Fr. Glenn: Finding Fulfillment
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Everyone on the planet seeks to find fulfillment. One might say that every living creature seeks fulfillment in its own way—growth, procreation, and life itself. Thus the plant reaches toward sunlight, the grazer to better pastures, the carnivore to where prey is plentiful. But, of course, with we humans, just life and existence and physical contentment is not enough for most; we desire more. We desire the satisfaction—the fulfillment-of having made a difference in our lives, whether that be with descendants, or discovery, or working to make others’ lives and the world Read More

I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member. Groucho Marx.
Since President Biden left the presidential race his replacement Kamala Harris has been vague about her policy ideas. In a few areas (like abortion) we know her positions clearly. And in a few isolated cases she has made detailed statements ($25,000 payments to first-time home buyers and not taxing tips).
But, the best way to know someone is by the company she keeps. At the recently-completed Democratic National Convention, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham was given a prime Read More
