Have You Stopped Listening to Jesus? - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon
Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus travels outside of Israel and heals a man of his deafness. Today, we live in a realm of spiritual deafness. We are bombarded with voices from outside, echoing around us until we are as incapable of hearing as the man from our Gospel. Like him, look to Jesus to heal you so that you might hear the word of God and understand his truth, rather than the lies of the world which surround us.

Such beautiful homily as only Bishop Barron can deliver.
Pray for me.... Everything around me is,,,, I have faith, but can't exercise because of so much suffering, poverty and family being torn etc... Please pray for me... Sometimes so many tests make me feel so down that that day I feel too bad to get Good Lord on my mind, and sometimes it's hard to pray, even though I am sure I will not ever disbelieve... Please pray for me....

After 40 years of working as a nurse, I resigned from my position after being diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia. After six months , I received a call from our Pastor and invited me to be part of the evangelization program of the parish. I don’t know what this all entails but after deep discernment, I realized that there’s more to do than just nurse myself at home. “Be opened!” Our Pastor has assigned me to be the overall Coordinator of the program. Your homily reinforces my willingness and my openness to God’s plan. Please pray for me. God bless you.

Amongst the greatest Catholic preachers we have is Bishop Barron. The gift he has with handling The Word is something we need more of amongst our priests. This scripture from Mark 7 is full of so much meaning and I thought I understood most of the symbolism in it...reminding us that Tyre and Sidon were "pagan" and the equivalent of secular western culture put a whole new shine on it for me! God bless Bishop Barron's ministry!

@@philipfarnam6013 I don't know where you live but in the USA we have freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Evangelism is essential to Christianity as Christ instructs us to give His love and teachings to others. If others don't accept it that is their loss and evangelical Christians will press on sharing love and light with others while you seek out religious videos with the intention of trolling innocent people. That's sad for you. I hope something better grows in your heart, that something being love which only comes from God as a gift and can only be shared with others through His grace and mercy.

You're sounding pretty much like the nonsense they teach potential "associates" and "partners" in technical sales schools. What you're "sharing" you regard as a message of "love and light"; important "gifts", as you said and your evangelical method as "essential"...a direct instruction from your imaginary deity. To the rest of us, you're just another PIA with a product to sell that we have to contend with. You should not be surprised at objection and resistance. Stay home.

Bishop Barron, I first learned of you and the Word on Fire through your video series Catholicism. I am a retired LEO of 35 years. I only saw the last episode so my daughter bought me the box set and I loved it! I lined it to my corporal and he John and his wife Patty and their two children Luke and Alex watched the whole series and it awakened their spiritual life they went through all of the sacraments together as a family and they now are very happy Catholics. Their daughter even wrote a beautiful song “Pray “. I don’t think that was me evangelizing but I do know the Holy Spirit brought them to Christ! God bless!
Thank you for sharing your faith and scholarship with all!

Your voice and message Bishop Barron takes us away from the crowd that makes us know more about God. Thank you for having a space in this noisy and confusing world of social media. For it takes us back to Jesus, the voice that gives us love and peace.
Thank You, Bishop Barron
Very thankful that Jesus built one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church wherein He Who is our daily Bread of Life can be found every day during the Holy Mass. And, that will continue to preach His teachings correctly until His return at the end of time. (Matthew 16:15-19; 28:18-20 NAB)
Yes, Bishop Baron, it's TRUE that Jesus Christ healed the sick, He has POWER to heal because of His simplicity of LIFE and PRAYER. You can also have that if you can FOLLOW PERFECTLY JESUS' WAY OF LIFE, PRAYER, and L❤VE to GOD the ALMIGHTY HOLYGOD... in Christian term "GOD the Father." May you will be the PERFECT FOLLOWER OF JESUS CHRIST NOW AND FOREVER.🙏 AMEN!
Thank you Bishop Barron for this inspiring homily.

Thank you Bishop Barron for making Christ's love real: For unpacking this story to make known what is unknown. Especially today when it seems the bad guys are winning and hope for this world is fading. Your message of evangelization is one of love for others who don't know Christ's faith, hope and love. Thank you for reminding us of this and our mission. God bless you.

Being opened to hearing can do amazing things. I remember when I wasn’t sleeping well, and decided to go to church before the early mass. I was sitting, listening to morning liturgy of the hours. The words were so beautiful, inviting, and welcoming of the new day. I didn’t forget those beautiful hymns and psalms. They would call me back as I made an effort to go and listen more. I finally purchased my own Christian prayer book, and I’m learning morning and evening prayers now. The words don’t rest with me as they did when I just sat and listened (I’m busy flipping pages), but at least I’m no longer wishing I knew how to pray those beautiful prayers.
