Fr. Glenn: Longing For Peace
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Well, the war with Iran today (3/8/26) at least seems to be about over. That regime doesn’t have much else left to fight with, and unless something unforeseen occurs, it’ll likely be done soon. And then the uncertain aftermath of such things.
“Why don’t they surrender?!!”, we ask, and hawks might add: “A people should know when they’re conquered.” But as Maximus replied to that statement in the movie “Gladiator” when the legions were facing a proud yet overmatched foe: “Would you?

Amateur Naturalist: The Remarkable Mountain Mahogany
By ROBERT DRYJA
Los Alamos
We are used to seeing the variety of plants in a general way. A ponderosa pine tree and grass in a lawn are both recognized as being plants.

The mountain mahogany is an example. We tend to think of plants as having flowers where seeds develop. The mountain mahogany has small flowers Read More
