Fr. Glenn: Homeward Bound
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Still we view the human tragedy of war continuing in Ukraine. News stories speak of 15,000 Russian soldiers dead, the Ukrainian death toll likely be at least that many but also including civilians. We would have hoped that there could have been a much better path to resolve any issue than killing and destruction.
Who would have thought just a few years ago that such would come about? It reminds us of the brevity and ultimate unpredictability of life and of our inescapable mortality. As Jesus exhorts several times in the Gospels: “Watch; you know neither the day nor the hour…”—that Read More

Tales Of Our Times: The Question Of Judgment Is – How Judgmental Should We Be?
Tales of our Times

Judgment is truly an individual matter. This nation was founded on the notion that individuals’ judgments justify a nation’s government more than anything else. Now watch each political party promote its own ubiquity and power. Each party seeks more yet, to handle its sneaky rival. And the vision of personal judgments fades in strange new ways.
Interactions between the two big parties have made the political process less and less useful for making judgments. Neighborly sorts deplore society’s loss

With staggering disregard for logic, science and public opinion, Albuquerque’s City Council voted to repeal its own Clean and Green Ordinance, more commonly known as the single-use plastic bag ban.
The embattled ordinance began life in 2019 as a groundswell of public demand for action on plastic pollution. Enacted into policy in January 2020, it was suspended months later when fears of COVID-19 infection deemed single use bags Read More

Leonard: Our Pet’s And What They Teach Us About Life
By LAURA LEONARD

We recently lost our little dog Roxi to old age. In the past few days, I have been thinking about the innocence and joy that was the essence of her soul and felt compelled to write my weekly column as a tribute to her and all of the animals who live among us.
Roxi was pure happiness and she loved everything about life … especially food and attention. She embodied the ignorance is bliss vibe and didn’t have a care in the world about much of anything. In Buddhism, animals are considered sentient beings and we have a societal responsibility to care for them. Read More
