Fr. Glenn: Why Look You With Envy?

By Rev. Glenn Jones
Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church
Los Alamos

Looking across the parking lot outside my kitchen window the other day, I spied a coyote loping rather more rapidly than normal, pursued a few moments later by a golden retriever mix running for all it was worth. Kind of humorous in a way—the survival-hardened coyote easily besting the soft, house-warmed, city-dwelling retriever. The retriever almost seemed like he wanted to play, but the coyote wasn’t having it … taking “the better part of valor,” just in case.

It reminded of a spectacle years ago of a large dog running flat Read More

Fr. Glenn: An Easter Wager

By Rev. Glenn Jones
Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church
Los Alamos

A very joyous and blessed Easter to all—the most sacred day of the Christian year as we celebrate the very cause of our joy: the Resurrection of Jesus the Christ on the third day after His death by crucifixion 2000-ish years ago.

Why such joy at this event? Because Christians believe that Jesus was the Son of the one eternal God, and came to the world to: 1) teach us the perfect way to live in loving God and neighbor; 2) died to “correct” the “imbalance” in the absolute and perfect divine justice caused by the transgressions (sins) Read More

Visiting Paul regularly, Luke writes down his reminiscences, intending to write

Fr. Glenn: Peace Through Strength

By Rev. Glenn Jones
Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church
Los Alamos

Did you see the story of the French police officer who exchanged himself for a female hostage in a terrorist incident last Friday? Sadly, he perished in the subsequent events. But who cannot but admire someone willingly risking his life for another? As Jesus said: “Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13) How great a love, then, for one risking his life for a stranger … admirable in the extreme. Courage, strength, personal honor—all valued as supreme virtues since Mankind has Read More

Fr. Glenn: ‘He Is Inconvenient To Us’

By Rev. Glenn Jones
Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church
Los Alamos

Did you see the news story about a nativity statue being returned to a church 90 years after it was stolen? Stealing from a church, and thus from God; THAT can’t end well! This reminded of the scriptural story of 1 Samuel 4-6 and the Philistines’ plagues resulting from taking the Ark of the Covenant, ending only after they had returned it to the Israelites. Maybe something similar happened to the one who took the statue in the first place; who knows? And so … maybe someone will have pangs of conscience and return the small orange-colored Read More
