Stretching Out to Great Things: Bishop Barron’s University of St. Thomas Address

Friends, this past weekend, I was honored to deliver the commencement address to the graduating class at the University of St. Thomas in Houston. The entire point of a Catholic intellectual formation is to produce great souls. A great soul doesn’t invent her own values; rather, she intuits the marvelous intellectual, moral, and aesthetic values that are found in the objective order-and then she responds to them with her whole heart.

St. Thomas Aquinas, through your intercession, please pray that God give me the strength to follow His Holy Will, to guide me to the right path, to forgive of my sins, and to cultivate my soul to be a better human being.🙏🙏🙏

This is my favorite Bishop Barron speech, I have listened to it several times now ❤

[@JohnR.T.B.]

Our 'objective values' as Christians with regard to morality and humanity are not actually some obscure and distant shared feelings among men, but embodied definitively in the Person of Jesus Christ.

[@TheSeventhSnivy]

I graduated last year Bishop, and didn’t have any graduation ceremonies, so my Newman Center and I watched your 2020 Graduation address last year! It was such a blessing to hear from you. I’m jealous of these UST grads! Lol.

[@kelechukwuanozyk7605]

Very inspiring. Thank you Bishop Barron

[@Richie016]

Bishop Barron's address to the audience at St. Thomas university, marks the intellectual wisdom and peer awareness on social norms and moral values.

"...to produce a great soul." 🕊

[@Teamfra]

Beautiful!! Set out!

[@MaryvalePress]

Great speech! The Summa is just full of great homilies ready to be preached. I just wish more priests preached them rather than something they saw on facebook.

[@marypinakat8594]

*St.Thomas Aquinas, Pray for us☆*

[@maybettesantos4338]

What a gifted speaker!

[@helenflemister699]

Through your intercession, St. Thomas

[@sici780]

Woooow!!!!

[@papallegatepoope3010]

A Bishop being the only person who doesn’t seem particularly formal in Doctoral robes. Like yeah it’s fancy, but you should have seen what he wore on Sunday 😎.

[@marypinakat8594]

Some fancy to robes?

Have you been to Africa? Have you been to Nigeria
