But this type of religiosity is inimical to the Biblical vision. Just listen to the opening line of our reading from Paul's first letter to the Corinthians: "Paul, called by God's will to be an apostle of Christ Jesus." Paul is not actualizing his own agenda, but rather utterly turning himself over to the higher authority who has called him, claimed him, and sent him.word,fire,father,robert,barron,christ,sermon,sermons,podcastHomilies3504b9cc92e28996b71a97cbef160f596c6@0|@0|@0|@0|@0yeshttp://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/ch/PGdU9K/211TheyAbandonedEver.mp3

210fhL36YVictory DayEaster 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,podcastHomiliesfatherbarron1060Father Robert Barron5http://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/8/2092_thumb.jpg2007-11-29 15:41:31.466492
258oa7fRLLazarus, Come OutOur God hates death. He wants us to rise from our graves. Whenever life is compromised in any way, Jesus says, "Come out!" We are meant to see his tears of sorrow and hear his voice of command.word,fire,father,robert,barron,christ,sermon,sermons,podcastHomiliesfatherbarron940Father Robert Barron5http://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/8/1973_thumb.jpg2007-11-29 15:41:54.49709
418cmXfmhThe Irresistable WordOur 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,podcastHomiliesfatherbarron1370Father Robert Barron5http://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/8/2131_thumb.jpg2007-11-29 15:43:42.347866
