I have ever know
Thank you Bishop Barron. I can be a Saint. I can be clean of heart. Rightioness. Pure of heart. I can do the will of God
So beautiful and powerful.. definitely will save it and come back to it
Hello greetings... How are you doing?
Thank you Father Barron for explaining the Beatitudes. I always wondered what "blessed are the poor in spirit" meant. God Bless you.
GOD bless you and your ministry Bishop Barron! Your sermon always brings me to a deeper understanding of GOD's Word. Please pray for a peaceful and honest election. Please pray for the end of this pandemic and for peace in our troubled world.
I thorougly enjoyed this teaching. Thank you
It's been a while since something made so much sense for me...
I love that! Life doesn't revolve around one person to make the world go around. We are all called by God to make it 🙏 Him! I pray that I get to go there to live in Heaven in with the Lord when my days are over because I have loved His people 💔 ❤️ 💕💞💖🌈🌍🌺🌼💐🌻🙏🔥🌹. Especially my children, my future husband, my former spouse, my grandchildren and any children my spouse and I are blessed enough to adopt or have in our lives, one day, and the countless people my spouse and I serve because we're lay Mission servers in the Church......
Bishop, thank you for simplifying the path to sainthood. It’s so simple and easy to understand that I did not realize till I heard you that’s what I’ve been trying to do in my life.
A saint is holy. Why? Because a saint wants to do the will of God!
What’s God’s will? Love! God is love!
What’s love? BEing and DOing the BEATTITUDES! It’s how it’s simple and yet, difficult because of the temptations from the world, the flesh and the devil. But thanks be to the grace of God, His mercy and love is bearing fruit.
Amen. Amen. it's nice to listen a homily about the Beatitudes. A lot of us are lost in pursuit of happiness and the media has been showing us wrong answers what can make you happy.
Amén, and may God bless you, Father
Dear Bishop, I’m listening to a group of sermons such as this one from a year ago…each one is like a long, cool draught of an Arnold Palmer on a hot summer day. I’m so grateful for your homilies.. so so grateful. I’m an adult convert .. thank you for embodying the hesed.
I’m not exaggerating when I say I believe that Bishop Barron is a living saint. His work has led many (including me) to the Church. Thank God for him.
So simple & Also a HUGE CHALLENGE!! THANKS!!
Thank you for your Evangelization Bishop Barron! God Bless you all the time!!!
Thank you Bishop Brent I appreciate your homilies and I read your readings everyday on my cell phone I am so grateful thank you so much I've told so many people about you and how to listen to you and get your messages God bless you
Becoming the person that God created me to be... I believe, leads to the highest possible state of being possible and begins here on earth... becoming happy... and as you just said Bishop Barron, "I want to be one in that number when the saints come marching in..."
Thank you Bishop Barron
So grateful for these Holy Words !!
Best sermon EVER...many young Catholic adults need to hear this...
Mercy Righteousness Humility and Purity of heart
Another great sermon by our beloved bishop!
Robert Barron is a scholar, and a holy priest.
Pax Christi. ☘
I always enjoy Bishop Barron's sermons and interviews and talks. He's one of the very intelligent Catholics about today; well read and perceptive. I don't attend mass these days but I'm interested in the ideas of really intelligent Catholics.
I hear that! As a former Catholic who came back to church but in a nondenominational or evangelical Protestant type church, he kind of makes me want to rejoin the Catholic Church!
@@Nickpetronio nice to hear.
I think you might be on the path. You're not alone.
Not ready for Mass? Come join a faith discussion or find a chapel that has adoration times. I can't tell you how excited i am or how much I look foward to our little faith discussion groups...now we sit outside!...or think what other religion says we have the opportunity to sit in the real presence of Our Lord. What love He has for us to desire to be physically present to us. Not sure about this.? Just come for a little while and sit in a quiet chapel and let your heart melt in the peace and quiet of His gaze on you. Give it a moment and return. My love to you all on your journey!
Thank you. Hope you’re well. I appreciate your kind words.
This was really great to hear this morning and amazing timing. Thank you!
"The saint is someone whose life is about one thing" is a quote I'll keep on hand for a long while.
I am Catholic and I struggle with this very very much. I tried for 13 years to do the right thing by forgiving and giving a second chance to someone who needed mercy. She lied, cheated and stole from us over and over and over. I kept talking to her about God. At the end she took what I loved the most. I am so down and having so much trouble believing this teaching.
Praying for you!
You are kind. Keep going. Stay on.
My heart and prayers go out to you. Pray for peace and the grace of forgiveness. God has a plan for you, and He will reveal it in time. May He bless your beautiful tears and sadness. A springtime is coming.
Try reading something by Dr Robert Enright on forgiveness. He has suggestions and articles online.
I am sorry that you had to experience this. But don't let it separate you from God. Free will is a wonderful gift, but when used wrongly (that is, contrary to God's way), it causes pain to all concerned. Please talk to a good spiritual director to help you find a way forward without anger or hate.
In the meantime, place yourself at the foot of the Cross on Calvary with Mary and the beloved disciple. Cling to Jesus' cross and beg His help for He truly understands your pain. Also, as hard as it will be, pray for the one who hurt you and make a decision to love her--for love is not an emotion, but an act of the will that desires the good of the other. (From what you indicate, she has demons of her own.)
I will be praying for you that God may bless you and keep you close.
Cannot help but need to thank you once again, beloved Bishop Baron, for your great teaching. A hunderdfold of the Lords graces on you for what you gave, i ask and will obtain
Very good presentations
To me this is one your greatest homilies, Bishop Baron!thank you so much.
🙏🏻💙
Such a beautiful homily, Bishop Barron. I want to be a saint!
It actually requires supernatural help, and I've yet to see him teach anything of that.
A homily to view many times on a regular basis
Thanks for the blessing of your wonderful work in spreading the Word 😊
Great sermon - Thank you. I hold Psalm 23 close as a reminder to not want the things of this world.
@Bishop Robert Barron I praise God for your prayer Bishop Barron. I am now a tree planted by a stream of water that will bear fruit in season and whose leaves will not wither. (Psalm 1)
See Once again to be Holy we must Suffer. The path of love doesn't bring us suffering. It makes us feel joyous every step of the way., Happiness arises from service to others.
Una sola tristeza. Gracias. Paz y Bien. Bendiciones.
Praise the Lord. Thank you Jesus
Absolutely live this. I asked the Lord to help me make this the main desire of my heart and life❣️
This video just spoke to me.
Thank you God. My prayers have been answered.
Amen💞
Amazing message. Thank you!
God bless you bishop , pray for us in México
Thank you Bishop your explanation was clear and helpful.
God's everlasting mercy and grace ensures peace, progress & stability.
Dear Bishop Barron, thank you for confirming something I have always believed in my Catholic upbringing. How you describe what is the pursuit of "sainthood" is how I would describe my mother and might I add you have to accept suffering, even if someone else thinks it's unjust. And I do indeed Thank God every day for the family I was born into, a template of humility. The greatest compliment I received from a boss, now about 17 years ago..."Jeff, I'm sorry to see you leave us, because you are the conscience of this place". How that resonated for me was that I told him when I came to work there, 7 years prior, is that "my goal is always to do the right thing". Silently I reflected that I never wanted accolades for a job well done, because I will wait to the end. Most people assumed that I meant, the completion or end of the job. I have always meant, the end of my life, because I want to hear Jesus tell me, "well done faithful servant". I have so much to do and so little time, but I get up every morning and Thank God he's given me another day to plant a seed. I'm so glad I found you because everything you share so eloquently and beautifully, is what resides in my heart. God Bless You and Keep You!!!!
Thank you so much Bishop Barron. I wish I could get such clear explanations for every sentence of the Gospels. We need a fire from the priests' hearts to give us light on God's word, not just because, as an ancient text, it needs context and explanations, but also because the devil and the world are always ready to confuse us about it. Same old same, man being confused about what God said. So thank you, Bishop, God bless you too.
I think I have never heard such a beautiful sermon about the Beatitudes...
Thank you so much! I needed the message that you delivered in this sermon.
Exceptionally good homily!
I wish there was a way to determine one's purpose in life. Thank you, Bishop Barron.
There is. I did it. So did Thomas Merton. I recommend The Seven Story Mountain for his struggle to find his place in God's Will.
@@teresawarlow2631 - Many thanks, Teresa - I will check it out. And what did you discover?
Im 73 and still asking God , what is it you wish of me? A simple answer is: Accept God's love and share it with others...love as God has loved...doing small things with great love as Mother Teresa would say. Never give up, keep your eyes on Jesus. Peace!
@po18guy Many thanks - I will pursue your suggestions. God bless.
Thanks Bishop again ...I only pray God shows us the meaning and purpose of this life ...Bishop Barron your homily gives us hope
One among the many scary and spine chilling teachings of Jesus is from Matthew chapters 5,6 and 7.
I literally fail every day to follow HIS teachings in this 3 chapters.
I fail, and I still fail to follow it.
Everytime the beatitudes comes in liturgy readings in mass, I feel that I am the most unworthy soul to say that Iam a christian...
NONE of us is worthy. God's love and grace GIVE us what we need when we need it. Listen for Jesus voice - even in the most "trivial" of matters; the Holy Spirit is the one who enables us to follow Jesus. ML
@@margueritelangton6362 Indeed I agree. Matthew 5 verse 28, that's hell fire to live in this world.
Amém. 🙏 God blessings you Bishop.
