Get to Work! - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 тра 2024
- Friends, today we come to the wonderful Feast of the Ascension of the Lord. Like the disciples in our first reading, we often want to ask the Lord, “When is all of this going to come to fruition? What’s it all about? When is all of this going to make sense?” Reasonable enough questions. And we hear the same answer: It’s not for you to worry about. Rather, get to work! In the Ascension, the Lord moves to a higher dimension and then sends the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, so that we can be empowered to do Christ’s work in the world.

Reading 1 - Acts 1:1-11

bishop barron, i remember it is your mom’s first mother’s day in heaven. hope you are doing well today. thanks for your ministry. such a blessing to all of us. 💙💙💙
God bless you for remembering.
@@BishopBarron May your grief be lightened by the prayers and well wishes from your millions of followers. Your virtuous and exemplary presence is a testament of her existence and value, as well as God's. She must have been amazing, to have raised such a son.
I was not expecting a UA-cam comment to make me cry but here I am
God bless your mother. I know she is so proud and loves you so much!❤✨️
@@BishopBarronGod bless you Father ❤️
Really sad and lonely tonight. It was good to hear this message.
I pray you heal soon.
To our Bishops and Priests.... please, please, please lead the way on going OUT into the world, not just inwardly focused within the walls of the parish. An army of lay people are ready and willing to share the gospel and stand for truth. We just need a little direction and leadership. God bless Bishop Barron.
You’ll note here that the good bishop doesn’t say “wait for someone to give you direction.” No, if there is an army of lay people ready to go out, then go out. It is the laity’s responsibility to go out into the world. You may wish to read Apostolicam Actuositatem regarding this. I think a significant problem in the Church today is that when the laity do go out and bring Christ’s Truth to others, they bring them into a Church where the priests and bishops do not hold to that same truth. It is the laity’s (not the clergy’s) distinct obligation to go out into the world and restore the temporal order, but we must be assured that when we bring people through the doors, we bring them to good shepherds. It’s tiring telling people what the Church teaches only to be told “well Father so-and-so says it doesn’t matter.”
It's called being a protestant
100% agree! If the Lord us moving you to go out. Then get to work!! @@bethmcmullan7686
Precious few priests left in the USA. Also Parishes have no walls, not only is anyone invited to come to Church, its the place people have to come to, and what people everywhere should be invited to join into.
Agree!
Start in some small way and let God bless it and multiply it. Make a sacrifice of time, money effort for His Kingdom.
Wow! I think I know now why I love your sermons, talks… math, science, physics, biochemistry, philosophy, military… I am an engineer first before moving to the medical profession and now working for the military.
This is one of the most illuminating sermons I have ever listened to. Bishop Barron’s use of words (such as dimension as opposed to Heaven) allowed me to piece together concepts I have been brooding my about. Extremely grateful to have this content help guide me on this spiritual path. Glory to God. Christ is King.
Understanding the context makes a world of difference. Freud wrote, "The antidote to Christianity is literacy", Rome won the war of the Jews, so Jesus is hanging from a tree for 2000 years. The Christian home is in Rome, not Jerusalem. "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree:" Galatians 3:13 Christian videos present the typical preaching to the choir, since literate people don't waste time with this nonsense.
I suspect the Roman Empire had atheists. Matthew 17:20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” I like asking believers how they can possibly think their faith is respectable, given Jesus said faith is worthless, since you can't expect obedience when ordering mountains to move?
Get to work ..even if you don't understand... obeying...
These make sense to me now ...
Thsnk you lord for bishop barron.. love you Jesus
Thank you bishop Barron, finally someone who can explain these Bible passages in an intelligent way, so everyone can understand the scriptures.
Jesus Revolution - 2023 Thank you, Greg Laurie.
Thank you God for Bishop Barron & Thank you Bishop Barron for sharing your Faith, Hope & Love!
One day I was sent a sermon of yours from one of the parishioners, I was so amazed at your preaching , I could not believe what I had been missing all along, you have a wonderful way of explaining everything. I was absent from church and sacraments for 59 plus years. Through the kindness of my parish priest, I am happy again and at peace.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 GOD bless you and thank you.too
😢😢😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Father in heaven, thank you for this day and for the strength of your spirit as proclaimed through Bishop Barron! Help us all to be attentive and sensitive to the working of the Holy Spirit, and by your grace, enable us to fulfill our mission and our role in the proclamation of your kingdom - in Jesus name.
You are a gift from God father Barron. I reverted back mainly because of you and thousands if not hundreds of thousands do the same. They have surrendered and laid their fate into the hands of the Good Shepherd.
The most brilliant preaching and interpretation of all times. Thank you, Bishop Barron for your immense ministry.

It seems I get emotional every time I listen to you, good Bishop. Every time at the end when you say so humbly, 'snd God bless you', I become teary-eyed. You speak the Truth. It is so profound and beautiful to hear. I've never understood the teaching of the Church as the Body of Christ. You have provided here much on which to ponder and to meditate. Dear good Bishop thank you for hearing and answering God's Call!, despite not knowing what the full tapestry looks like. And God bless you too! ❤🙏🏼✝️🕊️
Love Bishop Robert Barron Homilies he has an articulate way of explaining things in a way that all can understand thank you for your videos on UA-cam Bishop Robert Barron. Bishop of the internet as Bishop Fulton J Sheen was known as the Bishop of the. television
Amen 🙏 Amen 🙏 Amen 🙏!
Before I go tonight, I would loke to say, Good work, good job, my dear dear sisters snd brothers in Jesus Cjrist. Thsnk you for not neglecting that which is important to God.
Bishop Barron's amazing intellect is a blessing for us all.
Thank you very much for the brilliant sermon! The best greetings from Ukraine!
Wonderful, graspable depth here Bishop Barron, providing a unique heft a bit different than your other sermons. People are starving for such vision and words and always will be. God bless you and your whole staff who gets us these every week.
Thanks for a beautiful brilliant explanation
This is 🔥, Bishop Barron!
Thank you for your leadership, guidance, and service. I appreciate it so much.
Excellent! Now we're talking Catholic Church!
Listening to this intelligent analysis of the concept of heaven and ascension makes me infinitly pleased to be a Catholic.
Let us pray for one another.
Many greetings from Albania! God bless you and your great job, Bishop Barron!
Thank you Bishop Barron, awesome truth, awesome grace, awesomeTrinitarian physics. Amen Amen.
“So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today." Matthew 6:34

God bless Bishop Barron and all the Word on Fire 🔥 ministries. Come Holy Spirit show us the way
Most Beautiful- THANK YOU BISHOP BARRON 🙏
Awesome homily, thank you God for empowering your mind, voice, and spirit, Bishop Barron
Beautiful message God bless you Bishop Barren 🙏🙏
And bless you too ❤🙏🏽
@bishopbarron Thank you so much for your biblical lessons, you're getting Jesus closer to us
I were thinking lately a lot about eschatology, how and when it gonna happen, and it was puzzling to me. This advice is the perfect response to my thinking from the Lord through Bishop Barron: don't think about it, you have things to do, get to work, and call the Lord into your heart!
Thank you for this wonderful reflection on Ascension Sunday! I needed to hear every word... so inspiring! God bless 🙏
Go to church, get baptized, receive first holy communion, get confirmed, and go to church on Sunday. Have a personal relationship with God.
It will change your life for the better.
Don’t forget Confession!
@@bethmcmullan7686 Yes. Absolutely, and amen.
A universe with infinite past would still need a being to sustain it ~~
But you can't jump the gap to the Christian God with this argument. It could be a really smelly monkey who got a D minus on his universe creation project because his universe is inhospitable to carbon-based life.
Jesus Revolution - 2023.
Thankyou Bishop Robert.
And just like that I’m ready for Mass tomorrow
Thank you Bishop for being here for us.
It's a great sermon! Thank you!
Bishop Barron, I can't thank you enough, been watching your sermons lately,.. Thank You Sir, God Bless
Longest journey in life? From the head to the heart
Thank you Bishop Barron ❤
I have understood something very profound from this sermon, about my own failure to understand and accept something about my life. Thank you and God Bless you in your ministry.
Thank God there are Protestants. I love the Catholic church and I very much care about priests. May God bless you. It is just that there is something missing. And I think the Protestants are doing a pretty good job. Don't even get me started with regards to those talking to each other and playing cool music. People are not robots. There is a love that is so great and it has been poured out upon us. It is time to praise the LORD. Jesus Christ is LORD.
That was probably the most inspirational and loving message I’ve ever heard.
❤️🙏 Beautiful. ❤️🙏
Get to work! Right now! We all need. We all have to work. And, man, today is really hard work. Amen from Portugal
Thank you, as always
Thx Bishop Baron..i found this to be Immensely encouraging. You Are doing His work, using your gifts and giving them back to God
He is indeed a gift from God.
Thats all my Lord, surrender is the key.
Blessed Mother, Happy Mother’s Day 🙏
💫Dearest Heavenly Father, I come before you with a heart overflowing with gratitude for the precious gift of my mom. Though she now resides in the splendor of heaven, her (poor) love, guidance, and nurturing presence continue to shape my life. Thank you for the cherished memories, the laughter, and the tears we shared. Mom, whenever you are now, your love has been the foundation on which I've built my life. I did promise at your funeral to honor your memory by being the person you raised me to be. I still miss having you near, and I never once doubted your love for me. Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to all mothers. Bishop, thank you for all your prayers for the Dreger family. God bless you all.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Ascension of Jesus, pray for us.
St. Joseph, pray for us.
St. Cinthia, pray for us
Jesus died on the cross, praying for us.
Jesus, I trust in You!!!

Thank you Father. So understandable and educating. We need your sermons very, very much. God bless you abundantly and Our Holy Mother protect you🙏🙏🙏
We need the Holy Spirit to live as an authentic Christian. Thank you Bishop for this inspiring reflection
Happy belated Mother’s Day, moms! 💝
*Bishop Barron:* Heaven is a symbol - the heavens, the sky, the clouds. That's a symbol for what transcends our ordinary experiences ... Christ eternally stands outside of time. He can include all of the people across space and time in his great temple sacrifice.

@Stupidityindex I was just re-reading Lord of the Rings. It's interesting to find out that J.R.R Tolkien wasn't literate.
People like you are quite sad. Everything is reduced to materialism. No room for beauty, no room for higher truths. As evidenced by your total lack of imagination concerning the parable of the mountain. That's why Jesus spoke in parables, so that self satisfied scoffers wouldn't be able to understand what He was saying, because they don't deserve to.
"IF"

Once again, Thank You Bishop Barron. Your Sunday Seromons shed light and understanding on the Gospel with beauty and eloquence. Thank you for all you do.
Thanks Bishop Barron so thought provoking....God bless.
I love you Jesus thank you for never giving up on me and for always saving me. 🙏🏼
I like how Jesus handled this topic, with His conversation with Nicodemus.
LOVE THESE LECTURES. SMARTEST PERSON I KNOW. SENT TO 50. KEN DAVIS
Blessed Sunday!
Thanks be to God 🙏
He is tough, trustworthy.
❤ Bishop Barron sermons! Always thankful! Blessings ❤
Excellent explanation of the Ascension
Thank you, Bishop Barron for hosting a nice internet site where s person can post comments. I am highly supportive of the churches - each one has its positive aspects. I have travelled the USA for over three and a half years, talking to people about the Gospel. You know how hard it is to find a place to post a comment? It is quite difficult. They took all the bulletin boards down, and those who would do good in some small way are silenced by the overload of attention to commerce. That never worked with the Babylonians, the Assyrians, nor the Romans. It is not going to work now. Christians trying to fit into a commerce agenda - it's probably always going to amount to frustration and separation, lack of progress, lack of praise. These are serious matters. Gravity, itself is not something that is going to go away. And neither is the truth of God.
Thank you Bishop Barron for continuing to educate us in our Holy Church. Amen 🙏
Amen, Amen,Amen and Amen, Very Trueth many Times, God Jesus Christ live 1958 it happens, Say To Me Don't Worry my Child I'm here beside, I Know That You Are Always Praying With Me, AMAZING Soo I We have Nothing to Worries, That Time Evening The Light Came from The SKY, Almighty Up Above Blesses US All and the Whole World Universes
do we ever truly understand if our work as we attempt to to allow Jesus to speak thru us bears fruit no but we can pass thru those encounters with confidence that the holy spirit will accomplish understanding that thy kingdom will come is truly what should concern us as we move forward thank you Bishop Barron
Awesome sermon. On the Ascension
This is great! Thanks Bishop!
This is absolutely marvelous!
🕊✝🕊 Another great homily and happy Feast of the Ascension of the Lord all. ❤✝🥝
God Bless you Bishop Baron for a truly inspirational uplifting powerful and practical sermon which I shall save to watch again.
The feast of Get to Work! I like that!
Very insightful homily Bishop Barron! I always learn a lot from you. Going to Holy Mass will never be the same again after this! Thank you Bishop Barron. God bless you and Our Lady protect you!
This is qiite an interesting perspective & "directive" for our Lord's Ascension! Food for thought & inspiration for action!
Thank you for today's message. It struck a chord.
Thank you Bishop Barron it is such a relief when coming across a tteaching like this ...in such a short time you explain someting profound...and like physical food you break it down so that we understand better... Study, believe and finally use it ourselves as we do our humble share of evangelization...praying for you Bishop and all other priests whom Jesus is using in a special to help empower members of the Body of Christ🙏😇
God bless you 🙏
I wonder if the apostles of Jesus had tears in their eyes when Jesus was taken up to heaven. My eyes water when I read that part of the Acts of the apostles.
May God Bless you all

@@Stupidityindex channel name checks out. No, that's uncharitable for me to say. But what is your point?
Thank you Bishop!
Wonderful explanation
Thanks

Beautiful interpretation of this wonderful feast day. Looking forward to Mass this morning, where we get a taste of Heaven here on Earth.
This correlates with the long-held teaching that, during the Mass, at the consecration, all of heaven comes down to the altar as that miracle of transsubstantiation occurs. Thank you Bishop Barron.
God bless this Bishop
Lovely thoughtful delivery ❤
Someone travelling at the speed of light would reach the end of the Solar System in under 27 hours. So in 2000 years Jesus would have gone much, much further. But, of course, we understand that what Bishop said was just for the sake of illustration. After all, even 2000 light-years is just a spec of distance in the universe with a radius of 50 billion light-years... And I liked the comparison with dots, lines, two and three dimensional shapes. Great sermon!
Good job, Bishop Robert Barron. Thank you very much, Mr. Bishop Robert Barron. Thank you THANK YOU.
God bless you bishop Barron .love u.
