Fr. Glenn: Overlap

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Well … it’s been quite the “interesting” start to the new year, hasn’t it?

New York City has its first Muslim socialist mayor; that will definitely be “interesting” in the financial capital of the world. I, like many, find it hard to believe that, with the tragic history of socialism throughout the world, people are still swayed by its siren song. “Equity” sounds good, but that necessarily presumes equity in effort, ability, etc., which does not happen in practice. If I work harder to produce/earn more, it’s taken from me to give to someone who does not. So why work hard, or at all? Read More

Coastal Landscape: A view of the coastline, Highway 1, and the iconic Bixby Bridge is seen from a viewpoint about a dozen miles south of Carmel, Calif. and a short distance from the bridge.

Fr. Glenn: Making A Home

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Well, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and will continue to have a blessed Christmas season. The coming new year, too, inspires within us new hopes and aspirations, and we know how much those good anticipations rely on the health of our relationships with one another—especially with family.

So, it’s quite apropos in multiple ways that, on the Sunday after Christmas and after celebration of the remembrance of Jesus’ birth, Catholics celebrate the feast of the Holy Family and invited to look not so much at angels or miracles, but at a home. A family. That of Jesus, Mary and Read More
