When God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way, he repented of the evil that he had threatened to do to them; he did not carry it out. (Jon 3:1-10)

The story of the prophet Jonah is very funny. The pagan city of Nineveh believes the word of the Jewish prophet, repents, and is saved by God—all to the chagrin of the prophet!
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.
