These reflections are a result of more than 40 years of ministry as a Roman Catholic priest. Most of these years I spent in the Diocese of Charlotte which covers Western North Carolina. Now I am retired, and live in Medellín, Colombia where I continue to serve as a priest in the Archdiocese of Medellín.

Saturday, Week XIII, Ordinary Time—Feast of Saint Thomas, Apostle, July 3

You are fellow citizens with the holy ones
and members of the household of God, 
built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets,
with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone.
(Eph 2:19-22)

I remember that wonderful old hymn: How Firm a Foundation! Our firm foundation is the faith of the apostles, the faith of Peter and Paul, the faith of Thomas.
