Bishop Barron’s West Point Address

[@alicemcpherson7961]

I could listen to Barron Bishop all day. I love his sermons.

[@brendonbasiga]

I needed to hear this, today. Once again, Bishop Barron knocks the ball out of the park. Thank you Most Reverend Bishop Barron.

[@chrisortigoza8894]

God's truly gifted preacher!

[@nixonjohn934]

Bishop. Barron, you leave me speechless in awe each time I hear you. May our almighty and merciful God continue to bless you. Amen.

[@locksleyrobinson4425]

Thank you Bishop Barron, the team and the benefactors for your faithfulness and generosity in helping us to to experience light, life, and truth in the Word of God. Thank you all.

[@allhatnocattle]

I found this talk to be particularly moving, maybe because I could sense the attention of the audience. It touched on serious matters that any thinking soldier in training, and their leaders think about. Thank you, Bishop , for your sensitivity, your compassion, and your gift of self to the church.

[@TheMDelima]

Thank you Bishop Barron for allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through you, loud and clear!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I am not a solider, rather a humble woman living in the prairie region of Canada ('flyover country'), & fighting with chronic illness. But this speech was exceedingly moving & inspirational to me. Thank you, Bishop Barron.

[@TheKatawebb]

Bishop Barron is truly a gifted speaker. I too want to dance with reckless abandon for Our Lord. What a beautiful beautiful phrase. God bless you even more.

[@susanmoore3013]

Fantastic and timely! I would love to have a written copy of this to put on my refrigerator for daily reading for a while. For the Lord has given me plenty to do, and when I just get up and do it I have great joy in my life. But when I stop and think about it all I feel overwhelmed. The way I cure myself of the uncomfortable feeling of overwhelm is too busy myself and my mind with unrelated things. Now that I see this about myself I will get up and go to adoration, and then come back and continue to do the will of God. I'll do this for 24 hours, a reasonable amount of time, and then listen to this homily again and go again for another 24 hours.

[@felicitasarroyo5345]

I love to listen to Bishops Robert Barron.very interesting to listen to him god bless him.

[@grantbakewell5014]

26:40ff "Where you stumble, there you dig for treasure". Thank you for this eloquent insight. As a priest with a cognitive disability this continues to speak to me, personally and professionally. But as a follower of Jesus, and his way of peace (and the way of the first 100+ years of Church history), may I offer again His way of peace through the nonviolent cross as the "treasure" we must now diligently seek? During my lifetime, I have seen my church make lame excuses for unjust wars, and my nation stumble through the dropping of two atomic bombs on innocent civilians--thus beginning, and still leading (unabated!) a worldwide nuclear arms race which has already irradiated our soldiers ("Operation Smokey"), our sailors (Bikini atol, and Micronesia) and many US citizens and noncombattants right here at home. I have also seen us repeatedly, lamentably stumble terribly over one needless, unethical, or unjust war after another, from Vietnam to Iraq. Isn't it finally time for all of us to truly get on our knees in worship at the foot of the Cross (and not the sword which looks like a cross at the entrance to West Point chapel), and to seek the real treasure of true justice, reconciliation, and peace through Christ, the Prince of Peace? Old Testament warriors may give us metaphorical models of struggling faithfully with our personal dysfunctions or "demons" so that we might be made worthy of heaven, but the way of Jesus, the way of love--even of enemies--through His nonviolent cross, can, even now, make us worthy servants of heaven on earth, even God's new creation in Christ. You have spoken often of the nonviolence of Jesus, and even of God. May you now offer this path fully--in practice as well as theory--to our soldiers, and fellow citizens: to lay down our swords, pick up the cross, and follow the way of Jesus into a more peaceable and sustainable life for our children, at least until He comes again in glory to bring true justice and peace! Thank you.

[@STRENGTHFROMABOVE]

Today, God is about to flatten out some mountains: mountains of depression, mountains of insecurity, mountains of addiction. Problems that look permanent are about to be turned into molehills-no more sign of them, nothing stopping you, nothing keeping you from your destiny. It may look like things could never change, but there’s no mountain God can’t move. There’s no wall He can’t break through. It may not have happened yet, but this is a new day. God is doing a new thing. Thanks for reading, we are a new and growing channel, every support is a blessing. Thanks and God bless you.

So good to see you at West Point in October, Bishop Barron! It was my first visit there as well, and your presence was an unexpected -- and pleasant -- surprise. Continued blessings on your ministry.

[@Loltome]

This is an awesome message: it is the voice of God through His servant… thank you. 🙏🏾

[@belinabergendahl4665]

Bishop Barron, I enjoyed your enlightening talk to the cadets and visitors at West Point. I've visited the place several times as my husband was a former US Navy Veteran who fought during the Korean War. We used to enjoy concerts, ball games or just dining at the Thayer. Being a Catholic gave me a lot of introspection

[@emmanueldansoabeam718]

[@bobmcconville1384]

Bishop, thank you for your message, very powerful, and all you do for the Church. I pray the rosary for you every day. God bless and keep you. Ave Maria!

[@msgoody2shoes959]

Dear Catholics if anyone asks you if you are Christian please for the love of our savior say yes I am. Being asked if you are a Christian is not the same as asking if you are a protestant or if you are saved. Being a Christian is just a matter of whether or not you believe in Jesus Christ, as Lord and Savior, and for that, you do. Please do not be afraid to say you are a Christian and that if anyone asks about your thoughts on salvation, mention you were saved through Christ-as He fullfills prophecies in the OT, are being saved through Christ's daily mercy and forgiveness of personal sin, and will be saved, united with Him, if He so wills it.

[@trinityangel1406]

Thank you - I do and agree with you🙂! Peace be with you🕊

What and excellent and educational talk! This helped me further understand key figures of the Old Testament, and gain insight into principles of behaviour. Thank you Bishop Barron.

Thank you Bishop, that was dynamite! I really needed to hear that to blast me upward on my Spiritual path. 🙏

[@lizmiddleton2382]

That was a lovely lesson about 3 great people of Israel!! Thank you for the explanation 😊

[@blaiseeisenbeil5617]

Bishop Barron, you might have done so as an instinct, but it was pretty neat to see you clutch your pectoral cross when describing how you chose the path of radical love. How appropriate and thoughtful.

[@deliamillanes7141]

Profound. Thank you Bishop. 🙏🏼

[@maryannelinsell3506]

Wow! If you won’t listen to all of this video, go to about 16 minutes and listen to God’s message to Peter. Thank you for sharing God’s words with us during these troubling times! Thank you, God, in all Your designs.

Trust the wisdom of the tradition

[@JohnR.T.B.]

Regarding the story of Saul, Samuel, and the Amalekites; I truly agree with your interpretation Bishop. My view on the story is that, it started to go wrong when Israel demanded a king for themselves, they rejected God as their King (1 Sam 8: 7). The people of Israel also didn't know what kingship of the Lord is in the truest sense when warned by Samuel (1 Sam 8: 10-20). So with their own king, the king must now do what God does, so God tasked Saul to punish the Amalekites for their past wrongdoings, sins. And here is my take, that the only one who can punish humans for their sins is God, and with perfect justice. Saul, along with all who were judges or leaders before him and kings or rulers after him, were only humans. God has His divine ways of bringing sinful people to justice, and the results of sins are indeed "death" (and I believe "death" for sins in the Bible is in the language of Genesis 2 when God says, "for in the day that you eat of it you shall die", it's not death in the literal sense, but a separation from God which is the eternal separation, or the "second death"). And so since Saul is now "king", he and the people would need to bring justice to sins which they can only achieve in the human ways, utter destruction, and even then Saul didn't do it accordingly because he kept what is good in his own eyes; and hence Saul was rejected by God.

Twice here as well as in previous talks the recommendation to enter spiritual direction has been given. It doesn't seem to be an easy thing to do, though.

[@ghrohrs2025]

At 30:30, Bishop Barron explains that healing is often difficult because something inside of us often protests, preferring our deviance. This immediately took me back to C. S. Lewis's "The Great Divorce". In it is a profound scene when a soul is being confronted by their angel who wishes to kill a little lizard on the conflicted soul's shoulder. The lizard tries mightily to disuade the soul from giving up the (dysfunction) the lizard. The angel remains incistant to allow it to kill this creature of torment once and for all. It's exactly what the Bishop proclaims. God and the angels break into this world to bring hope and humility and healing, even when our emotions protest. "Dig where you stumble". Leopracy is the lizard we must allow to be killed for good. That which keeps us from fully accepting God's will is our enemy. Be a warrior for Christ and "ban" whatever it is that holds you back from embracing the One, true good. Life is too short. God bless the USMA. And God bless America..."one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

[@nickvoutsas5144]

In the greatest moments of pain love conquers and when love conquers the will of God conquers. God pained more than Christ when he endured the pain of our sins and the pain of his crucifixion but the greatest pain was when Jesus cried out "MY GOD MY GOD WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME" . I do not fully understand why God had forsaken Jesus but what I do understand is that Christ's greatest pain also allowed for the resurrection.

[@jeremykwanhongkok4221]

Our military history like the history of the world is centred around Christ and He has called all of us to serve as crusaders of his kingdom. In these darkest hours, we need Christ and brave crusaders who will stand up for the faith and the foundation of Western Civilisation.

We need a return to tradition. Go to a Traditional Latin High Mass at least once if you haven’t already. It may change your life. The rite of almost 2000 years, of martyrs, saints, and Popes spanning this time is being aggressively swept into the dustbin of history.

@@marypinakat8594 Traditionis Custodes heavily restricts the TLM, Cardinal Roche just abolished the traditional form of most of the sacraments. If my parish and many more can now no longer have the TLM because of this, then what am I to think? The Holy father has said that all are to return to the Novus Ordo, which is the unique expression. Is he lying to us? Is he joking?

@@marypinakat8594 yet you did dint you. And thank you for proving my point, you cannot hold an adult conversation without insults. Bully gotta bully, huh. you obviously seek attention by insulting people under bishop Barron videos. Way to show your qualities. Who’s head needs to be looked at?

[@Z.Z.so_what]

@@marypinakat8594 your comments where you calling people slow and idiots were far from what was in the video. So how about you just ignore the comments you might don’t like. Consider it a sacrifice. People are here to communicate, and you are not a comment subject police 😂 . You see some people come here to communicate and the comments are not restricted to the subject in the video. Or otherwise people would just mindlessly quote what bishop Barron said when they can just listen to bishop Barron. It is a bit narrow minded don’t you think. I enjoy discovering new things in the comments. They could be quite intelligent.

Your Excellency Barron, Inalienable Wealth! What is it? Is wealth indestructible? It would be so nice to have a high paid Secretary email you private correspondences on your personal server and physically mail you official well prepaid documentation. But what when the town burns down, or Snow prevents productivity, or the banks go broke? Where do you put the obvious duties that lack the gloss of wealth? I learned when dealing with the poor, I had a heart like everybody else, wanted to save the world from poverty, blah, blah, blah. Naive to think I could save people from a force that predated god. nothingness. But we deal with Europeans all the time who want to know what it is like to be poor. do they really want the answer? There is something worse than being poor, its call being broken. My question is, if Gold is so important and wealth then why do Europeans insist on breaking themselves below poverty to prove they can control a Black man? Like it not my fault the white race feels that way ok.
