Fr. Glenn: Searching … searching …
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
I saw an interesting post the other day:
“Just a reminder that 75% of the time you’ll ever get to spend with your kids is over by the time they turn 12. And 90% of your time with them is gone by the time they’re 18. So slow down, be present and enjoy these short, sweet years. They’ll soon be over.” Good advice. Just sharing. Remember “Cat’s in the Cradle”. Nobody at their death ever lamented spending too much time with their children.
On an unrelated note: we’ve all likely seen comics depicting aliens coming to earth with various themes of “Take me to your leader” or zooming back to outer Read More

Fr. Glenn: Hushing Hecticity
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Yes, yes … I made up the word in the title. But it seems applicable these days, no? We are constantly awash with noise these days. Always there is constant stimulation, whether it be streaming music or television, videos or surfing the web. If you live in a larger city, there’s always the sirens, traffic noise punctuated by the not infrequent roar of loud motorcycles and muscle cars—a type of modern chest-beating by younger (and some not so young) guys. We rarely, if ever, take time just to think … to be still, someplace quiet. So rarely resting in our waking moments.
Some say our modern Read More
50th Anniversary At Bodhi Manda Zen Center Sept. 8-10
BMZC News:
The Bodhi Manda Zen Center was founded in 1973 in the scenic village of Jemez Springs, as a place for Zen Buddhist practice and teaching.
Over the years, it has grown into a quiet and reflective retreat venue, meditation center, and teaching space. Many of our neighbors in Los Alamos have helped shape what the Bodhi is today.
Come join us and help celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Bodhi Manda Zen Center.
The Bodhi is planning a full weekend of fellowship, food, music, and activities for all of the Bodhi friends and Zen practitioners. There will be lots of time to reunite Read More

“First day of school” photos have been flooding social and news media this past week. More than 3,700 students enrolled in Los Alamos Public Schools this year. For many, back-to-school is a time of excited anticipation for the school year ahead, while others lament or are anxious and unsure. All, however, will be expected to step outside their comfort zones.
A comfort zone is Read More

Saint Job of Pochaiv Orthodox Church
Los Alamos
At the beginning of the summer I had resigned myself to not doing any art this year. I have a huge assignment from the Archbishop; to lead the self-study that will, hopefully, lead to our seminary receiving its full accreditation and therefore, national recognition. It is no mean feat. The thesis I produced to get my MDiv was simpler and will end up being shorter. Read More

Fuselier: A Visitor From The Past
By BOB FUSELIER
Los Alamos
Editor’s note: This is the first of a three-part series about the NPH’s work in Latin America.
It’s a rare event when I cross paths with someone who I hadn’t seen or spoken with in 35 or so years. Such was the case when Marlon Velasquez recently visited IHM Catholic Church. I hadn’t seen Marlon since the time Susie and I, along with our two children at the time (Jenny and Mike), were volunteering in the late 80’s at an orphanage known as Ranch Santa Fe or “the Ranch”. The home was set on a large piece of land in the mountains outside Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
Marlon was then a pequeño Read More

Los Alamos Jewish Center To Host Intro to Adult Judaism On Mondays Aug. 14, 21, 28

The story is told in the Talmud about the great and kindly sage, Rabbi Hillel of Babylonia, who was approached by a non-Jew offering to convert to Judaism if Hillel could teach him all of Jewish teachings while standing on one foot. Having earlier been rebuffed brusquely by Hillel’s colleague, the non-Jew anticipated a similar experience. “What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is all; the rest is commentary,” said Hillel, “now go and study it!”

Fr. Glenn: Make It So
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
I was meeting some people who had had a recent death in the family recently, and in the conversation they spoke both about the various virtues and quirks of the deceased—of the kindnesses of which they had been the fortunate recipients, and also chuckling about the quirky things that drove some of them nuts at times. Concerning the latter, one incisive comment that was offered when things got a little too uncharitable: “Yeah, but she never had meanness or a bad intention.” Not a bad, though rather sideways, compliment. Would that we could say that about all people.
After all, whom Read More

Fr. Glenn: Real Value
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
People certainly have varying ideas of what is truly valuable these days. Most people would point to family and friends first of all, I think, for what is life without love and fellowship, which we crave above all other things?
After all, wealth makes one comfortable and may enable many worldly advantages, but with it often come false friends, treachery, theft, etc. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fatted ox and hatred with it.” (Proverbs 15:17), and “Wakefulness over wealth wastes away one’s flesh, and anxiety about it removes sleep.” (Sirach 31:1)—both of these Read More

33But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, “Know the Lord,” for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord… (Jeremiah 31:32-34b, NRSV)
