Friends, in my homily from the Global Rosary Relay event at Thomas Aquinas College, I make the point that the heart of Jesus is not simply the heart of a great man from the first century, but rather the heart of God himself.

  2. Ah ah ah there is no feast of the Sacred mind and no feast of the Sacred Will! Really I love this. Indeed the Heart is the centre of our being. Thank you Bishop.
    But we really miss the daily mass of word on fire.

  9. at 8:00 – one of my favorite examples: Luke 7:13, Jesus sees the widowed woman weeping at the loss of her only son. She didn't even know Jesus was there. She didn't come up and ask Him for a miracle. The verse simply says, "His heart was filled with pity for her, and He said to her 'don't cry.' " Then He resurrected the young man.
    That verse gets me every time. I don't pretend to know the Mind of God. I know He knows all things, and already knew that He would encounter her when He entered that city. But being 'moved with pity' is so human! – as if He hadn't previously intended to do so, til He saw her with his own Heart.

  13. Thank You Lord, for sending your servant St. John Chrysostom “Golden mouth”, to our troubled times, to bring back lost sheep and guide toward and keep Your faithful in the Father’s House.

  14. Thank you Bishop, for that amazing homily!! Beautiful!
    How I miss your daily mass! Thank you so much for inviting us into your personal chapel daily to share in this precious sacrament!! God bless you and all of WOF!!!

  18. Given how loving and compassionate a heart Jesus had for all those He had contact with, and given that we are called to love and be compassionate as He was, why do you suppose there are so many Catholics and Christians who do not do as He did, love as He loved, are not compassionate and merciful and welcoming as He was? The example is there, in Him, the words are there, the homilies from priests and pastors are there, what is missing? Why after all this time do we not yet 'get it'? That is, why have we not translated what we were taught, what we have heard, what we have seesfrom our faith leaders into action? I know we are imperfect, but that can't be an excuse, or else Jesus would have never given us, in His words and actions, the challenge. He MUST have thought we could do as He did, live as He lived, love as He loved, show mercy as He showed mercy. He knew what it was to be human too. So why have we failed to follow His loving heart?

  19. Trully, I love yo sing anytime especially during Mass,also whenever I feel to praise God through singing Catholic Hymns and songs. So Dear Lord have mercy on me if mistakenly of end my neighbor or God.

  26. Thank you so much Father Barron from this beautiful sermon about the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I was so moved by it. It reminded me of my childhood days in the rural area of the Philippines where I grew up. There’s this tiny Catholic Church across my elementary school in the town of Batasan. My 3rd grade teacher asked us one afternoon to volunteer to clean and sweep the floor of the church across the street. It so happened that I was the only who showed up. As I went along sweeping the floor, I looked at the statue of the Sacred of Jesus intently where the Heart of our Lord Jesus itself served as the main tabernacle. Even at that young age I was so fascinated on this Sacred statue where I noticed that everywhere I go at every corner of this church, It seemed like I was being followed just from the looks of His eyes. Then when I looked at His heart, I felt so at peace and so happy I truly believe now that it is in the Heart of Jesus where happiness can only be felt. G

  27. What a beautiful sermon, an intellectuals intellectual preaching at an intellectual institution starts at quoting theologians and philosophers only to lead to the Heart of Jesus.

  31. this brings to mind , How King David prefigured Christ , in being after the very heart of God and now that invitation is ours in seeking His Sacred Heart.The Sanctuary in Christ's Sacred Most Heart can be found nowhere else.
    Proverbs 21:1 – “The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes.”

    Thank you Dear Bishop for building us up in Christ. Love you and pray for you !! Jesus bless

  32. Thank you Bishop Barron. I've always wondered why there's a separate feast and devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Never truly understood it.
    This sermon opened my eyes. So beautifully explained. God bless you and continue to use you to build His kingdom.

  39. This is like the “discovering of America” in the 21st century. The theology of the heart which is the union of reason and will, is the core of Patristic writings and the spirituality of the Early Church. Dietrich von Hildebrandt is surely a great author, but the Catholic Church does not need to reinvent the wheel — it just needs to go back to its heritage, the spiritual heritage that has been faithfully kept by the Orthodox Church, for instance. It is so true that almost every “new bright discovery” is a well forgotten old idea)
