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.

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 98)
R. All the ends of the earth have seen the saving power of God. Alleluia.
Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done wondrous deeds;
His right hand has won victory for him, his holy arm.

R. All the ends of the earth have seen the saving power of God. Alleluia.

When I started this journey of priesthood, I didn’t know where it would lead. But Jesus goes ahead. I try to follow in his footsteps. You have taught me that Jesus still lives among us. We only need to open our eyes to recognize Jesus in others. I have seen him in your faith and care. You are my family. Thank you for your love. “His banner over me is love!”
