So... I recently reverted to Catholicism, and during the past few days I'd been having difficulty with the Church. And I just came across two videos in succession: the first one of a Eucharist miracle in Honduras and then THIS sermon. Dear Bishop, I was crying after those PROFOUND verses from Isaiah, and then I started to laugh in amazement at ALL of Who Christ IS! That GOD, Who IS GOODNESS and MERCY Itself would come to earth and BE ONE with His creation, then become wed to us, and then take our nature into Heaven??!!! And then the rest of your sermon, also amazing at what GOD can do. That He would want us to be a part of it, like you said, "Bring Me what YOU have" and I will work WONDERS! Thank you, Bishop.
I'm a protestant but I think you are an amazing teacher. I'm so glad you preach the truth. Protestant preachers always selling their CDs like a business. I can't handle that. Therefore, I'm changing my religion to Catholic. God bless you. Amen.
I will never perceive the first miracle performed by Jesus at the wedding of Cana, in the same way after hearing Bishop Barron's insightful and profound interpretation!
Just blowing my mind listening to this homily. All my many years, it was just Jesus’ first miracle. Bishop Barron, you were made for a time like this … Thank you, thank you and God bless you!
Sometimes the smallest things in life are the simplest to do. Just Like clicking on this amazing videos and just saying HI! Lol So Beautiful and lovely message 😊 Hello Dear, How you feeling today?? Hope everything is Ok with you over there 😊❤️
This Gospel passage always in the past left me somewhat bewildered. Thank you Bishop for this interpretation and the understandings of the Church Fathers. It is great to read the scriptures and look to better understand the Gospel. Thank you. Mary’s words ring so true: “Do whatever He tells you!” Our lives will be reinvigorated and be filled with joy!! Enjoy a little wine!!
You should get the Word on Fire Bible from Bishop Barren. Under the scriptures he has detailed and very helping and insightful summaries, from him self and the Church Fathers. It’s like listening to one of his videos. His second one of Acts and Revelations is coming out soon. God Bless you Brother Jesus Loves you stay Safe
Please pray for me I’m losing hope. My life living with lupus has it’s ups and downs. I’m in a lot of pain swollen joints, fevers out of nowhere and fatigue are just a few, because of my condition I declined the vaccine, and was fired over my decision. Since than I’ve been struggling to provide for myself and my two autistic children. My husband passed away three years ago, so I’m all alone. I have no family nor friends. Both of my sons are non verbal so as a mommy things can be a little more difficult. We are facing homelessness we have nowhere to go. I’m so embarrassed because of my situation. I have no family nor friends to help me, but I have nothing but Faith that God will provide. Keep Faith in Him. Please pray for us durning this time. Thank you.
Jesus will never abandon you. Don't give up on Him. He knows your struggles and His hand is directly over you. He has you in the palm of His hand. Hold Him tight. His mother is your mother. You're not alone. Help will come from Jesus. I believe so because I've prayed. Jesus loves you
@@scoops2382 But how do you know? Is it right to attack the faith of some people, when you can't say as someone, born in the 21th century, if it is false indeed? There were many people back then who witnessed Jesus and became his disciples. Just for nothing? This isn't plausible, definetely not plausible enough to argue with such certainty. But i was once an atheist troll, just like you, i get what you mean ;-)
Thank you, Father Barron, for providing “choice meats” for mind and soul to chew on, instead of the mush we get from mainstream culture. May God bless you and your project and grant us a cultural renewal!
"Do whatever He tells you." Mankind needs to listen to that. We are all flawed and think we know better, but we don't. We MUST try to do whatever HE tells us. God bless all.
This homily is great in how Bishop Barron illuminates the fine details and how they enrich the story, and how this story speaks to the larger narrative of God's work of salvation. And just after the Christmas Season, we hear this Gospel, and celebrate how God wedded Earth to Himself in Heaven once again through the coming of the Son, Who manifested God's presence in the sign at the wedding in Cana. It's fitting as I mark 5 years since a trip to Florida, where I celebrated the marriage of my brother and sister-in-law, and then visited Nombre de Dios Mission in St. Augustine, on the site where the first Mass was celebrated in what is now the USA.
Sometimes the smallest things in life are the simplest to do. Just Like clicking on this amazing videos and just saying HI! Lol So Beautiful and lovely message 😊 Hello Dear, How you feeling today?? Hope everything is Ok with you over there 😊❤️
Thank you so much Bishop Barron for this amazing Homily concerning the Marriage At Cana!!! Never have I heard the Wedding of our God, marrying His people found in Isaiah compared to the water our Lord Jesus changed into wine, at the Wedding Feast at Cana!!! What a beautiful spiritual interpretation!!! May the Lord continue to bless you Bishop Barron and inspire you to keep speaking Homilies such as this wonderful one!!!
The way your homilies link the Old and New Testament gives me and deeper understanding of how God has provided for us a way to salvation. I particularly felt a current day need to grow closer to Gods will for my life from this homily. As always I am spiritually fed by your Words on Fire. Thank you.
Bishop Barron, you truly are a powerful prophet. You are an angel. This reflection of the scripture is profoundly deep and rich. Transforming power in this homily !
Every time I pray the luminous mysteries, I have always wondered what Cana meant, often considering it as a magician’s act to reveal a power not seen yet. Now, I get it. Today, I have been blessed by an understanding that reaches deep in my soul. Bless you, bishop Barron. Levis Shalom
Thank you Bishop. I pray for you often, your spiritual strength is so eloquent. We Praise Him as He has so much confidence in you and gives you the grace to endure. Appropriately "Non nisi te Domine" is obvious in you. Agape et Shalom
To hear this described as not merely changing water to wine but changing our small ordinary gifts and into overflowing graces and the power of God to change our world and bring about His kingdom. Thank you for this insight and deeper understanding of this scripture.
Words from Bishop Barron excite and invigorate on this passage as it should be. The Bible stories are loaded with information and instructions. We only need his shepherds to extol them.
Even when we have very little to give, but have an open heart and yearn to be of use to him, he seems to make the wine of our small gifts flow abundantly.
God has blessed us in giving us Bishop Baron!!! Thank you so much Bishop Baron 💖 I have always found deep meaning in this Scripture and loved it. But, you have taken it to such a higher level. I found tears rolling down my face. Thank you so very much ❤️
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Marvellous. 180 gallons! Surely, that also tells us of the superabundance of God's love for us. He doesn't give us what we want but He certainly gives us what we need...and more. Also, Mary here is the intermediary just as she is the intercessor when we offer our prayers to her. My daughter is getting married this August. Let us hope we can pay homage to the Wedding Feast of Cana. Thankyou, Bishop Barron.
At a wedding... a wonderful place for Jesus to manifest his divinity... and as you explain Bishop Barron, one should read in this story, its higher signification... 'our builder at work... also announcing his resurrection'. Thank you for explaining Jesus' divinity... by compressing time... water, transformed into wine.
Bishop Barron has a gift for making the Bible real and applicable to life today, now! He immerses one in the greatest story ever, leaving one wanting for more!
“THE WATER SAW HER LORD AND BLUSHED” - 17th c. poet on Jesus’ first miracle. At Cana, “when the wine ran short”, Jesus mentions his Mother’s immediate “concern”, since she is not only Jesus’ Mother, but ours too, ie, the “rest” of her children, “those who keep God’s commandments and bear witness to Jesus” (Rev 12:17). Looking down from the cross, Jesus refers to his own Mother as the Beloved Disciple’s also: “Behold your son.” (Jn 19:26). How wonderful when we too “run short”, our loving Mother is “concerned”, even before we ask.
@@8neil830 Yes brother. For starters, it was 2nd century Israel and I don't know if such an manner of address is culturally inappropriate in such a situation. In modern day spanish -and probably many other tongues-its common to hear young folk refer to their mom and dad as "mi vieja/mi viejo" and in American English it used to be common to say "my old man/my old lady" for one's parents. However, beyond the cultural...Reading it biblically-connecting all the scriptures and foreshadowing from old and new testament-"Woman" was the title given to our First Mother Eve in Genesis expressing her singularity as THE WOMAN in history/herstory.. As Bishop said, in the gospels every word counts and so Yeshua referring to His Mother as "Woman" in this monumental moment harkened back to Mother Mary's role as reversing the guilt of Adam and Eve by pushing her Son into His ministry-even before He was ready. God bless you richly!
Jesus, Mary and st. Joseph graciously grant us knowledge and wisdom. Ps 96:2, Jn 2:3 When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 😇 Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.
Fantastic homily as always! Thank you Bishop, for never dumbing down the Scriptures, but explaining them in a way that ordinary people, like me, can understand. Beautiful!
Thank you Bishop Baron. You are such a blessing to so many. Thank God that you have offered what you have. He has multiplied your gift much more than 100 times. You have such a special gift for unpacking the deep spiritual meaning in plain language that are understandable. You have made my spiritual life deeper and richer. Thank you.
Beautiful homily, especially when the Bishop talked about Mary and Christ’s disciples as representing the Church. Also, when Our Blessed Mother tells the servants to obey whatever Jesus tells them and linking that to telling the Church to obey the voice of God as exemplified in the divine life. May God bless Bishop Barron. At Mass today, the priest when giving the homily referenced Bishop Barron and I was elated.
Good evening (it’s close to midnight) from Sydney Bishop, What a stunning homily you have delivered. I feel so blessed having had the opportunity to listen and absorb the amazing messages you have articulated so profoundly. Thank you and God bless you in your mission.
Food for my soul... God bless you BB and WOF! I have never really appreciated the real meaning of this scene in its entirety, so rich and muti faceted. I need to listen and re listen over and over, to remind my every waking moment as my weak self forgets and gets distracted... I didn't realise these were Mary's last words documented in the bible either... I am listening Lord and I will do all you tell me.. Father Thy will be done in me, my family, my community, our world. Amen🙏🌍
It's interesting that Jesus thought he was supposed to be about his father's business when he was twelve and Mary had to reign him in, because it wasn't time yet. And then at Cana, many years later, Jesus thought it wasn't his time yet, but it actually was, and Mary had to give him a bit of a push to get his ministry going.
Thank you Bishop for being on the internet. The subscribers of your channel are holding your hands so they don't get tired the same way the hands of Moses have been held during the battle between Israel and Amalekites...
A very good point that Jesus made wine from the water, rather than nothing at all. My mom.usrd to tell me that when we pray for something that God wishes us to have, God usually uses his human servants to help us. Meaning, if we say, pray for a car, it is not going to decent from the sky with a huge ribbon on the roof. Second point- these empty containers holding the water for purification that Jesus commanded to be filled with water- meaning they were not already filled with water, but empty. I once heard a sermon that this meant the Jews were already disregarding the purification important to Faith. Finally, thank you again, so much, for what you do. It is so important, now more than ever. The late 20th Century was a scary time, but God in His mercy gave us Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa. In this century, He gave us ( you fill in the blank)
An excellent homily, Bishop Barron. About wine being a source of intoxication & joy arising from the union between a bridegroom & bride, which symbolizes the joy of the union between Christ the bridegroom & the Church, His bride. But another analogy which has come to my mind is, the water in the stone jar for ablution is needed to CLEAN the body, while the wine which the water had become, symbolizes Jesus' blood which would be shed to CLEAN the soul of sins!
Thank you so much Bishop Barron. This I needed to hear today and I am always grateful that you allow the Holy Spirit to work through you for our salvation. God bless you always.
Bishop Barron, each time you read the Scriptures and expound them it is truly a magnificent spiritual banquet; and thanks to *'Sunday Sermons'* the treat certainly is never-ending! *Thanks A Million Bishop☆*
Thank you, this sermon is very helpful. It encourages me, and inspires me to have more faith in sharing my journey with God. Believing that God really does want to enter into relationship with me, and with how I utilize and apply the gifts given in this life, removes the pressure that I alone have to do things "perfectly." As Fr. Eddie Fronske, (Franciscan Friar0, said, to me, "God is dancing around you, trying to get your attention." This homily helps me understand that God wants to dance/ co-create with all of us. Thank you for sharing your insights, wisdom, and including historical perspectives.
Thank you Bishop Barron for another awesome homily! It seems we never stop learning and I always come away having learnt something new from you. God bless ❤️🌹❤️
Thank you Father Barron for your message on Changing Your Water to Wine. I enjoy your messages so much...May God Bless you...Please keep my health issues in prayers...Delores Jackson, Henry, Tennessee
Amazing things are up ahead if you don’t give up. There will be new beginnings, times where God pays you back for what was unfair, times where He catapults you to new levels. Don’t get stuck. Don’t let the sickness cause you to get bitter. You didn’t see it coming; it’s not fair. You can say, “God, why? I don’t understand it.” Or you can look at that frustration, look at that worry, look at that doubt and say, “Sleep on. You’re not going to sour my life. I’m not going to drag through this day defeated, thinking about what didn’t work out, who did me wrong, how unfair it was. I know a resurrection is coming.”
Just wonderful! Our Bridegroom has come and He elevates and transforms everything I bring to the table. Thank you, Bishop, and All the Glory Be to God! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this illuminating homily on this subject. In 72 years I have listened to many discussions on this topic but none with the clarity and revelation of the hidden meanings that you provided today. A deepest appreciative "Thank you," Bishop.
One of the finest homilies I’ve ever heard, and an elegant primer on Christianity. Clarifies, in addition, Mary’s place in Catholic theology, which is an important question for non-Catholics. Bravo Bishop Barron!
Beautiful explanation of how God loves us and His Church. How every detail of the Gospel is layer out for us to good news of the Gospel. Thank you for raising my Spirit. And remind us that Mary has said do what every Jesus says. You have always provide uplifting explanations of the Gospel that is so full of Grace. Amen.
Sometimes the smallest things in life are the simplest to do. Just Like clicking on this amazing videos and just saying HI! Lol So Beautiful and lovely message 😊 Hello Dear, How you feeling today?? Hope everything is Ok with you over there 😊❤️
As the Church passes away, it's important to realise, for us Catholics, that we are the new Consecrated Host - Through the Gift of Living in The Divine Will 🔥❤️🌹 God is closing time, He is ending all things. The 100 years of Satan being let off the leash has come to an end. And so the Church must die, just as Her Groom died. We all must now go through our tribulation. Are we Judas, or are we Peter with his denial and his 3 fold love of Christ? Fiat 👑
Wow, I have never heard this gospel explained in such a profound and biblical way. Mary, even then was acting as Our Lady of Inntercection. Beautiful sermon Bishop.
So blessed to have your wisdom freely available every Sunday. I learn so much about scripture from you. Your sermon today touched me in many ways. Thank you.
yes our bridegroom has come to us HIS bride but how many of us have longed for HIM, how many of us love HIM ARDENTLY, willing to fulfill HIS commands,ready to follow HIM?thank you.
In this gospel reading, 3 times (4 times if you include John 2:12) we are told that Mary is The Mother of God! Something our Protestant brothers and sisters overlook.
Good afternoon MATT....your last sentence is not true... ihave a deep respect for all religions..protestant brothers and sisters do not accept Mary as the mother of God????? Where?????? Now before u say anything my family and i are regular church participants....been invited to attend catholic services...enjoyed going..i wish my catholic brothers and sisters would attend mass more often and dress up..you are entering God's house....enjoy your day and week..praise God from whom all blessings flow..peace
@@kenneth7826 I know you don't deny Mary as the mother of God. But I have protestant family members who are adamant that I am committing IDOLATRY (committing a mortal sin) because I pray the Hail Mary, have a statute of St. Francis in my garden, and I could go on . Help me understand so riffs are softened and divides are bridged.
Over the years, I've had difficulty in coming to terms with this story in the Bible. Understanding the connection among Isaiah's builder's marriage to mankind, the criticism of the steward in relation to benefits coming later (despite common expectations) and why Jesus made this his primary miracle to stress the a priori of grace in the world is a relief. Keeping a figurative framework in a materialistic, secular empowered society makes it a challenge to overlook the misleading scientific assumption that water cannot be suddenly transformed into wine. I understand the good wine is the wine that comes later on, after fermenting---marriages between man and woman refine over time; the marriage between God and man also refine over time. Thank you for this homily Bishop Barron!
Thank you Bishop, powerful symbol of God's affection for human beings, even though we've fallen God is inviting us to the wedding feast between Him and us. God will give us the best there is for our salvation.

Jesus, Mary and st. Joseph graciously grant us knowledge and wisdom. Ps 96:2, Jn 2:3
When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
😇 Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.
Fantastic homily as always! Thank you Bishop, for never dumbing down the Scriptures, but explaining them in a way that ordinary people, like me, can understand. Beautiful!
Thank you Bishop from London, England. You have woken me to God's transforming power. I seem to be asleep. Wake up o sleeper
Thank you Bishop Baron. You are such a blessing to so many. Thank God that you have offered what you have. He has multiplied your gift much more than 100 times. You have such a special gift for unpacking the deep spiritual meaning in plain language that are understandable. You have made my spiritual life deeper and richer. Thank you.
Beautiful homily, especially when the Bishop talked about Mary and Christ’s disciples as representing the Church. Also, when Our Blessed Mother tells the servants to obey whatever Jesus tells them and linking that to telling the Church to obey the voice of God as exemplified in the divine life.
May God bless Bishop Barron.
At Mass today, the priest when giving the homily referenced Bishop Barron and I was elated.
Good evening (it’s close to midnight) from Sydney Bishop,
What a stunning homily you have delivered. I feel so blessed having had the opportunity to listen and absorb the amazing messages you have articulated so profoundly.
Thank you and God bless you in your mission.
Thank-you Bishop for this wonderful teaching!
Food for my soul... God bless you BB and WOF! I have never really appreciated the real meaning of this scene in its entirety, so rich and muti faceted. I need to listen and re listen over and over, to remind my every waking moment as my weak self forgets and gets distracted... I didn't realise these were Mary's last words documented in the bible either... I am listening Lord and I will do all you tell me.. Father Thy will be done in me, my family, my community, our world. Amen🙏🌍
It's interesting that Jesus thought he was supposed to be about his father's business when he was twelve and Mary had to reign him in, because it wasn't time yet. And then at Cana, many years later, Jesus thought it wasn't his time yet, but it actually was, and Mary had to give him a bit of a push to get his ministry going.
2 perfect examples of divine commitment but still in tune with this world in keeping the peace to our brethren
That's a cool observation, Jesus, like any typical adolescent, and young adult, who needs loving but firm attention.
Thank you Bishop for being on the internet. The subscribers of your channel are holding your hands so they don't get tired the same way the hands of Moses have been held during the battle between Israel and Amalekites...
Bishop Barron, I think your sermons will be presented as classics in the future like Bishop Fulton Sheen. They have the same dynamics and depth.
What a wonderful way to explain the Wedding Feast! Thank you Bishop Barron!
Good one. ...isnt our Lord wonderfully wonderous.....yes He is
This is so awesome and I am spiritually so blessed in Christ.
May God continue to bless our beloved Bishop Barron.
❤❤❤
God bless Bishop Barron and Word on Fire ministries 🙏🏻❤️✝️
I just want to praise the Holy Spirit for speaking these words of spiritual lifting thru Bishop Barron!
A very good point that Jesus made wine from the water, rather than nothing at all. My mom.usrd to tell me that when we pray for something that God wishes us to have, God usually uses his human servants to help us. Meaning, if we say, pray for a car, it is not going to decent from the sky with a huge ribbon on the roof. Second point- these empty containers holding the water for purification that Jesus commanded to be filled with water- meaning they were not already filled with water, but empty. I once heard a sermon that this meant the Jews were already disregarding the purification important to Faith. Finally, thank you again, so much, for what you do. It is so important, now more than ever. The late 20th Century was a scary time, but God in His mercy gave us Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa. In this century, He gave us ( you fill in the blank)
An excellent homily, Bishop Barron. About wine being a source of intoxication & joy arising from the union between a bridegroom & bride, which symbolizes the joy of the union between Christ the bridegroom & the Church, His bride. But another analogy which has come to my mind is, the water in the stone jar for ablution is needed to CLEAN the body, while the wine which the water had become, symbolizes Jesus' blood which would be shed to CLEAN the soul of sins!
Great insights! God bless.🙏
Thank you so much Bishop Barron. This I needed to hear today and I am always grateful that you allow the Holy Spirit to work through you for our salvation. God bless you always.
Bishop Barron, each time you read the Scriptures and expound them it is truly a magnificent spiritual banquet; and thanks to *'Sunday Sermons'* the treat certainly is never-ending! *Thanks A Million Bishop☆*
Amen!

Thanks Connie for your beautiful Presence☆
Stay blessed as always☆☆
Thank you, this sermon is very helpful. It encourages me, and inspires me to have more faith in sharing my journey with God. Believing that God really does want to enter into relationship with me, and with how I utilize and apply the gifts given in this life, removes the pressure that I alone have to do things "perfectly." As Fr. Eddie Fronske, (Franciscan Friar0, said, to me, "God is dancing around you, trying to get your attention." This homily helps me understand that God wants to dance/ co-create with all of us. Thank you for sharing your insights, wisdom, and including historical perspectives.
Thank you Bishop Barron for another awesome homily! It seems we never stop learning and I always come away having learnt something new from you. God bless ❤️🌹❤️
Felt like a wedding feast and I too tasted the new wine from Jesus. Amazing ..god's steward fr Robert!
Thank you Father Barron for your message on Changing Your Water to Wine. I enjoy your messages so much...May God Bless you...Please keep my health issues in prayers...Delores Jackson, Henry, Tennessee
God bless Bishop Barron
"Every word matters. "
Amazing things are up ahead if you don’t give up. There will be new beginnings, times where God pays you back for what was unfair, times where He catapults you to new levels. Don’t get stuck. Don’t let the sickness cause you to get bitter. You didn’t see it coming; it’s not fair. You can say, “God, why? I don’t understand it.” Or you can look at that frustration, look at that worry, look at that doubt and say, “Sleep on. You’re not going to sour my life. I’m not going to drag through this day defeated, thinking about what didn’t work out, who did me wrong, how unfair it was. I know a resurrection is coming.”
Brilliant !!! I needed to hear your words
Just wonderful! Our Bridegroom has come and He elevates and transforms everything I bring to the table. Thank you, Bishop, and All the Glory Be to God! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this illuminating homily on this subject. In 72 years I have listened to many discussions on this topic but none with the clarity and revelation of the hidden meanings that you provided today. A deepest appreciative "Thank you," Bishop.
One of the finest homilies I’ve ever heard, and an elegant primer on Christianity. Clarifies, in addition, Mary’s place in Catholic theology, which is an important question for non-Catholics. Bravo Bishop Barron!
Beautiful explanation of how God loves us and His Church. How every detail of the Gospel is layer out for us to good news of the Gospel. Thank you for raising my Spirit. And remind us that Mary has said do what every Jesus says. You have always provide uplifting explanations of the Gospel that is so full of Grace. Amen.
Bishop Barron's sermon today was like taking one note and creating a symphony; genius.❤️
Peace be with you!
Bishop. Thanks a lot!
Thank you Bishop Barron for the beautiful sermon. God be with you always.
Sometimes the smallest things in life are the simplest to do. Just Like clicking on this amazing videos and just saying HI! Lol
So Beautiful and lovely message 😊
Hello Dear, How you feeling today??
Hope everything is Ok with you over there 😊❤️
Absolutely mind blowing.... I had never looked at this with Biblical eyes...
Many thanks bishop
As the Church passes away, it's important to realise, for us Catholics, that we are the new Consecrated Host - Through the Gift of Living in The Divine Will 🔥❤️🌹
God is closing time, He is ending all things. The 100 years of Satan being let off the leash has come to an end.
And so the Church must die, just as Her Groom died. We all must now go through our tribulation. Are we Judas, or are we Peter with his denial and his 3 fold love of Christ?
Fiat 👑
Bishop Barron is such a BLESSING!!! ❤
This is such a great homily ! Everybody should hear it.
Wow, I have never heard this gospel explained in such a profound and biblical way. Mary, even then was acting as Our Lady of Inntercection. Beautiful sermon Bishop.
Oh my Bishop Barron…my simplistic mind cannot comprehend this in 1 view…
Hopefully by the 3rd.
Thank you so very much!
Amen. I wasn't aware of that cross reference with Isaiah until today, and a good day it is.
Thank you so much Bishop Barron for taking the time to provide your homily. We need your interpretation. Thank you! I follow you!
So blessed to have your wisdom freely available every Sunday. I learn so much about scripture from you. Your sermon today touched me in many ways. Thank you.
yes our bridegroom has come to us HIS bride but how many of us have longed for HIM, how many of us love HIM ARDENTLY, willing to fulfill HIS commands,ready to follow HIM?thank you.
In this gospel reading, 3 times (4 times if you include John 2:12) we are told that Mary is The Mother of God! Something our Protestant brothers and sisters overlook.
Good afternoon MATT....your last sentence is not true... ihave a deep respect for all religions..protestant brothers and sisters do not accept Mary as the mother of God????? Where?????? Now before u say anything my family and i are regular church participants....been invited to attend catholic services...enjoyed going..i wish my catholic brothers and sisters would attend mass more often and dress up..you are entering God's house....enjoy your day and week..praise God from whom all blessings flow..peace
@@kenneth7826 I know you don't deny Mary as the mother of God. But I have protestant family members who are adamant that I am committing IDOLATRY (committing a mortal sin) because I pray the Hail Mary, have a statute of St. Francis in my garden, and I could go on . Help me understand so riffs are softened and divides are bridged.
@@pattikettler9825 good evening Patti..they are wrong@!!! ...pray for them...peace
My spiritual eyes have been opened like never before! Thank you Bishop Barron for this amazing Sunday Sermon. 🙏
Over the years, I've had difficulty in coming to terms with this story in the Bible. Understanding the connection among Isaiah's builder's marriage to mankind, the criticism of the steward in relation to benefits coming later (despite common expectations) and why Jesus made this his primary miracle to stress the a priori of grace in the world is a relief. Keeping a figurative framework in a materialistic, secular empowered society makes it a challenge to overlook the misleading scientific assumption that water cannot be suddenly transformed into wine. I understand the good wine is the wine that comes later on, after fermenting---marriages between man and woman refine over time; the marriage between God and man also refine over time. Thank you for this homily Bishop Barron!
YES AND AMEN!!!!!
Thank you Bishop, powerful symbol of God's affection for human beings, even though we've fallen God is inviting us to the wedding feast between Him and us. God will give us the best there is for our salvation.
I am like a new wine in a new wine skin.
holy smokes this is amazing
