Jesus said to his disciples: "Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Give and gifts will be given to you. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you." (Lk 6:36-38)

This is one of those Bible passages that we hear and then completely disregard. But Lent gives us another opportunity to hear what the Lord is saying to us and perhaps this time to put it into practice.
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.
Monday, Week II, Lent
