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.
Brothers and sisters:
I ask, then, has God rejected his people?
Of course not!
For I too am a child of Israel, a descendant of Abraham,
of the tribe of Benjamin.
God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew.
For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable. (Rom 11:1-2a,11-12,25-29)
How hard it is for some folks to accept the clear teaching of Saint Paul about the Jewish people . . . and of the Second Vatican Council in NOSTRA AETATE (1965)
