Focus on the One Thing Necessary - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- Friends, the Gospel for this Sunday is the wonderful story of Martha and Mary. But the Church sets this up in a really interesting way by giving us a first reading from Genesis 18-the mysterious story of Abraham being visited by three guests. The two stories together show us that the problem is not hospitality, nor being active as opposed to contemplative; rather, the problem is being focused on many things instead of the one thing necessary, in which everything else tends to fall into the right place.

Thank you Bishop Baron for allowing God to use you. You are a "good & faithful" servant.
Thank you Father. We are truly in need to remind ourselves..in all things...God alone..much more so in these trying times. God bless
We’ll miss you here in CA Bishop Barron, God bless you and keep you safe always
Thank you Bishop Barron for a deeply touching homily. May God bless you.
POPE BENEDICT XVI: “God wants your friendship. And once you enter into friendship with God, everything in your life begins to change. As you come to know him better, you will find you want to reflect something of his infinite goodness in your own life. You become attracted to the practice of virtue. You begin to see greed and selfishness and all the other sins for what they really are, destructive and dangerous tendencies that cause deep suffering and do greater damage, and you want to avoid falling into that trap yourselves. You begin to feel compassion for people in difficulties and you are eager to do something to help them. You want to come to the aid of the poor and the hungry, you want to comfort the sorrowful, you want to be kind and generous. And once these things begin to matter to you, you are well on the way to becoming saints.”
God Bless You Bishop Barron
Bishop, you have a fantastic way of explaining scripture. As a life-long Catholic, I'm familiar with this story but your explanation brings such meaning! Thank you for your ministry. God bless you.
Thank God for you Bishop , for always say and preaching on just the right sermon that seems to be speaking to me personally!!! Don’t know how you do it. But Thank you and may GOD BLESS YOU always 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I can see a difference when I am not focused on the Lord. I do get distressed. Now I need to practice personal time with Him on a daily basis.
Thank you, Bishop Barron. Very timely message.
I love the first thing in the morning. Maybe not a Holy Hour. But at least a Holy Few Minutes at the beginning of the day. I have done that piecemeal. I will do it now regularly. The antidote to scattering. Thank you, dear Bishop Barron!
I am not Catholic, but since discovering Bishop Barron's videos on UA-cam, I've come to love his homilies. This one I especially needed to hear today, and have listened to it 3 times already! And, I will be listening to it again today. God pour out His blessings upon you, Bishop Barron! I will continue to listen and learn.
Hope you’ll eventually discover that Catholicism is the true religion ✝️
God bless. ❤
That’s the way it is with Bishop Barron. I, too, listened to this particular talk 3x. I am 60+ years old and had never heard it explained in such a broad yet specific way. (Chestertonian Paradox there?)
Oh, and all are welcome, not just Catholics. 😉
God bless you Bishop! I needed to hear this.
I am the poster child for Martha in this story. Focused on the trivial and not the essential. Keep your eyes on the Lord, You too will walk on water and everything else will fall into place.
I thank you Lord and Bishop Baron.what a blessing to hear your homily which i almost thirst everyday especially in foriegn country with foreign language.
My name is Martha... and this parable is the story if my life. Everyday I try to remind myself not to be like Martha. I often wonder... if not Martha then who? Someone needs to be the host. Maybe Martha was meant to be the host... maybe it's OK to fill the role of host, but not complain or worry... just hurry and join Mary? Jesus... please have Mercy on all Marthas.🌻
😂😂!!
Hi Martha 👋
In John 11:27, it was Martha who, in answer to Jesus said: “ Yes, Lord I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world.” So, Martha’s faith is strong. Read verses 32,33, Jesus became “perturbed and deeply troubled” with Mary and her weeping friends. So, be the Martha God created you to be.
You are doing great, Martha 👌👍👍 God bless you 🙂🙏
Matthas are also necessary, else hunger also is a teacher
I am torn from my prayers by many concerns involuntarily. I return to my prayers forcefully only to be assaulted by the devil with temptations and impure thoughts. I again return to my prayers rejecting the invitation to entertain these thoughts that drive me away from what I am doing. This happens often but not always. I know that I must ask the assistance of Mother Mary or St. Joseph sometimes which is a sure way to escape the attack. I hope and pray that I can persevere in following the righteous path to Jesus whenever this occurs. Let me never forget that I cannot overcome without supernatural help from above.
When you pray my brother in Christ, pray with a soft audible voice in the private of your room.
Also, the Satan has been dealt with at the cross of Jesus. Col 2:15 After the cross the devil is our own thoughts.
The only assistance you need, is of the Helper Jesus promised will come to us, after he was ascended into heaven (a higher realm; nót a geographic place). You cannot pray to a human.. 'Mother Mary/St Joseph', as this are unBiblical. Jesus also had to die for their sins. John 3:16,17
The Help is inside of you, as all distance has been cancelled at the cross of Jesus. Col 1:26-27 We have been made óne with Him! (It's only the carnal mind that still pictures distance).
*_God is not one thing among many.... but the sheer act of being itself..._* When we put God in His rightful place (First, Supreme) then everything in life tends to fall in place, we find harmony!.
Like the summary: Focus on God and everything else will fall into place. Thank you Jesus!
Bravo Bishop Barron, bravo indeed. Reflecting our Lord Jesus Christ to the world🙏
Fr Robert Bishop Barron a Living Saint we love you
What a beautiful explanation of the readings on this Sunday. I always learn something new. Thank you Bishop Barren. Please pray for me and my family. You are on my prayer list. Thank you and God Bless.
When you put Jesus Christ first, all other things fall in their right place. Thanks for sharing such a powerful massage bishop.
I been looking for a honest holy man I can trust in for a long time. I thank you.
Good luck in MN. Sorry for the cold, but you always bring warmth! Blessings!
Thank you, Bishop Barron. Awesome revelation about the Holy Trinity. I did not know that.
Thank you dear Bishop Barron. God bless you.
Thanks father. I really love your talks your explanations, your simple answers to this complicated world.. gracias. !!
Muchas gracias, Obispo Barron por sus sabias palabras. Dios lo bendiga. 🙏
Oh boy I needed to hear this message. Speaking right to me. Thank you Bishop Barron.
Preach it Bishop Barron!!!
Belíssima Homilia!
I like the line about pray, and then do whatever you want, because it's clear that when we love God, we will truly do as He desires.
You said it right. When we love someone we focus our entire energy on that person. When we fall in love with God, we can't stop listening to him,, hearing him,, seeing him, talking to him, laughing with him, that's an adventure like no other.
Peace be with you Bishop Baron
Another great sermon by our Beloved Bishop. He never disappoints.
Lord help me and be the center of my life
Thank you dear Bishop for a great sermon.
God bless you abundantly and keep you safe
God bless 🙏
This is the real gospel .I also am not a Catholic, but Bishop Robert's words resonate within me. We are in the same place. Praise God.
Bishop Barron you are a gift to us. God Bless you and continue to inspire and protect you✝️✝️
So good!
good thank you
GOD is love, Amen💗
This was such a good reminder to not look at all the things that trouble us and what “we are” going to do about it… rather keep our focus on God and what He is going to do about and through our troubles! Great sermon!! Thank you Bishop Barron!
Wow I am so impressed by your homily. What a very very deep message...Thank you Bishop Barron. The church today needs many more preacher like you. God bless you abundantly.
Faith in JESUS alone for salvation is the only
Necessity.
I am refreshed by the clarity of One Thing Necessary. My burden is lighter. The Holy Spirit fills me with love, joy, hope for the day ahead of me. I cannot live without you Jesus. ❤ 🌼
He is a living saint
Can’t say or think of any better apologist alive …. I am not catholic but love BB and his messages. He is truly gifted.
In Brazil there is Padre Paulo Ricardo. He speaks portuguese, no spanish. He and Bishop Barron are excelents
I agree✝️
Maybe you should join us in the holy church. You are welcomed!
@@karenreece3603, I second this suggestion! Please, come join us in faith ❤
@@karenreece3603 we áre the holy church, as Christ is living in and thru us! Col 1:26-27
Thank you Bishop Barron for these words of wisdom! Maybe if we all focused on the wants of God our Father this world would be a better place for all mankind! God bless you and your wonderful work!
Hold it up Bishop Barron we got your back .
Thank you
Thank you Bishop Barron !! You always seem to say what I need to hear you say ! God Bless You
Thanks God for the wisdom given to us by You
Beautiful! Especially liked your mention of the double "Martha, Martha," that one speaks as to a friend. As concerns your mention of "Diablo" or Scatterer, it reminds me of Jesus saying to Peter "Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your Faith fail not"
Please Bishop Barron please pray for my healing for my children, my grandchildren, my family, friends and me from all addictions, mental illnesses, physical pain and physical illnesses, emotional struggles, financial problems, anxiety, depression and all cancers. Amen. God bless you.
Have just prayed for you, Ada. God bless you and your family.
May the Lord grant you every healing grace through His outpouring of Divine Love and Divine Mercy. We ask in the mighty name of Jesus Christ 🙏
God loves you Ada, praying for you
Prayers for you Ada.
In these times, the Holy Rosary is powerful. I've seen it work! There is no one better to pray for you than Our Lady.
Christ has given His Holy Mother eminence at present.
However a key is to attend Confession with a traditional Catholic Priest, be contrite, have sins forgiven.
As you know, sin separates one from God.
I'm a "Martha" and thank GOD my only Sister is a Mary💞🙏
Dear Bishop Barron, This is an awesome sermon! It will help me so much, as I am sure many others! God bless you!
God bless them you ijjhhhh
Unum Necessarium! Everyone who has found it, can have a full appreciation of what you are saying in this sermon, Bishop Barron! This was beautiful.
Rosary
Thank you for your wonderful service!
Put God first and everything falls into place. Simple, yet Powerful! Thank you Bishop🙏🏽
Thank you, Lord, from Whom all good things come, and thank you Bishop Barron, how much I needed to hear these words tonight...lord, how much I need you, don’t ever let me forget You.❤❤❤
Thank you, as always, Bishop Barron for your wonderful and helpful homily. 🙏🏻
"Unum necessarium". listening the 3rd time.. i was a full time Martha till 19 July 2019 .. realised Unum necessarium.... Now I am trying to play the double role of both Mary and Martha... I Trust you Jesus.
Thank you Bishop Baron 😌
Thank you for this wonderful sermon. God bless you Bishop and help you with your move and anything else that is pressing on you. You help so many.
Thank you for this sermon, Bishop. God bless this work. 🙏
AMEN.
Great sermon
You have cut to the chase on the fine point made by our Lord Jesus Christ, and shown this truth in it's simplicity and spiritual depth, Bishop Barron. Brilliant. Thank yo,u, and above all, let us thank God for the revelation, given to you, and may we all be blessed in understanding the Gospel, thus.
Fraudulent account
@@Barbaramamato , do enlighten us all.
There are several replies with a message saying I have something for you from an account pretending to be Bishop Robert Barron.
Bishop Barron is the greatest orator of our time. I love how he teaches.
Orator. Perfect! He really is.
Lord, help me to put everything in its proper place.. unum necessarium
Thank you for clarifying to me. God bless you
Lord, we have our own cross from thy, Thank you Lord❤🙏
Amen. God comes first always and forever.
*Another amazing homily Rev. Bishop*. 🙏🙏. * God bless you with good health and cheerful heart always.
*The Holy Gour before Eucharist/Tabernacle is the " UNUM NECESSASARIUM" for all Christians*
I am right there with Bishop Barron. Thank you always. God bless us all in Jesus Christ name 🙏
Thank you lord for always Their especially in aur family Amen.
Well interpreted and expounded in a way that makes perfect sense by amalgamating the Abraham narrative with the Jesus experience. The old complements the new and allows the viewer to grasp the core message under the guise of ordinary events being reenacted in domestic person to person exchanges. The focus on the infinite brings the attention away from our finite and limiting self and onto somebody that is total fulfilment himself. Prioritising God will always result in God prioritising us, whereas the reverse attitude leads to confusion and entanglement.
Listening to your sermons always gives me goosebumbs. You're such a gift of God, Bishop Barron ❤
And like St. Theresa of Avila said: "When you put God in FIRST place, everything sets in the RIGHT place."
In Croatian it's a word game [first - "prvo"; right - "pravo"]
Great homily!
God bless!
I never heard that “Prvo pravo”. Amateur Croat that I am!

“Put first things first and you get first and second things. Put second things first, and get neither first nor second things” - C.S. Lewis.
Beautiful reflection, Bishop!
God bless
I must take up the practice of the Holy Hour
Good morning from Sydney , Bishop Barron. What a beautiful sermon. Thank you so much for your perfect enlightenment on “ THE ONE NECESSARY “. God bless you. Syalom
I am always impressed by how your sermons speak directly to what I am going through. I remain ever increasingly grateful for your wisdom and teaching. You are a blessing.
Serendipitously, this was recommended again for me on UA-cam. It is, again, exactly on point for what I am feeling today. Thank you for your ministry.
Deceptively simple challenge, thankful a priest taught me the Jesus prayer, when I feel scattered, it refocuses me anywhere anytime.
My dear Bishop Barro
n again you put the perspective on the one who matters, our Lord.
During your transition, Praying for you Bishop Barron. God Bless you, Abundantly 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It is the seeking FIRST the Kingdom of God and His righteousness - period.
Thank you, Bishop Barron! ❤
That's just it. This fits me perfectly. Until I understood the necessity of being like Mary balancing and sustaining Martha, then my life refocused priorities and I gained a peace beyond understanding. It made me bolder in proclaiming the truth about Christ to others.
Thank you Bishop Barron. Your life is a gift from above.
It ain't necessarily so..what you're liable to read in the Bible...?!
@@thomasweber9384
It's one thing when eyes that can see reads text and understand something based on the capability of an individual, even if a believer in Jesus. It's quite a different happening when the Holy Spirit ENLIGHTENS over the same text. I would think that has happened here through Bishop Barron.
Incidentally there are several commenters who have noted the 'phenomenon;' I do hope and pray that all Christians may be open to receiving the Spirit's light and help either by themselves or by their being part of the Body of Christ☆
@@thomasweber9384, without prayer perception and ways of being become stagnant. That was something I had to learn. Wishful thinking ain't enough.
Im starting my mornings focused on the unum necessarium. It makes my day feel better... even if some days are more worrisome or difficult. God bless you.❤
Super graceful message 👍👍🙏🙏👏
Lovely. Thank you God! You love me!
Thank you, your Grace. Greetings and peace from Singapore. 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬 I never fail to tune into your weekly sermon and marvel at the insights you give. God bless you!
GOD PUT ALL THINGS IN OUR DAILY LIFE IN IT'S PROPER PERSPECTIVE. JUST SURRENDER YOUR DAILY GOTS TO DO THIS & THAT AND THY WILL BE DONE & YOUR DAILY BURDENS WILL BE LIGHTER!!
Martha, I believe there is something metaphysical in this story. If you focus on God in life, someone else like Joan will focus on the little things
When my soul is focused on God, the rest comes. I couldn't have fallen in love and gotten engaged without focus on my Creator. Because of Him, I worry less. I still DO worry. I just worry less. Thank you for this homily, today.
There's a lot of things in my life that I have to participate in taking care of. But without God, I couldn't order things right.
Amen
