I am eighty six years old,I am living in an assisted living facility. I have never felt more discouraged, lonely, horrible arthritic pain , need almost99% care. Your message today is giving me encouragement. I have no idea why I am still alive. I remember the phrase…when all else fails, trust in God. Please pray for me!!!🙏
God has a purpose and here I am to tell you to repent and accept only Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Believe in what He died in the cross for our sins and on the 3rd day He rose from the dead and now is seated at the right hand of God.
Hi. I'm a grad student from Brazil. This video has helped me countless times throughout the months. Most recently, I've been dealing with a heartbreak due to "the one" ending things rather suddenly. Anyway, it's comforting to think God might have a greater purpose for my life and also hers. A big part of the pain comes from the realisation that I haven't been a good judge of character, and so unpleasant things keep happening. God help us all and save us from our ignorance.
"When you're in your greatest distress, give --- in love --- even the little that you have, and you're going to find that the resources don't dry up. In fact, they multiply." I love this line so much. It encourages me today. Thank you.
Thank you for this most encouraging story and the advice. Hust what I needed to hear right now in my 79th year and worried that my resources are dwindling fast. You have given me hope . Thanks and God bless you for sharing this life-giving wisdom 💟🙏✝️
Bishop Barron, you will always remain one of God's BEST Storytellers and it seems that he has picked you to tell all his BEST Stories to his children in Faith☆
@@chrisyoung5929 Any idea whose story he just told? It's seven hours (2.30 am IST, 8th Nov.) since he spoke and a whopping 60,000 cared to listen already. Don't miss those that telling things about Bishop's story right here with you in the Comments section. Do look up. *You seem to be saying that you are among the few handfuls with real life and a BRAIN.*
@@marypinakat8594 And a Marvel superhero movie gets 60 million views in a weekend does that make superhero movies true in any way? A few hundred people turned up in Dallas expecting that JFK jr would come back from the dead a couple of days ago. If 60, 000 had turned up would that have made it more likely to happen? Is Noah's flood true because the Bible says so or a made-up story because we have the Geology, Physics, zoology, Genetics, Chemistry, and history that all show it was just a story that did not happen? A story is a story unless you can show it is true. If we just accept stories as true because we want them to be then we are set up to be conned all our lives. Evidence that any of the Bishop's stories is true is what I am asking for.
“Your being increases in the measure as you give it away. “ what a beautiful idea as we live each day. I offered a man payment for some help he gave me when my car broke down. He simply said we all can do good. Just pay it forward my friend. Modern day reminder of the Bishops great homily!!!
I've been a Secular Carmelite for 40+ years and I know this story well. This is the first time it moved me to tears. I'll certainly take this to prayer today. Thank You.
@@jacobgray7007 An APPARITION! surely you mean a DELUSION. Perhaps you might want to have a TRUTHFUL conversation, that is one that does not depend on biblical FAIRY TALES.
My coworkers and myself are going through a drought right now,our company closed without notice.I pray Lord we all find gainful employment soon.I miss the people I worked with.I hand it all over to you Lord.Amen.
God bless you. I had somewhat of the same experience. A few years back, our company closed down. Some of us were wondering how we could find a job with good benefits and pay like the one we had? But a door opened, and so the pieces of the puzzle were gradually put back together. Good luck to you. With God's grace believe in yourself and remember what Bishop Barron spoke about trusting in God and watching for the people he sends your way to help. You will not be disappointed.
Bishop Barron, you have a true gift. You let God speak through you and tell a story we have heard for years, you tell it in a way that it actually makes sense to “our own” life and to trust being thrown out of comfort zone. Thank you for all the years of inspiration and guidance. It’s because of you I am back!
A year later and this is exactly what I needed to hear… I went to World Youth Day with a spiritual dryness and left Lisbon with spiritual dryness. The reminder to trust in Him is prominent, so thank you for your amazing work Bishop 🙏
He forgot to include the phrase "... that are indistinguishable from random chance ...". Also the use of the word "mysterious" makes a mockery of 1 Corinthians 14:33.
Today 6/21/24, I asked my guardian angel to help me show me the message God wants me to know by typing in “catholic sermon” on TH-cam. I told my guardian angel to let the message be the first result for catholic sermons on TH-cam. This was he result. Thank you Lord Jesus.
Bishop Barron, keep cracking that laughter and smiles, it's quite infectious in a positive and delightful way! We love Bishop, keep us soaked in God’s word. God be with you always 🙏
I am amazed at the few who rate these spectacular sermons as "thumbs down". Regardless of one's race, creed, color, religion, etc. I cannot understand how Bishop's messages can be received as anything but highly educational and uplifting. We should all raise these troubled, misdirected or lost souls in prayer in hopes that they will see clearly in the future. Thank you Bishop Barron for yet another tremendously edifying and inspirational sermon. I eagerly await next Sunday's installment!
I haven't rated down the Bishop's video and I don't know if my impression of it is in the least bit representative of those that did, but I can't say I find it uplifting. I am just bemused by the way in which it is accepted or recounted as true when tales or examples of it are selectively chosen from a wealth of other cases where it would seem not to be. Not that I would deny the potential value of sharing with others in times of need (or plenty for that matter), but a tenfold, hundredfold material or spiritual return associated with a god is too mysterious a claim for me to accept on trust or say so.
“Put your trust in the Lord before any man”, Psalm 118.8, the center of the Bible. Thank you for reminding me of this most important way to live my life. I pray to be a sheep and not a goat.
When you are going through the worst drought in your life trust in God trust in his Providence. Thank you Bishop Baron I needed to hear that today pray for me and my family please
I have no idea what God wants me to do or what his project is. Praying my whole life and I don’t hear a thing. I had a miserable career, family members afflicted with disease, and unending disasters. Hasn’t sent me anyone. I keep hearing about all these miracles. I have never seen one. I don’t know anyone who has seen one. I don’t know anyone who knows anyone whose seen one.
Thank You I went to mass , and I left thinking I did not understand. You always explain the Gospel so well! You are a gift from God! We are called to be generous with our time, finances, Love.
In times of need, we have an option to rely on our own wit, our resources, our influence, friends and family. "Well, I have a college degree, got my savings as backup, my family as my safety net." To forego our instincts, but instead go to the Holy Spirit and submitting to His will first... sigh, so hard to do. Asking, "Lord, what is your plan for me?" When you/I believe that we already got a plan (an even better one that God's (yikes!) ). To humble ourselves before God and to first consult in life decisions that we make, in the end will lead to prosperity -- if not the life here on earth, definitely in eternal life. Mother Teresa's life is that blue print. She may not have had the personal riches of the earthly life, but if there is a heaven, she's certainly there. It's amazing how she humbled herself and turned to God to lead the way. Easier said that done. Only with the help of the Holy Spirit that I/we can surrender our lives to God. God Bless you, Bishop.
God works in really obvious ways probably even more than he works in mysterious ones. I had spent weeks crying out to God “I am so scared and I feel so afraid. Please show me your great love. I need its comfort.” And day after day I felt lost. I couldn’t find his love. I was so scared. And then one day I was in prayer, calling out just the same as I had been when I had this thought to just write down about my day. Not asking for anything, just running through my day on paper and wow! The people I had encountered that day when reflecting. More importantly WOW- the LOVE I had encountered that day. So many people in my life that had been taking care of me and I had been so blind to them. I didn’t see their love at all but it was right there in my friend making me a cup of coffee, in my boyfriend inviting me to lunch. All of it. It had been there the whole time. It was like God said “HEY- I’m right here. See? Here is the love you so desire.” And what a blessing it was to have that realization. In realizing that God is in community. He is our personal, closest friend and asks us to know him better by loving others just as they love us and just as he loves us. Praise God.
"The Lord be with you, may He make His face shine upon you". Pray for His perfect will to be done in your life. Unite in prayer your suffering with Christ's for the conversion of sinners and/or the poor souls in Purgatory.
Dear Bishop Robert Barron - I am literally being sent to a foreign country to drink from a dried up wadi! I am half way there and have already suffered many ills on the way and really did not want to continue. I am not sure I will be fed by ravens but I am already meeting people on the way who have been a great help to me. Your message today is as timely as ever and has given me the courage to go on. May God bless you richly in your vocation.
i love how Gods commmand seems so counter intuative to our thinking. It dosent make sense to our minds to ask a widow in poverty for provision when she can barely survive herself. God wants us to move in total faith, its when we believe and move in faith that miracles and wonders happen, increasing our faith in him.
I recently moved house and once I realized I had an space on an empty wall, I promptly bought this sticker and look at it 24/7. What does my sticker say? "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God." - John 14:1 This verse was also the devotion I read when I was in Finland, by myself for a vacation, and deeply worried about something. I remembered praying to God "If I am not worried, I am lying. But I trust in you O God." Before I knew what happened, the problem was solved. Scratch that. A miracle happened to me. Up to today, I never forgot and I strongly believe that the miracle happened because I trusted in God. ❤
God bless all of you and your families and I pray that God watches over you and you know that your loved by the lord God so always remember to trust in the lord no matter what even if your believes are tested and have a blessed day in Jesus name Amen 🙏
Dear Bishop Barron, this message is meant for me today. Thank you for being an instrument of God. The law of the gift is what we need to remember always. Everything is for a reason; not our reasons but God's. Thank you.
This man is amazing... True story - I just finished watching a video where the host was answering questions. Many of the questions centered around saying they are tired of "holding the line" and that they are thinking about giving in because they want something to happen according to when "they" want it. I responded "are you courage or are you simply grey matter?" And " are you sentient beings or sheep"? But then, rather than doing my normal fury; I wrote "trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not really upon your own understandings." We are not in our time, we are in the Lord's time. I suggested they go deep within themselves to hear his voice. That was all I could do; then I was led here. When we/I listen to God, this is what he does for us/me; another piece in my puzzle 🙏
6/17/24 Exactly what I needed to hear, a young widow, my kids were 7, my kids will be going off to college, I go to every Catholic Church event, heal me oh Lord
Nice. Just like what we just learned in our Bible study this week, that this trust is the mark of the spiritually mature who through repeated trainings, like an athlete in training, finds that God is worthy of our trust. Hebrews 5: 14: "But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil"
As always Bishop Baron your sermons give such a light on the meaning of these biblical stories that I eagerly look for them Thank you and God bless you always.
My family and I are going to live in a desert state to give our kids a better quality of life and hopefully a solid Christian community which we don’t have where we currently are. This meditation is very helpful.
Wow what an incredible message from Bishop Barron! Just exactly what I need it to hear during these forty days of Lent. I need to break my habits of dependency, I have to look for the water of the Divine Grace and I won’t thirst again. Thanks BB for a great homily. Message sent from Guatemala 🇬🇹
If your conversion seems slow, it may be better to think of it as a 'road to Emmaus' thing rather than a 'road to Damascus' thing. It's all in Luke 24, and has helped me a lot in my own journey.
I can’t do much for you (in comparison to Bishop Barren knowledge regarding the scriptures), but I can recommend reading Mere Christianity when you get the time (I recall BB praising that book in another video). That one helped me understand the finer details of the Christian life. Other than that, I can promise to pray that God makes your road to Him clear; God be with you.
Dear building better world's pray to the holy spirit to enlighten and open your spiritual eyes and soften your heart. I pray the holy spirit will lead you into all truth.
I find Bishop Barron exceptionally gifted ad a preacher. No idle moment when I listen to him. I get glued. May the Lord continue to bless him in his work of sharing Gods words.
Thank You Lord for Bishop Robert Barron’s podcast which reminds me of “Luke 6: 36-38” which I write in memo section of personal checks. Praise God! ✝️🕊❤️🤗🙏🏻
We thanks God that this great lesson you taught us today in this great story of old testament in your homily your being increases in the measure as you give away which St John Paul called it as you said the gift of law.This law applies very much in our time of scarcity in particular today's context. Once agine I thank your Lordship as psalm said my mouth shall speak words of wisdom which you teach us in every homily you make. God bless you.
Powerful sermon 🌹Thanks So Much! And I love your interpretation of the readings. Mel Brooks for sure🤣😂🤣😂God bless you. You have Truly been Sent😉😉 Blessings 😌
I was walking to my art course the other day and listened to this by “accident”… I had never heard of this Elijah story. Well, when I arrived at my course, I walked into a different class - not mine - and there were all different icons on the tables. I walked right up to one of Elijah and the ravens. I was dumbstruck. And the next minute a man walked up noticing me admiring his icon. I told him my incredible story of just hearing the story of Elijah on my way to the studio. I introduced myself and so did he. My name is ELIJAH, he said. Wow 🎉 Thank you bishop Barron and God bless your words and the word of the holy Bible ❤🙏🏻
Outstanding focused sermon on the need to trust in the Lord. To be a symbol of love by giving. In giving you are given. Keeping the mind and purpose straight that you give out of love and not expectations of receiving, the universe God gives back to you in abundance.
I am single no wife or children something made me to listen to you this morning yes I lost everything but there have been people that been helping me and I gave the only position that I have was my father watch to my cousin it's so funny that this surmont reflects on me this Sunday
True story: I once had almost no money, literally pennies, so I tested God. What I did was I went to mass on Friday, gave all of my money to the collection basket save my fare home and told God, "Ok, your move." Saturday, I ate whatever was in the kitchen and stayed home. That Sunday somebody gave me a hundred dollars. I told God I'd never do that again. 😅
I have returned to this message multiple times this week. I have been called to foster/adopt but have been avoiding completing the application. I've been afraid for the sake of my own resources. Yesterday I had a call about a child that I may potentially adopt. The first thing that came to mind was the line, "Your being increases in the measure you give it away." Pray for me on this journey. God bless.
Gracias Bishop Robert por sus palabras sobre la sequía espiritual , con la oración, la comunión y la solidaridad y amor hacía los demás saldremos de ella y nos acercamos más a Dios
My Name is Maité Dias from Goa India, just turned 81 on Nov 6 2021 , lost my Husband of 56 yrs + 5 yrs of Courtship( 61 yrs together ,a hopeful candidate for the Nobel Prize) , and have been a FAN of BISHOP BARRON aeons.

God bless you loving n loved n greatly admired Bishop n keep you safe under HIS EAGLE WINGS. Please pray for my My Grandkids.
Thank you so much Bishop Barron. You're the one whom God is sending to me today! May God bless you and your ministry... that you may continue to touch the hearts of many! The prophet Elijah has always been a father and mentor to me in terms of trust and complete surrender to God. In these trying moments of my life when all doors are close one after the other, sources are drying up... and finally, I've hit the wall! And I told God, " Are you joking me?" Haha. Lol. And Bishop said it so plainly! Thank you Bishop for speaking to this poor heart of mine! God is a loving Father.. He is always up to something!
Many tks Bishop Barron.......Your words to trust in God ...increases our will to do so. I dont hear you so often these days and when I do get the chance to listen to your preaching, I feel each time that you have sent me a lovely prayer to God!!
Once again, a beautiful intresting sermon. Thank you Bishop Barron, i enjoyed your sermon so much that i heard it twice. May GOD bless you abundantly. Stay safe. ➕❤
Bishop Barron: I have sent this video to one of my sisters, who lives very difficult moments. I was speaking with her when I have seen your video notification. It is for her, I could not believe it!! She don't understand English but she will UNDERSTAND the message with the subtitles. Thank you so much, my favourite american bishop. I always listen to you, I pray for you. God bless you, greetings from Spain! 🙏

I recently moved house and once I realized I had an space on an empty wall, I promptly bought this sticker and look at it 24/7.
What does my sticker say?
"Do not let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God."
- John 14:1
This verse was also the devotion I read when I was in Finland, by myself for a vacation, and deeply worried about something.
I remembered praying to God "If I am not worried, I am lying. But I trust in you O God."
Before I knew what happened, the problem was solved. Scratch that. A miracle happened to me. Up to today, I never forgot and I strongly believe that the miracle happened because I trusted in God. ❤
God bless all of you and your families and I pray that God watches over you and you know that your loved by the lord God so always remember to trust in the lord no matter what even if your believes are tested and have a blessed day in Jesus name Amen 🙏
👍
Being angry, disappointed ...it wears you down...
I'm trying...really trying.
Dear Bishop Barron, this message is meant for me today. Thank you for being an instrument of God. The law of the gift is what we need to remember always. Everything is for a reason; not our reasons but God's. Thank you.
This man is amazing...
True story - I just finished watching a video where the host was answering questions. Many of the questions centered around saying they are tired of "holding the line" and that they are thinking about giving in because they want something to happen according to when "they" want it. I responded "are you courage or are you simply grey matter?" And " are you sentient beings or sheep"? But then, rather than doing my normal fury; I wrote "trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not really upon your own understandings." We are not in our time, we are in the Lord's time. I suggested they go deep within themselves to hear his voice. That was all I could do; then I was led here. When we/I listen to God, this is what he does for us/me; another piece in my puzzle 🙏

Exactly what I needed to hear, a young widow, my kids were 7, my kids will be going off to college, I go to every Catholic Church event, heal me oh Lord
Putting your faith in the hands of God! I could do that. Thank you Bishop.
🙏
Thank you 🙏🏻 Bishop Barrón . God send you this morning to speak to me . I was crying when I open my phone and you pop up . God bless you 🙏🏻
Nice. Just like what we just learned in our Bible study this week, that this trust is the mark of the spiritually mature who through repeated trainings, like an athlete in training, finds that God is worthy of our trust. Hebrews 5: 14: "But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil"
As always Bishop Baron your sermons give such a light on the meaning of these biblical stories that I eagerly look for them Thank you and God bless you always.
Hello Betty how are you doing
My family and I are going to live in a desert state to give our kids a better quality of life and hopefully a solid Christian community which we don’t have where we currently are. This meditation is very helpful.
O Lord, may we have the heart to listen..
O Lord, may we trust in You to leave our ‘comfort zone’ so that You may be glorified 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
Wow what an incredible message from Bishop Barron! Just exactly what I need it to hear during these forty days of Lent. I need to break my habits of dependency, I have to look for the water of the Divine Grace and I won’t thirst again. Thanks BB for a great homily. Message sent from Guatemala 🇬🇹
And so, my tortuously slow Damascene conversion continues. I'm not quite there, yet. But BB's sermons help a lot.
If your conversion seems slow, it may be better to think of it as a 'road to Emmaus' thing rather than a 'road to Damascus' thing. It's all in Luke 24, and has helped me a lot in my own journey.
@@Hellyers thanks, friend. I'll seek it out.
I can’t do much for you (in comparison to Bishop Barren knowledge regarding the scriptures), but I can recommend reading Mere Christianity when you get the time (I recall BB praising that book in another video). That one helped me understand the finer details of the Christian life. Other than that, I can promise to pray that God makes your road to Him clear; God be with you.
Dear building better world's pray to the holy spirit to enlighten and open your spiritual eyes and soften your heart. I pray the holy spirit will lead you into all truth.
@@precisi0n86 niggling doubts, having been immersed secular rationalism my whole life.
Please pray for me. I not generous. My God forgive me and give me grace to love others. Amen.
Thanks Bishop. I’m one of those people you mentioned who needed to hear this
Best storyteller in the business !!
Beautiful, “ the Law of the Gift” explained in words to live by. Amen🙏🏽
I find Bishop Barron exceptionally gifted ad a preacher. No idle moment when I listen to him. I get glued. May the Lord continue to bless him in his work of sharing Gods words.

Thank You Lord for Bishop Robert Barron’s podcast which reminds me of
“Luke 6: 36-38” which I write in memo section of personal checks. Praise God! ✝️🕊❤️🤗🙏🏻
Praise God who gives us our daily bread, even in a famine!!! Give and it will be given to you in FULL MEASURE!
Thank you, Thank you , THANK YOU 🙏
Love to watch your videos before heading off to mass. I like the somewhat different and often deeper perspective.
We thanks God that this great lesson you taught us today in this great story of old testament in your homily your being increases in the measure as you give away which St John Paul called it as you said the gift of law.This law applies very much in our time of scarcity in particular today's context.
Once agine I thank your Lordship as psalm said my mouth shall speak words of wisdom which you teach us in every homily you make.
God bless you.
10:20. “Your being increases in the measure that you give it away”
Powerful sermon 🌹Thanks So Much! And I love your interpretation of the readings. Mel Brooks for sure🤣😂🤣😂God bless you. You have Truly been Sent😉😉 Blessings 😌
I was walking to my art course the other day and listened to this by “accident”… I had never heard of this Elijah story. Well, when I arrived at my course, I walked into a different class - not mine - and there were all different icons on the tables. I walked right up to one of Elijah and the ravens. I was dumbstruck. And the next minute a man walked up noticing me admiring his icon. I told him my incredible story of just hearing the story of Elijah on my way to the studio. I introduced myself and so did he. My name is ELIJAH, he said. Wow 🎉
Thank you bishop Barron and God bless your words and the word of the holy Bible ❤🙏🏻
Outstanding focused sermon on the need to trust in the Lord. To be a symbol of love by giving. In giving you are given. Keeping the mind and purpose straight that you give out of love and not expectations of receiving, the universe God gives back to you in abundance.
I needed to hear this today. Thank you. God bless you.
I lost my wife and feeding myself with Bishops Wisdom really helps.
I am single no wife or children something made me to listen to you this morning yes I lost everything but there have been people that been helping me and I gave the only position that I have was my father watch to my cousin it's so funny that this surmont reflects on me this Sunday
ANYONE WHO READS THIS YOU DON'T WALK ALONE. 🦋✨🙏🥀📿👵
True story: I once had almost no money, literally pennies, so I tested God. What I did was I went to mass on Friday, gave all of my money to the collection basket save my fare home and told God, "Ok, your move." Saturday, I ate whatever was in the kitchen and stayed home. That Sunday somebody gave me a hundred dollars. I told God I'd never do that again. 😅
If I am not wrong. The act of give has to be an act of Love!
Now that's what I'm talking about. Amen, Brother
@@lauragambini6279 Agreed, Laura. God Bless.
☦️🙇♂🙏Godbless Father AmeN🙏🙇♂☦️
We really need to trusted in our lord lord..
I have returned to this message multiple times this week. I have been called to foster/adopt but have been avoiding completing the application. I've been afraid for the sake of my own resources.
Yesterday I had a call about a child that I may potentially adopt. The first thing that came to mind was the line, "Your being increases in the measure you give it away." Pray for me on this journey. God bless.
Gracias Bishop Robert por sus palabras sobre la sequía espiritual , con la oración, la comunión y la solidaridad y amor hacía los demás saldremos de ella y nos acercamos más a Dios

Thank you so much Bishop Barron. You're the one whom God is sending to me today! May God bless you and your ministry... that you may continue to touch the hearts of many!
The prophet Elijah has always been a father and mentor to me in terms of trust and complete surrender to God. In these trying moments of my life when all doors are close one after the other, sources are drying up... and finally, I've hit the wall! And I told God, " Are you joking me?" Haha.
Lol. And Bishop said it so plainly!
Thank you Bishop for speaking to this poor heart of mine!
God is a loving Father.. He is always up to something!
wow! Bishop Barron explains it so simple yet so deep and easy to understand. Thanks!!!

Very inspiring! I like what Bishop Barron mentioned about being alert, attentive to the people in your life. You may help them or they may help you.
Bishop Barron: I have sent this video to one of my sisters, who lives very difficult moments. I was speaking with her when I have seen your video notification. It is for her, I could not believe it!! She don't understand English but she will UNDERSTAND the message with the subtitles. Thank you so much, my favourite american bishop. I always listen to you, I pray for you. God bless you, greetings from Spain! 🙏
