Farewell Mass Homily, Mission Santa Barbara

Friends, as I prepare to depart Santa Barbara, my heart is filled with so much gratitude. I am grateful to the good people of this beautiful region and to Archbishop Gomez for entrusting it to my pastoral care. Leading up to the farewell Mass, I let the memories of my seven years as Auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles wash over me. The warmth and enthusiasm with which the priests and people here received me and the vital support from those working with me have been such tremendous gifts. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. In my sermon for the farewell Mass, I reflect on the past seven years and on the parable of the Good Samaritan. ———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/ ———WORD ON FIRE INSTITUTE——— Join Bishop Barron and over 20,000 evangelists inside the Word on Fire Institute at https://wordonfire.institute ———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
