Fr. Glenn: Point By Point

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Well, it’s Lent again already. Ash Wednesday is March 5 for most Christians, and as we move toward the remembrance of the Resurrection of Jesus in about seven weeks, Lent is our “time in the desert” to reflect on what we have done well … or not … in our lives, correcting lapses and seeking to conform ourselves ever more in the image of Jesus.

But distractions have always plagued us. This may be a reason Jesus apparently covered a lot of points in a relatively short time in His talks—making the most of the time He had with audiences. As any preacher knows, dwelling too long on a particular Read More

Fr. Glenn: Relinquishing Control

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

One of the things we hate in our lives is loss of control of what happens—to ourselves and within our sphere of influence. When things slip from that control, a sort of desperation stemming from uncertainty can take hold. And then we can be tempted to take shortcuts from what is ethical and right just so that we can regain that control. Not sure if you’ll get the promotion? Well … a little stab in the back of your competition—truthful or not—could be tempting. A little slander here, a little false evidence planted there … who’s to know? After all, I need that promotion more than they Read More

Where is the evidence of goodness in which I can engage in hope? This is a question I ask myself often these days. I limit myself to 30 minutes in the mornings in which I dedicate to reading and then praying “the news”. This practice is helpful to me so that I stay informed, but I do not dwell and perseverate too long on “bad news” that could easily lead to an overwhelming and even Read More
