God’s Warrior Queen - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon

[@Stillwater23-q5r]

Thank you Bishop for your insight that brings deeper understanding, God bless you and God bless Mother Mary

[@agathakesselmann2356]

Bishop Baron I remember reading the passage about the dragon and it did have quite an impact on me after that I have always looked at the world as Mary’s domain to protect we have this wonderful ozone layer that just happens to be blue and white the colors for Mary and the water and the earth and all of us she’s there protecting us yes and she say through the church however your sermon today was so insightful I think I listened to it about five times and the Tojo vabohu I have never Heard that word before I looked it up and this is the battle to stand up to with Mary I will make more of an effort to pray the rosary more it is Mary’s weapon when prayed .I love our church

When I pray the Rosary, I know that our Blessed Mother has her mantle wrapped around me. "Hail Mary, full of Grace..."

[@vuhoang7109]

I've been praying the Rosary for a few years now and has been feeling very peaceful, knowing that when you see the things that has happened around the world, that there's a higher, superior realm that has control of it all, guiding us through, unimaginable. But I feel like I haven't been ever praying enough, as Scriptures has said, "pray unceasingly, for the sake of the Kingdom of God!"

[@garyreid6438]

I am going to say Pray for me Mother Mary that I may live the rest of my day's here on earth. I may serve God in every way possible. Thank you Lord Jesus for dying for me a sinner.

[@paulobaptista6026]

Bishop Barron, God’s spirit is with you. This message resonates with me. I love love that story of King David dancing with all abandonment in the presence of God, for God, like the rejoicing of the poor widow when she would find her lost coin. Let me share a technique I use to open up conversation about God and faith. Anytime I meet someone who hints at bible knowledge I always ask them, not for their favorite scripture quote, but rather their favorite story. We humans were creates by God to love and remember stories. I love to share this story of David dancing in front of the ark, stripped down, humbled in front of God’s people. What a model for us! Thank you Bishop for connecting that story with Mary. I now have a longer story to tell. Grace to you Bishop. May God give you the gift of prophecy.

[@annefalola9278]

Thank you Bishop Barron for this profound homily. We often say Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant without getting into the true meaning of this. Your homily provides us a good meditation. The metaphor of this Ark accompanying us the ‘battle’ is very healing. The image of God who cares for the entire creation, even those we think do not deserve God’s care is very challenging. In my work with Muslims, Mary is one of our great meeting point. A whole Sura 19 of the Quran is dedicated to Mary, She is the only woman mentioned the the Islamic sacred book. We once went on a pilgrimage with Muslims from Northern Nigeria to the ‘house of Mary’ in Ephesus, modern day Turkey. A deep spiritual experience. There were Franciscan looking after the shrine, even though Turkey is a Muslim country today. The love for Mary can help us win many battles, including the battle against religious fundamentalism which is eating our world like cancer. Any shrine of Mary draw people together, it is so heart warming, so touching always. May we follow Mary to be Christ Bearer to this broken world. Happy feast of theAssumption of our ever Sweet Mother!

[@SuperDiamondMind]

Blessings Bishop Barron. It would be difficult to exaggerate the impact of thus sermon. I have always been very surface with the assumption. OK, Mary rose to heaven. Hail Mary, enjoy eternity. Hope to see you someday. EXACTLY as you portrayed this inclination. I've inadvertently denied the power of this mystery in my day to day. Thank you!

We are HIS warriors fighting the enemy at every turn. Wear your armor daily good and faithful people and do NOT be afraid to fight the enemy. Blessings to you all!

[@anniebanderet]

@@kelechukwuanozyk7605 No, I am not Catholic, but as a lifelong Protestant theolog who has read and studied the Church fathers and mystics in considerable detail, I am leaning heavily this way. I have been reading and listening to Bishop Barron since before he began Word on Fire. I think he is more than capable of offering his own replies and appreciation for comments offered. I wish you every blessing.

[@anniebanderet]

@@johnsposato5632 yes, it has been a long journey, beginning with time as an oblate in monasteries, taking and eventually giving the spiritual exercises, and long conversations with my SD, who is a priest. My family founded a Presbyterian church, so it’s a big move! But having said that, it’s very hard to be a keen student of theology and church history and not be increasingly drawn in to the fullness of the faith.

[@johnsposato5632]

@@anniebanderet As a cradle Catholic I admire the grit and determination necessary for your journey. I am thankful that I was "born into" the faith. I'm not certain I would have had the courage to make such a trip. But as I typed that thought, the Holy Spirit reminds me that only grace makes such things possible. May God continue to grant you that grace!

I went to a Spanish Mass this evening. I didn't understand the homily because I don't speak Spanish. So I saw your homily on silent with the captions. Luckily he gave a homily as long as yours. The rest of the Mass was in Spanish also but The Mass is The Mass no matter the language. The rest I was able to figure out. The closing of The Mass was awesome we chanted the Salve Regina and that's always the same and it was amazing.

Too much, I said, as I found myself in Medjugorje. A Franciscan said, 'don't you know that what God did for Mary, He wants to do for you? Mary is God's prototype, His dream for His creatures. He wants to have you birth God in your life;, He wants you to be immaculate; He wants you to be totally surrendered to His plan for creation, your individual part.'

[@josephthompson607]

I'm kind of a questioning protestant right now. Typically, I am struggling to understand the Catholic view of Mary. I know there is no worship of Mary. But there is a very high veneration for her. But the idea of Mary as the ark of the covenant clears up a lot of things. As the ark, she holds God's word. But she is not the word herself. But as the ark, she participates in His glory. The ark was greatly feared and for great reason, but it was only so fearsome because of God's word inside it.

[@annarodriguez9868]

God warned that no one should ever touch the Ark and one person with good intentions touched it and he dropped dead. What is the fate of those who do not respect and show reverence to the Mother of the Son of God? May God have mercy on them.

[@kelechukwuanozyk7605]

Thank you. Please teach that to your fellow Protestants especially those of them who spread lies and hate about Mary, mother of God

[@mcspankey4810]

I’m an ex new ager/occultist, once I came to Jesus I was an anti-Catholic Protestant, but once I read the early church fathers writings and attended the Mass, I was immediately drawn to the rosary. Mary will only ever tell you to do whatever her Son asks - Praise be His holy name ❤️

[@azCatherine]

Dear Joseph. We were in the same boat many years ago!! The first time we walked into a Catholic Church and heard the Rosary being prayed we were almost shocked…. So much repetition! But we have come to love Mary for her Yes to God- we see her as the first Christian and I often meditate on her words at Cana “Do whatever He tells you!” I will pray for you in your journey! (PS Now we pray the rosary every day!!)

Thank you Bishop Barron. This was inspired. God, the Father in his mercy, swallows up the tohu wa-bohu. He defends us through her. I was reminded that St Edith Stein's understanding (& acceptance) of the Eucharist was paved by way of the 'Tent of Meeting'; which fired a desire and fresh hope that there was so much more...landing perfectly in the Body and Blood offered to the Father each day. Should this ever come to your attention, I would love to hear a teaching on the Jeremiah 31:22...'a woman shall encompass a man'...if this has any bearing on Mary's participation in our redemption? I often find myself chasing this verse as a dog its tail.
