True Biblical Family Values - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon 2026 True Biblical Family Values - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon 2026 True Biblical Family Values - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon 2026 On this Holy Family Sunday, Bishop Barron explores the surprising and often challenging nature of true biblical family values. We often associate the Holy Family with sentimentality and emotional closeness, but the Bible offers a much more radical vision. In this sermon, Bishop Barron analyzes two powerful stories: the Old Testament account of Hannah giving her son Samuel to the Lord , and the Gospel story of Mary and Joseph finding Jesus in the Temple. Both stories reveal that true spiritual love isn't about clinging to our children, but about "letting go" so they can fulfill their God-given mission. Discover why doing the will of God must take precedence over even the strongest family bonds, and how this detachment ultimately leads to true spiritual freedom.
