Considering Your Success as "Rubbish" - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon

In this powerful compilation of Sunday Sermons, Bishop Barron explores the transformative nature of the Christian life through three profound biblical themes: the surrender of the ego, the urgency of the Resurrection, and the adventurous risk of Faith.

The "Rubbish" of Success (Lent): Reflecting on St. Paul’s letter to the Philippians, we examine Paul’s impressive "resume"—his lineage, education, and zeal. Yet, Paul considers all these worldly achievements as "rubbish" compared to the supreme good of knowing Christ ,. Discover why true righteousness comes not from a resume, but from surrendering to Christ.

Why Apostles Run (Easter): Unlike the calm, detached musings of philosophers like Plato or Aristotle, the Gospel is urgent news ,. Bishop Barron highlights the recurring theme of "running" in the Resurrection narratives. From Mary Magdalene to Peter and John, the realization that God’s love is stronger than death compels us to move with urgency

Faith as an Adventure: Faith is often misunderstood as superstition or naiveté, but biblical faith is a courageous leap into the dark. Using illustrations from John Adams crossing the Atlantic to Frodo Baggins leaving the Shire , and ultimately the figure of Abraham, we learn that faith is a willingness to follow God’s call into the unknown.
