Fr. Glenn: Moral Courage
By Fr. Glenn Jones
More days than not we Catholics commemorate the memory of a certain saint—not worshiping them as is often mistakenly thought by non-Catholics, but rather a remembrance of their examples of fidelity to Jesus Christ and to virtuous life. Last week in part of our commemoration was a wonderful phrase describing the saint of that day:
It is hard to imagine a much better epitaph for a Christian … or for anyone else for that matter—to always seek that which is truly right and good—moral character—eschewing that Read More

Fr. Glenn: The Beauty Of Life
By Fr. Glenn Jones
Gonna’ be a blessed week! Though no longer the pastor of IHM, we “former pastors” cannot help but keep tabs on our beloved former parish. And, this week, the parish family is expecting yet another addition (cue squeals of glee). So, like Phil Robertson used to say on “Duck Dynasty”, we’re “Happy, happy, happy!” It’s the first for the parents and grandparents, so you just know the kid is going to be spoiled to death … especially if ol’ Uncle Father Glenn gets to visit.
The births in any parish come in waves. There were (and hopefully will continue to be) the continual joy of burgeoning Read More

Fr. Glenn: ‘We Call Those Happy Who Were Steadfast’
By Fr. Glenn Jones
Well … almost a month absent from Los Alamos already. One thing is nicer for these old bones here in Albuquerque, though: it’s a lot warmer—averaging 10-15 degrees warmer daily. Yet … ponderosas are scarce … canyons almost non-existent … mountains more distant … the coyote chorale simply a memory. Ah, the remembered blessings of LA…
Now have been a month at the new job—with lofty title of “Vicar General”, but more descriptive would be “paper pusher”, for large part. Sometimes in conversation Archbishop Wester refers wryly, with a bit of sarcastic sting: “When I Read More
