Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes?’” (Mt 21:33-43, 45-46)

The passage from the Psalms that Jesus quotes “The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone” is the key text used by the early church to proclaim the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus. It is the Responsorial Psalm of the Easter Vigil and Easter Day. We continue praying for Ukraine.
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.
