Surrender to the Holy One - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

Friends, the first reading from Deuteronomy today is of signal importance. Moses, speaking to the people before they enter the Promised Land, says, “A prophet like me will the LORD, your God, raise up for you from among your own kin; to him you shall listen.” These words haunted the mind of Israel. Moses was the supreme authority; there was no figure in the Old Testament more important. Who could be greater than Moses? We find the answer in the Gospel: Jesus of Nazareth, the Holy One of God, who speaks on his own authority.

Mass Readings:
Reading 1 - Dt 18:15-20
Psalm - Ps 95:1-2, 6-7, 7-9
Reading 2 - 1 Cor 7:32-35
Gospel - Mk 1:21-28

Growing up Jewish, my teachers said to disregard the New Testament as only the Old Testament was relevant, yet they selectively overlooked passages like Deuteronomy 18 that would have been enlightening but didn't agree with their beliefs. I am grateful to Bishop Barron for teaching so eloquently and thoroughly.

Pray for my vocation to the priesthood! Thanks for giving us powerful homilies. You’re a modern day John Chrysostom

Bishop Barron would be a great Pope one day.

Greatest man in history, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today🙏🏻. His name is Jesus.

“Church people listen to me right now. Devils love to hang out in churches. They always have … that’s a sermon for another day”. I can’t wait to hear it.

Bishop Barron really brings home the meaning of "Father." If every man could listen to his words speaking the truth of Jesus Christ, the world would be an infinitely better place. The good Bishop has inspired me to seek Baptism and Confirmation. Peace be with you all.

Thank you, dear Bishop Barron. May my resistance eventually give way to sweet surrender to God . . . Please pray for my family, the people I work with, and me, a sinner. - From the Philippines.

Thanks!
Now I can tell my wrong headed inner voice "Quiet! Leave me now!!"

So simple

After confession today a giant problem that felt hopeless was taken from me with truly astonishing simplicity

I feel such amazing hope and joy

Absolutely wow !!! I've now unsubscribed to all catholic channels except this channel. Unlike other channels where I feel they teach their own understanding and make things so confusing, Bishop Barron adheres strictly to the Word of God, which makes his teaching life-giving

Talk about timing, I just said to JC this morning, I give up, I surrender, just keep those arms around me and don’t let go . Love you BBB .

God bless you Bishop Barron, you bring clarity to the readings of God’s word. I’m excited to attend mass Sunday mornings because listening to your explanation of the Gospel fills my heart with spiritual understanding. Jesus I Trust In You.

Thank you, Bishop Barron. I usually read the scriptures the night before Mass and listen to your sermon after Mass. Tonight, I listened to your sermon before Mass and how inspirational it is for me! When, I hear the readings proclaimed at Mass tomorrow, I will be more able to listen with my heart and with Jesus at the center. Peace be with you, too!

Opening the doors to surrender is the sweetest sensation you'll ever feel.
