Fr. Glenn: Do Likewise

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

As I scroll through the pictures of devastation wrought by the flood in Texas, many things go through my mind. First of all, there is the obvious: the tremendous power of nature unleashed—houses wrecked, vehicles tumbled, bridges collapsing. And so many lives—many of them just begun—gone. It is only the hardest of hearts that could not sympathize with an anguished heart, the sufferers’ plight, especially that of parents whose little ones are no longer here … and have not even been found.

Sadly, in a flood such as that with the many tons of debris and silt it carries with it, many Read More

Fr. Glenn: Not Yet…

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

So, we come to the end of a long Independence Day weekend—a time of celebration and rejoicing in our freedoms and our nation, and yet this year terribly marred by the tragedy of a number of young girls and others lost in flooding down in Texas.

Even if we had some irrefutable answer for it, parents and family are in no condition to receive it with wounds so fresh and so deep.

And yet, in our faith, we have little doubt that such little innocents Read More
