Bishop Barron. A truly inspiring message told with gentle humility, with the grace and depth God has given you to speak for Him to others. God Bless you each day. Everyone should listen to this or watch, who believes in our God.🕊

I couldn't agree more. The analysis from this perspective is quite amazing and inspiring. "Let Christ's grace 'untether" you".

I just came home after spending a week with Franciscan nuns. It was amazing to see how they used their gifts for God. Even though most were quite advanced in age. It really made me think how I could use my talents for God... I've been blessed with a lot of things, I really need to start to give back. The master has need of this little donkey. Thank you! I'll keep it in my mind!

If you served Jesus, it is not a servitude nor enslavement but a liberation. Thank you Bishop Barron 🙏🏼 God bless you.

This is literally a take on Palm Sunday that I've never heard before. Bravo, Bishop.

Thank you Bishop, I now feel like an untethered donkey. Bless you this Easter season. Your homilies are meaningful, educational and spiritually healing.

Sent this to a young lady I am sponsoring for baptism on the Easter Vigil. Excellent

Thank you Bishop Barron for such an inspiring homily. Christ has called all the baptised into his service. Greetings from Ireland. 🇮🇪

I don’t know why but I cry uncontrollably every time I listen to this homily. Thank you Bishop Barron.

I feel this is one of many of Bishop Barron's sermons that has everything we need to know to live a good life. Many thanks to Bishop Barron and the Word on Fire Team for the wonderful work they do.

What an inspiring word! Even a "senior" person, like me is needed by the LORD. Thanks for giving me purpose.

Thank you Bishop Barron for your most valuable words. I listen to you daily and gain so much from all you say. Your words are filled with wisdom and always make me think long after I have heard them. I send your sermons to my 3 boys who have all left the church. They don’t usually respond but I’m hoping there may be some words that may resonate with them to finally bring them back to God. If they won’t listen to me they may listen to you. God bless you for all your amazing work. 💕🙏

In the spirit of this homily, I give thanks to God for working so brilliantly through Bishop Barron and his focus on that one phrase and how our purpose is to give the gifts we've been given by God as a gift back to Him. I also have a vague memory of a saint, or maybe a pope, who said that we discover who we are when we give of ourselves.

Bishop Barron: Truly one of the most inspiring homilies I have heard. Although the Lord has need of nothing, how He delights in our response to serve Him. This homily is something that the multitudes need to hear!

The Master has need of YOU --- that's for sure! No one mines the scriptures like you do, and presents them to us to be taken up and lived in ways we never would have thought of. Again, as every week. Thank you!

to whom much is given, much will be expected. the ability to do, is the opportunity to do - and how those gifts are invested in service demonstrates our appreciation of what they're worth.

Wow , thank you Bishop Barron, wow , yes the Master has need of us and in HIS need for us , there in lies the answer to our needs being fulfilled. I love it thank you GOD BLESS. Thank you for answering to HIS need for you, your sharing is certainly a Blessing for me . Thank you . Prayers for HIS continued BLESSINGS on and in you and all you say and do and for Word on Fire.

A beautiful homily, Bishop Barron. The Master has need of each of us, and the gifts He's given us. Thank you, God for all You've given us and the mercy You've shared. Thank you, Bishop Barron for your beautiful homilies, plus helping us to have a better understanding of Scripture. God loves Bishop Barron.

The Master has need of me - I never thought of it that way, thank you.

Rema. Sermon, am inspired. God needs both our belongings & hearts.

Thanks, Bishop Barron, for your good homily, leading me to think "God, the Master, has a need of me" and that we are being untethered for liberation, not enslavement or servitude. God bless.

May the Holy Spirit continue to inspire you with great homilies. Thank you Bishop Barron.

Remembering this passage from A Canticle for Leibovitz, in which one priest gives advice to another: “You'll be asked to be the ass He rides into Jerusalem, but it's a heavy load, and it'll break your back, because He's carrying the sins of the world.”

As a brother, this speaks to me. As a believer, this speaks to me. As a catechist, this speaks to me. Beautiful homily, Bishop. Just beautiful.

Bishop Barron, I give thanks to the Lord for giving you this gift. Keep on participating and keeping us in line.

As someone earlier remarked: THE MASTER is in need of YOU! God bless you ... you are CALLED! Now I need to go out and practice what YOU preached! Thank you for enriching this Holy Week with the simplicity of your sermon and unlock all that tethers me from the Calling of My Master! M.Pereira

I’ve often felt dissatisfied when people complimented me on my gifts - precisely because I knew them to be gifts and they only made sense if I could use them to serve. I’ve often wished people could see the “real me” instead of my gifts. But with that verse “The Master has need of it”, everything finds its meaning and drops into its proper place. Thank you!

Oliver Clark That’s your interpretation, I am afraid. The donkey could also be analogous to a person’s gifts or talents as well, in which the person is tethered to fame/popularity than using the gifts for the purpose of God’s kingdom. It’s still good to use the analogy of an individual

I have learned a great deal from Bishop Barron, and I believe that he is working very hard to help us with our faith journey. One thing you could consider is that the Holy Spirit could be using any and all situations to help us grow--whether or not you agree or disagree. Another thing to consider is praying for the Bishop and for yourself. When I find myself being judgmental or critical of others, praying for that person(s) is the best thing I can do. I hope this helps.

I would say also that it is Jesus himself showing his OWN humility... that he does indeed need something from the owner of the donkey and that he politely asks for it. He also shows humility by riding a mere donkey as opposed to a might chariot or its ilk. Jesus does practice what he preaches.

you are popular for Christ.

Genevieve Philip, What d you make of the FAKE Bishop?

One of the Best Palm Sunday Homilies I've heard. Using whatever gifts you've got to Glorify God. I believe Shakespeare encouraged more positive outlooks and ideas about Christianity as a playwrite than if, say, he has decided to be a Priest. And for those ...not bright individuals who say Shakespeare wasn't a Christian: 1) in my 4 decades of studying his plays, the Bard's true beliefs are all over those plays 2) a famous,.highly respected English Historian of Elizabethan England- AL Rowse- counted Shakespeare quoting 40 different Books of the Bible. Something to ponder...

God needs us God doesn't need us which is it. In fact God has gone to alot of trouble to see we worship and praise him and the heavenly host constantly praising and worshipping. Why!!!.

Blessed Easter to You & Yours, Bishop Barron...Amen!

Excellent commentary

Very inspiring, thank you Bishop Barron.

I am so very grateful to Bishop Barron for reminding me of the best and most inspiring sermon I ever heard in my life which prompted a career change, I was already a Nurse but it inspired me to find a way to do more, I especially like the image of the donkey colt as the epitome of the humble servant which we all aspire to be. God Bless us one and all❤️

Imagine if all mankind heeded the Master's call to service.

Andrew De Bill ( Brother Andrew) told this story in one of his books. He was working in Palestine and Israel, and had several young Muslim men who were converted and worked with him to help spread the gospel. One who was a co leader of a group of Hamas specially was very brave and vocal about his new faith to his companions. One day, he was lured into a shed, and his co partner, and best friend pulled a knife, and told him he was going to be killed if he did not renounce his belief in Jesus Christ. The young man refused, and his leader, and very best friend pulled out a knife and plunged it into the young man's stomach As he did, and the young man was dying, he looked into his friend's eyes, and said "Jesus loves you too you know ! "... This ultimate act so affected the leader that he too became a lover of Christ, and eventually escaped through an underground network to the USA. He never forgot his friend, who died at his hand for standing fast with Jesus. The young man died for Jesus, not because of his courage in the face of adversity.

This is the message I needed to hear today.

Wonderful sermon- thank you Bishop. Thinking about those Bethlehem donkeys marked like us with the cross of Christ! Praise the Lord.
