The Voice of Conscience - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

Friends, we commence now with the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time, and our first reading is one of my favorites in the Old Testament: the account, in the First Book of Samuel, of the call of Samuel, who as a young man hears the voice of the Lord for the first time. In the history of salvation, in the lives of the saints, occasionally God really does speak in a voice that can be heard, but I think what’s being described here is the word of God in the voice of the conscience, and what to do when we hear it.

Of all the public content released by Bishop Barron, I continue to rely on these Sunday sermons for contemplation. Please keep these coming!

[@OrionOodama]

Likewise.

[@chrispolen2712]

Bishop Barron is such a gift to humanity. I love every sermon.

[@kevinkelly2162]

Nah, he is a flunky in a child abusing organisation.

[@marktaylor2502]

I grew up in an Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Colorado Springs. I was also active in the Young Life program. Once I left home I never went back. I dropped out of college and became a rock-n-roll musician. I tried to find a church every now and then over the years, but none of those protestant churches beckoned me to return. Something that I could not identify was missing. I knew I would fall away so I didn't bother returning. I stumbled upon Bishop Barron while checking out the Apologetics KZbin channel called "Unbelievable?" He was debating a young atheist named Alex O'Connor, aka, The Cosmic Skeptic. Alex seems a good enough chap, but boy did he get taken to the woodshed. As a result of that video I listened/watched every Bishop Barron lecture, video, discussion, debate that I could find on KZbin while I stripped and stained our back fence during the Summer of 2021 (about 3 weeks). After studying many Catholic resources over the next 4 or 5 months I asked a Catholic couple I'd known for decades if I could tag along for Christmas Eve Mass (2021). Something followed me out the door and has been with me since that day. I became a confirmed Catholic at the 2023 Easter Vigil. A friend I've known since age 9 led me to the authentic Jesus Christ. BISHOP BARRON LED ME TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH and for the first time I have a strong relationship with Jesus. Catholicism is a way of life.

*Bishop Barron:* The first Vicar of Christ in the soul is the conscience, the voice of God, the still small voice that communicates to us God's will and purpose.

[@kevinkelly2162]

Nah, that is just you talking to yourself.

[@declancronin437]

@@kevinkelly2162 God is found in silence, in that inner room where only I and God dwells. No need for words.. 🙏

[@30Salmao]

​@@kevinkelly2162 I always doubted this train of thought: "when you ear the voice of conciousness is God". But with time I realize: many times this voice talks to me with wisdom I could not have, with a precision I didn't have. The voice, some times talked what I didn't wanna ear. Then I came to doubt the doubt.

[@EIonMusk1]

Go look up what numerical number for “ the vicar of Christ “ comes to add up too and then leave the pagan Catholic Church

[@RosalindToh]

​@@declancronin437 Be still & know that I am God (Psalm 46:10).

[@angeloguevara4462]

Amen. Once again, thank you, Bishop Barron, for your wonderful Sunday sermon

[@Jack-il3qv]

All right, Lord, I'm ready. Speak, I'm listening and I'm willing to do your will. 1 Thessalonians 4:11 'Do not stand praying in the synagogues and on the street corners like the hypocrites that they may be seen by men.'

[@cindymeyerhofer]

Thank you for this wonderful homily! It is very timely, as I recently retired from a corporate job, and while retirement is amazing, my "Word of God" is encouraging me to consider a job working for the church and the mission to serve God's people. May all God's children take the time to listen to your messages and the voice of God in their conscience and obey.

[@herminiaraagas4128]

We pray fervently that the HOLY SPIRIT is always guiding us.Alleluia!!!

It’s as though this message was shoved in front of me by Christ this morning. Thank God

[@sharonoconnor7769]

Beautiful, my son was just talking about conscience and where it came from according to science, the outcome of your life will be very different depending on your beliefs. I chose God, he knows more than the scientists!

Thank you. God bless

AMEN...THANK YOU BISHOP BARON,GOD BLESS🙏❤️

[@Barbaramamato]

We please God when doing the right thing and offend when we don't.

[@blackskyfrozen1051]

Thank you for your marvellous explanation on the subject of conscience, Bishop Barron. I am one of those who're unsure of what to do when hearing that 'small voice'. But now that I know, I think it will be much easier for me, in the future, to listen carefully and thereafter make the best decisions that will please God. 👍🙏

[@kevinkelly2162]

If you have a conscience, why are you a supporter of child abusers?

[@kiraramikaio3457]

Thank you so much Bishop Barron for your spiritual and beautiful reflection. As always your sermons nourish my spiritual life. Blessings!! ❤❤

[@orion848]

God's voice, or our conscience, is that voice that recalls us to ourselves when we're in danger of losing ourselves.

[@ckeast5588]

Thank you, Bishop Baron for your beautiful homily. The conscious is the voice of the Holy Spirit. You are a gift to all of us. We love you.

[@aimeearnold]

Ready for this battle baby!! Let’s gooooo. Thanks B. Barron!

[@imnotanalien7839]

The parable of Jonah is very funny, it is a great story of God’s never giving up on us. My favorite part of the story is at the end when Jonah once again bolts into an area that is very hot and he is sitting, sweating outside in the sun. And then a vine starts growing right next to him and one of the leaves grows and covers Jonah’s head, to give him shade. God doesn’t give up on us! That is such a sweet part of the story. First you laugh, and then at the end of the story you cry. God is love. ❤️✝️

[@billbraxton7192]

I would find myself falling asleep during mass. Im not perfect, but I gather my strength and pay attention. It's the WHY when it comes to the direction of our attention. Change the why in our hearts through prayer, and it starts to forge into something strong and bold.

[@MaryBlackett-jt4eo]

Thank you Bishop Barron! I raised our girls always with this thought that their conscience was the voice of God. Kept them on the path! Love, love, love your homilies!

[@maxjoannuxoll8229]

Right on Bishop Barron. This is exactly how it is. Thank you God.

[@paulrubio3918]

Samuel came into existence in a remarkable way, and so it's fitting that he would encounter the first revelation of God in a long time. Bishop Barron rightly notes what happens next when God tells Samuel to offer a message of impending judgment. Yet, through his obedience, God works through him, as the final verse in today's first reading indicates.

[@Marcia811]

Thank you, Bishop Barron. I needed to hear this.

[@ForestAOrmes]

Thank you, Bishop Barron. As always, relevant and reverberating.

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it K😟

Here is what I know at least when it comes to me. Whatever plan or scheme I come up isn’t going to work. But if I follow Christ and take up my cross that will lead to success

[@luciArtist_]

I love this story of the Bible a lot! Today, when I listen to this great sermon, it is like a great confirmation to me and the great way to answer God’s call should be:“Speak, Lord. Here I am.” Thank you Fr. Barron for this wonderful homily from God🙏🙏🙏

Thank you Bishop Barron for your lovely sermon It was very interesting. May GOD bless and protect you always. 🙌♥️

[@Sampel2024]

Bishop Barron’s sermons are always pretty useful. Nevertheless, in this very speech, he could of made a link between Hanna and Mary. No one more than Our Lady heard God’s voice thru the counciousness and obeyed it. Saint John Paul II used to refer to the Virgin Mary in all his homilies and the late pope explained that the marian devotion is a powerful instrument in ecumenism.

[@vangojo4u]

Bishop Baron has so many dimensions to be able to tease out the very depths of the meaning(s) in the Gospel is simply amazing and a tremendous gift (to us). Perhaps Bishop Baron is the "voice of God" !? which we should take heed of this day in this sermon?

Take the easy way- Samuel went back to sleep. Like the rest of us. Maybe this is why my mom told me that lying in bed was a sin. How many of us thought it better to stay in bed today instead of going to mass because of the cold and are lying in bed watching this
