God Has Spoken; Are You Listening? - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июл 2023
- Friends, our first reading and our Gospel today are about the word of God, both from God’s side as he speaks, and then from our side as we receive. God has spoken through creation, the prophets, the Scriptures-and, in the fullness of time, the very Word of God. If you open your mind and heart to the power of God’s word, it will change you.

Please pray for me. I am considering a vocation to the priesthood.
I will pray for you. It's an honor to pray for priestly vocational lives.
@@dawnlapka3782 Thank you!
I am too
I will pray for you, and suggest that you read,"Let The Fire Fall" by Father Michael Scanlan…….It will definitely help you discern your calling…..

Pray for you,.
Let God speak to you as he spoke to young Samuel, May there be, a Senior preist help you to Listen closely to God's calling.
So thankful to and for Bishop Barron. I‘ve converted from Protestantism to Catholicism three weeks ago also because of him (and because Catholicism just is true). Bishop Barron is a gift. Greetings from Germany!
Welcome home dear Caroline
Your sister in Christ May Franco in Dubai
@@mayruthwilfred1323 Thank you, dear sister.
21st century and the sheep are still being indoctrinated into these monopolies and cults that historically have shed more blood and hatred in a god's name! Good Chiasmus! How fearful and gullible can people be!
Yes, welcome home. Bishop Barron & Fr. John Rccardo, Fr. Larry Richards, EWTN & RCIA were all a part of my realizing that I was Catholic all along, even tho I wasn't raised going to church.
God bless. Welcome to Catholicism.
Protestant here, love Bishop Barron, listen every week!
Ditto.
Ditto.
Isn’t he amazing brother… he speaks from Gods Word a la Bill Graham or Charles Stanley … I can say, as a former catholic the Catholic Church is finally getting it … Thank You Pope Francis 🙏🏻
If you like Bhp Barron you might like Matt Fradd’s Podcast- ‘Pints with Aquinas’ or Fr Mike Schmitz on Ascension Press too!
Why are you staying outside the Catholic Church?
Bishop Barron, please pray for one of our priest Fr. Stephen, in Melville La. He was attacked Friday on church grounds. His evil attacker attacked him with a machete. He is in critical condition. Prayers please. Thank u.
May God lead your dear priest to restored health and move the attacker to full repentance. Amen.
We have heard he is in stable condition but everything is hush hush probably because of the attempt on his life. Thank u for praying..
🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼📿🙏🏼
May he recover and find peace. We are surrounded by evil that is no longer hiding in the shadows. It’s overtly everywhere including the Vatican.
I pray for the healing hand of Jesus to touch Fr. Stephen, and Mama Mary's loving care and intercession bring him safely to recovery. Thank you sister. I will pray for him, and certainly everyone reading your request will also lift his healing. May his attacker be blessed with conversion too. Amen.
One of the best Catholic channels.
From a Protestant
I just told my wife, I keep learning new understandings about God from Bishop Baron. Amazing! Thank you again God, and Bishop Baron for saying yes to him.
At one time I was what is called a ‘fallen away’ Catholic. I picked up the Bible one day and began reading. In particular, the Gospels had a profound effect on me. I was never the same. I realized who Jesus is and what He had done for me. I looked at creation in a new way. Since those days many years ago I have devoted myself to parish ministries. I tell everyone the Bible is alive! God bless you, Bishop Barron!
So you picked up the Bible one day and decided to skip over all the Old testament violence. I suggest that you try again and this time start at the beginning and after every verse proclaim aloud "this verse is good and true" and mean it.
@@downenout8705 I said I picked up the Bible which contains the Old Testament as well as the New Testament. You need to have the ability to understand and connect the Old Testament which is fully revealed in the New Testament.
@@MAvila744 So now you are the "special one", granted the gift to "connect" the Old testament to the new and I am not.
Telling however, don't you think, that you never refuted my presumption that you haven't read your Bible from cover to cover.
Also telling, don't you think, that you completely ignored my presumption that you totally ignored all the utterly depraved violence inflicted by Yahweh/Jesus.
@@downenout8705 I am not going to engage in a ‘Bible War’ with you which is what you want.
@@MAvila744 Yep, don't concern yourself however, I'll just add you to my very long list of intellectually dishonest Christians who happily defecate all over 1 Peter 3: 15.
So take the last word if you wish and throw some of that Christian hate in my direction if it makes you feel better.
Love to follow Bishop Robert Barron.
You’ve made me realize how God inspired my personal motto for priesthood: Fides ex Auditu (faith comes by hearing) THE WORD OF THE LORD.
The older I get (almost 79) the more committed I get to God. The phases of life, I believe.
As we age we are simply getting wiser...
The older I get (66) the more committed I get to atheism. The phases of life, I believe.
@@downenout8705The seed fell on a stone?
@@downenout8705
Not my business, but I'm a friend with one army general who fought in Desert Storm, Canadian Army, who was in France Foreign Legion etc. and I remember his quote: "In 2 AM, shell artillery over heads, there is no atheists in the trench."
God bless you.
P. S. At least you are listening B. Barron here.
@@ReVincentius So your friend was an ignorant buffoon. Telling don't you think that his best 1 Peter 3: 15 reason for the hope that he has was nothing more than an unevidenced ad hominem.
It's, however nothing more than I expect from the majority of Christians, who, because of their inability to defend their faith resort to attacking the person who does nothing more than say "I am not convinced that your god exists".
Perhaps you can do better, but I seriously doubt it.
Glory to God in the highest 🙏💖🙏
"God's word is not descriptive. God's word is creative ... Whatever is, is because of the divine word. Therefore in the richest possible sense, God's word is creative." *- Bishop Robert Barron*

Pay no mind.
John 1:1 - 5
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

"And The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us" John 1:14
"You can't read the bible without being changed". So true! 💓🙏"God's Word doesn't overwhelm us, it invites us to respond. If you let the Word of God into your mind and heart, it will change you." Thank you Bishop Barron for this beautiful sermon.
Episcopalian here! I listen almost every week and read his daily inspirations. They help keep me focused
I'm currently reading St. Faustina's diary. I do it at night, when my little village is quiet and one understands why, as somebody said, silence is God's favourite language. Today, early morning, all quiet but some birds chirping, I prayed my Rosary and felt it to the bones. Thanks for your words, Fr Barron!
Great sermon again.Thank you Bishop Barron .The Holy Spirit is with you.
Let us embrace and fully live the Word of God within us
Greetings from Brussels
Catholic here enjoying Bishop Barron every Sunday 🙏🙏🙏

I applaud that you refuse to dumb down Scripture. You have a fan in this Anglican deacon. The Word on Fire "Bible" is inspired.
For a long time I didn't want to hear the Word of God for the basest of reasons, I liked sinning and I didn't want anyone or anything to put a damper on that. When you get to the heart of it with a lot of people that is what is going on. The Word of God tells us sin is wrong and the wages is death. When you're engaging in hedonistic acts you don't want to hear that, especially when deep down you know it's true. But salvation is there for all who seek it, for everyone who humbles themselves, repents, and does their best to sin no more, because they don't want to. It really is that simple. We're the ones who make the whole thing difficult.
Yes, how we like to complicate things in a futile attempt to cover or explain away (even to ourselves) our sinfulness! God bless you.
Amen me too brother everyday the problem was never on Gods side He always loved us loves us the problem is on our side the word says it plainly I only have this to say to you you left your first love. Sorry the story of my life BB crosses over the barriers between the Churches . to me church is 24/7 I don't have to be ordained or go to seminary .Im surrounded by his love and keep coming back for more
Im an agnostic athiest. I listen to your Sermons Bishop Barron. Thank you for the lessons and insights into the faith. Even if im a non believer in religions I believe in the light of Christ and the transformative power os Love. I look forward to your sermons. Thanks and Much love and peace to the people on this planet.
Commit to Christianity and watch your life and very soul transform before your eyes. I was like you once.
Thank you for letting us know that you enjoy Bishop's lessons. He has a series callled Word on Fire, it was 2011 or 2012 when it was released. I learned so much. I always appreciate listening to gifted teachers, what ever the topic. I love scripture, & Bishop Barron & Fr. Mitch Pacwa are certainly gifted.
"Im an agnostic athiest. "
That's incoherent. An agnostic is someone who doesn't know if God exists or not. An atheist is someone who believes God does not exist. You can't be both. Good grief!
Come to His Church and receive the fullness of His gifts. Become a part of the Body which has Christ as it's One True Head. He will give you Life, and give it to the full.
No one who meets Jesus is the same again. Just like the wise man, after meeting Jesus they went another way back.
Thank you Jesus for meeting with me ❤️🙏🏻
Bishop, you were just plain ol' Father Barron when my son 'suggested'--well, it was more than that, but said with loving and compelling authority--that I listen to you on RUclips and just like that, I came back to the Church through the incredible gift of the Sacrament of Penance and the welcome of a parish that (a) had a parking lot and (b) somehow seemed to have a congregation that didn't chatter in the pews until the entrance procession. And I've listened to you ever since because yeah, the initial high fades a bit; my parish has not disappointed but now I'm sitting in the same pew with sons and their wives and a bunch of tiny noisy little grandkids, so further reflection on the gospel of day is welcome and needed. God bless you, Bishop.
Thank you Bishop Barron for bringing the Gospel alive every week!
This video in particular from Bishop Barron should be required viewing in all Catholic (secondary) schools, including and especially by science students. Thank you!
I never tire of listening to Bishop Barron
I could listen to his teachings nonstop.
Bishop Barron is a shining light who pierces the darkness of unbelief. Amen Amen. A great instrument of The Living God.
This man is consistently clear and spiritually rigorous. a true evangelist. Thank you!
Pray that the word of God will sink into me and yield a hundred fold. Bishop Barron …. Pray for us!!
Thank you Bishop Barron, I have said for years that most adults don't know as much about their Faith as the children making their First Communion because the last instruction they had was at their First Communion. I taught Religious Education for 20 years and it was so obvious. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS 🙏
Sad but true. At Baptism parents "agree" that they are the "first and best" teachers of their children in the faith. But parents cannot pass on what they themselves do not know. 😢
@@sandyv2195 I have a thought on that subject , I would say life is unpredictable and the choices we make influence our whole life. I happened to be baptized later in life at 46, that said if I was baptized at birth or in the years I wasn't fully aware of my choices I don't think it would of made a impact on me as it did being baptized when I decided to be baptized at 46, being baptized on your own accord has more meaning at least it did for me. Godbless
@@sandyv2195C300
God bless you Bishop Barron
Thank God for having Bishop Barron as our spiritual leader.
Thank you dear Bishop
God bless you abundantly.
I will pray for you. For without you, we do not have the Eucharist. You are a better man than most for even considering the call to the priesthood. God bless.
May God Bless your Ministry…… Bishop 💒💒💒🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✝️✝️✝️❤️❤️❤️
May the good Lord & Holy Spirit continue to inspire& strengthen your ministry Bishop
Barron. God bless & keep you.🙏Jean (☘️)
I love listening to you Bishop Barron! You explained things for me to understand. Thank you and God Bless you!❤
I love hearing my local church's Sunday homily, and the listening to Bishop Barron's word, and contemplate the 2 perspectives. This week was especially satisfying. Thank you Bishop Barron.
Thank you bishop Barron, so much craziness going on both in the world and church. I awoke few mornings ago with a continual playing in my thoughts of the passage of where Jesus asks Peter are you going to leave me too and Peter replies to whom would I go. I was questioning all the confusion that's being preached in and out of the church and felt shaken but once that thought came and wouldn't leave I answered no Lord I'm not leaving but all the more listening to sound doctrine so thank bishop from bottom of my heart.🙏🙏🙏.
Dear Bishop Barron, Thank you, thank you, thank you! Sometimes I am either too tired or distracted or just can't settle my mind enough to pray and to LISTEN to what God wants from me, you are that telegraph antenna transmitting God's message to us all! Thank you! (I know it is an old fashioned term but it made the most sense to me, as a retiree where the "magic" of computer transmission will never be understood! :). God Bless you. Karla (Oreste's wife). Please pray for Oreste to not lose faith and to be cured of his bladder cancer. In Jesus name, amen.
Thank you for this homily. I am Catholic and my father is Catholic but my mother is baptist. Growing up I went to both Catholic and Baptist church every Sunday. I was never encouraged to read the Bible at my Catholic parish, but each week at the baptist church we memorised scripture and got into the habit of reading Scripture. I love my Catholic faith but I am eternally grateful for my Baptist training in reading the Bible daily.🙏
God be with you Bishop 🙏
We can always always understand Bishop Barron.
He is clear.!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
A lamp unto my feet.............
Thank you Bishop Barron, you and your vocation and team are a tremendous blessing to us. We’ll always pray for your continuing dedication and clarity to help us.
‘I’m going to let Jesus do the preaching here…’ - a wonderful Bishop Barronism! Thank you Bishop as ever!
I think Bishop Barron is the best preacher I have ever heard. His sermons are not only motivational but also faithfully teaching the Word of Christ. God bless you Bishop Barron!
Yes. Agreed. The word of God is very meaningful. It has changed my life. Thank you Bishop. For affirming this.🙏
Amem.
Good Morning Bishop Barron and everyone in the comments section.
Have a Blessed, Safe and Healthy week in the fertile soil.
No Rocks! No Thorns!
Muchas gracias Senor Obispo por todos sus consejos .
What a great sermon, thank you! 🙏 It's funny because I was just thinking the other day about how sad I am sometimes as a former protestant who has retained some great things about my former experience, that there does seem to be a sort of drastic underemphasis on the Word of God at times amongst Catholics.
I'm glad that you touched up on that Bishop Barron, because I think that sometimes, even as well meaning human beings, we tend to get baited into these polemic arguments and Catholics are almost afraid that if they show any enthusiasm whatsoever about this precious gift of the word of God that they will be somehow conceding that protestants are right about everything.
We need to stop caring about how we think we'll look in front of men and women, and start caring a whole lot more about how we look in God's eyes!
The Divine Word is one of the most precious gifts that The Lord has given us and we need to embrace it as such!
God Bless you Bishop, and thanks again for leading us 😄
Those are some amazing words!!! Thankyou
Congrats, Bishop Barron, on your selection to the Synod on Synodality! I pray you will keep the content true to the Gospel and the Oral Traditions passed down through the ages. Modernity is hardly receptive to either.
Bishop Barron thank you for your words today;they always arrest time and touch the soul!
I also love Van Gogh and the bedroom at Arles painting I have and love for a different reason than the obvious thoughts given by Sister Wendy.Such humble beginnings are worth millions!

Thanks be to God he gave us a Shepherd like Bishop Baron. Thank you Bishop for reminding me to 'cultivate' the word in my life.
I pray the rapture is soon. Jesus save me. Lord please change my life for the better. Thank you Jesus for never leaving my side, because everyone else has! Jesus! I PRAISE you! Even as I’m struggling providing for my children. I feel like a failure but I will keep faith because faith is all I have left! Since covid I can’t seem to get back on my feet. I lost my job for declining the vaccine. I declined due to my health conditions. I suffer from lupus, and heart disease. I’m now waitressing and so thankful to be working but I’m not making nearly enough to get by. I have two beautiful boys both are autistic. I’m overwhelmed because they require so much from me. Every month is a struggle to not end up on the streets with my boys. I’m struggling buying groceries I’m so discouraged. Jesus hear my cries I’m so tired. But I have faith! Jesus hear my prayers. ❤
Praying for you. Don't ever give up. You aren't alone. You belong to Jesus
Thank you Bishop and God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
What a good word. This type of preaching needs a live audience responding. I found myself saying yes and amen while making breakfast listening to this.
this was sniper shot of Preaching today, concise and razor like focus, Good One, your excellency!!.
Father I am doing my best to stay with the word. I do not think I will ever leave the Word of God. I truly can’t live without it. Gob Bless you always Amen❤❤❤❤❤
ok, I could just listen to what you have to say all day! Somehow, your message is always just what I needed to hear.
The Word leads us to the straight (not stray) path that God wants us to cross to reach Him. We can never go wrong if we follow His Word.
Extraordinary teaching, Bishop Barron. Thank you and God bless.
Thank you 1:50 Bishop Barron for your podcast. It's because of you that I have picked up my Bible for the first time in 20 years and have so much joy in reading the scripture s which surprised me. Christ is King!
Always luminous, but particularly excellent on the Word.
When I heard this today in Mass, my reaction was that I feel so weak. I am the seed the falls on rock and in the thorn (the ANXIETY, the other hard life issues I am dealing with is taking up my thoughts, a legal case at the moment for the last 4 years).
Also, I don't know how to have the Words, how do I know who to tell the Word to? There are 3 persons in my life who I am passionate about getting them to choose God. 2 of them won't have it. I don't mind losing my relationship with them by telling them what I believe they need to know. That being a 'nice' person doesn't cut it. You have to choose God.
I don't possess the gifts of the spirit either it seems. Some say I do and other days it just doesn't seem like that. I don't really know how to deliver the Word with the Love Jesus tells us to, in the way that will have the right outcome. I think it would turn them away if anything.
Example, it appears many assume that just being a good person, that God being merciful will accept them into heaven. My understanding is a murderer who believes Jesus is their Savior, who repents, who CHOOSES God has a better chance to get into heaven than the a 'nice' person who always does the right thing but never chooses God. Of course I would not say, "choose God or go to hell." But sometimes, in my passion it could come across that way.
I will pray for the words, the spirit of Love, the gifts of the spirit and how to explain the importance of being in relationship WITH God.
Let the light of your Christian life be the greatest argument. That is the approach that I am trying to adhere to, and will do so more once I am baptised and confirmed. Jesus did not convince through arguments, but through being what he is. Good luck, and peace be with you.
@@arielwertlen6709 thank you.
Bishop Barron, as always. God bless you and all you do. 🙏🙏🙏
"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And before him no creature is hidden, but all are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do."
Hebrews 4: 12-13
Thank you Bishop Barron. Greatly edifying as always. God bless you always 🙏
There is a saying, I can't remember who said it, But it goes something like, "God is the Giver, AND God is the Gift, humans are here to prove it." Its a beautiful saying.
Bishop you always find a way to blow my mind.🤯 “God’s words are creative not descriptive”
The comments down here say it all. Wonderful sermon ! Praise be to God The Father Almighty! Glory to God in the Highest and peace to all! All of us still haven't really tasted the wonderful word of God,which can show us how to see and feel heaven on earth and get prepared to go there one day with the mercy ,love and help of Jesus Christ our only hope!....Thank you Lord for all you have done for us! Greetings from Colombo Sri Lanka with love for all people of God!....😇🙋
I heard the gospel in church today, and I read the gospel before I heard the gospel. And then I listen to it again with you, and now I understand, and now it clicks in my head.
This is wonderful, wow. Pray for Bp. Barron y’all; perhaps God is doing something?
Absolutely, He is always doing something.
Thank you for the CREATIVE POWER of GOD's WORD as spoken through you, Bishop Barron. It reminds me of Samuel, of the Hebrew Scriptures, who responds to the LORD on the 4th call, "Speak; for thy servant heareth." (1Samuel 3:10, KJV) Hearing the "Seed/WORD" proclaimed by you, may we respond to go forth as the "good seed" ourselves. Thank you again.
When I was 8 years old in church I had a vision of 4 men in a square formation walking down the church isle. These are the four formations for seminarians. I am also working toward holiness for God and priesthood. Keep my in your prayers Bishop Barron and I hope we meet one day. (Chaldean Catholic rite) Assyrian Christian.
Dear God, thank you for giving us Bishop Barron to feed us, your lambs.
So to the point, understand, cultivate and live it. Thank you
God Bless you
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
Yes , stairway to Heaven ..
Bishop Barron. I am not only touched by your sermons but so much by the passion that you share from your heart! I thank you from the bottom of mine for all that you say and do! I love your teaching on all things! God Bless Bishop!❤️
Bishop Barron, thank you so much for making your sermons' available for the whole world on RUclips; I am converting to Catholicism because of watching and studying your videos. And a special thank to you, and your team who make the extra effort in transcribing your speech and providing English subtitles for the viewers, which is extremely helpful for me. God bless you and your team.
Always cultivate...in season and out of season...like that 👍 thanks Bishop Barron. 🕊🙏🏻
« Whatever is is because of the divine word ». Christian faith in God represents the primacy of God as the Word versus simple matter. And, given we are beings of and from the Word as God, I should not be surprised to notice the trinitarian imprint of God as Thought, Freedom and Love in what makes me what we are as beings: free, thinking and capable of love: the three ingredients of the soil I am to God’s word.
Levy Shalom
Amen
Thank God and Bishop. I am a priest of Diocese of Qui Nhơn, Vietnam. May God bless Bishop. Please help me to study Holy Bible in English language.
That was excellent in so many ways. Thank you!❤
That really spoke to me. May God continue to richly bless your message.😊

God bless you too. Thanks you Jesus for the priests that still bring you words and follow your gospel so your message doesn’t get lost or change.🙏🙏🙏
I read the Bible with Father Mike on day 335 and I’m changed and I love your sermons thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️
A wonderful sermon again! The word of God is not only creative but super influential. After accepting Christ I was changed as a person, treating people differently and thinking differently. Life with Christ has been totally different, from the way I act and treat people to my everyday thoughts that flow through my mind. God changes you for sure. The way you talked about it makes me feel better, because a lot of people make fun of me for my ideals or tell me I need to be less forgiving but this is just confirmation that I am doing the correct thing. I like to forgive a lot of people and take care of people even if they don't do it in return. It's great to know I'm on the right track, I love the line God's word is creative.
As for the parabole I’ve experienced it firsthand. A lot of my friends have heard only segments of the word or will visit church a few times then get uninterested. Hoping to bring a few of them back to church when I get the chance. There must be a deeper note that will strike eventually. It’s hard to say but yes some churches are better than others and especially catering towards younger generations would help too. I'm excited to hopefully bring a few friends back to the right walk of life.
God bless you, Bishop Barron, as you weekly scatter the seed of God's word to the culture through your weekly sermons. As I listened to today's sermon I thought about one plant from my garden that was started from seed but ran out of room to place in the garden. While all the other plants are flourishing from daily needs being met, this little guy, though getting water, is just barely surviving. I failed this plant greatly by not sharing it with another gardener to be properly developed.
Thanks Bishop Barron. Keep preaching. A prayer for you and those who are touched by your reflections
God bless you, Bishop Barron.
