The Master has need of it. What an eloquent, inspiring sermon. We all have something to give in service to God. Untether the donkey…. the master has need of it….thank you for explaining that.
It took 14 mins to resolve a lifetime of questioning and seeking. May the good Lord lead me to where I fear to tread. He must increase, I must decrease.
@@oliverclark5604 Why do you keep using "purporting"? It is completely out of context! Say what you want to say without TRYING to sound overly-intellectual. I'm an educated Theologian, and your mishmash of words makes no sense!
Bishop Barron. A truly inspiring message told with gentle humility, with the grace and depth God has given you to speak for Him to others. God Bless you each day. Everyone should listen to this or watch, who believes in our God.🕊
I’ve often felt dissatisfied when people complimented me on my gifts - precisely because I knew them to be gifts and they only made sense if I could use them to serve. I’ve often wished people could see the “real me” instead of my gifts. But with that verse “The Master has need of it”, everything finds its meaning and drops into its proper place. Thank you!
The master has a need in "it"..my gifts used to serve God. This has given me a total beginning on how to look at my God given gifts. He a need of it. Thank you Bishop Barron.
@@oliverclark5604 Sorry, but I didn’t mean anything more than I have written. I think you are unnecessarily complicating things (as they call it in French, “seeking noon at 14.00”).
Thank you Bishop Barron. This homily touches a very humble chord for me. I’ve been privileged with a gift from the Master as an artist. I made money in my early life from commercial art and allowed myself to be swallowed up by it. I was doing it for me, not for God. The Lord showed me a different path for work, which I took and my art became a hobby in my life. I’ve had people ask me why I’m not selling my work, and I just shake my head no. Now I can respond “the Master has need of me.” I give my art away because it pleases and glorifies Him. Blessings to you all!
Bishop Barron: Truly one of the most inspiring homilies I have heard. Although the Lord has need of nothing, how He delights in our response to serve Him. This homily is something that the multitudes need to hear!
I feel this is one of many of Bishop Barron's sermons that has everything we need to know to live a good life. Many thanks to Bishop Barron and the Word on Fire Team for the wonderful work they do.
to whom much is given, much will be expected. the ability to do, is the opportunity to do - and how those gifts are invested in service demonstrates our appreciation of what they're worth.
I just came home after spending a week with Franciscan nuns. It was amazing to see how they used their gifts for God. Even though most were quite advanced in age. It really made me think how I could use my talents for God... I've been blessed with a lot of things, I really need to start to give back. The master has need of this little donkey. Thank you! I'll keep it in my mind!
Thanks, Bishop Barron, for your good homily, leading me to think "God, the Master, has a need of me" and that we are being untethered for liberation, not enslavement or servitude. God bless.
Thank you Bishop Barron for your most valuable words. I listen to you daily and gain so much from all you say. Your words are filled with wisdom and always make me think long after I have heard them. I send your sermons to my 3 boys who have all left the church. They don’t usually respond but I’m hoping there may be some words that may resonate with them to finally bring them back to God. If they won’t listen to me they may listen to you. God bless you for all your amazing work. 💕🙏
As someone earlier remarked: THE MASTER is in need of YOU! God bless you ... you are CALLED! Now I need to go out and practice what YOU preached! Thank you for enriching this Holy Week with the simplicity of your sermon and unlock all that tethers me from the Calling of My Master! M.Pereira
The Master has need of YOU --- that's for sure! No one mines the scriptures like you do, and presents them to us to be taken up and lived in ways we never would have thought of. Again, as every week. Thank you!
"The Master has need of it." After I heard you said this Bishop. I cried of joy and really thankful for how the Lord is so loving and so merciful. Once again thanks so much Bishop Barron. 💖💖💖
Thank you Bishop Barron another powerful teaching on the gospel. You are carrying out Jesus teaching "the Master has need of it" and helping me to see what I need to be untethered from. God bless you 🙏☦️
Wow , thank you Bishop Barron, wow , yes the Master has need of us and in HIS need for us , there in lies the answer to our needs being fulfilled. I love it thank you GOD BLESS. Thank you for answering to HIS need for you, your sharing is certainly a Blessing for me . Thank you . Prayers for HIS continued BLESSINGS on and in you and all you say and do and for Word on Fire.
In the spirit of this homily, I give thanks to God for working so brilliantly through Bishop Barron and his focus on that one phrase and how our purpose is to give the gifts we've been given by God as a gift back to Him. I also have a vague memory of a saint, or maybe a pope, who said that we discover who we are when we give of ourselves.
Oh my goodness this is wonderful. Thank you so much Bishop Barron. I want very badly to be untethered, and was just praying about it this morning. Such a wonderful gift to hear this. God bless you always!
@@oliverclark5604 I see you here once again, and again I ask you to consider your motivation for coming to this site and for your post content. It almost seems as if you are looking to argue, and I don't understand why. If you do not agree with what we find helpful and illuminating from Bishop Barron--that is your right--as well as your right to express it. But I don't see that it is advancing the love of Christ or our faith. Please reflect on your purpose and reason for this--maybe you can uncover something that needs your attention. I often find that in my own life. May God bless you always.
@@oliverclark5604 I am not aware of any 'extreme tensions' that you mentioned. I do not believe that Bishop Barron is using this space to 'spam' anyone. I have learned a great deal from Bishop Barron, and I believe that he is working very hard to help us with our faith journey. One thing you could consider is that the Holy Spirit could be using any and all situations to help us grow--whether or not you agree or disagree. Another thing to consider is praying for the Bishop and for yourself. When I find myself being judgmental or critical of others, praying for that person(s) is the best thing I can do. I hope this helps.
I have never reflected on the tethering of the donkey. That God’s grace can liberate us from any fetters preventing us from presenting our gifts and talents for the Master’s use. That was phenomenal
Oliver Clark That’s your interpretation, I am afraid. The donkey could also be analogous to a person’s gifts or talents as well, in which the person is tethered to fame/popularity than using the gifts for the purpose of God’s kingdom. It’s still good to use the analogy of an individual
One of the Best Palm Sunday Homilies I've heard. Using whatever gifts you've got to Glorify God. I believe Shakespeare encouraged more positive outlooks and ideas about Christianity as a playwrite than if, say, he has decided to be a Priest. And for those ...not bright individuals who say Shakespeare wasn't a Christian: 1) in my 4 decades of studying his plays, the Bard's true beliefs are all over those plays 2) a famous,.highly respected English Historian of Elizabethan England- AL Rowse- counted Shakespeare quoting 40 different Books of the Bible. Something to ponder...

Amazing homily, the last part about untethering hit me deep in my soul. I have a Celtic Cross and Our Lady of Guadalupe in front of my workstation at home, and immediately prayed to both. Thank you Bishop and God Bless you!
Absolutely amazing opening of the scriptures, as always, by Bishop Barron! I never cease to be amazed at his ability to focus on words and phrases that I would easily miss and how deep the meaning is behind those very simple words. 🙏
Excellent homily. It " unthethers" the mind, the heart and the will. For the mind, it is breath of fresh air offering deeper insights into Jesus' humility and his use of the common donkey.( I do love animals- and donkeys are a favorite😄). It untethers the heart that can be so absorbed with our personal desires and what we hope to achieve. It unthethers the will...offering a freedom through choosing what Christ desires of and from us. Thank you once again for the inspiration. God bless.
Beautiful! So much power in one phrase! I will never listen to the readings on Palm Sunday the same way again! Untethering our hearts for Jesus‘s service… Absolutely a beautiful liberating way to live! Thank you Bishop Barron! Have a blessed Holy Week everyone!
This passage made me to look from a completely different perspective..Praise God..After listening, felt the Divine inspiration & spiritually uplifting moment. Thank you Bishop, will keep you in my prayers today.. Wishes from UK...God bless your Evangalisation Ministry..Ave Maria.
You may not read this, but I am an Orthodox Priest, and I want to thank you, truly, for these words.
If you served Jesus, it is not a servitude nor enslavement but a liberation.
Thank you Bishop Barron 🙏🏼 God bless you.

Wonderful sermon!
Sure thank you. Hadn't thought of it that way.
Wonderful! Perfect words to keep for Holy Week and to pass on! Thank you so much!!
I couldn't agree more. The analysis from this perspective is quite amazing and inspiring. "Let Christ's grace 'untether" you".
