A Shepherd's Voice

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Mt 5:17-19 - Jesus said to His disciples: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven." Bishop Strickland and Terry discuss the courage needed for bishops to proclaim the Truths revealed by Christ and His Church, the importance of repentance, conversion and reparation, and the Sacrament of Penance

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - MT 5:13-16 - Jesus said to His disciples: “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.” Bishop Strickland and Terry discuss his most recent letter on the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Mk 12:18-27 - Some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and put this question to Him, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us, If someone's brother dies, leaving a wife but no child, his brother must take the wife and raise up descendants for his brother. Now there were seven brothers. The first married a woman and died, leaving no descendants. So the second brother married her and died, leaving no descendants, and the third likewise. And the seven left no descendants. Last of all the woman also died. At the resurrection when they arise whose wife will she be? For all seven had been married to her.” Jesus said to them, "Are you not misled because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? When they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like the angels in heaven. As for the dead being raised, have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God told him, I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not God of the dead but of the living. You are greatly misled." Bishop Strickland and Terry discuss Harrison Butker's courageous stand for the Catholic Faith in the face of a hostile media and liberal leftists

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Mk 12:13-17 - Some Pharisees and Herodians were sent to Jesus to ensnare Him in His speech. They came and said to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are a truthful man and that You are not concerned with anyone’s opinion. You do not regard a person’s status but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not? Should we pay or should we not pay?” Knowing their hypocrisy He said to them, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at.” They brought one to Him and He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They replied to Him, “Caesar’s.” So Jesus said to them, “Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” They were utterly amazed at Him. Bishop Strickland and Terry discuss and explain the Universal Call to Holiness

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Mk 10:32-45 - The disciples were on the way, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went ahead of them. They were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. Taking the Twelve aside again, He began to tell them what was going to happen to Him. "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death and hand Him over to the Gentiles who will mock Him, spit upon Him, scourge Him, and put Him to death, but after three days He will rise." Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said to Him, "Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You." He replied, "What do you wish Me to do for you?" They answered Him, "Grant that in Your glory we may sit one at Your right and the other at Your left." Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the chalice that I drink or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?" They said to him, "We can." Jesus said to them, "The chalice that I drink, you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at My right or at My left is not Mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared." When the ten heard this, they became indignant at James and John. Jesus summoned them and said to them, "You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many." Terry discusses the truth of the Holy Eucharist, which IS the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus, Eucharistic Adoration, Holy Mass Summit and Source, Eucharistic revival, preparing for Holy Communion

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Mk 10:28-31 - Peter began to say to Jesus, "We have given up everything and followed You." Jesus said, "Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for My sake and for the sake of the Gospel who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come. But many that are first will be last, and the last will be first."

This inspiring message calls out the Bishops and Hierarchy of the Catholic Church. Some say that his words could get him canceled but we always highlight bold and courageous priests. It takes a lot to call out the errors in the Church and this time, Father Donald Calloway joins Bishop Strickland in that effort. This is just one of the many clips Barber shares with listeners in hopes of inspiring them to live a more holier state in life. Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mk 9:38-40 - John said to Jesus, "Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us." Jesus replied, "Do not prevent him. There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me. For whoever is not against us is for us."

Michael Lofton has gained some internet attention by calling out Bishop Strickland. In this episode of the Bishop Strickland Hour, Terry Barber goes through some old clips that explain the Bishop Strickland Situation perfectly. In using interview segments from Bishop Joseph Strickland, Barber pieces together the story behind the removal of Bishop Strickland. Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Mk 9:30-37 - Jesus and His disciples left from there and began a journey through Galilee, but He did not wish anyone to know about it. He was teaching His disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill Him, and three days after His death the Son of Man will rise.” But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to question Him. They came to Capernaum and, once inside the house, He began to ask them, “What were you arguing about on the way?” But they remained silent. For they had been discussing among themselves on the way who was the greatest. Then He sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.” Taking a child, he placed it in their midst, and putting his arms around it, He said to them, “Whoever receives one child such as this in My Name, receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but the One Who sent Me.” Bishop Strickland discusses his forced retirement by the Vatican and the possible reasons why. Catholic Harrison Butker has caused a leftist anti-Catholic meltdown in the media resulting in attacks against him over a commencement address he gave at a Catholic College, Benedictine College, to Catholic students, defending the Deposit of Faith

Saint Athanasius was 4th Century Bishop who was fighting a heresy that consumed popular opinion. With zealous and faithful preaching, Bishop Athanasius was responsible for numerous letters clarifying the deposit of the faith and the teachings of the Catholic Church. In times like today, many Catholics have been put in a situation similar to Bishop Athanasius. It may seem hard but Bishop encourages that is exactly where we should be. The world does not want to accept Christ's message and it is the role of the Catholic Church to preach it anyway. Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Jn 17:11b-19 - Lifting up His Eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed, saying: “Holy Father, keep them in Your Name that You have given Me, so that they may be one just as We are One. When I was with them I protected them in Your Name that You gave Me, and I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of destruction, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to You. I speak this in the world so that they may share My joy completely. I gave them Your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. I do not ask that You take them out of the world but that You keep them from the Evil One. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, so I sent them into the world. And I consecrate Myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth.” Memorial of Saint Isidore, Bishop and Doctor of the Church Saint Isidore, pray for us! Bishop Strickland and Terry discuss the need to model the fourth century Saint Athanasius, a Bishop who suffered great persecution by those in the Church because he spoke the truth in defending the Deposit of Faith

Every member of the Catholic Church who is living on Earth is subject to the Pope, the Vicar of Christ. This position does not make the Pope a perfect man. Being Pope does not free him of any criticism. Bishop Strickland joins Terry Barber on The Bishop Strickland Hour to talk about how we can remain in Christ's Church and call the Pope to Fidelity when he makes comments that are contrary to the Deposit of Faith. Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Jn 15:9-17 - Jesus said to His disciples: “As the Father loves Me, so I also love you. Remain in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. “I have told you this so that My joy might be in you and your joy might be complete. This is My commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from My Father. It was not you who chose Me, but I Who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name He may give you. This I command you:  Love one another.” Bishop Strickland and Terry discuss who, exactly, is the ultimate authority in the Church
