Then the prophet Elijah prayed: “Answer me, LORD! Answer me, that this people may know that you, LORD, are God and that you have turned their hearts back to you.” (1 Kgs 18:20-39)

The story of the prophet Elijah and the 450 prophets of Baal is one of the most exciting in Scripture. But even more impressive is the prophet's simple prayer to the God who "can change hearts."
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.
