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.

Thursday, Week II, Easter

For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of the Spirit. (Jn 3:31-36)

The Lord is generous in the gift of the Spirit, given to us without measure. We need that Spirit so that like the early disciples we too can proclaim the Good News. And as the Spirit spoke through Saint Francis of Assisi, “Preach always, use words when necessary.”
