Love--willing the good of the other--must undergird everything else in Christian life. Even the strongest faith, if it is unformed by love, is nothing; even the greatest pastoral outreach, if it is not for the sake of love, means nothing; even the most spectacular spiritual gifts, if they don't conduce toward love, are worthless. In light of this reading, we have the criterion by which to assess the quality of our lives. | word,fire,father,robert,barron,christ,sermon,sermons,podcast | Homilies | | 38 | 0 | | | 4b8f80273c07a15300de24de3434225f | @0|@0|@0|@0|@0 | | yes | http://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/ch/MTgeGi/160TheStrangePathofLove.mp3 | | | |

| 404 | IOdJEj | Falling in Love With God | So many of us skeptical moderns--intellectual heirs of Descartes-- identify with doubting Thomas. We too struggle with faith, ask tough questions, want proof. And to some degree, this is praiseworthy. But the trouble with systematic and persistent doubt is that it precludes the possibility of love, for love is always a surrender. "How blessed are those who have not seen and have yet believed," because they have allowed themselves to fall in love with Jesus Christ. | word,fire,father,robert,barron,christ,sermon,sermons,podcast | Homilies | fatherbarron | 51 | | 0 | Father Robert Barron | 5 | http://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/8/1864_thumb.jpg | 2007-11-29 15:43:31.802759 | |
| 499 | 9rL2AM | What is Love? | In the thirteenth chapter of his first letter to the Corinthians, St. Paul sings a hymn to love. He tells us that love is "patient, gentle, kind, not snobbish" and that it "never fails." Love, after all, is what God is: willing the good of the other as other. When we love, therefore, we are sharing in the very life of God. | word,fire,father,robert,barron,christ,sermon,sermons,podcast | Homilies | fatherbarron | 35 | | 0 | Father Robert Barron | 5 | http://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/8/2166_thumb.jpg | 2007-11-29 15:44:52.689376 | |
| 210 | fhL36Y | Victory Day | Easter is victory day. Jesus came, in C.S. Lewis words, as a warrior to do battle with all of the powers of darkness, from oppression and violence, to disease and death itself. On the cross, he struggled at close quarters with the enemy that most frightens us, and in the Resurrection, he won the victory on our behalf. | word,fire,father,robert,barron,christ,sermon,sermons,podcast | Homilies | fatherbarron | 106 | | 0 | Father Robert Barron | 5 | http://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/8/2092_thumb.jpg | 2007-11-29 15:41:31.466492 | |
| 466 | HSvyxe | God Is Love | On the feast of the Trinity, we reflect on the uniquely Christian definition of God: God is love. Love is not something that God does, or an attribute that God has; love is what God is. This means that God must be a play between lover, beloved, and love--between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. | word,fire,father,robert,barron,christ,sermon,sermons,podcast | Homilies | fatherbarron | 40 | | 0 | Father Robert Barron | 5 | http://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/8/2083_thumb.jpg | 2007-11-29 15:44:30.989615 | |
