Strength for the Journey - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 09. 2024
- Friends, we’re continuing our reading of the sixth chapter of the Gospel of John, which is all about the Eucharist. And here’s my take on our reading for today: A long trip by car or plane can be uncomfortable, even overwhelming. But we’re heading somewhere else; we’re on a journey. And on a long journey, you have to find sustenance to keep going.

Hey friends, I hope this message reaches a few of you all. I’m currently living in a Protestant household and I have come to realize the validity and richness of the Catholic faith. I want to join through RCIA and begin the confirmation process, but my parents are quite opposed to such. I will start going to daily Mass soon, just to be in the presence of our Lord more fully. If I may, I ask for your prayers for me. Thank you all.
Praying for you ❤
God be with you friend🙌
Congratulations on finding the true light that will guide you the rest of your journey.
Praying for you...❤
Congratulations on ur decision!!! 🙏You will never regret it! Stay close to Our Lady pls? She will take ur hand n guide u to Jesus!
❤ God Bless you n shower u with Grace! Welcome to the train, n you will be forever in my prayers! 😊🥳🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹
*Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing" drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40,000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today, 1 receive 85,000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas, CA, and travel a lot. God has promoted me more than once and opened doors for me to live beyond my dreams. God kept to his promises to and for me*
There's wonder working power in following Kingdom principles on giving and tithing. Hallelujah!
But then, how do you get all that in that period of time? What is it you do please, mind sharing?
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US and abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
And thanks to my co-worker (Michael) who suggested Ms Susan Jane Christy
How can I start this digital market, any guidelines and how can I reach out to her?
Bishop Barron, Whenever I listen to your sermons, it seems that God himself is speaking through you. What are wonderful explanation! I am really fortunate to be able to listen to you. Thank you!
He is really blessed
@@magdasune1 We can all be this blessed, believe me, let us work towards it.
Really, there are some brilliant persons still there in this broken world who are trying their level best to spread the gospel to the ends of this Earth. It also reminds us that we should also actively take part in this mission!
The olympics just reposted the opening ceremony full video we should all go make our voices heard!!!!!!! Also tell all other Christians that you know about the reupload!!!!!!!
It’s not god speaking to you moron. It’s just you making it up in your mind you brainless drone.
Bishop Barron.
You truly Made me smile today .
Especially since I Just had my 89 birthday And am getting closer the end of my journey .
It will be Wonderful to reach my eternal
Home.
Jesus is awaiting 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Happy birthday. The Lord Jesus knows best for you 😇
Happy birthday dear Margoh 😊 God love you
🎉Happy Birthday Margo 🎉God Bless you,n shower u with His Grace, n may He have Mercy on your Soul! 🙏🙏🙏
🌹🌹🌹🎂
Happy birthday
I God’s good time. Enjoy every cherished moment with your loved ones.
"For this world is not our home; we are looking forward to our everlasting home in heaven"
*(Hebrews 13:14-16)*
I just prayed The Rosary since a long time and it was amazing
Feels like someone is hugging me all the time
I didn’t realize how filthy and weighed down I was until I went to confession for the 1st time in 30yrs, and i didn’t realize how starving I was until i received the Eucharist after. Christ is King
Thanks for sharing this. Isn't it absolutely wonderful!
Answered prayers.
Praise God 🙌🏻
Great message. I'm a new catholic and I absolutely love bishop Barron's sermons. Thank God for the holy men he calls to guide us 🙏
If the Eucharist is our sustenance on the journey, Confessions are toilet stops. Both highly needed ✨
This homily helped me realize that I can’t make everything perfect in this life, so I should stop trying so hard and quit beating myself about it. It’s supposed to be hard here sometimes and I can’t keep that from happening. Our heavenly home will be perfect and our food for the journey will help us get there. As I reread my comments here, I know that I knew this already, but for some reason it has sunk in today and given me more hope. Thank you, Bishop Barron
God bless you Bishop. Your sermons are so encouraging. I am 81 years old. Don't watch the news. Last night I felt I should watch the news, and after I watched, I regretted watching. Why did I do that. My children and grandchildren are my joy. Going to mass and receiving the eucharist ,adoration, lunch with friends a few times a month is wonderful. But everything else is a ride long distance in a car, airplane, or a motel. Your sermon was wonderful.🙏🙏🙏
Those who hate their lives will keep it for life eternal. I love my life because Jesus in it. I love God's creation, nature, skies, stars, and the moon. Without the eucrist I feel that something is missing in me. And nope, before I was baptized Catholic, I did not enjoy travelling, five stars hotels or the five stars food. There was something missing. It's as if the area of enjoyment in my brain was blocked, obliterated, but the presence of Jesus activated it. Only thanking Jesus for what he gave me, the Catholic faith, for the children I have, and for his glorious creation around me, I can enjoy.
You are right, with all the suffering we can still enjoy life with Jesus dwelling in us. He is our joy. I enjoy being led by Jesus through good times and bad times knowing that He is allowing it to teach me something, it’s for a reason. And so I offer my suffering to Jesus to amend for others. That gives a meaning to my life.
Thank you dear Bishop Barron. Beautiful sermon as usual. Much blessings!
God bless you My Lord Bishop

Years ago, my elderly mother would rave and rave about Bishop Barron (BB!) who said or appeared at the Masses she attended at the Mission in Santa Barbara or Montecito. I hadn't quite returned to the Church yet and when I did return, I discovered BB and these videos and The Word on Fire--but BB was gone from our city. Rats, I just missed him! Well, thank God we have these wonderful, inspiring videos...here I am about to go visit my 97-year-old mother who is so unhappy and wants to die and she's angry that she isn't dying yet because she's so miserable with the food and housing and just tired about life. I'm going to play this video for her to encourage her to hang in there--and I think it will give her a little lift and she will be so happy that none other than Bishop Barron will be delivering this timely reminder. Thank you and God bless you BB.
Beautiful. God bless you and your mother. I am sure she will love this video.
May God bless you and your dear Mother!
I love your sermon Bishop Barron , wonderful as always ,thank you and God bless you always ❤️🙏.
it's so nice having a bishop ----be---well---human ---and share his life experience
MAY GOD BLESS AND PRTECT YOU ALWAYS, OUR DEAR SHEPARD
The Bishop absolutely gets it right every time.
Thank you Bishop Barron
God Bless you and Mother Mary Pray for you.
When Covid arrived, we suffered lockdown, lost our jobs, taking care of 91-year Diabetic Dementia Mum, dwindling savings; how many thousand times have I asked the LORD, "When will this end?! We can't do it anymore, LORD! YOU are not listening. It's falling on deaf ears."
Truly, attending daily Mass has helped us endure this ongoing earthly purgatory!
Thank you for this encouragement. We needed to hear it, Your Excellency.

“This world offers you comfort. But you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness.” Pope Benedict XVI
I'd prefer comfort. And perhaps it is too easy for the Pope to make such a bold statement when he is living in such opulence.
Thank you for showing me a better way to a better life love you lots Jesus Christ and Jehovah thank you so much for caring for me and loving me for me
As Bishop Barron says and as Peter, Paul and Hebrews also say, we are sojourners on earth but, you know, I'm not tired of this life, either. So many fun things happening -- with family, friends, politics, and almost daily new discoveries in medicine, science, technology, space, creativity in the arts, health and human behavior. It is all a gift from God -- as was the Garden of Eden -- and it's still a wonderful life, with the exception of airplane travel.
In the deeply secular culture we live in today, what a powerful message from BB. Like so much of teaching of Jesus, the idea that we are not meant for this world is a hard truth to take in. Here is an example of God’s grace. When we do finally accept this truth and allow Jesus to sustain us, the journey in this life opens up in the best way possible. Your life does not really begin until you first allow Christ to be the most important thing in your life.
for sure we are here to better the world around us with Jesus leading us may we all find the way to express his love and help raise up all who cross our path God Guide US Amen and may Peace come all who are suffering
'This world is not our home. It's a ship.'

Perhaps the ship is all there is.
@user-ug2hk3go6i I'm %100 sure they all reached land.
Amen
Thank you, bishop!
Loved this homily padre Barron. Haven’t done this much laughing through a homily before. Trips and the stories we have from traveling are always hilarious. In the moment torture, chaos and danger, later, crying from laughing. May we laugh through life until we get there. May we be always prepared for the trip, may we help others along the way always. May we travel with the angels, may God be in our every word, every action, in all our senses. May we feel Him with us. May we bring our family and friends with us to the Eternal Kingdom. May we find Our Heavenly Father waiting with open arms. Thanks for the laughs and smiles. Bless you
❤❤❤❤
Beautiful Sermon Bishop Barron, You never fail to enlighten me! God Bless You ❤️💥🙏
For college graduation, I was given a trip to Europe. From JFK we took a small Portuguese plane. I sat in the last seat which was a bench like the back of an old bus. A European man with his suit jacket over his shoulders, sits next to me, smiles and orders a bottle of champagne. I naively thought the flight might have an unexpected perk. The continental mister drank the entire bottle by himself from New York to Portugal without so much as a nod in my direction. From then on the Lord was my travelling companion of choice.
I could listen to Bishop Baron all day and still want for more inspiring homilies. Truly the Holy Spirit is with you. Thank you.
Saludos padre de este sacerdote. Dios te bendiga.
Ahora aprendo ingles contigo mientras escucho la palabra de nuestro Señor.
Bishop Barron truly is a gem.
WOW, vielen Dank! Sie haben eine wunderbare Gabe, das Evangelium auszulegen. Ich liebe Ihre Predigten. Gott segne Sie!
Como siempre. Gracias Padre Barron. Sus palabras son el alimento espiritual que todos necesitamos para poder llegar al fin de nuestra vida terrenal.
God bless you 🙏❤️🙏
Beautiful beautiful 😇🙏thank you Bishop Barron
One of his best sermons 🙌
I’ve been listening to your sermons for years, literally awestruck by your command of so many disparate subjects, theological, philosophical, secular, hell, baseball, too, for that matter. A certain fanboy dimension, long unconscious, probably factored into my not writing in the comments section before. Your erudition was intimidating, through no fault of your own. That being said, today’s homily of Bishop Barron on planes, trains, and automobiles, of bad nights in a bad hotel to get us to the centrality of the Eucharist as our sustenance to get us through the journey left me amazed in yet another way. Your candor and humanity came through here with a brilliance on par with that encyclopedic intellect of yours. I’ve always wondered how celebrating the sacrament of reconciliation would be like with you. Now I must make a pilgrimage to Minnesota and confess that I don’t understand a great many things that trouble me, including the reverence for Bob Dylan. You are uniquely qualified to enlighten my mind and unburden my soul from this seemingly unshakable inability to value Dylan more highly. Talk about thorns in Saint Paul’s flesh! Good Lord! In asynchronous communication such as this, things can get misconstrued and perceived as being facetious in a trivializing, disrespectful way. I can assure you that I’m very serious. Blessings! You are truly a treasure to the Church and one of the most edifying speakers I’ve ever encountered. Thank you.
What an inspiring sermon!. Bishop Barron meets Woody Allen.
Blessings and thanks Bishop Barron for all your hard work in service to our Lord 🙏🏻❤️Thanks especially for your inspiring sermons 🙏🏻May we all pray for peace in this world 🌎 🙏🏻😊
@BishopRobertBarron Gracias por recordarnos que esta vida es como vivir en un mal hotel o en un largo viaje en coche o en avión muy incómodo, incluso agobiante. Que todos vamos a otro lado, estamos en camino hacia nuestra verdadera Patria. Y que este camino es un largo viaje, y hay que encontrar el sustento para seguir adelante y la Eucaristía es el sustento que nos mantiene en este camino con todas dificultades que nosotros encontramos en el camino de la vida. Gracias por tus palabras!
Thank you for guiding us on all of our journeys, your excellency.
My Lord Bishop, I respect you and I love your homilies and I do take them into consideration for my reflection. I am a Seminarian, very soon I'm going to join the novitiate, I am through with Philosophy for 3 years and your homilies are really helping me to grow. please, keep it up!
I use to dread travel until I was given the grace to realize everyone is working to help and serve me to reach my destination. This attitude of gratitude realizing how the world is working together to bless us.
Thank you for seeing the other of the picture. I feel the same way.
Thank you Bishop
I don't know how i got into Adoration wanting to give up, but i get out with a revived heart and courage that the world can't give me
"You have to find sustenance for yourself during the journey...... That's the Eucharist."
Those words and that pause.... Poetry.
Thank you, good Bishop for being so beautifully human 💕
Thank you for this wisdom, Bishop. God bless you and our Catholic Church
Excellent homily on the readings for this Sunday! Thank you Bishop.
Beautiful❤❤❤Thank you Bishop Barron. God bless you too
Thank you Bishop Barron. You hit the nail. God bless
I sure get it Bishop♥️thank you. I keep reminding my friends, this is not our Home!
The journey of life is tough. We often get stuck in bad hotels, have flights cancelled, and traffic jams. Thank you bishop for the reminder that we need the Eucharist, to sustain us on our journey heavenward!
Bishop Barron thank you for this message, it really opened my eyes
One of the best relatable analogies to the foundation of our faith. Thank you Bishop! May God bless and protect you this day!
7:30 eastern time
I love Bishop Barron's sermons. I try to listen to all of them. This one really hit home for me. All his talks are always so profund and easy to understand.
Thank you and blessings to you
Best place trip I ever had...Boston to LA
My family flew standby. Back then you had to dress up. It was always so stressful, never knowing if you'd get on or not. Anyway, we got upgraded to first class. It was a massive plane with recliners. The flight attendants brought us giant, hot, chocolate chip cookies and fresh hot towels for our face. There was a spiral staircase going to a second floor. It was like out of a movie. I was around 12 years old.
Incredible experience. Once in a lifetime, all the other flights I've taken since, have been nightmares 😂
So relatable! Thank you, Bishop, for being human!
Thank you made me feel happy
I will give you the true manna that will sustain you in your journey🙏🙏🙏
Bishop Barron, boy, can I relate to those long car rides---just throw in the fact that I was in the back, back station wagon seat on the rear bumper facing two siblings and sitting beside another, constant car sickness, and an Uncle who smoked, thinking he was being considerate by cracking the window 1/2 inch. Yet, how blessed we were to have a family, a car that functioned, and a place to go! That we may all arrive together one day in heaven with our Blessed Lord, Bishop Barron and all who are reading this note! Amen.
@@lisamarieyavarone2362 oh how I understand, the station wagon,both parents smoking , six kids, and a basset hound way in the back , lol . No seatbelts ,and my two brothers messing around way in the back . We’d be an hour into the trip and mom would say , “ Paul, the children are hungry, and Gus needs water , ( our basset hound) 😂 the best memories
Thank you!!
*I'm meant even now to eat the bread that prepares me for eternal life and it gives me strength for the journey.* (BISHOP BARRON, 19th Sunday of the year) 13: 06 - 13: 17
Thank you so much Bishop Barron! You are always in my prayers! 😇🙏😇
Bishop Barron -
Another grear, rousing, and inspiring homily. Thank you. Regarding your future travel
Fly Aer Lingus to UK and Europe. My wife Ann (married 45 years) is from Coventry England. We have made the trip many times, including a thirteen hour ordeal non-stop from LAX to LHR on a TWA 747! We flew to Manchester via Aer Lingus (Ireland’s national airline) earlier this Summer. Aer Lingus is the best flying we’ve experienced! We were in coach and there was plenty of room and comfy seats, service was wonderful. VERY CLEAN.
Aer Lingus is wonderful.
Thank you, Bishop Barron. With your sermons, a fresh new day starts.🌅 I am grateful and happy to listen to you.
I enjoyed the Homily, Bless the Lord in all that he has given us to make it through our journey.
Thank you, Bishop. Your homilies speak always to my heart.
God love you, Bishop Barron. He took in stride it’s difficult traveling, but you did such a good job and thank God that you made the trip you did help so many people and I love you, Bishop Barron.
Eucharist best explained to the heart more than the brain. Thank you, God bless you Rev Bishop Barron.
Thank you, Bishop Barron. God bless you!
Who doesn’t need that…
strength for the journey!❤✝️
Another great homily. Thank you Bishop Barron!!
Lord only you know the burdens I face as a single mom and Heavenly Father you can change them. Father God I’m in need of your guidance and support. Both of my sons are special needs and require so much from me. I’m overwhelmed at times. I need your help providing for my children. Lord I’m constantly struggling each month to pay rent and I struggle to buy groceries, for my sons I’m ashamed. Lord I come to you asking for help dealing with these issues.
Believe the Lord is with you on your journey! My prayers are with you, as well!
You seem to post these exact words on multiple sites and multiple times. I hope you can feel the prayer support.
I never miss your comments on Sunday,after mass I check your views on the readings,they are so thought provoking,I'm 81 but Bishop ,your videos are my solace!God Bless you and many years ahead !
I really like this homily!!! Thank you!
I love this quote " Bad night in a bad hotel " we need the Eucharist Amen thanks Bishop Baron powerful message
Bishop Barron, you make me proud to be a Catholic!
Thank you, Bishop! A beautiful homily 💜
Such a comfort to be reminded that one day ‘this’ will end and there will be a point to it all. My cup is filled every week enough to get me through to the next. Great to journey with you Bishop Barron. Please come to Australia one day, it would mean so much to meet you. God bless you. 🙏🏼🌟
If you cannot find a 'point' before this ends then that's very sad
Quite enjoyed the traveling stories Bishop Barron...thank you!
Thank you for traveling with me you are a real blessing.
Jesus answered, “It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."
Thank you
For those of us who don't have the privilege to travel ask God to send you there spiritually, you can embrace the ones you love and miss. Your soul will feel it. Their's too.
This was a wonderful message. Bishop Barron always keeps my attention throughout his sermon and at the end, I want it to keep going. Thank you Bishop Barron.
"Eat the bread that prepares me for immortal life, and sustains me on the journey." Thank-you Bishop Barron✝️
Pl 3😊😊
Hi, broken hearted & fearful here in 🇬🇧. Holding tight onto His will be done. Thank you for this sermon, I really needed it 😢🙏
Bishop Barron, Thank you for this rich analogy. You help me to more fully understand the "Word" .
Thank you Bishop!
Thank you bishop Barron.
The hallmark of a good teacher is simplicity. This is good. We are not meant to be in the car.
What a brilliant sermon! Thank you once again for your profound, thought-provoking insights, Bishop Barron.
I studied at Catholic University of America. I remember it as an interesting time. There are many talented people on the faculty. Like Bishop Barron, my first overseas trip was to Glasgow, Scotland. Since then I have learned to take all journeys in stride: 13 hours, 17 hours, 22 hours. Life is a journey.
what a beautiful homily Bishop!! I thank you deeply!
I love Bishop Barron’s sermons analogies and how it always affects my own life. Life is hard sometimes but I know God is always there for me ✝️through Jesus Christ ✝️
“That’s the Eucharist” Amen to that.
Thank you Bishop Barron for strengthening my faith and deepening my belief.🙏🙏🙏😊
I often wonder had Barron been born in the Viking era would he be steering a virgin girl towards the sacrifice spot, telling her how much Odin loves her, probably
It's about the money, Word on Fire latest accounting shows 38 million dollars in assets, how many videos does Barron intend to make, it's such hypocrisy and dishonesty, a lot of charities publish their yearly accounts on their websites but Barron is desperate to keep the accounts hidden, just dishonest.

@@TTHubble they delete any comment that has any mention of WoF financial details and it gets deleted and yet it's public information, why be so immoral!
