From the propers this week, Fr. Harris preaches on a challenging Gospel passage where Jesus confronts the assumption that suffering is God's punishment. When bystanders recall Galileans slain by Pilate and victims of a collapsed tower, Jesus refutes the idea that their deaths signaled their sinfulness. Instead, He warns, “Unless you repent, you will all perish.” Fr. Harris exposes our modern tendency to judge others’ suffering as deserved—homelessness, addiction, violence—while complacently assuming our own righteousness. True repentance, he explains, is a “re-thinking,” a turn inward to examine what rules our hearts. Lent calls us to confront our personal “Pharaohs”—greed, trauma, comfort—and be reshaped by God’s sacrificial love, embodied in the Eucharist. The answer isn’t outward judgment but feeding our starved souls at the altar.
