Beloved, you are faithful in all you do for the brothers and sisters, especially for strangers; they have testified to your love before the Church. Please help them in a way worthy of God to continue their journey. (3 Jn 5-8)

Saint Josaphat (1580-1623) was a bishop of the Ruthenian (now Ukrainian) Catholic Church who was a martyr to Christian Unity. We pray for the church in Ukraine and for the peace and safety of all the Ukrainian people. Today's photo is of the Ukrainian people in prayer.
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.
