Fr. Glenn: Pondering Love
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Periodically I pick up a little book by Peter Kreeft, a Catholic philosopher, entitled “Before I Go”, a collection of his musings about life and spirit that he wants to leave his children before he passes to the beyond. Unsurprisingly, a number of his short chapters focus on love, kindness, finding peace, and various virtues. Definitely worth the read.
In perusing a few chapters the other evening centering upon love, I found myself reflecting on the “why” of love. Why do we love. What do we want from it? Why do we do it? Why is it so visceral and seemingly ingrained into our very being? Read More

Fr. Glenn: Saints And Sinners
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Whew! Big couple of weeks coming up. Of course, all in the news is the coming election on Nov. 5. People have said that this is the most important election of our time, and that the partisanship is worse than ever. Well, maybe … but it seems we hear that every four years. But it is a civic duty—are responsibility of citizenship—to make each of our voices heard on election days. We may feel like we’re “a voice in the wilderness” in this third most populous country on earth, but as is said, each pebble helps make up the mountain.
With all the quadrennially-rampant vitriol, it’s a bit ironic Read More
