But God said to him, 'You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?'Thus will it be for the one who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich in what matters to God. (Lk 12:13-21)

To be rich in what matters to God calls us to see the world through the eyes of Christ and to adopt the values of the Kingdom where the poor have the seats of honor—definitely a challenge to the church in every age.
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.
