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.
Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet
will receive a prophet’s reward,
and whoever receives a righteous man
because he is righteous
will receive a righteous man’s reward. (Mt 10:34-11:1)
One of my favorite spiritual directors was Father Joe McCloskey, S.J. (1932-2016). He always taught the shortcut to holiness: by recognizing the gifts of others we get to claim their reward! In a world where we need all the shortcuts we can get, it’s not a bad way to go through life!
