    The best word I know to describe God is ineffable. Creator, first cause. but not of the universe. Unknowable. Transcendent. Ultimate essence from which energy and matter come into existence.

    You know what I really love about Bishop Barron’s sermons? He never says the obvious. All the churches and their pastors in my area are so simplistic it’s almost laughable. Almost everything they ever have to say amounts to some variation of “be nice” or “God loves you” or “don’t judge people” or “things will get better”. When I listen to Bishop Barron I always learn something.

      I go to Mass because I am called as a part of God’s family. The Great Sacrifice that takes place during Mass is why we must go. A good sermon can enhance our experience of the scripture, yet The Eucharist is unmatched by any sermon. Consider reading “7 Secrets of the Eucharist” by Vinny Flynn. To God give all the glory❣️

Mike Schmitz has a theme that ties his sermons together week to week. Jesus’ last words are the theme through Lent. Together they are so inspiring. Then Fr.

    I pray Bishop Barron might be a future Pope. He exudes Faith and demonstrates wisdom to lead all believers. He also reveres John Paul II and Benedict, two of the greatest Popes. He knows the Faith. He uses the dynamite of the church. Like the burning bush, he is on fire 🔥with God's Word. Being assigned to Los Angeles is being underutilized. The Pope requires the courage and obedience to speak Truth no matter what...no matter what! There is no worldly leader more significant than the Catholic Pope. Nobody else has the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, or ever will beyond Christ. Thus, the Pope should fear nothing of this world. He should be the ultimate warrior for Christ. And, after 50 years on this planet, the greatest candidate to become that ultimate warrior is Bishop Barron. 'Lord, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Please bless Bishop Barron and his mission. And, if possible, present him the keys to Your kingdom to set the world on fire! We need you more than ever, Lord.'

    I haven’t commented anywhere in years, but need to share that this homily is insightful not only for its content, but also for how succinct and accessible (to everyone) it is to anyone willing to respectfully (fully take another look) come closer to the 🔥 burning bush discalced in all humility. Today, that would look like going to a sacred place like a church or chapel or if necessary, the wilderness; being still, and having a conversation with God (prayer:) who is after all, closer than you are to yourself.

    Whenever I listen to Bishop Barron's sermons I am never disappointed. He brings to life the bible and the dialogues between any man or woman and his Creator.
    The writers of the bible take for granted that the readers know what they are saying in that culture centuries ago. The bishop interprets and translates the words spoken to a meaning that relates to our lives today. I never weary listening to him and being educated academically and spiritually. AMDG

      If god would cure cancer in babies for us that would be great, and spelling greater with a capital G, means absolutely nothing

    So fascinating, so much fun, so exciting. God is everything and nothing all at the same time. Existence. Help me surrender my Lord. To your fire, to your laughter. You who knows me more that anything and anyone. You only know my heart and my soul. I have nothing to proof, I am because You are my Father and I love you because you loved me first and forever. May I be your echo, May I shine with your light. Breath on to me your love always. May I simply be as you want me to be. Let me rest in your arms always, May I never run out of smiles, for as long as you’re with me I smile and thank you. Amen

      Thank you for the gift of Bp. Barron🙏! You are a true gift to the Body of Christ. I am your brother priest, I am presently in a dark place and in need of your prayer and your spiritual guidance. "I am who I am!" please speak to us your fellow priest that we might be all of what God calls us to be, "I am who I am" as my heart crys to know all that He calls me/us to be, now and forever. Heartfelt love to you and you blessed Team. Forever your brother as we identify the God who allows us the grace to live in His life of His Missionary identity.
