Will the Good of the Other – Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

About this sermon

Friends, for the wokeist philosophy that dominates today, empathy—feeling the feelings of the other and not harming those feelings—is treated as a supreme value. But while empathy is perfectly good and decent, the Bible teaches that love, not empathy, is the supreme value. And love does not mean, primarily, feeling the feelings of the other or not hurting those feelings; it means willing the good of the other—and that can be, as Dostoevsky said, “a harsh and dreadful thing.” Mass Readings: Reading 1 — Ezekiel 33:7-9 Psalm — Psalm 95:1-2, 6-7, 8-9 Reading 2 — Romans 13:8-10 Gospel — Matthew 18:15-20 ——VIDEO LINKS——— The Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist: • The Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharis...
