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.❤

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.!

[@naikhanomtom7552]

I'm Orthodox but enjoyed this sermon. I pray that we will Unite again ♥️☦️ I see you as my Brothers in Christ whether we are in communion or not.

[@rendcastles]

Amen, brother/sister. ✝️🤝☦️

[@Rolando_Cueva]

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! :)

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.

[@carolinafagundez4110]

🙏🙏🙏

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@andip.9808]

I love all of my brothers and sisters in Christ. Even those that hate me and believe I am in a cult because I am Catholic.

[@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.

[@rosecielong5388]

AMEN...that's a blazing flow of grace Bishop Robert Baron. 😇😇😇 St Michael, St Gabriel and St Raphael pray for 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 !

[@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.

[@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..

Amen. May Saint Michael the Archangel protect us.

[@thediazfamily1586]

Am captivated!

May St.Therese of the Child Jesus keep you, Bishop Barron grow in ssnctity.

Your homilies are bite sized pragmatism! I am a middle school computer teacher in an underserved public school district. You words are my spiritual amor!

[@Catholicity-uw2yb]

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.”

[@bertpowers7064]

That was excellent. Thank God for Bishop Barron. Division is the work of the devil at any level or in any place. So when you see or hear someone dividing us, you know who they are working for.

[@frantzboribon5045]

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.

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

[@jeannemccloskey9416]

As always, such a good honest clear message!! Oh how I wish everyone would hear these Sunday sermons... really - - every day I wake up to a wonderful interpretation of the Gospel. Thank you Bishop Barron!!!

[@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

[@denisewalker7217]

Bishop Robert Barron, you hit the nail on the head with this sermon! I pray & hope that a good number of parishioners lister to this vlog! Blessed Sunday!

[@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.

[@marthasandoval2654]

God Bless you Bishop Barron. As long as the Grace of God flows; who cares who gets credit. Jesus unite our Church. 🙏

Joining a group where people who struggle with the same temptations and are working to get better can be beneficial.

“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)

[@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.

“Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”) When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?” Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭21‬:‭20‬-‭22‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Thank you dear servant of the most high God. Such a great message. This is the verse that now guides my life. I have enough to do while having the Holy Spirit work on my heart and attitudes to be overly concerned about all the things that rob my peace and joy that others do. I’m pretty sure God can work on their hearts as well.
