Arizona executes murderer

FLORENCE, Ariz. A drifter who ambushed and murdered a volunteer sheriff’s deputy in 1982 was execut­ ed by injection W ednesday. Anthony Lee Chaney, 45, shot Coconino County reserve Deputy John B. Jamison more than 30 times with a semiautomatic rifle. The day of the killing, Chaney was being sought for burglar­ ies in New Mexico and Texas. Jamison, who was also a doctor in Flagstaff, had responded to a report that a fellow deputy had stopped a stolen truck in the woods outside Flagstaff and wasn't answering radio calls. The other deputy was handcuffed to a tree when Jamison arrived. Chaney opened lire as soon as Jamison pulled up. The officer never had a chance to draw his gun.

But it's not too late. V - 4 There are any number of ways to be about the business of learning more about our faith and deepening in our relationship with God. One of them is to enter into dialogue and inquiry about your faith with those around you, including your friends, the University faculty, the CSC and Campus Ministry staff members. Seventh Sunday of Ordinary Time The other is to take time for prayer. Whether it be in the context of a liturgy or not, take time to pause once in a while in the presence Weekend Presiders of God. And don't underestimate the power of the Eucharist and Basilica of the Sacred Heart the importance of entering to the communal celebration of it. It is no longer about your parents. It's about you.
