Fr. Glenn: Love And Self-Sacrifice
By Rev. Glenn JonesAs we come to Holy Week—the week which precedes Easter Sunday—there are many events upon which Christians focus: the Last Supper of Jesus with His apostles on Holy Thursday, His Passion (from the Latin “passio”, meaning “suffering”), His death from crucifixion, His entombment, and His resurrection early on Easter Sunday morning. Christians, of course, believe these events to be quite literal and quite historical, and Jesus’ resurrection is the very basis of our hope in life after physical death.
Of course, many don’t Read More

History Of The Crucifix At IHM
The crucifix on the alter at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Los Alamos. Photo by Elise LeeFor more than 2000 years the Roman Catholic Church has had the crucifix—a figure of Jesus crucified on a cross—as the focal point on the altar for believers as we enter our basilicas, cathedrals, shrines, churches, or chapels.
The crucifix is situated near or on the altar, and Catholics “bless themselves” by making a sign of the cross with holy water and bending the knee at the foot of the cross in reverence to Christ. The crucifix is a visible reminder of the Read More
Pastor Raul Granillo: Save Us, Our King!
By PASTOR RAUL GRANILLOA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!”

By Rev. Glenn JonesSpeaking of “judgment”, isn’t that one of our favorite pastimes—to make snap judgments of people … whether it be because of their clothing, their demeanor, their opinions or whatever, thus setting ourselves up as the supreme authority of what is acceptable? We disdain those of lower socio-economic status. We vilify those who dare to have different opinions Read More
Pastor Granillo: Seeing Light
By Pastor Raul GranilloJesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.” John 9:39 (NIV)
Eigengrau is the color that the human brain “sees” when we are in complete darkness. Apparently, it’s a shade of gray instead of black, as I would have expected. Even though no light actually exists, the brain still tells us that we “see” some light.
In a similar manner, cognitive scientists have shown that, in the absence of light, many people actually believe that they can still see their limbs as they Read More

The Humanities class at our high school includes a unit about world religions, and it’s been fun to participate as one of the invited speakers who speak about their religious tradition.
Each year, the students are very polite and inquisitive about my lecture on Judaism, and I am totally exhausted by the end of the day. I have no idea how a teacher can do this, five days a week, month after month.
I try to start my lecture with two apologies: Judaism accommodates a spectrum of observance and philosophies so I can’t help but color the presentation by my own views, Read More
