Friends, Joseph Campbell and, more recently, Jordan Peterson are very interested in the Jungian archetype of the hero's journey. We see it all over the literature of the world and popular culture, from "The Lord of the Rings" to “Star Wars." But it is also on display very strongly in the Bible. In our remarkable second reading from the Letter to the Hebrews, the author reflects on faith as a sense of trust in God and a willingness to follow him on adventure-in short, as accepting the invitation to a hero’s journey.

I’m 86 years old++ . Everything in my life since birth has been an adventure. I turn my life and will over to God every day. I’ve had some terrible things happen to me….later in my story turned out to be best thing that could have ever happened to me. Thank you God for the adventure of my life!!!

You have been Blessed! If only for having gained that perspective, you have been Blessed. Shine on, Sister. My father is also 86. I have the Blessing of having a wonderful relationship with him. We still sail together. He is (we are) still winning races on Lake Saint Clair! He is fearless. He is my hero. I too, by his example, have embarked on a journey, though it wouldn’t have been possible without God and Jesus in my life. I am formerly atheist and am now so grateful for all He has had in store for me and has planned for me. I’ve walked the dark valley and have finally seen the light that guided me and protected me through it all. I have been blessed to know my father AND the Heavenly Father. Life is most certainly an adventure. It’s so good to be living it!!! Grace and Peace be with you and yours ~

This sermon couldn't have come at a more perfect time! As this video is released, I'm just about move very far from home to begin studying at seminary. I'm sad to leave, but at the same time, I have the sense the I'm at the beginning of a grand adventure. Bishop Barron, the Holy Spirit used your work to bring me into the Catholic Church, so you and your team are largely responsible for the adventure that God currently has me on. I can't thank you and the Word on Fire team enough. God bless you!

@BishopBarron Год назад

Which seminary, may I ask? God bless you on your adventure.

I asked for the grace to be able to do all my purgatory here and with God all is possible. Your friend and sister in Christ Mary Lugo.

The greatest journey of Faith ever taken by a human being was the Fiat of the Blessed Virgin Mary. When she said, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done unto me according to Thy word," do we not hear an echo of Isaiah's, "Here I am lord, send me." ? Antoinette Cleary, Chesterfield Virginia

@maryclareclemons9070 Год назад

This was EXACTLY what I needed to see today.. one of my favorite sermons ever. The idea of God Himself going on a hero’s journey was so beautiful and inspiring to me. I feel lit on fire to follow my own journey God has called me to! Thank you Bishop Barron for this awesome insight!

@markballantyne393 Год назад

It's more than likely none of the biblical heroes would have considered themselves heroes, but just trusting in god without knowing gods purpose .

@SoundEngraver Год назад

One of Bishop Barron's best! We see the coming of Christ as the ultimate Hero's Journey.

@Barbaramamato Год назад

I'm learning to say to myself as Bishop does, Woe to me if I do not proclaim the Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ. Praying daily often many times a day, making daily Mass a priority, listening often during the day to where God is speaking through moments in the day, through fellow Christians, and in the Scriptures. May God please grant me fortitude to make the early morning Mass before beginning my workday. May God bless me with His Holy peace of a wholy integrated life of non nisi Te Domini. May God graciously provide His patience that I may, in humility, completely, thoroughly, trust in Him. May I, by and in His divine will, know and do the will of God, loving God above all and willing the good of others as others.

@jean-guydallaire6527 Год назад

After listening to "Go on a Hero's Journey" with Bishop Barron and three times repeated, I have to say for myself that it is another very special sermon that makes us realize how close to God's, our life's journey is patterned... after all, He is our maker! Thank you for another excellent and inspritional explaination.

@margitrujillo6943 Год назад

What a marvelous look at our ‘great adventure’ through the Biblical lens…Thanks once more, Bishop Barron, for opening the horizons of faith for me!

@kevinmarshall353 Год назад

Not sure if this is a sign of a "hero's journey" beginning in my life, but as of late I haven't found any peace in continuing with my engineering degree, and I haven't found any peace in discerning priesthood, but all of a sudden the thought came into my head the other day, "Why not go to medical school?" Completely out of the blue. Please say some prayers. This will take expedient discerning as I'm in my last year of my engineering undergrad

Hello Bishop Barron. Greetings from Thailand. To me, this is one of the most powerful sermons. Been listening to it for 4 times in a row. It answers one of the hardest questions of why I am here and why there are so many horrible things I have to go through. Now I think I know why. Thank you so much for saving me today. Thank you

@150WPR Год назад

I believe that in the Hebrew bible there is not Faith but the word Trust as you said so well. Thanks again for a homily well done.

@brettgurda1356 Год назад

Bishop Barron, I have been following you and Jordan Peterson for quite some time. I think in one of your discussions, Peterson said the church does not call it’s young people to adventure. This homily is what young Catholics desperately need. Call us forth from our hobbit holes. Challenge us. Hold us accountable. Talk about the stakes. Heaven. Hell. And to go a step further… Point out postmodernism for the evil that it is. Combat with societal ills. Don’t let up. Make the pitch to the laity like you’re recruiting for battle. We live in an age of wolves and shattered shields. Christendom is no more. And in an age of relativism, orthodoxy is the last rebellion. The enemy gains ground by the day. So rally the troops. God bless you Bishop Barron. Amazing homily. Amazing take on the heroes journey and juxtaposing it to our faith.

@Lagunaticmom Год назад

I have listened 3 times now and will again. I can’t quite grasp the deepest idea of the Creator setting aside his glory & power to become a slave, a servant, a rescuer. No matter how many times I have heard this verse, there is a depth I can’t seem to hold on to….and maybe that’s the way it should be. Praise to the Lord of all. 🙏🙏🙏

Bishop Barron has been a huge help over the years. Even when I've found myself sucked down weird rabbit holes I've come back to Bishop Barron and others as paragons of sanity.

@johngeibel9256 Год назад

This struck home. I have been wondering about the term belief in God because I do not believe, I know God exists. In pondering this, I realized my faith was in trusting and believing that God is good and loving. And then Bishop Barron brings me this sermon to substantiate my recent thoughts on this. In a very small way, I took a journey that at first was a bit daunting. I volunteered to be a eucharistic minister at a hospital. My initial thoughts were: first was I worthy to even do this and secondly how do I approach patients and what do I say? I prayed to God and the Holy Spirit for guidance and many times the appropriate words came to me and I know they were not mine. So your hero's journey may happen not in some distance land, but in your own backyard.

Hello Bishop Barron! I really love how you’re sharing with us these deep Latin terms and explaining them in depth. I’m a music historian and my Medieval classes were my favorite because of the lovely deep terms I can into contact with. That’s where I learned about beauty, truth and goodness and found clear direction in my life. Now being a special needs mom, I feel God’s leading my family and me on this great adventure. What a beautiful way you have of explaining this! Thank you now and forever! May God bless you and everyone at Word On Fire! 🔥❤️

@DebraHeylen Год назад

@andrewwoodward4815 Год назад

What a moving Sunday Sermon! "Our faith, our trust in God, is an imitation of His (Christ's) willingness to go on the hero's journey. Because he did it, we can do it." I never thought of trusting in God's providence in my own life as an imitation of Christ's love for us. That makes me think of the dismissal at Mass as our calling to a kind of spiritual "hero's journey". Christ "became sin" to bring us life through His salvation, and we are called to the Divine life - to trust in Him - and sent forth on a mission to give of ourselves "semper maior" through self-emptying love, as He did. Thank you Bishop Barron for a beautiful sermon and connecting all of the dots (as always)!

10:04 “The god who awakens faith is the god who awakens adventure” This sermon is for anyone who was waiting for God to tell them to get up and do it! People of prayer have faith/ trust/ confidence in the Lord that he will guide you if you follow his call obediently. “Only faith can guarantee the blessings we hope for, or prove the existence of the realities that at present remain unseen” Hebrews 11:1 The full reading for Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time is Hebrews 11:1-2, 8-19 Thank you Lord for this Sermon and this RU-vid channel and for Bishop Barron 🙏🏻 I have just started reading the Word on Fire Bible and it is amazing! Praise the Lord for Bishop Barron’s gift to open the scriptures to our hearts.
