  • Friends, on this Third Sunday of Lent, we have the privilege of reading one of the most important texts in the Bible: God addressing Moses from the burning bush. In this passage, the true God manifests his own identity: he is closer to you than you are to yourself, yet higher than anything you can possibly imagine. And he gives himself a name: “I Am Who I Am”-not a being among beings, but Being itself.

    You know what I really love about Bishop Barron’s sermons? He never says the obvious. All the churches and their pastors in my area are so simplistic it’s almost laughable. Almost everything they ever have to say amounts to some variation of “be nice” or “God loves you” or “don’t judge people” or “things will get better”. When I listen to Bishop Barron I always learn something.

You who knows me more that anything and anyone. You only know my heart and my soul. I have nothing to proof, I am because You are my Father and I love you because you loved me first and forever. May I be your echo, May I shine with your light. Breath on to me your love always. May I simply be as you want me to be. Let me rest in your arms always, May I never run out of smiles, for as long as you’re with me I smile and thank you. Amen

I am your brother priest, I am presently in a dark place and in need of your prayer and your spiritual guidance. "I am who I am!" please speak to us your fellow priest that we might be all of what God calls us to be, "I am who I am" as my heart crys to know all that He calls me/us to be, now and forever. Heartfelt love to you and you blessed Team. Forever your brother as we identify the God who allows us the grace to live in His life of His Missionary identity.

    I pray Bishop Barron might be a future Pope. He exudes Faith and demonstrates wisdom to lead all believers. He also reveres John Paul II and Benedict, two of the greatest Popes. He knows the Faith. He uses the dynamite of the church. Like the burning bush, he is on fire 🔥with God's Word. Being assigned to Los Angeles is being underutilized. The Pope requires the courage and obedience to speak Truth no matter what...no matter what! There is no worldly leader more significant than the Catholic Pope. Nobody else has the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, or ever will beyond Christ. Thus, the Pope should fear nothing of this world. He should be the ultimate warrior for Christ. And, after 50 years on this planet, the greatest candidate to become that ultimate warrior is Bishop Barron. 'Lord, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Please bless Bishop Barron and his mission. And, if possible, present him the keys to Your kingdom to set the world on fire! We need you more than ever, Lord.'

    "The two paths of sinners -- and we walk them all the time -- is we try to control God for our purposes, or we avoid him. Give up. They're both hopeless paths. Rather, surrender to the God who is closer to you than you are to yourself, and at the same time greater than anything you can imagine. And do you know what he wants to do? He wants to set you on fire and make you as radiant and beautiful as possible."

May God help me to be as "empty" of myself as was Moses, so like Moses I can experience that life-changing encounter with the one, true, personal, sovereign GOD. And so for all of us...

    They pack so much in their homilies that if you truly are seeking God, you will get all you need. This homily is a prime example of this!

    The more I listen to the wisdom of Catholicism, the more I am desiring to be baptized in the Catholic Church. Divine tradition.

      Your name would suggest you were raised Catholic... but I know that having a Catholic heritage doesn't always translate to being raised Catholic. Happy new year.

    " I am WHO I am..." I love the way you said that. I now can say I truly understand I AM. Growing up Jewish and now being completed in my faith in Christ (Yeshua) your Homilys help me so very much. God Bless you.

    "I am who I am" makes perfect sense. As the singular non-contingent being, he cannot use anything to describe himself. He just IS

    Thanks for the reflection. Always learning new hidden treasures of the Bible. My God, please, reveal yourself to me so that I do not have to go chasing other gods. We live in a world full of distractions. God, you are enough.
