I will never stop trusting in Jesus even as I’m still struggling putting groceries in the refrigerator, and paying bills. I’m a single mother. Like many others, I lost my job as a social worker because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition (Lupus) and Heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption from Forsyth Hospital. I’m waitressing but not making nearly enough to make ends meet. My husband is in heaven with God. I’m all alone. No family nor friends. Both of my sons are autistic, and non verbal so they require a lot from me. Every month is a struggle, a battle to not end up on the streets. Im so tired and I want to give up. BUT I HAVE FAITH GOD WILL PROVIDE. He has this far. Thank you Jesus. I BELIEVE. Faith over fear!
I pray for families with special needs children every Monday. I'll include you in the prayers. Firstly, that the Lord continues to give abundant mercy to your household.
wow you are amazing! Makes me feel ashamed about how I crib and complain about my comparatively easy and comfortable life. May God shower you with his graces to be strong and to be a saint. May he give you all you need to take care of your family . I will keep you in my prayers.
I pray God blesses you and your sons with gifts of the holy spirit … no situation lasts forever- this too shall pass. Keep the faith and may your faith always sustain you
*Bishop Barron:* If it could just sink into our hearts, that God is crazy in love with us, then we'd be willing and able to respond with an equally extravagant gift of love.
ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA: “O eternal beauty! O eternal goodness! O eternal mercy! O crazy lover! You have need of your creature? It seems so to me, for you act as if you could not live without her. Why are you so crazy? Because you have fallen in love with what you have made! You are pleased and delighted over her, as if you were drunk with desire for her salvation. She runs away from you and you go looking for her. She strays and you draw closer to her.”
Spent my whole 26 years of life searching for truth. Found Satan first, realized if he was real, then God must be. Abandoned all my ruinous ways, still struggle, but I never had a very heartfelt father. So I gave it all to God like I had always longed to with my Earthly one. My Father in heaven has given it 10 fold back. Shalom whew, he is like a heart beating, waves gently rolling to the shores of a soft beach. At the end of that journey God the greatest almighty Father showed me His Son. My whole life searching for things to fill it up with. At the end of it all was Christ waiting for me. He is my greatest treasure, I try to give Him to anyone willing to accept Him.
They say wherever a man’s treasure is there his heart will be. Well, where is God’s Heart? In the tabernacle. In the Eucharist. In us. God treasures us!
ST. POPE JOHN PAUL II: God loves us not because we have merited it or are worthy of it; rather, God’s love for us is freely given and unearned, surpassing all we could ever hope for or imagine. God loves you all, without distinction, without limit. He loves those of you who are elderly, who feel the burden of the years. He loves those of you who are sick, those of you who are suffering from AIDS and from AIDS-related diseases. He loves the relatives and friends of the sick and those who care for them. He loves us all with an unconditional and everlasting love.
Thank you Bishop Barron for this good word! I have a new granddaughter that I am “crazy in love with.” Actually I have loved her since before she was even born. This message from the Bishop made me realize that the deep love I am experiencing for my baby granddaughter is only a tiny fraction of Gods “vast crazy love” for me. This has really opened my eyes to the incomprehensible love of God! ❤
Been struggling with losing jobs due to hard circumstances but I had a breakdown earlier this past day. God give me rest and don’t let the end of the world happen yet oh God. Amen ☦️
I get your point, but must say, none of us is worthy of Love. God gives us his Perfect Love, freely. He gives us Perfect Joy, freely. He will NEVER take it away. All we have to do is, by our acceptance, dwell in it.
How my Lord. How can you be so Loving? You’re my joy, you are my refuge, you’re my life line, you are my Father that helps me up when I put my arms up. May I be not the older son or the younger son, may I be the sister or the servant that helps put the party together. I’ll decorate and have the food and drink ready for the party of welcome for God’s children at His beck and call. I’ll always make the warmest, most delicious party for My Father, for my brothers and sisters. I love you my King, my Lord, my Father, Amor de mis amores, My one and only Love, my Peace, my All. Amen
Bishop Barron, I left your homily today. But it hit so close to home and it breaks my heart. In 2016 my mother passed away, my dad had already passed away in 2009. We sold the family home last year. I have two younger brothers. Before my dad passed away, he specifically told me that he did not want the youngest brother to receive any inheritance from him or my mom. He has been struggling with drugs since returning from the first Gulf war many years ago. Over the past 30 years, I personally have housed him, giving him money, helped him get some jobs, looked for resources through the VA that would help him. He has been in and out of the veterans homeless shelter many times. About three and a half years before I sold the house last year, he asked me if he could stay with me for 3 weeks, until he could get back in to the homeless shelter for veterans. 3 weeks turned into three and a half years. He told my car, I found out he was selling drugs out of my home, and the list goes on and on. My other brother and I decided after the house had sold, to give him $20,000. It was to go to a new car, that was reliable, and the rest would go into a savings account in case of an emergency. He swore he would do this. I moved into a 55 and older active senior apartment community. I got a two bedroom two bath. He insisted that he come live with me. But I would not have it. I had finally had enough I couldn't handle him anymore. We gave him the $20,000 in May, by July it was all gone, and he called my other brother and asked for $2,000 because the clunker of a car he bought was in the shop. My brother graciously gave him the $2,000 and got the car out of the mechanics for him. My younger brother has said that my mother told him that she wanted him to have a third of everything. My mother had Alzheimer's she was in no position to say what she wanted at that time. When my dad was still alive, and she was a bright mind, they both expressed to me as the executor of their will that he was to get nothing, unless he was living in his own place he had a car he had a job and was self-sufficient. That has never happened. Last september, a year ago, he called me and told me that I was the most evil person in the world, how could I let him be homeless. We have not spoken a year. It has broken my heart. But, my health is not in the best situation, and stress is a major factor for throwing me into a severe flare-up. We don't talk we haven't seen each other there are no family gatherings anymore. I pray everyday, multiple times a day, that he will be healed, that he will find his way to god, and he will get his self together, and that our family can be healed and brought back together. But he is 56 years old, he's been living this way since he was in his early twenties, I don't have a lot of faith that that is going to happen in my lifetime. But on the other hand I know that God is the god of the impossible, he can make this happen. I read today's Gospel, and I have to think, am I supposed to go find him bring him back here, let him live with me, with his dog, and support him? Immediately I think, I can't do that. The beautiful community that I live in is also a low income tax exempt property. Which means that if he moves in with me we have to declare his VA disability money that he gets every month, that would kick me out of this community. So this scripture reading today truly hugs at my heart I just don't know what to do. Or rather I know what to do, but it is at what God wants me to do. I ask for your prayers. God bless you and your ministry. ❤️🙏
Your upset mind and heart is known by God, your brother’s struggle is known by God. Don’t give up, look at Jesus and trust in Him. Who promised ‘I will go before you always’? Seek His counsel, and give thanks. Your cross is heavy and Jesus will help you, He will.
I am so sorry to hear about your experience. We are not supposed to help others live an immoral life. Your brother is simply trying to manipulate you into doing what he wants. That's not what God asks from you. I had an abusive marriage where I felt that I had to forgive anything and everything but then I realized that the more I forgave, the worse my then husband treated me because all his evil deeds never met resistance and he came to the conclusion that it was an acceptable behavior, and I was helping him to be the way he was. God cannot ask from you to help someone to persist in evil doing. Love is about forgiving if the person repents and changes. If not, this is the tragedy of the human freedom.
@@kathymullen6496 ; I agree with you fully , under no circumstances take him back and also in regards to this gospel reading , it is important to take it in the right context. Remember the story in the Gospel where Christ had compassion on the woman caught in the act of adultery and the religious leaders wanted her to be stoned to death. Christ forgave her and did not condemn her but He gave her a wise suggestion " you may go but from now on AVOID THIS SIN. God helps those who help themselves and what we sow so shall we reap . Your brother has sowed and he excepts you to reap the consequences . Kathy you have done more than can be expected from any good and compassionate person and for him to say you are an evil person is so so wrong. So not for one moment , Kathy , should you feel any pang of conscience that you are in the wrong .
Thank you so much for this perspective of the 99 sheep and 1 lost one. I know He is crazy about me but how can I be crazy about Him all the time not just some time…
Bishop, you know that crazy is the sanest thing there is! I need a bishop to give me the law, to guide me as a father, and protect me like a shepherd, so I may love as God commands, with reckless abandon!
Bishop Baron, you are indeed our generation's Fulton Sheen; less operatic in delivery, to be sure -- that wouldn't play well with the modern viewer anyway -- but just as brilliant, just as profound, just as eloquent, just as entertaining, and just as impactful. God bless you and thank you for these sermons.
The thing I compare it to to help me understand is how much I love my children. I love them so much that nothing they ever did could make me stop loving them and I just want to be with them and close to their heart all the time. I delight when they talk to me and share their happiness or even sadness with me. I love when they sing off-key. I love watching them figure out difficult tasks and to see the little light from their eyes. I love how sweet and vulnerable they are and I feel a fierce need to protect them. I imagine that is a tiny semblance of how much God loves me and it makes me feel nice to know He does feel that way about me even though I fall short so much ❤️
Hahaha. 30 year old guy here, former child myself. If your kid took every bit love you poured into it and decided to throw it all away and become a self-indulgent creep who burnt out every brain cell and is now a shallow, drug, sex, pornography addicted unemployed loser who is violent toward the woman who he hates but is tethered to due to his addiction being financed by her- Will you still feel that way? I doubt it. I put my parents through hell. I put myself through hell. I have wasted everything
@@francissynergia7385 and yet, you're still loved. You can, at any moment, begin inching towards turning things around. I believe in you. I'm rooting for you. It won't be easy, but you can do it. 🙏
I love you Bishop Barren! I love the way you teach and the way you sound 😂 (I’m a Brit so you’re very refreshing 😉). God is infinite and God is love ergo he’s INFINITE LOVE ❤️ It’s all so obvious when you think about it! Praise God 🙏 Bless you ✌🏽
My mother Rose has lived this way for us stray sheep her whole life. And now she is almost 95. She loved this sermon. "Is he something?" she looked at me after Bishop Barron's homily on the Prodigal Son. Well, I went and told her, "You are something."
Great sermon Bishop Barron. Thank you for telling me again and again how much I am loved by God. He proves it to me every day by waking me up, gets me through the day and night, heals my aches and gives me what I need to survive. I am truly blessed.
Bishop Barron makes good points. God is not finite nor logical nor is he fickle. He is not waiting to abandon us but cleaving to us with 'Yahweh's loyal love,' of which we are forever in our human condition patently unworthy by human but not divine logic. Thank you Bishop Barron.
I've only recently discovered Bishop Barron. Currently listening to his audiobook which is great. I am a cradle Catholic from Poland. I want to reconnect with my faith.
Welcome home dear brother! Keep listening to Bishop Robert…he certainly will guide you aright. Praying my Rosary for you today. Love Trish, Australia.❤
Ive converted to Catholicism after my first daughter was born, and despite my tendency to scrupulosity, being a father really gave me a deep insight on how God the Father loves. There is nothing a daughter or a son can do to deserve being loved by their father. Love and forgiveness are always already there for them, from the beginning and forever. They dont have to make me proud in exchange for love. You only begin to understand Gods love when you love. You only understand Christ's cross when you're willing to die for someone out of love. Its not theory, its practice.
You are a great man, I first saw you when you were with Jonathan Pageau, and I've discovered you are a real gift to the world. Thank you for everything
There is a beautiful story of when God was creating the world. Michael the Archangel was with him, and marveled at all that God was doing. So God said to him, Michael, I want to show you the future, and how things will go. So God showed him all that would happen over the ages, up to when He would go in the form of Jesus to die to redeem all His people. By this time Michael was weeping, and he asked God "Why, if all you have done will be so destroyed that you will have to offer yourself as a sacrifice to save it all? " And God answered, "Michael, If I didn't it would not be love ".
Yes I agree. In the context of Jesus time, shepherds will not bother for a sheep that wandered away. Or a woman for an insignificant penny. People who heard Jesus that day would have chuckled but comforted by the love of God.
One reason the Bible is the revealed word of God is, as Bishop Barron puts it, its craziness. The psalmist in Psalm 139 describes God's way as "strange and wonderful." If the Bible's various writers were to have been left to their own devices they would not have come up with stories like the Prodigal Son, the Lost Sheep, or the Lost Coin.
I got chills of truth when you quoted Saint Catherine of Sienna. Pazzo d’amore indeed. This whole homily brought tears to my eyes. Why do we ignore emotion and focus on logic? In our obsession with order and control over the chaos of love, we miss the point of God’s love. Yet what happens to us when we fall in love, we become sick with love, our logic deserts us. Why is this so uncomfortable for us when it’s Gods daily experience? “Your ways are not my ways.” From the beautiful book of Isaiah. What I can confirm for artists and anyone else who creates anything is that the love one has for each created thing comes from God. Often when I pick up my brushes and paint something beyond my ability, the glory must go to God. After all, He created the hands holding those brushes. I can’t tell you all how many times I’ve painted and not felt like it was me doing the work, but the Holy Spirit. Thank you Bishop Barron. I needed this today. Blessings to you and to the whole world!
Met Father Edward of the Renton. Wa, parish St Jerome [I believe]. He met Bishop Barren personally and took Theological classes under him. God bless him name and forgive me ☦️.
I am crazy in love with God and so delighted to hear he is crazy in love with me. Everyone deserves God’s crazy love and look into their hearts for that
You got it wrong. No one DESERVES God’s love. And some He does not love, some He hates. Psalm 5:5 says all workers of iniquity He hates. Psalm 11:5 says the wicked, and those that love violence, His soul hates. And Romans 9:13 God says Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.
I will never stop trusting in Jesus even as I’m still struggling putting groceries in the refrigerator, and paying bills. I’m a single mother. Like many others, I lost my job as a social worker because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition (Lupus) and Heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption from Forsyth Hospital. I’m waitressing but not making nearly enough to make ends meet. My husband is in heaven with God. I’m all alone. No family nor friends. Both of my sons are autistic, and non verbal so they require a lot from me. Every month is a struggle, a battle to not end up on the streets. Im so tired and I want to give up. BUT I HAVE FAITH GOD WILL PROVIDE. He has this far. Thank you Jesus. I BELIEVE. Faith over fear!

"When you keep the porch light on for the prodigal child, you do what God does every moment." *- Max Lucado*
He keeps it open for me.
Yes, that porch light never dims. It guides the wanderer home if he keeps the Light in his sight.

ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA: “O eternal beauty! O eternal goodness! O eternal mercy! O crazy lover!
You have need of your creature? It seems so to me, for you act as if you could not live without her. Why are you so crazy? Because you have fallen in love with what you have made! You are pleased and delighted over her, as if you were drunk with desire for her salvation. She runs away from you and you go looking for her. She strays and you draw closer to her.”
Spent my whole 26 years of life searching for truth. Found Satan first, realized if he was real, then God must be. Abandoned all my ruinous ways, still struggle, but I never had a very heartfelt father. So I gave it all to God like I had always longed to with my Earthly one. My Father in heaven has given it 10 fold back. Shalom whew, he is like a heart beating, waves gently rolling to the shores of a soft beach. At the end of that journey God the greatest almighty Father showed me His Son. My whole life searching for things to fill it up with. At the end of it all was Christ waiting for me. He is my greatest treasure, I try to give Him to anyone willing to accept Him.
We do crazy things when we are in love. One leaves home and country to be with the person you love. God leaves everything for each one of us.
They say wherever a man’s treasure is there his heart will be. Well, where is God’s Heart? In the tabernacle. In the Eucharist. In us. God treasures us!
ST. POPE JOHN PAUL II: God loves us not because we have merited it or are worthy of it; rather, God’s love for us is freely given and unearned, surpassing all we could ever hope for or imagine.
God loves you all, without distinction, without limit. He loves those of you who are elderly, who feel the burden of the years. He loves those of you who are sick, those of you who are suffering from AIDS and from AIDS-related diseases. He loves the relatives and friends of the sick and those who care for them. He loves us all with an unconditional and everlasting love.

I can feel the love flowing through the bishop here too.
Bishop Barren has brought me fully into the church. I Love this man of God!!!😇
Thank you Bishop Barron.
It is true. Jesus is aching for us. I want so much to be worthy of that love. More than anything else.
Empathy without being condescending, that’s all it takes.
I am Jesús and Michael Jordan es Cristo.
You'll never be worthy of that love, but it doesn't matter, cause He loves you nonetheless. That's the Good News, my Sister!!! 🙂
I love this SO MUCH! it resonates in my heart and is truly who God is. We are asked to also love as He loves……… beautiful !!!
I get your point, but must say, none of us is worthy of Love.
God gives us his Perfect Love, freely.
He gives us Perfect Joy, freely.
He will NEVER take it away.
All we have to do is, by our acceptance, dwell in it.
You are worthy already because you are His child. You don't earn it. You claim your status as His Beloved Child.
So powerfull. Thank you and God blass you!
How my Lord. How can you be so Loving? You’re my joy, you are my refuge, you’re my life line, you are my Father that helps me up when I put my arms up.

"Pazzo d'Amore " Thank you Bishop for reminding us of God's love.
I’m failing. I know what I have to do. But I’m not living it radically the way Bishop Baron explains. Pray for us ❤

I know He is and I'm crazy in love with Him.❤✝
Jesus I love you above all things... Amen ❤
I love this Bishop Baron. He’s crazy in love with us , how absolutely beautiful , how blest are we. ♥️
Thank you so much for this perspective of the 99 sheep and 1 lost one. I know He is crazy about me but how can I be crazy about Him all the time not just some time…
When you follow Jesus, you're never left alone and you're never left behind
AYYYYYY I LOVE THE TITLE LET'S GOOOOOOO
A magnificant exegesis......
The best yet Bishop Barron, may Our Lord continue the the great work he is doing through you.
Dear Bishop Barron you have illustrated this gospel sweetly.Let us not behave like the elder son.Give us a compassionate and merciful heart.
Quite a sermon
Bishop, you know that crazy is the sanest thing there is! I need a bishop to give me the law, to guide me as a father, and protect me like a shepherd, so I may love as God commands, with reckless abandon!

@@francissynergia7385 and yet, you're still loved. You can, at any moment, begin inching towards turning things around. I believe in you. I'm rooting for you. It won't be easy, but you can do it. 🙏
@@francissynergia7385 The fact that you know yourself is a sign of redemption already. You are loved
Thank u for your speech
Beautiful sermon
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you
I do agree, God is "pazzo d'amore". Amen
I love you Bishop Barren! I love the way you teach and the way you sound 😂 (I’m a Brit so you’re very refreshing 😉). God is infinite and God is love ergo he’s INFINITE LOVE ❤️ It’s all so obvious when you think about it! Praise God 🙏 Bless you ✌🏽
Yes, Jesus loves all but hates the sin. He became sin to redeem all.
I’ve not been a fan, Bishop. But I’m open to the truth. And you’re preaching the truth. God bless you, Father.
I love to think about how insanely loving God is. How I pray more people would experience this!
AMEN. This is the most beautiful homily I’ve ever heard. God is so in love with us!!
I agree! This is my favorite of Barron's.
Beautiful and much needed to hear. Thank you Bishop Barron.
I praise God for your priesthood, Bishop! Thank you so much and may God be praised again and again!
Pray for peace
My mother Rose has lived this way for us stray sheep her whole life. And now she is almost 95. She loved this sermon. "Is he something?" she looked at me after Bishop Barron's homily on the Prodigal Son. Well, I went and told her, "You are something."
What a beautiful, refreshing description of Jesus! Pazzo d'amore! 💗🌻
Great sermon Bishop Barron. Thank you for telling me again and again how much I am loved by God. He proves it to me every day by waking me up, gets me through the day and night, heals my aches and gives me what I need to survive. I am truly blessed.
I am blessed . When I hear this message. God bless you Bishop.
Bishop Barron makes good points. God is not finite nor logical nor is he fickle. He is not waiting to abandon us but cleaving to us with 'Yahweh's loyal love,' of which we are forever in our human condition patently unworthy by human but not divine logic. Thank you Bishop Barron.
I will always love Our God, who is merciful and caring for us.
I've only recently discovered Bishop Barron. Currently listening to his audiobook which is great. I am a cradle Catholic from Poland. I want to reconnect with my faith.
Welcome home dear brother! Keep listening to Bishop Robert…he certainly will guide you aright. Praying my Rosary for you today. Love Trish, Australia.❤
Great job Bishop Barron May the Good Lord bless you and your family word on 🔥 fire staff. Praying for all of you !! Keep up the great work
Ive converted to Catholicism after my first daughter was born, and despite my tendency to scrupulosity, being a father really gave me a deep insight on how God the Father loves. There is nothing a daughter or a son can do to deserve being loved by their father. Love and forgiveness are always already there for them, from the beginning and forever. They dont have to make me proud in exchange for love. You only begin to understand Gods love when you love. You only understand Christ's cross when you're willing to die for someone out of love. Its not theory, its practice.
Praying your health is well, Bishop Barron 🙏
You are a great man, I first saw you when you were with Jonathan Pageau, and I've discovered you are a real gift to the world. Thank you for everything
Amen
I am blown away. God is running to meet me, even in my brokenness. Amazing.
Beautiful sermon! Thank you, Bishop Barron!
Hey Bishop Barron, congratulations for the awesome work you're doing for the evangelization. Thank you so so much from Colombia. God bless you 🙏
There is a beautiful story of when God was creating the world. Michael the Archangel was with him, and marveled at all that God was doing. So God said to him, Michael, I want to show you the future, and how things will go. So God showed him all that would happen over the ages, up to when He would go in the form of Jesus to die to redeem all His people. By this time Michael was weeping, and he asked God "Why, if all you have done will be so destroyed that you will have to offer yourself as a sacrifice to save it all? " And God answered, "Michael, If I didn't it would not be love ".
Amen....🙏
Give thanks to the lord
Bishop Barron is gifted and gives his gifts away.
Thank you, Bishop Baron. You really know how to right the ship during a personal storm. God bless you.
CHRIST CONQUERS ALL
Yes I agree. In the context of Jesus time, shepherds will not bother for a sheep that wandered away. Or a woman for an insignificant penny. People who heard Jesus that day would have chuckled but comforted by the love of God.
From the Brasil: I cried with emotion, only a crazy in love is logic!!!
One reason the Bible is the revealed word of God is, as Bishop Barron puts it, its craziness. The psalmist in Psalm 139 describes God's way as "strange and wonderful." If the Bible's various writers were to have been left to their own devices they would not have come up with stories like the Prodigal Son, the Lost Sheep, or the Lost Coin.
wow. fire.
God, unlike human beings, can know fully and still love completely.
Gracias. Dios buenos y misericordioso, amante. Gracias. Paz y Bien. ¡Loco de amor!
the grace of God goes deep and wide
what wondrous Love indeed
turn back receive the peace therein
do not let pride deceive
🙏
This is a good one; thanks Bishop Barron!
Your voice is so calming sometimes it feels like Jesus himself is talking to us
Yes indeed. Thank you for being here, Suman. Stay blessed as always☆
Thank you, Bishop Barron. I am the penny.
I’m so glad you are a found penny, Dara. Love Trish, Australia
One of the best talks I’ve ever heard about God, and I love your videos.
Spot on! One of his best sermons ever and I´ve seen hundreds of his videos. This was a masterpiece!
Such amazing insights!
Great reflection. Thanks.
God is Love!!!
The Love we need.
Thank you, Bishop Barron.
What a beautiful message we all need to be reminded of. God = Love.
God is "pazzo d'amore" (mad for love) for us! and from us!
I got chills of truth when you quoted Saint Catherine of Sienna. Pazzo d’amore indeed. This whole homily brought tears to my eyes. Why do we ignore emotion and focus on logic? In our obsession with order and control over the chaos of love, we miss the point of God’s love. Yet what happens to us when we fall in love, we become sick with love, our logic deserts us. Why is this so uncomfortable for us when it’s Gods daily experience? “Your ways are not my ways.” From the beautiful book of Isaiah. What I can confirm for artists and anyone else who creates anything is that the love one has for each created thing comes from God. Often when I pick up my brushes and paint something beyond my ability, the glory must go to God. After all, He created the hands holding those brushes. I can’t tell you all how many times I’ve painted and not felt like it was me doing the work, but the Holy Spirit. Thank you Bishop Barron. I needed this today. Blessings to you and to the whole world!
Thanks Bishop !
To love is madness because human logic cannot understand it. The greater the love the greater the madness. So God is infinitely mad to love me!
We need to try that gift of love,to others, not hold on to it for ourselves.
Bishop, so profound, so life-giving, thank you!!
Thank God for Sermons and thank God for Bishop Barron's sermons.
Met Father Edward of the Renton. Wa, parish St Jerome [I believe]. He met Bishop Barren personally and took Theological classes under him. God bless him name and forgive me ☦️.
Excellent...
I am crazy in love with God and so delighted to hear he is crazy in love with me. Everyone deserves God’s crazy love and look into their hearts for that
You got it wrong. No one DESERVES God’s love. And some He does not love, some He hates. Psalm 5:5 says all workers of iniquity He hates. Psalm 11:5 says the wicked, and those that love violence, His soul hates. And Romans 9:13 God says Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.
