Fr. Glenn: Seeking Incandescence
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
ELIZABETH: For we’re trying to find a fault in you.
DARCY: Maybe it’s that I find it hard to forgive the follies and vices of others, or their offenses against myself. My good opinion, once lost, is lost forever.
That’s one of the memorable scenes in the 2005 movie “Pride and Prejudice” that always sticks in memory. Yet such an attitude of unyielding ire tends to be modern (well, likely age-old) attitude of many: that once offended, offended forever. No going back, no retractions, do not pass “Go”.
Are Christians, following Jesus’ admonitions and example, free of such bitterness Read More

It’s not for everyone, but thankfully, there are other ways to summit the mountain without having to lace up your hiking boots.
You can drive the distance, which involves nineteen miles consisting of over 150 switchbacks and Read More

Fr. Glenn: To Sow Bountifully
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
9/11.
Even now, after 22 years, the memory of it sparks horror…sorrow…anger…regret. Few now younger than 30 will remember watching so much of it “live and in color”, and know the shock that was felt not only in our nation, but around the world. Scanning the skies. The grounded planes. “Let’s roll”.
“What regret?! We were attacked!!” Yes, but why? The regret for human disunity which led to that and similar tragedies. Greed, jealousy, prejudice, religious hatred, unbridled self-interest even when faced with those impoverished through no fault of their own. Hardness of heart. Read More

Española Valley
As promised, we are taking a deeper dive into the famous empanadas. These little pockets of nutrition are wildly popular and a great way to eat on the run.

Compact, versatile, portable, sweet or savory, served hot or cold, baked or fried, they made instant meals that could be served anywhere. They were a snap to make and were super cheap since smart and frugal cooks found it a great way to use up leftovers. Read More

Fr. Glenn: Tempted With Jeremiah
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
One thing that thwarts people from coming to faith is the perennial question: “Why do bad things happen to good people? If God loves those who are faithful to Him, why is that?”
It’s a question with no easy answer, though we know that hardships, difficulty and misfortune DO occur to just about everyone—those with faith, or not. The Biblical book of Job’s whole theme is that evil can strike even the best person. Jesus affirms this: “… those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who dwelt in Jerusalem? Read More
