Bishop Robert Barron | When Your Faith Is Put to the Test - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon @BishopBarron | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
Friends, we come now to the Second Sunday of Lent, and we’re on both dangerous and very holy ground with the first reading from the twenty-second chapter of Genesis. The ancient Israelites referred to it as the “Akedah,” which means the “binding”: Abraham binds and is ready to sacrifice Isaac at God’s command. It’s hard to imagine another text in the Old Testament that has stirred up more puzzlement and opposition. I am with Søren Kierkegaard: if you don’t experience “fear and trembling” having read this text, you have not been paying attention. And it’s naming something of absolute centrality in the spiritual life.

Psalm - Ps 116:10, 15, 16-17, 18-19
