For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God . . . and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. (Rom 8:12-17)

To be “led by the Spirit of God” . . . helps us to understand the image which the Second Vatican Council proposed for the church: the church as the Pilgrim People of God. A pilgrim people is a people on the move . . . as Jesus himself said, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.” And it is the Lord who invites us: Come, follow me.
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.
