  • Friends, we come now to the holy season of Lent, our preparation for Easter. I've often said that Lent is a time to get back to basics. It’s like when you're starting the football season and have to get back to fundamentals of the game, or when you're getting back to playing golf after a long winter away and have to remember the fundamentals of the swing. So in the spiritual order there are certain fundamental truths, and the readings for this first Sunday of Lent are especially good at getting us in touch with them.

    Oh dear Bishop, how wise and insightful you are! How I wish you were around when I was in my teens, 20's and 30's doing all the wrong things because they satisfied ME. Oh yes, those activities and events were fun at the time and I do remember them fondly - - but with the knowledge now that I was not searching for God, but satisfying my own ego. And now in my late 70's, I am so very happy that I have found God and can work towards my recommitment to His words of love and truth and simple obedience.

    Hello Bishop Barron. Greetings from Thailand. Thank you so much for this powerful sermon. I've listened to it 3 times and each time your message has brought me more and more understanding of something I've been wondering and searching for an answer. Your sermon just gave me that answer and explanation. I started to cry, and it seemed time stopped as I found myself in this powerful sphere of better understanding God. I feel like all my efforts and sacrifice have been paid off as God granted me this understanding. Thank you so much Bishop Barron. Thank you for helping me become a better Christian. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

    Bishop Barron brought me back to the Church. I listen to him daily. I wouldn't be back without him and Fr. Mike. I have a whole notebook on His Excellency's sermons. It makes me feel good to know he is one of our modern-day apostles. He does a great job. He's such a brilliant man. I'd love to have 1/10 of his mental capability, but I'm learning from him at least.

    Once again, it was an amazingly uplifting and encouraging sermon.
    Some time ago, I began recognizing that one of the best ways of thanking my Heavenly Father is to plan to thoroughly enjoy every innocent pleasure He brings to me. It's amazing the joy this one insight has brought into my life! It is like the Father is laughing at the laughter of His child!

    God bless you bishop for your wise words. So many good points. We want to be "god" so many times, decide what is right or wrong, instead of looking up to our God and His Holy Word. We need to focus more on the positive things, praise and worship the Lord for what He has done for us, for what He gave us. Feeling limited by the Commandments is the lie of the evil that so many falls for. So Praise the Lord always 🙏

    Thank you, again, Bishop Barron. A NYT columnist wrote today how Thomas Jefferson predicted a secular society in less than a generation. And how every few generations, a surge in religious embrace has risen up to thwart such a secular onslaught. Perhaps we are on the cusp of such a surge. If so, your Sunday sermons may well be the springboard. IMHO. You not only speak to those of us without power, but to those with big egos and much power. Your words seem to draw the ears of all -- whatever their station, wherever they may reside. Bless you.

    Thank you for this centering message on the basics of the gospel message. this is not only sound theology but also very sound psychology put in a theological frame of reference. the point is, we all live by a criterion around which we organize our life, the question is, what is my criterion by which I am living my life. when we are faced with things in our life that bring us to the end of our rope, that we do not have control over is the moment we are confronted with the criterion we have chosen to organize our life around. Typically it takes such an event to bring this awareness to the for front of our consciousness, but when it does we have the opportunity to put the criterion of our life into perspective and answer the serpent once again, not as adam and eve did, but as Jesus did in his temptation with God as the criterion of good and evil.
