Two Marriages and Many Parables. Fr. Louis Harris. July 26, 2026.
From the propers this week, Father Harris takes us on a whirlwind tour through Jesus’s rapid-fire parables from mustard seeds and hidden treasures to drag nets sorting fish. But behind these vivid images lies a radical question: what are you actually giving your life to? Weaving together the Old Testament story of Jacob, Leah, and Rachel with ancient Christian wisdom, this sermon dives into why moral self-improvement isn't our ultimate end, but simply the groundwork that makes room for real, transformative joy. Tune in for a challenging, deeply insightful wake-up call to cut through modern chaos, clear out the clutter of fleeting desires, and go all-in on the truest treasure of the world.

The Wheat and the Ladder. Fr. Louis Harris. July 19, 2026.
From the propers this week, Father Harris tackles the age-old frustration with parables: why can't Jesus just be direct? It turns out, the cryptic nature of these stories isn't a hurdle but an invitation to the hard work of cultivating our inner lives. The field isn't just the world out there, but the complex terrain within each of us, where good and evil grow tangled together. The message is both humbling and liberating: we cannot make ourselves perfect, and our anxious efforts to tear out our flaws often do more harm than good. Instead, Father Harris calls us to trust the Master of the field with our moral development, to discern wisely but without anxiety, and to let the images of Scripture reorganize our thinking. It is a message to have faith whilst we make our pilgrimage up Jacob's ladder.

Scattering Seeds in the Sea. Fr. Louis Harris. July 12, 2026.
From the propers this week, Father Harris takes us into the chaotic, restless sea, the symbol of primordial disorder that God is always in the process of ordering. The parable of the sower discloses three conditions of the soul that hinder our reception of God's scattered seeds: the hardened soul that has stopped listening, the shallow soul that springs up with joy but cannot endure hardship, and the divided soul choked by cares and the lure of wealth. But rather than treating these as separate categories of people, they are stages along a pilgrimage; parts of the spiritual journey that we all must make. We begin hard and self-protective; we pass through trials that test our roots; and we constantly fight against the thorns of anxiety and beguilement. The key, he insists, is not finding the right textbook or teacher, but cultivating an interior disposition of attentiveness; an abiding inclination to love, such that we might bring our desire for understanding to the altar and to wade into the tossing sea with Jesus.
