God Has Spoken; Are You Listening? - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

Friends, our first reading and our Gospel today are about the word of God, both from God’s side as he speaks, and then from our side as we receive. God has spoken through creation, the prophets, the Scriptures-and, in the fullness of time, the very Word of God. If you open your mind and heart to the power of God’s word, it will change you.

I realized who Jesus is and what He had done for me. I looked at creation in a new way. Since those days many years ago I have devoted myself to parish ministries. I tell everyone the Bible is alive!

    For a long time I didn't want to hear the Word of God for the basest of reasons, I liked sinning and I didn't want anyone or anything to put a damper on that. When you get to the heart of it with a lot of people that is what is going on. The Word of God tells us sin is wrong and the wages is death. When you're engaging in hedonistic acts you don't want to hear that, especially when deep down you know it's true. But salvation is there for all who seek it, for everyone who humbles themselves, repents, and does their best to sin no more, because they don't want to. It really is that simple. We're the ones who make the whole thing difficult.

    Bishop, you were just plain ol' Father Barron when my son 'suggested'--well, it was more than that, but said with loving and compelling authority--that I listen to you on KZread and just like that, I came back to the Church through the incredible gift of the Sacrament of Penance and the welcome of a parish that (a) had a parking lot and (b) somehow seemed to have a congregation that didn't chatter in the pews until the entrance procession. And I've listened to you ever since because yeah, the initial high fades a bit; my parish has not disappointed but now I'm sitting in the same pew with sons and their wives and a bunch of tiny noisy little grandkids, so further reflection on the gospel of day is welcome and needed. God bless you, Bishop.

    Bishop Barron mentioned that preaching needs to improve in the Catholic Church. I believe he is right, but we are expecting sermons to entertain us today more than anything else. I also believe that sermons no longer challenge us because people will immediately head for the door. We want that 10-15 minute period once a week to entertain us rather than allowing it to change our lives for the good. We hear it but we don't want to cooperate with it or let it challenge us or change us. It is not always exciting! It is not meant to be entertaining! If we let it do in us what it is meant to do, we would have no problem hearing it and we would, in fact, look forward to hearing it as often as possible. God bless you Bishop Barron!

    What a great sermon, thank you! 🙏 It's funny because I was just thinking the other day about how sad I am sometimes as a former protestant who has retained some great things about my former experience, that there does seem to be a sort of drastic underemphasis on the Word of God at times amongst Catholics. I'm glad that you touched up on that Bishop Barron, because I think that sometimes, even as well meaning human beings, we tend to get baited into these polemic arguments and Catholics are almost afraid that if they show any enthusiasm whatsoever about this precious gift of the word of God that they will be somehow conceding that protestants are right about everything. We need to stop caring about how we think we'll look in front of men and women, and start caring a whole lot more about how we look in God's eyes! The Divine Word is one of the most precious gifts that The Lord has given us and we need to embrace it as such! God Bless you Bishop, and thanks again for leading us 😄

    Thank you for this homily. I am Catholic and my father is Catholic but my mother is baptist. Growing up I went to both Catholic and Baptist church every Sunday. I was never encouraged to read the Bible at my Catholic parish, but each week at the baptist church we memorised scripture and got into the habit of reading Scripture. I love my Catholic faith but I am eternally grateful for my Baptist training in reading the Bible daily.🙏

And before him no creature is hidden, but all are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do." Hebrews 4: 12-13

    « Whatever is is because of the divine word ». Christian faith in God represents the primacy of God as the Word versus simple matter. And, given we are beings of and from the Word as God, I should not be surprised to notice the trinitarian imprint of God as Thought, Freedom and Love in what makes me what we are as beings: free, thinking and capable of love: the three ingredients of the soil I am to God’s word.

    A wonderful sermon again! The word of God is not only creative but super influential. After accepting Christ I was changed as a person, treating people differently and thinking differently. Life with Christ has been totally different, from the way I act and treat people to my everyday thoughts that flow through my mind. God changes you for sure. The way you talked about it makes me feel better, because a lot of people make fun of me for my ideals or tell me I need to be less forgiving but this is just confirmation that I am doing the correct thing. I like to forgive a lot of people and take care of people even if they don't do it in return. It's great to know I'm on the right track, I love the line God's word is creative. As for the parabole I’ve experienced it firsthand. A lot of my friends have heard only segments of the word or will visit church a few times then get uninterested. Hoping to bring a few of them back to church when I get the chance. There must be a deeper note that will strike eventually. It’s hard to say but yes some churches are better than others and especially catering towards younger generations would help too. I'm excited to hopefully bring a few friends back to the right walk of life.

    God bless you, Bishop Barron, as you weekly scatter the seed of God's word to the culture through your weekly sermons. As I listened to today's sermon I thought about one plant from my garden that was started from seed but ran out of room to place in the garden. While all the other plants are flourishing from daily needs being met, this little guy, though getting water, is just barely surviving. I failed this plant greatly by not sharing it with another gardener to be properly developed.

    The Catholic Church has been fabulous at preaching Christ's teachings. It isn't Christ's or His Church's fault that people who usually already know His teachings still approach with already- been- answered questions. Thankfully, Jesus authorized and blessed His Church with His infinite patience and wisdom in order to preach His teachings correctly to every nation, as He commanded.

    When I heard this today in Mass, my reaction was that I feel so weak. I am the seed the falls on rock and in the thorn (the ANXIETY, the other hard life issues I am dealing with is taking up my thoughts, a legal case at the moment for the last 4 years). Also, I don't know how to have the Words, how do I know who to tell the Word to? There are 3 persons in my life who I am passionate about getting them to choose God. 2 of them won't have it. I don't mind losing my relationship with them by telling them what I believe they need to know. That being a 'nice' person doesn't cut it. You have to choose God. I don't possess the gifts of the spirit either it seems. Some say I do and other days it just doesn't seem like that. I don't really know how to deliver the Word with the Love Jesus tells us to, in the way that will have the right outcome. I think it would turn them away if anything. Example, it appears many assume that just being a good person, that God being merciful will accept them into heaven. My understanding is a murderer who believes Jesus is their Savior, who repents, who CHOOSES God has a better chance to get into heaven than the a 'nice' person who always does the right thing but never chooses God. Of course I would not say, "choose God or go to hell." But sometimes, in my passion it could come across that way. I will pray for the words, the spirit of Love, the gifts of the spirit and how to explain the importance of being in relationship WITH God.

    Let the light of your Christian life be the greatest argument. That is the approach that I am trying to adhere to, and will do so more once I am baptised and confirmed. Jesus did not convince through arguments, but through being what he is. Good luck, and peace be with you.

    I feel the parable of the sower personally. Raised in a non-practicing family. I received some word but little teaching. Then hardship and the world took over and I was like the seed in the thorns. Pleasure was the way to replace an absent father, the way to fill the lack of affection of my youth. I never realized what happiness was until I cleared away the brush and finally saw the light. The word has been filling my emptiness with HIS love. Thanks in no small part to Your Excellency. ❤️

    For the Hebrews the word of God is something that God does as well and something that God says ... Where God was concerned. This is a fairly important understanding to achieve even as far as the New testament is concerned ... It is best expressed. The writers of scripture used many possible images as they could in order to get that insight across to the people to whom the scriptures were read. Genesis 1:3 God said let there be light and there was light. The purpose of writing this way is to indicate that when God speaks his word is effective his word appears not only as word in our understanding of it but also appears as event.

There is a passage in Matthew Chapter 7 that may be necessary to stress as a warning for people who do not understand the Word of God, which in my beleaguered country has been dramatically happening a couple of months ago: "26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice, will be like the foolish man who built his house on sand: 27 the rain fell, the torrents came, the winds blew, broke against that house and it fell, and was great his ruin."
