Patience, People: St. James reminds us that an essential element of the Christian life is waiting. As the farmer waits for the precious yield of the earth, so the believer waits while Christ does his mysterious work in the world. Thus we must learn the virtue of patient e... by Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies

Food for Eternal Life: On this feast of Corpus Christ, we reflect on the inexhaustibly rich theme of the Eucharist. The particular motif I pursue in this homily is that of the eucharist as food for eternal life. Eating the body and drinking the blood of Jesus fits us for the r... by Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies

The Risen Jesus: The risen Christ makes two basic moves: he shows his wounds and speaks a word of peace. In so doing, he reminds us of our sins and he assures us of his forgiveness. In this a new world opens up, for we know that nothing can finally separate us from the l... by Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies

Woe to You Pharisees: The problem with the Pharisees is not what they teach. It is that they use religion--the very thing that is meant to take us out of ourselves--as a means of aggrandizing the ego. Law, custom, practice, religious dress, titles--all of it becomes a way of ... by Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies

Whatsoever You Do...: Our Gospel for today is one of the most devastating texts in the New Testament. Jesus tells us that whenever we neglected to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the imprisoned, welcome the lonely, we failed to care for him.

The Man Born Blind: Blindness is a great Biblical symbol of spiritual blindness, the darkening and distortion of our vision.

The Journey of the Magi: The journey of these wise men is a metaphor for the spiritual journeys that all of us must make.

Our God is a Community of Love: The Trinity is not simply a conundrum for theologians to puzzle over. It names the very heart of the Christian faith. Our God is a community or family of love, and we are invited, through Christ, to share in that love. by Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies

Faith the Size of a Mustard Seed: For Jesus, faith is power. When we have linked ourselves to the God who fashions and governs the cosmos, we allow enormous power to flow through us for the transformation of the world.

The Liturgy as a Display of God's Justice: In the liturgy, we realize ourselves as the Corpus Christi, the Body of Christ. In so doing, we show forth what the whole of human society and culture ought to look like: nonviolence, forgiveness, compassion, the bearing of one another's burdens. by Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies

The Disquieting Humility of God: John hesitates before baptizing the Lord, saying, "It is I who should be baptized by you."

Pray, Fast, and Give Alms: During the great season of Lent, the Church recommends three very concrete acts: prayer, fasting, and the giving of alms.

An Icon of the Church: The Old Testament story of the battle between Israel and the Amalekites is a symbolic presentation of the church.

The Paralysis of Sin: God wants nothing more than for us to be fully alive. Sin cramps us, paralyzes us, prevents us from flourishing. Jesus' whole life and being is God's "yes" to human beings. So he forgives the sin of the paralytic and then invites him to walk. The glory o... by Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies

A Ransom for the Many: What does it mean to say that Jesus died for our sins? How precisely does his cross save us?

The Wheat and the Tares: One of the most mysterious and yet practically applicable of Jesus' parables is at the heart of today's Gospel.

The Falling of the Fire: On this great feast of Pentecost, we reflect on the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit.

The Steadfast Love of God: Everything in nature, culture, and the cosmos is passing away. Nothing here below finally lasts.

The Demands of Discipleship: Jesus tells his followers that those who love their mothers and fathers more than him are not worthy of him.

Spiritual Shock Therapy: The world of grasping, competition, violence, and egotism is the "real" world, right?
