In the struggle against evil, there are fighters, pray-ers, and those who support the pray-ers. The Church is an amalgam of interdependent and mutually supporting missions. | word,fire,father,robert,barron,christ,sermon,sermons,podcast | Homilies | | 28 | 0 | | | 1afa8d07333541f4adf73f05a274ebb9 | @0|@0|@0|@0|@0 | | yes | http://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/ch/NHWvcC/42AnIconoftheChurch.mp3 | | | |
| 370 | b8pSR9 | Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time : The Wisdom of Qoheleth | Our first reading for this Sunday is taken from the wonderful book of Ecclesiastes. This Biblical text is made up of the cranky reflections of Qoheleth, an old man who has seen it all and done it all--and finds all of it "vanity and a chase after wind." Why do we attend to his rather sardonic meditations? We do so because it is altogether salutary to be reminded that our ultimate joy is found in none of the goods of this world. So sit down with Qoheleth, pretend he's your curmudgeonly but loveable grandfather, and listen. | word,fire,father,robert,barron,christ,sermon,sermons,podcast | Homilies | fatherbarron | 86 | | 0 | Father Robert Barron | 5 | http://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/8/2149_thumb.jpg | 2007-11-29 15:42:58.537304 | |

| 212 | BQVgPb | We're All in the Same Boat: An icon of the Church | At the end of his gospel, St. John presents a beautiful icon of the Church. Peter and his companions are fishing on the Sea of Tiberias. When they look to the risen Christ, they have success, hauling in a catch that symbolizes all the people of the world. This is the Church at its best: illumined by Christ, it gathers the nations into the ark of salvation. | word,fire,father,robert,barron,christ,sermon,sermons,podcast | Homilies | fatherbarron | 23 | | 0 | Father Robert Barron | 5 | http://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/8/2156_thumb.jpg | 2007-11-29 15:41:32.428222 | |
| 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 | |
| 418 | cmXfmh | The Irresistable Word | Our first reading, from the prophet Isaiah, shows that God's word is not so much descriptive as creative: it produces what it says. In the very intelligibility of the material world, we can sense this reality-producing power. We can also sense it in the Biblical word, an invitation into divine friendship. But we encounter it most powerfully in the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ. To what extent do we permit this reality-changing Word to take root in us? That is the challenge of our readings for today. | word,fire,father,robert,barron,christ,sermon,sermons,podcast | Homilies | fatherbarron | 136 | | 0 | Father Robert Barron | 5 | http://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/8/2131_thumb.jpg | 2007-11-29 15:43:42.347866 | |
