Fr. Glenn: Not Me But Thee
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Have you ever noticed how politicians say “I” and “me” a lot? I mean … how can you not have? And their minions praise them to the skies … at least in press conferences; who knows what is said behind closed doors? Whether presidents, governors, mayors … representatives, senators, etc., so many seem to do it. But in a way it appears to diminish the actions of their subordinates who actually get things done. Anyone who has been in the military knows that officers oftentimes are praised though it’s the sergeants and the lower ranks who do the work. Even in churches, we priests and Read More

Shaping the Glass: Glassblower Wes Sweetser rolls a glass piece across the marver. The glass is attached to the blowpipe and rolled across the surface to create symmetry. After a short time, the piece is warmed again to keep the glass soft and pliable, which gives the artist more time to refine the process. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham Responds To USDA Suspension Of SNAP Benefits

SANTA FE – Today, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s suspension of SNAP benefits for 42 million individuals nationwide effective Nov. 1:
