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.

For “who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to counsel him?” But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Cor 2:10b-16)

To have the mind and the heart of Christ—that is the promise of the Spirit we received in our Baptism. To see the world and everyone in it through the compassionate eyes of Christ, to touch the world and all those who are hurting with the healing hands of Christ, to love the world and everyone in it with the very Heart of Christ—that is our calling.
