Fr. Glenn: Finding Wisdom

Today we celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord—of the “We Three Kings of Orient Are” Christmastime hymn. But, if you read the account in St. Matthew’s Gospel (chapter 2), you’ll discover that they were not described as kings, but simply “wise men”, or “magi”, from the Greek magoi. They probably got the “king” designation due to the pricey gifts they brought—gold, frankincense and myrrh—to honor the “newborn king of the Jews,” whom they sought.
But apparently before the magi came, St. Luke records (Luke 2:8-20) that an angel host appeared to the Jewish shepherds in the field the Read More

Fuselier: To Worry Or Not To Worry
By BOB FUSELIER
Los Alamos
From time to time I’m reminded that lessons learned years ago from our elders still retain their power to teach. My Dad died over 23 years ago, yet his words and actions are still guiding me. A lot of what I learned from him came from moments he wasn’t trying to teach me anything. The more I think of it, the majority of his most important lessons were given at those times teaching me something was the last thing on his mind. I would hope that my children could say something similar in spite of the fact that I “tried” to teach a lot.
I remember distinctly one lesson my Dad offered me Read More

In Cadiz and Jerez we were fortunate to see the dancing Andalusian Horses perform and to get a personal tour of the Valdespino Bodega specializing in Spain’s world renowned Pedro Ximenez Sherry.
