God Suffers for Us - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon

[@RajibKdaiska-rc6jc]

Thank you dear bishop for the great contribution to the Church ❤

[@toyfoxythemangletangle6306]

Bishop Baron, you and Jordan Peterson have brought me back to God. I was raised Catholic. I was Baptist, had my first communion, and in the 8th grade I did confirmation. As I got older I lost my faith for so many reasons. But by the grace of God I stumbled upon you and Jordan Peterson...I am awake now. Thank you so much and God bless you.

Bishop Barron mentions Saint Maximilian Kolbe, who died at Auschwitz to let another man live because the man had several children. That man was Franciszek Gajowniczek. In the 1990’s, he came to America and spoke at the Cathedral in Cincinnati. Saint Maximilian, pray for us!

[@ChevySpeedAddict]

This reminds me of Mother Theresa's saying that God does not require we do great things but that we do small things with great love. The smallest self-sacrifice for the good of another is indeed letting Christ live through us.

Deep in prayer, my cross to wear I kneel upon the floor Temptations of a catholic priest aren't easy to ignore But I can not control myself He rips my soul apart For one small sheep among my flock has Stolen the shepherd's heart Altar boy, altar boy Confess your sins to me You will find the grace of God Inside my rectory Sunday mass or bible class I catch him in my view I close my eyes but there he lies Spread-eagle on the pew And when I see him in that frock My conscience goes awry I'll give him some communion wine thats Spiked with Spanish fly Altar boy, altar boy Is it gonna be heaven or hell? You can play my organ all night long If you promise never to tell ... Our father Who art in heaven Hallowed be thy name... I could dress him up like the pope and then I'd... Oh dear god, the shame, oh no Lead us not into temptation Deliver us from sin Or we could pretend that he was Jesus Christ and I was Mary Magdalene Altar boy, oh altar boy Confess your sins to me You will find the grace of God Inside my rectory

✝️Bishop Baron, i feel so Blessed and Humbled How You Bring Scripture to Life by the Power and Grace of the Holy Spirit. You are by far truly a Master when it comes to Theology, and Our Faith and Religion. Truly blessed how you used your years of devoted studies and expertise, to dedicate yourself to work with, renowned Scholars. Yet not only Help fighting for Our Faith, but most importantly, the devotion and passion you have with Scripture, and Spreading the Word. May God Keep You, and those who help, contribute, with Word on Fire. You are most definitely a role model for many. God Bless. Amen 👆🏻🕊🙏🏼❤️🤲🏼✝️. 🙏🏼

I caNNOT BEGIN TO THANK YOU LORD FOR THIS PANDEMIC (NOT THE VIRUS) because I came to know many pastors and shepherds who relentlessly, lovingly, passionately enduringly work in your vineyard for the many lost, least, last, and disafilliated souls like me. Never giving up. Thank you for ushering me back to my faith and for deepening my love and understanding of how you have love me and the rest of humanity through them. I have come to appreciate the richness of my Catholic faith. O how I thirst to know more about You. My prayers for Pope Francis, Cardinal Chito, Cardinal Joe, Bishop Robert Barron, Bishop Ambo David, Father Chris Alar, Father Dave Concepcion, Father Jerry Orbos and many many more priests who continue to proclaim your love and mercy. God bless their ministries.

A less gifted theologian would have presented a talk on the “economy of salvation” (HOW we are saved). But Bishop Barron presents the topic in a way that is rooted in Scripture (for this alone, thank you, God) and is highly memorable. A prophet among us, indeed.

[@AndrewKendall71]

An excellent and helpful observation. Thank you.

[@timrichardson4018]

When I sin and fail, and feel the guilt of it, I remember that Jesus willingly suffered all he did for my sake. If he was willing to go through the depths of suffering for me, surely He will not give up on me now. I have vowed to myself that when I sin, I will pray.

I was Lector at the Vigil Mass, reading these passages from Isaiah. It made me think of how we need to be prepared to suffer for our faith in these times, so increasingly anti-Christian. I pray that I will be able to hold fast to my faith when those around me mock me and accuse me. Help me Lord to suffer for you, and align my will to yours.

[@josephzammit8483]

Well said! What we need is to grow in our love for God, and arrive even at a perfect love of God. This is possible by God's grace. When we love God sincerely, we do his will notwithstanding all the difficulties we come across. Grace is more powerful than sin. I’m publishing a weekly KZbin video on episodes from the life of Don Bosco, entitled ST JOHN BOSCO by JOE ZAMMIT. In this series I’m narrating events and miracles from the splendid life of Don Bosco. St John Bosco used to perform a miracle almost every day, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians. From the lives of saints we can learn how to love God more and draw closer to him. Thank you

Thank you for mentioning motherhood, Bishop. This past year I went through a very difficult pregnancy and one of my other children spent weeks in the hospital. I am sad to see people holding onto the culture’s mantras of looking inward to determine truth, because in the face of intense suffering-of blood clots or racing in an ambulance with your daughter-these mantras become folly. Only in a scope that includes this peculiar, suffering God do these dark moments seem redeemable. ✝️🙏🏻

Bishop Barron, you are the main, reason I'm still a Catholic. To make a long story short, let's just say I was a child welfare worker, for the majority of my career in NYC. You said, for those of you who are angry, and disillusioned, don't leave. Rather, stay and try to correct the sins of the church from within. That's exactly what I've done. Like the reformers of the Middle Ages, it seems like a losing battle, but it's a battle I choose, and, want to fight. Thank you.

[@marypinakat8594]

[@Nestor123057]

​@@marypinakat8594 I do pray and I pray for The Church, but it's hard to forgive people who prey on children, using their power of authority, to do so. You are probably one of those who don't believe the allegations. As a child abuse investigator, and a trainer, in child abuse investigation, I know better. Just as I know about widespread police corruption in NYC. It's all the same thing. Wicked and sick people hiding behind powerful institutions. I know, the only thing that will keep me out of heaven, is my anger. It's hard not to be angry at people and institutions that abuses the most innocent and vulnerable in our society. My very first child abuse case was brought before "Judge Judy", of TV fame. I have a lot of experience and I know what I'm talking about. The Church is ill, and as some say, (Bishop Barron), in a crisis, and has been for a long time.

*"If Christ is God, he cannot sin, and if suffering was a sin in and by itself, he could not have suffered and died for us.* *However since he took the most horrific death to redeem us, he showed us in fact that suffering and pain have great power."* - E.A. BUCCHIANERI

[@colleenklaus375]

Jesus' suffering was not a sin. He became sin. He became the propitiation of our sin. Remember, Jesus was all God and all man. Eve's seed, Jesus, crushed Satan's head, as predicted and spoken by God to Eve in Genesis. You have to understand that God lost His creation to Satan, because of Adam and Eve's sin, their freewill to choose. By eating the fruit, by disobeying God, Satan became the god of this world. This is where Jesus comes in. God's plan to win his creation back. Jesus paid the price of humanity's sin, Adam and Eve's sin, and the original sin that followed afterward in every human birth. However, when God's anger was once and forever appeased, when Jesus spent three days and three nights in the belly of the earth, suffering for us, He triumphantly rose from the dead, but before he rose, the Bible says, that Jesus made a 'show' of Satan and every demon in hell. Then Jesus took the keys of hell and death from Satan, and rose from the dead. Jesus was in hell unjustly. He committed no sin. He became sin for once and all-the final sacrifice--no more offering bulls and sheep for the atonement of sin. Hallelujah!

[@jenniferwinston7842]

@@colleenklaus375 I'm a Catholic and a catechist who cares very deeply about truth, especially when it comes to our trinitarian God...... Much of what you write has truth, but it isn't quite the whole story. Jesus is pure love. God doesn't become sin.... we know this by understanding his very nature. God never lost his creationat all. God is the Supreme Being over all things. Adam and Eve's sins Unforgiven amongst each one of us at baptism. During the baptism those sins are washed away.. original sin. Satan is not and will never be a Supreme Being or God, even if some choose to worship Him. The evil one and his minions will never be elevated. They have no power. They are weak and they are cowardly. With all that said, I understand what you are trying to say. It is true that sometimes people have other things to which they are more attached. For some people money is a God, while for others they believe they are God. Other philosophies believe that the powers of nature represent different types of gods.... false gods. Jesus was never in hell. Let me repeat. Jesus was never in hell. Even though the Bible uses the word how to say that He descended into hell..... the word hell is simply the English translation of the Hebrew word that refers to Hades. Hades is best described in Roman and Greek mythology as the resting place before ascending to Heaven... or descending to hell. Jesus Is God, he was not subject to any other Force at all. God is omnipotent! Jesus never became sin nor could become sin by His very nature. With so many people Miss is that Jesus is pure love. His passion and sacrifice was to give us his body, blood, soul, and divinity. It's why the Eucharist is so important, as it is the means in which Jesus lives in us and we can live in Him. No one can understand God fully, simply because know Him we would have to be Him. satan is not a god nor every will be.....even if some choose to worship evil or other things. The truth is that Satan is extremely weak unless we choose to give him power. Jesus showed us many things. The most beautiful is true love- Agape..... love in service and in sacrifice as well as the virtues such as humility and charity. This was such a revelation that even the Greeks added a new word.... the word Agape.....versus eros which refers to physical love. Additionally, Jesus represented the most radical affirmation of the elevation of human life- made in God's image and likeness.... the thing that unifies all of us....... when the son of God became man in the womb of a woman...... it was the most radical affirmation of human life. It was the time when the architect became the house, or one could say the potter became the cup. Please consider following some of the Catholic apologists such as Scott Hahn and Steve Ray..... or consider visiting the website of The Magis Center of Faith. BTW, the Blessed Mother Mary was the ark of the new covenant. When she said yes it was Mary who crushed the head of satan. Jesus is the New Covenant. Pax

[@jenniferwinston7842]

Jesus' passion was pure love. He emptied himself out for us. He gave us his body, blood, soul, and divinity. This is why the Eucharist is so important so that He can live in us and we can live in Him. Jesus is the most radical affirmation of the elevation of human life.... when the Son of God became man in the womb of a woman.... the potter became the cup the architect became the house. It is humility that has the most power and is the fundamental basis for all virtues. Certainly no suffering is done in vain, but Jesus did much more than suffer. It was an act of humility and an act of giving, and pure love... in service and sacrifice: agape.
