Welcome

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.

Then Paul stood up at the Areopagus and said: "You Athenians, I see that in every respect you are very religious. For as I walked around looking carefully at your shrines, I even discovered an altar inscribed, 'To an Unknown God.' What therefore you unknowingly worship, I proclaim to you.” (Acts17:15, 22-18:1)

It is interesting that Paul doesn’t begin by chastising the Athenians for their multiplicity of Gods and temples, rather Paul praises their religious nature and begins to share with them the Good News. Today’s photo is of the Areopagus in Athens with a view of the temples on the Acropolis.
