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.

Thus says the LORD: Lo, I am about to create new heavens and a new earth; The things of the past shall not be remembered or come to min. Instead, there shall always be rejoicing and happiness in what I create. (Is 65:17-21)

A new heavens, a new earth, and a new us--what a vision! Maybe there's hope for this old world after all. There’s definitely hope for Ukraine.
