- čas přidán 26. 06. 2024
- Friends, our Gospel for today is Matthew’s account of the calming of the storm and the walking on the water. This is an event that reached very deeply into the hearts and minds of the first Christians. And the iconic representation in the Gospels shows us the theological and spiritual implications of this real event. It is an image of the Church, the barque of Peter, passing through the stormy times of life.

I'm not a Christian but I listen to this man because, for whatever reason, everything he says makes sense to me.
It's because he's speaking the truth.
@Taek120 - May the Lord Bless and Keep you, and make His Face to Shine upon you!
Perhaps you listen because Christ is calling you to Himself through Bishop Barron. God bless you!
Keep listening. ❤
Keep listening; Jesus uses other, normal people, to reach us.
When my husband was dying , all I did was focus on Jesus , I ran to Him .There was such darkness , chaos, advice, feeding tubes, blood work and a lot of cheerleading from the staff which was sweet , but I heard none of it . I remember vividly stepping off the elevator again for the six month and as I walked down the corridor towards my husbands hospital room I imagined Jesus at the end of that long corridor holding out His out his hand and saying, “ Anne, take it , just take it , I did , my husband died and I have not and will not ever let go of His hand.
I feel and know your missing your mom. It just doesn’t matter how old they are or how old we are , we always , always ,miss our parents. Holding you in my heart.
God bless you, Anne.
@@sandyv2195 thank you.
This was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. It means a lot to me and I have no doubt to many others that will read it. God bless you
@@christinelivebird thank you ..
Oh how I love being Catholic. . So grateful for your sermons Bishop Barron 🙏🏻🙏🏻
❤❤❤-me, too!
Me three. Just came home from an Emmaus men's retreat, my first but not last. I highly recommend it to all people, Catholic or not, men and women. Look into it and think about it and if you feel led, go for it. God bless you and your families.
⏳️THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world"
(On earth, that is, the final purpose of My work and what level I must achieve in this work before it becomes complete. I have been doing My work on earth for thousands of years, and until this day I am still doing My work for it. So now, at a time when many people have long failed in their hopes I still continue in My work, continue in My work I should do judge and punish people. The function of My judgment will give man the ability to obey Me better, and the function of My punishment will allow man to change more effectively. That's because I wanted to make all the nations outside of Israel as obedient as the users, and make them real people so I hold land outside of Israel. This is My rule, this is the work I fulfill among the Gentile nations. The work that I have managed for thousands of years is completely lived in only one man at the last day. I just opened the entire mystery of My rule on people. I have revealed to man all My mysteries hidden for over 5,900 years. Who is Jehovah? Who is the Messiah? Who is Jesus? My work revolves in these names. How should My name be done in any of the countries that call Me by any of My names? Because My work is done on you, I will destroy the 6,000 years of God's reign plan is close to the end, and the doors of the kingdom have been opened for all those who seek His exhibition. Dear brothers and sisters, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for God to appear?)
Almighty God said
ALL PEOPLE are CONNECTED to a PURPOSE of My WORK. On EARTH, that is, the FINAL purpose of My WORK and WHAT level I must achieve in this WORK before it becomes COMPLETE. When I have BEEN with Me UNTIL this DAY, people STILL DON'T CONCERN what My WORK is about, if you DON'T HAVE any SIGNIFICANCE for them to be with Me? People who FOLLOW Me can KNOW My WILL. ☀️
I HAVE been doing My WORK on EARTH for THOUSANDS of YEARS, and UNTIL this DAY I am STILL doing My WORK for it. Although there are many extraordinary things that belong to My WORK, the purpose of this WORK is not accepted to CHANGE, just as for example EVEN THOUGH I am FULL of JUDGMENT and CHASTISEMENT of PEOPLE, what I do is for the SAKE of the BETTER that IMPLEMENTS My CHANGE and further EXPANSION of My WORK to ALL GENTILE NATIONS, when a PERSON is MADE PERFECT. ☀️
So NOW, at a TIME when many PEOPLE have long FAILED in their HOPES I STILL CONTINUE in My WORK, CONTINUE in My WORK that I SHOULD do JUDGE and PUNISH people.
Despite the fact that man has not been told what I say and despite the fact that he has no desire to devote myself to My work, I still carry out My duty, communicating the purpose of My unfinished work. that will change and My original plan will not be broken.
The FUNCTION of My JUDGMENT will GIVE man the ABILITY to OBEY Me BETTER, and the FUNCTION of My PUNISHMENT will ALLOW man to CHANGE more EFFECTIVELY. Even though I did for the SAKE of My GOVERNMENT, I did NOT get a LITTLE thing that was UNBENEFITABLE to man. That's because I WANTED to make all the NATIONS OUTSIDE of ISRAEL as OBEDIENT as the USERS, and MAKE them REAL people so I HOLD LAND OUTSIDE of ISRAEL. This is My RULE, this is the WORK I FULFILL among the GENTILE NATIONS. ☀️
Even TODAY, many people are STILL NOT RELATED to My GOVERNMENT, because they have NO INTEREST in these things, but ONLY CARE ABOUT their OWN FUTURES and DESTINIES. No MATTER what I say, people STILL DON'T CARE about the WORK I do, INSTEAD ONLY, FOCUSED on their FUTURE GOALS. ☀️
If MANY things CONTINUE this WAY, how will My WORK EXPAND? How CAN My REPORT be BROADCAST WORLDWIDE? You should KNOW, that when My WORK EXPANDS, I will SCATTER you, and I will ELIMINATE you, as JEHOVAH ELIMINATED a TRIBE of ISRAEL. ☀️
All of this will be used by Me to be used throughout the world, and to spread My work among the Gentile nations, when My NAME may be EXALTED by the OLD and CHILDREN alike, and My HOLY NAME is EXPLAINED by the MOUTHS of PEOPLE from ALL TRIBES and NATIONS. In this FINAL AGE, My NAME WILL be TAKEN to the GENTILE NATIONS, because the GENTILES will SEE My WORKS, that I use My PROMISE ALL POWERFULLY because of My WORKS, and My WORD can do it NEARLY FULFILLED I will make ALL people KNOW that I am NOT ONLY the GOD of the USERS, but ALSO the GOD of ALL the NATIONS of the GENTILES, even MINE WHO are CURSED: I will LET ALL people SEE that I am the GOD of FULL CREATION. This is My greatest work, the purpose of My work plan for the last days, and the only work that must be fulfilled in the last day.
.. The WORK that I HAVE MANAGED for THOUSANDS of YEARS is COMPLETELY LIVED in only one MAN at the LAST DAY. I just OPENED the ENTIRE MYSTERY of My rule on PEOPLE. Man knows the purpose of My work and moreover has understood all My mysteries. And I TOLD THE MAN ALL ABOUT THE DESTINY that he CONSIDERED. I have REVEALED to man ALL My MYSTERIES HIDDEN for over 5900 YEARS. 🙏🙏
WHO is JEHOVAH? WHO is the MESSIAH? WHO is JESUS? You should know all this. 🙏
My WORK REVOLVES in these NAMES.☀️
Do you understand that?
HOW should My HOLY NAME be PRONOUNCED? HOW SHOULD My NAME be done in ANY of the COUNTRIES that CALL Me by ANY of My NAMES? ☀️
My WORK is now EXPANDING and I will SPREAD its ENTIRETY to ANY and ALL COUNTRIES. Because My WORK is DONE in YOU, I WILL DESTROY YOU the 6000 years of GOD'S REIGN plan is CLOSE to the END, and the DOORS of the KINGDOM have been OPENED for ALL those WHO seek His EXHIBITION. ☀️🙏
Dear brothers and sisters, what are you waiting for?
What are you looking for? Are you WAITING for GOD to APPEAR? Are you LOOKING for His FOOTSTEPS?
Really longing for God's appearance! And God's footsteps are really hard to find! ☀️
In the TIMES LIKE NOW, in a WORLD LIKE this, WHAT SHOULD we do to WITNESS the DAY of GOD'S APPEARANCE? ☀️
WHAT SHOULD WE DO TO FOLLOW GOD'S FOOTSTEPS? ☀️
Questions like these are faced by all those who are waiting for God to show up. You've thought about all of this more than once---but what was the outcome? Where does God show up? Where are God's footprints? Did you get the answer? Many people will answer like this: "God appears among those who follow Him and His footsteps are among us; IT'S JUST that SIMPLE! ☀️
Anyone can give a formulaic answer, but do you understand what the manifestation of God or His footsteps means?
GOD'S APPEARANCE REFERES to His COMING to EARTH to do His WORK PERSONALLY. ☀️
BRINGING His OWN IDENTITY and DISPOSITION and in HIM'S NATURAL METHOD, He COMES DOWN to HUMANITY to FULFILL the WORK of STARTING an AGE and ENDING an AGE. 🙏
From "The WORD Appears in the Flesh". holy book

I love the way you speak to us Bishop Barron instead of 'preaching' to us. Every sermon is like a personal conversation just between you and me. Your love of Christ, humility, humor, sincerity, great personality and knowledge makes you such a phenomenal speaker, not a preacher. Your sermons touch me always when I need them just at the right time in my storms. Thank you for sharing all you do with us in the wonderful way you do. Peace and love be with you Bishop and all of us here, forever and ever Amen 🙏 🕊💜
I really really really couldn’t have put it better myself Michelle. It’s as if you read my mind, and I’m a local UK preacher. I wish I could put the message across as gracefully as Bishop Baron. God bless you Michelle.
@@lcsdw01 Thank you for your kind words. May God bless and be with you 🙏 🕊💜
Boy, I needed that talk today! Thanks Bishop Barron!
Claire F.
The Lehigh Valley (PA) had the honor of having Bishop Barron with us for a few years. He was well liked and respected. What a blessing to have his expertise shared with so many believers. All Glory Be to God! 🙏🏻
I would watch if only to hear, "Peace be with you," and "May God bless you."
😂 ya me too
Oh yes👍
Only? The first words of the dying and rising christ. Sounds good to me. With those words, the verdict was handed in, and death itself was rendered irrelevant. "Where oh death is your sting?"
Jesus interceding to God for our sins and God is Jesus. This is equivalent to Jesus interceding himself. Does this make sense?
If we teach what doesn't make sense and gets accepted, followers will be vulnerable.
Jésus bless you Bishop Barron
Do not lose your gaze on Christ. Be focused on his being, His I Am. There we become centered in His way. All of the chaos becomes silent, still, and peaceful despite the storm still raging on the fringes of our lives. With Christ we may walk on the waters. Without Him we are consumed by the chaos and dragged down into the depths. Don't look away.. May you never look away. Peace, peace..
For some reason, this message made me emotional! Dear Bishop Barron, may God bless you with good health and long life so you can continue this glorious work. You remind me so much of Fr. Al Lauer, God rest his soul.
Bishop Barron is a brilliant interpreter and communicator of the real meaning of the scriptures...I'm so thankful I've come across his thought provoking sermons..
Thank you Bishop Baron!! God bless you and your walk with Christ!!
Biship Barron, peace be with you. Your sermons are moving. You explain your message so clearly that even me, a man hard of understanding, can understand. Thank you.
Thank you, Bishop Barron. I’m in the midst of a storm with work & health issues. I plan on starting RCIA this fall - please pray for me!
Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, who has called you to His church. God bless you and your faith journey.
God bless you Jemima!
Bishop Barron speaks with the power of the Holy Spirit.
I preached tonight on this glorious passage and looking forward tomorrow ( Sunday) to preaching twice tomorrow morning. What a joy to listen to our Shepherd Bishop expound so clearly! Fr Clive ( simple country priest, UK).
Hope it went well thanks
Fr Clive, may St. John Marie Vianney bless you, Bishop Baron and all our priests! Pray for more priests.
Thank you Bishop Barron, from Argentina. I always listen to your Sunday sermons in the evening, after my morning Mass and they help me to meditate and go deeper into God’s Word and message. I love how you explain every part of the Gospel turning it into something so alive and useful for my faith. God bless you!
"I am Who am" is the reason I believe in God. I realized that denying the existence of God is actually denying my own existence. That my life actually has value and purpose, to use it as an offering for the benefit of others. I'm not perfect, we all sin, but Jesus offers himself as a perfect sacrifice for me at every Holy Mass! My mind is blown 🤯! Alleluia! God Bless! 🙏
god oh my mighty god please show me the way
12 orthodox Jews realizing they were dealing with the Lord God.
And we are so often so blind.
God Bless you Bishop Barron! Have a Blessed Sunday y'all.
Amen
God bless you Bishop Barron.
I thoroughly enjoy listening to your presentations. You are an amazing shepherd and you never fail to bring the point home to your congregation.
Bless you and all who follow the word.
Your leadership is indispensable
😊
Jesus, our highest Advocate. Praise him!
I love ALL the comments posted here, they are deeply inspiring and devotedly positive about Bishop Barron and his sermons which are very powerful and very moving, keeping our senses filled with admiration about our Catholic Faith, about Jesus walking on the stormy waters, and about Peter and all His Apostles in awe about the Power of the Lord, and they realized that He is indeed the Son of God 🙏
We, too, can also walk in stormy waters, when we call our Lord with deepest faith and trust, then, we, too can overcome the storm in our lives 🙏
It’s in the power of Christ that we can live out the stormy seas that seemed to overcome us 🙏
Trust and believe in Jesus’ Divinity 👏
Thank you Bishop Barron for an amazing Sermon 🙏
"Even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to you."
Psalm 139: 12
I like Psalm 139, too. I recommend hearing the Psalm being sung - a good version is when Queen Elizabeth II was laid in state.
The walking on the water passage sermon reminds me of Psalm 29:
The LORD sits enthroned over the flood;
the LORD sits enthroned as king forever.
Psalm 29 along with Isaiah 43:1-7 are among my favourite passages of the Bible.
Blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it:
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 disagree with you. You are right, we are one in Christ Jesus. What books should or should not be considered for inclusion in the Bible? What, if anything, else have the Catholics got wrong?
@@Call_Upon_YAH
And the devil is still working to split up the Church Christ built. . Catholics HONOR The Blessed Virgin- whom God chose from the beginning. Stop disrespecting the Mother of Christ. God CHOSE HER... Respect that. 6:58 6:58
Wow. That was a phenomenal Sermon. The Gospels continue to amaze me, they shed new light every time. Thank you and may God bless you Bishop Barron for this wonderful teaching, and praise our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus now and forever.
Masterful, homily, you’ve outdone yourself, Bishop
Hails from Brazil. God bless you!
I’m catholic from very small island in western pacific n I watch the program n I say thank you very much. Live long .🙏
I finally get it. Make Jesus Christ the center of your being and all things will fall into their proper order. It won't always be easy and for some, me for one, it will often be difficult but keep Jesus in the center of your heart, your mind, your eyes, your very breath and let Him direct you.
Thank you Bishop Barron for your teaching. So nice to have heard your talks and the montage of and from Lisbon.
Thank you Bishop Barron, for again unraveling the deep meaning of the gospel for us to truly understand. As Christians we need to "Know" these truths.We can walk on the turbulent seas, but only with the help of Jesus, and deep faith in the power thereof.What a marvel! Lord forgive "my/our" unbelief.
I adore Him! He is my King! Without Him, i am damned! Thank you Jesus! Thank you Bishop Barron for serving His people! He gave me lots of Strength through you this morning.🙏🏽 May His blessings remain upon you.
God Bless you beloved Bishop Barron!🙏
Bishop Barron, I'm from Australia and I absolutely love your sermons - and your huge intellect across the board!!
I am liking you more and more bishop. Please keep this up. Not like some of these woke bishops out there. But keep teaching truth .
Amen!
We are in a dark stormy time now. Look for Jesus, reach out to him for help, for salvation.
I learned perhaps a little late in life that when my back was against the wall and no one could help me, boy did I ever call on the Holy Spirit, made the sign of the cross blessed myself with holy water, got my spiritual warfare book out and prayed that Jesus would help me get through this difficult time in my life. It took awhile but with all of those sacramentals with me it kept me strong and confident. Thanks be to God Amen❤❤ Thank Bishop Baron for reaffirming what I believe.
Same here, but better late than never for both of us!!!! God bless us all and keep us in His grace and mercy!🙏🕊💜
Thank you Bishop, God Bless you
Brilliant! Loved the way Bishop explained the Gospel
From one of your Protestant fans, thanks much!
I remember pope Benedict's reflection on this story he said it shows how Jesus will always be available to us no matter the apparent obstacles.
This was VERY INSPIRING. My sister in law in murdered and my brother-in-law killed himself. My job got outsourced to India etc etc bad things. I tell my even in the darkest times God is WITH us! Christ even in the most horrible of storms will protect us. God be WITH US. I will remember the struggles of the early Church as a fight the struggles of today. God's army is behind us!
Thank you Lord for helping me walk on the stormy watets of my life and being there with me holding my hand.
Thank you Bishop i always enjoy the way you speak.
Forget it! Forget it!!!..... Jesus and none else!
May we all in the Church keep our eyes not on what is threatening it,storms indeed! But on Christ who founded that one,holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. If we look to him I think he would tell us to be one in Him not to split into opposing camps. What does Satan do he divides, he scatters. Let all who have the good of the Church and true faith in Christ, have the courage of those convictions to never defend the indefensible, because that is not of God. But the humility to remember that Christ is in charge and remeber what He said after telling St.Peter "..you are the rock on which I will build my Church..", then: ""and the gates of the underworld will not stand against it".Will that stop Satan throwing everything he has at it? No the opposite. So lett us pray for the guidance of the Holy spirit, let us not be afraid, and let us be one in Christ. Amen
🙏❤️🙏
May I ask some questions, express some thoughts, with regard to the world today & the role of the Church with respect to the same, & hopefully do so without being or sounding presumptuous? Like many people, I'm sure, I watch different podcasts mostly ones about.Chtistianity, and the Catholic Church. There is excellent, informative, engaging stuff on social media; with respect to both. I was born in 1962 in Glasgow & truth be told school's, including faith schools were, in working class areas pretty poor. Most of what I've learned about my faith, I learned but recently. I love listening to Bishop barron, since though I've forgotten more than I knew of philosophy, I can still at least string a syllogism together & spot a non sequitur a mile off; including one in a Trent Horn podcast, involving infinite regress. But that guy is excellent so I may be wrong, & anyway I digress. We all know we get sent e-mails, etc "related" to what we veiw on-line. And I - who only recently learned there was such a thing as the Church Militant, let alone the concominants of - seriously; don't want to be reading stuff that's headed: how to critise Francis, r you kidding me; also that's Pope Francis, right! I don't know who reads these comments, staff at word on fire, Bishop barron himself, or whoeve? But another podcast I subscribe to is Dr. Taylor Marshall, & know that he said that Bishop Barron recently blocked him; again I wouldn't dream of presuming as to the reasons for that let alone critise the same. And to be Frank I find his attitude, certainly to the Pope - often addressing him by his surname only - and to the church as a whole, not only depressing but at sometimes saddening. Not least because I see no reason to doubt his sincerety or facts.
Now, I'm afraid I probably will sound presumptuous, but in times when so many people have lost any real sense of objective truth and when indeed the Church needs to reach out to the marginalised more than ever, can't we have the humility to reach out to to our fellow Catholics too? To end on a positive note, and now I really am presuming, in suggesting that when it comes to compassion, mediating skills and, excellently informed & informatve a priest, you couldn't got much better than fr.Chris Alar of the Marion fathers. His videos on Vatican 2, particularly, as well as the lgbtq movement&'wokism' are excellent.He's an excellent example of Christian charity & a with a sense of humour too, imagine lol!? But seriously hope yous don't mind my musings, from easterhouse, Glasgow, where in the 23 years that I've been back practising my faith, if never known anything thing but excellent priests, an sisters('salesian'). And Dr. Marshall could add Bishop Joseph Toal, to the list of "good" bishops in the Church to help him reach his list of 12, of the same
Anyway that's me said my tuppence worth. ✌️be with all at Word On Fire, & with anyone who took the trouble to read this. And thank God for Our Lord Jesus Christ, and St.Paul for saying it. 🙏❤️🙏
Well further to my comment above; I'm glad to say I stand, today; corrected, humbled and massively better informed. I'm referring specifically to my saying re, my having no cause to doubt Taylor Marshall's facts. Thanks to viewing today the always excellent Trent Horn, and his video: rebutting Kenneth Hall(?) & Trent Marshall; I've reason aplenty to doubt Dr. Marshall's 'facts'. Thanks again Trent for the joy of listening to your reasoning, reasonableness, charity & patience. You certainly put those talents & graces to good use. Keep up the good work of defending the good news. And ✌️be with you and yours.
I have no words, except that you, Bishop Barron, blew that one out of the park! I’m so thankful for your guidance! Wow!!
"If we trust in His divinity and power, we too can walk on water."
Amen! Bishop Robert Barron is preaching the Word on Fire!!! Unfortunately many Christians worship their 'political narrative' as if their political narrative were on the same level as God. A good Roman Catholic who is moving of the motion of the Holy Spirit speaks on the level 2 Corinthians 10:5, "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
He with ears, hear:
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.

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!

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.
Go ahead. I bet you you will give up when the water reaches your knees.

When you walk beneath stormy clouds,
Or you wander through dark night,
When you have not a hand to clasp,
You can find him right there beside you.
*He can calm every storm,*
*He can calm evey fear;*
*He can heal every wound,*
*He can heal every heart.*
Thank you.
Wonderful as always!! All glory to the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit 🙏
Bishop barran is a gift for us at this time in our church. God bless him and his ministry.
Love bishop Barron so much here in northern Ireland x
12:37-12:41 Based Bishop Barron
Word "on" Fire, indeed!
You're the best Bishop!
Now, Bishop Barron touches on a key aspect of why I can only by Catholic. ... Et unam sanctam catholicam et apostolicam ecclesiam. This one is another best, in a long string of bests!!! ... May the Lord continue to bless you, your Excellency.
You are a wonderful Bishop. Thank you for your beautiful homilies and your service to God and how you help all of us.
Listening to you in Glasgow Scotland. Being fed solid food. Thank you for your words Bishop Barron. 🙏
Thank you Bishop Barron.............!!
8 Billion people in the World, and God knows each and everyone of them.
God forgive me of my sins. Walk with me through my life, until my soul joins you in Heaven. 🙏
Amen, Bishop Barron!! Amen!!
I was in a nursing home the other day. A home that at one time had been owned by the Catholic Church; once run by nuns. When it was, it was considered one of the best nursing homes in the State. Unfortunately the home was sold due to the Church needing money to pay off debts from all that happened in the scandals. Its now owned by a different organization now which has a non-Catholic Christian affiliation. This organization still runs the home as a Catholic one. There is a medium sized chapel where Mass is done regularly. So, on the day I was there, the residents were doing karaoke on CZcams in a dining room that was next to the chapel. I was in the hallway, just outside the door to the karaoke activity, just listening, not really looking in. A song ended and I heard the activities director asked for requests. Silence came from the elderly crowd. The director muttered a few things and then I heard, "How about 'Like a Virgin?' Not believing what I heard, I turned to look into the dining room and couldn't believe what I saw. Behind the director who had just suggested that song was a full human sized statue of Our Lady. The director had her back to the statue. I'm not sure it would have mattered if she did see it. I don't know if someone saw the look of disbelief on my face of the song suggestion by the director with Our beautiful mother behind her, but someone then suggested they try to find a Gospel piece to sing instead. Amy Grant was suggested, but I found myself opening up my own voice and saying, "How about "Our God is an Awesome God." I knew it wasn't a Catholic song, not even sure why it suddenly came to my mind...it just did. It's a very simple and profound in just that one phrase that elevates our God to greatness beyond our total understanding. A song known by Catholics and non-Catholics alike. One that the very elderly could sing with a joy to it, because Our God IS an Awesome God! Who brought to the world our salvation through His chosen Mary and the Holy Spirit. A virgin, unlike the one in the suggested song. Faithful to her God and Spouse, to give birth to His only Son: Jesus Christ, Our Salvation. Mary, a completely pure bride true to her beloved God and His plan for her. So the opposite of the virgin in that suggested song. So, again, Bishop Barron, I say Amen to a reflection that truly hit home for me today! Thank you so much for your gift of teaching the Gospel News! God bless!
I don't see the relevance of your story, but thank God for Rich Mullins!
Our God is an Awesome God! We need to use our eyes to look for his Presence all around us, and remember his grace to us through his chosen Virgin. Amen.
Depending on ourselves isn't only a spiritual dead end, it's very obviously a physical dead end too! All perishable things and people are a DEAD end. Only through Christ that we can have everlasting life.
Love your sermons Bishop Barron and I'm among the many who pray for you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
So grateful for the reminder “that we need to borrow some of the Power of Christ to get through these turbulent times and that in this way we do him homage.” May God’s Spirit continue to bless you abundantly!
Sr. Brigid Cannon, OP

Hello
I too Father Barron, am Catholic and do love being one.
In Him and thru Him
This is so encouraging at a time when we in the Church could feel all is lost (declining mass attendance, participation in Sacraments, etc.). Thank you for emphasising both the literal and spiritual aspects of this beautiful Gospel reading. God bless you Bishop Barron.
I am here because my son told me about you. I am enjoying what you teach.
Oh, the depths of the gospels, thank you for taking us into the deep, for showing us the Divine light, and the way to walk on the stormy waters. Praise the Blessed Trinity and thank you Bishop Baron

I appreciate how Bishop Barron gives us a look at this passage noting the theological implications of the precise wording. Ultimately, God will get us through whatever storms this ship of the church faces. Even in the darkest time before the Light emerges, let us look unto Christ, not taking our gaze away, because we can count on Him.
It's a blessing to listen to your sermon Bishop ..the way you explain the scriptures ...just enlighten my soul...Thank you Bishop 😊

What a much-needed, clear and comfoting, heartening reminder of the full meaning of that wonderful Gospel event. Just what we especially need right now, individually and as a society. May God bless you and keep you, Bishop.

Thank you Bishop Barron for the iconic representation.
