Shepherds, Warriors, Healers - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2023
- Friends, as we resume Ordinary Time, I want to talk to you about vocations-specifically, vocations to the priesthood. Our Gospel for today from Matthew shows us the call of the priest: to be a shepherd of lost sheep, a warrior against unclean spirits, and a healer of sin-sick souls-one that teaches and preaches and proclaims the kingdom of God. This summons from Christ has been the greatest joy in my life. If you are feeling the call, don’t ignore it; follow it.

I’ve been following the steps and signs for a while and plan to enter the seminary in August. Thank you for reigniting the fire within me to abandon my past entirely, to pursue Christ who saved my soul and saved my life, to find the impoverished heart in every situation, coaxing them closer to a love I can never begin to understand, but one I want ceaselessly to offer. Please pray for priests and for other seminarians as we answer the call. Peace and love from Indiana
God speed and God bless!
May God give you the grace you need on your journey Josh.
Thinking of moving to Indiana from California.
Blessing 🙏🏼
Keeping all young men who have answered the call. God bless you. May you have steadfast love for the Trinity. May the Holy spirit be always with you. 🙏🏽 🙏🏽
Blessings to you🙏❤️
I have just returned from a Muslim country and I felt so sorry for those poor people without a Saviour who is so close. Let’s all pray for more priests to preach the Gospel of freedom and liberation.
Amen. 🙏 Without cost we have been redeemed by Jesus Christ, so without cost we are to spread the good news of salvation to all beginning with those around us.
It is a massive joy to be a priest. To hold up the Body for the faithful, to raise the Blood…every time I can’t believe I am allowed to do this. Fr Clive ( UK).
Happy Father's Day; thank you for answering God's call !
Thank you for sacrificing your life for the redemption of the world.🙏🏽
Thank you so much.
So joyful to hear how you feel I pray for more priests More holy priests everyday thank you for being one of those answers to prayer
I totally agree with Bishop Baron that we need to work with laps Catholics and bring them back home Great sermon today
From a convinced Protestant, these are a blessing. Thank you, Bishop Barren.
I, catholic priest from Poland, am really grateful for reminding me what the priesthood is.
Dziękuję, Ojcze!
BLESS YOU 🙏🏽🙏🏽💛

Greetings from Italy, from an italian father of almost 4 woth a polish wife from Wrocław :-) thank You for your priesthood, we need You all very much
Bishop Barron: Happy Father's Day! You're an outstanding shepherd to us, Catholic people.
Amen 🙏🏽
Thanks be to God for giving us this Shepherd.
Amen🙏🏻❤
So we’ll said. Happy Fathers Day Bishop Barron. This is Greg Gonzalez from Our Lady of the Lakes in Miami, Florida and Knights of Columbus Council 4772 saying happy Father’s Day - just saying what’s not said enough - the love of Christ between us and thank you for giving us what we need as lay believers to pursue our own vocations. ♥️🙏🙋🏽♂️
“The priesthood is a WARRIOR vocation”. Amen, Bishop Barron. You could have been very successful in any other job, but I thank God that you chose this one.
Happy Father's Day Bishop Barron
Thank you for your priesthood.... it takes a lot of courage to be a priest and guide the lost sheep of the house of Israel... God bless you Bishop Barron!🙏
God Bless you Bishop Barron Happy Fathers Day !! ❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you, as always, Bishop Barron.
God Bless all Priests and please pray for them.God Bless you Bishop Barron
Thank you father for your shepherding us through the media
We are in the greatest spiritual warfare and destitution in all of human history. Our daily Godliness, watchfullness, morals and prayerfulness are a matter of life and death from now on
* The cowardly and diabolical abandonment of exorcisms, spiritual warfare, deliverance and the Godly Holy Spirit infilling has caused all the destructions in the world..past and present..God save us now..
Happy Father's day to all Father's
Amen
Pray for more priests, pray more for priests. God bless you Bishop
Thank you Father for taking the path of priesthood!! Happy Father’s Day tomorrow!
Amen
Let it be known to all: Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit!
Hear me when I say, ye that are Catholic have been deceived and know not God. Ye worship Mary, praying to her; when God tells his to worship none other than him. It is idolatry.
Catholicism has its own Bible and teachings, which are blasphemous to the word of God: the Holy Bible. As ye follow the teachings of man and not God; ye hear the pope, but not Jesus, yet ye claim to be his disciples!
These are but a few things I named ye dwell within; there are many more. I tell you now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father!
There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you!
They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God...
Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask:
"Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen."
Revelation 22:8-9 KJV
8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
Acts 2:38 KJV
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Luke 11:13 KJV
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
John 14:21-24 KJV
21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.*
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.*
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*
3 John 1:11 KJV
11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. *He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.*
1 John 3:6-10 KJV
6 *Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.*
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: *he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.*
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 *Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.*
10 *In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,* neither he that loveth not his brother.
@@Call_Upon_YAH I’m astonished. I didn’t know Westboro Baptists could read, let alone write, amazing.
Friend, no need to worry, you grossly misunderstand what Catholics believe and what scripture says, which puts you in a miserable place to judge anyone. Peace
Just a small aside, bishops are not referred to as father.
@@mikelopez8564 that one comes often, to Catholic sites. I was unfortunate to engage with them in the past. I don’t doubt their sincerity, but their understanding is flawed.
Priests are divine healers✨🙏
Every Mass is a healing Mass✝️👍
Happy Father's Day Bishop Barron! Good sermon.
When I despair, I remember that all through history, the way of LOVE and TRUTH has always won..there have been tyrants and murders, and for a time they may seem invincible.. but in the end they always fall, Think of that, ALWAYS.... GANDHI
Happy Father’s Day, Bishop!
Than you very much Bishop Barron for showing us the beauty and power of the priesthood vocation. We all should admire priests for their unconditional service life for others and because they are the same Christ here in earth. I pray for You. God bless you!
God Bless your priesthood,a d all priests
Happy Father’s Day!
God bless all the priests… praying for more vocation to this blest vocation.
Thanks to all the priest that have helped me with my journey of faith.
Thank you Bishop Barron.
Bishop Barron -thank you for sharing this much needed message. I will pray for vocations. 🙏🏼The priesthood is truly a gift ! Thank you for your yes !
As a lay Catholic woman, I have a clear call on my heart to bring the lost sheep in my life to a good and holy priest who will do exactly as you say he should. ❤ There are many lost souls / sheep who need guide to God’s saving grace.
I pray everyday that God provides the way for me to bring the lost sheep back to the shepherd who lovingly waits with open arms 🙏🏼🙌🏻🫶🏻
Bishop Barron, thank you so much for saying, “Yes” to the call of the priesthood. Your profound words are such a beautiful gift that have healed many souls.
God Bless you always. 🙏
Becoming a priest is a special calling.
We thank God for choosing you Bishop.
Praying that God will send more warriors like you to guide his flock!
This a good message for young people to hear. Thank you, Bishop Barron.
This is a warrior's vocation. 🔥 Let’s go
I have been feeling drawn to the priesthood for almost 3 years now and recently decided to go for it. I applied and will start the adventure after summer. To anyone thinking about it for a longer period of time.. find yourself a good spiritual director and go through the descerning together, you can't do it alone! And than make a decision, and if you decide to go for it, in the first year especially you will have plenty of time to discern your call more deeply. It is worth it to go deeper into discerning because you also have to dig very deeply into your soul and I have found healing and my faith has definetly grown during that time!
God bless and God speed!
Wishing you every blessing in taking your first steps towards the Priesthood. May Our Lord and Our Blessed Mother be an ever present source of strength on your journey.
Bishop Barron ✝️ your infectious enthusiasm for our faith, for your priesthood, for the privilege of serving Jesus and His flock is so evident and inspiring!!! Thank you for answering the call and for helping to ignite that call in others. I am beyond grateful for you and for your ministry. 🙏🔥✝️
The timing of this video is absolutely profound. I just emailed my bishop this morning with regards to entrance into our seminary. Please keep me in your prayer🙏🏽
Feel you brother! I also recently decided to go for priesthood in Europe though. But the timing of this video was again a good one.
@lukaperic4946 Awesome my brother. I wish you blessings all the best in this journey I'll keep you in prayer. Do you have social media for us to keep in touch?
It's not just empty words, I myself was a lost sheep who came back into the fold in large part due to Bishop Barron's eloquent explanations of the faith. This was back in 2015-16 and it's great to see him still going. God bless.
16.30 BST 😊 wishing you, dear
Bishop Robert every blessing and continued Joy in your and praising Jesus for your dedication in the worldwide ministry of Word on Fire. Your Daily Gospel Reflections have inspired me and the many friends of all denominations with whom a I share them. May you be richly blessed -and thank you. Anne. (U.K.)
So happy for uou to be back in the fold! ❤

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'
Thank you. You, as a shepherd, have kept me very close to the Church.
The Lord has empowered the Bishop with a gift of communication
I just love that Jesus would use such a simple thing as a window to draw us. We tend to look for the big things that make people notice us. Love you my brother in Christ.
Your homily reminds me of how my dad talks about his own call to marriage, how serving as an altar boy, he heard marriage vows all the time and thought, “I can do that!” He did for sixty years! Happy Father’s Day to you and all fathers! May God richly bless you!
Happy Father’s Day! I love listening to your sermons & I believe you really have a heart for the people & showing them the Love of God…I even pass these moments on to my friends on Facebook
Thank you Bishop Barron that you become my shepherd.
Beautiful and encouraging. God bless you, Bishop Barron and thank you!.
I am so grateful for the gift of my Catholic faith & the pitter patter of joy I feel in the scriptures & at Mass and right here!! May God be Praised!!
Bishop Barron, thank you so much for saying "yes" to the Lord's call. Thank you for being our shepherd.
We certainly owe so much to those who serve us in the ministerial priesthood. And let us behold the great grace and gift God has granted them. And let us behold that God has gifted us this way, too, as baptized people to share in His mission of proclaiming the Kingdom and making God known.
Happy Fathers' Day Bishop Barron! Thank you for responding to the call at the beginning and for doing so each day.
Happy Father's Day, Bishop Barron
Bishop Barron, I just gave the same sermon to my newly ordained priest j I was on fire 🔥 this morning 🌞.
We love you Bishop Barron... thank you for leading us so well...
Happy Father's Day to you and all priests!
Thank you Bishop Barron for your priesthood and bishophood 🙏🏻❤️🩹💐
Thank you Bishop Barron! Your sermons help me so much. I stepped away from God years back, not totally I never stopped believing in God I stopped worshiping God. But your sermons are so good for my soul. I am proud to be a Catholic and I still have some strange questions about God and about Jesus but these strange questions no longer pull me away from God but draws me closer as I feel my strange questions will some day be answer and if not that’s ok as long as I know God is there for me. Your sermons help me see that, so again Thank you!
Thank you Bishop Barron, Beautiful! Happy Father’s Day and May God Bless You
Great message! You speak the truth, Bishop, and your words awaken us from slumber over and over. Thank you for helping to keep us awake and watchful for the Lord. May the Lord provide the world with more laborers. 🙏
We are so fortunate to have you Bishop.
Great to hear your witness of your call to the priesthood. Thank you!
Thank you. Bishop Barron ✝️🕊️🙏🇺🇸
Thank you so much for saying that we need more tough, warrior priests, who will stand against the unclean spirits. There is so much pressure to just be nice.
Thank you Bishop Barron:
Happy Father's Day!❤😍🙏
Thank you, Bishop Barron. God bless you too!!!
Blessings Bishop Barron! Happy Fathers Day! “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek”. Heb7:17
Happy Father's day Bishop, thanks for everything!
Thank you Bishop Barron ❤
Thanks Bishop Barron. Keep running the race!
Dear Bishop Barron,
You are so well suited to your vocation. You have so many gifts to share-and you share them so well-that I’m not surprised that you’ve known you would be a priest since you were a small child. You are one of the most talented priests I’ve ever witnessed. God bless you.
What a lovely sermon Bishop Barron.....may GOD bless and protect you always. ➕️♥️
Thank you Bishop you have been that for me. I pray 🙏🏻 that you reach more of us ❤ This world needs the merciful Jesus. I always recommend you as that Shepard to others.
An articulate and positive message, as always. Thank Bishop Barron❤ You are a gift to us.
How blessed are they who know their calling and follow it.
Always sending a great message. Thank you for sharing your faith with us. You are an inspiration
Happy Father's Day Bishop Barron. A great sermon, but what struck me were the intonations of your voice when you spoke of your calling. Wow, it must be a wonderful feeling. We had a nun in our family, Sister Mary Angela who had the calling at age 13. She spoke of it often and inspired us all with her commitment to the Lord and to the Ursula order. She was also living proof of Christ's healing power since she beat cancer twice in her life and lived to 95. Still working from the other side she brought family members together that returned to the faith. I love her and miss her so much. Blessings to you and to the whole world!
Thank you, Bishop Barron, for being such a fine shepherd of Our Lord's sheep.
Bishop Barron; Awesome Sunday Sermon! Thank you for the reminder to listen and respond to the ask with diligence. God Bless!
Thank you for listening to God’s call! Your sermons, conversations, talks have been instrumental in my faith! You explain faith in in a way that I understand and want to continue to move closer to Christ. May the Lord grace be with as you with priestly work.
"Do not dialogue with evil, but drive them out". Amen
✝️✨⭐👍
And we are so glad you did allow that calling to echo within your soul.
The Spirit must have fallen on Bishop Barron mightily. He is the shepherd of us and how we love to be in his flock as he guides us to our Lord Jesus Christ.
We need priests from cradle to grave and every step in between those milestones. I pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. What priests do for us is so profound. No one but a priest can change the bread and wine to the Body and Blood of Christ. No one can heal us of the nastiness of sin but a priest who stands in for our Lord. Yes we are in desperate need of priests. Hear our prayers Jesus and inspire our young men to the priesthood. Our salvation depends on it.
Thanks God for Bishop Barron’s talent. As always, eloquent, succinct and purposeful.
In this time of worldly and spiritual turmoil, Bishop Barron maintains a sense of calm without failing to project the urgency of the message. I personally am going through great challenge and find Bishop Barron and my local Priests here in Australia as solid foundation to rebuild my faith. I am weak and fall hard regularly, but continually strive to get up and go forward toward the Light, thanks to their understanding of the human condition and their ability to convey spirituality, faith and grace in simple terms!
Christ called me , i followed Him
Blessed Fathers Day Bishop! I love you! Thanks for reigniting the fire of vocation in me as I journey to the priesthood... 🙏🏽❤️🙇♂️
Dear Bishop Barron, thank you for choosing the priesthood, and taking good care of your flock, you are a true shepherd sent by Jesus to evangelize, teach, write books and so many great things tirelessly and effectively, especially through your beautiful Rosaries in RUclips, people has learned to love our Blessed Mother more and more 👏👏👏📿📿📿
You are like a Saint Paul of modern times, brilliant and awe inspiring, May Jesus bless you more and more 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you 👏
Thank you Bishop for this powerful sermon 💛
Happy Father’s Day to all of our devoted priests! We are so grateful✨
Exceptional ... yes. Thank you for this homily.
Happy Father's day Bishop Bishop Barron. You are such a great spiritual father
“There is enough opportunity here in the U.S. to serve”❤
Amen! "Mission territory" is right outside our own doors! 🙏
Happy Father's Day Bishop God bless you.
Happy Fathers Day Bishop and thank you for today's message. You have been given much grace from the Lord, and you have guided so many to Jesus. We need you and the church and all the religious to guide us, and keep us safely on the path. Bless you💖
Happy Father’s Day, Bishop Barron! Thank you for all you do for our Church. God bless you. 💛🙏
We need many more priests and bishops like you! Not enough compassionate, tough warriors who use their charisms and authority.❤🙏
I bet by grace of God there are hundreds of souls who are destined to shepherd his sheep,the Church, by charity and joy. I pray for all of you to discern your call to priesthood and to say a loud “YES” to Him. We ,the Church, need you. Happy Father’s Day to all who are called Father. God bless you all. ✝️🙏❤️
Thank you for your loving messages
Saint John Bosco used to say that 75% of young men are called to the priesthood, but many are afraid and don’t answer to it. I’m a priest and that’s the most wonderful and powerful privilege that I would ever have in my life. And I’m sure it’s not because I deserve it; I hated my life, my parents and was destroying my life, until this Man called the Christ called me. Everything changed and is still changing. “You who sleep, it’s time to wake up.” “Go the Lord is calling you.” Thanks Bishop for your work.
Thank you Bishop Barron - beautifully said. Very true.
Happy Father’s Day Bishop.
An excellent Sermon. Thank you.
June 18, 2023
Disease and illness of the heart and spirit. Yes, we rely on priests to help guide us.
Your blessing Bishop Barron.
Your homilies and talks are so powerful!
It makes so much sense!!!
Thank you for such strength in your words!
A great fan from São Paulo/ Brazil 🇧🇷
This video has reminded me of a certain call GOD has placed inside my heart. I just can't stop thinking about day and night and I feel like my life is incomplete because I am yet to serve in that position I am feeling called to. GOD, I pray in the name of Jesus that you may fuilfill these strong desires you have placed in my heart . Amen
Bishop Barron the Lord bless you for today’s message. We have to be ready to listen the call of Lord in our lives, thanks for your service and Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father's Day! You spoke to me
I love you Bishop Barron, I praise and thank God for your priestly mission 🙏 May the Holy Spirit give more young men the desire to follow in your foot steps and to enter into the great gift of shepherding his church through the priesthood. May the Holy Spirit continue to strengthen and encourage you. Happy fathers day Bishop Barron ❤
