To What Does Your Heart Belong? - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, when our heart belongs to anything in this world, we live in an empty and lifeless spiritual space. But when our heart belongs to the Lord, the rest of our life falls into right order around that center. Our readings this week raise a crucial question: To whom-or to what-does your heart belong?

Greeting to you in THE LORD GOD by Jesus the Word made flesh. Hope you are keeping okay. John 16:9 “OF SIN, because they BELIEVE NOT on me;” 2 Corinthians 4:4 King James Version In whom the god of this world hath BLINDED THE MINDS of them which BELIEVE NOT, lest the light of the glorious GOSPEL OF CHRIST, who is THE IMAGE of God, should shine unto them. Luke 4:15-23 King James Version 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath ANOINTED me to preach the GOSPEL to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to THE BLIND, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son? 23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, HEAL THYSELF: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. (Gospel is to recover spiritual sight to the spiritual blind. Satan blinded the MINDS. JESUS THE LIGHT opens eyes and exposes the darkness, lies, falsehoods) These words are spirit not carnal mind or physical) John 6:63 King James Version 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the WORDS that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE. Acts 26:18 King James Version 18 TO OPEN their eyes, and to TURN THEM from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. ( Here is the forbidden fruit- It is written Hosea 10:13 “Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have EATEN THE FRUIT OF LIES: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.” (Sow the Good seed. The corrupt seed is the seed of the serpent/ fork tongue/ half truth) Luke 8:11 King James Version 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the WORD of God 1 Corinthians 2:16 King James Version 16 For who hath known THE MIND of the Lord, that he may instruct him? BUT we have THE MIND of Christ. Romans 12:2 King James Version 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the RENEWING of YOUR MIND, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Spiritual baptism Jesus does this) Ephesians 5:26 “That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water BY THE WORD,” John 15:3 King James Version 3 Now ye are clean THROUGH THE WORD which I have spoken unto you. JESUS IS THE WORD. God SPOKE JESUS CHRIST. JESUS WENT FORTH INTO THE earth to 'walk God's talk', fulfill the word because JESUS is the WORD) Genesis 1:3 “And God said, Let there be light: and there was LIGHT.” John 1:5 “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” 1 John 4:5 “They are of the world: therefore SPEAK THEY of the world, and the WORLD HEARETH THEM.” 1 John 4:6 “We are of God: he that knoweth God HEARETH US; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of TRUTH, and the spirit of ERROR.” John 1:1 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the WORD WAS GOD. John 1:14 And THE WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and TRUTH. John 14:6 JESUS saith unto him, I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but BY ME. John 17:17 KJV Sanctify them through thy truth: thy WORD IS TRUTH. May the LORD GOD ABBA Father bless you in Jesus Holy name
Even after realizing that only by giving our hearts to God we can be truly fulfilled, we're still being dragged constantly away by the lures of this world and the occasional frustrations of life. Thank you for the consistent and regular spiritual reminders Bishop, that only by putting God first and foremost we are truly alive.

Thank you Bishop Barton for being you. Your words help bring the direction and focus to the Lord's message. God bless you and all. I needed this, especially today. Yesterday I had the opportunity to be like Jesus and completely to the right thing and be truly and fully kind to someone. Yes, I did help, but what I realized afterward, the thru my own selfishness, I failed to completely follow thru the way I should have. And only afterward did I realize I missed the opportunity to please the Lord by being the person he would have preferred me to be. Yes, I was kind, but nowhere near what could have been. Please forgive me lord.

Nothing seems so difficult and so effortless at the same time.

May we desire a ‘single-heart’ that belongs to God. Then through His Grace, all other associations will center around our LORD 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾

Thank you so much Bishop Barron for your sermon on Where Does My Heart Belong ? My heart has and always will belong to God..

Bishop Barron , so blest to hear you , your Challenge, your words of comfort help to center me a little more deeply in Jesus . THANK YOU ! sister mim
This sermon couldnt come at a better time. I have committed a sin which i know very well stem from my overt love and adoration toward my boyfriend. This sermon is a very strong reminder in a time when i feel the most unfit to stand in front of The Lord. Even praying these days make me cringe. It is really hard to connect with Him when my heart is divided and untrue. I am trying to pray and hope for strenght and salvation.

Pray! Pray from the heart! Trust in Him! And don't worry!! He loves you in a way incomprehensible to all of us!! Place your open heart before Christ on the Cross. Once you do, allow his mercy to penetrate your whole being. Be patient with him as he is with you!! I'll pray for you!! ❤✝️

@@annedouglas5308 I don't want to assume or read between lines. But some people dudes and gals. At times feel so in love that they made things they know they shouldn't. Things in many cases are contrary to the word of God all because of this love to the other person. I'm saying that because I know I have failed in similar ways.
Love of the Lord our God is the purest love, not dependant on wordly goods, not transitory, not up and down as suits our fancy but steadfast, revered anf full of the purest unchanging love, love of God is eternal, everlasting, it is an unending search and fulfillment.
So powerful and true! Thank you Bishop 🙏♥️

Thus saith the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will send spirit into you, and you shall live.And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to grow over you, and will cover you with skin: and I will give you spirit and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord.» Ezekiel 37.

I really admire your deepness and boldness! So striking and enlightening!

Bishop's Barron's comments remind me of this very moving statement from Vatican II: "All the faithful of Christ are invited to strive for the holiness and perfection of their own proper state. Indeed they have an obligation to so strive. Let all then have care that they guide aright their own deepest sentiments of soul. Let neither the use of the things of this world nor attachment to riches, which is against the spirit of evangelical poverty, hinder them in their quest for perfect love. " (Article 42, Lumen Gentium)
Thank you, Bishop Barron.
God bless you, Bishop Barron and team
