Whoever Is Not Against Us Is For Us - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

[@danielcharlebois1626]

I love your homilies, Bishop. As a principal in a Catholic school, I try to take your message each week and spread it to my faculty. Let us let God's grace flow through us!

[@prasadwijeratne.]

God bless you Sir, greetings from Sri Lanka

[@ruthanncarleton5366]

Mucho spiritual wisdom and truth.

[@markchin8256]

May St. John Baptist de La Salle guide your teachers in their work. Amen.❤

[@bongxmendoza]

I am a teacher at a Catholic school, and that's good leadership right there. Kudos to you Sir! Your teachers are lucky!

"Everything in the Church is meant to facilitate the flow of Grace." *- Bishop Robert Barron*

[@kayleyself8173]

Yes I loved this

[@JESUS.IS.COMING.SOON..]

this is an amazing sermon, love the whole start to finish, esp the reference to OT!!

[@JP-bn2ct]

Wow, another week, another great message, for Catholics, Protestants, all believers in Christ, thanks!

[@shj0792]

What a great message again! I love how Bishop Barron teaches us to think like God rather than man. This spoke to me and sent me free on several levels.!

[@squidward66]

Amen! The Church has enough enemies causing harm. We don't need to fight each other.

[@valwhelan3533]

Or even fellow Christians who love the Lord.

[@Christian___]

@@valwhelan3533 Or even fellow humans who live out the will of Christ even if they don't know it as such.

[@bens4446]

This is the most important message. It sickens me to no end to see all the "Christian" sermons, podcasts, youtube channels (Protestant, Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox alike) dedicated to the project of tearing each other down on theological technicalities--effectively enlisting themselves in the service of the scatterer the Bishop talks of. I admire the Bishop's courage in resisting the current and speaking up for the real substance of Jesus' message, which is, among other things, one of unity.

[@miklosfabian4722]

For example Carlo Maria Viganò excluded from the Catholic Church

[@ThomasCollins-m8l]

I totally agree. I believe we need desperately to work across denominational and religious lines together as one people of God - in order to save mankind and our civilization.

[@pablososa9444]

I have also noticed KZbinrs from different denominations discuss the minutiae of dogmatic differences. I agree that dogma is important, but it should not be used as a weapon to create further scism; after all, who can fathom the mind of God. We are just starting to understand the structure of space-time that is the basis of creation and we still have no idea how it actually works. Who dares to say they comptehend? In the meantime we wield arguments that divide us. This is plain pride and arrogance. Let there be ine Holy Catholic Apostolic Church that is driven by the Spirit, and let's stop bickering over whose ideas should be imposed. God bless all children of the One Living God!

[@ladislausvmap]

​@@miklosfabian4722 vigano was a scatter.

[@anamartinez4633]

the problem with uniting with other Christians and brushing off doctrinal differences, does great harm because the way they view salvation and the way The Catholic Church views salvation, is different enough that it matters who is right and who is not. Why, because, since the sacraments are the ordinary means of salvation, and since protestants do not for instance, have The Sacrament of Confession, or the Eucharist, it's more difficult for them to get to Heaven. So yes, we can be united in charitable works, in prayer, and in friendship with them, but that's it. Doctrine matters; The Catholic doctrine was inspired by The Holy Spirit. Protestant doctrine such as salvation by faith alone or scripture alone, was inspired by heretics.

I'm a Protestant and those are exactly my thoughts. We're all trying to be a light to the world. We all believe our Lord died and resurrected. Loved this sermon bishop! :)

[@alexaugustynski3620]

I liked this a lot. Soon I'm going to be a deli worker. I'm going to be the best deli worker I can be and I'm going to get serious about life again. Shower in the mornings every morning. Begin to cut the porn and the weed smoking which I abstained from all summer but picked up again briefly after I got the job. Keep the tech out of my room. It will be the springboard to my return to form, this time with more humility, awareness and prudence :) Blessings Alexander

Wow Alex keep it up brother.

[@RachelSahlberg]

Joining a group where people who struggle with the same temptations and are working to get better can be beneficial. Personally, I attend meetings with like-minded folks, and it has strengthened my connection and reliance upon God. Although not always done with grace and ease, it has been a God send. I pray that He puts the right people in your life to help guide you. ❤

[@natmmeyer]

As a catechumen coming from Protestantism I appreciate this unifying message.

[@joeleach5089]

Please don't become Catholic. Confess to God that you are a sinner, rely on Jesus alone to save you and you will receive the Holy Spirit. Find a good Bible believing and preaching church and get into a good Bible study/Sunday School.

[@jamilerandazzo8888]

Praying that bishop Barron be our next Pope.

[@dellacelentano3649]

He has to become a cardinal first, so let's pray for that.

[@Hotamale2011]

He has to be named a Cardinal first. Hopefully he will be by Pope Franciscus.

[@anitavaughn1968]

We could all write pope Francis and ask him to make Bishop Barron a cardinal.

POPE BENEDICT XVI: “The tendency toward jealousy can exist within the Church when Catholics resent holiness and goodness being attained by non-Catholics. Instead we should all be able to always appreciate and respect each other, praising the Lord when he acts in the Church and in the world.”

“That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of life (and the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare unto you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us); that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you also, that ye also may have fellowship with us: yea, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ: and these things we write, that our joy may be fulfilled. And this is the message which we have heard from him, and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” (1 John 1.1-5)

The flow of grace ❤

[@josephcaristo]

Be humble and be small. St. FAUSTINA was told by Jesus that I do not reward for success but trials and sacrifices in trying to do good, to paraphrase the passage in her diary.

[@efosaokoro3343]

Bishop barron, this homily couldn't have come at a better time. Especially in my home country, Nigeria, where preachers are at loggerheads with themselves fighting over irrelevant things.

[@mariefrench44]

Soooooo well said!!!

[@eduardoriosarosemena5161]

The LORD is truth, and we will never fully grasp it, we can only keep trying to get closer to it. When we let our own perspective become the truth (structures, roles, ideas), then we become our own gods just like Adam and Eve, and we abandon paying attention to GOD's will to instead put more value to our own twisted paths. Only his path is the straight path, the last will be the first, GOD cares for the oppressed in their heart, just like bishop Baron mentions the story of the person exorcising demons in Jesus's name, Jesus doesn't care someone he doesn't know is using his name, he's only happy that someone who has suffering has been released, not through him, but through God's will, cause he is the source of all he can accomplish. The parabole of the prodigal son talks about this too!! We need to wish for all to be saved, love one another like brothers and expect nothing for ourselves, no reward, our reward should be to enjoy the bounties of living in the straight path of the LORD.

[@elainefalconer7954]

Every Sunday morning, I start my day reading the readings for Mass and then listening to Bishop Barron's homily. I get so much out of hearing Bishop Barron explain the message in those readings. My faith is much stronger because of him, and so I pray for him, asking God to keep him safe and healthy so he can continue to do God's works. We appreciate you Bishop Barron. God bless you.

I woke up Bishop barron posts Christendom = saved I go back sleep

[@simonahrendt9069]

And he comes to the disciples, and sees that they are sleeping, and says to Peter, What, were you not able to keep watch with me one hour? Matthew 26:41 Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test: the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble. - I post this in good spirit and mostly as a joke but then again, it might actually be the time to be awake and pray, so God help us do that

[@leonardonovoa8613]

Amen. May Saint Michael the Archangel protect us.

[@Linda-kw8bu]

Love his down to earth sermons. He drives home the point of the readings and the Gospel each Sunday ! Bless you Bishop Barton on Priesthood Sunday !

[@Heart_on_Fire1]

Love to hear Bishop Barron who speaks with clarity and charity on controversial issues. Jesus was very clear in the Gospel Reading about putting a milestone around one’s neck and be thrown into the sea for causing others to sin. Our culture is normalizing sexual sins. We are to fight this vigorously to restore America to the culture of life and chastity.

[@cynthiaagustin10]

I listen to several sunday masses online( by habit I just keep the TV on and it goes to another mass.. (happy for angels to listen in (haha) I Love it that most masses supported the Pope with what he said a few days ago…shows unity..

Thank you Honored Mentor Bishop Barron for "What matters is the flow of grace!" Thank for featuring St.Therese Lisieux, in Catholicism, where I first listened and encountered you Bishop Barron! Am captivated! Whereas, I hold most dear your wisdom Bishop Barron on, At the heart of the little way, is the prudence to know in any given situation, what is the demand of love willing the good of the other, as other! May St.Therese of the Child Jesus keep you, Bishop Barron grow in ssnctity.

[@jerilyntyner1550]

Amen and amen. What a wonderful truth! I never heard that story from Numbers before. I love the phrase, "The flow of grace." I will meditate on that this week.

[@TOTAL457]

Your reflection with the power of the Holy Spirit dear Bishop has uncovered a sin which I did not know I am committing. Wow. Few years ago I filmed a conversation between a friend of mine and myself. When I saw the video, I could not recognize myself. I felt so ashamed with my behaviour. From that day onwards I never filmed myself again. What a delusion we have about ourselves: I acted like a bad Pharisee because there were good ones. Incredible. God is so patient with us and MERCIFUL especially what we do to each other - it just breaks His 'heart'.

Great readings. Great sermon. Ο Θεός να ευλογει

[@taraf3485]

I loved this sermon. I think it can be spread to all of Jesus's church, the Catholics and the Protestants. There is this constant argument on the internet. The Protestants often proclaim that the only way to be saved is by saying the exact words they say, to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I have joined in and tried to explain that we are all followers of Jesus. We say many of those words in our profession of faith and as we pray for the forgiveness of sins. They get hung up on us asking all of the angels and saints to pray for us. They are adamant that Mary was just an ordinary woman and we honor her which is a sin. They say we are going to hell because we have statues of Jesus and the saints. They say that is idol worship. I have tried to defend Catholicism and explain that we ask Mary and the Saints to pray for us. I think it makes Jesus happy that we honor his mother. Then they will say she is not His mother. God doesn't have a mother. I can picture Jesus rolling His eyes at the pettiness. We are all on the same team. We are all fighting against the same evil. I don't think they understand this. If famous Protestant preachers would help to explain we have some minor differences but we all love Jesus and we are one family in Christ that could only make Jesus happy. The same is true for Catholic priest. But my personal opinion is that Catholics are more accepting of them. We don't sit in church and criticize them. I don't think I make much of a difference though. We need Priests and Preachers to help bring us together. That I think is what Jesus thinks is important.

[@smsmsm94]

Protestants constantly find faults in Catholism to justify Luther, he was the time example of divide and conquer, just look at how many protestant churches there are and we are the problem when it comes to unity?

[@jerilyntyner1550]

I think the day is coming soon when all true believers in Jesus will be so glad to welcome another who loves God they won't care if he is green or purple, speaks English or Urdu, is Catholic or Protestant but as the old song goes, "we will know they are Christians by theit love " and the flow of grace.

All that matters, especially in the ministry, is that God is glorified and people are served. "Not to us, Lord, not to us. But to Your name give the glory."

[@jamesbarlow1379]

Great perspective on letting good ideas presented through humility, not pride, serve to glorify God. Only do not slip into universalism such that all paths lead to God. No one comes to the Father except through Jesus, and the fullness of truth resides in the Catholic Church. glorify God

[@kathleenlambert7706]

I love this sermon. I just wish I could understand why there is such resistance to Christians of different denominations sharing the Eucharist together. I should think that the action of bowing down in unity before Christ would outweigh the different thoughts we hold in our minds as we come to God.

[@junecox8274]

Amen Amen 🙏

[@paulrubio3918]

Somehow, the Gospel passage for this Sunday reminds me of another Gospel passage when Jesus talks with the Apostles about how they're wrongly getting jealous for His sake. Certainly, there could also be a connection with the recent Gospel passage when the Apostles argue about who's the greatest, as in the passage this Sunday, they think they're greater and so try to stop someone casting out a demon in His name. There's so much wisdom in this homily, and the idea that we should step back and humbly acknowledge that those who are "new" or "outsiders" can offer us so much, and we should acknowledge them. God's Spirit is indeed at work in such broad ways. By the way, since we're on a 3-year cycle, these passages were proclaimed 9 years ago at the World Meeting of Families Concluding Mass in Philadelphia.

Beautiful sermon Bishop Baron. Indeed, many of our brothers and sisters have left the church because of this kind of division within the church. Fortunately the Holy Spirit has sent people like you to help us fight the devil. We pray for you so that you stay strong whenever the darkside tries to being you down.

Excellent as always. There is no limit. What a great vision for the healing of the wounds of the Reformation which caused such division in the church? What a power there would be for the world. Like you illustrated we must recognize as the Council said all the good things that have been wrought by the Holy Spirit in all churches for these things are for us also.
