In 2 Samuel 7:1-14, King David noticed that the Ark of the Covenant was living in a tent while he was living in a beautifully adorned abode of a king.

Fr. Harris meditates upon these questions and more.

In Mark 3:20-35, Jesus' family try to restrain him over a public outcry against his ministry. Jesus' famous words perplex modern ears: "whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit can never have forgiveness." Fr. Louis Harris reflects upon this mysterious passage along with the other readings from the lectionary in light of our nature as spiritual beings.
