Friends, we’re getting very close to Pentecost, the great feast of the descent of the Spirit. And on this Sixth Sunday of Easter, the Church gives us three readings that are hinting at the Holy Spirit-a kind of foretaste of that descent.
Mass Readings:
Reading 1 - Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48
Psalm - Ps 98:1, 2-3, 3-4
Reading 2 - 1 Jn 4:7-10
Gospel - Jn 15:9-17

I have followed you, Bishop Baron, ever since “Catholicism” PBS shows. I used to think how courageous is this priest. You strengthened my faith. But till this day i still think… Who are you? Every time i listen to you, even though i have heard the readings so many times before, i learn and rejoice in the new message you provide. You are full of the holly spirit. God bless you.

I will pray for you at this most difficult time. The love you have had with your husband makes the pain of losing him worthwhile. God is LOVE. Hold on to that during this time of suffering!

[62] And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. [63] And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all. [64] And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God. [65] And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea. Luke 1 : 62-65 Peace be upon you. I hope you ask the priest what the 8-day-old boy did so that the mountains of Judea would talk about him and those present would marvel at him. 4. Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his country, among his relatives, and in his own house.” 5. And he was not able to do any power there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. (Mark, 6) Why couldn't Christ perform a miracle?

Lord I know you have a purpose for me. Even though at times I do not understand. I have complete trust in you Heavenly Father. Being a single mom with two children with special needs is overwhelming at times. Every month is a struggle to get by. But as I struggle to pay rent and as I struggle to buy groceries for my children. I keep faith. Faith is all I have left. I WILL NEVER STOP TRUSTING THE LORD. God give me strength. 💕

A lot of times when I say the rosary, I say it with Bishop Barron. I have some of his books and it’s amazing when I read the words, I hear him, his cadence and the way he speaks come through to me. I am one of the lucky ones, who now can call him MY bishop… he is now Bishop of my diocese. How we are blessed!!

@charlottefasi3557 16 дней назад

I’ve just discovered Bishop Baron. What a preacher and more so teacher. The presentation on Thomas Aquinas blew me away. It met the listener rather than impressed the listener like my professor who introduced Thomas Aquinas long ago. Bishop Baron wishes to instruct and impart knowledge, share knowledge and above all instill the confidence to grasp it and make it one’s own. I hope teachers and professors are observing how Bishop Baron so modestly and simply presents his subject. I recall facing philosophy class with such trepidation. Thank you so much , Bishop Baron for making philosophy for everyone.

This homily reenforces what is true about our faith. There should be no grumpy Catholics. Joy is a sign for all to see the Holy Spirit is behind and in the works we perform for our brothers and sisters. This is truly an indication of love blended together with joy.

@paulrubio3918 16 дней назад

Thanks be to God for another insightful homily. Bishop Barron masterfully reminds us that the Holy Spirit is the result of God's love, and keeping in step with the Holy Spirit, we are called to be the manifestation of the love God experiences in the Trinity. And we should be filled with joy that God, Who, in the words of St. Thomas Aquinas, enjoys Himself, is dwelling in us through the Holy Spirit, the result of His love.

@sandyv2195 17 дней назад

Bishop, I've been listening to and learning from your wonderful homilies and other teachings for years now, but this is truly one of your best. Thank you for sharing God's gifts to you with the world. May he bless you to continue to do so for many years to come.

@aurorauplinks 17 дней назад

There are many gifts God gives his servants when it is needed something greater. Sometimes the gift is just the ability to inspire people to not feel alone, or hopeless, but to have a reason to see a new day, and to do so with love in their hearts, faith and truth in their mind.

@valeriocritelli6714 18 дней назад

A very good sermon on the existence of the Holy spirit in a Christian. You are validating the existence of the Spirit through the gift of joy.

@user-bc4vn6gn4k 17 дней назад

It seems the Christian notions of joy is different than secular notions of joy in many ways. I believe Mother Teresa was always joyful - even doing very difficult work; and all the while being in a spiritual "Dark Night of the Soul" she remained Happy to serve God and the poor.

God I am a sinner. Have mercy on me.

@antonioborriello5287 17 дней назад

Billy, yes we are all sinners. But please keep this in mind: Yes, God loves you, even though you constantly sin...BUT, that really isn't the question....the question for you, for all of us, is... do we love God, how much do we love God?! Meaning...God loves us even though we offend him, but what do we do to try and give that love back? Do we do EVERYTHING we can, do we ask him ..to make us stop offending Him. We expect Him to 'give us the gifts' to 'do something for us' to help us stop sinning...but do we submit to Him do we do our part to chase after Him instead of that sin we are attached to?? There is no way we can do it ourselves, on our own...we have to truly, truly, truly, in our hearts, enough that it might kill us, to turn away from that sin. Remember, there are those who say 'God loves me anyway'....well then, He does, but at the end He is going to say you chose that over me. Keep fighting, keep trying and He will accept that, you will be His..'live in the Holy Spirit's not in the darkness 'on my own I can do nothing, but with you, I can do everything!'. "JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU" - please look up Divine Mercy devotion

I believe that the Holy Spirit calms me enough to write or speak the words that need to be said. Otherwise, I struggle with it. What's funny about that to me is that I graduated with a bachelor of arts in communication-theater with a minor in psychology. It was Grace that helped me meet people in my work experiences to receive a Master's Degree in Organizational Psychology with a focus on Educational Leadership. How do I get to use it? Operating a shuttle at a busy airport. And that's more Grace. That's how I'm relating to this homily. Thank you, Bishop Barron.

@josefperry3836 17 дней назад

When we see joyous groups of people today we immediately wonder whether they're all drunk or high on something. That's exactly what skeptics thought when they saw Peter and the apostles on Pentecost Day two millenniums ago. (Acts 2:13.) In his reflection on the three readings, Bishop Barron zeroes in on the one phenomenon that will baffle skeptics today -- joy. (I Thess: 5:16.)

@user-gl9jd3ih8h 18 дней назад

Warm greetings from Australia 🦘 Absolutely brilliant and inspiring homily! Why, oh why can't we hear these types of homilies in my local parish? Thank God for Bishop Barron and RU-vid! There is a real hunger for Catholic spiritual knowledge. Priests need to lift their game.

@sandyv2195 17 дней назад

Totally agree. I'm a lifetime practicing Catholic (now almost 70), and unfortunately a majority of parish priests deliver lukewarm, insipid homilies week after week, taking the greatest Good News ever told and making it--of all things--boring! 😱 So sad. People hunger to hear good preaching, to understand how to apply the scriptures to living out the Christian faith on a daily basis. If that were provided weekly in every Catholic church, the pews would be packed instead of half empty. 😢

@user-gl9jd3ih8h 17 дней назад

@@sandyv2195 thank you Sandy! Yes, totally agree. I have only just returned to the Catholic faith about 6 months ago (I'm a convert from last century!). However going to Church has been disappointing at times. Dealing with other Catholics has also been disappointing. Sorry for sounding negative. There is a lack of enthusiasm and passion. There is a lack of Catholic knowledge. Education is generally left to the devices of the individual. Eg. The Catholic Church has RCIA programs but NO programs for reintegration of reformed/reverted Catholics. I think that's bizarre. Some of the great Catholic RU-vid resources are Fr. Chris Alar and Dr. Brant Pitre.
