What Our Lives Must Be About - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2021
- Friends, in this Sunday's reading, St. Paul affirms what stands at the center of his life: preaching the glad tidings that God has won the victory over sin and death, thereby liberating all creation. Paul's whole life revolved around this good news, and so it must be for us.

Thank you Bishop Barron ❤
Amen Bishop Bobby . Amen,
What a privileged position I am in to have access to you n your faith knowledge and wisdom. Your love of Jesus and Our Catholic Church. It's all online thanks to your willingness to listen to the Spirit, then take action. You and your team set me a fine example as do my own Augustinian priests here at home.
I could never have imagined feeling so utterly grateful to be back online!
As one of many to have been hacked and hounded to the point of despair, consequently resigning to evil and the lure of " That Good Night".
Now... not so many months later I can say with integrity - "here I am Lord".
We the Church, need our priests. Perhaps now more than ever as the great evil of the new atheists stalk the internet, the street and in our own homes...." I will go Lord if you lead me", because" I am with you even unto the end of time."....
Thank you Bishop, the way you say all of your thoughts and reflexions makes a huge difference in our lives. I listen to you every single day from Brazil, God bless!
Thank you, Bishop Barron, I have been praying about this, becsuse of the public teaching and what our responsibilities are when we are in the middle of a moment to evangelize about Christ it is not easy but God has been putting that in my heart. Go reach out but only use words if necessary living the gospel message at every moment, and when I say or do something that causes hurt in my own home is to make peace and not war. These times have been a test for in one form or another. I have deepen by prayer time. Which has made me more sensible to go help others but to begin in my own home so together as a family we walk with our lLord one day at time. Blessings to you all. 🙏
Amazing preach bishop. Blessings always.
Thanks again. God has certainly put you in my pathway and I am grateful for your work. He is indeed alive and working. Keep up the good work.
"The center of my life is my friendship with Jesus Christ"
That really rung beautifully
Excuse me Bishop Barron; the first thing I do when I wake up is to give thanks that Jesus let me wake; and that's what changed my life.
Thank you Bishop, really pragmatic, so grateful, you are a National Asset!!. For me, I now pray, "God, today help me to do your will this day. Amen"
Im 70 and it is been a tough season. My mom 98 has been thrown in and out of quarantine for months now. I have not been inside a church in almost a year now.. The election drew us to a new low. My friend rightly said that her hunger for God's return is deeper and deeper. Everyone around me is feeling the same.. What a great forum to bring Christ. It is really hard because I am so weary.
I pray God will send his blessings, peace and protection to you and your mom. With love from Arkansas.
Barre Flynn I will pray for you by name today. I hope your mother has someone in her midst with a compassionate heart.
I read your comment just after reading this great verse from Galations:
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
God will give you the strength to carry on as long as he needs you to.
God is with you and your mum during this time. He knows your pain and your hunger and will see you through this difficult moment. He who thirsts for God will always find God in the midst of all troubles and distress and God who loves us infinitely will never live you alone. He will fill the void in His best time. Count on our prayers and on the help and compassion that comes from God even sometimes from strangers in our midst
@@catherinemwakio740 Your beautiful words were my morning prayer. Thank you, dear lady, wherever you are.
This brought me to years thinking how short I have been in my onsite to fulfill this. Thank you for reminding me that this is the only life which God has given me here. That I love him enough to give it back to him in service for all he has done gratefully willingly and faithfully.
How blessed we are to have Bishop Barron in our midst to explain these beautiful writings! Thank you!
Amen🙏
Beloved you are blesse.
God protect and bless Bishop Barron. Thank you for everything you do! You are one of the biggest reasons that I am converting!
Peace.
Let us pray for the 9 people who gave truth a thumbs down!
Thank You Bishop Barron. When I awake each day, I first Thank God for another opportunity to serve him. Evangelizing though our actions and own examples is the best way we can influence alll we meet.
Amen. Thank you Bishop 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Good Sermon Bishop Barron. I look forward to them every Sunday. Bishop Barron is the 21st century Bishop Fulton Sheen.
On 12/31/2020 i decided to read the Biblle everyday i 2021. I have Metastatic Stage 4 Breast./Bone Cancer, plus brain cancer. Reading the Bible and hearing the Gospel everyday ism keeping me going.
Be sure and fall in love with the Word. Read II Thessalonians 2 for more information on that.
Is it possible for you to receive the Eucharist daily? His presence will help you. O risen Lord who vails himself in bread and wine, take our hearts and make them thine.
God bless you.
As priest pastor, at Holy Family Modesto, we thank Bishop Baron!
You've taught me a valuable lesson that evangelization cannot be forced upon others, but first emptying ourselves to the sacred heart of Jesus. It is in love, we understand our mission on earth. Thank you Bishop Barron. You have a voice that is so profound and humble.
I’ve been a follower of you for a while Bishop and I noticed you keep saying the same thing. If I could make an observation, someone who says the same thing over and over is either very lucky with staying on point or speaking the truth-I’m going with the latter. In all seriousness, God Bless you Bishop and God Bless everyone listening and to those who have the courage to speak the Truth.
The truth is one immutable and eternal
Bishop Barron, You are amazing and have helped me not be afraid to speak about my love for Jesus and how he helps me in every day life. I am no longer afraid to tell others about Jeaua..Thank you for evangeliszing me each week.

Thanks for being here☆

Praise to to the Lord Jesus Christ
As as an adult survivor of childhood emotional abuse,
I can testify to paralysis. When I was a teen I stopped speaking due to some sort of depression or spiritual paralysis. I was removed from my family by child protective services, and I recovered. Every once in a while, if I am yelled at or spoken to harshly, it happens again. It’s temporary. It’s a terrible feeling to know that sometimes, I’m still paralyzed.
I’m trying to develop detachment, but the deficit seems too difficult to overcome, and defensive strategies of avoidance and self protection kick in. My running away might seem like a Jonah thing, but it’s
More like an Abraham thing
I think, only I didn’t laugh.
You are in my prayers. Thanks for sharing.
May God continue to fill you with strength and courage to look ahead with optimism. God really loves you and walks with you every moment of your life, even when He seems soo silent. Feel His embrace every time life comes with its twists and turns. God is very much present even in those moments and a true help in times of trouble
Thank you, you have shared a truth that I can so relate. I too walk that path.
Thankd dear bishop Barron, the explanation of evangelion is very pleasing to me. The victory of our Lord needs to be proclaimed every day.
I am definitely a Traditionalist and always will be!!!!
I feel so blessed to have discovered Bishop Barrón in TH-cam. This sermon like all of his sermons are so profound and thought provoking. I try to keep in mind at least two things that jump out of them to me. One is obvious the call as a baptized to bring others to Our Lord, by them experiencing His Love through us. Another one, the word “OPPORTUNITY “; If everything that comes our way , it’s perceived as an opportunity, or better a way The Lord is communicating with us.
Thank You Father.
Thank you
I admire the 😊Evangelical work by St. Paul. Uplifting God's triumph over the evil.
God bless Bishop Barron. I really appreciate him.
Thank you Bishop Barron ❤️❤️❤️
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 Mother Mary Pray For Us 🙏Abba Father Bless us and we Adore You 🙏Holy Spirit Guide us and direct our paths 🙏
Amen, Bishop Barron! Thank you for this beautiful and important reminder that we Christians ought to be an evangelist, in some ways, to people throughout the world for the sake of the kingdom of God is at hand.
God bless.
Theology at it's best, thank you Bishop!
God Bless you Bishop Baron 🙏 ❤ 🙌
this is deep Bishop, very deep. i thought of St. Xavier right away. Kinda related to your saint sermon too. I feel like i can’t really do much living as a teen with my parents but i can ask God for help with this. Thank you Bishop.
Claro, ordenado, sencillo, y con la fuerza de un evangelizador. Seamos evangelizadores.
Thank you Bishop Barron . GOD BLESS you ALWAYS 🙏🕊
Loved the quarterback analogy, very timely with the superbowl.
He did just that. Done what he has just preached. Utilizing the canny evangelical method depends on the situation/circumstances. 🙂
Very!
Is that today?
Today is superbowl finals. So that analogy is apt
@@vuhoang7109 i didnt even notice that he used it on me. Great observation
Thank you Bishop Barron. My wife and I have been discerning God's will for our 9 year old daughter and how to handle social media. How the devil wants to use it for evil when God can use it for good. This reading will be my prayer for her. To be all things to all people so that some might be saved. Also for protection to enter through the straight and narrow gate.
Thank you Bishop Barron!
Awesome Bishop Barron. So well put and soo beautifully put. We have to desire to bring souls to Christ daily through our example and our conversations. I love the way you remind us that difficult people are in our midst for a reason. For us to evangelize to them and not for us to gossip about them or sideline them or treat them with disdain. I believe they are there for us to grow in charity and patience and understanding and to bring about a conversion with the help of grace from God. As usual your homilies are truly inspiring. God continue to use you for His glory and bless you abundantly as you open our eyes to Sacred Scripture.
Thank you Bishop, another wonderful sermon. You always teach me something! God bless you today and everyday.✝️🇨🇦
Thank you for this, brother.
Wonderful sermon, Bishop Barron
This was a great sermon!!!
Thank you for inspiring us with these good news about the Good News with so much passion, fueled by the Holy Spirit.
Mathew 22
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[d] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Thank you, Bishop Barron. God bless you all. 💜
Amen. Thank You, Bishop Barron. 🙌❣📖
🙏 thank you for such an amazing sermon, Bishop Barrón. God bless you
God bless you, Bishop Barron
St. Pope John Paul 2 spoke of evangelization at World Youth Day.I was there in 1993,Denver Colorado.🌿😇
It’s very inspiring God bless 🙏
Great stuff, thanks. I'm guilty. I tend to see people as obstacles and irritants to my dreams and goals. This view has been changing though. Now when I drive past people walking along the roads, while delivering Amazon packeges, the left corner of my mouth turns down, and I have compassion for them. Compassion for the basic aspects of life that we all contend with. That is, providing food, clothing, and shelter for loved ones. Supporting spouses and children, while carving out time for hobbies.
Without God's grace we can do nothing and some of us are still working on our own evangelization trying to figure out our own life's in perfect walk with God which is so confusing and frustrating .
Thank you Bishop Barron. I enjoyed your sermon this morning. Peace be with you from Alberta, Canada 🙏
Thank you for answering a question that has been in my thoughts a long time.... am I doing enough? As an activity director in a mostly Jewish senior living community, I pray daily that the Holy Spirit put the words in my month as I care, interact and respond to their needs. I’m not permitted to out right evangelize but always hoped my compassion and kindness towards all would set that example. Am I in the right place, doing the right thing? I believe so now. Thank you for your insight and explanation it helps so much.
Good morning, Jesus! The best way to start the day :) God bless, Your Excellency
Thank you Bishop Barren, I give prayers for the sick and needy, but ignore the people I don't agree with, so thank you again
Thank you, Bishop Barron, for explaining the Euangelion, the "good news" to us , day after day.💒
Bishop Barron, pray for my loved ones to come to know & reconcile with Jesus, I do my best to bring them to Jesus.(husband, son and daughter)Thank you for your goodness.
Thank you Bishop Barron you are wise with your words i work in a big retail store has host cashier so i try my best with all kinds people with blessing them with nice words 😇😇🙏🙏🙏😷😷
Good one Bishop. Starting every day with a renewal of our evangelistic mission is, for me, a new way to go and very important to staying on the path given us as believers.
In our brokenness and in a broken world...God works wonders and makes us whole again. We just need to notice. When we are weak He is Strong. Thank you Bishop Barron for you have inspired me to be like Jesus Look like Jesus and LOVE like Him in thought words and deeds. 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️
Just laid eyes on such beauty like it aaa the arc of the covenant . It’s spared no expense at the hand satchel bindery. The Gospels are well,dome. Bishop Barron, I wish you could bless us through TH-cam. You are a hero of the Church and us supporting the Word on Fire has changed my life.
“Become all things to all the people”
Thank you Bishop Barron. God Bless You.

Cuidado con nuestros actos en la vida,,, por que puede ser lo único que conozcan del Evangelio algunas personas!

Thank you, Bishop Barron for this sermon. I relate to this message.
Thank you for another outstanding sermon, great for Super Bowl Sunday! Also Commenters and subscribers remember that commenting and liking increases the amount of attention the video will get!
"WOE to me if I do not preach it!"
❤
I needed this! Praise Jesus.
Jeremiah 20:9 But if I say, “I will not mention His word
or speak anymore in His name,”
His word is in my heart like a fire,
a fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in;
indeed, I cannot.
"When you help someone climb up a hill you are a bit nearer to the topmost."
St. Pope Paul VI had this to say that *'our own Salvation depends on how much we work to SAVE others.'*
Evangelization certainly adds adventure to our lives. It increases our concern for others as we pray for those around us. It gets us out of parochial viewpoints and teaches us how the gospel is understood by those outside our walls. It's scary, a bit like dating, because we put something near and dear to ourselves out there to be either accepted or rejected. That is their choice, but ours is to put ourselves out there in humility and vulnerability. But, when you first see the openings of faith in someone who previously did not. Its like seeing a new born baby, or a dawn in the sky, or perhaps the first time the love of your life warmed to your presence. It changes us. And the people God reaches; they will be much holier than we are-- and you feel the happiness of a parent who rejoices in an infant's first steps.
God Bless
As in Faith of Our Fathers " And preach thee too as love knows how, by kindly words and virtuous life"
Great mission. I will put "what can I do to evangelize?" first in my life to see if I can change someone and bring them closer to Jesus. Not easy to do, since for every person that is in one's path that needs evangelization, they need to be approached carefully and differently (as you mentioned), otherwise they will "protect" themselves and evangelization will not even make a dent. I can think of close friends and family members that are really good souls, but are more and more inclined to believe in science or on the life of the flesh instead of God and Jesus. Also, I personally think the Catholic Church needs to become "young" to be able to evangelize the 20 and 30 somethings. The young generation view the Catholic Church as archaic, old, boring, etc., hence not attractive. Even if they were raised Catholic. I think currently, it is not only a concern of Christian institutions to bring people to Church, they also need to be concerned with bringing people to God and Jesus first, then to Church. I will try my best to do my part carefully, thank you.
Profoundly challenging and right on track.
Bless you 🙏
"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord" I LOVED it when he took the Kantian "Don't treat people as a means to an end" but instead of going with Kant and saying "Treat them as an End in Themselves" (which is enlightened and humane) he says instead "Treat them as an opportunity for Evangelization." Marvelous.
As Paul spoke in Romans:1 I am obliged and eager to share the Gospel in word, action and example! Thank you for again reminding us of this today!
From my own experience the poor, weak, and disenfranchised are more receptive because they are looking for hope. It is the arrogant, the pharisees, and the powerful that are most hard to reach. The poor love yiu when reach out, the powerful slap you down.
Thanks for a great insight!
Your homilies have been very inspiring thank u
WOW I needed this today🙏🏽. I don’t feel worthy or qualified to evangelize despite my education in scripture which is ongoing.
You may not be able to evangelize through words ( I also feel unable to do so at times), but certainly can through your actions and love for others.
You can also share your personal story. Why do you believe? No one can argue with personal testimony but it can be a story that may spark interest. Just plant tiny seeds, God will do the work. Bless you, God’s grace and peace as you continue to seek His will.
Wow
Wow! Beautiful Sermon!
Thank you, Bishop Barron!
Love this!!! How can I today bring someone to Christ?
Woe to me if I do not evangelize......
Possibilities
If your can talk with kings and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch...
Thank you, Bishop- for reaching me, my teens, and my Protestant MIL. How do you do it? 😃
💖
Amen 🙏
As always the consummate teacher thank you
St. Francis said that we can evangelize through our actions and witnessing and use words only when necessary.
It actually goes, "Preach the gospel at all times, and if necessary, use words."
💜🙏💜
