Are You Willing to Surrender to God? - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon

Friends, our readings for the fourth and final Sunday of Advent are all about maybe the central motif of the spiritual life. Our culture today is so self-oriented: It’s all about me and my choice. But that attitude is directly repugnant to the Bible; in fact, the Bible is constantly trying to move us out of that space and into a different space—namely, one of surrender to the higher purpose of God. Mass Readings: Reading 1 — Isaiah 7:10-14 Psalm — Psalm 24:1-2, 3-4, 5-6. Reading 2 — Romans 1:1-7 Gospel — Matthew 1:18-24 ———VIDEO LINKS——— Discussing Scripture with N. T.
