Be a Holy Priesthood - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

Friends, there is an enormously important line in our first reading today that we might just pass over: “The number of the disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly; even a large group of priests were becoming obedient to the faith.” Priests were so important in Jewish religious life, and these priests knew that Jesus was the fulfillment of the whole tradition of temple sacrifice. We, all the baptized, do not just admire Christ’s supreme priesthood from afar; we participate in it.

“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭

I listened to almost every video you made when I was coming into the church (about 13 years ago). You set me on fire. I spent so much time “with” you, I would joke to my RCIA team that you were my best friend. Your sermons still move my soul. I am eternally grateful. ❤ 🙏

I remember my younger days when my father ‘dragged’ me to church. Little did I realize the GIFT he was giving me. Bishop Barron surely reminds me of just how wonderful a gift it is.

Please pray for me and my children. I know Jesus is coming soon. I will keep faith. I will lay my fears upon the Lord! As a single mother I’m overwhelmed at times because both of my children are autistic. I’m desperately struggling trying to support them my husband passed years ago. Since covid I’ve been struggling. I lost my job as a social worker at Forsyth hospital because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition lupus and heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption. I’m waitressing and I’m so THANKFUL to be working again, but I’m not making nearly enough to make ends meet. I also started homeschooling my boys due to them having many issues including bullying so my hours to work are limited. But even as I struggle every month to pay rent and to buy groceries and even though I’m ashamed because of my situation. I have faith that God will provide. He has this far. Faith is truly the key. Please pray for me and my children. GOD BLESS!😊❤

Thanks Bishop for reminding us how privileged we are as Catholics - a royal priesthood commissioned to make the world a better place!

[davidludden]

Amazing…as always! I have learned so much from you Bishop Barron over the years. But most importantly you have brought me closer to Jesus. Can’t thank you enough!!! You are a blessing to our Church!!!

What a lovely sermon Bishop Barron. Your sermons are too good. May GOD bless and protect you always. ➕️♥️

[lolheavenly]

Thank you for the gentle reminder that we are god's living stone, we are here to spread his word and take care of the world and the people in it. We are able to be spreading his word amongst ourselves and be a part of spreading his gospel on this earth just like priests do. A lot of people now a days forget that not only are we to take care of ourselves and family but to love thy neighbour accordingly.


We are all here to take care of each other and spread the good word. We all must become aligned with the idea of holy priesthood and be able to spread the word of God. It's good to exercise our ability to do so and sacfrifice some of our time to do so.

Thanks as always for the wonderful sermon!

I never really understood the "priesthood of believers" until you explained it. Thank you.

[cliffbarber]

It’s very funny my father was just telling me that he had invited someone to a Catholic mass and they responded - it’s too boring; they preferred the “entertainment” of this other church they attended! He didn’t have the words to respond. Bishop Barron’s sermon today gives us the right response! Thank you Bishop Barron!🙏

[jovitorata]

Great job Bishop Barron Blessings to you and your family and word on fire staff

[chadruggles]

You’re amazing Bishop Barron! May God continue to bless you so you can change the hearts sinners.

[tomgreene]

A great catholic homily....worth a book in itself . about right worship .

[peterhickey]

Thank you Bishop Barron for opening up the scriptures for us as Jesus did for the disciples on the road to Emmaus. 🙏❤

"Accept O Most Holy Trinity, the Sacrifice enacted once by the Divine Word now renewed on the Altar through the hands of your Priest. I unite myself to the intentions of Jesus Christ Priest and victim that I may be consumed for your glory and the salvation of souls. I intend through Jesus Christ, with Jesus Christ, in Jesus Christ to adore your eternal majesty, to thank your immense immense goodness, to satisfy your offended justice and to beg for your mercy for the Church, for my dear ones and for myself."
*A Prayer for uniting ourselves any time to Masses offered throughout the world.*
