Be a Saint! - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

Friends, we have the privilege of continuing to read from the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus himself lays out his basic teaching. What we find today is Jesus as the new Moses. Like Moses, he goes up on a mountain, and he receives and then gives a new Law. But Jesus intensifies the Law of Moses; he wants its corrective power to go beyond merely the behavioral level and to get down to the level of the heart. We are not called to spiritual mediocrity; we are called to be saints!

LOVE Paul , servant of Jesus Christ, wrote to all God's beloved in Rome, who are called to be saints: 'Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbour has fulfilled the law. The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other commandment, are summed up in this sentence, "You shall love your neighbour as yourself." Love does no wrong to a neighbour; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.' (Romans 13 : 8 - 10)

[@johnkrajewski5395]

Whew, oh my gosh, Bishop to work towards that is that mean we are Divinized to our Lord ? I was really moved. Powerful

[@imnotanalien7839]

I am struggling thru Martin Luther’s commentary on St. Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians, but I think Martin Luther repeats what you are saying…first faith in Christ and then because you love Christ you do the good works(laws). He keeps repeating that theme… but you said it in a similar way. I know ML didn’t stay Catholic …. but he seemed to be a devout Scripture reader. It’s hard to get everything exactly straight…but I’m trying. ♥️✝️. This was another good sermon by Bishop Barron.

Pray for all the children being raised without Jesus in their home.

[@matty301]

As I'm learning how to live as a Christian, it's easier to say these things than to live by them. To not lust in this day and age is almost impossible. But if that's what Christ has called us to do then I must. We aren't just called to listen but to act and become an example of Christ as I am slowly learning. Thanks, Bishop Barron for the sermon!

[@SAlbrecht74]

So true! Well said and good luck with the journey!

[@raphaelkimani2538]

It never easy but praying with the Virgin Mary always can eradicates evil in us and praying meditatively, that's what I think.

[@janemahon9912]

A beautiful sermon, Bishop Barron. It calls all of us to be more like Christ. It seems so hard most of the time. I know that I don't pray enough. As I grow older sexual thoughts are not as troubling. But prayer refreshes the soul and keeps me more in touch with Jesus and His goals for my life rather than my goals for my life.

7 criteria for a just war and thus Bishop Barron can't think of one war that was just; not even the unialation of the Jews? We should have let Hitler have his way? I'm confused. All our WW II veterans died in an unjust war? Help me out, what am I missing here?

Not to belabor this...but the point is that along with free will, God also gave us brains to use to discern things. ...and avoid going blindly through life without questioning anything. Bishop Barron wouldn't want you to that either....so it's ok to question him if he says something you disagree with. He is human you know.

Jesus and His church ask us to be perfect which seems impossible but then makes the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist and the examples of the Saints available to us to make it possible for us to become saints. Thank you Lord for your Church and for Bishop Barron.

“Be Perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect”…… a tall order which I can only attain through You, dear Lord and Your transformative grace.

There is a distinction between those contending with imperfection and those who willfully want to “slip into the Church and use God’s mercy as an excuse to sin,” as the letter of Jude warns us… That’s why the first work of the Holy Spirit is Conversion…

How to deal with failure. How profound. To reach for God, To give our hearts to God and still know when our sinful humanity lowers us into sin, Jesus will find us there to bring us up again. What a gift. Infinite Mercy and Love. May we never separate from the Body of Christ, may we never separate from the Church. May we always know and see. May we never leave others behind. It’s all our sins, humanities, and since others can’t see, we need to help, with God’s grace, bring the sinful back up. May we show others Jesus will find us even in our dysfunction. To Never give up, never loose faith. Never loose Love. Let’s deal with failure, Ours and everyone else’s. Let’s help others with their crosses. Let’s help carry the pain so they can see Jesus. With God’s Love, Charity, patience, humility, joy, kindness, caring, with giving our love to others, to reach Jesus there. Heavenly Father, help us become one, help us love one another, let others see You in ourselves, help us participate in your eternal grace. We are yours. We are willing and and love you. Amen
