Go in Haste, Be Astonished, Treasure! - Bishop's Sunday Sermon

Friends, on this Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, we hear three significant words in the Gospel from Luke: haste, astonished, and treasured. If God has broken into your life in some decisive way, if you’ve been given your mission, then don’t worry about what the world says: move, act, go. When God manifests himself, the right response is astonishment. And then savor, treasure, reflect upon these astonishing things in your heart. In all these ways, we honor Mary, the Mother of God.

An excellent sermon Bishop. One of my favorite parts being the quote from St. Cardinal Newman about Mary being the first theologian. But your instructions are absolutely spot on.

God spoke these words to me, "Believe. Be strong." I joined the Catholic Church after I saw a vision in church of Mary beckoning me to her Son. It changed my life. I was called to join Him and His Son and I said yes.

Great homily and as a cradle Catholic, I’ve only recently been listening to your Sunday homilies. They have enriched my faith and I thank you and wish you Gods continued blessings in 2023.

🎶Bishop Barron, I love it when you speak about the classics. music and I don't listen in the right places but within the Catholic voices I know that is a rare moment. Thank you!

“Almighty Father, You have created for us some definite purpose. Grant us the grace to know the path You have planned for us in this life and to respond with a generous “Yes.” Make our archdiocese, parishes, homes and hearts fruitful ground for Your gift of vocations.”

Bishop Barron - I have always known you to be a most remarkable man but today's homily really brought it home to me. In my entire 71 years of life I've only encountered three individuals who treasured the beauty of classical music. Like you I treasure Shakespeare, works of art, literature, etc. How I wish others could see God in all of this. May our Lord richly bless you in this coming year.
