“He (Jesus) was praying in a certain place, and after he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.’

So he said to them,

‘When you pray, say:

Father may your name be revered as holy.
May your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us.
And do Read More

Chamberlin: Response To Kelly Myers And Emma Abata

I wish to respond to the July 22 Op/Ed from Kelly Myers and Emma Abata (link).

I share their moral concern for the pain that the Palestinian people have experienced in the past 77 years, and I share their grief for the thousands of Gazans who are reported to have been killed, injured, or malnourished in the current conflict.

The situation is all the more tragic because so much of the Palestinians’ pain has been perpetuated by their own leadership, and maintained and fostered for decades by the UN agency that should have provided resolution to their displacement.

Goldman: About Benson’s Response To Rabbi Shlachter

by

By TERRY GOLDMAN
Los Alamos

I write to appreciate Jody Benson’s civilized response (link) to Rabbi Shlachter’s post (link).

Of course, I have some quibbles with language. Bret Stephens’ NYT opinion piece (link) covers better than I can, the misuse of the word “genocide”. Benson degrades the meaning and power of that word just as those who call someone a Nazi for their bad (not even evil) behavior. We should all be more careful in our use of language.

My other objection is to the use of the term “ethnic cleansing”. As a member of a very large family of people repeatedly subjected to ethnic cleansing Read More

Fr. Glenn: Time For A Fix

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Busy, busy, busy. It seems that we are so busy in our day-to-day. Jobs, kids … family and friends obligations. Yet frequently our time is filled with events and obligations that we make ourselves and yet are not particularly important in the scope of our lives.

Sometimes it seems almost as if we can scarcely stand NOT to be occupied with something, as if we’ll miss out on something in our lives’ limited—and thus precious—time. We have an endless variety of things to occupy our attention—not only jobs, but optional and entertaining things like concerts, movies, internet, sports, Read More
