Fr. Glenn: Taking Stock
By Rev. Glenn JonesThe other evening I was privileged to attend the bedside of one of the oldest and most beloved members of our community as he slipped quietly from this world to the next. A founding member of our parish at Immaculate Heart of Mary, an Army veteran of the Manhattan Project, and one of the last remaining witnesses of the Trinity test, his eyes beheld much in life, and he was much loved by many. He was of that “greatest generation”… and I was his pastor, yes, but he was also a good and cherished friend. He had that graciousness, kindness Read More
Pastor Granillo: The Marriage of Jack and Jill
By Pastor Raul GranilloWhen Jill was first introduced to Jack, she knew something was missing in her life. Everything about him and everything that she had heard about him seemed to be exactly what she needed. Soon enough, she responded to his calls, and before she knew it, she had given herself in marriage to Jack. Jack adored Jill. He was willing and able to provide for, protect, and encourage her to become more than she had ever imagined possible. No one had ever loved her like Jack did. This was a marriage made in heaven.
Over the course of time, Jill felt as Read More

Letter To The Editor: Overtly Exclusionary National Day Of Prayer At Ashley Pond?
By AMY STOREYIn an April 27 press release published in the Los Alamos Daily Post (link), Leilani Christensen is quoted as saying,“Our forefathers founded National Day Of Prayer. Many of them had escaped persecution for their beliefs in their homeland. In the news today, we see that people are still fleeing their homeland because of persecution.” [sic]
Our forefathers, the ones fleeing persecution, didn’t found the National Day of Prayer. (They also didn’t found this nation on prayer itself; in fact, they explicitly stated, in the Treaty of Tripoli, “the Government Read More
Fr. Glenn: Giving…and Receiving…Criticism with Grace
By Rev. Glenn JonesCriticism—it’s something we’re quick to give, but loathe to receive. Even helpful and relevant criticism is often met with ire … though, certainly, when given in the spirit of good will, we would be foolish to disregard it out of hand.
Isn’t criticism/critique the whole purpose of grading in school, or even of peer review? Certainly everyone enjoys being validated, but we all can be blind to our own faults and failures. So, if we react dismissively or with hostility to any criticism whatever, how will we ever improve? Read More

Fr. Glenn: Living The Better Life
By Rev. Glenn JonesVery often people complain about their lives being tough or difficult. Certainly there are very hard and tragic situations—the unexpected illness and/or death of loved ones, or one’s child pursuing a path toward self-destruction and the like. Yet many of our problems tend to be of our own making, and sometimes our anxieties stem partially from our modern loss of perspective. After all, we here in L.A. County live in what is consistently rated as among the best communities to live in the U.S. The major employer pays well, food Read More

Fr. Glenn: An Unfinished Journey
By Rev. Glenn JonesA very blessed and happy Easter to all as we Christians celebrate the (literal, not figurative) resurrection of Jesus from death 2000 years ago. This is one of the absolutely central tenets of the Christian faith. For those unfamiliar with Christianity, know that we believe that Jesus died by crucifixion to take upon us the punishment each person rightly deserves in justice for personal wrongs against God and other people. He resurrected as the “first-born from the dead” in order to, at some undetermined time in the future, Read More
Pastor Granillo: All Good Things…
By Pastor Raul GranilloAll good things must come to an end. –Geoffrey Chaucer
There is a great deal of mystery that surrounds Mary Magdalene. Although the Bible says nothing of the sort, many believe her to have been a prostitute or an otherwise scandalous woman. What we do know from the scriptures is that Jesus freed Mary Magdalene from demons (Luke 8:2; Mark 16:9). After this we know that Mary Magdalene became a follower of Jesus who witnessed His crucifixion (John 19:25). In every gospel account, she is among the first to find the tomb empty and to testify Read More
