Time to Get Back to Basics - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

- čas přidán 24. 02. 2023
- Friends, we come now to the holy season of Lent, our preparation for Easter. I've often said that Lent is a time to get back to basics. It’s like when you're starting the football season and have to get back to fundamentals of the game, or when you're getting back to playing golf after a long winter away and have to remember the fundamentals of the swing. So in the spiritual order there are certain fundamental truths, and the readings for this first Sunday of Lent are especially good at getting us in touch with them.

May our Catholic politicians remember who they are supposed to be.
Amen.
And may they understand who they are called to serve and do so with humility.
By God's Grace may it be so!🙏
Good for you Bishop Barron
WE LOVE YOUR CANDID TRUTHFUL TALKS. BE NOT AFRAID. YES WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH LIES.....
We have no other teacher than the holy spirit. The spirit knows our hearts and intentions.
Gen 3 this explanation is so positive. God’s No-No is a YES!!! Permission before prohibition. Great
Thanks, father : )
I always appreciate how you explain the Bible, Bishop Barron. You make it easy to understand and put into action in my life. Thank you for this sermon and God bless you always.
Hi
Just wait until you get your hands on the Word on Fire Bible.
So true

He is the God of good and life. He is the criteria. So to love what God loves and hate what God hates. Very challenging.
Yet very simple.
True Wisdom!
Bishop Barron brought me back to the Church. I listen to him daily. I wouldn't be back without him and Fr. Mike. I have a whole notebook on His Excellency's sermons. It makes me feel good to know he is one of our modern-day apostles. He does a great job. He's such a brilliant man. I'd love to have 1/10 of his mental capability, but I'm learning from him at least.
Oh dear Bishop, how wise and insightful you are! How I wish you were around when I was in my teens, 20's and 30's doing all the wrong things because they satisfied ME. Oh yes, those activities and events were fun at the time and I do remember them fondly - - but with the knowledge now that I was not searching for God, but satisfying my own ego. And now in my late 70's, I am so very happy that I have found God and can work towards my recommitment to His words of love and truth and simple obedience.
Me too. God bless you⚘
My story too. Now 75 and I feel I can relate to your story.
Me too.
We have sons and descendents to pass these teachings
You are chosen by our dearest Lord 🙏🏽. You are not late . Our Lord is waiting for all of us . No one is perfect and all of us failed .
So happy that you have re- dedicated your life . I can’t imagine how happy the heaven is about you . 🙏🏽Prayers for you in this spiritual journey and May the Good Lord bless you abundantly. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💕
I love the forthright way you say "NO, that's not it!"
It is so true that God has a small number of things He prohibits for us, but gives us the great permission of so much we can do, enabled more fully by following those few no's.
Astounding, basic yet profound, put God first!
Thanks again Bishop for another gem of a sermon!
Would love to watch Sunday Mass on TV but can't find the right channel Without goings-on line don't know how plz help GOD BLESS
Hello Bishop Barron. Greetings from Thailand. Thank you so much for this powerful sermon. I've listened to it 3 times and each time your message has brought me more and more understanding of something I've been wondering and searching for an answer. Your sermon just gave me that answer and explanation. I started to cry, and it seemed time stopped as I found myself in this powerful sphere of better understanding God. I feel like all my efforts and sacrifice have been paid off as God granted me this understanding. Thank you so much Bishop Barron. Thank you for helping me become a better Christian. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
to hear these truths of thei teachings of the bible is a gift & blessings, thank you
Now I see God's Ten Commandments as a hedge of protection He created them to be ❤ God bless you 💛 Thank you⚘
Bishop, I started watching your videos years ago as I was coming out of atheism. Now I'm in RCIA, excited to enter the Church this Easter Vigil! Your ministry has been an important catalyst for my conversion.
This is a God sent reflection at this point in my life! Thank you Bishop
WOW i never heard it like that before.stupendious what a great GOD we have.Bishop Barron ⚡⚡⚡
I had a rough start to Lent, but I hope to reflect and get back on the straight path
It's not how you start, it's how you finish.
God bless you🌻💛🌷😊
God🙌bless

Blessings from God Our FATher, Son, Holy Ghost!🔥🙏
May God bless you today and always 🙏💗
I appreciate you, thanks for the truth, and nothing but the truth. JLR
When ones world view puts God in the center of our focus everything else comes into focus and clarity.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, on your own intelligence do not rely; In all your ways be mindful of him, and he will make straight your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes, fear the Lord and turn away from evil;”
Proverbs 3:5-7
I love these verses! It’s the whole bible summed up in 3 verses. Extraordinary really.
My favorite Bible verse
We know that God is good, because he's given us Bishop Barron.
thank you Bishop! God bless you.
Fellow sinners... 🙂🙏
Thank you Bishop for being there for us.
Thank you Bishop. The tree of good and evil is when the first man and woman determine for themselves what is good and evil, not what God determines for true life
i love how Bishop Barron explains the most hidden meanings and helps me apply them to my life.
Outstanding sermon 🙏!!!! Thank you Bishop Barron 🙏❤
Thank you Bishop Barron. God bless always.
You're a blessing, thank you Bishop
Thank you your Excellency.
Thank you Father
Gracias. Dios te colme de Bendiciones.
Once again, it was an amazingly uplifting and encouraging sermon.
Some time ago, I began recognizing that one of the best ways of thanking my Heavenly Father is to plan to thoroughly enjoy every innocent pleasure He brings to me. It's amazing the joy this one insight has brought into my life! It is like the Father is laughing at the laughter of His child!
This is a great idea; it's so easy to focus on every little misfortune we experience, but often difficult to delight in little joys. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻

Very true⭐🌸💮
Wonderful wonderful homily! You are right that so much havoc in the world has been the result of ego and power. We see it all around us. Lent has been a special time for me, because it is helping me to understand that God has won the war, we just have to love Him and live in His love! God bless you!
Thank you, Jesus, for letting me be lazy on Sunday!
Bishop Barren always on point!
So the prohibition is there to enable man to be truly master, exercising his free will rooted in the will of God.
Thank you Bishop .
What a sermon! Thank you, Bishop Barron!!
Thank you Bishop Barron
Thank you Bishop Barron ❤
Amen and yes Lord 🙏
Peace be with you!
Thank u Bishop Barron for your wisdom & help in getting us on the right path each time you proclaim the Word of God🙏🤗
God bless you bishop for your wise words. So many good points. We want to be "god" so many times, decide what is right or wrong, instead of looking up to our God and His Holy Word. We need to focus more on the positive things, praise and worship the Lord for what He has done for us, for what He gave us. Feeling limited by the Commandments is the lie of the evil that so many falls for. So Praise the Lord always 🙏
Excellent!!! Thank you Bishop Barron!! I needed to hear this. 🙏
Thank you for this Homily Bishop Barron!
Such a powerful sermon!!! I thank and praise Jesus for you 🙏
God Bless you Bishop Barron 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
Thank you, again, Bishop Barron. A NYT columnist wrote today how Thomas Jefferson predicted a secular society in less than a generation. And how every few generations, a surge in religious embrace has risen up to thwart such a secular onslaught. Perhaps we are on the cusp of such a surge. If so, your Sunday sermons may well be the springboard. IMHO. You not only speak to those of us without power, but to those with big egos and much power. Your words seem to draw the ears of all -- whatever their station, wherever they may reside. Bless you.
The best synopsis of Eve's sin I've encountered. I will always remember the "great permission" in concert with the "great prohibition". Thank you Bishop Barron, again simple language to understand complex concepts.
"God is Criterion of Good * Evil and all life" . Amazing and anointed preaching; God bless Bishop Barron
Thank you, Bishop Barron.
Amen blessings to all
Thank you!
And bless you too ❤️🙏
Fabulous
Would that all politicians, religious leaders and business leaders heed these wise words! No wonder Dante placed so many well known figures in the circles of the Inferno…
To me, you are the best orator and bible explanator I have ever encountered in my life. Many thanks for these words that bring light over the darkness.
These words are captivating:
There is one great permission (access to all good things) and one great prohibition: do not make yourself the criterion for good and evil.
Always watch what is your relationship to these 3: pleasure, honor and power.
Always submit yourself to God and put the rest in relation to God.
Bishop Barron, thank you so much. I'm trying hard and failing often. I'll keep trying.
God love and protect you, Bishop Barron.
Thank you Bishop. I look forward to your sermons. God bless you!!!
Love this. My mind can now look at each of the ten commandments and see not just the prohibitions but also the permissions that each commandment brings us. Have no gods before Him. Having Him as our only God brings us grace, justice, joy, peace .... Come Holy Spirit. 🙏
Absolutely spoke to me deeply. Just what I needed to put Lent in the right focus for me. I will be saving this one to my favorite Bishop Barron Cermons!
Yes I liked it had never thought about the many permissions yet have fallen to prohibitions and as I have heard by other about the song I did it my way well every time I did it the wrong way somehow my so Holy so merciful Holy Spirit has seemed forgiven me and always got me happy endings, so yes with the help of by forever by my side the Holy Spirit being my constant companion my way with by his help my way I pray be along with my constant companion that keeps getting me out of my faulty mess ups , constantly ask my so merciful most Holy Spirit left with each one of us by our most holy Jesus , to please never give up on me ,that I want with all my heart soul spirit for my way to be his way Amen .
Powerful message
Thank you Bishop
Bishop! My heart has been on fire for some time but you take it up to a higher degree and it stays that way.
From an Irish man who now makes the US home. 👍👍
When i look objectively at the 10 commandments I see a road map for happy harmonious living both as an individual and societally, with God as the head
Beautiful indeed! I wish all a fruitful Lent experience.
Thanks for your sermon, Bishop!🙏
🙏Thank you these sermons Bishop, it is so good and so necessary for them to be said.
Thank you so much Bishop for this profound sermon. So much food for thought. May God bless you and the Holy Sprit keep guiding you, so that you guide us. 🙏🏽
Brilliant. Another masterclass
Extraordinary! Enough said, except for thank you for this biblical explanation. God bless you and everyone!
You are a good and kind man of God. ❤. You really love Jesus… I see that and I thank you for always trying to help us be better Catholics. May Our Blessed Mother cover you under Her Mantel and protect you from all diabolical attacks
Thank you for this centering message on the basics of the gospel message. this is not only sound theology but also very sound psychology put in a theological frame of reference. the point is, we all live by a criterion around which we organize our life, the question is, what is my criterion by which I am living my life. when we are faced with things in our life that bring us to the end of our rope, that we do not have control over is the moment we are confronted with the criterion we have chosen to organize our life around. Typically it takes such an event to bring this awareness to the for front of our consciousness, but when it does we have the opportunity to put the criterion of our life into perspective and answer the serpent once again, not as adam and eve did, but as Jesus did in his temptation with God as the criterion of good and evil.
Thanks Bishop. You enrich our lives
Awesome homily Bishop! Thank you so much again. God Bless you 🇨🇦🇨🇦🙏🙏🙏👏
He is the best Catholic Bishop I’ve ever heard and better than any Pastor in Protestant Churches!
You are amazing as always Bishop Barron. Words of wisdom indeed. With your weekly sermons, I am gradually getting a good understanding of the Holy book bit by bit. It is why I don't miss your sermons. They are amazing. Kindly keep it up. God bless you.
Truly “Words of Wisdom”
Thank u Bishop Barron 🙏🙏🙏❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥I watched it 3 times !
Life-changing homily! What a beautiful perspective of the tree of knowledge in the garden of Eden… Thank you for so much food for thought! Blessings!
Thank you so much Father, for the sacrifices and 'permitted Goods' you have offered up in order to serve us all. For your life of prayer and offering so we may be fed. Thank you! I learn so much from listening and re-listening to your sermons. You are clear, good and succinct.
Thank you! God bless you abundantly!
I love your passion Father Barron 😊, thank God for your priesthood
Can't wait to watch!
Keeping awake in India!
Blessings
Once again, Bishop Barron brings me back to the 2nd Episode of his Catholicism series talks our longing for God and St. Thomas Aquinas saying that to fill that void the substitutes for God are pleasure, honor, wealth, and power. Here, Bishop Barron mentions those same substitutes for God when Jesus is tempted by Satan. I always gain another little insight from every sermon.
Simple but deep, thanks Bishop!
Wonderful homily 🙏
Thank you and God Bless you.🙏🙏
Walking forward
What's freedom without a limitation? Freedom is not for us to do everything we want to do, but to do everything we have to do, for the good of us and our community or people.
This Sunday Readings stirred much in my heart. My profound conversion experience has come into focus. My 9-year son saw the vision of Jesus on the Cross, bleeding from head to toe smiling at him and Blessed Mother stepping on the serpent 15 years ago in Medjugjore. I now fully believe that the Mother of God freed me from the bondage of sexual sins to save my marriage. I led a life of promiscuity and I thought it would be impossible to save my marriage. I was proven wrong, and now I have an immeasurable love for the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I saw the two Hearts overlapping each other in the sky right after my conversion. They serve as a refuge for sinners and I was the worst one of all.
Yes, it is back to the basics of the true teachings of the Catholic Church on the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman and the sanctity of life from conception to natural death as God has intended from the beginning. Your homily touches me, Bishop Barron. May God continue to bless your ministry.
I'm praying for an hour first thing every morning and giving up milkybars. I love Lent! God bless everyone 🌱🌿🌾x
Bishop, you're so right. We forget how many choices God has given us for happiness, and instead, focus on the negative we perceive the 10 commandments (or the Church) to be; because they restrict us. Yet, in reality, we all know they're here to protect us. We are so lost. Any person who has been on a diet knows if you want to lose weight, there are certain foods you're restricted from, so you can have what you want, that is, to lose weight. It's your choice, live with it; just like it is in the moral life. Heaven or hell, it's your choice. Thank you GOD.
Thank you, and God bless you always, Bishop Barron 🙏
❤🙏🏼Amen🙏🏼💖
I've listened, so 'I can get good sleep now!
Splendid Bishop Barron!
God bless you and all here.
