Fr. Glenn: Passionate
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
So, we come this weekend (March 29 this year) to Passion, or “Palm”, Sunday … the latter name referring to the branches placed on the road as the Israelites celebrated the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. While that passage of the Gospel opens the day’s Catholic Mass, it hardly speaks to the whole of the day’s remembrance. Rather, in the Gospel of the day’s Mass and of other denominations’ observances, we have one of the longest, most poignant, and most moving excerpts of our year: the account of Jesus’ sacrifice of Himself—the Last Supper, the agony in the Garden, His arrest, false Read More

Jointly Reported Facts Are Mightier Than ‘Bipartisan’
We live in times of zealous palaver about being “bipartisan” and “working together.” Exactly what these words include is unclear. In times past, New Mexico Citizens for Clean Air & Water pursued ideas of our own that might qualify. Our goal was simpler and mightier than “bipartisan” or “working together.” We found mutual ways of telling missing parts of the whole story.
Over time, we learned that industry is no different from the cross section in every activity.
