What Is the Trinity? - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermons
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2024
- Friends, Trinity Sunday has been called “the preacher’s nightmare.” But while the Trinity remains a supreme mystery, Thomas Aquinas used a basic principle that helps us to get at it: beings, at all levels, tend to make images of themselves. The higher you go in the hierarchy of being, the more interior and the more perfect this principle becomes.

This was essentially a master class in Catholic Theology. We just watched, free of advertising, a class that only a graduate student at Oxford or Cambridge might have witnessed. Bishop Barron is our Professor in a lifelong course in spiritual awakening. There are many incredible teachers out there, but how many can you experience daily for Free?! Plus, this education is essential to not only our present, but our eternal well-being. Knowledge is power and power is the force that makes things happen. I love the image of God creating a perfect image of Himself to go out to the limits of humanity in order to gather it all back to Himself. Christ is the perfect God and the perfect Gatherer, the perfect Sacrifice and the perfect Redeemer. It's all perfect in God. How could we want anything more?
A master class in Catholic Theology. But not what the bible truly teaches.
@@stevei1761 can you explain or prove the Trinity better than bishop Baron to me?
@@27lamarwhat do you mean?

I just happened to catch this as it was airing, and with that special energy I took this sermon very seriously and took pages of notes as Bishop Barron preached, and came back to fill in the parts I missed. While I recognize a true Christian is spiritually yoked to Christ and requires a rebirth, I also love to learn, so thank you for providing so many wonderful attainable resources that are so intelligent and thoughtful. God bless you Bishop Barron and your great team!
Carly, you can also obtain a transcript of the video by clicking on the three dots under the title. A screen opens up and you can copy and paste the entire homily. From there are ways also to get rid of the timestamps and fill the page from side to side thus giving you a concise coherent written version of the Bishop's homily.
@@crazyedswonderfulworldofso9370 Thank you :)
@W. A. W. Thank you. I actually can only watch Peterson in piecemeal. I think he is great, but also very triggering/hurtful at times.
@@crazyedswonderfulworldofso9370 Thanks for passing this along. Just please be aware that sometimes transcripts contain typos.
@@carlysrose the transcript feature here is awesome just watch for the occasional typo. Which can include not just a misspelling of a word, but a completely different word altogether.
Was raised Catholic and left the church 50 years ago because none of it made any sense. This post is the first time anything clicked. I will definitely listen to more from Bishop Barron.
It didn't make any sense because it's made up crap
What an incredible explanation of the Trinity! God bless you, Bishop.
Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus promises to send the Holy Spirit to guide the Church through time. “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth.”
The above quote was taken from Bishop Barron's Scripture quote for today. I bring this up because last week at the 5:30 pm Mass, in a Catholic Church in South El Monte, California, I was disturbed by the priest's homily by which he kept referring the the Holy Spirit as "she." Every time he mentioned the Holy Spirit it was as "she." I had never heard the Holy Spirit referred to as a "she" so I know it was WRONG especially since our Lord and Savior himself refers to the Holy Spirit as "he" and rightly and gloriously so. I hope the other Mass goers caught this this grave error and didn't snooze through it.
@@Gordis57some people who don't use English as a mother language use other languages that describe spirit with feminine pronouns You know that stupid useless thing in other European languages like french Italian and Spanish
@@Gordis57 The reason Jesus used "he" is that the "helper" in Greek is masculine.
Spirit is actually neutral.
I love Bishop Barron. He is a genius. He can make the most complex things in the world simple and understandable. What a true evangelist and theologian he really is ! Thank you so much. And may God bless you !
You've transformed a " preacher's nightmare"( You said it!), into a listener's delight in, AT LAST, UNDERSTANDING! ( I hope) Thank You! ( I didn't go to Mass today, but I feel..forgiven..Thank YOU: In your wonderfull Spanish: GRACIAS ( DE DIOS) TO YOU!

Bishop is great but the real genius behind this is Thomas Aquinas.
@@usenwill Sure, let's agree that that is true. But Bishop Barron has a gift for simplicity and Thomas Aquinas can be a little difficult at times. So we need both of them.
@@mitchellosmer1293
Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Three distinct Persons, one God.
That is the Holy Trinity, my friend.
Wow. I have never seen anything so clearly in my life. It is not to say I understood everything because the Trinity is infinite. But the clarity is remarkable. I wish everyone who reads this a blessed Trinity Sunday. Bless Bishop Barron for his mind-opening sermon. God blesses us all!
You need.glasses.
One of the best Bishop Barron sermons yet 🙏
May your blessings be many!
Can you please explain it to me because I really didn’t grasp how a rock explains the concept of the trinity.
@@markgallemore8856 "An Israelite indeed in whom there is no guile." That's you, brother.
@@timkins9155 I don’t know what you’re talking about you’ve made an assertion without any knowledge or extremely little knowledge. You probably don’t even understand what a Israelite is. Scholars debate this question.
@@markgallemore8856 Brother Mark, I'm not sure which one of us or both is in a state of ignorance here. The scripture I quoted is a complement!
Bishop I would like to thank you and let you know you are one of the people that have been instrumental in my being received into the Catholic Church this week. I have gone from the occult to Christ and you are one of the people that helped me discern that journey. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Welcome,!
@@grmalinda6251 thank you!
Wow, what a beautiful testimony and journey. May God bless you and use you to reach others - for Christ - who are where you were !
@@Prov26-11 Thank you! 🙏🏼
Congrats! So glad to have you in the Church.
I swear you have had conversations with my mother. She used much of you imagery over 50 years ago with me when I was in second grade. Her Catholic education in the 40's was spectacular and I wish was still available.
My favorite sermon bishop. From my heart you have my deepest thanks.
Sometimes with inner despair, I thought to myself, why would God create Human beings who ruin his perfect creation?
Bishop Barron reminds me that God's Love is so powerful and empathising, it brings forth new life. God made us because he wanted to share his love with us.
We can get that love back if we choose the Holy Trinity today.
How much we, Catholics, need these teachings. Once again, thank you so much. B. Barron.
I loved his sermon last week, where he mentioned the idea of too much diversity being a problem. The word "diverse" literally just means "differing from one another". How much do we and our fellow neighbors, our fellow church-goers, our fellow countrymen really want to _differ from one another_ ?
God bless you Bishop 🙏
I remember observing my three sons when they were young. I reflected that one was my heart, another my mind and the third my passion. Then it occurred to me that is how our Creator sees us-as various aspects of Himself.
I believe that the more we lovingly share our differences the greater the possibility that the Trinity is recognized. The Trinity shows up in our dialogue. This is our experiential knowledge of the Trinity working through us, “through the logos” or “dialogue” is enhanced through Perspectival knowledge leading to us participating in the logos through liturgy and the every day life of living agape. We approach, perhaps, a deeper knowledge of God through our shared experience of God that we then put into practice, I think. DD
Great sermon. I also love how he explained it in another lecture.... The "Loved" (God), the "Lover" (Jesus) and the "Love" (Holy Spirit). That made sense to me. Thanks.
I always love your sermons but this one tops it all. It was a gentle hike 'around' the great mystery. However, I don't know that it helps any more than the simple understanding of how one human can have many "roles" like wife, mother, homemaker, artist (or doctor or other public identity), each understood as a distinct identity. Take this to a 'higher power' and we get creator, redeemer, sustainer. The really great part to the mystery of the trinity is Pentecost and how the love between the father and son gets 'breathed on' us! I really do love Bishop Sheen's description.
Oh my, I'm speechless, thanks much for explaining the unexplainable!
Wow! Never had it explained this way. God bless you.
The whole Trinity 101 course in 14 minutes. THANK YOU!
This is your best sermon yet, Bishop Barron. Also, congratulations on your appointment as Bishop of Winona-Rochester. May God bless your tenure to the spiritual enrichment of your diocese. Boy, they certainly won the lottery!
Bishop Barron is the only person who can speak with such clarity on The Holy Trinity…
Thank you dear Bishop….
Greetings from India
By far the best explanation of the Trinity. This can even be adapted for children. What a blessing this is, Bishop Barron. You were most inspired!
Thank you for everything you do for our Catholic faith.
I can’t express in words but you brought tears of joy listening to your debate with the young atheist! I’ve been on a mission to keep a personal relationship with the Lord and struggle with so many issues like many of us and I’ve had Catholic upbringing 8 yrs of parochial school, altar boy, church organist. Some close people I know have run from religious beliefs sad to say most catholic brought up friends and now we are all around the 70 years old mark ! I’ve never posted anything online as far as a comment and just wanted to let you to know I’ve watched many debates of all sorts and with all the so called authorities and you’ve touch me the most! I pray the rosary with you everyday on the hallow app! God blesses you and your faith is “ to die for” 😇
Thanks so much for that comment. Please keep praying for me.
I just love how Bishop Barron can take a highly complex subject and break it down for us so we can begin to get a feel for it.
God bless you bishop Barron, and your family & flock!
It is so good that I'm 7 or 8 h after your sermon so I can use it perfectly!
True inspiring ("in spiro") on Trinity Sunday here in Croatia!
Hvaljen Isus i Marija!
Laudetur Iesus et Maria!

Bishop Barron never disappoints! Truly the most clear and understandable explanation of the Holy Trinity ever! 🙏
I needed this sermon . I want to be with Jesus. I want to be one in His kingdom. Thank you Bishop.
I have never heard such a perfect explanation of the Holy Trinity, it opened my mind with a picture of the Trinity that I use to only understand with words. Thank You Bishop Barron.
I just didn't want this preaching to stop.i was being drawn in.. Wow!!!!
Brilliant! I am speechless beyond that word. Blessings to you Bishop Barron and to the whole world!
I have always wanted to learn more about the trinity, and the way, the bishop described it was so beautiful, thanks so much for this video
"THE FEAST OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY RENEWS OUR MISSION OF LIVING IN COMMUNION WITH GOD AND ALL PEOPLE ON THE MODEL OF THE DIVINE COMMUNION." *- POPE FRANCIS*
Lord let The Breath Of The Spirit Consume Us Oh Lord!
Merci Monseigneur Wow !!
vous avez trouver les mots pour expliquer ce que j'ai toujours resenti sans pouvoir l'exprimer.
Bien à vous Sophie
I have been brought up in the Christian religion, and as I grew older I struggled with understanding the Trinity. This sermon is, definitely, the clearest explanation I've heard so far. Thank you Bishop Barron...BTW...I'm Catholic, and I routinely listen to your Sunday sermons (and other videos). May God continue to speak through you.
You know, I always connected The Holy Trinity as the sun. How it gives light and warmth and the energy from the sun makes life thrive on earth. My interpretation from an early age. The Sun.
Happy Trinity Sunday Bishop Barron 🙏🏽🙂❤️😇
I’ve never heard the trinity explained in such a lucid and accessible way.
Beautiful, informative homily! Thank you, Bishop. Congratulations on your new job!
Thank you so much Bishop Barron for helping us undertand better the Holy Trinity so that we can love God more & more and also desire to share God's inner life as God desired it first!
that was BY FAR the best explanation/reflection on the trinity I have ever heard. Aquinas truly was a genius, and Bishop Barron is his successor.
Many thoughts were flowing into my mind as this homily progressed. For some reason I cannot explain, the immaculate conception of Mary made so much sense. She suddenly appeared to me as the perfect human image reflecting all at once the « in », the « from » and the « for » God so eminently that the words from her heart upon Elizabeth’s greeting inspired by God’s own Spirit were: « My spirit rejoices in God » . Is this not the most perfect trinitarian reflex from a human being who bathes in God’s will, speaks from Him and lives totally for Him? I am just blown away by this woman.
Levis Shalom
Perhaps the most enlightening sermon I have ever heard. Bishop Barron speaks in a way that most everyone can understand. God bless you Bishop Barron.
well communicated...thank you bishop Barron. The image of the Father in the Son and the breath of life , the Holy Spirit Himself as a community is communicating with us. Thank you... in Us there love is. Happy Trinity Sunday bishop Barron and the Word On Fire...God bless
The higher, the deeper, the more intense, the greater focus, the more loving, the purer the Trinity and it is One.
You are a gift from Our Lord Bishop Baron.God bless you big ✝✝✝time!
Thanks a lot Bishop Barron for your lovely sermon. GOD bless you. Stay safe ➕ ❤
I'm going to watch this video shortly. I want to congratulate you, Bishop Barron, on your new appointment as Bishop of Winona-Rochester. I hope and pray that they give you as much power and reach as possible. Bless you.
Welcome Bishop Barren

Thank you thank You Lord for through your servant Bishop Baron I now have a better understanding of You-FatherSon Holy Spirit
Clearly among the finest sermons by Bishop Barron. Deo Gratias!
When I make the sign of the cross from now on I will think of this sermon thankyou god bless
That has to be the most profoundly clear exegesis of the Holy Trinity I've ever heard. Please God I'll remember the jist of it when I'm asked about the subject. God bless you.
Thank you Bishop Barron. As always you have gone beyond my expectations. May our Lord forever increase you to the glory of His Name by the power of the Holy Spirit through Christ our Lord amen.
Happy Trinity Sunday everyone here
Incredible. Thank-you, from Melbourne Australia 🦘
Tremendous, Bishop Barron, thank you.
I think Bishop Barron just blew my mind, and several times, all at once.
I can't believe God gives us instruments like him, Bishop Barron, to continue to convince us of His tremendous live for us.
God Bless Bishop Barron forevaaa! May the Holy Spirit continue to lighten this man and us like this ❤️
@Whatsapp①⑤④①⑥⑤⑥⓪④②④ Hola dearest Bishop Barron. Tha ks for your message. I would love to receive anything you may want to share. Thanks for your kindness. Sandra, from Mexico City. 🤍🙌🏽
Wow, wish my parish priest would give such homilies. Bishop Baron is the best.
Thank you, Bishop Barron, for having faith we might comprehend. It was fascinating and rewarding to hear Aquinas' explanation explained so well!! Deo Gratias!!
Well I had to watch this a few times, as I am not an intellectual! But this is a wonderful way of helping me to understand this beautiful mystery of the Holy Trinity. In truth, I have never worried about these sacred mysteries--whether I had the capacity to understand--I know that God can and does do everything in the most wonderful way, and I trust and accept! God bless you so richly Bishop Barron! Always!
Yes, yes, yes, "chew on...", that is what I come back for. And this particular topic is of course endless in that regard. Thank you!
Thank you, Bishop Barron! I always learn so much from your homilies. God bless you!
Praise God for his mercy and grace. Thank you for this Bishop.
I needed to hear it.
Congratulations on your appointment as the Bishop of Winona-Rochester!

Awesome explanation Bishop!! It did really moved me to tears. God bless you and your ministry always
Thank you Your Grace for a very interesting presentation of the Holy Trinity.Blessed Trinity Sunday .
So glad you chose to commit an act of theology!!!!!!!! I think you always offer a Sunday Sermon with great content. This one is also one of those sermons. I admire your spiritual courage! It sort of goes along with the image you present to us of who your are in this world. "For who can know the mind of God..." - But we can get a glimpse of it. I think you presented a glimpse which is truly one to chew on with great relish and is satisfying to our great hunger for our God who is LOVE. I thank God on every remembrance of you.
I always appreciate your homilies, think more clearly about spiritual things and am able to apply something to my life right away. Thank you so much!
God bless you always Bishop Barron 🕊️🙏❤️
This was absolutely beautiful and so easy to understand. I love listening to Bishop Baron… if I close my eyes I feel his presence as I do the Holy Spirit‘s right here in the same room with me . always increases my faith and my great love for Jesus As I listen do you Bishop each day. Thank you for sharing your great knowledge with all of us..

Truly wonderful. Thank you Bishop Barron and WOF!
Wow, A perfect, threefold explanation. ☘️
Thank you Bishop Barron
Chew on? This is an inexhaustible feast that surely came from the Holy Trinity finding the right channel for communication. The very use of you, Bishop Barron, is a blessing to you and to all who hear you. My head is spinning between the joy of this communication and the absorbing of it. And it illuminates the not entirely satisfying - to my mind - concluding passage of Dante's Paradiso, "Ne la profonda e chiara sussistenza" to "da un fulgore in che sua voglia venne". Long have I sought to know Thee, O most Holy Trinity, is the first line of what may become a verse, perhaps...
Laurence Binyon's translation came close, using - I now know - Aquinas and Augustine, with possible acquaintance with Henry Constable's poem, " Great God, within whose simple essence". But neither gave me as clear an understanding as you, good Bishop, have done.
thank you for giving a clear description in your experience.
