Lessons from Ancient Heroes and Powerful Prophets (Part 2: Jacob and Jonah)

About this sermon

Friends, in this second part of my talk to the Maronite clergy, I focused on two Old Testament figures who serve as archetypes of the priesthood, Jacob and Jonah, as I continued to speak about the power and beauty of the priesthood. From Jacob’s story, we learn that we must be simultaneously rooted to the earth and linked to heaven so that we may serve as a conduit for people to a higher world. From Jonah's trials, we come to understand that when we surrender to God, there is no limit to what God can accomplish through us. ———VIDEO LINKS——— Lessons from Ancient Heroes and Powerful Prophets (Part 1: Adam and Noah): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sGIubjqxbI Bishop Barron on Misreading Genesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVsbVAVSssc Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon on Jonah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqGXDnG2Wus Bishop Barron on Being Called into the Depths: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBgmZdM0IKg ———WATCH——— Subscribe to this Channel: https://bit.ly/31LV1sn​ Word on Fire Institute Channel: https://bit.ly/2voBZMD​ Word on Fire en Español Channel: https://bit.ly/2uFowjl​ ———WORD ON FIRE——— Word on Fire: https://www.wordonfire.org/​ FREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): https://dailycatholicgospel.com/​ ———SOCIAL MEDIA——— Bishop Barron Instagram: https://bit.ly/2Sn2XgD​ Bishop Barron Facebook: https://bit.ly/2Sltef5​ Bishop Barron Twitter: https://bit.ly/2Hkz6yQ​ Word on Fire Instagram: https://bit.ly/39sGNyZ​ Word on Fire Facebook: https://bit.ly/2HmpPpW​ Word on Fire Twitter: https://bit.ly/2UKO49h​ Word on Fire en Español Instagram: https://bit.ly/38mqofD​ Word on Fire en Español Facebook: https://bit.ly/2SlthaL​ Word on Fire en Español Twitter: https://bit.ly/38n3VPt​ ———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE——— Donate: https://www.wordonfire.org/donate/​ Word on Fire Store: https://store.wordonfire.org/​ Pray: https://bit.ly/2vqU7Ftspiritual life for the sake of the world.
