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

Taking the Lowest Place: One of the greatest obstacles to effective mission is the attachment to honors and fame. This shrinks the soul and distracts from the only thing that matters: walking with Jesus on the path of discipleship. 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.

Commemorating the Faithful Departed: The Catholic Faith inculcates in us a deep sense of our connection to the dead.

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. These are actions that involve the body as much as the mind; and they are things that we "do."

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 Liturgy as a Display of God's Justice: In the liturgy, we realize ourselves as the Corpus Christi, the Body of Christ.

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

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