link >> watch 'Surrender
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
Laetare/Mothering Sunday. Fr. Philip 10th March 2024

feast of feasts, the very reason for being of Christianity.
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.'

Bishop Barron's sermon for Corpus Christi 2024 ".. we come to the 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."

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.' |

They see 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 theme." |

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." |

the readings for this Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time are interwoven
with each other in a very interesting way. I want to start with the
first reading from Jeremiah, then look at the Gospel 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." |
