Peace in the Storm - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

Publicado 2024-06-22
Friends, our Gospel for today is Mark’s account of the stilling of the sea. We know the basic structure of the story: Jesus is in the boat with the disciples; when a storm kicks up, he’s asleep in the stern. The disciples are panicking and wake Jesus up, and once he’s awakened, he calms the storm. Then he says, “Do you not yet have faith?” What I'm going to do is give you three separate interpretations of this story, all of which have come up out of the ancient Church, and all of which shed light on the spiritual life.

Mass Readings:
Reading 1 - Jb 38:1, 8-11
Psalm - 107:23-24, 25-26, 28-29, 30-31
Reading 2 - 2 Cor 5:14-17
Gospel - Mk 4:35-41

  • I'm retired now, but I was an RN who worked in critical care. The days when I took the time to pray before work always went smoother. It was not any less chaotic, but I felt the Holy Spirit guide me with skill and peace.
  • If you’re reading this, please pray for my respiratory health - I am suffering frequently now.
  • Am a Catholic priest from Kenya and I have never had such interpretation of this text the way you have put. You have done more than I expected. Asante sana (thank you very much). God bless.

    Bishop Barron, I want you to know that you influenced my decision to become consecrated into the Catholic Faith. I was an Episcopalean, but at age 75 I have converted to Catholicism, and am a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Mt. Vernon, Texas, in the Diocese of Tyler, Texas. Thank you for bringing me closer to Christ.
  • @jeanlanz2344
    Wow, so deep. Thank you, Bishop Barron for sharing your knowledge and Holy Spirit inspired meditations. God bless you.
  • @mlmoylan3848
    Bishop Barron, you are a modern-day saint. Your guidance, Scriptural interpretations, prayers, and so much more are bringing souls to the Lord. May God bless you every day. We're immensely fortunate to learn from you. 🙏❤️
  • Every week, these sermons spark a tiny miracle of faith within me. Thank you, Jesus, for Bishop Barron! Please continue to bless his ministry. 💙🙏

    In my late teens and early twenties, I let Christ fall asleep in me. After the physical toll my body took because of the malevolence that came my way due to my ignorance, I found myself one day in a panic in the middle of Starbucks. I was in line, feeling my anxiety rise, not being able to be in a crowded place in my own skin, and be patient for my turn, & I started to say the 'Our Father' to myself silently. It instantaneously calmed me down. ❤ It was refreshing to feel a sense of familiar peace inside me. Today, I pray before bed most evenings, as my mind wants to ruminate, I stop it by the calm, repetitive prayer & fall peacefully asleep. 🙏🌙
  • Amen Amen Amen Thank you Jesus for your grace and mercies. Thank you Jesus for this new day. Thank you Jesus for loving me.

    Bishop Barron always hits the mail on the head! Thank you for a wonderful homily! God Bless You!😇❤️🙏
  • I was dealing with a family tragedy and couldn’t continue praying the rosary, then Mary put her hand on mine and my pain lessened so that I could continue with the prayer. I am amazed how we are given the grace to go on.
  • @kellylynn6328
    I just started going back to church 3 years ago and I'm just starting to feel the spirit within me.. I go to daily Mass and pray every morning during my walk.. I feel peacefulness come over me as I pray.. I know he's listening.. I see the prayers he answers in my life and know they are are blessings and miracles.. I make my own rosaries and give them away for free and donate some to the church.. I am just now at 55 starting to feel a purpose in life..
  • @JP-bn2ct
    Thank you to my Bishop Barron, from a Protestant Christian and still a believer in these turbulent times!
  • @femmecorbeau
    When St Thérèse de Lisieux was dying, suffering, she said her boat was in the midst of a great storm. But Christ was sleeping so peacefully, she didn't want to wake him up. She just loved him so much. We must be willing to descend all the way with him, and then we will rise with him again.
  • no one could deliver a message like this unless they were personally connected to the Father, His son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Thank you Bishop Barron, for your faithfulness and devotion to our Lord.
  • @anacuevas9273
    I worked as a teacher assistant in n an elementary school for 22 years. There were situations where I couldn’t do it if not were for the power of the prayers that I had before, during and after I left the school. The environment became toxic for my spiritual wellbeing. During the pandemic I started singing two or three hymns before leaving my house and in the parking lot before entering the building. I retired two years ago. God is faithful 🙏
  • Thank you, for your teaching Bishop Barron. I grow more and more deeply in faith and love with Jesus Christ when I hear your sermons. 🕊⛪️🙏🏼
  • @marklunde948
    I have found peace by going to Adoration before starting work each day. While I pray the rosary I ask the Holy Spirit to put his priorities on my heart. Thank you Jesus for spending time with me.
  • Bishop Barron, all I can say is thank you and keep doing what you are doing. You are a saint, on a par with Bishop Fulton Sheen. God bless you, from a fellow Chicagoan and Loyola Academy grad.We Catholics are so grateful to have you.
