Are You Revolving Around God—Or God Around You? - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon

Are You Revolving Around God—Or God Around You? - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon
Are You Revolving Around God—Or God Around You? - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon
Friends, for this Thirtieth Sunday of Ordinary Time, we are treated to the wonderful and deeply challenging parable of the Pharisee and the publican from Luke 18. We are meant to see in this deceptively simple story a basic and clarifying principle in the spiritual order—namely, that the ego is meant to revolve around God, not God around the ego. And this might not be immediately clear: Sometimes the people that look the most religious actually aren’t very religious, and the people that look a million miles from God are actually in the right spiritual space.

Mass Readings:
Reading 1 — Sirach 35:12-14, 16-18
Psalm — Psalm 34:2-3, 17-18, 19, 23
Reading 2 — 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18
Gospel — Luke 18:9-14
