Fr. Glenn: Prepping For Inevitability
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Been having to do a few funerals lately in the little parish which I pastor on top of my main ministry, the latter being largely administrative (sigh). In large parishes, it’s normal to have one to several funerals each week, so I have it “easy” in that regard. We lost one of our archdiocesan priests on Good Friday, and a religious Sister working in Albuquerque a few days ago, too. Many priests and ministers live adjacent to cemeteries as well, and it helps to keep that inescapable reality always near to mind. Also, since Catholics and many other Christians pray for the dead, it helps Read More

Fr. Glenn: Good For The Soul
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
I came across a pretty good series on Prime the other day called “Genius”, in which four seasons cover some notable persons in history—specifically the lives of Einstein, Picasso, Aretha Franklin and Martin Luther King, Jr. The season covering Picasso focused largely on his many romantic relationships and rather hedonistic lifestyle, which resulted in much angst, anger, sadness and chaos in Picasso’s life and the lives of his various wives, mistresses and their resulting children. As the series progresses, the viewer can’t help but wonder if the real Picasso had many regrets Read More

In this Easter Season, we tell the gospel stories in which the resurrected Jesus came to be among his apostles. He first needed to calm them down with the words, “Peace be with you”, here Read More

Fr. Glenn: Hail The King!
Fr. Glenn Jones:
A very blessed and happy Easter and Easter season to all of you! And we ask for the same for the whole world. In these days of strife and division, what could be better than to have Jesus, the Prince of Peace, risen again to bring kindness, graciousness and charity to the hearts of all?
Ah, but what Catholic term as “concupiscence”—the “stain” of the turning away from God in Original Sin remaining even after baptism—keeps tending to weigh us down like a stone. How is it manifest? By our never-absent bickering, hatreds, jealousies, selfishness, along with all the negativities that Read More
