Christ Can Heal Us - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

Friends, the Gospel for this Sunday is one of Jesus’ best-known parables: the story of the Good Samaritan. Karl Barth, who learned it from the Church Fathers, taught that every parable of Jesus, at the deeper level, is finally about Jesus himself. The parable of the Good Samaritan is a good example of this principle; it is fundamentally about Christ healing fallen humanity.

I am a 77 year old cradle Catholic and this was the most informative and inspiring homily I have ever heard about the parable of the Good Samaritan. You are a brilliant man and a gifted and blessed speaker.

[@IreneuszCzech]

Yes. 👍

[@cicis6897]

I believe that God gave us another Prophet! Thank you Bishop Barron! Include me in your prayers for the healing of my Soul and Heart! 🙏💚🌞🌈

[@Kitiwake]

The core of the Catholic faith in action in the world. The good Samaritan.

[@theclapaolini4322]

We catholics are so blessed by the graces of the sacraments to be able to gain heaven. Your homilies etc gives us all hope and joy to live out our days close to God . BISOP BARRON THANK YOU.

[@eu7kw678]

I cannot emphasise how much your homilies are critical to my faith and formation as catholic. Thank you bishop Barron and word on fire team. God bless always.

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

I feel the same way.

[@elvinasaldanha197]

I feel the same way too. Thank you Bishop Barron.

[@barbarafenton1775]

Me too!!

[@dawnlapka3782]

Could not agree more. We have priests in our diocese that were Bishop Barron's students. Moral Theology is just good psychological education.

[@vincewyn1396]

Thank you Bishop Barron!

[@susankesia1783]

I am crying with joy because no one has ever brought Jesus’s teaching of the Good Samaritan to my ear like Bishop Barron. May God keep blessing you and word on fire institute. Plus welcome to MN.

[@eleanorhaupt6091]

I've heard this scripture many times, but Bishop Barron brings meaning and depth.

[@lisacatherineschaubroeck2348]

Jesus Christ is the only Healer. Thank you, and God bless you, Bishop.

[@Alan-Cummins]

Thank you Christ Lord for being our saviour. Thank you Bishop Baron for proclaiming the Word of God. Peace be with you, Amen.

Amen.

[@greggonzalez859]

Just when you think you’ve been a Catholic guy for a long time teaching catechism and you know the parable - thank you Bishop Barron. “ Going down to Jericho from Jerusalem”.

[@annoloughlin5549]

Bishop your homilies, your arguments, and your teaching has changed my whole life in my 60s, I wish I'd had the opportunity to be taught my faith like this in my youth. Thank you, please pray my children will return to God

[@rhwinner]

🙏❤️🙏

[@cheapers1952]

I agree and I know the feeling I have children also

[@leenajoseph7561]

Thank you Bishop you are the pride our church. God blessed us to be in Holy Land. We spent some time in Jericho. Your Homily made sense how the landscape is. I am from Chicago niles .God bless

[@ReVincentius]

I told to 3 of my best friends: "Would you like me to show you the future Pope?" When they agreed, I sent them one of the bishop Barrons video. His homilies helped me a lot in my preachings. In adding to this story, the oldest city in the world (Jericho) had 27 foundations. It means that it was 26 times tottaly destroyed. Great homily! God bless! EDIT: Jericho is 230 m below the sea, and Jerusalem is 830 m above. So it is height difference of slightly more than 1 km. God bless!

[@colywogable]

I have been thinking about him as Pope lately, too.

[@ReVincentius]

@@colywogable Cool. As a priest, I really don't have any "charismas", "gifts" etc. (except the obvious one [being a priest]), so I don't think about that tought as God intervention to me (actually, I'm quite nobody), but now when I realise that I'm not alone... hm hm hm, curious, isn't it? ;) Spiritus Sanctus blows where He wants so no worries there. It will be what it'll be!

[@colywogable]

@@ReVincentius Yes! We shall see. But I like to imagine that Barron would be great for evangelization at this time. He is so accessible, yet so Catholic! :) Though I must say, I think that our Pope right now is really wonderful.

[@diannemarshall7495]

Great homily.Heard this parable many times,but not like this.Great information and teaching.

[@IreneuszCzech]

👍

[@rogerjones9941]

At Mass , I "switched off " when it came to the "good Samaritan." Thinking, I have heard this story so many times over the years. Thank you Bishop Barron for your brilliant interpretation of this parable . Lesson learned!

[@adiesumpermariam4111]

Exactly. Same here.

[@imnotanalien7839]

This was a beautiful, inspiring homely. Everyone has heard the story of the Good Samaritan… however … this was the REAL in-depth meaning of the Good Samaritan story. The story is so much more beautiful and inspiring when these details are explained.♥️✝️

[@joelasiewski1424]

I think the deeper lesson is to love ones enemies, do good to them, and not expect anything in return from either them or our creator.

[@gatogati2281]

Agree with you. Jesus...is really a master story teller.

[@eileendeacetis6672]

Words are inadequate in expressing the insights you provide us with each week. So beautiful and uplifting. God bless you Bishop Barron 🙏☦️🛐

[@criseldavillalobos1666]

[@dawnlapka3782]

I woke up in the middle of the night with pain. A lot of it. Listening to God's truth through your education of Jesus helped. God bless your ministry, Bishop Barron.

[@cynthialoza7155]

Thank you Jesus for your love and mercy. God bless you dear Bishop Barron.

[@patgibsonguitar5000]

I thank you, Excellency, for the insightful interpretation of this parable. I'll keep this as a guide to this Gospel from this point forward.

[@martinresendez637]

Now that's reading scriptures through Christ! Always keep Christ in mind when reading the word of God, because He is that very Word. Thank you Bishop Barron for the excellent catechism.

[@daveraymond8526]

It's lovely to have the true meaning of Jesus parables explained so simply by Bishop Barron. I look forward to your Sunday Sermon every week 🙏

Thank you Bishop.

[@levismadore556]

I praise God that He has chosen you as one of his apostles. Your sense of and fervor for the beauty of the Church as a place to be taken care of, as an inn on the road to each our Jericho, deeply moves me. How I fail to see my Church this way

[@justinstuchlik9833]

Thank you for your weekly sermons Bishop Barron. Your sermons are the theological reflections I crave like water but find it difficult to find outside of prayer life. I compare them to a water stand in the desert where I can reliably get sustenance no matter how bad the situation is around me or how distracted I might get. Thank you.

[@kimaramwattana1136]

Thank you, Bishop Barron for this Sunday sermon. Your explanation helps me to understand this parable in a deeper level of my spiritual journey. God bless you always.

[@trmon8890]

Bishop Barron, Your voice sound like you're coming down with a cold , so I'm praying for your health today . Stay healthy

[@josephcaristo]

Every word in the bible is loaded with symbolism and meaning beyond the mundane. Speakers such as Bishop Barron bring to life the word of God and bring an aha moment to many. Take this story and apply it to your life the Catholic way. Otherwise it is meaningless in that it bears no fruit. Thank you Lord for this man.

[@Barbaramamato]

Most appreciative to Karl Barth and Your Excellence for this profoundly transformative homily. From now on, I realize, I will always hear this Gospel in a new way, hoping in healing salve of Christ for His church. May God continually bless you and your ministry, the mission of evangelization. May it be most abundantly fruitful.

[@missthelife]

Please can everyone pray for my reunification with the lord. Ask him and the blessed Virgin to protect and guide me

I feel so enriched every time I listen to Bishop Barron. What a bright light he shines unto me! Thank you Bishop for sharing Jesus!

[@user-pp9ts6fb1o]

Listening you homily is my every Sunday"s morning schedule. Your homily gives me open and wider my mind and heart how to read Gospel and how to live as a catholic.

[@deloresjackson3498]

Thank you Bishop Barron for the awesome homily about the Good Samaritan !! A Good Samaritan is my most favorite thing in the Bible. We are to stop and help someone in need instead of walk off and abandon them. You explained the meaning of a Good Samaritan so good !! May God Bless you !!

[@pradeepperies4721]

Bishop Barron thank you for helping us getting closer to Lord. You are a true Catholic !

[@worldcitizen7773]

Wow.! Jesus is truly the good samaritain. He was talking about himself in this parable. Wow, thank you Bishop for the enlightenment. I am in Europe right now visiting some holy places and the Chartres Cathedral made me sob in a way I haven’t even in Saint Peter Basilica.. it is a special place. God bless!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Praise the Lord Bishop Barron. This reflection heard through my life of the Good Samaritan has never been so meaningful. I hear it clearly that I have to be Christ to the world. You changed every word to be seen for the goodness of the Lord. So beautiful Bishop Barron may God bless you as you prepare me for the Sunday Homely every week before I go for Mass. I’m Ayomi from Sri Lanka. Stay Blessed.

[@matthewmckibben7340]

Wow.

[@jrwestler]

You put so much the scriptures in context that it brings it to life. Listening to this was like living the scriptures. Thank you.

[@PolymorphicPenguin]

I'm impressed how Bishop Barron includes himself when talking about the effects of sin. It would be so easy for a bishop to see sin as a problem that only effects the laity rather than religious leaders. This humility is refreshing.

[@theclapaolini4322]

Always so clear and so full of truth.Bishop you are here because we need your talks that reopen our eyes to pike up where we got mess up after vat.2. Thank you.

[@seangallagher9580]

Your Excellency, I always come away from your speeches, lectures, video series, interviews, and homilies with some "a-ha" moment, but this was fully breathtaking in its newness of approach for me. Having grown up in a Catholic home and started out more as a cultural Catholic, and having strived to become more purposeful in practicing my faith over the last couple of decades, your charism for teaching has been such a blessing. I am always amazed at how rich the matrix of the Scriptures becomes in the hands of a gifted explainer. Thank you for making the effort to share your gift with us!

Forever grateful to Bishop Robert Barron. You never tire those in need of listening to you. It is because, your teaching is aligned to things happening so glaringly and so brazenly so shamelessly around us.....like a glassful of cold sparkling water on a very hot day, you teach us to look at Jesus and ask Him to give us salvation. Your teaching teaches us that God's very near us, we have the ability to reach out to a merciful God to get back into gear....many tks Bishop Barron!

Dearest Bishop Robert Barron, Good Morning! Thank you for the Sunday sermon today. God brought me here to the United States to live on Dreger road. He is the one who saves me from my sins. He redeems me from the evil one (the devil). I see God is Almighty, and I thank Him for rescuing my life. I see Jesus Christ our Lord saved his children from the hands and power of the enemy, especially in abortion. Jesus Christ is important in my life through His atonoment, teaching, yearning, peace, and example. He helps me continue to exist, face trials, and move forward with faith as I do back in exchange for Him and His Father. Bishop, I continue to pray for you. I ask Jesus would help us truly live a life of love. I hope to see you at the live stream mass today at 2 pm. God bless you all. Please, pray for the Dregers family. St. Augustine Zhao Rong and companion, pray for us. Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
