  • Friends, my homily from Westminster Cathedral focused on the law that sets you free. Freedom is the discipling of desire. In taking the law-God’s law-into your heart, you become free.

Freedom cannot exist by itself, ruled by itself. Freedom contains us so that we can do all things good and at the end, to see God face to face.

    So clear, really truthful. I have always been feeling suffocated by laws and freedom was to me to do what I will. But to hear you say that freedom is the ability to do a certain good effortlessly and that laws serve to inculcate in me the virtues that enable me to be free has been really noval and at the same liberating. Thanks bishop Barron, may God bless you abundantly and greetings from Uganda, Africa.

    • @bkinn830
      @bkinn830 Год назад +1

      @@JCRARSZQ That type of freedom is freedom of choice but that is not all that there is to freedom. Actually freedom of choice when used responsibly becomes a means of acquiring good habits that help inculcate virtues in someone which in the end enable him or her to attain the freedom (easiness) to do the good effortlessly and adhere to objective truth. The freedom that is being described here is what John Paul II describes as "obedience to objective and universal truth" (John Paul II, Pastores Dabo Vobis, no. 8).

    In order to really understand what is freedom we must experience what is the opposite of freedom. Ex. In order understand light we must experience what is darkness.
    And the opposite of freedom is that we are all imprisoned.
    And what is the purpose of the law? It is to submit us, train us, to regulate us, austere us and lead us to purify our dirts in our consciousness. And everything will become clearer and clearer. And in that process can only lead us to real knowledge then lead us to real surrender - sweet surrender to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

    @oberonmichaels4121 Год назад

    This sermon displays one of Bishop Barron's favourite gambits: the conflation of law and discipline. An inference can clearly be drawn that discipine can only be appreciated by those who observe religious law. However, everyone knows and appreciates that the only path to significant achievement is through sustained and well-regulated practice. There are many people who lead very disciplined lives and who have no involvement in organized religion. Furthermore, there are others who have attained excellence in one area by diligent application but who are quite undiscipiined in all other aspects of life.

    While we know that The Law is sweeter than honey and the honeycomb and that it reflects the very character of God, we also know that the Law was made for man, not man for the Law (paraphrasing here Mk.2:27); we also know that while it came through Moses, grace and truth were brought by Jesus Christ, so he is not only the author of Torah (as you so aptly mentioned) but also the embodiment of Grace and Truth. . .he is both God & Man, and thus embodies not only the Law, but the Gospel as well. We need both. . .not either or. Thankfully, Jesus has dwelt among us and has brought us both, and he kept the Law perfectly for us, as we simply fail over and over again to keep it. The perfect keeping of the Law is given to us in Jesus, as we abide in Him and He in us. Thanks be to God!

    Thank you. Bishop Barron. Beautifully explained. But so sad to see people standing and receiving Our Lord in their hands This is a contradiciton. Would any of us remain standing upright before Jesus if we truly know HE is right there before us? The Priest purifies his sanctified hands. We are not ordained and we do not even purify our hands. There should always be a stated option and provision of a kneeler for those who require it and all who are able shoutd take that option. I will always kneel and receive from ordained hands on the tongue - supported on not. I have never and must never be refused. Receiving on the hand is in law an indult. It is not the norm lawfully. At the name of Jesus every knee shall bend

    We think of the law of Moses as religious law but in reality it was legal or social law for the Jewish community. Under Pharaoh or as Tom Holland points out in the Roman world the law was punishment as the deterrent. Or think of Andy in Shawshank Redemption, when he enters prison Red takes him aside and whispers the rules to him. What's often overlooked is the civilization itself and what was taking as new roots under Christianity.
