To the Father, through the Son, in the Spirit - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
Friends, today we come to Trinity Sunday, which has been called “the preacher’s nightmare.” But as you probably know from previous sermons of mine, I don’t agree with that at all. I think every Sunday is Trinity Sunday. The Trinity names what is most fundamental and basic in our whole theology and spirituality, and we should rejoice in talking about it! Today, let’s look at the Trinity through three lenses: the words of Scripture, an analogy from St. Augustine, and the viscerally real “so what” of salvation.

I truly believe that you may be one of the most effective and eloquent ambassadors that the Catholic Church has to the world of people who are searching for meaning. Expressing my own appreciation for the wonderful sermon.
As 2 Cor 5:20 says, all clergy are ambassadors of Christ. God beseeches us, laity, through them. Bishop Barron is a wise ambassador, a strong light in the mountains for us to get closer to God.
Trinity doctrine. “If you can't explain it to a six-year-old, then you don't understand it yourself” Albert Einstein.
Trinity is the unity of essence, form, and function. Essence is the Holy Spirit. Function is the function of essence - that is, creating all things. Function refers to the Father. Form is the manifestation of the function of essence, and refers to all things in the world. Among the manifestations of the function of essence, the most special and sinless manifestation is God incarnate - the Son. Trinity is the unity of essence, form, and function. Essence is the Holy Spirit. Function is the function of essence - that is, creating all things. Function refers to the Father. Form is the manifestation of the function of essence, and refers to all things in the world.

@@user-qn1fq8gr4i 1st Century (Eastern church)- Mark school of thought - Jesus is a 100% man and 0% God. A messenger like Moses. The Torah contains the law. The Gospel of Jesus is an extension to the Torah. 1st or 2nd Century (Western church) - Paul school of thought - He mixed philosophy with religion and abrogated the Law and called it OT. 3rd Century (Eastern church) - Arianism - the belief that Jesus was not equal to God - 4th Century - Trinitarianism (Western church - Lord God is Jesus of Nazareth. During the 4th century (In approx. 325, Trinity was canonized). Arius refused to sign the document of Osius, advisor to Constantine, which stated: * Acknowledging that there is only one God, Jesus Christ, to whom the divinity was transferred through the Father; * And that Jesus is an only-begotten Son, not a creation. *And has been around since ancient times. * And he cannot be changed or altered. * And that he is not just the will of God, but it is the actual existence of God!! Result of the audit: A new book must come from the Father to restore confidence in the scripture, and settle the dispute.
This is why Bishop Barron I came back to the Catholic Church and am now a Catechist, thank you so much, the Trinity is everything. How blessed we are.🙏 🙏
I was baptized thus Easter, such a blessing !! Stay strong it's not a life long sprint it's a marathon ! Stay vigilant to outside influences , I LOVE YOU GOD!! ☺
God bless❤

The ONE and ONLY FATHER ALMIGHTY is the HOLYSPIRIT that draws us to HIS SON our LORD JESUS CHRIST and grafts (reconciles) the branches into HIS TRUE VINE to produce much first fruits form HIS Harvest, as nobody comes to LORD JESUS unless the FATHER draws them to LORD JESUS first and nobody comes to the FATHER, except through the harvest of THE FATHERS TRUE VINE whom is our LORD JESUS CHRIST and for those branches that produce no fruit the FATHER cuts it off and throws it away, once grafted not always grafted Once saved not always saved for we must be Holy as the FATHERS HOLYSPIRIT is HOLY and dwells in us through HIS HOLY SON our LORD JESUS CHRIST, blessed is the FATHERS creation that receives HIS RECONCILIATION WHOM is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE, that all creation came through, and nothing that was created did not subside HIS RECONCILIATION, and all things created through HIS RECONCILIATION by THE MEANING OF FATHER and for the FATHER into the Kingdom of HIS RECONCILIATION from the dominion of darkness into the dominion of LIGHT, the power and Glory to the FATHER AND HIS SON for ever and ever AMEN.

@@theforestrealtorkathrynlow5090 thanks,
Please pray for me and my children. Prayers are all I need. I’m so discouraged and I’m losing hope. I’ve had so many people come against me that do not know me or my situation. OUR HEAVENLY FATHER KNOWS the truth and my heart! My struggles are real! Jesus hear my prayers. I still trust in you and will keep my faith even though it is so very difficult at this time. I’m constantly faced with hardships and can barely support my two sons. Both of my boys are autistic and non verbal. I’m a single mom and I’m overwhelmed. Since covid I can’t seem to get back on my feet. I lost my job at Forsyth hospital for declining the vaccine. I declined because of my health conditions lupus and heart disease. I recently started waitressing and I’m glad to be working. But I’m just not making enough to get by. Every month is a struggle choosing groceries over paying bills. Struggling to pay rent. I know God doesn’t give us more than we can handle I will keep faith even though I truly want to give up. Jesus hear my prayers and keep me and my children safe I’m losing hope. ❤
Praying for you and yours
Prayers for you and your boys.
I'm praying for you.
@ChildofGod Please don't despair I have just prayed my Rosary for you and your sons,I hope things will get better for you soon ❤
Please do the sacred heart novena this month .. .. feast day is the 16th .. I promise to include you in my novena.. Sacred Heart of Jesus i place all my trust in thee ..❤
Is it an overstatement to say Bishop Barron is one of the most important, and needed, leaders in the church today? He has an amazing ability to teach and make sense of things that can seem to be impossible to understand.
No. Not at all. He is the FULTON SHEEN of our times.
I agree!
the basis of religion is god is one, there is no partner, only him is worshiped, all religions and Islam prohibit evils, for example, alcohol, gambling, interest, adultery, murder is prohibited, slander, lying is bad, family is sacred in all religions, it is very important to do good to parents and the environment, prayer and fasting were in every religion❤❤
LOVE is our ANSWER. Let's FEAST on LOVE ❤️ and Fast on Evil. "Love One Another As I Have Loved Youl" Jn13:34. DEEDS not WORDS.
Our Catholic faith is so rich, deep and complex that every time I listen to one of Bishop Baron’s sermons I feel like a child listening to a teacher who explains something so clearly that a lightbulb of understanding gets turned on and joy is achieved!
You nailed it. We are like a child being taught all over again, and again. The lightbulb. Which I pray everyday to shine upon us even in our darkest moments.
Couldn'r agree more!

@@patriciabargas1045 He is/was a professor - wouldn’t I have loved to have had a professor like him when I was in Uni. I wouldn’t have missed a class!!
Bishop, can’t wait for you to be our Cardinal in Chicago. We need you to rebuild our Church
When I consider my younger 'self', it is only with the grace of God's forgiveness that I can offer myself compassion. Indeed, I need His mercy every day.
God bless Bishop Barron. He is an incredible preacher, makes everything so clear. Things that are almost impossible to really grasp. And for the record I'm a traditional Catholic and I want to tell my traditional friends that this Bishop is no "liberal" Catholic. I said that as some of you say repeat that lie. He is just a holy priest, you can't put a label on him, as it should be. He is 100% faithful to the magisterium. He is certainly and intellectual, speaks several languages, etc. He is just a holy son of God and a great bishops who should be made a Cardinal. Let's pray for that. Is payer can move mountains, it can make our reverent Bishop a Cardinal. Amen.
Truly, you must have been fully inspired by the Holy Spirit to deliver such a speech. GOD bless you Bishop.
While the Trinity is a mystery that we can't completely comprehend, it's clear that we see the effects of the Trinity in the love we experience with one another, the Love the Trinity shares, especially as God pours Himself out in the Son so we can be part of the Love that is the Holy Spirit. I like how Bishop Barron uses gestures to illustrate his big idea in this sermon. And yes, we celebrate Trinity Sunday every Sunday because we begin and end the highest form of prayer, the Mass, with the Sign of the Cross. Alleluia!
Greetings from Holy Russia 🇷🇺 Trinity Sunday next week for us.
Im an Anglican Christian and this is an amazing sermon amen God Bless and Christs Love always be with you ❤
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” 2 Corinthians 13:14
As a newer Catholic, this made so much more sense to me. Thank you!
Welcome to the family. God bless you. 9:55
Brilliant and anointed sermon, Bishop! The Holy Trinity is sometimes hard for us to get our heads around, but this makes so much sense.
Thank you Heavenly Father for the blessing you have given Bishop Barron your gift of reaching us with this message of the beauty of the Trinity. Love you
Thank you, Bishop Barron, for explaining our faith with simplicity.
Thank you so much Bishop Barron. I'm so blessed to listen to your sermon. Greetings from Indonesia. ❤
"Every Sunday is Trinity Sunday!" Amen! ❤

Trinity doctrine. “If you can't explain it to a six-year-old, then you don't understand it yourself” Albert Einstein.
@@extraordinary.verses Einstein in no way was referring to a Sunday Sermon or any other religious topic.
Thank you Bishop Barron for the lucid explanation of the Holy Trinity. The Sign of the Cross has been enriched with the words 'He sent His Son and gathered us in the Holy Spirit'. We have always known this because the Church has taught us and God has whispered this truth to us and now we have heard this clearly. We carry the Holy Trinity with us all the time. How best we are by our God of Love.
Fr Edward Holloway, developing Aquinas, expressed the point this way: God says eternally, "I knowing Myself, loving Myself, Am."
Estimado Obispo Barron, ¡qué tal explicación teológica que nos ha dado! No había visto la Trinidad desde ese punto de vista. ¡Me ha enseñado a verlo todo nuevo para gloria de Dios! Y especialmente a darme cuenta de lo valiosos que somos los seres humanos al ser creados a imagen de Dios, de esa Santísima Trinidad. God bless you, Bishop! Kind regards from Lima, Peru. Katherine Vargas.
Thank you for explaining the beautiful Holy Trinity Bishop Barron!.

Wonderful, informative homily... and probably the best explanation of the Holy Trinity I have ever heard! Thank you Holy Spirit for speaking to me through Bishop Barron (a gift to us all!)! All glory and honour is 'Yours' Almighty Father!
I don’t know anyone who can explain complex things the way Bishop Barren can
Thank you Bishop Barron 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dearest Bishop Robert Barron, Good Morning! Thank you for the Sunday sermon today. The holy trinity is my faith and my salvation. Hymn! Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty, there are three distinguishable persons; the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each person is God. They're known as my comforter, shapes my life, guides my decisions to be available to others, and protects me from physical and spiritual danger. When I looked deeply at Jesus on the cross, I stood for His pain and the grief of the Our Lady of Mother's sorrow because, without the Holy Trinity, I don't have strength, peace, joy, and forgiveness. Bishop, thank you for all your prayers for my family. I pray the Trinity draws near to us as we continue to spread the word of God. I hope our relationship has joined as one flesh with the grace of the Holy Trinity. God bless you all. Most Holy Trinity, pray for us. Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us. St. Joseph, pray for us. Faithfully yours, 👵Cecilia Dreger and family ( 👀- farewell Father Rory Pitstick) Wilbur Sacred Heart Parishioners( Bishop Thomas Daly_________🧔♂).
Thank you.
Fantastic sermon, thank you. Simple yet profound. I love thé Bishop’s astonishing intellectual ability, yet he never talks down to us.
Thank you Bishop Barron❤😍🌏
Bishop Barron - thank you for continuing the Sunday Sermon and sharing your analogy to help us better understand God's unconditional love for us. This analogy has provided comfort for me with my own fears and doubts. I thank you.
Fr Edward Holloway, developing Aquinas, expressed the point this way: God says eternally, "I knowing Myself, loving Myself, Am."
I have to listen to this a few times. Thank you
Yup … lol
for you will not abandon me to Sheol, you cannot allow your faithful servant to see the abyss. You will teach me the path of life, unbounded joy in your presence, at your right hand delight forever. (Ps. xvi. 10, 11)
The best Holy Trinity homily I’ve encountered. Thank you Bishop Barron. Thank you WOF. Most of all, thank you Lord for letting us know more about you by revealing your triune nature.
I agree! May God continue to bless Bishop Barron and WOF ministries. Thank you Mighty God for your love and grace 🙏
Thank you Bishop ... from Africa, Ethiopian Orthodox church
I enjoyed so much the 6 lectures on the Mass!!! Set a fire in my heart to attend mass!!! I cannot even take communion yet, I’m in RCIA but I want to participate so much now after watching them!! I loved the analogy of the mass being the hugest form of play… 🙏🏼
Amen! I still have to check out his series, but I'm looking forward to it. I went through RCIA last year and it was great! It set a fire in me to keep learning more and getting closer to Christ. Blessings! 🙌
Great book suggestion: A Biblical Walk through the Mass by Edward Sri. Our Mass is so powerful and beautiful.
God Bless You Bishop Barron🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, Your Grace, for breaking this open with such clarity.
And bless you too ❤🙏 Always learning from His Grace ❤️
Es el mejor pastor de América..... Amén!!!!!
Thank you Bishop Barron. That's the clearest exposition of this most important of Christian mysteries that I've ever heard. So helpful... and God bless.
This man will be known as a great American saint in the future. God bless and thank you, Bishop Barron, for all you say, do, express, and preach.
When I say the creed now my understanding of the Holy Trinity will become clearer! Thank you for this wonderful sermon and a Happy Trinity Sunday to you.
I was at the ordination of priests today for the first time. WOW. What a special time. If you look forward to Easter vigil- and you haven’t gone to an ordination-- GO. it’s great.
May God bless and give you log life you are a blessing to my walk to get closer to God every day.
again a beautiful sermon! look forward to this every week! Thank you Bishop!
This was amazing. It blew my mind, trying to think of that analogy, and it brought me great comfort, by the power of the Holy Spirit, that God has made me, a lowly sinner, share in His Divinity, by the Sacrifice of The Son who brought us back to God in an even greater way than before. Thanks be to God!
Thank you, Bishop Barron. You’ve taken a topic that for many years I accepted, but perhaps did not understand completely, and gave it new clarity.
Thank you and Bless you Bishop Barron 🙏🏽📿
Great job Bishop Barron! You’re ability to break down these complicated ideas into understandable terms is a blessing.🙏
Love to hear about Trinity… thank you Bishop Barrón. God bless you
Thank you Bishop your words keep the fire alive.
This is the best description of the Trinity. Thanks Bishop Barron for your wisdom and ability to break down a complex topic in a way we can understand. God bless you today and every day!
This so much helps the understanding of the mysterious 3 persons, 1 God concept. Thank you, Bishop Robert Barron.
Your amazing i love the way you make Jesus real ❤
Thanks for this talk. Really appreciate it this Sunday. SDG
Wonderful sermon. Best explanation of the Trinity that I've ever heard. Thank you.
Thank you Bishop Barron. Every one of your sermons makes everything so much clearer for me but this sermon especially. My two daughters have fallen away from their Catholic upbringing; I am sending them this Trinity sermon.
This is the Best Theology of Trinity I have ever heard. You are a truly inspirational catholic priest and Bishop. Thank You a lot, Bishop Barron.
Happy Feast day of Charles Lwanga.
Pray for us 🙏
Praise God! Thank you for coming to gather your children ❤
Nunca me canso de escuchar a cerca de este misterio de Dios … gracias Obispo Barrón.
The best explanation of the Trinity I have heard. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you Bishop Barron.
Thank you so much, Bishop Barron for this enlightenment!🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much Bishop Barron for such a beautiful, clear explanation of the Holy Trinity. It was very helpful when You compared it with the process of our spitiritual direction. God Bless You!
Thank you Bishop, for all the work that you do serving God. I have recently returned to the church after a long absence and I gave my first reading today 😊
God Bless you always Bishop Barron 🕊️✝️🙏❤️
thank you so much for offering us a way to explain this as Catechists. This is fabulous
Thank you Bishop. Thank you!
Perfection ❤thank you so much for this wonderful explanation ❤
Wow! Thank you, Bishop Barron.
❤ thank you thank you
Gathered by the Son to get us back to God's love...the most beautiful trinity Sunday talk... Mabuhay Bishop Barron..
Well said, your Grace. I was discussing this with a pious but open-minded Muslim yesterday who could follow the logic or apologetics of the Trinity, but still could not accept this mystery in faith. Since conversion to faith is a grace from God, perhaps you would be open to making a video on how not only opens the mind to understand Christian mysteries, but how God's grace prepares and open's one's heart by grace for faith, love, and charity. How this happens would be interesting. I entrust it to your consideration for the glory of God.
I totally understand and appreciate the clarity in this anointed Word of God from Bishop Barron.
Nothing but the truth. Amazing journey. 🙏💕
That was a great analogy to explain the mystery of the Trinity. Thank you Bishop Barron :)
Bishop that was the Best explanation of the Trinity.
BISHOP BARRON: *It's because God is a Trinitarian play of persons that we can be saved.* Not just outside of God begging for mercy but now, *through Grace, inside the dynamics of God's life, gathered by the Son into the power of the Holy Spirit.*
St Augustine would be proud of the bishop.
The three Persons in the Trinity refers to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Here, the Father refers to God the Father. The Son refers to the beloved Son of God, God incarnate - Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is formless and everywhere. They are the three Persons in the Trinity.
Amen amen amen!!!
Amen. 🙏
Your explanations are so easy to understand and enlightening to the average person like me that I can follow with ease and understand the direction you're leading us through your entire sermon, something I don't think I have ever been able to do before. I thank you Bishop for everything you do. Blessings from Kansas~
Thank you Bishop Barron ❤
Thank you Bishop Barron for this lovely interesting sermon. May GOD bless and protect you always. ➕️ ♥️
Absolutely beautiful, thank you and God bless you Bishop Barron.
Lord Jesus have mercy on us. Forgive us for our sins. l surrender all our problems under your feet. Thank you lord Jesus Praise to you lord Jesus. l love you lord Jesus.
Amen, amen.
Thank you Bishop Barron ✝️🕊️🙏
Bishop thank you ❤. Glory to God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. God bless you 🙏.
Amen ✝️🕊💖 well said!
I am so blessed to have been guided by the Holy Spirit to your videos. I have learned so much from you. This particular talk was exceptionally meaningful to my heart. May God keep you and protect you. 🙏🏽 Thank you, Bishop.
Great sermon. Great teaching... Thank you God for using your servant Biship Barron 🙏
Thank you Bishop!
Thank you Bishop Barron. At yesterday’s evening mass, a 29 yr old priest (can you believe?) used a similar example to explain the mystery of the Holy Trinity and your explanation this morning as I listened, has brought an explosion of light (understanding) to my little brain. Through the method of analogies, you have cleared that mystery! The mystery has been clarified!! THANK YOU!!! I pray for you, Bishop Barron!
Bishop Fulton Sheen “Loving is obeying If you love me you will do my will God will provide Offer everything up to our Lord Having the Christ Spirit inside us Get to know Jesus by knowledge and learning his word If you need counseling seek it from the saintly and those who suffered While we live Christ is with us when we die we are with him “
🙏🙏🙏🙏Amen Bishop Barron.. Thanks and May God Bless you👋👋👋👋
As always, you move my spirit!
Thank you! Best explanation of the holy trinity I ever heard. Especially how you ended it, the sign of the cross has a much clearer meaning to me now. 🙏❤️
Wow. That is deep!
This was a new way, to me, to 'explain' the Holy Spirit. It really resonates with me! I may go back and listen again just to get all the fine points! Thank you so much, I appreciate you!
Excellent Bishop... thank you, and God Bless you
Remarkable sermon. Always on point.
