Listen to the Voice of God! - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лис 2024
- Friends, though the book of Jonah is only a few pages long, there is something inexhaustible about it. It’s a biblical commonplace that God speaks to certain people and gives them missions, as he does with Jonah in our first reading. But God also speaks to us all the time, precisely in the voice of our conscience. Do you listen to the voice of God or not? Do you listen to what your conscience is telling you or not? If you do, you become a vehicle of grace for yourself and for all those around you. If you don’t, chaos ensues.

Thank you Bishop Barron. This week I went to confession for the first time in 20 years and today I received the Eucharist. It is your sermons and other talks that brought me back home to the Catholic Church.
Welcome home!
We're so blessed, thank you for sharing yours ❤
Praise Jesus! Welcome Home!❤❤❤❤❤
Welcome back. God bless you
Welcome back home! I know your joy, your relief because that was me 20 years ago . After drifting away from my faith when I went to the local priest "to talk" and learned all I needed was to do that, to confess and be absolved! I felt the weight of the world lifted from me in that moment. I know you must have felt that too. Now I am restored and remain so. God bless you .
I needed to hear this it gives me hope because it means Jesus is coming soon. Pray for me I seem to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders as a single mom, I’m battling lupus and heart disease. I often face challenges that can seem insurmountable especially with raising two children with special needs. I’m trying to balance everything but Lord I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children and I feel so alone. At times I want to give up. But I keep faith because I know God will provide.❤
I pray God blesses you with all you need.
Praying for you, God always there to carry our cross Don’t be afraid. God bless you
I pray for you too. Please start each day with meditative reading of the gospel and with devotional music. Build a little group of friends maybe lone mothers like you to pray together. The rosary, maybe, once a week. ❤ ❤❤ Blessings on your stupendous calling as a mother.
🙏
God will make a way brother. Trust in him
"Jesus - the center of your life in every way".. thank you bishop for this message..
Thank you Bishop Barron, I so appreciate your teaching always beneficial. And thank you for Word on Fire 🔥 Ministry
The kindergarten teacher at my daughter's Catholic school is about 8 months pregnant. My eldest daughter told me how she looks like she is extremely tired.
I was blessed not to have to work during my 3 pregnancies in 4 years' time, yet I know how hard it is to carry a child in the third trimester. It can be agony.
Yesterday, in spite of my own financial benefit of working (I substitute teach.), I offered to help her in the classroom for her remaining time there. She said she wants to work up until the week she gives birth! God bless her. She's a better woman than I because I could never have done that.
I knew the second my daughter told me about her condition that I needed to pay forward and offered my assistance. Later that day, she told my daughter, "My prayers have been answered. "
God bless her. 😇 All she needs is a little help in the humbling act of growing a child. My conscience was right. Help this woman as you wish someone would've helped you. ❤
In case you read these comments…. Thank you for speaking life and wisdom from a good heart. I declare you are AMERICAS Bishop.
🙏💟✝️
I am Jonah in the belly of the whale today…questioning myself…in chaos…alone and depressed…and you said…the voices of your family don’t matter in the end…the voice of God is all that matters…thank you Bishop….for listening to HIS VOICE…you are a good shepherd….!!! Put on the Mind of Christ…even Nana’s can grow and begin again…❤
I also struggled with the worlds ways, my Christian consul, and my family consul battling my own conscious thank you nana and thank you Bishop
Yes indeed Nana!! I read a devotion to mercy each day from the Magnificat Year of Mercy Companion, written to help Catholics celebrate the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy from December, 2015 to November, 2016. This powerful prayer says the following, which is certainly a representation of God's grace to us each day; From Pope Francis;
"God's mercy is great, forgiving us by caressing us. The steadfast love of God never ceases; his mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning."
Yes Nana and all, WE GET TO START AGAIN WITH THE LORD EACH DAY! What a gift!
I'm an old school Catholic, and this is probably the best sermon I have ever heard in my entire life, all Catholic Bishops should take note this is how it's done peace be with you Bishop Barron.
My favorite sermon of bishop barrons is the one from sep 10, 2023. You should check that one out.
I agree!!!! His mastery at explaining these powerful and mysterious stories and teachings is incredible. They say, "Those who know, do. But those who understand, teach." (Aristotle) Bishop Barron is the Roman Catholic Church's Aristotle!
I agree 👍
Bishop Baron is the voice of God
That makes Baron God?
Fantastic sermon - and very timely. Praying for your health Bishop Barron, so that you may continue to grace our life with your insights into Jesus 🙏
Amen thank you father
Lord, help me hear Your voice.
Help me to do Thy will.
Amen.
❤❤❤
Glory to God Almighty🙏 Praise the Lord Jesus 🙏Thank u Jesus for all the graces u offered us🙏 Thank u Bishop for your prayers n God bless u 🙏❤
Yep. This is 100% true. Never ignore that “little” voice inside of you. It isn’t so little. It is probably Him.
What if that little voice was just your own all along?
Suppose this voice tells you to hurt others? Do you still follow it?
@@2l84me8 The answer is “no”. At that point you should get some help.
Speaking from experience, the last two years have been me following my conscience over something that gave me tremendous anxiety. But now, after months of prayer, I see firsthand God's daily mercies. I'm anxious from time to time, but not like before because I know I've done the right thing, and I know that God is with me.
God bless everyone listening to these words. Let’s try harder to be the light in the world.
Insightful and real
Thank you bishop, I am watching your videos and reading the bible for a year now, I am not christian by birth nor baptised but I love Jesus and we need this message, Jesus’ message is the only one that calms my heart in these recent times…My life is difficult, I almost want to give up. But then I surround myself with God’s word, and find courage to keep going.
Wow, I felt overwhelming darkness laat year and I too was really hungry for peace. The love of Jesus and the beauty of God is so necessary in darkness.
Don't give up. Keep seeking until you've found what your soul was made for.
I prayed to God begging Him to show me Himself when I didn't know if it was true. I kept praying this, and He did. He is patient and loving and gentle with those who are injured and in need of His help.
He cares for you. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. God bless you!
If you Can please find a catholic priest in your area, he Will give you some guidance how to follow Jesus without pushing you or with commitment. Its the sure Way, every baby need Help in taking that first step. Ask God to give you courage, faith & hope. Pray often the Lord prayer ( Our Father in Heaven ) just google it. Its powerful
I am from Ireland, Bishop I listen to you every night. You are wonderful. God Bless You.
Glad to see someone from Ireland I am from County Wexford
Same here.
Hello Irishmen!
Are you guys familiar with fr.Thady Doyle's videos here?
Hi Ireland people.
I haven't heard of him@@therealong
I needed to hear this today. Thank you, Bishop Barron, for listening to the voice of God in you. And I thank God for you. May our Lord's blessings pour out on everyone. Amen.
Listening to Bishop Barron makes me want to become like him!
Jesus ❤
It all comes down to; “Do you listen to the voice of God?” Wisdom and Truth. Thank you Bishop Barron. 🙏❤️🔥♾️👣
Inexhaustible.. Thank you Bishop Barron for your wisdom, "Conscience is the premodal representative of God in you."
Most Brilliant, Absolutely Spirit-Filled Teaching I Ever HEARD On Jonah!!! My favourite statement that he made was, "Make everything in your life relate to HIM!"
And then, REPENT and 'BELIEVE' in The Gospel!
Bishop Barron!!!...this is what I need to hear Everyday. My son that is 4 years old loves everyone of your sermons and falls asleep to you at night. Thank you so much. You bring so much peace to our home.
Thank you Bishop Barron Lovely sermon. May GOD bless and protect you always. 🙌❤🌹
We need to forward this to our politicians who identify as Catholic
Exactly, like Joe Nero, who 50% of Catholics voted for!! And hie Education Secretary who says boys should be able to compete on girls sports team. @@jeffpatrick2537
Really like this one. Thank you!
Truly, truly, wisdom comes hand in hand with holiness.
Praise God for holy priests!
People of Christ need preachers like Bishop Barron in order to interpret the wisdom of the bibical messages.
Many in our world do not know or seek Christ however he will eventually find them so why not seek him.out now and receive graces as you journey to the end of this life.
Amazing sermon
Such incredible grace Bishop Barron shows us. I am simply astounded.
Beautifully stated.
Think this is my new favorite sermon. Your words were spoken with such conviction and power that it brought me to tears. I have been praying for help with a particular stronghold in my life. Your words are a direct answer to these prayers for me today. I have to stop stalling. I have a nicotine addiction and its been weighing on my conscious for a long time now but especially these past few weeks. It's time for me to listen and obey the voice of God. I do not have to do it alone for I have God who gives me strength. It will not be easy at all but isn't that the point of this sermon. Thank you Bishop Barron. We love you!!
Thank you, Bishop Barron for this vital message concerning the gift of a sanctified conscience
🙏✝️💒
The ability and mastery of Bishop Barron explaining these lessons is amazing. He so very articulate yet appropriate for the laymen of the world, all of us. Famous quote: Those who know, do. But those who understand, teach. (Aristotle) Bishop Barron is the Roman Catholic Church's Aristotle!
Thank you father Barron for posting videos. Learning a lot and it’s nice to listen great sermons at your finger tips. Makes me think. Thank you
Thank you Bishop Robert Baron 🙏. I look forward to your sermons from South Africa. God bless you. 🙏
Thank you, Bishop Barron and the Word on Fire crew for this wonderful homily!
And bless you too ❤🙏🏽
Bishop Barron should be appointed to be a Cardinal. Bishop Baron would be a wonderful Pope, sharing the Truth & Love of God!
@MH-jq9dm
You should rather strain and TRY to understand what Bishop Barron is saying, and at the same time understanding what Pope Francis has been saying for almost 11 years now! Then we can talk also about the size and color of the shoes.
I learned of Bishop Barron in a church series he does. It is called "Catholicism ". Mind changing.
@CatholicDefender-bp7my
"The Lord works in mysterious ways", but this particular phrase is not found in the Bible either. 😇
God love you ❤
You are the shepherd we need right now Bishop Barron ☮️✝️🌎
thank you Bishop for this amazing homily! Deutronomy 18 , amen🙏🏻
God bless you Bishop Barron, and thank you for your helping us to get closer to God🙏
Once again, Bishop Barron succinctly illuminates the wisdomin todays mass readings. It sounds so simple, " listen to your conscience." The result will be grace and blessings, not listening trouble and chaos. I can reflect back on my life and affirm this. Every time I did not heed my conscience I had big trouble. It took me so many years to heed my "gut" as I called it.
"Have the same mind in you that was in Christ Jesus. Then, you'll become a bearer of grace to the world, in the manner in which God wants you to be that bearer." *- Bishop Robert Barron*
"I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." -- Jesus in John 13.
Bishop Barron delivers a wonderful insight into how to deal with our modern day chaos. Wonderful. BB brings his incredible understanding and knowledge of the Bible with all the history and culture that enlivens it. He does this so well. My prayer is that the churches of the world go that one step further and help to create ACTUAL COMMUNITY to the congregations so that our children and ourselves are able to find friends to do so many things, whether it be play groups for our kids or a sewing circle or a chess club or a dance hop for young people to meet other young people of faith, or a Bible study... etc... PLEASE, this is how the church can win back the young of the world and the families of the world, and give comfort to the lonely of the world.
Thank you again Bishop for your weekly inspiring homelies.
The modern western world think it does not need God. Precisely what Satan is looking for.
If we all listened more to the voice of our conscience and if we were honestly looking for ways to live inner conversions, wouldn't the world somehow be a preconfuguration of paradise might look like ?
Praying daily (including the rosary),fasting,reading the Bible, exercising the sacraments (mass/confession),listening to God's will and obeying God's laws,...all these spiritual antidotes require many personal efforts but are very efficient ways to reach holiness and happiness.
Let us thank God for being Catholic, while praying for all men of good will so that they might discover someday the beauty of our great faith and doctrine
Thank you for being courageous
Thank you, Bishop Barron! You bring clarity and understanding through your sermons.
May God bless you!🙏🙏
Thank you, Bishop Barron!
Praying to God he is always beside you.
12:55 12:55 Amen ❣️ ✝️ 🙏
The Noah lesson ...wow, the kingdom of God, listening.
In love, we need to forward this to our politicians, especially those who identify as being Catholic
How much love do you have for Joe Nero? And the 50% of Catholics who voted, and will again, for him!!!!
@@SS-zg6of it's probably the most difficult challenge of my entire life to love my enemies and pray for those who persecute us as scripture says no greater challenge for me that's for sure
@@jeffpatrick2537 I am also guilty of this sin. With the events of Oct 7, I started looking into Islam, wondering what possible justification these extremists could conjure that would excuse a military slaughter of innocent civilians. There seems no greater enemy than those who believe God is okay with murder of ANY people.
I have gotten very angry in recent months and said some things online which work counter to peace and I have had great difficulty loving those who say the Bible is corrupt and that Christians and Jews are to be fought against and killed. I am getting angry again simply trying to write a message of LOVE.
Because the truth is that most Muslims who have ever existed on this planet are good people who have lived and loved and tried to be a righteous person in their own way. Most Muslims have never murdered and have managed to live peacefully for thousand of years, so I DO love them and I try to focus on the good and best in those who consider me an enemy.
The first thing we all need to do is to examine our own consciences, not look for whom else needs to hear this message. If we all turn to God individually, Grace will pour out on the world.
@stooch66 well said it's just that seeing those in high office and knowing how their sinful Behavior negatively affects thousands if not millions of people, it's hard to deal with..
Bishop Barron is in love with Our Lord. He has a personal intimate relationship with God. It is quite evident in his homilies and talks.
.
My faith in Christ awakens each time i listen to your sermons, Thank you and God bless you too!
Okay, how do I reach out?
Thank you, Bishop Barron, for your inspiring homily. God bless. From Ireland.
Thank you , Bishop Barron, for making this Truth so clear and believable!
May God keep strengthening you!!
I admire how you link up things Sir
Let me like the video before watching.
Thank You Bishop Barron. I'm listening from Bangalore India.
God bless you for teaching us !
one of the most profound sermons ever
The Jonah message was for me. I was clearly asked by Christ to do two things while in Eucharistic adoration. I did one but have not done the other. Both are Evangelical actions and must be completed so our church can grow. Thank you for this powerful message Bishop Barron!
A lot of people say they follow their conscience, but is their conscience rooted in the word of God? That's where we get into trouble. Thank you, Bishop Barron! ❤
Thank you Bishop, every Saturday from South Africa
Me too, in South Africa. I usually watch Bishop Baron's homilies on Saturday nights too.
I am 70 now so I can go back a long time, but obviously I can't remember where everything comes from, but I do remember one time the Catholic saying you must listen to the church not your conscience because your conscience may be the devil in disguise. Now, make your mind up, is it one or the other, I have to say I don't believe in the Catholic Church telling me how to llive my life, but I do believe in my conscience very much so.
Precious blood of Jesus, wash away my sins. Save me from the watery chaos. God bless you, Bishop Barron.
The best interpretation of Jonah I have ever heard !
Absolutely superb teaching! Thank you Bishop Barron. I praise and worship Almighty God. The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. Amen
Thank you, dear Bishop for the sermon. I'm from Brazil, and I'm currently learning English, and to be honest, your reflexions about the word of God it's being so helpful. Peace be with you.
Thanks be to God for blessing us with this anointed Shepherd !
Thank you, Pastor. GREAT spiritual leadership in a SEA of Despair. As a Lutheran Catholic I stand with you. Your message clearly demonstrates the HOPE of the GOSPEL and your instruction is very much NECESSARY because a lot of people do not know these GREAT TRUTHS. Amen.
I’m curious: what exactly is a “Lutheran Catholic”.?
Thank you Bishop Barron. You always inspire us in life.
This message is meant for me. Thanks Bishop Barron
Wow! That was powerful. I love how you explained the word "repent" and its Greek roots, 'beyond mind.' Get out of your own mind and into the mind of God. Listen for His voice until it becomes your own conscience voice. Beautiful! So well explained, Bishop Barron (once again)!❤
Good evening Bishop Baron. Thank you for sharing. God bless
Beautiful sermon Bishop 🙏
Thank you. I am Catholic and my community fasts every year 3 days at this time of the year following Jona and the ancient fasting asking for repentance 🙏
"Make everything in your life relate to him."
Thank you Bishop Barron for this powerful reminder
Thank you for being there, Bishop Barron. Thank you for Grace
Erich Fromm equated the conscience with God's voice and commented that God's voice is "the voice that recalls us to ourselves when we're in danger of losing ourselves." I've always loved that.
Thank you Bishop, I'm following you from Tanzania 🇹🇿 , I'm always happy with your sermons... God bless you!
Thank you Bishop,
I listened to it a second time. I always thought the voice in my head that says I have a bigger purpose coming for me and the Lord is preparing me, was the voice of pride. In spite of priests repeating it to me without me telling them I have these same taughts. I have been ignoring it for to long, guess it is time to say yes, because the priest reminded me again this week.
It scares me!!
Thanks Bishop. I fear that the noise of the world is so loud it deafens me and prevents me from listening to the voice of the Lord . I have no faith that the Lord speaks to me and worry for my uselessness .
Blessed be God by your apostleship, Bishop Barron! Sending my prayers to you!
Dear Bishop Barron, I write this from the heart and following my own conscience. You have been deeply influential in my catholic faith over the past 12 years. I was particularly put on solid ground by episode 6 of your Catholicism series, especially when you spoke about the Papacy, following St. John Henry Newman and your baseball analogy, about how the Church needs a living voice of authority to continue the life of the Church otherwise it would become into debates and discussions. I hope and pray that these last two sermons on which you spoke about following our conscience and even more so in this sermon in which you kind of gave the impression of putting the conscience above the Pope as Christ's vicar, are not an indirect cheer you are giving to the anti-Pope Francis crowd following the release of Fiducia Supplicans. More to it, it concerns me that you speak about following conscience but not about the importance of forming the conscience according to the Church's magisterium, a move that only progressive dissenting catholics used to do. I hope and pray my suspicions are wrong and it may be just paranoid misjudgement on my behalf.
Carlos, what are you saying? I've skimmed better comments around from you.
I've followed that narrative long enough to assure you that you are wrong.
Bsp. Barron doesn't engage in "social media gossiping", and he doesn't answer anymore to comments in years. The people you alluded to are reprimanded by very few of us here, as far as I know, and it's also a waste of time to engage at length with.
Besides, this has become a very unlucky platform to comment in.
What other channels are you following here?
amen the word of Jesus is fire!
This is good
Thank you Almighty God Father Lord Jesus !!
Very to the point. Beautifully expressed clear and simple.
God Bless
thank you for your inspiring message every week. it is the nourishment for my life every week. from MCau that.k you.
Bishop Barron I saw you in my dreams last night I was so joyful God bless you
Thank you Bishop Barron. God bless you always 🙏
Amen Bishop Robert Barron sorry I been listening to Divine UK priest from there they are very good on preaching about the Bible specially Fr. Joseph Edattu I don’t know if you know about them but you Bishop are the closest to the pope I don’t understand the pope but I anderstand you more thank you for your time on helping us to know more about our Lord Jesus Christ and our Mother Mary of Guadalupe in Jesus name amen ⛪️😇🙏
God bless you for being like the voice of God to us. God said He would not leave us orphans and sends His Holy Spirit in our thoughts and prayers to do acts of loving Him and each other. Thank you for doing God's will in your life.
"Spiritual beauty does not fade but lasts forever" Blessed Carlo Acustis
Thank you, thank you. Wonderful reflections, Bishop.
I choose Christ in everything that I do. May His love reign forever through the hearts of us all. 🙏🏻
You have such a gift when it comes to helping me understand scripture and how to walk towards sainthood. Thank you for sharing your gift. God bless you Bishop, I thank you Bishop and I love you Bishop.
Amen. 🙏🏿
