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.
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ [the Son of God]. (Mk 1:1)
Sometimes we forget that when the first gospel writer put pen to paper, there had never been a gospel written before. How important that first gospel writer! Later church tradition put names to the originally anonymous four gospels. Today’s feast is not so much about a person . . . but rather the celebration of the first written gospel.
