Fr. Glenn: Dust And Ashes
By Rev. Glenn JonesDurn.
While visiting my old parish briefly last week, I was informed that cancer—which she had valiantly defeated a few years ago—had returned in a wonderful 30-something young mother. But that ol’ cancer: no respecter of age or person, power or position is it. Prince or pauper, pope or private … life-threatening misfortune can hit any of us at any time, whether it be by sickness, accident or some other calamity. This only highlights one of Jesus’ most obvious, and yet most poignant, statements: “Watch, for you know neither Read More

Fr. Glenn: Gray Hair
By Rev. Glenn JonesAnother day, another gray hair … at least of the hair that still clings ever so tenuously upon my pate. Sigh. And still can’t get the barber to charge me half-price for the reduction of his labor. Oh, the humanity! 🙂
One of my favorite lines in scripture, having increasing poignancy as I get older, is “The glory of young men is their strength, but the beauty of old men is their gray hair [wisdom]” (Proverbs 20:29) Ah … the truth of it. How my youthful self gloried in endless runs and exercise … over hill and dale and countless Read More

Fr. Glenn: The Prescience Of Rodney King
By Rev. Glenn JonesWell … this weekend the government “shut down”—the perennial threat tactic when the two major parties can’t agree (Can’t agree?! Gee, what a surprise). The news thereafter becomes a blame game shouting match … accusations a’flyin’… and weariness for all of us on the receiving end of the news. It seems that whatever one party proposes, the other party feels duty-bound to oppose, lest the first party get the least particle of political benefit. Perhaps if the first thing to “shut down” was Congress’ salary … and ability to receive
Morocco: Beacon Of Hope For Christianity In Middle East
The Franciscan Church in Essaouira, Morocco was once a lively center of faith and community. Today, it is crumbling and not accessible to the public. Courtesy/High Atlas Foundation Throughout history, Christianity has played a central role in the Middle East and North Africa. Distinct sites from both the ancient and modern times demonstrate Christianity’s unique and vast place in the region. Tragically, Christianity’s cultural and contemporary position in the region is persistently under attack.

By Rev. Glenn JonesThis week’s uproar over the president’s reputed profanity (which he denies) in a private meeting simply highlights what seems to be an increasingly rapid downward spiral in societal propriety, courtesy and … well, just plain ol’ class.
Whether the president did say what is reputed, he would not be the first politician to use such crude language, and—sad to say—will likely not be the last. Obama, Kennedy, Nixon, Johnson, Cheney, Biden … all have had vulgar comments recorded, and doubtless the list could go on. Unfortunately, Read More
Fr. Theophan Mackey: Transcendence Of Mountains
By Fr. Theophan Mackey While driving the road off of the mountain, the vista of the Sangre de Christo Mountains opens before you. It is a spectacular view in every season. Right now they are capped with snow that has somehow avoided us here in Los Alamos.
However well we know the sight of them, they are very far off. Even if we look at maps or fly over them on our way in or out, they remain distant. Even our own mountain remains transcendent, unknown. If we hike some trails, some of it may become familiar, but mountains are big, mountains are seen in their entirety Read More
Pastor Raul: The Light Of The World Part 2
By Pastor Raul GranilloA man named John was sent from God. He came as a witness to testify concerning the light, so that through him everyone would believe in the light. He himself wasn’t the light, but his mission was to testify concerning the light. The true light that shines on all people was coming into the world. (CEB, John 1:6-9).
These words speak a very powerful truth that is somewhat taboo in our culture today. This truth affects us all as it speaks of reality and addresses the figments of our imaginations.
Light is important to us, because it
