  • Friends, Jesus tells us his messiahship is one of service, not self-interest. As sinners, we have a tendency to understand our religious lives in a self-interested way, but the grace God gives us is meant to be given away.

    I recently began going back to church and praying the rosary everyday for a couple of months now. I have learned so much and I finally have peace.
    Even more recently, I met a homeless man who asked for money. I only had 20 cents to my name and I gave it to him feeling horrible, but I then remembered I had my rosary in my pocket.
    I gave it to the homeless man and he began sobbing and saying it was the best give he had ever been given. I don’t know if he was sincere, but I do know that I hope it helps him the way it has helped me.
    His name is Ernesto

    God’s plan is always superior to our human planning. Often prayers are answered with God saying no, I have something better in mind for your prayer. If we can stay connected to faith during the storms of disappointment, failure, pain and suffering, we often come to see God’s “better plan” . We are always stronger when we are firmly tethered to our faith.

    Oh my, Bishop Barron! This Sermon is full of "The Prophetic" truth that should lead us all to do His will, not our own. As it is written in The Lord's Prayer. A very moving and tender message laid bare. Thank you. Christ will not bend the tender reed. Rather, through freely giving of the self to Him, are we living His calling.

    The fundamental spiritual principle: « the grace you have been given is not meant for you. It is meant now to be given through you to the world and in the process you find yourself increasing « . A huge lightbulb just went off in my head. It’s not about me; it’s not about you. Bishop Barron you clearly follow this spiritual principle in how you freely share your God given intellect and insights to all of us. God bless you abundantly and thank you for sharing the grace that has been given to you to transform others.

    Amen! Thank you for sharing Bishop Barron. I’m retired now but I’ve had 3 service careers in my life and thinking about them the other day the Holy Spirit revealed to me that it was not I who chose those for me, but God. Then I had a sense that it was a power greater than myself that lead me to them and I had little to do with the choices. God put me often in positions to teach or train others too, and not always to my benefit, but to his. I thank you for offering even more clarity to my life experience. Blessings to you all.

    Recently, my priest denied giving me his blessings during the sacrament of reconciliation because anger is not a sin. He also denied me absolution. Apparently I must commit a grave sin in order for me to seek a priest’s blessing.

    Thank you! I feel that you are a prophet for out times. I eagerly await the message of the Gospel you bring to us each Sunday. Thank you for allowing God to use the gifts He has given you to teach us.

    Very good. Those looking for the truth it won’t be found in the future, but in the past. Our brethren that paved the way for us transmitted to us the truth given by Christ. The Traditional Latin Mass is the Church’s hidden treasure of truth.

    I received the grace Bishop Barron is talking about. The good news is that I ended up using it to help somebody even without planning it. It's like nothing I've ever achieved in my life. Technically I did it, but it was 100% GOD work. I don't know how to explain it. I did pray for it though. I asked GOD for it...and then I forgot about it.

    If our gifted graces flowed to others how different the world would be.
    Thanks Bishop Barren, wonderful message!

    God has given you the grace to be an excellent communicator. So tell us more about him through his word.
