The Stranger Simeon. Fr. Louis Harris. February 2, 2025.
In the propers this week, we are invited to reflect on the Feast of the Presentation and Purification, where an ordinary ritual becomes a moment of revelation. Simeon’s prophecy shifts the focus from celebration to transformation—Jesus will be opposed, Mary will suffer, and hearts will be laid bare. This marks our turn from Christmas to Lent: not just beholding God’s work, but responding to it. True transformation begins with honest self-presentation and a desire for deep purification. Through confession, repentance, and the Eucharist, God offers Himself so that we, too, might be changed.

One body, many members. Fr. David Houk. January 26, 2025.
1 Corinthians 12:12-31a Paul’s reminder to the Corinthian church that they are one is a timely word about unity and diversity.

A Third Mystery. Fr. Louis Harris. January 19, 2025.
From the propers this week, Fr. Louis unpacks the third mystery of Epiphany: the Wedding at Cana. Why did Jesus choose to begin his ministry by turning water into wine at a simple wedding feast? What does this miracle reveal about God’s nature, love, and the transformation of the ordinary into the extraordinary? This first sign points to the joy, intimacy, and divine love at the heart of our faith—and what it means for the way we live today.
