Just loving that so much of Bishop Barron’s content here is outside my ability to understand it. I feel like I did when I occasionally overheard my Dad and Mother talking. I might not understand. But it felt good to be in their company. So much beauty. So little time! ☺️❤️
Let me put it in plain English and remove the arcane Thomistic language. God is infinite consciousness/mind. Our reality (including us) is an idea in God's mind that God sustains at every moment. The Father is raw being (verb, not noun, like be-ing). The Son is the Father's knowledge of Himself (self-awareness). The Holy Spirit is the thought that proceeds from that relationship. Sin is incompatible with God because God won't remember sin. It will be purified/dis-remembered. God only thinks good thoughts. The sinful parts of our soul will be forgotten. God will remember the good parts of us and then complete us as we should be.
That's a beautiful thought. In luisa Piccarreta's conversation with Mary the Blessed Virgin, that's exactly how MARY felt at Nazareth in the presence of God's work of LOVE.
I pray for intellectual conversion of the many Catholic intellectuals, including priests teaching in seminaries who say that Aquinas is obsolete and no longer relevant today. Thank you, bishop Barron for this excellent discourse. ❤
If anyone sees this may God show us favor, my name is Quentin, and I'm reaching out during a challenging time for my family. I'm 51 and living with a disability, while my wonderful wife Hope, who is 57, recently lost her job. We have an 11-year-old daughter who brings us so much joy. We would greatly appreciate your prayers and support as we navigate this difficult situation. Thank you for your kindness and compassion.
Brilliant and scholarly Thomistic presentation of the common good, virtue and very pedagogically beautiful trifecta: metaphysics, theology and ethics. Being, God, action in the real world. The non-competitive Creator who wills only our own good, and thus of the society in which we live, if we but cooperate.
Thank you Bishop; quite thought provoking. I believe one day we will properly understand Gods nature; that we are able to grasp it. Humility will be required, but ultimately - It Is, What It Is ✌
Lord Jesus I keep faith even as I struggle as a single mother. Both of my sons have special needs. They require so much from me yet I know I AM BLESSED to be their mother. Lord Jesus give me strength as I struggle providing the basic necessities like clothing and groceries. Lord Jesus please continue to carry me through this difficult time help me provide for my children. Amen.
No need to use a lesson plan to print and use it. Now, the pockets for lessons are flooded, and a waste of print and working without against each other. Big tape.
Loved the quote of Herbert McCabe about the Creation. God creates "“Not just like a sculptor who makes a statue al leaves it alone. But rather like a singer who keeps his song in existence al all times”. Now I understand better de creation narrations in Tolkien (Silmarillion) and Lewis (Narnia). "God singing its creation". Very similar to the depiction of God Speaking the World, calling it to existence of Genesis 1.
Cause and effect + compare and contrast < became law and order < which led to God's Love, Mercy and Beauty; that translates into striving for diversity, as well as advocating in right order to take care of oneself but also insofar as you can, to help others as well.
"... to love is to will the good of the other" ... ie, it is to will the Other Good / Interest (anti-self-interest), or rather, to love is to will the good / interest of All; to love is to will the Common Good. ... the Common Good is non-competitive, Non-Zero-Sum ...
Unrelated, but i watched your explanation on Theotokos and really admire it. But id like to understand the catholic position of Christ when he ascended, did he eternally have a body and human nature or he didn't have a body till conception?
pride is the death of every created spirit that we can recover the heart of a Child that we had, so that we and this entire world, can be and will be a much better place that we can recover the heart of a Child that we had, so that there are more children, and we better protect the children, the Innocents
only God is God, no one like God Thank you for calling God, Who alone is God, the Truth of your mouth, by His Justice, it makes you Happy when you hear it Queen of the Happy Angels, Pray for us
A Deliverance Prayer By the power of the Precious Blood, by the Name of Jesus and by the intercession of Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, St. Michael the Archangel, all Holy Angels and Saints. I command the demon of (state the problem youre having) to stop afflicting me, my ancestor, my family, my cherished loved ones, my descendants, and all members of the Catholic Church, and go to the foot of the cross to receive your sentence. Amen
@BishopBarron Thank you for a wonderful lecture. Two points follow from the doctrine, that “[God’s] will [is] that the good creation evolves towards ever greater Perfection precisely under the influence of the final causality of the prime mover.”: 1. That the “Act of Creation” is a ‘Process’, not an ‘Event’ which occurred “In the beginning…” Creation, therefore, has been, and is, happening from the beginning. Could it be that “From the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth.”? 2. Man, being in the image and likeness of the Creator God (Gen 1:27), is a self-creating creature. However, “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5. For the final cause -the lure for all novel creativity-is God’s pleasure in His creatures, as the Father is in His Son ““And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”” Mark 1:11.
I have thought about becoming catholic but for one scripture in Mathew 23:9. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Calling someone father after Jesus not to is always in my mind.
God Christ, the King and Priest of every Holy creature is prophesied by Isaiah, who had the joy of being able to prophesy about the King among all Holy kings, the Son of the Most High Eternal Creator, the Love of God the Creator among us. Isaiah prophesied what was and is. God Christ is our promised King; the Liberator from the yoke of the dead beasts that have devastated us since our very creation, when they were already planning our murder before our Creator; the one who can hold power, and does not die in pride for holding all the power Honor and Glory to Christ, our Savior
In my mere opinion, the prophet Isaiah describes to us the feast of being able to hear the Living voice, His Word, enjoy His Words and our Healing, that will be the exquisite delicacy. Our Holy decisions and repentance, and sincere sacramental confession of each one of our unclean decisions, will be cause for celebration. "It will annihilate death forever", we are housed in our bodies, and we tend to assimilate that death with bodily death, a very important fact in our earthly trial, without a doubt, but I believe that death among all death, that which is eternal, It is the infamy of pride, the decision of the dead, that murders us before our Creator, Father of God Christ, and Father of every creature shown worthy of HIM. "and they gave glory to the God of Israel", God Christ only wants to be thanked and asked for forgiveness from His Most High Father. In His Humility and Greatness, He offers all His miracles to the God of Israel, His Most High Father, our Creator In my opinion, the temptation of triumph in us, souls in trial, I believe is one of the most difficult to deal with, the temptation of pride when we obtain worldly success, when what is really important is spiritual Success, that is, the Victory over the temptation, the "knowledge" that we suffer and the torture, for which we were evicted from the Eden that was our land, and for which we suffer so much each generation God Christ tells us that as little as we offer Him with generosity and love, HE will multiply it more than in others, that is, in ourselves. Let us be grateful every day for the food of our brothers, because in the food of our brothers, is ours.
Christianity, trying to be or resemble as much as possible a follower of the Risen Lord, is the most interactive and immediate decision that can be made. every day, at all times and in every place, decide as those who are and become children of God the Creator decide, those who decide in the Will of our eternal Creator, His Commandments to display the Sonship of the Holy creatures. make Holy decisions without anyone seeing you, only the one who sees everything; make Holy decisions without anyone hearing them, only the one who listens to everything. That which is born and settles in our hearts is clearly read by the Lord of good souls, the one who makes happy all those worthy of serving Him. The truly Wise is the one who decides to make this brief trial a better place, to carry that decision in his soul, during this brief trial, this brief dream subject to completion, and being worthy, for all eternity.

Gratitude Attitude in understanding common good for everyone leading to happiness.. Amen
Is it possible that Aquinas was slightly autistic 🤔
Let me put it in plain English and remove the arcane Thomistic language.
God is infinite consciousness/mind. Our reality (including us) is an idea in God's mind that God sustains at every moment.
The Father is raw being (verb, not noun, like be-ing). The Son is the Father's knowledge of Himself (self-awareness). The Holy Spirit is the thought that proceeds from that relationship.
Sin is incompatible with God because God won't remember sin. It will be purified/dis-remembered. God only thinks good thoughts. The sinful parts of our soul will be forgotten. God will remember the good parts of us and then complete us as we should be.
Thomistic language isn't archaic, it is fitting terminology for the field its in, namely theology.
That's a beautiful thought. In luisa Piccarreta's conversation with Mary the Blessed Virgin, that's exactly how MARY felt at Nazareth in the presence of God's work of LOVE.
The start of this was interesting, but towards the end... it became very intellectual. I will have to listen to it again.
Hello Bishop Barron. I'm not Catholic but love listening to you
Lecture or talk of the year... mabuhay aloha and God bless Bishop Barron
Love your talks Bishop Barron. For true justice we must follow christ teachings..power can corrupt in the wrong hands .❤
Very clearly articulated by Bishop Barron. I need to listen and understand this lecture slowly
Thank you Bishop Barron
Excellent teaching! 🌟 Beautiful message! ❤️Thank you so much! ❤️
The teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas seems to confuse me but Bishop Robert Barron explained it so simple. Thank you and God bless you bishop Barron.
You are a great man always guiding us 🙏🏼
Thank you so much Bishop Barron for this wonderful Commentary.
Bishop B = one of the most brilliant spiritual minds of our lifetime
Apostle Paul says differently about these kind of people. The wisdom of man is foolishness to God.
True!!! ❤❤❤ @ConvincedofChristianity
Are there any parts of the speech that you don't agree with? What do you mean with "this kind of people"? @@frederickanderson1860
@frederickanderson1860 what are "these kind of people?"
He is the most brilliant.
Father please open my heart to understand
GOD IS LOVE
His Lordship Bishop Barron bless him for being such an excellent evangelist , a walking encyclopedia 🙏🏻

I have already thrown the tomato ketchup. It's rotten and spoiled.

Saying that Prague is the most beautiful city in Europe is a great way to win over your Czech audience from the very beginning!
Love that mic. Britney Barron 💥

May God hear our prayers for you and your children. His blessings and grace touch you this day. Amen. ❤
How is this lady the top comment of all Bishop Barron’s videos?
@@user-zo2ge3oe8dexactly! Scam
I love that he wrote an essay entitled Ipsum Esse.
Praise the Lord ❤
He’d make a great pope
I’m trying to reconcile everything else belongs to the poor with living off my retirement. I pray the Lord for courage to live simply.
Just brilliant!
No need to use a lesson plan to print and use it. Now, the pockets for lessons are flooded, and a waste of print and working without against each other. Big tape.
I would love to sit down with Bishop Robert Barron one day for an interview!

Robert Barron is the smartest person in the World. I'm sure. Is the coolest theologian. I decided to study Theology because of Him
pride is the death of every created spirit
that we can recover the heart of a Child that we had, so that we and this entire world, can be and will be a much better place
that we can recover the heart of a Child that we had, so that there are more children, and we better protect the children, the Innocents
The good and the one from Dionysian beliefs, the hierarchy of beings, becomes the hierarchy of the church structure.
only God is God, no one like God
Thank you for calling God, Who alone is God, the Truth of your mouth, by His Justice, it makes you Happy when you hear it
Queen of the Happy Angels, Pray for us

Can you speak about Cromwell so we don't have to go to English sources for this it helps us understand the puritanism of this country
Transcendental that can't be balanced with our earthly existence. Ecclesiastices chapter 7 v 16.

every day, at all times and in every place, decide as those who are and become children of God the Creator decide, those who decide in the Will of our eternal Creator, His Commandments to display the Sonship of the Holy creatures.
make Holy decisions without anyone seeing you, only the one who sees everything; make Holy decisions without anyone hearing them, only the one who listens to everything.

Regretfully, the sound is inferior. Hard to listen to.
this is good, but i still wish god could be a living person again
