to the Holy One' sermon from Bishop
Barron. “Friends, the first reading from Deuteronomy today is of
signal importance. Moses, speaking to the people before they enter
the Promised Land, says, “A prophet like me will the LORD, your
God, raise up for you from among your own kin; to him you shall
listen.” These words haunted the mind of Israel. Moses was the
supreme authority; there was no figure in the Old Testament more
important. Who could be greater than Moses? We find the answer in
the Gospel: Jesus of Nazareth, the Holy One of God, who speaks on
his own authority.”

Laetare Sunday is the new moon,
which is the Paschal Moon guiding the date of Easter. This year it
also marks the start of Ramadan. Also Mothering Sunday, a word I
think covers something much wider than has become common “Mothers’
Day.” Of course, our own mothers are important, but it widens to
Our Lady ‘mothering the Church, her children. Happy

Everything in Christian life centers around the Resurrection. And
the Church gives us, every year, the account of Easter morning from
the Gospel of John. I want to bring out just one feature that John
especially draws attention to—namely, the burial cloths left behind
in the tomb. These strange and wonderful cloths that opened the
door to faith long ago could perhaps do the same thing
today.'

great Feast of Corpus Christi - the Body and Blood of Christ. This
year, as the Church in the US is going through a lengthy
Eucharistic Revival, it’s good for us once again to turn to this
greatest of sacraments. What I want to do today is to talk about a
spiritual practice that has become very dear to me in the course of
my life - and that is Eucharistic
Adoration."

Eucharistic Adoration?'
Bishop Barron's talk June 5th 2024 ".. 'Friends, if there’s one thing I can
encourage you to do - Catholic or not - it is to spend time before
the Blessed Sacrament. That little red light is always on,
beckoning us toward Christ. So many of the spiritual giants of the
twentieth century - Fulton Sheen, Edith Stein, Mother Teresa, and
John Paul II, to name a few - were often found praying before the
Eucharistic Lord.'

the world according to God’s plans and purposes—an ample and even
peculiar vision that can often make spiritual people seem a little
crazy. All three of our readings this Sunday are touching on this

watch 'A Thorn in the
Flesh' Bishop Barron's
sermon for 14th Sunday OT 2024 ".. our
second reading is from Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians. The
focus of the reading is “a thorn in the flesh” that was given to
Paul “to beat me, to keep me from being too elated.” What was it?
We don’t know, but whatever it was, it wasn’t trivial. We all have
something like this—some physical, psychological, or spiritual
suffering that’s chronic and deeply troubling. Yet this struggle
with the thorn in the flesh is very often what brings us back to
God."

from Mark, and then circle back to the second reading from Paul’s
Letter to the Ephesians, which I think sheds the most light on the
thematics here—namely, God’s desire to shepherd his people, and the
arrival of the shepherd in Christ."

Barron's sermon for 20th Sunday OT 2024

pivotal section of the New Testament where John lays out his
Eucharistic theology. And we come today to the rhetorical high
point of this discourse, where things really come to a head. It is
the ground of the doctrine of the Real Presence: Jesus is not
simply symbolically present in the Eucharist; he’s really, truly,
and substantially present under the signs of bread and
wine."
