Fr. Glenn: Big Week
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Big week this week. Superbowl Sunday. And then beginning of the Lenten season with Ash Wednesday … which, unfortunately, falls on Valentine’s Day this year. Well … maybe better to celebrate romance on Fat Tuesday this once, and thus keep whole the spirit of Ash Wednesday—that of repentance, for we Christians begin our annual “time in the desert” with Jesus in anticipation of the remembrance of His Passion and subsequent Resurrection at Easter.

This is just one of the dangerous temptations of power and fame: the capacity to use power and access to community goods for one’s own selfish advantage. And, of course, where opportunity lay, opportunists will then flock. Such is the magnet of statehouses and those in executive authority—from crooked cops to crooked presidents … from shady school board members to unscrupulous national legislators. Thus, Read More
