Bishop Barron - I hit the wall last year during the pandemic when the Churches were closed and we had to partake of Spiritual Communion while watching Mass online....I had just finished Chemotherapy and a round of Radiation of Stage 1 Cervical Cancer. I was never a very strong believer in Spiritual Communion, but now I MOST DEFINITELY AM! Now, I can receive the Eucharist, but Spiritual Communion sustained me and gave me strength to go on, by the way, I AM CANCER FREE TODAY. Praise Jesus!!! - God is good all the time, all the time God is good!
@@gollygosh5101 that is nonsense. Churches were closed to protect life - haven't enough Americans died from Covid? 600,000 is a ridiculous number, it should never have reached so many. Churches were closed to save any more from dying God Bless you brother (or sister)
Again and again, Bishop Barron points out the essence of our Catholicism. Not for a moment does he retreat or intellectually embellish the raw truths of our faith. He sustains me in my life through his unswerving reverence for our faith and his function as teacher and guide. May God continue to bless the world with his presence.
Did you hear what the bishop said? Elijah kills the four hundred or so priests of the other group. That kind of sustains your faith? What kind of brute are you?
I hit the wall in my late teens when I had clinical depression. Psychiatrists gave me all kinds of pills, I had to take them for a long time. And later in life I realized that was never the issue. I was raised as if God didn't exist. As secular as you can possibly get. And I have always been an exceptionally curious child. I needed answers. The thought of death made me literally ill with anguish. And there was no one there to answer. My questions were dismissed as too abstract or as impractical and useless. I began to get out of that when I was exposed to the words of Jesus for the first time. And thanks primarily to bishop Barron I am now finishing my catechism and hopefully being baptized Catholic in a few weeks. I now have the ability to look back and diagnose what exactly was wrong with me. I was dying from spiritual starvation and dehydration. People, teach your kids to pray.
Well lucky you. 2016 was the beginning of my health and family crises. I prayed day and night for help and the more I prayed the worse things got. I understand that when people pray God sometimes says no ,but I experienced extra punishment the more I prayed , so I stopped praying because I simply cannot endure any more punishment from a God that hates me.
"... even if all the physical hunger of the world were satisfied, even if everyone who is hungry was fed by his or her own labor or by the generosity of others, the deepest hunger of man would still exist ... Therfore, I say, come to Christ. He is the Bread of Life. Come to Christ and you will never be hungry again." *ST. POPE JOHN PAUL II*
People clamor to see pop stars, Hollywood actors, sports figures , politicians and the like but Truly, if people understood that Jesus Christ is alive & well; here today & we can visit him in any tabernacle & eat His Divine Body each Sunday ( or daily, as in “our daily bread”) what a different world we would be🙌🏻 Amen to the Bread of Life, Jesus Christ! Let us 🙏 that we may become like Him through participation in the Heavenly banquet!
I absolutely believe in the Real Presence!! I am done with a symbolic faith, church, and savior and what joy. I feel sorry for those who believe that way what if they end up with a symbolic heaven?
We Catholics are so endowed with many celestial gifts and we throw them away. Thinking about this reality makes me shiver because God made it possible for me to KNOW THE TRUTH and I just prefer seeing Netflix or other streaming services, I prefer a movie than receiving the BREAD OF LIFE. It is just inconceivable when I reflect that I have all I need in God but then I drink from the sewer of the world. O Lord, make me mad for you.
Thirty-seven years ago on a hot summer's night, I hit rock bottom and had a very mystical experience that completely changed my life after calling upon Christ repeatedly. I have spent the last 37 years finding answers through that experience that have totally changed my life. He is here and is working to build His Kingdom. God Bless you, Your Excellency.
Thank You Bishop. I am in my seventh decade and only missed mass when I caught polio in 1953, and now COVID. I still view the online Mass daily and hope soon to get back into the communion of believers.
Check out All Saints Parish in Guilford, Indiana. Fr. Jonathan Meyer (& Fr. Mahan newly there). Fr. Meyer is a powerful homilist! The parish has a fascinating history...All Saints is actually 4 campuses (churches) that they "saved" from being shut down maybe 6 or 7 years ago. They also have a "Fifth Campus" which is online parishioners from around the country & world. It's a very dynamic parish, You can go to their website to get mass times, but they have most on TH-cam also. I support the parish as it's so clear they are doing God's work. God bless you Randy!
Thanks so much from Queensland Australia Bishop Barron! Your videos are essential and enormously encouraging! I've been devouring them and telling others they ought watch. You have a wonderful gift for spreading and galvanising The One True Faith! A beautiful, gentle, polished and eloquent approach.
Thank you Bishop Barron for this timely sermon!!! Yes I have felt like that I could not go on, physically, mentally nor spiritually!!! So I had an outright spill of what was on my heart to our God! Then came time for my meditation time with God. I chose on TH-cam Catholic music as background music. As I was reflecting upon my words I had prayed to God about, I realized how wrong they sounded! After repenting I began to recognize the tune and few of the lyrics came to mind. Then I began to search where I could find the total lyrics to this Hymn. Much to my surprise I found the Hymn! Then I looked up in the Bible from where they came! They came from Isaiah and how reassuring was the Scripture passage! Your interpretation of John 6, Bishop has given me the same effect! Yes! Our Lord Jesus is the Bread of Life and we need Him to be spiritually alive in us for eternity!!! We/I need Him right now physically and mentally also, He who gives us/me peace, not as the world gives, He who energizes, gives us/me strength and hope to get up and carry on walking with Him on our/ my life journey towards eternity... May the Lord bless you greatly Bishop Barron!!!
I throw myself in God's arms at the tabernacle in the middle of my work day. I'm usually weary by 2 pm. I'm blessed that I work less than a mile from our parish. I usually leave refreshed and ready to continue with my day.
I've heard this story many times, but it never really gets old. I experienced that after the "Eucharistic drought" that hit in Lent 2020 and we were finally able to bring communion to the sick. They literally hungered for that real presence of Christ in their bodies. We must never allow such a drought to strike again.
I hit my wall when my husband died in May. I remember asking God to take my life, too. I felt I could not go on living…that my life was meaningless. What sustained me was the Word of God. The Daily Readings were very helpful. It helped me not to look at my present circumstance but at God’s promises. Jesus truly is my Savior! I love these sermons! It just brings home so many points so that I can better understand the Bible. Thank you Bishop!
I have this desperate yearning for The Eucharist , I was baptised Anglican but am in the process of converting to The Catholic Faith & I need the body & blood of Christ more than anything
As a 63 year old mom, I can assure you that nothing exists that can possibly compare to the joy and extraordinary love you will experience with the Eucharist. God bless you.
Isn't it so wonderful that the same Liturgy is being followed in each and every Universal Catholic Church on the same day? Heard a nice homily from my Parish Priest this morning, found that overwhelming joy and peace again in receiving Jesus in the Holy Eucharist...what more can one ask for?
I'm 63 Father Catholic school at age 5 I was taught That Priest change the Bread into The Body of Christ and The wine into The Blood of Christ and ONLY A CATHOLIC PRIEST CAN DO THIS,age 5 Father I knew
In cycling it’s called “bonking”: hitting the wall - having zero stores of energy (carbohydrates) to go on .. AT ALL. It’s not serendipity that I bonked (spiritually) about a week ago. Usually when that happens we think we can just dig in and “try harder” .. but self-reliance is spiritual suicide. As in in cycling, ‘If you’re hungry, it’s too late’ .. and very humbling to have to admit “ *I* can’t do this.” Perfect sermon, perfect timing (for me anyway).
Que tristeza esos datos de los que no creen en la Presencia Real y de los que no asisten a Misa!! Qué se puede hacer? Pues qué ese proceso de renovación Eucarística qué están por comenzar los obispos de EEUU de frutos de Amor a Jesús y la Eucaristía 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Así sea!
I can hear nones saying, “It’s not as simple as going to Mass.” I realize that in a short homily you can’t go into depth about how to experience God. But that’s what is so hard for people to do. Otherwise, 70% would be zero. Your talks about prayer, “take the time”, and other elemental things are very helpful to people who are so caught up in this worldly existence. “Lord, please help me” are words these people don’t say because they can’t believe that he can. Fundamentals of prayer, of trying to connect with the Divine, are most helpful. And repetition. You are bringing light to the world, Bishop. Please don’t be discouraged. God bless you.
Maravilloso. Gracias por llevar a cabo este trabajo. Siempre aprendo y también recuerdo las ideas que quizás por el afán del dia a dia no tengo presentes.
Thank you Bishop Barron! You really make things simple for us lay people to understand our deep Catholic faith. To be honest after listening to you for years, I've seen how priest struggling to explain through homily the message that can connect to us laypeople (I pray for all the priest out there and I am truly grateful for the service they are rendering for us, yet I am only saying about communicating the message), thus, I help myself after attending Holy Mass every Sunday I'll wait for your Sunday Sermon to clarify what our parish priest were trying to say by listening to your message Bishop Barron, and then there comes the "AHA moment, ah I see". Thank you very much! God bless you and your family and ministry!
Thankyou Father. This year I nearly turned my back and walked away from the Church and my Faith. My Mother and younger Sister passed away within a few months of each other, and my work supporting people with multiple learning difficulties has been challenging with the pandemic situation. I was turning to occult practices. I have hit that wall this month. I have confessed personally and without reservation to Jesus as advised as I can't get to confession until later this week and I wish to confess my sin to you my Brothers and Sistets and reconcile. This video came just at the right time and told me what I needed to hear. Thankyou and God Bless.
Great, Bp. Barron! I always listen to your Sunday Homilies. I am a Salesian priest from Myanmar and I appreciate your Talks and Reflections a lot! I also translated some of your Talks like " The Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist in Burmese". God bless you and wish you ever more fruitful in your ministry!
I REALLY needed this sermon. I had hit that strange spiritual wall the last few weeks where my enthusiasm for our faith was at a very low level. Now I feel it coming back… wow. Thank you Bishop 👍
Thank you, Bishop Barron, for this important reminder that we Catholics should not be shy away from the Bread of Life, the Eucharist, our Lord, Jesus Christ, Himself, regardless. I've been shy away from It since covid started and been longing for the Eucharist, no doubt. It's like feeling something is really missing from me. However, been feeling quite guilty and cannot pass this point yet, but I recalled Jesus, our Lord, is Merciful, and I could only hope His Grace will take me as I am (habitual sinner) and if not, I'll never be saved from eternal damnation with His Almighty Hand. Please pray for me, Bishop Barron, my brothers and sisters, to the Lord, our God. 🙏
I experienced hitting the wall. I remember being in tears in a field on my hobby farm at a time where my spirit had shifted from the deepest sadness to the vacuum of joylessness. At that moment, I learnt that trust in Christ, however fragile and shaky, is a thousand times stronger than self-sufficiency. I really get that 70% you are talking about, bishop. One cannot not even feel hungry for God from constantly eating the junk food served by the illusion of self-sufficiency. Levis Shalom
I'm an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I want say what an excellent and powerful sermon. I fully agree with the points made. I also feel that everyone (It doesn't matter which religion or denomination they are from) should listen and learn what they can from sermons, talks, speeches and lessons like this one.
I have never stopped believing in the real presence, and today, it is needed more than ever for EVERYONE. We NEED the Liturgy, and we NEED Christ in the Eucharist. For ourselves and all those we are meant to serve.
So simple, but so profound! The juxtaposition of bread of this world that lasts briefly compared with the Bread of Life that lasts forever! Beautiful and well said. Thank you for this Eucharistic moment. ✨
As always, excellent sermon, in particular the way you delivery the message; it captures attention, you make it easy to follow and understand, allowing us to "want" to listen. Thank you and may God bless you!!
God bless you Bishop Barron, you always stir a flame in our hearts. When you reveal the scriptures to us, you enable us to understand. . More importantly to feel the love of Jesus our Lord .🛐
Yes, every earthly day is a challenge and without heavenly food and as you say... we will certainly hit the wall sooner or later. The word of God is the bread that carries us unto eternal life... Lord help me go on.
So beautiful, its amazing how he explains and connects the dots in the bible and makes it simple for us to find Jesus. God bless him, I hope he never stops making these sermons online.
What is hard is when you ‘hit the wall’ and are going to mass, visiting the blessed sacrament, going to confession, receiving communion and saying rosaries and novenas just to experience a crumb of God’s presence. If anyone is going through this I eventually found comfort in St John of the Cross’ description of the Dark Night of the Soul. A priest I was meeting with dismissed that I could be going through this, saying only holy souls experience this. I felt hopeless like God truly had forsaken me. But others have come to reassure me over time that this is not necessarily the case and we are all destined for holiness. One of St Francis of Assisi’s brothers experienced something similar and St. Francis told him it was a test from the evil one that will result in the brother’s greater glory in heaven. However, it was too much for the poor brother to bear and he was relieved of it. If anyone else has gone or is going through this please don’t give up. I’m praying for you. St John of the Cross says God is even closer to us in those dark nights, even if we don't feel His presence.
Jesus is All That Is Holy and Excellent. When we eat His Flesh and drink His Blood we partake of His Holiness and Excellence. Thank you Bishop for all you do for Jesus and for us❤✝️🌹
Gracias. Habla bien, es creyente, y enseña a hablar y vivir. Felicidades por esos momentos de reflexión sobre la Eucaristía. Buen problema en el mundo, en Estados Unidos, Europa, Alemania. ¡Hemos perdido la fe en la Eucaristía, en Jesús! Me alegro de que haya tenido experiencias fuertes de límite, de estar para no poder seguir ya.
Living as I do in a long-term facility, I am unable to attend Mass physically. But your homilies, in explanation of the Sunday readings, help me sustain my faith. I was baptised by Mons. Barron of the Diocese of Waterford, Ireland, to whom I' m sure you are related.

The Real Presence is exactly what Christ said, "this is my body, this is my blood."
And, so it is.
God bless you too Bishop Barron.
This Sunday sermon was very crucial to our Christian life.
Perfect homily to explain why mass attendance is not optional but absolutely necessary.
Amen!

One cannot not even feel hungry for God from constantly eating the junk food served by the illusion of self-sufficiency.

BREAD OF LIFE Amen 'So be it Father'... "THE CHRIST" Wonderful Thank you! ... "Our Lord"
God bless you Bishop Barron😇🙏🏽🙂❤️🕊️
I'm an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I want say what an excellent and powerful sermon. I fully agree with the points made. I also feel that everyone (It doesn't matter which religion or denomination they are from) should listen and learn what they can from sermons, talks, speeches and lessons like this one.
I have never stopped believing in the real presence, and today, it is needed more than ever for EVERYONE. We NEED the Liturgy, and we NEED Christ in the Eucharist. For ourselves and all those we are meant to serve.
So simple, but so profound! The juxtaposition of bread of this world that lasts briefly compared with the Bread of Life that lasts forever! Beautiful and well said. Thank you for this Eucharistic moment. ✨

A wonderful aid to help us when we “hit the wall”. Thank you 🙏
As always, excellent sermon, in particular the way you delivery the message; it captures attention, you make it easy to follow and understand, allowing us to "want" to listen.
Thank you and may God bless you!!
As an avid road cyclist I know exactly what the ‘WALL’ is. Physically and spiritually demoralising.
Thanks Bishop Barron
God bless you Bishop Barron, you always stir a flame in our hearts. When you reveal the scriptures to us, you enable us to understand. .
More importantly to feel the love of Jesus our Lord .🛐
Thanks Bishop for always giving us strength.. Thanks for being a goood witness..
beautiful homily
Very convincing.
Yes, every earthly day is a challenge and without heavenly food and as you say... we will certainly hit the wall sooner or later. The word of God is the bread that carries us unto eternal life... Lord help me go on.
You “bonked” while cycling. Not enough fuel. Your sermons are tremendous.
So beautiful, its amazing how he explains and connects the dots in the bible and makes it simple for us to find Jesus. God bless him, I hope he never stops making these sermons online.
Magnificent sermon bishop Barron. Thank you!
God bless you Bishop a blessed week.
What is hard is when you ‘hit the wall’ and are going to mass, visiting the blessed sacrament, going to confession, receiving communion and saying rosaries and novenas just to experience a crumb of God’s presence. If anyone is going through this I eventually found comfort in St John of the Cross’ description of the Dark Night of the Soul. A priest I was meeting with dismissed that I could be going through this, saying only holy souls experience this. I felt hopeless like God truly had forsaken me. But others have come to reassure me over time that this is not necessarily the case and we are all destined for holiness. One of St Francis of Assisi’s brothers experienced something similar and St. Francis told him it was a test from the evil one that will result in the brother’s greater glory in heaven. However, it was too much for the poor brother to bear and he was relieved of it. If anyone else has gone or is going through this please don’t give up. I’m praying for you. St John of the Cross says God is even closer to us in those dark nights, even if we don't feel His presence.
You don’t have to feel hopeless but filled with joy and happiness…. The Lord will never forsake his child nor let anything happen… Remain Blessed 🙏🏻
@@Steve-cf3lm Thank you very much. God bless.
@@ginatom4449 Bless you Gina
A big thank you, Bishop Baron, for spiritual enlightenment on the "Bread of Life". May the Lord shower you with His grace and blessings !
Thank you and God bless!
Indeed, we truly need to go to the source to sustain our life now, and the Eternal Life that is coming.
Jesus is All That Is Holy and Excellent. When we eat His Flesh and drink His Blood we partake of His Holiness and Excellence. Thank you Bishop for all you do for Jesus and for us❤✝️🌹
Gracias. Habla bien, es creyente, y enseña a hablar y vivir. Felicidades por esos momentos de reflexión sobre la Eucaristía. Buen problema en el mundo, en Estados Unidos, Europa, Alemania. ¡Hemos perdido la fe en la Eucaristía, en Jesús! Me alegro de que haya tenido experiencias fuertes de límite, de estar para no poder seguir ya.
Living as I do in a long-term facility, I am unable to attend Mass physically. But your homilies, in explanation of the Sunday readings, help me sustain my faith. I was baptised by Mons. Barron of the Diocese of Waterford, Ireland, to whom I'
m sure you are related.
God bless you, Gerald!
God bless you!
