Fr. Glenn: Empty Tomb = Joyous Hearts!
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Well, a very blessed Easter to all! While Christmas is prerequisite in salvation history as God has ordained that history, Easter itself is the holiest day of the Christian year in our remembrance of the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Because, as the apostles write, He is simply the “first-born” from the dead; His faithful disciples are called to follow, and through His resurrection comes our hope for eternal life with God.
Of course, leading up to this great joy was pain … the extreme bittersweetness of Jesus’ Passion and death—so bitter in the divine who loves us literally Read More

By The Rev. Mary Ann Hill
On the Sunday following Easter, many churches read the story of “Doubting Thomas”. Thomas sometimes gets a bad rap. He really was more of a pragmatist than a doubter. He was a plain-spoken straight-shooter. His skepticism was completely understandable, given the circumstances. Like all the rest of Jesus’ followers, Thomas knew that his Lord was dead and buried in a tomb. But Read More

McDonough: Doing Something About State Of Education
By Patrick McDonough
Chairman
Excellent Schools New Mexico
A dear friend of mine has a standard question for his friends complaining about the state of education in New Mexico. He asks, “what are you going to do about it?”
Well, my wife Nella Domenici and I are doing something about it.
We believe this is the social justice issue of our time – the lack of educational preparedness that is systemic in underserved, and often ignored communities. We know, based on results being achieved nationally in underserved communities, and at our Excellent Schools New Mexico (ESNM) partner schools, that this Read More

Fr. Glenn: To Jerusalem
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Dang. Though by no means a British royalty watcher, I sure hated to see that Princess Catherine has come down with cancer. She seems like such an elegant, classy and yet down-to-earth young woman. She’ll be a lovely queen one of these days if she can beat this disease. Prayers for her and ALL who come down with cancer, and for all who care for them. Me and the bros lost our dad that way, so been there, done that. And who among us who have been around for a while hasn’t watched friends and family battle that.
There was also a headline not long ago of Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania’s Read More
