The Earthquake of the Resurrection – Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon

Leave a reply

Video

Video Description

Friends, Happy Easter! We’ve come to the high point of the Church’s liturgical year, the reason why we’re Christians at all. If Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, Christianity is a waste of time; the resurrection is the hinge point, the standing or falling point, of our faith. Taking Easter seriously is the source of our joy and our hope. Everything else is secondary to the great declaration of our Easter faith. In light of that, I want to talk to you today about earthquakes.

Mass Readings:
Reading 1 — Acts 10:34a, 37-43
Psalm — Psalm 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23
Reading 2 — Colossians 3:1-4

Does God Punish Us? – Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon

Leave a reply

Video

Video Description

Friends, I want to focus this week on the second reading, which is from the marvelous Letter to the Hebrews. It addresses a very important and very controversial topic—namely, the divine punishment. You would be hard-pressed to say that this is not a motif in the Bible. That’s simply not the case; in fact, it’s a rather major motif. How do we make sense of this theme of divine punishment without falling back into a terrible view of God as an arbitrary, capricious tyrant? This little passage from Hebrews gives us the interpretive key.

Mass Readings:
First Reading — Isaiah 66:18-21
Psalm — Psalm 117:1, 2
Second Reading — Hebrews 12:5-7, 11-13
Gospel — John 14:6

What Is Faith? – Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon

Leave a reply

Video

Video Description

Friends, on this Nineteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time, our second reading from the Letter to the Hebrews offers us a great biblical description of faith. I stand with Paul Tillich, the Protestant theologian, who said that faith is the most misunderstood word in the religious vocabulary. Critics of religious say that faith is accepting things on the basis of no evidence; it’s believing any old nonsense; it’s naïveté; it’s superstition. But this has nothing to do with what the Bible means by faith.

Mass Readings:
First Reading — Wisdom 18:6-9
Psalm — Psalm 33:1, 12, 18-19, 20-22
Second Reading — Hebrews 11:1-2, 8-19
Gospel — Luke 12:32-48

The Church Is Built on the Rock – Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon

Leave a reply

Video

Video Description

Friends, this year, the feast of Saints Peter and Paul falls on a Sunday, and I want to spend some time reflecting especially on Saint Peter. Around the year 64, Shimon Bar Yonah, a fisherman from Galilee, was put to death brutally in the Circus of Nero. But while the Roman Empire is long gone and the successor of Nero doesn’t exist, the empire of this fisherman, Peter the Apostle, is everywhere, and in May, his 266th successor walked out onto the loggia of Saint Peter’s Basilica, built over the very spot where he was buried.

Mass Readings:
Reading 1 — Acts 12:1-11
Psalm — Psalm 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9
Reading 2 — 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 17-18
Gospel — Matthew 16:13-19

The Theology of the Trinity – Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon

Leave a reply

Video

Video Description

Friends, today is Trinity Sunday—one of my favorite feast days of the year because I can put my old theologian’s cap on. Looking first at one of the greatest of the medieval theologians, Saint Bonaventure, and then at maybe the greatest figure in Western theology, Saint Augustine, I’d like to reflect with you on the dynamics of the Trinitarian life—the very matrix into which we’re inserted through baptism.

Mass Readings:

Seated at the Right Hand of the Father – Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon

Leave a reply

Video

Video Description

Friends, getting the Ascension of the Lord right is very important for understanding many aspects of the Church’s life. So I want to dwell on that a little bit with you today, and I want to do so under two headings: the first I’m going to call more political, and the second more liturgical. They are both hinted at in the great statement in the Creed that we recite week after week: “He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.”

Mass Readings:
Reading 1 — Acts 7:55-60
Psalm — Psalm 97:1-2, 6-7, 9
Reading 2 — Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20
Gospel — John 17:20-26

The Love That Jesus Commands – Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon

Leave a reply

Video

Video Description

Friends, on this Fifth Sunday of Easter, we have an extraordinary Gospel that is at the heart of the Christian thing. Jesus, at the beginning of a lengthy and incredibly rich monologue he gives the night before he dies, says to his disciples, “I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” This is not a sentimental or psychological banality. To understand Jesus here, we have to understand what a strange thing love is—and the way the word is being used.

Mass Readings:
Reading 1 — Acts 14:21-27
Psalm — Psalm 145:8-9, 10-11, 12-13
Reading 2 — Revelation 21:1-5a
Gospel — John 13:31-33a, 34-35
