Description

From the propers [https://www.lectionarypage.net/YearA_RCL/Easter/AEaster5_RCL.html]this week, Father Harris discusses the reality of living in a world that gives us every reason to be troubled. He reminds us that when Jesus commanded his disciples to "let not your hearts be troubled," he wasn't speaking from a place of naivety, but from the shadow of the Cross, offering a way through the darkness rather than an escape from it. By examining our tendencies to avert our gaze from the suffering of our neighbors or the critiques of our loved ones, we are invited to trade the paralysis of anxiety for a deep, intuitive trust in the trustworthiness of God.

On the Trinity. Fr. Louis Harris. May 31, 2026.

From the propers [https://www.lectionarypage.net/YearA_RCL/Pentecost/ATrinity_RCL.html] this week, Father Harris acknowledges the discomfort and confusion that often surround Trinity Sunday and its seemingly abstract, "out-there" doctrine. Rather than attempting a complex philosophical defense, he reframes church doctrine not as cold, rigid laws meant to dominate us or be weaponized against others, but as living wisdom meant to be inwardly digested, wrestled with, and infused into our hearts. Ultimately, the Trinity serves as a beautiful, dynamic image of the entire cosmos: a movement of love flowing out from the Father and returning through the Son. We are invited to step into the middle of this cosmic journey, moving past blind conformity so that we might be truly formed by this mystery and actively participate in God's love.
