Lord, Teach Us to Pray - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon
Friends, we have the great privilege this week of reading, in our Gospel, Luke’s account of the Lord’s Prayer. This is a very sacred moment: Jesus himself—not just a spiritual guru or someone we admire, but the very Son of God—teaches us how to pray. And we become so familiar…
All Things Must Pass - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, George Harrison once sang, “All things must pass; all things must pass away.” Almost every major religious figure and philosopher the world over has intuited this great truth about our world. It’s good, and there are good things in it—a beautiful sunset, an enjoyable meal, a great conversation—but they…
Lad dig ikke lokke af hovmodet
Biskop Robert Barron reflekterer over hovmodet som menneskets grundlæggende åndelige problem og ydmygheden som dets modgift. Med udgangspunkt i Lukasevangeliet forklarer han, hvordan hovmodet lukker mennesket inde i sig selv, mens ydmygheden åbner det for virkeligheden, Gud og andre mennesker.

Faith Without Works Is Dead - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, “fools rush in where angels fear to tread”—and this week, I am going to go once more into the issue of faith and works, which has been dividing Western Christianity since the Reformation. Our second reading from the Letter of James is a key text on this issue, and…
CATHOLICISM - Bishop Barron on Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
Friends, before she died at age twenty-four on September 30, 1897, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux remarked, “I want to spend my heaven in doing good on earth.” Her intercessory power has been manifested in the lives of many, including my own. The Little Flower has been a personal friend for…
The Hubris of Man, the Humility of God – Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, our second reading, a passage from the second chapter of Paul to the Philippians, is one of the master texts in the New Testament. It’s not only ancient and poetic but also substantive; indeed, in some ways, it lays out the whole of Christianity. Adapting an early Christian hymn,…
You Belong to the Lord – Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, our Gospel for this Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time is the familiar story of Peter asking the Lord how many times he should forgive his brother: “As many as seven times?” Jesus responds, “Not seven times but seventy-seven times.” I want to get at this passage by looking at…
What Are the Signs of the Holy Spirit? - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, on this Sixth Sunday of Easter, the Church gives us a kind of foretaste of Pentecost. In all three readings, we hear descriptions of the work of the Holy Spirit—the animating principle of the Mystical Body. What are the signs that the Holy Spirit is at work? Let’s look…
The Church Prevails – Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, for this Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Church brings us once again, with Jesus and the disciples, to Caesarea Philippi, and to a famous question: “Who do you say that I am?” The main characters in this endlessly fascinating scene are Jesus and Peter, and whenever the focus…
Kristus er den barmhjertige samaritaner
Med udgangspunkt i lignelsen om den barmhjertige samaritaner forklarer biskop Barron, hvordan Kirkefædrene så fortællingen som et billede på menneskets fald og frelse. Samaritaneren er Kristus, der helbreder menneskets sår, mens herberget symboliserer Kirken og sakramenterne.
A Tiny Whispering Voice – Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, in my evangelical work online, I often encounter people who are skeptical of religion and dismissive of its claims. I usually ask them: How do we explain the intelligibility of the world or our ability to understand it? How about objective values and our ability to recognize them? Our…
Jesus Sees Something in You - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, on this Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Gospel is about Jesus sending the Twelve on a mission. Whenever we hear about the Twelve, it’s the Church in seminal form. And here’s what I want to focus on: Whom does Jesus call to be his apostles? Not the best…

Why Was Jesus Baptized? - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord is exceptionally important. All four Gospels talk about it, and John the Baptist is a kind of door we have to go through to understand Jesus properly. What was John the Baptist doing in the desert? Why did the Messiah, the…
What Life Is All About - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, we come to the Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, and we’re going to finish our reading of the thirteenth chapter of Matthew's Gospel, which deals with the parables. Jesus’s parables cut to the heart of the matter and convey the truth of the kingdom, and the two we hear…
The Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist // Bishop Barron at 2020 Religious Education Congress
For my keynote talk at the 2020 L.A. Religious Education Congress, I spoke about the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Vatican II says that the Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life. However, recent polls show a widespread misunderstanding of the Eucharist and a massive…

Three Questions to Ask Yourself During Lent - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, we come to the holy season of Lent. Pascal said that most of us go through life diverting and distracting ourselves so that we don’t come to terms with the big questions: God, meaning, purpose, eternal life. The Gospel for this week, Luke’s marvelous account of the temptation of…
Do You Want to Be Happy? - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, for the next several weeks, we’re going to be reading in our Gospel from the primal teaching of Jesus: the Sermon on the Mount. And we begin today with a kind of overture to it, which we call the Beatitudes. “Beatitudo” in Latin means “happiness”—the one thing we all…
Are We Saved by Faith Alone? - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, they say that fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Well, today I’m going to rush in to some stormy waters by looking at the central issue of the Protestant Reformation: this issue of faith and works, or faith and the law. Martin Luther famously said that what…
You Can’t Be Neutral About Jesus - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, there is no religious figure anywhere in the religions or philosophies of the world who is stranger, more demanding, more relentless, and more unnerving than Jesus. And therefore the religion attached to Jesus is the strangest of them all. Exhibit A is our Gospel from Matthew 10. What Jesus…
Wait for the Desert to Bloom - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, today we come to the third Sunday of Advent, and the great image from Isaiah is that of the blooming desert. Many of us pass through desert times, dry periods of trial and training. But perhaps the Lord has drawn us into the desert to awaken a deeper sense…
Go to Joseph - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, we come to the wonderful Feast of the Holy Family. Over the years on this feast day, I’ve certainly preached on the dynamics of the Holy Family, on Mary, and of course on the Lord, but I don't think I’ve ever focused on St. Joseph. Well, that ends today.…
Are You Revolving Around God—Or God Around You? - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon
Friends, for this Thirtieth Sunday of Ordinary Time, we are treated to the wonderful and deeply challenging parable of the Pharisee and the publican from Luke 18. We are meant to see in this deceptively simple story a basic and clarifying principle in the spiritual order—namely, that the ego is…

Christianity, History, and the Modern Age: A Conversation With Tom Holland

The Enduring Relevance of St. Thomas Aquinas
Friends, most in contemporary secular culture have probably never heard of the name “Thomas Aquinas.” However, his thought remains more pertinent than ever—not only to theology and philosophy but also to current conversations on how to build a more stable, just, and prosperous political order. Today, we discuss the evergreen…
Knowing Jesus Personally
Friends, Christians often speak of “having a personal relationship with Christ” or “knowing Jesus personally,” but what does this actually mean? Is it possible? How do we go beyond knowing about Christ to truly knowing him? That’s what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today’s “Word on Fire Show.” A…

The Apostle of the Blood of Christ: St. Catherine of Siena
Friends, on this feast of St. Catherine of Siena, I invite you to watch the “Pivotal Players” episode about her life and vocation. Though this fourteenth-century mystic and Doctor of the Church never studied theology, and in fact never formally learned how to read or write, her life constitutes a…
The Power of Prayer - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon
Friends, when something tragic happens and people offer their prayers, you’ll often hear now, “I've had it with thoughts and prayers. We have to act.” In some extreme cases, people of prayer are mocked, as though prayer is just something completely ineffectual that we should leave behind in favor of…
Why Mary Matters - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, on this Fourth Sunday of Advent, we come to the Advent figure par excellence: the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. What I want to do in this homily is to look at some of the Church’s classical titles of Mary. These are not simply pious exclamations, but…
Bishop Barron Responds to His Critics
Friends, there’s something about the Internet that increases the intensity of vitriolic criticism.

In addition, a listener asks:…
