Moses spoke to the people and said: “Take care and be earnestly on your guard not to forget the things which your own eyes have seen, nor let them slip from your memory as long as you live, but teach them to your children and to your children’s children.” (Dt 4:1, 5-9)

Like the old song from South Pacific said in another context, “You've got to be carefully taught!” Those of us who were “carefully taught” love and respect for all people are eternally grateful for the parents and grandparents we had. It’s a shame that others received the opposite message. We keep 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.
