Jesus said to his disciples: “Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you.” (Mt 7:1-5)

In a time of such division in the political world as well as in the ecclesiastical realm, these words from Jesus will probably not be received as Good News. In fact, they never have been. But instead of being discouraged . . . we keep the faith and continue to work for a more humane world and a kinder, gentler church.
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.
