Fr. Glenn: Ever Searching
Fr. Glenn Jones:
It is tragic duty—and yet privilege—that we priests and ministers fulfill when with families and friends in times of dire grief—the unexpected death of a family member (especially the young), being present with them through sickness and trials … offering solace as best as able in circumstances which do not lend to solace easily … in times of weeping and pervading helplessness when faced with that which cannot be changed.
Such was my pondering during one of several funerals of young persons I’ve attended recently, recalling also the many (waaaayyy too many) of years past. Some Read More

Fr. Glenn: In Good Times And In Bad…
By Fr. Glenn Jones
Ahhh … a belated Valentine’s Day to you all. Flowers, chocolates, hearts, cards, muchas smooches. Luuuuvvv. Hopefully good romances and kindnesses renewed. And, for you husbands who forgot about it … I hope that couch is comfy. 😉
One of the greatest joys of priests and ministers is the blessing of marriages … brides coming down the aisle embodying scripture, “She was radiant with perfect beauty…” (Esther 15:5), and the congregation musing approvingly of the insight of the groom: “Do not deprive yourself of a wise and good wife, for her charm is worth more than gold.” (Sirach 7:19) Read More

Fr. Glenn: Light From Light
By Fr. Glenn Jones
A beautiful full moon rising above the mountains east of Albuquerque in a cloudless sky this evening … something I used to enjoy even more immensely looking east from the cliffs of Los Alamos as it bathed the Rio Grande valley in the softness of its light. Truly beautiful. Thank you, Lord.
Now, the more analytical among us could, of course, expound on the fact that the moon is really just a cold dark mass of rock and dust, devoid of both life and light, and that it simply reflects light from another source—that massive ball of hydrogen hidden from view which roils with constant Read More

Fr. Glenn: Overturning Tables
By Fr. Glenn Jones
Several years ago there prevailed among Christian youth groups a very applicable adage by which to live one’s life: “WWJD”—“What Would Jesus Do?” Since Christians (ostensibly, at least) long to fashion their own lives in the love and charitable principles that Jesus taught and demonstrated, WWJD always before a Christian’s mind’s eye and, indeed, should be the governing principle of his life. But, as a Facebook post I saw once stated rather humorously, what lay in the realm of possibilities of “WWJD” is overturning tables.
I happened upon Jesus’ table tipping episode (Matthew Read More
Fr. Glenn: ‘Take The Wheel!’
By Fr. Glenn Jones
What a world. Is this politician/celebrity/person being truthful or not? Or rather … is he simply seeking to further his own interests at the expense of others? It’s anyone’s guess. After all, we are deluged daily by the deceitful—scamming phone calls (“Let that warranty run out already!”), e-mails (“Boy, those foreign princes sure are generous!”), faked pictures and documents on unsocial media, etc. Sigh.
Now, we Catholics remember John the Baptist especially this weekend as we close the Christmas season on the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. The Gospels tells us that John Read More

Saint Job of Pochaiv News:
This year Theophany lands on Sunday, the 19th of January. Theophany, the feast and commemoration of the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River by John the Baptist, used to coincide with the celebration of the Nativity (Christmas).
But over the centuries separate celebrations developed.
When Jesus went to the Jordan, where John was preaching and baptizing, the people were gathering for repentance and the forgiveness of sins.
Jesus, being perfect and sinless, had
