Fr. Glenn: Evaluating Worthiness

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Ah, marriage. Ah, romance. As I forementioned last week, we had a lovely wedding Saturday. It’s quite the treat when we priests and ministers can witness at the tying of the knot with young people we’ve known since they were young lads or lasses. Of course, as you ladies know, dads almost never think anyone good enough for their daughters—that innate protective instinct. “Who dare think himself worthy of MY little girl?!”

In the divine plan, the coming together of Adam and Eve at the Read More
